Worst haircut I had in my life time. I asked the barber for a short haircut but instead the barber shaved all my hair off with his electric hair clipper. Barber never used his hair cutting scissors to cut my hair. Can't comb my hair now because it's too short to comb. My shaved head now makes me look like I just graduated from Navy boot camp. read more

I always leave looking sharp! The only bad reviews are people that don't know how to explain a haircut. Love the vibe and the cut!

I absolutely like this place ,haircut quality is immaculate The owner is extremely nice and talented .I would've never known about this place it's a hidden gem I'd like to see the place busier they deserve that local patronage! The atmosphere is laid back but I'm telling you a upgraded look some marketing this place could be rocking it already has that classic vibe! So this place is worth your time and money which reminds it is cash only but you won't regret it service is reasonably priced I'm now a new and repeat customer read more

Be coming here for years and have been through a few barbers who have been there for years. Good news is that they've been open for ever which means they do good work not to mention it's worth a 45+ min. wait. Top notch, sharp, knowledgeable, professional men's barbers. Thanks guys for let's me rant over the years and for doing great work. Not to mention, what does that tutti-frutti chick know, lol! Nothing and no one could probably please her. You guys are great! Keep it up! Alex read more

Re-located to Minnesota from California a few months ago (yes, just in time for winter lol) - and haven't found a barber that meets the high expectations set by my original barber back home. Walked into a Fleetfarm and spotted a guy with a hypster cut (clean cut, tight lines, fade, beard, etc.) - he recommended Mitch Gogins at Downtown Barbers in Forest Lake. Super nice, friendly, down-to-earth guys. The price is right! And took me way back to my childhood barber cuts - with the old fashioned hot lather shave in the back. Thanks guys! Will definitely be coming back soon - and will recommend you highly. : ) read more

See all

I may be a bit biased since my big brother is the owner. But, Downtown Barber's is a great place to get your haircut. Granted, I don't get my haircut there. I know the barbers and their work. Both do great work. While, getting your haircut isn't enough. You will also, be caught up on all the latest news in Forest Lake. And while you wait read the local paper, with a handful of peanuts and catch up on what ever channel is on the shop tv. read more

Great people. My father loved this place. Brent was at my fathers memorial service, which meant a lot. That says a bunch about a barber. Thank you so much. You meant a lot to my father, and not only did you cut hair, but were considered a friend. From Kenton Drums ( JPs son) Spokane, Wa read more

You will recomend Downtown Barbers as highly as I do after your first visit. You just don't find real professional barbers like Brent and Tim around any more. The best part is the friendly atmosphere. Great cut at a great price. Plus my kids won't let me take them anywhere else. Absolutely love this place! read more

If you're looking for a clean, professional, hip/stylish look, this place is not for you...I'd be better off shaving my head.

Great guys and atmosphere. Not for the yuppie that wants all the latest metro sexual BS. They can give you a regular haircut or spice it up for the younger generation. Give them a try, you'll come back read more

Great service at the best barber shop in town. Stop by for a haircut and get all the latest news in Forest Lake.

Brent and Mitch are both great! Great service, great value.

Brent and Tim are great guys. First and only barbershop I will ever go to! Tight cuts with great banter.

I have taken my son to Downtown Barbers since he was about 2-years old. The guys there are the ONLY ones who can get his hair right. We had to try someone else once and learned our lesson. This is a MUST with the old barbershop feel and owned by Brent, one of the nicest guys ever! Love this place. read more
