I went to 'Old School Barber Shop' across the street first, and they messed my hair up so badly I immediately went here. Luckily Brian who was almost done stayed to cut my hair. He did a fantastic job, was patient, and fun to chat with!! Super appreciative for him sticking around and for the great haircut after the previous mishap at the place before!! Will be back. read more

Great place and people! Recommend highly. This is the spot. Great people, talented and friendly.

Harley is my guy! He's been my barber for years now and I will follow him anywhere! Not only does he have a laid back personality but he's also professional and incredibly skilled! Harley always walks me through what he's about to do before he cuts my hair. I can't go to anyone else! read more

International Blades & Shears - Undercut done by Harley - Barbers Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I moved to the area this past January and I've tried several different barbers only to receive mediocre results. I made an appointment online with Harley and was highly impressed with the results. I've been back several times and each cut has been consistently perfect. read more

Brian Buchanan cancelled my appointment 30 minutes before I arrived. He was caught lying for using the excuse for being exposed to covid19 and close the salon. As I drove by minutes afterwards, there Brian Buchanan was cutting hair, store open. I texted him saying I am watching you live cutting hair, yet he lied again saying he was home in covid19 isolation & store was shut down. The audacity of Brian Buchanan lying to a longtime, dedicated client, using a global pandemic as an excuse for simply running an hour behind is un forgivable. SHAME on you Brian Buchanan. read more

Just moved to town and needed a haircut. Brian was very cool and easy to talk to! He gave me an awesome cut and told me all the cool places around town to check out! Super cool place and will be going back as long as I'm here! read more

Just got the Gentlemen's cut, hot towel shave, and beard trim by Ken, the owner of International Blades and Shears. This was my first time here and let me tell you, it was an excellent experience! I called Ken up last minute and he was able to fit me in the end of his day. I arrived and he was wrapping up with something so I had a few minutes to check out the digs. They have an incredible selection for men's hair, beard, skin, and shaving products. I'm not talking about Gillette here - this stuff is high quality artisan products for a real gentlemen. The vibe was good - they are currently going through a renovation to expand, but everything was still very clean and well kept, and Ken was quick to apologize for the transition stage. We went into one of the styling rooms, outfitted with beautiful dark wood cabinets and marble countertops all surrounding a beautiful, classic barber's chair. Ken's tools of trade were all organized and clean, making me feel very comfortable. He asked me what I was looking for and attentively listened as I very confusingly explained. He gave me great recommendations and a few good ideas for a new style. We went after it and he killed it! Very detailed-oriented and very in-tune to my thoughts, consistently pausing to make sure I was happy with the progress. After the cut, I got a great warm towel beard treatment with some oils and something - whatever it was made my wife actually want to touch my beard because it was so soft and smelled great. After the treatment he did a quick trim to my beard edges, mustache, and got rid of any crazy hairs running around. Ken also shared that he was a vet - served in the Navy for 20 some years. He went out on a limb and started this new business. Although I believe it's our duty to support those who have served our country regardless, Ken is so great at his craft and customer service that I'll be a customer for a very long time. Thanks to Ken and the whole crew at International Blades and Shears! read more

These guys are true professionals. They had some great reviews on Yelp so I decided to check them out. Thom cut my hair and he did a fantastic job and my cut was EXACTLY the way I wanted it. I haven't been excited about a hair cut in a very long time! The rest of the staff are really a relaxed and fun group of folks. I am definitely coming back here again and would highly recommend this barber shop to others. read more

You'll need an appointment more than likely but take the time and schedule . Thom cuts my hair every 3 weeks and it's on point every time . Frequently get asked where I get my hair cut due to the quality people see read more

We Came to International Blades & shears on a recommendation. We walked in with no appointment and met Rico and Thomas. We showed them a picture of how my daughter wanted her hair and cut and Rico said "it's my day off but I would hate for her to go somewhere and have them ruin this for her." He did an amazing job and only charged $12. It actually looks better than the picture we showed him to copy. read more

See all

Always a great cut and conversation. Ask for Thom! Best in town!

Just got the haircut and hot shave package, highly recommended. Forget old school barber shop, this place is the real deal. Ken and Alex do a great job. I will be back. read more

Great place to get a haircut. No longer is it a chore now getting a haircut is a relaxing experience with a cold beer included.

Need a new barber? This is the best place to get one. The atmosphere is what a barber shop should feel like. Everything from a cold beer to life and sports talk. Been coming here for a while and they haven't let me down. read more

Saw the reviews and decided to try it myself. Walked in with no appointment, and was taken immediately. Fantastic cut, nice place, Gerald did a great job. Definitely coming back! read more

Been coming here for a little over a year now. I've seen most of the guys that work here and they all have their own style but are equally amazing/talented. Laid back atmosphere, great conversation, and even better cuts. As a female I am extremely comfortable here and have established awesome relationships with these guys. Best barbershop in Jax! read more

Ken and company are great people and even better barbers. If you like to relax, have a cold beverage, and get a professional and sporty haircut, you have come to the right place. Try one of the local craft beers while watching netflix or starting up a conversation. This place makes you feel like you are at home. read more

There are few luxuries left for men like a hot towel shave on a Saturday morning. Great guys, great beer, great conversation and a great shave. Definitely recommended. read more

I've been getting cut here since they opened. I recommend making an appointment, but I'll pop in and see if anybody has an open chair. I would let anyone at this shop fade me up as they are all good to go! Cold beer, usually a game on TV, and some good shop talk is what his place is all about. read more

Harley has been my go-to guy for hair and beard trims for over a year. This is a great place with a truly professional crew. I couldn't imagine going elsewhere! read more

I've been looking for a legit Barbershop in Jacksonville for as long as I've been here (11 years) and I finally found it. Straight razor shaves, really good haircuts, guys bullshitting and cracking on each other AND they accept Debit and Credit. If you're looking for a real Barbershop this is your place. I have no affiliation with this place other than being a very satisfied customer. It's across the street from Mellow Mushroom Avondale...CHECK IT OUT! read more
