I just read these reviews and the negative ones have to be people who are trying to get Wayne to quit because he has such faithful customers. He has done hair forever and still does an amazing job! He also offers haircuts at a lower rate which makes competing barbers mad. He makes all his customers feel welcome and engaged. He is a big talker and knowledgeable about many topics. He is the epitome of a "local" if you want to know anything about Gulf Shores' history he can tell you all about it. My husband, son, and I enjoy every visit to this gentleman's shop. read more

From the moment I opened the door it was a great experience. Will most definitely be going back. Great haircut and beard cut.

No longer in business and he was a good barber, especially for the snowbirds. Wish we could find another like him

Today, January 23, 2026 my husband received the BEST haircut by Wayne. Was the best cut he has ever received as a snowbird in Gulf Shores!! Unbelievable that he only charges $12.00. GREAT PLACE!! read more

My husband went here for the first time yesterday. First, it is no longer Wayne's Barber Shop. There is a new name over the door, Leila's something or other. The female barber must not understand English or pictures. There was a poster on her wall with a variety of haircut styles. He clearly pointed out two of them. She completely ignored his request and proceeded to cut his hair MUCH shorter than requested. She nearly shaved his entire head. He says he will not need another cut until Valentines Day! AND she charged $25!!!! What a joke. read more

A great place to get a BAD haircut. My cousin and I stopped into Wayne's for what we thought would be a trim, but what turned into the worst haircuts we've ever received. Wayne, a geriatric fellow, was a pleasant man to talk to, but he may need to see an optometrist. That or he may be losing it. The sides of my cousins head were two different lengths and he left patches of long hair throughout that strongly resembled crab grass. The woman that cut my hair was also very friendly. I don't remember her name, but her hair and make-up looked like she was still living in the 80's. All I wanted was my sides trimmed and a taper. This was apparently a tall order with the finished product I received. Both sides of my head were faded at different heights with there were obvious lines. She only tapered parts of my hair, leaving other parts long. I don't know if she listened to anything I wanted done. For example, she asked, "do you want your side burns even?" Thinking that meant making sure they are the same length I told her I did. Apparently "even" means take them off... On top of that when I asked her to fix it she couldn't. Don't be tempted by there inexpensive rate. You'll get what you pay for, maybe less. Also, you'll be paying more when you have to go somewhere else to fix what they hack off. read more

Wayne's Barber Shop - The right side look a little longer to you? - Barbers Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

This is the best place in town to get a hair cut. A place that brings you back in time. The original barber shop in Gulf Shores. Going on 50 years of business. This is the only town I have personally lived in where competitors make up bad reviews to hurt businesses. I have seen it here and with some of the restaurants. I wish others could gain business the old fashioned way like Wayne has. I bet they won't be around in 10 years much less 50. read more

I have known Wayne since my wife and i moved here over 17 years ago. Wayne has been at that location for 60 years now. He is the most professional person i have ever met. He is like a brother to me and I am truly blessed to have the privilege of knowing him. I always look forward to seeing him every two weeks. If you get a chance to go by and meet Wayne it will be one the best experiences you have ever had, as well as the best haircut. So take time to go and see Wayne and Stan (Stan is seasonal). You will be glad you did. read more

Drove out Monday for haircut. Website said open. Nope closed on Mondays. After reading reviews I would recommend new shop gentleman quarters at 2104 E. 2nd street. Very good cut and no Racism . read more

Talk about a good old fashioned barber shop! The whole environment is just old timey and very fun and the main barber is the funniest and the best I've been too in a very long time!! I would so recommend him! Especially if you love old fashion! read more

Been getting my haircut here (when we are in Gulf Shores) for the past 10 years. Always well cut and no hassles at a fair price. Also, great conversation! read more

The doofus who posted the selfie is as wrong as wrong can be. Wayne the Barber has been cutting my hair for many years, and always cuts it exactly like I tell him to, which varies depending on my mood. This barber shop is FULL a great deal of the time, mostly with repeat customers, which belies the review of said doofus. Wayne is neither geriatric nor losing it, and he doesn't charge enough, so I always add a generous tip. Edit No. 1: Since posting this I have talked to Wayne and he says the doofus-selfie reviewer is a shill for the owner of a competing barber shop just down the street who Wayne taught how to cut hair and who quit Wayne's shop owing Wayne money. The lady barber he also insulted is Wayne's daughter. Oh, and by the way, that would be "...their inexpensive rate ...", not "...there inexpensive rate ...". read more

I got a good haircut and Wayne and the lady working there were nice and friendly and heard zero racist remarks whatsoever. I am new to the area and will be a repeat customer for sure. read more

My husband needed a cut, he got one but will never return. Apparently the conversation was highly racial and it angered him. BTW. we are both Caucasian read more

Steven, in the first post.......... You should have started your rant with "I am an idiot because I left a barber shop after paying for this haircut...". Your description of the woman, however, is spot on. Her makeup is a horrible mask, and nothing intelligent ever comes out of her mouth. And she takes forever to give a crappy haircut. Wayne makes horrible and vile racist comments all the time, and has no filter or care who is in his shop or whom he offends with his stupidity and ridiculous rants. Lisa's comment comes as no surprise. He also has a low opinion of women, and will make disgusting comments about them, as well. Wayne is loud and obnoxious and how no one has taken him down a few notches for his offensive words and behavior will remain a mystery. And his haircuts are below average. If you need an excellent haircut and decent conversation and like to be treated right, Steve is the one for you. I got the sense that Wayne is jealous of him? How Steve stands in that barbershop in the middle of those wackos is also a mystery. But he'll treat you right. I always leave very pleased and my wife says I look great when I get home. If she's happy, I'm happy. read more

Showed up today at 2 o'clock. That racist wasn't even there... The thing that pissed me off the most was the fact that there wasn't even a duck theme. I will not be going back unless he adopts a duck theme. read more
