Customer for 3 years. Nice environment and the stylist I see, Holie, does a great job. She knows when I visited last time and what personal style I have come to expect. She listened to what I wanted and makes sure I get it. read more

James cut my hair this time and he did a great job. I love going here and it's very clean and comfortable. This is the only place in town I will go to get a haircut. read more

Great place. Very friendly and attention to detail. One of the best haircut in a long time.

I have 3 boys, and have been getting their haircut for 6 years now. They always get a fade, and we wanted to try out Barbary Shoppe because it looked cool and we are new to the area. They have a "fade" listed as a more expensive haircut for boys, so that made me think they REALLY know how to do a fade, right? Wrong. They not only failed to give my children a fade (and charged us more for it), but I had to make another hair appt to fix 1 of the 3 boys' hair because it was SO BAD. On top of that I had to pay the most money I've ever paid to get them a haircut. They refused to make the hard part that you MUST do for a good fade, and they clearly had no clue what they were doing. Come here if you like your typical, traditional, vanilla haircut. If you are looking for any kind of fresh/hip haircut for kids, go elsewhere. read more

Went for a shave and premium haircut, very disappointed. The haircut was good but I had to endure an hour of interrogations from some young guy that was killing to give me a fade. Quite irritating and not a master Barber for the Money I paid. Essentially it's one big gimmick to sell overpriced ghetto haircuts. I'll never go again. I'm better off going to an Aveda salon and getting my cut with a nice lady instead. read more

Very happy to discover this place after many disappointing haircuts at other local unisex "hair cutlery"-type establishments. My haircut was $19, a basic trim, and the barber mostly used scissors. The shop is clean, and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Alright so I forced my boyfriend to get a haircut right before my niece's because it was looking a bit too shabby for me and I didn't want my family to see his crazy hair. I really thought they would do a fabulous job because there were a lot of people in the shop, either paying or waiting. Unfortunately, my boyfriend ended up with a Bart Simpson haircut... sharp corners and spiky hair. I agree with the other reviews that said that they didn't do it even either...it wasn't horrible but just not what I was expecting for a nice place like this. read more

JD Barbary Shoppe - Barbers Near Me - Lakewood Ranch, Florida

Great place to get a cut. Their basic cut is the best value, and still is a little pricey. I wish my income was better to afford more frequent cuts here, the ambiance and staff are worth it. read more

Its a nice place and the services offered are exceptional. They use high end old world products and the staff is quite nice. Cost is an issue here though. Compared to other places with similar services, Barbary Shoppe is almost double in some instances. I would like to see some sort of membership service. $50 or $70 per month gets you cuts, shaves and/or shoe shines. Similar to other upscale barbers like Jon Allen and others. In the end, I might go back, but paying almost $30 for a barber cut is not something I will go out of my way to go to. read more

Had my first haircut here today and it won't be my last! I had a 3:10 appointment , walked in about 5 minutes early and was immediately taken care of by Bernadette. The Gentlemen's Signature Haircut was wonderful. I left there feeling pampered and upset.Not upset with Barbary Shoppe but with my shop in Maryland. They charge me the same amount but without all the frills I got today! Thanks Bernadette. Appreciate the pampered experience Tim Holt read more

I think they need to review the protocals for opening. Barber next to me not wearing a mask or his client. No disposal cover drapes. Hope they are cleaning well. However got a great haircut read more

I've been getting my haircut here for 2 years now by Nick, nick is awesome and is the best barber I've ever had. Always cuts a clean fade never any problems with Nick, he's my man. But I do have a problem every single time I come in. I ALWAYS wait 15 mins after my set appointment, I left work early today to get to my appointment early, only to be told that I have to wait another 20 minutes, I walk out and tell the receptionist goodbye and she's asks if I'm going to get a drink. No I'm going to Get my haircut elsewhere, probably modern gents. Like I said, Nick is the Cats ass and will treat you right. read more

Old school service with modern barber luxe style. This place is for the new Don Drapers of the world.

I was down in Sarasota on business recently, and had a couple of hours to kill and needed a trim. I found the Barbary Shoppe, and thought it would be great. I loved the concept and everybody was very friendly. However, the haircut I received was probably the worst I have ever had. At the end of the cut it seemed ok, it's quite dimly lit in there and it appeared like just an average cut, not amazing but ok, and I was in a hurry to get to a meeting so I left feeling like it was a little neater than before. Over the next couple of days I noticed a few patches of hair that were significantly longer than other patches, and when had dinner with my wife next, she commented on how uneven the front of my hair looked. And it wasn't just the front, one side was also very uneven and looked more like it had been chewed short by a wild animal more than cut by a professional barber! Within a few days I had it re-cut, and the hairdresser commented that the person who cut it before needs to go back to school, or stop cutting hair. I'm sure other employees at Barbary Shoppe are ok, but the lady I had (black haired lady from New Jersey) simply should not be cutting hair. I feel bad 'snitching' on someone like this but she is making peoples lives more difficult by providing such a low level of quality. She should seriously not cut another persons hair until she goes back to school for it. read more

This barber shop is without a doubt the finest establishment for hair cutting I have ever been to. For about years now, I've regularly come here for my hair cuts and absolutely love it. In fact, I make trips from my university to this shop when I need a cut rather than going to other place when possible. The atmosphere is great, and feels vintage but with the right amount of modernity. I highly recommend! read more

