The barbershop experience I've been looking for. After trying out several different shops around the city, I think I've finally found my go-to. The vibe is old school but chill. A rather intimate shop with a downtown street view, plenty of cool decor. Ellie cut my hair and did a very good job, patiently giving me suggestions on my particular situation (textured crew cut for thinning AND receding hair). I walked out of there looking great and feeling great! Both her, John the owner, and even the other men getting their cuts provided great conversation and restaurant recommendations. The cut was $35, plus $20 for a little canister of Upper Cut styling powder. At the nexus of cost, service, vibe, and location, this place is solid. read more

First time going to a real barbershop. All my life had been getting free haircuts from family members. I was a little nervous and didn't know what to expect. But I was immediately greeted by smiling and happy faces. Elie, my barber did a terrific job. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. I would definitely go to this place again and I would recommend it to anybody else in the Milwaukee area. read more

Kate's the best! I'm very particular about my haircut and beard trim, but I was looking pretty shaggy. 20 minutes later I was a happy man. Very cool barbers and patrons. read more

I was a first time customer and took an appointment that was convenient for me. It is a 4 chair shop and my appt was with a fairly new barber 3 months on the job. She was a little curt and started cutting my hair and asked is that the right length. I couldn't tell based on the small area she cut, and said so. She said she only had scheduled one hair cit not two, so if I wanted more cut after she finished that would be a problem. I trusted her and wound up with a very short haircut. Not what I wanted. But hair will grow back. I probably won't go back to same barber. read more

Came in as a walk-in, so I had a few minutes wait. Very friendly and accommodating. One of the best haircuts that I've had in years. Very comfortable atmosphere and good conversation during service. read more

Amazing haircut! Kelly did an awesome job and was super nice to talk to. Definitely understood what I wanted. Highly recommend!

Great vibe. Friendly staff. I was very happy with the haircut and beard trip. My barber even gave me the BEST recommendation for lunch nearby. I'll return to Milwaukee just to get my haircut again. read more

Haircut, magazine options, and conversation was all absolutely fantastic here. I took my boyfriend for a haircut that wasn't $8 for the first time today and, believe it or not, a more expensive cut is worth it! He enjoyed himself and his barber was very charismatic and engaged with both of us. Super nice guy and so personable as well. Prices were very reasonable as well! Pic of funny magazine article found in the shop! Some really ridiculous and entertaining pieces in there besides even this one read more

I had my first appointment with Kate today. She was great! The haircut was perfect, just the way I like it. Plus she was friendly and personable, a real delight to talk to. I'll be back for sure! read more

Made a 2 pm appointment but was running slightly behind so I called and said I'd be a few minutes late. Guy said no problem. Showed up at 2:09pm - sat and waited 3 minutes. Kate, barber appears with came in and said I was too late. She complained that had to leave to pick up her child. She said after 15 minutes they auto-cancel. It was 2:12. I looked at the guy who took the call and he shrugged it off. Another barber was finishing someone else's hair and I asked if anyone was going to be able to help but nothing but plank stares. Was basically walked out. Totally disappointed. Worst humiliating experience ever. Good luck with that service. read more

Great barbershop. I frequent Kelly who always takes the extra step to have good conversation and make sure I'm happy with my cut/beard trim. She's even been able to squeeze me in before a few last minute business trips. All the barbers are very personable and always super nice. Great prices too!!! read more

Terrific barber shop in downtown Milwaukee. This place is new but has an old-school barber shop feel, complete with old photos all over the wall. Great cuts, good conversation, and a comfortable spot to get a great style. I recommend Kate, but friends go to Jont and Kelly and rave as much as I do. Tailored cuts are $30; buzz cuts are $20. This may change after the pandemic, but for now cuts are by appointment only--no walk-ins. read more

It's taken me far too long to get around to writing my review for this awesome shop but I finally remembered and made time to leave this shop the 5-star rating it deserves. Fist of all Jont is amazing! He goes above and beyond for his clients and did so for me as well. I don't want to go into detail about what he did for me because I don't want too many clients and potential clients to ask for the same treatment but if you're reading this, Jont, thank you so much for being so accommodating! Most importantly, he gave me a great haircut. Flew in from LA to Milwaukee and didn't have the time to get a haircut prior, so it was such a relief that I could get a great haircut away from my usual barbers. I asked for a skin to high fade and my wish was granted with little direction. Lastly, Jont has built a beautiful, clean, and welcoming shop. I'll be visiting the area again in April and cannot wait to get my second haircut here.... oh and also see the Dodgers beat the Brewers again =]. read more

Milwaukee St Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

See all

Solid haircut with an interesting decor. Decent price. Nothing too special just a solid haircut.

