Comfortable, welcoming environment, and great staff. Televisions at every chair. Short wait times

Quick service. Friendly but no frills BS which I like. Great haircut. Can't ask for much more. Ya get what ya pay for, this isn't some $8 great clips. Proper fade, neck shave, and cleanup. Will be back. read more

Amazing service great cut professionally done. Oscar did a great job. Highly recommend him.

Came in looking for a simple 1inch trim of my chin length hair but ended up loosing 2 inches of hair and a very uneven cut. If you're not experienced with cutting longer hair, please don't practice on your customers. read more

They often do not answer their phone in a timely matter or leave it off the hook. Good service when we finally do get appointment. The annoyance of several times not being able to contact them during regular hours is detrimental to their business. We do like our particular stylist otherwise we'd definitely go elsewhere. To be clear, this has happened on three different occasions so it is not a one off. read more

They did a fantastic job of cutting my hair. Got me in and out quickly with exactly what I wanted. Plus they have TV and a massage at the end. Would recommend. read more

I have never had an issue waiting with this place so I can't complain about that. This is my third time getting a cut here. The first two times I was pretty happy with my cut, but this previous time I'm not satisfied. I very well explained the cut I was wanting including pictures for reference. Too much was taken off the top, the fade was much higher than I wanted and the back of my head wasn't blended well so no it looks like I have a bump on the back of my head. They couldn't even get my sideburns to be of even length. The barbers have always been nice so I'm not complaining there, but I don't think I'll ever come back. The cut I received just felt like a very sloppy job. I don't know why I would pay more to come here when I would get the same quality at great clips. read more

I've been coming to Gentleman Joe's for YEARS, for a reason. It's simply the best place to come for haircuts. These guys are the best of the best. Which is why it's SO BUSY. Be prepared to wait, cuz they take their time to get each and every haircut perfect. I've sometimes had to sit for an hour. But, WHY would I go somewhere else? To get a crappy haircut?!? If you don't have the time or the patience or the desire for an awesome haircut, PLEASE, go somewhere else. Or, just make a damn appointment, for God's sake. Gentleman Joe's is the only place to go for a perfect haircut every time. read more

This place is legit and I won't be going anywhere else from now on. I wasted money at great clips and received the absolute worst haircut I've ever had, went into this Barbershop not really expecting to be able to salvage much but literally night and day, I feel so much more confident now that my haircut looks clean and professional. Thank you so much! read more

If you value your time find somewhere else for better service. To start this was not my first time time at this location. Took my kid in for a hair cut, I was well aware about the wait. We hung out outside once we signed in. 1 hour later I see the sign in list and we were next. Problem was being next doesn't mean anything to these barbers. Kept taking in new comers with appointments. If that's the trick to getting a hair cut why not post a sign at the door saying appointments only. The rest of us walk ins waiting hours while new comers had a barber seat waiting for them. Ended up walking out after one barber acknowledged my frustration while checking the list again and said 'sorry bro we have appointments' Save yourself the time, skill level isn't that great to wait around for hours anyway. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! This is my second time to go to this location and not get a haircut!! I put my name down on the list and two people that came after me get called up?!?! I was never welcomed in or even said hi to. Worst customer service I have ever seen. When I went in, there were 5 barbers cutting hair. I left because while waiting it went down to two barbers and both took people that came after me!!!! Moral of the story is : Never go to the place!!! read more

Dr. Mike, surgeon of hair, is now practicing his craft at Gentleman Joe's barbershop in Mesa. If you have an unruly mop that looks like it danced all night with a high school janitor before leaping back on your head, Dr. Mike is the man with the shears who can tame your locks so they resemble a finely styled topiary. Gentleman Joe's is a great barbershop with many skilled barbers. My introduction to it occurred when my regular barber, Mike, move to this location. The men in this shop know what they are doing with their tools of the trade. They wield their shears with skill and every head leaves looking much better than it arrived. If you're looking to turn your Medusa's head of hair into something Adonis would admire, look no further than Gentleman Joe's. read more

Gentlemen Joe's Barber Shop - Dr. Mike, ready and waiting to trim your unruly mane! - Barbers Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

These guys are professionals! They perfected their craft at cutting hair for a reasonable price. With great cuts and a good/cheap price, expect this place to be busy! If you can't wait or don't have the patience to get a excellent haircut for a low price then don't come. Waiting could take up to a hour if you don't set up a appointment. But for the prices they have and for clean and great cuts they offer, it's worth it. read more

I'm here 45 minutes before closing and they have the doors locked and barbers milling around inside.

