Been going here for years, love the environment. Good people, great vibes. Friendly crew that's always been welcoming.

Service and ambiance top tier ! Can't stress how hard it is to find such good energy and vibes and you find it here !

I was a walk-in and Sue made time for me. I really liked the cut and she was warm and personable.

Quick service, cool atmosphere reminiscent of an old-school barber shop, free beer while you wait, and a great haircut! A little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. read more

Fountain Square Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The barber was distracted the entire session, paying no attention to detail. Overall, a bad experience -- wouldn't recommend.

Guys this is the place to get your hair done or your head shaved or your beard trimmed. Amazing barbers that know what they are doing! Jacob, shaved my head with a straight razor and went above and beyond shaving my head. He was precise and took his time to assure a clean shave. I'll be back in three weeks! They are also kid friendly so bring your boys and get them a grease cut! read more

Amazing service and haircut. I will definitely be back. You have to try this place. Matthew is an amazing Barber.

Great Nostalgia, quality of cut, accessibility, and barbershop conversations. Love all the dogs that stop for a quick treat too.

Quality of cut, appointment, timeliness, friendly staff makes this the best shop around!!!

Jacob did a great job. The best cut and beard trim I've ever had. By far the best shave I have ever had. I've been to many executive barbers that were good but not as good as Jacob. I also loved the vibe of the shop. It's the best. I have found my barber in Indy finally. I will be a regular going forward. I highly recommend Fountian Square Barber Shop. - Ken read more

I paid for two haircuts Sunday and today for over $100 (with gratuity). I had to get my haircut from Sunday fixed and I was charged, but I didn't object. I won't be back. You send emails promoting discounts and I go, because of that, but the discounts aren't applied, when checking out, and the barber didn't know how to do - that was another appt. read more

Here in Indy for work and made an appointment at this shop! Before anything else, the sense of community is great. Lots of people came by just to say hello to the staff, grab a dog treat, and enjoy the space. The staff was very kind. My barber, Jacob, was really cool! He's a great conversationalist and made sure everything I asked for was done. The shampoo and condition after the haircut was unexpected in the good way, and such a bang for your buck for the price of the haircut. Would definitely come to this shop again if I'm ever in town. read more

Always a great cut. True old school barbershop atmosphere. Everyone treats you right whether they are cutting your hair or not

Amazing service with an authentic barber shop feel. My 12-year-old son and I have been coming here for five years now and will continue to come for as long as we live. I brought my 3 year old along this last time and Mac gave him a cut too. Which was over and above expectations!! I highly recommend booking your appointment online. Matt and Mac have treated us right and all the other barbers clearly know what they're doing. Great place! read more

Fountain Square Barber Shop - Matt the Magician! If he can make this look good he can make anyone look good. Give him a shot! - Barbers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

They got me in quickly but didn't seem too keen on it. I'm appreciative for that, but I left with wonky sideburns, didn't notice until I got home. Might give them another shot honestly. read more

Matthew always gives me a good haircut and the atmosphere is fun. I got to give a dog a treat yesterday

Very nice atmosphere. Was greeted as soon as we walked in. Clean. Son got a buzz cut with a little fading. Jasmine knew what she was doing and he liked it. Good, even blending. read more

Was recommended this place by a few friends who have gone to see Jasmine here! As expected, she did an amazing job! Walking into this place is awesome, it's an old-time barber shop feeling. All chairs were full and each barber was cutting away! This place is easy to book, with online booking. Highly recommend checking this place and it if you need a top-tier haircut! Thank you Jasmine!!! read more

Live in Los Angeles but from the greater Indianapolis area. Back and forth taking care of an elderly family member she heal after surgery. I prefer to get my haircut here in Indy instead of Los Angeles. Service, compassion, price point, attention to detail, and always made to feel as if I'm at home. Every barber greets every returning and new customer even if they are not their client. Michelin rated, white coat service being a barbershop and 5 diamond service at a reasonable price. A diverse one stop barbershop for folks of all backgrounds. In the beautiful historic area of Fountain Square. read more

Amazing unexpected atmosphere. Nice barber with great beard (Matt). Free pabst beer in the fridge?!! Free street parking. Wow.

One of the amazing shops to get your haircare or grooming done. Hair artist who work here are amazing and very friendly. I live the place it has a really old school vibe to it. They accept cards & cash for payments. As this shop is right on street you have to find a parking spot around and can find some free parking spots a block away. read more

Always welcoming and friendly! Never had a bad cut or issues getting in as needed! Old school vibes, new school cuts

My four year old was treated like a little man during his visit at the barber shop. His barber was very patient and gave him the best hair cut he has ever had. At the end he was given a chocolate bar which was his favorite part. The ambience and service of the place was superb. read more

