Great service and beautiful work. Was able to get same-day service. just call first because they don't work late!

I've been coming here to get my haircut since they opened. Justin used to cut my hair when he worked at another barbershop. It's a cool spot. They're always playing good music or watching something fun on tv. The conversation's always good too. Speed of service for my haircut is so fast. I'm in and out quick, and my haircut is always exactly how I like it. read more

I decided to try this barbershop today after seeing all the great reviews, but unfortunately my experience didn't match the ratings. I paid a premium price expecting a clean, professional fade, but the result was uneven and poorly blended. When I pointed out that one side didn't match the other, they tried to fix it but only touched up one side, leaving the other side still noticeably off. For a shop with such high reviews and prices to match, I expected way better attention to detail and consistency. The service wasn't rude, but the quality definitely didn't live up to the reputation. Sadly, I won't be returning. The barber who attended to me during this visit mentioned that he was the owner (photo of the fade is attached). read more

MidWest Barbery - The bad haircut - Barbers Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Been taking my kids here for haircuts. Recent visit disappointed. River market location no one greated when we walked in. Had appointment but 15 mins later still on one says anything to us. 25 mins later after scheduled appointment still not getting haircuts Terrible service. read more

Paul was the man! Great story, great vibes, and an immaculate cut. My man hooked me up with one of the freshest skin fades and touch ups I've had in a while. Had exactly what I had in mind, even with my thinner asian hair. Would highly recommend if you're here in a pinch for a conference or are looking for a consistent barber :) read more

Very cool barber shop. Everyone is incredibly nice. The vibe is chill and the merch is pretty sweet. Only here for the day and needed an emergency haircut. Pat took great care of me. He was very accommodating for my special requests and I had a great time talking. read more

Cheyenne was attentive, personable, professional ...she's the best! The atmosphere is inviting, the cost of a professional style is reasonably affordable. read more

MWB (Justin) is my bro's go to for cuts. I was visiting for the holiday and gave them a shot; I'm glad I did. MWB is the masculine, bricked out, hip barbershop you've been looking for. They even have a little bar set up. Yes, like many handsome men, I'm specific/particular about my fades. MWB delivered. Jakob was quick to warm up, spent about 35 minutes going over my fade, tightening it up, and even educated me on how to better cut my cow lick in the back. His hardware (quantity) was impressive! They STRONGLY recommend you make an appointment and from what I saw when I was there, you need to. All three chairs were full the entire time. read more

Easy to get to from RT bus. I didn't have a reservation so they could not accommodate me that day. But the establishment was inviting.

Requested a simple fade and even showed a picture so there would be no miscommunications. Paul did a horrible job and I will not be going back ! read more

Been taking my son here for almost 2 years! Haircut comes out great every single time! We switch barbers there often and have not had one problem. The atmosphere is fun and super relaxing. Parking can be tough sometimes but it usually isn't too far of a walk from parking spots. read more

They are extremely professional. The ambiance in their shop. They are good at cutting hair. I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place at their shop read more

It was my first time, and while I did get a good cut, I did not like the customer service of Justin. Made appoint and did not realize the NFL Draft was going on. It would have been a plus to have had a phone call or text to say hey, it is pretty crowded down here, so you may want to come early. I was late, and I did call to indicate I was late going to be. I showed up late 15 mins, and Justin, it was too late. I have the next appointment coming soon and can't do it. Not that I am sorry or anything, or push his next appointment off to one of the other people. Just said asked one of the others if they could do it as a walk-in, which I was not. Doubt I will be back when the owner comes off with an attitude. I am not was not rude, but he seemed to have disdain for me for being late for circumstances beyond my control. read more

Local barber in the heart of Downtown Kansas City, MO. It's also street car accessible. Please is very clean, welcoming and professional. While customers wait: customers can relax in a comfy leather couch, watch tv or play on the foosball table. Second, you can book your haircut appointment online with your preferred barber. Finally, their haircuts are excellent leaving you fresh and clean as you walk out the door. I'm glad I found this place and have made this my official place to get my haircut. read more

Such a cool atmosphere with talented, personable people. Especially loved how they named all their plants. Pat did an awesome job. read more

