Doing a show next door, and felt my mop getting a little shaggy. The owner/barber here was a gentleman and an expert. I showed him a picture of the style I wanted, and he not only did it justice but improved it to suit my head! I love a classic barbershop - the smells, the razor, the hot shaving cream. And the price was awesome, too. Other tour mates had negative stories about past experiences, but if this place was near my home it would easily be my go-to haircutter. read more

Classic barber haircut including neck shave. Price is $12 cash only. Price went up at start of 2015. Usually 2 or 3 old guys in here that do the haircuts. One of them is president of the state barber association I think. They chat if you want or just cut if you don't feel like talking. I amuse myself with the pictures on the walls. There ought to a be a history channel show on places like this. I almost never have to wait long if I get there around 10 or 10:30, but when I show up at noon or 1 there can be a 15 minute wait. BTW- I knew I was getting old when they offered to shave my eyebrows. read more

I heard about this place by watching the CBS Show On The Road with Charles Osgood a few years back. They did a story about Joe Brown the barber with 80 years experience. I believe Joe was 98 at that time. I had to get a haircut from Joe. He did a great job! As said in the show, Joe knows. You don't have to tell him how to cut your hair. He was 100 the last time he cut my hair. I went back last week and sadly Joe was out sick. He's still cutting hair at 103! A very young 21 year old cut my hair and did an equally good job. I will definitely come back next year when visiting Pensacola. read more

I was staying overnight in Pensacola and needed a haircut for my business meeting. Found Esquire Barber Shop on the map. Went in at 8:50AM and 2 barbers were ready to go. Joe Brown took care of me and what an inspiration he is. He will be 99 years old he has not lost passion for cutting hair and he was a real inspiration to me and one everyone should look up to. Great haircut in an Old Timey atmosphere complete with historic memorabilia. I thought I was in the Andy Griffith show in Mayberry. I would highly recommend it. Found the hours online and wanted to share here. PHONE(850) 438-9763 Monday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Wednesday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Thursday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Friday 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Saturday Closed Sunday Closed read more

I like straight shaves. My dad showed me at a young age how a real shave should feel. Hot towel, hot foam, and a sharp razor. I went into esquire to get my head shaved. Now first off I have some thick hair, even though it was fairly short, the stubble is still coarse. That being said, I got the hot towel. I got the hot foam. I am sure it was a sharp blade. However, the barber just jumped right into the shave. He didn't trim the hair down with an electric clipper first to make it more manageable he just went to town. Ok, I can deal with the feeling of a razor being dragged across my scalp pulling hair as much as cutting. This isn't my first rodeo. What made this less pleasant was the barber was quite a bit shorter then me sitting in the chair. He asked me to, "scoot down a bit." Which I obliged but it still wasn't enough. So during some of the shave I lost some skin as well. Anyways, moving forward. After my head had been shaved he moved onto squaring away my beard. Wow. I mean I already had a good indication of where I normally line my beard. He didn't get close to it. I pointed out where the line was and he went at it again. Better but still not good. And partly crooked. All in all. The atmosphere was nice. Nostalgic. Old time and true barber shop smells in the air. The hair cut was sub par. Lots of nicks. Not as close as one would expect a straight razor shave. And crooked beard. I might give this place another shot, but probably not. Seeing as the other gentleman there told me upon completion of my shave, "I wouldn't have shaved you with hair as thick as yours read more

What a great place! So friendly and if you are a golfer from Scotland like I am you will find plenty to talk about! The guys are off to the UK in September 2012 and might partake in a few rounds... and they might take in some golf while they are at it! Great haircut and at $12 great value! There is dust everywhere and you would think you were in a 50's time warp but that is what makes this place so good! Highly recommended! read more

Haircut with the game on from a guy whose a retired basketball coach and just doing the job cause he loves it for around $10. That's how I describe my experience. They do it right. Straight razor the back of the neck and all. Plus the whole place is decorated in Gator memorabilia everywhere. read more

Exactly what a "Barber Shop" is supposed to be! If you are visiting the Pensacola area and find yourself in need of a haircut you need to try this place. I went today for the first time based upon the other review and I wasn't disappointed! They also have all sorts of interesting items hanging on the wall and it reminds me of a "pop culture" type museum and there is free parking across the the street from the parking meters. read more

New to town and was looking for a new shop, Googled this place and thought is would be good because of the reviews. I was wrong and so are the reviews I read. We walked in said hi and smiled at everyone, both barbers that were in there didn't say anything and gave us a look. We sat down anyway for about 2 min and still nothing said from either barber, plus the smell was horrible. So we got up and left. These barbers were rude and apparently didn't care for new clients. read more

If you are ready to step back into time & experience Pensacola as it was in the 1950's, then head on down to Esquire Barber Shop for a REAL haircut. Let me tell you what - these guys are still using straight edges to shave your neck. You want find any "highlights" being done in this fantastic establishment. Nope -- just a few copies of Maxim laying around on the bench. After you're done with your haircut, stop by the Pipe Rack for a soda. Pensacola at its best! Any haircuts are still $11. read more

Well today makes the fourth time I've stopped by Esquire A. During a weekday and B. During normal business hours (10-4) and once again they're not open. That wouldn't be so bad, except they have no hours posted anywhere on their door or windows either (and they even had a sign up that read "Sorry, we're open!"). It's clearly still in business as everything inside is still there, and every light is left on, they're just never open. I've also done a thorough internet search to find out more about their mysterious hours, (you can too) to no avail. I can't recommend this place to anyone, as their trip to get a haircut would likely be a wasted one. read more

Sorry barber. I would never recommend. I walked in 15 minutes before closing (4 pm) and the barber told me that they were closed. They had no customers and they were just standing around talking and watching TV. It wouldn't hurt him to clean up the dump either. Further, you have to pay a meter to park your vehicle. It's not worth it. read more