My husband came in got to n list 12 ahead of him went outside to move his truck came back in and the blankety blank scratched his name off list. 2nd time there last time there. We'll take our money elsewhere. read more

TLDR - this place is a churn & burn dump. Barely a cut above a Great Clips -- save your money & time. Firstly, this place's service leaves a lot to be desired. Most of the barbers working here seem like they simply can't be bothered & it definitely shows in their work. From the moment you walk, you're going to be met with maaaaybe a quick glance - there's no introduction or even a quick 'Hey'. Next, you're going to spend the next 20-30 minutes waiting for anybody to even acknowledge your existence. Once you're finally seated in a chair - an immediate red flag is just how unkempt the whole place is. Next, the whole reason you're here, the haircut - if you came here for any thing besides a crew cut, well -- shit, you came to the wrong place. I asked for a more contemporary cut and showed the barber a picture of exactly the look I wanted. Nothing too fancy, but something completely manageable (especially at a $32 asking price for a 'precision cut'). What I got instead was a 90s inspired frosted tips monstrosity. Worse yet, I have MY WEDDING in 2 weeks - to say I'm livid is an understatement. There's zero communication after my barber took a 5 sec look at the photo I showed him & I had to remove my glasses so I was unable to see the hack job. The barber had the gall to say I needed more product in order to get the 'look'. To make it even more infuriating - this is not the first time I've asked for this look here, I've had this same haircut done 2 f*#$ing years ago with amazing results. Thinking back, I've never been so emotional (basically the whole 7 stages of grief deal) after a haircut before, but it was a truly horrifying experience. To make matters worse, I came back a day later after cooling off seeking a refund. The 'gentlemen' at the register today could not have been more dismissive/unhelpful. He stated that he could not help because there was no manager on the premises - like whuuut? Not only did it seem like a badly crafted lie, but if so - they just admitted directly to violating an Arizona's Board of Barbers statute soooo good going there! read more

No matter which shop you hit the haircuts are always on point, you walk out feeling fresh and clean.

Apologies for not remembering the Gentleman's name, but I was very happy with my beard and mustache trim. They use a straight edge razor and really pay attention to detail which is very much appreciated. The wait was a little long, but you can call in for reservations which I would advise and will do next time. read more

This is the barbershop I have been looking for for the past 6 years I have been coming to the Mesa, AZ area. My first haircut was in the mid 60's. Gentleman Joe's is classy, traditional. You feel refreshed and renew. This will be my goto barber from now on. read more

I have lived in PHX for 3 years and the first 2 I couldn't find a place to consistently cut my hair. This establishment is always pleasant, and I have always left pleased and confident. read more

They raised their price by over $10.00. $35 for a haircut Are you kidding me. Your cutting hair! Nothing has changed to justify the raise. I will find somewhere else to get a quality haircut. read more

I used to love going to Gentlemen Joe's and frequented multiple locations; from downtown Phoenix to Mesa. After trusting them for about 8 years I have decided to move on and find another barber. The best, most reliable barbers seem to go elsewhere after awhile and thus the quality of cut has been declining for some time now. In addition, the price has been rising just as the quality has started to fall. The cherry on top was my most recent [attempted] visit when I made sure to call ahead to check that I would be able to get in (as a walk-in) before they closed. The guy on the phone assured me I would be sat but 15 minutes later when I showed up they turned me away. The straw that broke the camel's back. read more

Terrible customer service! Be prepared to wait 1.5 hours to get a haircut. They need a new system on managing waiting customers. It is the worst customer service I have seen. read more

The sign for closure is at 6. If you're going to lock the doors at 5:40-5:45 then change your closing time! I would like to give 0 stars being as I didn't get any type of service except a nod of "NO". read more

This place is a joke i been getting my haircut here for a few weeks until this day that i brought my friend with me he's African American and we waited about 2 hours to get a haircut when there was no one else in the barbershop just us they refused to cut are hair literally told us we had to leave so I'm positive there where being racist there was no other reason for them refusing to cut both are hair. Avoid this place! read more

Don't advertise shoe shines if you don't provide that service. Take that sign down. Or, stop being lazy and provide the damn shines. That way you won't have to waste money creating new signs for your shop. Yes, people still wear leather shoes in 2021. Fix it! read more