MidWest Barbery - Atmosphere - Barbers Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Barber was cool, haircut was not. Also, paid for haircut and beard trim, and I only got haircut. (Which wasn't good)

I came in with a horrible cut I got the day before that seemed unfixable. But I walked in and they got me in right away. They couldn't believe the way the former barber cut my hair. Emily fixed it better than I could have hoped for. I just moved to the KC area and I found my go to place. read more

I've had my hair cut by Midwest Barbery before and, while expensive, they've always done a good job. However, I must sadly declare their customer service to be poop. Today I made a reservation through Google assistant and was texted with a confirmation shortly thereafter, I was also emailed reminders of my appointment a couple of times throughout the day. Unfortunately no one bothered to text or email me that my appointment had been canceled because the stylist was out for the day. They had seven hours between the time I made my appointment and the time of the appointment. Seven. Hours. Please, Midwest Barbery, if I'm going to be paying $40 for a haircut, show me a little consideration! And that's not all. The reason I used Google Assistant was because when I tried to make a reservation on their website I was mandated to declare what my tip was going to be for my upcoming haircut. The options were 15%, 20%, 25% and custom. Unfortunately, "Custom" would not accept 0 and the reservation could not be made until that field was filled out. I am a habitually good tipper but the idea of being strong armed into declaring the gratuity before services are even rendered really irked me off and certainly made my irritation over my stealthily cancelled appointment much stronger than it otherwise would have been. Shame on you, Midwest Barbery. In short, if you want to drop 40 dollars + mandatory gratuity to be treated like you're forgettable and disposable, may I suggest Midwest Barbery. Good luck, because I shan't be seeing you there. read more

Wow, great vibes from the first moment you walk in the door. I called day of to get my boss a cut before some headshots the next day and they were able to fit him in. Justin did the cut, looked great and I cant wait to see how the headshots turn out. Justin was super friendly and offered some local spots in town to check out. The rest of the staff was super friendly as well! Felt like a family in there. If I lived in the area, I would highly recommend and come back even to kick it with the crew. Also did I mention they have pac man machine? SOLD, GO HERE read more

I have been going to MWB off and on for over two years. As a guy you expect to get a haircut and then look "normal" a few days later. The day of my haircut Emily had me looking exactly how I wanted to be looking. Never left a review for anything but 100% recommend. read more

I haven't had a barber that I've trusted with my hair for so long, I kept going from one place to the next searching for someone that could accommodate to my challenging head of hair. Paola Bri was amazing! She was extremely kind and constantly checked in to make sure we were on the same page. After the cut she recommended some hair product and it's probably been one of the best products to take my hair. I'll definitely be going back, I'm extremely happy with how my cut turned out read more

Friendly and seem to do good work but totally unappreciative of customers situational needs and even refused to do a simple trimming of neckline for me. It would've taken them 30 seconds of his day and I would've paid double the price of a full cut since I am about to visit a lifelong friend that I haven't seen in 10 years and I drove from California. Yet he says he had no time. Granted it does say appointment only. But hey... If we can't be there for eachother in this life... Then what is this world coming too. I wish for all of their success in business and life and perhaps he will be there for the next patron to walk through the door in need of the smallest gesture of kindness that would've made a world of difference in my life. God Bless. read more

Great service- great work. Matt does a good job and is usually on schedule which I appreciate very much.

My gf and I were walk-ins and they were able to take us pretty quickly. We weren't made to feel weird about being two queer women with short hair at a barber (it actually happens a lot!). My gf had her hair cut by Lyla and Alicia did mine. Both were great barbers and did a great job, my hair looks seriously awesome! Also, this place has a lil corner of drinks to have while you wait. It's a nice touch at an already really cool establishment. read more

I was in a bind and needed to get my beard cleaned up and head shaved for a special occasion. Made an appointment with the talented Mr. Lemos and abracadabra I got all cleaned up like new money! Was my First time in his new shop and was impressed with how nice it was and the location. Definitely worth the visit and I will definitely be back for another touch up. read more

Love Midwest Barbery. Justin is the proprietor and great guy, my first several haircuts were w Justin and were wonderful. Couldn't get a slot w Justin, so I jumped to Alicia and she is so great - I have stuck w her for many cuts and very satisfied. She is a gem. read more

Absolutely great barber shop! We brought out 3 year old grandson for his second haircut and they were patient and caring and it was an absolute delight. Of course our grandson was perfect, but the barber really made him feel comfortable and the cut came out just as we had asked. Thank you very much read more

The staffs friendly. The barber was very informative. One of the best barbers I been to. I'll definitely be back.