Setup an appointment in advance for 3pm. Arrived early at 2:40 only to wait until after 315 without ever getting haircut. What is the point of setting up an appointment, if it's not honored? read more

I think if I could give 0 stars I would. The guy who cut my son's hair did not listen to how he wanted his hair cut and used offensive language through this visit. He cut his hair much shorter despite my son stating he wanted it left longer. Never again. If a barber cannot listen to their client and uses disrespectful and unprofessional language they should not be practicing-- at any cost let alone the price of this place. read more

This is a great barber shop in a great location. I've been getting my hair cut here for almost 5 years now and they have never done me wrong. They are usually pretty busy so I would recommend calling and scheduling an appointment before so you don't get stuck waiting for too long. They have all the amenities of a great barber shop, you can get a shave, hot towel, and a great haircut. read more

Love this place! Everything about it is top notch, environment, reception! family owned and operated. They also carry cigars and offer free beverages while you wait. I won't lie it isn't me that gets my haircut here it is my BF and we are faithful to Bernadette Mattei I trust her completely ...she does an amazing job!! They also provide hot shave services. We have been back repeatedly and will continue to do so. read more

Real barbers here. Very satisfied customer for 4 years. Your satisfaction depends on which barber you get. I've tried 3 different barbers and clicked with two of them. They are the only ones who cut my hair. I only make appointments when they are available. But then getting a hair cut is such an individual experience. Some guys with very short hair might not need a barber who is a master at medium length hair. I like the place, it's pricey but I am always pleased. Paying a little more guarantees me that I am not walking around town with a cheap looking hair cut until the hair grows back. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY Basically a dressed up super cuts. All they want to do is get you in and out. The shop itself is pretty nice and looks like a traditional barbershop. BUT, the barber who cut my hair finished in 16 minutes and clearly didnt know what a medium fade is. This place is a joke. My recommendation: JustGents 126 N Orange much better shop, more personable people, and a nicer cut. A little more expensive but if this place charges $20 id pay $50 for a cut a JustGents read more

Great place going there for years. Class act.

I'm new to Lakewood Ranch and tried the Barbary Shoppe. Stay away , I got totally butchered. While in the chair its difficult to see the haircut as the chair is far from the mirror. When I got into my car, I took a close look, I was horrified by what I saw. I went back into the shop to try and get some of it fixed but it was mostly too late. You are probably better off at one of the chains. I will never return. I have no confidence with the ownership for putting an obviously untrained barber in the shop, Adding to the bad experience is that the barber would not shut up and never stopped talking about himself for the entire time, read more

Outstanding service and price is comparable to the nation wide chain competitor down the street. Friendly atmosphere and great location. I'll be back. read more

Very disappointed! My person did not listen to me and just cut whatever they wanted off. Hot neck shave was cold. Overpriced....I will not be going back. read more

Terrible. A complete scam. A shady effort to seem like an upscale barber shop when really they're just a mall haircuttery at twice the price. Actually they're worse than that. I've been 3 times -- I'm local so I had high hopes -- and they overcharged me (ie charging me for services never delivered) EVERY SINGLE TIME. I tried 3 different stylists to give the place a chance. Nope, same experience every time. Mediocre haircut. Overcharging every time. Since I cannot logically be overcharged 3 times by 3 different stylists -- figure out the odds of that -- it's evident that we have an organized scam here. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I visit Bradenton 3 or 4 times per year and I always make sure I schedule a haircut here. That May change.I just received what has to be the worst haircut I ever had. I'm an older guy with fine thinning hair. I have always been told never allow clippers on your hair, only scissors. Well, without asking my preference, I had clippers going up and down the back of my head. I had no idea he was going to do that-he started behind me. It was already too late to say anything and kept buzzing me all the way around. I sat there and fumed. The result was disastrous. My hair was sticking straight out in the back and was totally uneven everywhere else. This same guy has done a decent job in the past. LOSE the CLIPPERS except for those who wish short cropped hair. Finally, I usually go for the full service. I didn't this time because this same barber chose not to do the back massage last time and raced through the other steps. Note to owner. If you are going to provide and charge for premium service, make sure your employees provide it like it was their first one. I gave 2 stars only because I know they could do better! but this haircut was a zero. read more

I have tried two of the "Master Barbers" with similar results; they are no better, and in one case, much worse than others in the area who charge half as much for a haircut. Ambiance in nice but unless you just want to throw your money away, I would go somewhere else. read more

Love this place! I am always careful about trying out a new barber shop, especially if I am going to have to work soon, no time to regrow any missing hair or body parts.... But Bernie is fantastic! She never has to ask what I need done, is generally ready early for my appointments, and hasn't cut my head off with that straight razor. Funny story tho, I had fallen asleep during one of my hot towel shaves, and I woke up as she was taking the towel off my face. Turns out the area had lost power, and she finished my straight razor shave in the dim light coming from the glass front! Impressive right? Anyway, the staff from the front desk to the back door are always great. Grab a bottle of water if by the off chance you ever had to wait more than 30 seconds in the reception area.. you can even pick out a decent cigar and carry it over to MacAllisters across the street (they have a scotch to match any haircut and every cigar :) read more
