Johnathan does a great haircut. Great conversationalist. And he offers nice extra features. Convenient location with plenty of parking.

It only took me 8 years to find the best barber for me in Atlanta. I had an awesome first time experience all around. Glad I made the switch. I'm over 4 weeks from my last haircut and still getting compliments. read more

Absolutely hands down the Best Barber in Atlanta. I found John while searching for a barber and when I saw he had a beard and his social media shows nothing but his clients and the work he produces, I knew he was the one. I been using John for a year and can't say enough good things about his work and business. If you want a great barber then give him a try. read more

Texted for an appointment and after confirming and seeing what info was needed I was asked for oral sex. Stay away unless you like being propositioned for sexual favors. Completely unprofessional and pretty gross. Buyer beware read more

John is a true professional. Takes his time to get to know you and what you are wanting. I've been going to John for about 4 months now and my beard has never looked better! He's the best. Worth the 40-45 minute drive to the Atlanta area from Canton to see him. If you're looking into Bear Barber, just make the appointment. You won't regret it. read more

Great haircut, great beard trim every.single.time. I've got nothing but great things to say about The Bear Barber Shop.

John knows his beards. Not only does he rock a mean one, he made mine look better than I expected. It's a two month beard and he sculpted it with a nice fade. He also recommended how best to grow it for my face shape. The dude knows his STUFF ! Going forward, no barber is touching my face but him. Thanks John! read more

Can't say that I've ever walked out of a barber shop and been content, but today was that day. I flew into ATL for the day to meet with customer clients and my hair to say the least looked like a bird nest. So I turned to yelp and found bear barber shop nearby me, John wasn't in but came back to his shop to get me cleaned up. His place was bright, clean, had good music, and definitely had a fair price. He listened to what I didn't want and helped me get something that does. Which is always hard to get, usually the barber looks at me like I'm a retard when I ask their opinion of what I could pull off. Going out of my comfort zone and posting a pic of the haircut. Thanks again John, will stop by again next time I'm around! read more

Decent haircut done quickly. My haircut needs are pretty simple. I can't speak to how he would do a more complex styling. Hence "only" four stars read more

I'm bald and have a short beard but still make it a point to get it all perfect every couple weeks. John never disappoints and has a great space. read more

First place that gave my 2.5 year old boy a haircut that was exactly what I wanted. John was great, he kept it trendy but youthful by not liking up his hairline. Will be a repeat customer here! read more

Called to get additional information on services on a Saturday. I was told I would get a text back that evening to discuss availability on Monday. Didn't hear back. Called on Monday to follow-up. I was told that he didn't take my inquiry seriously. When I asked why, he said because there are a few ways to make a reservation with him and he was busy with clients. Why not just state that in the first place? I didn't ask for a text back, it was offered. Not going to earn business by not taking potential customers seriously. read more

Best haircut I've had in years. Great place, friendly service. It's the place to go. Thanks.

I requested appt late afternoon Friday to see if possible to get in. John email and said he was book. Then he sent 2nd email letting me know he could fit us in! I was able to surprise my husband with first ever beard trim experience. John did a great job and was very helpful in food recommendations for the area. We will definitely be back! read more

John is absolutely amazing and loves his craft. I have been in Atlanta for several years now and have never had the level of service and attention to detail that John has. He listened for what I had to say, repeated it back to me and asked questions. I have been to several barbers to do my beard and he is the only one who has gotten it right. If you want good quality service with someone who truly cares go stop by with John. Thank you man. read more

Scheduled an appointment to coincide with a work trip to Atlanta from Nashville- I will be a regular client from now on. Great cut, fantastic beard trim. Also listened to and worked with me to get the best cut based on my requests. Can't wait to return on my next trip to ATL, I just hope it's not too long of a wait. read more

Incredible experience and well worth the time and money. Old Critical Care RN here and not easily impressed, I was impressed. Will be back

Came to John as a first time customer after having many bad experiences with chain barber shops. He offers a top notch service at an affordable price. He truly takes pride in his craft. Do yourself a favor and book John ASAP. His books fill up quickly, so try to jump on a week in advance to get a good selection of times. You'll be glad you chose Bear Barber Shop. read more