Nice establishment, for the most part, good people. My hair was cut by Alicia and it definitely could have been a better experience. I asked her to tidy up my long hair, which was around 8 to 9 inches long at this point and I wanted to keep it long. She cuts it initially, but, the sides didn't match the top length, so she cut the sides. Then the top length didn't match the side length, so she cut the top. Then once more the sides didn't match the top so she cut the sides. And, you guessed it, the top didn't match the sides. Each time she asked me if it looked alright. I said it's fine each time. Then she would say "are you sure," then I would point out the OBVIOUS problem each time. She ended up cutting off around 4-5 inches of my hair. I have gotten many bad haircuts in my day so I didn't really mind. A good haircut is rare, I've only had one. I went home and tried to style it in any way. It looked like a cut that 40-year-old women get when they want to change things up. I could not fix that for the life of me. So I ended up calling and getting a recut, which they accommodated. That is the only reason why this is not a 1-star review. During the recut, I asked for a generic fade, something easy so she couldn't mess it up (still Alicia). Before the cut, she asked what was wrong with my hair and I told her. She said it was because I was indecisive... indecisive. It wasn't indecisiveness, you just kept making egregious mistakes and asking if "it looks alright." She didn't take any fault in the worst haircut I have ever received. The end result of the recut was just fine. Not great, just on the brink of being good. The problem with the recut is she speed ran the haircut and got hair all over my face and clothes. It was as if she was getting revenge for wasting her precious time. The other hairstylists seemed nice and people would walk out and their hair looked good. I can't speak for the entire establishment, just for my own experience. I will not be returning. read more

Jake is the man! Beautiful relaxed place in downtown Kansas , I was more than satisfied with my haircut , jake engages with his customers and ensures they leave happy. Ask him about his gaming channel too read more

Recently got a haircut from Alicia. I told her exactly what I wanted and did a good job. I'm not a local and found this shop on yelp so parking can be tricky. I really like how your able to make appointments online. Keep up the good work Alicia. read more

Best barber in the city 12/10 recommend. Always friendly, every barber is top of their game. Definitely make an appointment days in advance but they're always worth the wait read more

The one and only shop in KC I trust to maintain my beard. Ask for the owner, Justin.

They're great. Went there today for a teach dads how to do hair event. What a great idea! The staff are all pros and will be back

Solid. 00 buzz cut, a little somethin to sip on and good recs for 20 plus tip. Would come again

FINALLY there is a place that "gets it" obviously most of us don't use our fathers/grandfathers barber shop, or the 10 dollar haircuts a chains. At the same time no one wants to go to any of these new, "hipster" if you will barber shops where the dude cutting your hair is looking at his own in the mirror than he is yours! thats where Midwest Barbery comes in... just genuine, straight forward, good people, who can't to give you a great haircut. Sounds simple but no one is doing it like these guys. Very professional staff but at the same time I felt as if I was getting a cut at a friends house, just a super comfortable setting. I genuinely laughed, smiled and enjoyed myself. by the time my barber Emily (who was wonderful) asked me how everything looked I didnt even care because I had genuinely enjoyed myself which you will rarely hear a man say about a haircut. go support this local business, get yourself a great haircut, a smile, and maybe a couple laughs, and then you have the heart of Kansas City right outside to explore when you are done. dont Forget right by the street car! read more

Owner is super nice as well as the other lady, but my haircut was not good. This truly is a barber shop and not a salon. It takes me back to when I was 10 and had a low budget barber shop cut for 7.00 once a month. It's definitely not a place for those who want a fresh, trendy haircut. read more

Crazy haircuts. When you walk in, you instantly get the welcoming vibe. Extremely friendly and just great in general!!!
