So I hadn't been to a single barber shop down here in Punta Gorda since arrive back from college to quarantine with my family. My hair had gotten extremely thick and heavy and My beard looked like a birds nest as I was told by my family. I finally decided to checkout the local barbershops and after seeing the Bearded Scoundrel's name and logo I was hooked. I called the place up to see if I had to make an appointment or how things were working with the virus still active and after a quick friendly chat with Ben I went for a walk in. I only had a short wait behind two younger boys with their mother getting their cut and although slightly hidden along the main road this barbershop is fabulous. It's just a single chair where Ben works on everybody and he is super friendly, and is super awesome to talk to. He offered me a drink the moment I sat down for my wait. And once I got in the chair with a quick idea of what I wanted Ben got right to work and did a fabulous job! He's very professional and efficient. I played a game or two on his setup for those customers who are interested and he did his thing. By the end I looked better than I had hoped and he gave me a great price on the service. I left looking great and feeling great. smelling of black cherries from one of his shave or cleaning rubs and sandalwood oil which he offered to me for my beard. Ben is one of the nicest guys and an awesome barber. I left with his card and a new self confidence that I hadn't felt since before the whole pandemic started. Thank you so much Ben! And I can't wait to come back. read more

I have been coming here for the past six months. Ben was recommended to me by a friend. The place is awesome. The location is an old hotel room that was changed in small business. There is plenty of parking. The location is on the second floor, and I do not believe there is an elevator on the premises ( so no handicapped access). Ben is awemose. I am distrustful of getting a haircut from a guy that shaves his head, but Ben knows his business. You are offered a drink when you come in (alcoholic or nonalcoholic). He has an Xbox with the newest games. My son loves going and he plays video games the entire time. He begs me to get his haircut. Ben uses a strait razor of your neck and uses a powder so there is no chaffing. He also uses hot towels on your neck as well. Ben is super friendly and he is great with children. His prices are comparable to Great Cuts. I kinda thought about not making this review because I do not want everyone to find out about the Bearded Scoundrel, that is how good he is. I guarantee if you go there you will become a regular. read more

I am incredibly grateful we found The Bearded Scoundrel! My son struggles with severe anxiety and other autism-related challenges, making haircuts a difficult experience for him. However, Ben, the owner, is the only person who has ever been able to make him feel truly comfortable. Ben takes the time to connect with my son over video games, which puts him at ease. After each visit, my son always feels bettet about himself and his confidence grows. The positive impact on his self-esteem is immeasurable. It's more than a haircut! I can't thank Ben and his team enough they truly make us feel like family when we walk in the door. I wholeheartedly recommend The Bearded Scoundrel to everyone! Thanks again! read more

I called up The Bearded Scoundrel Barbershop because another barber (near-by) did an awful job at cutting my hair. Despite me calling them 20 minutes before closing, while they were also cutting other people's hair till past their closing time, they still decided to take me in. After not only fixing the other barber's mess, he insisted for me not to pay for the service. Both barbers were very friendly, the shop was very clean, and the experience was overall wonderful. As I've been to several barber shops in Punta Gorda, I strongly would advise anyone to get their hair cut at The Bearded Scoundrel Barbershop. read more

My son went there yesterday. I told him they were open based on listed hours I found, my apologies. They apparently close at 4 on Saturday. However, once he opened the door, even after hours he was not permitted to leave without a haircut and a beard trim and shape. He was pretty scruffy looking. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm not a fan of his beard, but y'all made it look much better. This momma is happy. I'm sure his girlfriend will be as well. Great job. Excellent customer service, you could have turned him away. He will definitely be back!! read more

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews but MAN, this place is something else. I was treated well, given a free beverage while I waited and was hooked up to the 9's by Ben, who is incredibly charismatic and personable. He knew exactly what I was asking for and gave me a flawless haircut and shave. Even after he went above and beyond for me he still took the initiative to ask how he could improve customer service. Prices are beyond reasonable for the experience you get. If you're looking for a new barber just stop now and go here. read more

Real Barbers, Real Artists, Real Food, and Real People are getting harder and harder to find. Walked into this place... had an awesome chat, a great head shave, and a perfect beard trim. This dude is a good dude and a great artist! Had a beer, had a laugh, and left 100% surprised and 500% satisfied. I will be back, and I will recond everyone in the area to expierence a master of his craft. I support local talent, small businesses, and good peoples. Sit back, relax, and let him do his thing! read more

So I Had my first visit today, no appointment just walk in. It's a small one man operated barber shop. Greeted with hospitality and offered a drink. The service was the best I've had. Such respect and passion for his trade! Left feeling comfortable and confident with my new look. Weather you're looking for a fresh modern cut or you're a bearded fellow looking for some style - this place is the spot. Defiantly will go back. (I never write reviews but I felt compelled today) read more

Ok so I've been to many different barbershops in my life, due to the fact that I was in the military and many people have cut my hair. But the haircut and the treatment I received from Ben was exemplary and absolutely fantastic. All I can say is wow, this guy can cut hair and he takes pride in it. I highly recommend him for anyone in the Punta Gorda area. His shop is very welcoming and has a great vintage feel to it. Thanks again Ben you rock brother!!!! read more

When I first moved to the area I tried out a few spots, but Bearded Scoundrel made the best impression. I have now been going here for over a year. The environment is really relaxed and the hospitality is great. The owner, Ben, is very loyal to his customers and makes sure everyone in the lobby is taken care of and offers complimentary refreshments. I highly recommend this barbershop. read more

Every single time I walked in I felt like family not only do you know how to do a perfect job you went above and beyond what I expected from a haircut every single time and that you made an effort to know every single customer made for a perfect experience can't wait till I visit again. P.s thanks for letting play the Xbox read more

Ben is the greatest and nicest barber I have ever been to. Makes a great cup of coffee. He takes his time and makes sure you're completely happy with all aspects of the cut. I will definitely be using Ben and the Bearded Scoundrel as my regular barber from now on. read more

Ben did a great job listening to what type of cut I wanted and did a fantastic job. I like skin tight fades and many barbers are not comfortable or interested in doing these types of cuts. Ben was flawless, and the razor shave and eye brow trim was a nice touch! read more

Today was my first time here and I'm really happy with what ben did. He seems like a really good guy and he did a great job with my haircut before my wedding. My usual barber was closed, so I went to bearded scoundrel and I'll definitely be back. Thanks! read more

I came across the Bearded Scoundrel on Yelp. The 5 star rating is both accurate and deserved. This man turns a hair cut into an art form. The attention to detail is appreciated and the conversation tops off the package. I plan on becoming a regular. read more
