The best in town, all great people work there.I think gents should open up a 2nd classic cuts on the north side.

What a great business!! It's not just about the haircut as it is the experience. Six professional barbers to choose from. From Jason, the owner (who does mine). To his long lost friend Ryan. To Kyle who is a stud at the kid haircuts. Then there's Skylar the young buck. Then the best looking barber south of the mason Dixon line. Then at the end is the quiet stud Warner!! U can't go wrong with any of these professional and amazing barbers. read more

Gent's Classic Cuts - Barbers Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I've been to multiple barbershops in the auburndale area and the drive to Lakeland is definitely worth it for Gent's. It was recommended by a friend multiple times but I never bothered going. I let myself go for 2 months without a cut or shave and Kyle took care of me. I recommend getting an appointment because it was a pretty busy place and the barbers were booked up. I scheduled a week in advance and got "The Gent". It includes a cut, shave, hot towel, steamer, and face massage. Well worth it for only $30. Oh, it also comes with a shot of whiskey if you're old enough. I'll definitely be back read more

I've been going to Gent's for over two years now. Can't say enough positive things about the guys there and the place itself! Super chill atmosphere, classic decor and great tunes. I'm always greeted warmly when I arrive! It's by appointment only, which I love......no sitting and waiting for a spot to open up. Their cuts are on point! They take pride in their profession and it shows in their style!! No wonder they are consistently rated the best in the county!!! Great conversations and laughs. I always leave with a smile and a handshake! Can't go wrong here!! read more

Best haircut I have ever gotten. I'd say affordable too considering what some of these newfangled hipster barber shops charge. I'm officially a regular. read more

Very easy to schedule the appointment online, parking was easy and plentiful, the gents were friendly and have great taste in TV shows. Keep you chuckling the whole time. No walk ins, which is perfectly fine. Keeps the amount of people inside low and a good environment. Kyle was awesome. "You're under my skin."-Frank Sinatra Will definitely be going back again. read more

I had Clay trim up my beard and all I can say is they did exactly what I wanted. And quickly too. Super chill atmosphere. Nice people, employees and customers alike, that welcomed me in. I have no complaint and will without a doubt be back to have him trim me up again. read more

I always want to have Sligh cut my hair and beard....best haircuts of my life. Great, real men's barbershop.

Great service, great atmosphere, great people. I've been going there for years! No better shop in Lakeland.

My son and I both go here now. Lonnie, Brandon, Jason all do a great job. They pay great attention to detail, and aren't in a rush. I really like the concept; and the atmosphere is very personal. You won't be disappointed! read more

I have cut my hair in many places, not only in Lakeland, but around the country. This is the best place for men to cut their hair and trim your beard. Not only do they know what they're doing, the prices are very reasonable and the online reservations makes things easy. It seems like I'm going to have to fly into Lakeland once a month just to get my haircut when I move. read more

I've been growing my hair for about 3 years now and had a long mane going. My appointment was with Warner and I thought that I was pretty clear with what I wanted: shave the sides and back and leave it longer on top (an undercut). After he finished shaving the sides, he asked how much I wanted to be left on top. I pulled my hair back into a pony tail and showed him how much I wanted left (approx. 6-7 inches long when pulled back). He finishes up and had left barely enough to pull back into a tail (2 inches when pulled back). At that point there really is no use in complaining because the damage is done, so I put on a fake smile, paid, left a tip (because COVID and all) and left. read more

Brandon was great! I already scheduled my next appointment, trust me guys you owe it to yourself!! I finally embraced by thinning hair and knew the ceremony must take place from a pro, this cut makes me feel as though it was meant for me!! I definitely recommend!! read more

Gent's Classic Cuts - Barbers Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Walk in no one looks up, it's quite and Tiffany is playing in the background. I greet everyone with a hello and 1 lifts his head and then looks back down. Felt like Roy Munson(Kingpin reference) trying to sell them lane oil! I guess I'm from a different time where men are capable of looking you the eyes and asking how they can help you. Feels like LA in there, hipster vibe they looked upset that downtown got gentrified before they where able to. Lakeland has been a place full of personality and anyone that shows up in town with little to no personality are sentenced to trim the hair of downtown lawyers. Never been to a barbershop with most of the chairs full and no one is talking... how fun is that! Going to a barbershop is an experience that's why they even made a movie about it this place bucks the norm by making you feel like you just slept with one of their moms and they just found out. Went to beaded beasts by PF gym. Greeted me immediately and get this eye contact! They were packed but they said it wouldn't be to long and they are more than happy to get me in a chair in a few minutes. People where talking and having a good time I was finally back in Lakeland! read more