I came in for a last minute appointment. I was in town for work and needed to find a barber due to a last minute appointment cancellation back home that was unavoidable. Kelly was fantastic. I was actually happier with her work than I could have imagined for a first time visit. Highly recommend! read more

I've been in town for a couple weeks and wasn't sure where to get a haircut, so I looked for the best reviews of local barber shops and came across Kelly. Kelly was highly recommended and she did not disappoint!!! My haircut looks great and was faded exactly as requested. We had a great conversation and she gave us great recommendations of local spots to visit and restaurants to eat at. Will be booking her again as soon as I need another cut. read more

Yes, this is a REAL barbershop! Don't be fooled by salons that cater to men. Jont is an old pro, and Kate and the others are trained barbers, too. I have a straightforward hairstyle (a slightly modern take on the standard business cut) and won't risk those chain places but also don't want to pay $40 for a beer and cable TV. I just want a good, affordable haircut! Plus, I'm busy and don't have time to walk in and wait around like many barbers require. Making an appointment is simple via their website which will send you lots of reminders (critical for me!). Jont is obsessed with customer service (he's old school that way), and the others share his commitment to professionalism. The shop is clean and comfortable. Pay in a flash using cash or credit (not always the case with barbers), and you're out in less than an hour. Make the switch. You'll be glad you did! read more

I heard about milwaukee street barbershop a year ago, I have to say that the treatment and level of professionalism is fantastic, 10 times cleaner than other barbershops, they cut hair exactly how you want it, I recommend an appointment if you don't like to wait 10-15 min. After I found this barbershop, I have not looked for a new one since. Sharp cuts! Keep up the good work read more

After trying a few different barbershops and salons downtown and being disappointed with their results, I stumbled upon Milwaukee Street Barber Shop and haven't looked back. Jont is a fantastic barber. He got me the look I wanted with just a quick glance at a reference photo. He's professional, friendly and cares about making you look your best. If you want to look forward to your haircut instead of dreading it, check out Milwaukee Street Barber Shop. read more

Moved to Milwaukee in 2019 and got a bad haircut elsewhere in town so I took to Yelp and found Milwaukee Street Barbershop. My first haircut was with Jont and it was amazing one of the best haircuts I've had. Jont is an amazing barber but has a huge fan base so you need to schedule with him far in advance. In need of a haircut I saw Kate had availability's and decided to give her a try and she has become my go-to barber. I have booked with her 2-3 times and have gotten the best haircuts of my life. I have also heard from some friends I have referred to Milwaukee Street that Kelly is awesome too. This is has become my spot and I will never go anywhere else for a haircut again. read more

Been coming here for a few months, and I'm so happy I found Tia. I had a similar hair/beard for years. But, Tia knew what I wanted before I did. I was really happy with her ideas, she really knows what she's doing. Great conversation, very neat and calming atmosphere; if you're familiar with ASMR, you should definitely try this place out. Ps: Make sure to book an appointment, they are very busy. read more

came In and asked for a low fade, and the lady asked ME where i start my low fades as if IM the barber. Also, I told her to take an inch off the top (and my longest strand of hair went past my nose) and I damn near have a buzz cut now. I'm usually proud of my hair but im gonna be wearing hats every day until my next haircut! Don't come here if you want a high quality haircut read more

I just walk inn but I like the service especially Mexican woman she speak spanish that is better for me but nothing complain about my haircut, nice barber shop read more

