Mike makes your time in his chair enjoyable. While he's cutting a precise style, he is engaging and humorous.

Mikhail is a true pro. He understands style and executes your vision. Highly recommend

After the sudden retirement of my barber, my quest has been to find a traditional barber. One who through apprenticeship or attending barber school has mastered the art of cutting men's hair so that it looks great long after leaving the shop, instead of a hair stylist who cuts your hair so it looks good leaving the shop, but by the end of the day needs continual combing to appear acceptable. Additional bonus points for working in a shop with a TV in the corner and lots of well read magazines next to the chairs in the waiting area. (yes, I'm nostalgic for shops like "Floyds Barber Shop" in Mayberry, although with a modern update) This place comes close. I stopped here yesterday with no appointment. Just walked in. I was very happy to get seated right away. Scott (I think that's his name) got started on my hair and in a very short time had succeeded in reducing my overgrown mop to a short tight well groomed head of hair. So far so good. In fact after I was pleasantly surprised this morning that while I was getting ready for work today I noticed that I didnt even have to comb my hair. It fell into place. No comb needed. Based on that alone I will most likely go back. Did it feel like a traditional barber shop? For the most part yes. Scott felt a little new, but everyone's gotta start sometime, and with Mikael right next to him the traditional ways are passed on. I did miss the constant sound and feel of scissors as most of the cut was done with clippers. That's just picky, I know, but the results were unmistakably great. The one thing I did miss though was smelling like witch-hazel when I left. but then again, I'm old and that's not something most customers would miss. final judgement: Great cut, 2 thumbs way up! read more

Was my first time here , made an appointment online selected my services and was off to the races . I must say I go to a few different barbers and this shop being amazing . The gentleman who did my hair and beard really cares about his craft and he takes time and care with each client. I highly recommend. read more

Great barber! This is the only barber I will see. Excellent beard trim and head shave!!

Mikhail is the BEST! I always get a great cut with him every time. I love how easy it is to schedule an appointment online and that I never have to wait more than 2 minutes tops after I arrive. Great service & totally worth it! read more

Great service and good price. Love the vibe here. My beard is tricky to cut. Very satisfied.

Mikhail is fast, friendly, and freakin' GREAT! Was very nervous getting my first beard trim ever on my apocalypse beard. I wanted it trimmed and clean but was nervous about it. In, out, no fuss. He was extremely attentive and skilled. Highly recommend Five Star Barbers!! read more

Greetings. High quality place, well run, with a good scheduling system. Keep up the great work! Thankyou for taking care of us customers so well. read more

I visited the barbershop for the first time yesterday. I had made an appointment in advance. I was pleasantly surprised to be seated right on time. The barbershop is open, roomy, and comfortable. Mikhail provided white glove service. He spent a full hour with me~ he was in no rush. He trimmed my beard perfectly. I am bald and like my head shaved ultra close. Mikhail shaved my head with hot lather, not once, not twice, but three times. Each time he steamed my scalp with hot towels in between. He finished me with an invigorating, cooling aftershave. Friends, my head is as smooth as a babies butt. I walked out of the barbershop feeling like a million bucks. I'll be back! This gentleman is a REAL barber! read more

Mike did a great job. Listens and understands how to best handle each individuals unique hair and style. Thanks. read more

My husband has been searching for a barber who can cut a flat top. Who would have thought the cut would be that difficult.. apparently it is. This guy is great! read more

We have been taking my soon to be 3 year old to see Mike for about a year now. He does an amazing job and my son is always so excited to get his haircut and go see 'Mike the Barber.' Sometimes haircuts can be unpleasant experiences for kids and I'm beyond thankful to Five Star for ensuring my son has a positive experience every time!!!! I highly recommend to anyone needing kids or adult cuts! read more

Best barber in the entire Atlanta area. 5 stars isn't enough. I've been looking for a barber for 2 years and after many failed attempts, Mikhail gave me the best cut of my life. The shop is gorgeous and clean, he is incredibly diligent and he does incredible work. If you need a new barber, HE IS YOUR MAN! read more

First time client. They were on schedule and did a great job with little instruction. You do have to book in advance but it's worth the wait. read more

