Kold Pizza “An Acquired Taste”

BP a month ago

I hadn’t seen Tank in probably 14 years, but I was visiting family in the area last weekend and decided to give him another try. He’s appointment-only through his website, which honestly fits the type of experience he provides. One thing I’ve always remembered about Tank is that he was years ahead of his time when it came to barbering. For him, it was never just about sitting in a chair, getting a cut, and getting out. He understood the aesthetics, ambiance, grooming, and overall barbershop experience long before that became the trend it is today. He was one of the first young barbers I knew who was doing hot towels for the face, shampooing and conditioning your beard—Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint, if you know, you know 😂—and finishing with a straight razor. These are things that are pretty common in higher-end shops now, but Tank was doing them years ago. Fast-forward to 2026, and he definitely didn’t disappoint. He has his own shop now, and you can tell he’s continued perfecting his craft. Before he even started cutting, he did an assessment of my hair texture, growth pattern, beard, and overall look. Then he actually explained what he was going to do, how he was going to cut it,

I have been going to Tank for eight years now, and I have never left disappointed. His attention to detail and the care he puts into making sure you leave without a hair out of place are unmatched. Definitely consider him to be one of the best barbers in the 757.

Easily one of the best grooming experiences I’ve had. It wasn't just a great haircut; the added touch of a professional hair wash and a refreshing facial really set it apart. They even finished the service with a high-quality cologne. It’s rare to find a place that focuses on the details and makes you feel like a new person by the time you leave. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the full treatment.

Tank’s services are a priceless experience and self care investment. His genuine engagement, meticulous attention to detail, and precise grooming skills are entirely therapeutic and transformative. I went in for a fresh cut. I left feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. I had the King’s Pie experience. It was nothing short of a bespoke spa treatment, in addition to the best looking haircut I’ve ever had. For head, beard, facial, and overall cosmetic care, Tank is a master artisan. He has a purpose for every product used. And he explains and demystifies the approach a bit throughout the process, while being fully present for any client questions or preferences. My highest recommendation, hands down.

My first time at KOLD Pizza was nothing short of amazing. The vibes were great, and he was professional and personable. Tank made my children feel very comfortable and at ease, as this was a new barber for them. They enjoyed the shop, he engaged with them, and the overall customer service was top tier. We travel 2 hours for it so that should speak volumes in itself. My twins were very happy with their cuts, and that makes for a happy mommy. The trip is always well worth it! Soo if you are ever in Norfolk, go get a slice!
