Just got back from Jose's Belle Barber Shop. As usual, Jose gives the best haircut in town. I also l like the new location. It is a little bit smaller but parking is a whole lot easier. The new location is in Fairview Park at 21964 Lorain. Give him a try. I highly recommend, read more

Since moving to Cleveland last year I've been looking for a barber that I can trust consistently, and truthfully it's been a challenge. A coworker of mine kept coming in with very consistent and clean cuts so I asked him who his guy was, and he recommended this place and Jose to me. I called to see if I could do a walk-in, and they were busy which anyone who lives in a populated area understands, that that's a good thing. I understand that head is not the same, and some barbers will do what you tell them, and others, what you mean to do and should. I had the same barber for years in GA, and told Jose roughly what I used to get and showed him a photo. On his first run-through he got it nearly perfect, and worked with me quickly to adjust the fade to what I was looking for (because I wasn't the best describing it to begin with). He clearly cares about what he does, and will work with you to get your hair looking good. I'll update this review the more I go, but I'm happy to say that I think I've finally found a barber in Cleveland worth going back to. (Additionally his prices are extremely fair, I ended up tipping to equal what I would typically pay for this cut, overall great people, great place, easily accessible location) Imma be for real, there are some trash reviews under here, so to put it simply.. Busy? They're good and cares about his craft, literally make an appointment and you'll get in. Something isn't EXACTLY how you wanted it? Ask them to touch it up and they will get it how you want. Lotta people get bad cuts because they suck at explaining, which is good because Jose can help you understand what you're describing and get it cut how you mean for it and want it. read more

TLDR; Jose is a terrible hair dresser. My regular hair dresser moved to a different location so I was looking for a new hair dresser. I thought also maybe I could save some money by going to a barber shop instead of the salon. I looked online and found this place and noticed in the reviews that Jose was very highly regarded. I scheduled an appointment with him specifically, on the phone a woman asked me "fade or cut" and very plainly said cut. When I get to the shop, a woman greets me and I say I'm here for the appointment and she says "Oh you're here for the fade?", to which I said "No, I'm here for a cut". She goes into the back and I can hear her talking to someone and I hear the words cut and fade. Finally, Jose comes out, I tell him what I want, a simple cut and trim, and we sit down. He was very friendly and nice to me while he was working. After not very long, he stops and is like, here you go, what do you think? I said it looks pretty good, can I see the back? He hands me a mirror and I notice all the hair in the back is still the same length. I said, aren't you going to cut the back, too? He is like, oh okay. He cuts for awhile and shows me again, from my angle it looks fine so I say okay. It wasn't until I'd gotten home that I realized he didn't cut the sides at all, he cut the front, some of the back, and didn't trim or clean up any of the hair underneath. It was a complete mess, like 4 different lengths in different places. Literally one of the worst haircuts I've ever had in my life. I don't know if he was mad that he had to do a cut instead of a fade, or if he normally only cuts ethnic hair, or if he's just an incompetent hair dresser who had his friends leave good reviews on Google maps? I don't know, what I do know is he is awful and you should not let him cut your hair. Oh, and I only saved $3 compared to what the salon cuts were costing me and those include a shampoo! read more

OK, I have tried to tolerate this place forever, always giving them the benefit of doubt and waiting for them to get it. With the two primary barbers passing away a few years ago the replacements are neither up to being acceptable and certainly far less than cordial. A 50 year customer who probably who likely got his first haircut there will never step foot inside again. read more

I got my hair cut here as a youngster. It was a nice creepy barber shop with animal heads on the wall and Playboys on the empty chair in the corner. The one dude always smelled like cigarettes and would cough on you the entire time. They showed me the ropes in life I guess. After I went to Mike's Barber Shop, I never returned. read more

This place is great. I walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. The conversation was light and enjoyable, and I was very happy with the haircut. I went in with a picture I found online as a loose guideline for him and he totally nailed it. He was equally skilled with my hair and my beard lineup and fade. The straight razor neck shave was an awesome touch and didn't cost anything extra. As for the place itself, the decor is dated and you can tell it hasn't been updated in a while. It could use a good cleaning. But to me, it all added to the charm of the place and, considering the cut I left with, I can't find room to complain. I will be returning! read more

My husband has been dragging his feet looking for a new barber, and I had heard how great this place is, plus they've been around forever. He went in on a Saturday and came home a short while later with the nicest haircut I've EVER seen on him. No joke. Even better, he loved it as well. He raved about how they took the time to make sure they understood what he wanted, gave him some suggestions and then gave him a speedy cut that he also agrees is the best on he's ever gotten from a barber. read more

A real barber shop with real barbers that have been doing this longer than most of us have been alive. I got my hair cut here as a kid, and on a recent trip stopped in. Same three guys as usual in there cutting hair. Quick and friendly service, and a great job for the price. if there is a short wait, you can admire the stuffed marlins on the wall, or just read through the morning paper. read more

I was pretty disappointed the other week. I went in to get my haircut and was not greeted which isn't a huge deal. So I waited while Jose finished up his other customer. He then finished cutting the other guys hair and still doesn't say anything and walks to the bathroom. Again not a huge deal. So j wait until he gets back and get my haircut. He didn't say more than two words to me the whole time. All this I can get over but then I go back to work and realize he left a very long strand of hairs in the front. It was bad. It was just careless. I then went back to have him fix it. I had to wait again and then wasn't offered anything to compensate that he had messed up my haircut. He hardly apologized for doing it. Anyway they have lost a customer. read more

Belle Barber Shop - They missed a long strand of hair when I was in. And then didn't offer a refund or anything to compensate for it. - Barbers Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

I have been going here for almost a year. I never thought I had what someone would call a difficult hair cut. But it seemed like I shopped around for barber's for almost 3 years since I moved to Lakewood. Nobody ever seemed to get it right though. Then I went to Belle barbershop, and met Steve. Now I will never go to another barber shop again. He not only does great work, but is also a exceptional person. Service here is always great, and the staff is awesome to deal with. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a hair cut. read more

Great friendly place! Jose knows how to give an awesome skin fade right. Only place around that know how to do a military skin fade right.

Hands down the worst haircut I've ever got. Walked in and there were 2 barbers, no other customers. Wasn't greeted at all and just sat there for a few minutes. A guy named jose walks out and just says "haircut?" Awful customer service right off the bat. This guy hacked at the top of my hair with scissors as if he was trimming hedges in a hurry. Then with clippers he pretty much was stabbing at my neck and dragging them upward to give me a fade. Very painful. He didn't talk at all during the haircut. When it was all over I paid and walked out because I was in a hurry. Finally got home and took a close look in the bathroom mirror. The fade looked like absolute garbage and the top was so many different lengths it looked like a toddler cut my hair. Aside from the terrible haircut, the place was dirty and outdated. There was old vending machines inside with hand written for sale signs on them. Unprofessional and trashy environment overall. The positive? Only place in Lakewood I've seen a haircut for under 20 bucks. I recommend stefanec's in north olmsted. Haircuts are 2 bucks cheaper and you won't walk out looking like helen keller just lined you up. Long story short, stay away! read more