I was looking for a new barber so I called this shop last week. Mikhail had one slot open that day due to a cancellation. The timing didn't work for me so Mikhail texted me a link to his appointment calendar on appointfix.com. I selected an open slot on this date. Mikhail had to push my appointment back twenty minutes but it was worth the brief wait. Easily the best haircut I've had in a year. Mikhail works quickly and methodically with minimal instruction. He's pleasant and polite without being overly chatty. I found my new barber. (Mikhail takes cash or Venmo payments but not plastic.) read more

I've been coming here since he opened years ago and still come back. Mike is the best without exception. Make an appointment and you'll be in good shape. Appointment system is better than showing up and waiting an hour. read more

Just not the experience I was expecting. I was looking for a nice men's salon or classic barber shop experience. The shop is very nice, clean, liked the old school wood, the guys were very friendly. But I just was not a fan of the hair cut. I was not a fan of the "Flow-Bee" cutting system and after I explained that I did NOT want a fade I wanted the sides blended into the top, I ended up with something just short of a shave on the sides. read more

I moved into town this past week and was in desperate need of a haircut. So, as all millennials do, I took to Yelp to find myself a new barber. Michael's attentional to detail is second to none and yet his technique is extremely efficient. I was lucky enough for him to have an open slot just an hour after I called. I was delighted to receive a text message reminding me that I have a haircut appointment with a number to call just in case I decide to cancel (which I'm glad I did not do). Not only is Michael good at haircuts, he's also very sociable (which, I think, is a very important trait for a barber). Knowing I was new to town, he recommended a bunch of restaurants that I might like to take my family to and also told me about some must-go places. $16 for a QUICK, CLEAN cut and some good conversation - can't ask for a better value! Getting my haircut from Five Star Barbers was a step in the right direction transitioning to Lawrenceville. I will definitely be a regular here. read more

Mikhail gave my grandson a great haircut. He is Very meticulous and experienced, It was exactly what he wanted. My grandson commented that it was the best haircut he has had! read more

Been going to the same barber shop for 10 years near my office. Didn't think anyone could match Gino. But with Gino only working Sundays and me working from home, I needed to find a barber closer to home. Gave Sports Clips several opportunities. Didn't cut it. Decided to try Five Star. Great find!! Didn't think it was possible, but as good as Gino. I will be a regular read more

Five Star Barbers should be called Ten Star Barbers! My son and I have been going to Mikhail for years! We have recently moved out of Gwinnett County, but will continue to make the drive to Lawrenceville and Five Star Barbers! Mikhail runs a top notch barber shop in a professional yet very personable way! Five Star Barbers would without a doubt earn more than five stars if that were an option on Yelp! read more

Seriously, guys. Check this place out. Mikhail is simply awesome. Super friendly, with an impeccable attention to detail. We've lived in the Lawrenceville area for over a year and a half, and never really found that "regular" place to get a haircut. Those days are over. Give it try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Mikhail cut my hair for the firs time today. I used to go to your local chain quick haircut places. I wanted to give mikhail a try cause I wanted my haircut faded. I went to Mikhail based on reviews and was very happy I did. I have found my new home for haircuts. Mikhail himself was very nice and the place was very clean. All his tools and setup was very professional. I highly recommend mikhail to anyone looking for a new spot for haircuts! read more

Not too many barbers can cut a flat top, this one is the best I've seen in many years, since I was in the military. Very friendly, easy to book an appointment, I'll be using this one for years to come. read more

Mikhail is by far one of the best barbers in the Atlanta area. I've been going to five star for close to two years now and every time has been perfect. Good at explaining cuts, fades, and very quick to get you in and out. Safe during COVID, and the easiest scheduling out there. Great customer service and perfect cuts. Can't recommend enough. read more

More like one star barbers, apt only and one guy that works. Dont count on this one. Very slow as well man

Hands down the best barber in all of atlanta. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Mikhail is the man and has years of experience. Great at cutting all kinds of hair. Great value. The price is good especially for what you are getting. read more

Horrible customer service, very rude and unprofessional. I had to cancel 2 appointments, due to a family situation yet i still rebooked with him using the link he always used. Yet his software is very bad it did not confirm my appointment and he double booked. What's worst he bashed me in front of his other customers for canceling multiple times. Never again going back to him ever again. Very Rude !!!! read more