Talk about a great experience and a terrific beard trim. I am new to the area and I was trying to find my new barbershop. After doing some research, I found this hidden gem in my neighborhood. I would recommend calling ahead for an appointment because it seems like he has a good customer base. As soon as I sat down he asked what I was going for and want to do with my beard. I explained to him and he started on both sides with an electric razor. The first time I thought it was too long still, so I redid both sides. Then he shaped the front as well, and my upper lip area. During the time we talked about Milwaukee, the military and what not. He is a pretty good conversationalist which is one of the qualities I like in my barber. After he finished with my beard he laid me back and gave my a clean razor shave on my neck. Nothing is better than a clean razor shave. All in all, I was impressed and this will be my new barber. Sidenote: It was $15.00 for the beard trim but he give military, veterans and policemen a $5.00 discount for our service. I really appreciate places that take care of those who keep us safe. What guy and great place. read more

In town for just a couple days and happened to stumble upon this spot. Great haircut, great conversation and both Kate and Jont gave me some great food and drink suggestions for my stay. Thanks again guys! read more

Both Jont and Tia at Milwaukee Street Barber Shop are just great. I live nearby, but I don't just go there out of convenience. They truly do a top notch job everytime and are the friendliest people taboot. read more

Jont is the best barber I have ever found in Wisconsin. He pays very close detail to your grooming needs and is very friendly. I love that this barbershop uses straight razors to really give a clean finish. Even though I live 2 hours north, I try to schedule my haircuts for when I will be in Milwaukee. When I was married in the third ward, I made sure that my best man and brother-in-law got a haircut here so we would all look our best. They are also very technology savvy and will send email and text confirmations as well as reminders (you can opt out, but I really needed it to remind me to be on time) and are very accommodating if you need to reschedule. Do not pass up the opportunity to look your best. read more

Just came up to Milwaukee for the weekend and stopped in to see if I could get a haircut. The owner Junt said come back in an hour and he would fit me in. Junt is the true definition of a barber, the cut was great the neck shave a nice surprise, and an overall great experience. If you live or work in Milwaukee you need to come see this guy. I will definitely come back next time I am in town, even if I don't need a haircut! read more

Tiny (I think that was her name) did an amazing walk-in cut. Tried calling a few times to check availability, but no one answered, maybe a fluke. Showed up anyway, and glad I did. She asked what I wanted, and gave me exactly that. Great cut, easy to style, and cool gal. Go here! read more

Looking good is important to me, so before I found Jont at the Milwaukee St. Barber shop, I acted counter character and spent $50 for some supposedly "fancy" haircut. It was good, but wasn't exactly what I wanted, and was outrageously priced for a man's haircut. That is when I found Jont. Jont listens to what I want for my hair cut, and gives me the perfect cut every time. He is fast and efficient, yet will spend all the time you need to get the perfect cut, and leaves me feeling sharp. I receive countless complements on every hair cut I get, and it grows out so well that if I wanted, I could go half the year without coming back. Nonetheless, the great conversation, and fresh look brings me back every month or so. 5/5 - I selfishly hope Jont never leaves Milwaukee read more

Frankie is the best barber in Milwaukee. I followed her over from Brady street. Go see her

I went in and got a haircut today by Jont. Hair looks great and I was overly impressed by his ability to communicate with me about my haircut so my high expectations were met. I would highly recommend going and seeing him for yourself. read more

I am in town for a wedding and just flew in from NYC. I pay $45 for an undercut in Brooklyn and have never had a better hair cut than what I just got here at Milwaukee Barber Shop. I highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

Five stars all the way. Great hair cut. Great attention to detail. Great atmosphere and vibe. Jont really cares about his profession and his clients. I once watched Jont interrupt my haircut for 30 seconds to assist the previous client - an elderly gentleman - who he helped get his coat on and then opened the door for him. All class. I'm on my ~28th haircut and will continue to go. read more

My new go to barbershop! Jont's experience is really seen through his cuts. Highly recommended!

I recently booked at Milwaukee Street Barbers and had Tia cut my hair. She took her time and did a great job! A real barber shop vibe with current technology. I just booked all my haircuts through April on their website! Love it! read more
