I went to a professional hair stylist for 15 years. When he retired I transitioned to Ginger's Barbershop at the recommendation of a friend. Between the great vibe, music, super cute/chill dog Einstein... and always great cut, I love the place. Great folks. Walk-in and appointments - I'm usually 50/50. Never waited more than 15 minutes ( more time to hang with the pup). read more

First time in Lexington, came in for a walk and and got Tiph. Service was great and she gave me an awesome cut for great price including beard trim and hair wash. She also gave me great advice for style my beard myself. 10/10 read more

Ginger's is a queer-friendly and disability accomidationg barbershop that I adore! I see Jenny-Ray here, a dual-licensed barber and hairdresser whom I have followed to different shops to get my hair done over the last decade. I cannot express enough how glad I am that Ginger's have become their home! It is friendly, conveniently located, cozy, and safe for any and all walks of life, and hair textures! I have been told many times that the nature of my hair requires several upcharges; length, texture, thickness (I don't even have thick hair), frequently at the end of my appointment when the service is already done, blindsiding me. With Jenny, that has never been an issue, and it is standard practice across the whole shop. I pay what the original agreed upon price is, every time. If something is up with my hair that requires additional charges, we discuss options and a budget. I have always loved my haircuts from Jenny, but I love them even more now that I get to enjoy them at Ginger's! I cannot reccommend them enough. Please go give them a visit and come out feeling refreshed! Main Points Needs Reservations: usually, 80% of the time Atmosphere: 10/10 Disability Accommodating: 10/10 Price: $ read more

My husband comes here every time and I love his cut! He's got Asian hair, and for whatever reason, salons have such a hard time cutting his hair. Ginger's nails it every time. Walk in available, but call ahead just in case. :) read more

I've come to Gingers every 2-4 weeks since 2010 and have always recommended my friends and family here. But ever since they've switch up barbers I haven't been happy with their customer service. Today was the breaking point for me. Everywhere posted says they close at 5:30, but let it be known that they "don't take appointments starting at 5pm, so they can get out by 5:30." Understandable, if it was clear online, Instagram or even here on Yelp. But I've never been turned away at 5:18pm because "they've had a long day." Thank you for the past 10 Ish years.... I wish this place the best, but don't plan on returning. read more

Corrine always cuts my hair perfect. And she is very prompt and courteous. I'm so glad I found her, my hair isn't the easiest to deal with. read more

I stopped in with a 3 month delay in a haircut from Chicago! My son is a UK student and he directed me to Brooke. I haven't sat in anyone's chair in months and she was AWESOME! Two thumbs up for a great person and service. Thank you read more

Finally! We've found a Barbershop that can manage to act professionally and do an amazing cut, at a great price I might add! I just loved Ginger's from the moment I walked in.. and I wasn't even getting a haircut! The gals were super nice and the waiting area was real cozy! My Hubs was a Walk-in and we chose a good time for it as there wasn't much of a wait at all. His Barber knew exactly what he wanted without tagging some Hipster Name to it, and pulled off an exemplary cut, quickly. While it's a bit of a drive for us, I know where we'll be going from now on! read more

See all

Best fade I've ever gotten!!! Can't remember her name... but the lady in the 2nd station on the left is amazing!!

Stuck in her ways. Gingers slowly running the barbers there out. Also she makes it clear she can just work a 2-3 hrs a week and she's "good". I love the barbers so I recommend coming in the evening after ginger leaves. read more

You never know if the place is going to be open or not. Today is at least the third time I've driven over here to find them randomly closed. When you are only off 2 Saturdays a month, this place isn't very convenient. Very capable barbers, just not dependable. read more

McKenzie did a bang-up job on my hard-to-cut hair. First time there, and a walk-in, I explained what I wanted and she listened and cut my hair the way I like it. I have walked-in other shops where the barber listened buy cut my hair the way they wanted not the way I asked. But not here. I was also happy the I passed Isabelle's "sniff" test!!!