Fountain Square Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Love the atmosphere of this barbershop. Feels like stepping back in time with the music, the smells, the decor, the entire experience. Mac truly loves his job and it always shows. I had been a fussy salon person for years and now I'm not sure I can ever go back. This is the haircut experience I have always been looking for. read more

haircut is good, but took a little to much off the sides..More so, I felt very rushed when it was my turn and they asked what I would like and they mentioned that they get a little overwhelmed sometimes with walk-ins- so sorry for the wait. They seemed a little annoyed that I stuck around to wait, even though I said a few times I can come back and even initially asked if they took walk-ins. Most annoying thing is that when I went to pay and tapped my card on the reader, the guy quickly leaned over the screen and gave himself a tip and then hit complete. Didnt ask, didnt ask me to finish the transaction...incredibly rude. I was planning on giving a tip because the guy did a pretty good job and said he wasnt really even suppose to be working but was helping out..but you just dont do something like that. A little disappointing. read more

Review Old timey type barber shop with a cool vibe. Friendly service and great haircut! Matthew has perfected both his craft as well as his personal approach to all customers, new and old. read more

Jump into a time machine and be transported to the past at Fountain Square Barber Shop. Everything from the chairs and wall art to the uniforms on the barber's backs--it all looks like it's been picked out decades ago. Fountain Square Barber Shop is located in Fountain Square (DUH) off of Prospect Street. It's right across the White Rabbit Cabaret and steps away from breweries and other restaurants. There is no designated parking lot so you'll need to keep an eye out for street parking (I've never had any problems finding any). Now for the real talk -- the Barbers. The guy I go to is Jake/Jacob. He is AMAZING!! He's the first barber I've found in Indy who seems really dedicated to his craft, as opposed to other barbers who just give you a quick fade and send you on your way. I personally have weird hair that goes in different directions and sticks out like a porcupine. Jake always seems to take his time to make sure that my hair doesn't look funky which shows that he genuinely wants to do a good job. He's also very easy to talk to, not fake at all , but also doesn't mind some comfortable silence. Jake is the only reason why I keep going back and I'll continue to go back there as long as I live in Indy. He's great! You can make an appointment on their website and also choose your barber--so make sure you pick Jake! Another thing I love about this place is that there seems to be openings for the same day and if not there's always an available slot within a few days. All the other Barber Shops are sometimes booked a week out. I highly recommend this spot so keep them in mind the next time you're looking for a good cut! read more

Went in for a beard trim. I had a morning appointment and they were ready for me early. Jasmin was great; very fast and efficient, and very friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable, quiet and relaxed, and their prices are very fair. It was 15.00 for a beard trim and shape up, and the appointment was quite quick--definitely under 20 minutes. read more

Matt took care me, got me right in. Cool dude, cool place with good vibe. Will definitely come back

Awesome place - had Matthew as my barber today. Great Dude! Also had my grandsons hair cut as well. His barber was fabulous too!! Thank Guys read more

Went to get a haircut and beard trim, the barber however decided to do what he wanted and did a horrible job, my entire right side had more beard and hair then the left side, destroyed my mustache, beard and hair! I still paid, but I should have just walked out!! I got home and shaved my head and beard off! read more

The staff, location, and speed of service were the reasons I recommend Fountain Sq barber shop.

Friendly atmosphere and excellent work. Really cool oldies barbershop vibe with great service. Easy choice.

Zach is great! He's open to my ideas for my toddler's hair, informative with feedback on my preferences, extremely patient with my kiddo & really good at talking to him like he's a part of the process. Also, the place, in general, is inviting and friendly and chill. And great pricing! I would gladly pay $20 for a quality kids cut at a shop that takes reservations and treats my kiddo nicely. This was our 2nd visit & we'll definitely be back. read more

Fountain Square Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I'm not gonna lie, this is the worst hair cut I've ever gotten. Dude with the messy Afro cut the back of my neck so bad. One big continuous slice from edge to edge on the back of my neck besides that the hair cut looks terrible. An absolute disappointment and waste of money. so pissed I went here. I shoulda realized it would be bad when I seen the barber didn't even have a hairline. I never write reviews, but I'm pissed. read more

As always good service!! Always come here for my brother s hair cut and he love it the staff is very nice and friendly.

Friendly great service and best haircut I've got in Indy in the last 8 months felt like my barbershop back home. Very relaxed and I have two cowlicks they were able to hide perfectly. This will be my regular barbershop from now on. read more

Today I visited The location to receive the same haircut I received last month which I usually show a picture of and I received a different version of it that I'm used to I can't say the haircut looks bad because it'll get me through to my next one but it's not the typical version that I receive and what he did to the sides was not consistent with what I asked him to do but had already been cut down very short by the time I saw wish he would've asked to see the pic again or something granted it was my fault for choosing service from just any barber but I just don't think he felt as comfortable with the specific cut, he spent a lot of time brushing my hair far more than I'm used to... also he didn't apply my $3 off for booking service through hire Fredrick which is no big deal but it was advertised and I shouldn't have to ask read more

Matt made my cut an all around great experience. He was kind and polite as well as focused and efficient. He gave me the best haircut & beard trim I've ever had. read more
