My son and husband had a great experience here, walking away with nice, fresh haircuts. The walls had lots of KU memorabilia and the staff were very conversational. They can't wait to come back! read more

Came in town for work and I decided to get a haircut. Worse decision ever. The inexperience barber I got can't do a proper fade and blend the sides. You get what you paid for. Go somewhere else. read more

Downtown Barber Shop - Horrible fade - Barbers Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

I spent a full day photographing the crew at Downtown Barber for an documentary assignment. From 6am to closing time they had a constant stream of customers from all ages and walks of life. It was beautiful to see the kindness, care and respect that they gave to each and every person. I can understand why so many people have been going to them for years and years. It's a truly special place that can't be captured in a mere Yelp review. read more

Downtown Barber Shop - Jon opens early for a longtime customer. - Barbers Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Simply the best! We love them all, but my son would only let Rachel cut his hair from his first cut to kindergarten. Jay can do some awesome designs. If you go in and there is a longs wait... it's because they really are that awesome! We drive 45 min to get the boys cuts! read more

I went in just to get lined up/cleaned up for an event. When I got back to my car, I almost cried cause it was so bad. My hairline was in the front was pushed back and my sides were boxy and sharp even though the hairline was round. The hairline she messed up wasn't even cleanly cut; I was expecting it to be cleaned up with a straight edge but she just used a machine and it still looked unclean. Might've had better luck doing it myself. There might be better barbers there but I wouldn't try my luck there ever again. Look for an ethnic barbershop. Posted a picture for context. read more

Ever since getting out of the military I struggled with finding a great place to get my hair cut. When I found Jay at the Downtown Barber Shop I knew this would be my go to place for as long as I was in Lawrence. I am pretty particular with my hair and my son's hair, so this is the place for us. I will warn some of you that the line can be pretty long sometimes, but they are well worth the wait! All of the Barbers are professional, and make you feel like you are part of Downtown family! This is the ONLY place in Lawrence, KS to get your hair cut. read more

showed pictures and everything, asked for a inch off top and cut it to the scalp practically.

I came to get a haircut on 08/16/22 and left wishing I had never come. I showed a photo of myself with the haircut I wanted which I had gotten from a barber in another city. I asked for the same exact haircut, and got something far from what I had requested. The barber said I should've told them to leave the back longer since I had a cowlick... The photo showed my hair clearly longer in the exact location she said I should've mentioned to leave longer. I've been coming to this barber for over 20 years, I even got my first haircut here. I won't be coming back. read more

I have been taking my 4 sons to the Downtown Barber Shop for 15 years. The barbers are great. My youngest son has autism and they are really good with him. He's able to go in by himself most of the time lately. I know he's in good hands. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Def going back. Nicole was awesome. Good cut. Quick service despite Covid stuff. Also seemed clean!

I'd given this a high rating but I went in for a hair cut, it wasn't to entirely bad. But the barber girl was to reluctant in talking about her sexuality and made me feel very unwelcome, uncomfortable, and very awkward. I did not go in to hear about equality or lesbian issues nor to have that imposed on me. That's the last I'm going there. read more

This is our favorite barber in town! The staff is amazing, prices are great, and they do SO well with my special needs son!

Great barber shop. Super affordable. Tons of KU memorabilia, and 2 HD plasmas with sports on all the time.

Never had a bad cut here. Jay and Shelby do a great job! Seniors and military discounts for those that fall into those groups. Visits go quick even when there's a line. Ohh yeah, older crowd seems to fill up the right side. (No, seriously, if you're not geezin' or otherwise fartin' dust enter the left side door.) read more

I just got my hair done here, lines weren't straight and my hair is completely uneven. Two employees were particularly rude. I believe his name is Jay and a bigger woman next him (don't know her name) Jay cut my hair and the woman was making rude comments under her breath to another customer about the particular haircut I was getting. I am a person of color and I was treated significantly different from others right from the moment I walked into the door. I wasn't acknowledged and comments were also being made about a previous customer which were inappropriate. I don't recommend going if you're ethnic. read more

Great fast cut. Thanks Rachel for always giving my son a perfect cut. Never have to tell her how. She remembers him everytime. Took FOREVER to find someone who knew how to cut his hair. Won't go anywhere else in town. read more

Went in yesterday for haircut some shorthair mid thirties woman butchered it don't go there worst service rude stylist

I've been going to Downtown Barbershop since I moved to Lawrence about three years ago. They offer a great atmosphere, great price, and great haircuts (with one exception see below). Agreed with other commenters about the blonde woman (named Jamie?): I didn't like my first haircut from her but I figured, "Shame on me. I should have been more specific." She has cut my hair twice since then. Each time I convinced myself it'd be okay, but being more specific didn't make it any better (she obviously didn't listen to me). Besides her, though, everyone else is GREAT. read more

I got a haircut on 7-22-15 at Downtown Barber by Jess. I discovered on my e receipt that I was charged a tip as well as an extra amount for the cut. I paid cash for the tip and supplied a discount card for the cut. I've had my haircut at this location for years, and never had any complaints or issues up until now. read more

Great place. Old school barber shop feel. They have drinks and a video game station to ntertain th kids. Prices are good and cuts are too!

Pretty decent and fast hair cut with very reasonable price and a great friendly customer service, I'd have loved it if they took appointments, it happened that i came in a slow time but if i came an hour later I'd have waited for quite a while. Thank you John for a good hair cut. read more

Great place to get a haircut. Ask for Shelby. She took her time, and made sure I was happy with everything aspect of my haircut.

Great haircuts, friendly staff, good prices. However, they are only open 12-5 on the weekend, which is their busiest time. Walked in at 12:01 to find out that they had opened early and the store was full of customers. The worst part is that, this being one of their busiest days, only half of the shop was open and there were only TWO barbers working. TWO! Not smart business, but quality nonetheless. read more

Had one of my worst haircuts of my life by a girl with blonde hair. Don't remember her name but she cut the tops of my ears pretty bad with a razor and said "it happened again" to the barber working next to her. It was still bleeding when I got home! She proceeded to ask me repeatedly throughout if it looks good and when I would say yes, she would say are you sure? which made me have no confidence in her. I had to get it fixed the next day because of how uneven it was. Very uncommon for usually a decent haircut place. read more

This is where I buy all my products!!!! Unbeatable prices and my friends and family who visit are always wanting to go there to stock up too!!! read more

This place sucks. Horrible customer service. I took my friend in today to get a hair cut and right when I walked in the building and saw that their was a military discount and it was for nine dollars. I said to myself, hey I can save my friend two dollars. So, I went to the lady and showed her my military ID and I saw that she had a bad attitude with me. Not sure if it was the color of my skin or what. They just seem all rude. I would inform everyone of this. If you are into customer service, this is not the place to go. Onto my story again, after my friend got done getting his hair cut, the lady automatically turns to me and says with an attitude and says "for next time, you need to be active military!!". I just said OK and looked back at the sign and saw nothing that said active or dependents. But hey I'm sorry, my dad is in Afghanistan protecting all of you guys and you tell a simple customer that he can't get two dollars off of hair cut. I thought that to myself and stuck up for myself and said it doesn't say active or anything. The guy or the owner automatically gets mad and starts saying stuff in a very rude manner and says "ill fix it!!" he gave me a very bad look. I hope that dude sees this. You are running a very bad business by the way you fricken jerk off. My dad is in another country protecting all of us, including you and you can't simply give his son a two dollar discount. Horrible customer service. For sure, I am never going back to that place. read more