Ginger's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

During my last haircut pre-Covid my barber gave me more money in change than she should have. When I tried to explain that she gave me back the same amount I paid, Ginger insinuated that I was trying to argue the price and asked the one male employee at the time to come to the front. Ginger assumed I was being a problem customer, but in reality none of the employees understood basic math. I gave my barber a large tip as it was the only thing I actually had to pay for. My barber thanked me for my generosity but Gingers attitude prevented me from being able to pay the actual cost. read more

Ginger started cutting my hair in the 1990's and was the only I ever went to for all 6 years that I was in Lexington. Lucky for me, she's still going strong and I still visit often. She cut my hair recently and it was like I never left. Thank you for doing what you do and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

This shop was a great one, until they lost all their amazing barbers. Idk what's going on here. Seems like someone is always leaving, and so am I. I'm following Brooke read more

The staff is friendly and professional. I got a great haircut at a fair price. The waiting area is comfortable and plenty of parking in back. read more

Ginger's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Ginger has been my barber for the last 12 years. I can't imagine I'd go anywhere else. My last barber died (after going to him for 40 years). I'm lucky to just happen to pass her shop shortly after. Not only is she a great barber but is a better person. I don't know a nicer kinder person than Ginger. Phil A. read more

This place is wonderful! The staff is so nice and fun! We have the best chats, and they seem legitimately interested in catching up. I'm an eccentric fellow, and I've never encountered any negativity. I get a high quality shave and a hair-cut within 10 to 15 minutes. They're casual and professional at the same time, and I feel that this place really contributes a lot to making the Lexington downtown community great. I've had my haircut by Ginger, her daughter, and another fellow whose name I can't recall. They're fantastic, friendly, and they do a great job. read more

I'm been going in here since the beginning of the year and Ginger gives the best haircut along with a neck shave. Highly recommend for the price read more

Hair stylists with lack of attention to detail. I had two haircuts done there with a couple of spots missed. That I did not see until returning home. Will not be returning. read more

Just had worst haircut EVER there. She didn't listen to what I said. I'll never go back. She cut all my hair off. No mirrors to see what she was doing while she was doing it, so too late by the time she was done. read more

Ginger and McKenzie do a great job! I'm a guy that likes to have big shaggy hair, but it sometimes gets a little out of control. When it does I just go to Ginger's and have them tame things. For a guy that cuts his own hair, it's important to have a hair stylist that listens and they do! 4 stars b/c there was a guy that cut my hair, and not so great. But either of the ladies do a great job! read more

Ginger cut my hair and she is very good! I am new to town so it was great to find someone who knows how to do what I want!

Outstanding haircut. The best place in Lexington. I've been looking for a place to get my haircut since I moved here. I've tried several places, but this is definitely the best. read more

I've been going to Ginger's for a little over a year, and what a great experience it's been. I have never got anything less than a great haircut. While Ginger is my usual barber, Ginger and McKenzie have both cut my hair. They are both skilled and professional. I have never made an appointment, and the wait is never too long. All for a reasonable price. If you're looking for a new place to go, look no more! read more

This place is great! Popped in on an around the country road trip for a quick haircut. About 5 minutes later the guy in there gave me best, cleanest and most even haircut I ever ever had. Granted just a clipper cut but this guy is great. I didn't catch his name but got the impression he's one of the main cats there. Kudos to them. I'll have to go back read more

I received an outstanding haircut from ginger herself. She was personable, quick and efficient and worked through of her short line in no time. If you show up and there is a wait, don't despair, it will be quick and there are plenty of current magazines. The price was $15 for a men's haircut, plus tip. While the nationwide chain barbers are $14 , this place offers much better service. read more

Amazing place! Amy has cut my hair a couple times at Ginger's and I would highly recommend anyone to go here. I've received more compliments on my cut when I've been here than anywhere else. Great atmosphere and great prices! read more

My husband got an awesome haircut, I believe by Ginger herself. She asked him really good questions about his hair (especially since it was his first time visit) - when it was last cut, if there was a certain part of his hair that stuck up a lot (she noticed! lol). Anyways, he came out with a great cut - I think his best one yet! Super happy and he'll be coming back! read more

Totally butchered my head. Was done in 6-7 minutes. Clearly worried more about getting to the 4 people waiting then executing simple instructions. Asked for a simple fade of the sides, got the same length all the way up. Basically got a military cut. I'm usually very forgiving when it comes to haircuts, but very displeased with what I got today. Created a Yelp account just to write this review. That's how piss poor of an effort she gave. read more