I'm really picky about my hair and they did an awesome job! I recommend going early because of the wait time but other then that I definitely recommend the wait if you want a great trim. read more

This place beats the heck out of.... well anywhere! The interior is dark wood and there is also a hint of cigars in the air ( from the tobacco shop next door). Beard trims, shoe shines and straight razor shaves are offered here as well. I took my 13 year old son here to get a real haircut. He had a great time. I think he earned about 20 man points on his man card. The barbers are great and did exactly what he wanted. This place is located right behind Bass Pro Shops. Come here and get your cut and then go to Bass to get your fill of all things man! In the immortal words of Tim Allen OH OH OH OH OH! Only Negative is the hours of business. They close by 6 or 7 pm depending on the day, and closed on Sunday. read more

Butchers. Never again. Been here many times and the quality of the cut depends on which barber you get. Last three times I've drawn the short straw. read more

I've been getting haircuts here in the past 6 months and I have to say that today killed my experience and I'm never walking in here again. Horrible customer service. The barber told me to quit being a cry baby because I told him how I disliked my previous barber at the same place for making my head bleed several times. It's a haircut, not a head cut. Yes, even professionals make mistakes but that's not something you tell a customer. read more

The sign-in sheet is a joke. I used to take my son there, but the wait times amd quality of haircuts are just too inconsistent.

Heard a lot of good reviews so I decided to come in and get my haircut here. When I got here, I liked the overall atmosphere, but my haircut is one of the worst haircuts I've ever gotten. My hair is really uneven and just looks horrible overall. Went to a great clips the other day and even the barber agreed that the haircut was bad, but they fixed it and it looks great again. Really want to go back and give this place another try, but I'm not sure if I want to anymore read more

I was looking for a good place for men's grooming that still did a clean shave and haircut in the valley. Than I heard about Gentleman Joe's from Yelp, first off I'll like to said the haircut results were phenomenal, price was decent at a $39 fee(that's haircut and shave) without tip. Be prepared to wait though, It was a 40-45 minute wait on a Saturday afternoon, first timers are to know that you must sign at the desk before you're service, it goes by pretty quit because you got nearby TVs to entertain you. Service was grade A detail to the tee and lengthy, I believe my whole session was about 40-50 minutes. I will be coming back read more

This place is worth the drive for my two boys. I recommend an appointment and you may need to wait a bit even with an appt but it's 100% worth it. The price is great and the results are excellent and always consistent. We love Isaac but other barbers do a great job too. This place was recommended to me by a family who's been coming here exclusively for years. Highly recommend Gentlemen Joe's! read more

I drive 20min every time I need a cut because no one I've tried comes remotely close to this joint. Every barber in this place is skilled. They're good with my 5 yr old son too. Cool guys, best spot around for a barber. I wish they would bring back the shoe shine guy though. read more

First time I went and won't be the last. I travel to AZ for business often and finally found an barber by the name of Jesus. He not only did he cut my hair just as I asked him to, but took his time and gave me a head and neck massage! This is a definite must and ask for Jesus!! read more

First off great haircut, comes with a neck shave and a brief massage. Other positives are having plenty of barbers on hand and tv's right n front for those not wanting to socialize. Can't argue with that for 18 bucks. They were busy so understandably there was hair on the floor which i thought could have been cleaner. Overall a fantastic cut, great looking shop and good experience. Tip: Located by Toby Keith's bar, not the spot on shown on the map. read more

Give your vision of how you want your hair to look, and let the barber do the rest. End result is exactly what you pictured. Finally found a barber shop! read more

I was a regular at Gentlemen Joes for the great cuts but after the way I was treated I won't be going back. I don't know who handles the appointments there and I don't really know if they just make it up as they go since it's not listed anywhere but what I do know is that they need to work on their communication skills because when someone "like my self" allows 4 people to go ahead of them so that one barber "Sergio the Manager" can cut their hair that barber should have the common curtesy of letting that person know they have an appointment so that they don't waste hours of their time, like everyone else my times very important to me and for him not to say anything even when he knew I was waiting for him is very disappointing. Thanks for reading. Hope your experience is better then mine. read more

This is my new barbershop. Sergio did a fantastic job trimming my beard and a flawless shave on my head. These guys take barbering seriously. Worth it! read more