I'm new to the area, and it has been hard to find a good barber that knows how to do a close fade. Adrian did a fantastic job. I'm very picky, but Adrian's work exceeded my expectations. This place is great. I brought my two kids with me, and they had a little area with a couple toys to keep them busy. Very kind to me and my kids. Highly recommend. read more

I love the way Mike cuts, but the only problem is he is mostly by himself, so it gets to be long wait most of the time even with an appointment. Also, you really need to schedule a few days before if you can. No walk ins. Great guy, I won't go anywhere else! There's a reason he's backed up and hard to get in with. read more

Love this place. They take only appointments now. I get the perfect hair cut Everytime i come here. read more

A Friday evening, looking for a place to take my son to get a haircut that was close by. Doing a Google search led me to this business. They have good reviews, so we went. The barber, Mikhail Yakubov, was terrific! He was friendly and did a great job with changing my son's style. The place is really nice and my son was happy. Will be visiting again. read more

See all

Moved from Orlando and was really skeptical about finding a trustworthy barber to do my hair but as faith would have it. Came across this barber shop while getting food for my wife at five guys one day. Went on yelp and looked at the review and it looked promising. Made an appointment the same day and they were able to accommodate. Carson was my barber and he did an impressive job with my hair. The owner which I believe he was was super friendly. The inside was welcoming and the service was just impeccable. Look for Carson if you want your hair done right. read more

I really liked this barbershop. It's hard to find someone that can both listen to how you would like your hair cut and then also execute that request. If you can get on the owners schedule, it's definitely worth the wait! read more

Don't go on a Saturday, unless you have an appointment with the owner. I drove 35 minutes, waited 2 hours as a walk-in, received a poor haircut, and left unsatisfied. I was impressed with all the positive reviews this place had received, so I decided to give the place a shot. It wasn't the owner that cut my hair, but an assistant that helped out on the weekend. I told him I wanted a high skin fade and to clean up the top, and showed him a picture as a reference. The fade was fine but the top was horrible. He gelled the top and told me I was done before I even got a chance to look at how he cut the top. When I tried to tell him how I wanted the top, he was adamant in telling me it wasn't going to work, and that he couldn't do anything else since it was already gelled. Why didn't you ask me before you gelled my hair if it was good? When the barber adds product to your hair, that is the signal your cut is finished, but it is common practice to ask if the customer is satisfied with the cut beforehand and what product they'd like to finish it off. I just felt like he rushed the cut since it was nearly closing time and there were still some customers waiting. Which is ironic since I was speaking to him about the shop and how quality over quantity was everything. I had already waited 2 hours, yet I received a cut and service equivalent to Greatclips/Supercuts, which is the exact opposite of what I wanted, and why I wanted to give Fiver Star Barbers my business. Many reviews pointed out how great the shop was at giving attention to detail, but I did not receive that today. I didn't mind waiting two hours as I was a walk-in, and it was rather busy, But it sucks to wait two hours, receive a 15 minute rushed cut, and leave with a crappy cut. I still gave the barber a $5 tip. I don't blame the owner for my unsatisfactory experience as he did not cut my hair, but I expect to receive the same quality of service from his employees. I may give the place another chance, but I'll make sure to make an appointment with the owner beforehand. read more

Michael runs a fantastic barber shop. His service has earned all five stars! I got a hair cut and hot towel shave and it was perfect. Be sure to call ahead and make an appointment. This is the best place in the Atlanta area and everyone knows it. Thanks again Michael, I am sending my friends in GA your way. read more

I have been here several times now and am so pleased to say that this isn't just my favourite barber, but the best barber I have ever met. This is not your ten minute haircut chain but the time and care put into even the most seemingly minor details set this man far past the competition. No barber has ever helped me find a style a didn't even know I wanted, then executed his trade so well. I've come here several times now and would drive an hour out of my way to come back again. read more

I've been here twice now and love it. The owner is super cool and has incredible skills when it comes to being a barber. I changed barbers after using my previous barber for 5 years and very happy I did. Check him out and call today to get on his books, he stays busy! read more

Been going here for about 4 months now. The haircuts are quick and they are detailed to perfection. Just need to know what you want and how to explain it. and they its awesome now that they take appointments, makes waiting a thing of the past. Additionally, Mike is really a great guy and someone I enjoy talking to genuinely while getting a cut. read more
