An amazing barber shop. Remember to bring CASH with you. The barber is really friendly.
Had my first trip there the other day. Lived around this establishment a long time I never noticed it. The barber mr. Johnson. I cant remember his first name was awesome. Got to talk to a few people while I was waiting to get my haircut and would been regulars of his for a long time. The memorabilia in that Barbershop is incredible and so is the barber!
Let me just tell you right now you wont find a better barbershop in Columbus, Ohio, or anywhere else in this great union of ours. I went in and immediately was greeted and felt extremely welcome even though I was new. The owner is a grade A guy, kind, caring, professional, and humble. This felt more like a community experience than a haircut. I left with a smile on my face and it really made my day. The haircut is awesome he did a great job, and on top of that he did it for half the price of any barbershop I have ever been to.
Otis is a great barber and provides a great haircut.
Nicest old fashioned barber Ive ever been too, great attention to detail no hurry just a good haircut .
Best shop in cental OH. Fantastic.
Otis is a real barber who does a great haircut and uses a razor. $12.
Down home barber shop, like they used to be. Otis will introduce you to everyone thats there, treats you like a friend. Reasonably priced, quality hair cuts.
I moved down to Columbus and was looking for a new barber. Otis had great reviews so I tried him out. He’s top notch! Very friendly and very skilled. I definitely recommend. Also I went back a few weeks later and he remembered my name?! I was shocked haha. Thanks Otis!
This is an excellent place for men and boys to get an excellent haircut. Otis does a great job every time.
Best haircut in town and he does a straight razor shave with the hot towel prep
My boyfriend Tommy got his hair cut tonight by Mr. Johnson. It was by far one of the best experiences we have ever had. Not just at a barber shop but in general. Mr Johnson was one of the friendliest people we have ever met. The place is a blast from the past, showcasing numerous photos of old blues artists and had an awesome vibe. He did an amazing job on my boyfriends hair and we all talked the entire time about music. The craziest thing was when we asked how much he said $12!!! For a haircut! Unbeatable price. We will be back for sure! Five stars all day!
Otis does an awesome job. Makes everyone feel welcome.
Always enjoy my time with Otis and his friends.
I’ve been going to Otis since he opened 13+ years ago. He’s a great barber, and an even better human being. He may not be hip to the latest trends of the styling world, but if you know what you want, he can do it.Strait-blade neck shave with hot shaving cream and a towel, included with every haircut, is the lap of luxury. All for $12.
Hands down a friendly down to earth barber. Worth getting haircut with Otis! Makes sure you are taken care of and leaving out a smile!
Otis is a great guy. Hes cut my kids hair twice now and has done a fantastic job each time. Thanks Otis!!
I had a great experience getting my hair cut here. Mr. Otis Johnson is a wonderful man who is always ready for conversation and personally gets to know his customers. I had gotten a recommendation to try this barber out by my father, and he remembered my father when I told him. Im not much for chatter, but I had no problem talking to Otis the entire time he was cutting my hair. He was even quick to answer my questions that I had. As I told Otis as I left, I will definitely be returning here from now on.
Old skool cool. Great cut, great conversation, great price. Otis is a champ and you will leave his shop looking like one too
Otis is a great guy. Friendly and fast service. All cash and no credit card. No appointments. Walk in only. Basic cuts. Everyone is a friend at Otiss place!
Otis is one of the few barbers left that still use a straight razor around your neck and ears.
Best in town
Otis Johnson is a fantastic Barber on top of being a fantastic individual. Otis is on a first name basis with everyone who walks in the door, introduces everyone to each other and always has a welcoming attitude and caring character. Ive come here for 12 years, ever sense hes opened his doors. He can do anything you need done, from a simple trim and clean up all the way to an old fashioned hot towel straight razor shave. Hes more than just a Barber, hes a great friend.
Great place to get your hair cut. Otis knows what he is doing & is always ready for good conversations. I always enjoy my haircut & my time spent here! Excellent prices also!
Love going here. Otis (owner/operator) is very friendly and Ive never had an issue with my haircuts. Prices are reasonable. This is my go to place.
