The Salty Dog Barbershop

Today was my first time going here and seeing Gamy after he was recommended to me. The place is gorgeous and spacious with great music playing, free drinks, and even a pool table to play while I waited (even though I didn't have to wait). Gamy greeted me and sat me down pretty much guessed exactly what I wanted done without me even saying anything. He was very sociable and easy to make conversation with, making the whole experience very enjoyable. All his tools and his workspace were clean and well kept, and he was nothing but professional and friendly the entire time. And the cherry on top: this was, without a doubt, the best haircut I've ever gotten. I will absolutely be coming back, thanks for the great cut and experience!

Been going here for a few years now and have had nothing but great experiences! I usually see Ryan, who is fantastic, and I know if he is not available I will get a great haircut from any of the other Barbers on staff! Highly recommend!

Had a really great first experience. My barber was Tim and gave me great suggestions for what style would look good on me and different details that could improve my cut. I'd been worried about going to a new barber after moving to Buffalo but this will be my go to while I'm here.

Best haircut I’ve ever had - Gamy is the absolute best! Amazing atmosphere and the barbershop crew are friendly and welcoming. Great to have these guys right here in BUF! If you haven’t checked these guys out yet, you need to!

I've been a regular at The Salty Dog Barbershop for about two years now, and I have to say, every visit has been nothing short of amazing. Gamy Linares is my go-to barber, and he's a true master of his craft. Not only are his haircuts worth their salt, but he's also a great conversationalist. Back in March of 2023, I was laid off from my previous job, and visited the shop for a pre-interview trim. I really wanted this job, stressed the importance of a good, professional haircut. Upon hearing this, Gamy smiled. He assured me that this particular haircut would be so great that it'd guarantee me the job. I like to think sometimes that the demos I made tirelessly and interviews I partook in helped out, but Gamy's craft is definitely, 100% what sealed the deal. This man got me that job. I owe a lot to Gamy for his excellent work.The shop itself is always clean and tidy, also boasting a professional, yet fun atmosphere. There are comfy chairs, magazines, a pool table, conversation, and more to occupy your mind before it's your turn on the cutting block. I can't recommend The Salty Dog Barbershop enough to anyone in Buffalo looking for a top-notch haircut and a great experience. Thanks again, Gamy, for your fantastic work!

Salty Dog Barbershop is amazing. I have been going regularly for about two years now and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else in town. Ryan Sparkman cuts my hair and he is a total professional, but all the barbers are great folks who clearly care very much about their craft. The shop is also a really welcoming place for EVERYONE. This is not a stuffy old shop, nor is it some too-cool-for-school trendy joint you’d hesitate to walk into. They cut every type of hair and have a really diverse clientele (ages, races, different walks of life, etc.). It’s a very nice place to be.

Barbers are professional and personable. It was fun to get my hair cut. There is a pool table that you can use while you wait. The music is great. And free drinks! Can’t beat this for a barber shop. Ryan is my barber and would highly recommend him to anyone!

This place is awesome, its got a great relaxed atmosphere, the people are friendly and not intimidating at all. Tim was my barber and he did a incredible job, he's very thorough, patient and cares about one thing and one thing only, his client. I will not settle for less when it comes to my barber and you shouldn't either. Go see Tim and tell him Anthony Z. Sent you, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Tim at The Salty Dog nailed it. I walked in after 4 months of no hair cuts and walked out with a clean fresh cut. The atmosphere is great as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better barber or location. I’ve been getting cuts from Tim for years and he keeps amazing me.

Went in today and got the chance to see Tim, had a wonderful experience! I also Brought my little one in as well and he loved it just as much as I did as he couldn’t stop smiling! 10/10 recommend and I will hopefully be in again soon!