I recently had my hair and beard cut by Sligh and it was the best haircut of my life. The services provided here are surprisingly affordable given the level of expertise. There is free two-hour parking located on all of the surrounding streets. I have definitely found my regular place. read more

Having a boy who is very specific on how he wants his hair can be a blessing and a curse. I can not express how happy I am to have found Gent's. My son explained what he wanted and Lonnie made it happen. My son has never been happier with his cut. My husband decided to get a cut and shave also. Steam, massage and straight razor shave. He has never looked better. Having been to Art of Shaving this is better and much cheaper. The shop is clean. All of the barbers were super nice. They even had college football on! We will definitely be back. read more

I came in from out of town because my father had past away due to covid complications. They were completely booked. I called to see if they could fit me in if someone cancelled. Jason came on the phone and fit me in before the funeral. I got there and Jason is one of the most down to earth people i have ever met. He gave me the one the freshest cuts ive ever recieved. When i went to pay he wouldn't allow me 2. It was extremely touching. I will definitely be coming back. His shop is best. God bless you!! I wish him all the success and happiness. Thank you so much!! I will never forget the kindness you showed me. read more

The entire staff of Gent's, including the owner, make every visit hospitable, enjoyable, and full of gregarious laughter, while maintaining respect for all of their customers and a commitment to excellent barbering. Great haircuts and beard grooming. "The Gent" is a delightful (and affordable) haircut to get here. read more

Don't let the ridiculous people who give these guys one star because they don't have the forethought to schedule in advance dissuade you. Every one of the guys in this shop is awesome. Yes they are booked up in advance but that's because they are all masters of their craft. The atmosphere here is awesome. read more

Hands down, absolutely the best. Jason is an absolute artist. My husbands hair and beard are always impeccable. He does a complete job including eyebrows ears, and neck. Straight razor perfection on his cheeks and neck under his beard. The service and ambience are also perfect. I'm so happy. Thank you !!!! read more

Walk ins are not welcome! I have a very busy schedule and assumed, since it says walk ins welcome, that I would walk in and get a haircut! Now I'm left looking for another barbershop.... read more

Genuine barbers. Warner was the guy who cut my hair. Professional and full of talent. Takes his time and cuts it EXACTLY how I want it. They take pride in what they do. Wouldn't recommend any other shop in the Bay Area. read more

The barber seemed uninterested in my feedback and it genuinely felt as if I was bothering him to correct the mess he left in my hair. No disrespect but I left that shop feeling unsatisfied and wanting read more

This was by far the best barber shop experience. It had an old school 30's/40's men's club feel. Lonnie was amazing, and carried on a great conversation. I would suggest booking an appointment in advance (usually booked, so very few walk-ins available). read more

Gent's has a great atmosphere, friendly and lively discussion and most importantly they give excellent haircuts and shaves. I have Kyle cut my hair and I have done "The Gent" a few time (this includes a shave and a shot of whiskey!). This is the only place I know of where you can get a classic straight razor shave. A friend told me about this place and I have been going here ever since. It is in a great location in downtown Lakeland. The building is cool and the decor reminds me of an old time barber shop (they even have some antique barber equipment and guns on display). You will feel more manly as soon as you walk in the door and you will leave with an excellent haircut. It is appointment only and you need to plan ahead a week or two. I highly recommend Gent's! read more

Best haircut I've gotten in years. Cut exactly the way I wanted it. Josh did a great job. I highly recommend. Parking is a bit of an issue. Reasonably priced. Laid back atmosphere. They should play jazz music. read more

If you want to experience the best haircut and shave ever do yourself a favor and go here. Women stay pampering themselves, why can't us guys do the same every now and again? There is a reason this place is booked most of the time but it's worth the wait! I had Brandon cut my hair and beard. I did the full gents package and it was worth every penny. If i lived in the area this would easily be my go to place. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! DONT THINK TWICE JUST MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!! read more

Gents is the best! Awesome location, classic vibe, and all the guys are great. I get my hair cut by Kyle and he always does it exactly how I want it. I always look great after visiting Gents! One thing I love: They prefer appointments to walk-ins. No more waiting for hours on a busy Saturday. read more

Nice Place. Great guys. Great haircut. My style is early Beach Boy. No problem. Kid getting a flat top/mullet. No problem. Reasonable prices. I'll be back. Give them a try. read more

Found this barber shop and it looked like my kind of place. I walked in and they said they were too busy and would not be able to squeeze me in. That's understandable, so I asked to make an appointment and was told I needed to go to their website. As soon as I got home I went to their website and made an appointment. I showed up 15 minutes early for my appointment and was again told they were too busy and could not get to me. There was only one guy there and he was already squeezing someone in. So much for making an appointment.They might be great barbers but I will never know, I give up. read more