Best barber in Columbus very welcoming very experienced well behaved and Goodman he did a great job on my hair . All the Barbers needs to learn from him how to treat a customer and how do you do a good job I will suggest everybody come to this place to go get a haircut. Will be coming back.
Just found my new Barber. The atmosphere embodies that classic barber shop feel. Otis and his patrons are friendly and great for conversation. My first time visiting and I felt like I had been going there for years. The hair cut was great and Otis even uses warm shaving cream and a straight blade to edge up the lines. Couldnt be happier.
Hands down the best place for a haircut and a conversation. Otis takes his time and always introduces you to whomever walks through the door. Its has the old school feel of everyone who goes there, are all friends and colleagues. Plus he includes a hot towel to the head at the end.
I havent had many experiences at real barbershops but, on my first visit to Johnsons, I felt like I had been there hundreds of times. When I get my hair cut and my beard trimmed, I want to know that the person sculpting my mane pays as much attention to detail as I do. It was easy to tell that Otis is dedicated to his craft and his customers. The cut was quick and intuitive to my requests. In addition, the care and skill applied to the straight razor gliding through warm shaving cream around the nape of my neck was unparalleled. The price was reasonable and the atmosphere welcoming. When you need your next haircut, you owe it to yourself to visit Otis.
This is the kind of place millinial youngsters were taken by their papas in the late 80s to get their first haircuts. Otis must have been doing this for a hundred years because this man is a timely perfectionist. Found my new barber.
It is a very friendly place I went with my husband and the barber made you feel like family
I am new to Columbus and needed to find a new barber and Otis 100% filled that void. Amazing haircut and an even better personality. Will be going here from now on!!
Always a good experience highly recommend
One of the best old school barbers in the trade. When youre in his chair all of his attention and focus is on you. And listens to your requests for the particular haircut that you desire. Guaranteed fresh.
What an amazing barbershop!!!! Great haircut and an awesome place to chat. If youre looking for a true barbershop this is the place to go.
By far the best barber experience you can have. Careful cut with ear/eyebrow trim, straightedge with warm shaving cream edge trim, warm towel clean off, talcum power finish, and pleasant conversation throughout! Different pomades and so on on request.
A great Barber and a better guy, Otis Johnson makes visiting his shop a good time. If you prefer a classic Barber shop then this is the place to go in Columbus. Best part is he takes walk ins.
Otis not only is a great guy, he is the best barber in Columbus.
When it came time to amputate my 18 month old ponytail, I felt the need for a skilled hair surgeon. A look at the reviews in my area led me straight to Otis. Im sticking with Otis! 10 star experience!
It was a great haircut, for a great price, and great conversation. Thanks Otis
When you go in to get your hair cut it dont matter who you are your like family always!
Otis is the best. He is super friendly, easy to shoot the breeze with, and does a really nice job. Hes also a great guitar player and has his own youtube channel!
Old School. Bring cash and a conversation. Otis will trim you up right.
The only place to go!!
Otis has been cutting my hair for over 2 decades. Theres not a better barber in Columbus. He is true professional and always lends an ear to whats happening in your life.
Otis (Johnson) is more than just a barber, he is a great man who cares deeply about his customers and builds relationships with each and every person who walks in his door. My friends and I dont even need the mirror after a cut anymore, he is a long time master of his craft.
Easy going affordable haircut. Only one chair. Be flexible.
You can get a good haircut here for a reasonable price....from a nice guy.
One of my favorite people and best barbers!
The best barber I’ve been to.
Great haircut and great conversation every time!
Good barber hes white but he cut my hair like a champ and he only charges 12
Great shop. Great guy. Great price.
Great barber. Great musician. All-around great person.
Otis is the best...when I lived near there thats the only place I would go, even drove from Grove City to see him...the best customer service you could ask for and you will probably make a new friend...Otis is the best!!!
I would have given more stars because all the things the other five star reviews say is true and more. If youre looking for a great traditional barber, Otis is it!
Very nice man, welcoming on a first name basis with you as an individual...you just feel at home visiting Otis for a haircut
Otis is a great barber and I like going there
Moved to the area recently and needed to find a new barber, and Otis is the man. He does great quality work, and knows the name of EVERY single person coming in to the parlor who has visited more than once.
