Hmm, Great Haircut, good conversation but there might have been some miscommunication what I misconstrued for stage fright to intelligence. Otherwise really like the artwork. Amazing drawings

These guys are the best in the game. Dan always get my hair looking fresh and the conversation is always fun. Craig has cut my hair before and he did a fantastic job as well. The atmosphere is great and has a nice old fashioned barber shop. Make your appointments about a week in advance because they are a popular spot and fill up quick! Keep up the good work boys!

Youll walk away feeling sexy everytime

First real haircut since Covid. Bill did a great job on my mop, and honestly its one of the better cuts Ive had

Ive been getting my haircut here for a while now and I have yet to get a haircut I havent liked. Definitely better than your generic and cheap barber shops. They do an amazing job and are very nice and friendly

I have been a loyal customer for 3 years, but I had enough after they canceled my Appointment for the 4th time in a row. Great group of barbers, however it’s not worth it if you value your time.

Good people! Thanks for the good talk. They are bunch of cool ppl

Craig is the best barber Ive had the pleasure to meet. He was extremely nice and a wonderful conversationalist. I couldnt recommend this place more.

Old school barber shops serving clients since 1912... Highly recommended!

Good COVID safety, good atmosphere! I had barber Bill and he was super nice + easy to talk to, on top of giving a great haircut. Definitely gonna recommend this place to my friends.

Great neighborhood barber with Covid protocol followed. Barber Dan has been great over the past year now and I wont hesitate to send friends his way.

Craigs Como Barber Shop blends great customer service with impeccable haircuts for men. I love visiting here, its like a spa for the male persuasion. A person can relax and converse about any and everything while getting properly trimmed up and looking sharp. On my first experience I was hooked, and still I keep coming back. Now that Ive found Craigs, getting my haircut is a special route that I look forward to. Head here if you need to get your ears lowered, you wont regret it .

Eddie was great and so was the haircut.

Its one of the few barber shops that gives me a consistently great haircut. Whoever your barber is, you are going to get a great haircut and some of the most interesting stories around!

Great experience everytime Ive been here. Ultra-minnesotan atmosphere with skilled barbers. I recommend to everyone.

Excellent haircut and friendly service. COVID safety protocols were really good as well!

Great conversation. Their covid-19 guidelines are great.

This is a wonderful small business barber shop. I have had my hair cut by each of the barbers and they always do a great job.They are also very friendly, open-minded and respectful.

Huge tradition, continuously operating for over a hundred years. Friendly conversation. My family has a variety of hair, strate, curly, young, old. Good cuts either way.

Never a dull moment in the shop lol. Barbers always got a good story and like talking with their clients. Ill always come back.

Bill is a visionary, helped me bring the dream of the 80s alive with with a juicy mullet

This is the only place I’ve been to with consistency in quality under one roof between different barbers (or stylists elsewhere). Any chair you end up in will result in a very good haircut. I change my style/length from time to time and all of the gentlemen are very meticulous and experienced.The conversation is fun, inclusive, humorous, and often interesting with a mix of college professors, working folks, and students.

Doing all the right things to keep people safe during Covid-19.

Great shop. Lively and fun, with talented barbers. Dan is the man!

Got a haircut before my wedding from Craig and it was absolutely fantastic. Ive since moved out of state, but if Im in the area again, Ill certainly get another cut here. Craig was friendly and very skilled.

Absolutely phenomenal people. Love going here.

No matter who cuts my hair here it’s always the best cut I’ve had. Always make a stop here right before I head home for the summer because I haven’t found another place like it. They’re all great guys to talk to so coming to get a cut is always entertaining and even when there is a wait they easily pass the time with conversation. Always gonna recommend this place

Good service and conversation.

Bad cut. They were just having a bad day .

These guys know how to cut hair. But more importantly, they understand people, they appreciate their neighborhood, and they respect their profession. All of the above is evident the moment you walk in and they all say hello to you.

This place exceeded my expectations! From the great song selections, the conversations, and the jokes, these barbers and their shop create a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere.I love my haircut and the time and patience that was put into making my hair look clean and in style! (They did it right the first time!) I am also overjoyed to have found a barber shop that uses a straight razor on the back of the neck at the end of the haircut. Its one of the best feelings you can experience about a haircut and to me its what separates a typical cheap barber shop to a top quality barber shop.The price is fair at $22 for a standard haircut and all the above services mentioned are included. The service was fantastic and well worth my time and money and it certainly convinced me to want to tip! The place has earned it! I will certainly be making this shop my new barber shop home.

Theres a lot to like if youre looking for an old fashioned barbershop. Unlike some other reviewers, I wouldnt call 20+ dollars inexpensive for a haircut, but it was good service. Craig shaved the back of my neck with hot shaving cream, which felt good and gives a clean look. There are several bird mounts and a deer head, which some would like and others wouldnt. While I was there, there was some nice banter with a customer and ongoing conversations. Its great if this is the kind of place youre looking for.

Absolutely love this place, Craig, Dan, and Bill are some of the coolest, most down to earth people I know. And they’re all pretty great at cutting hair too!

An amazing experience! It took a couple tries to find a time when they werent busy, but it was entirely worth it. As someone with little-to-no experience maintaining short hair, I went in, told them generally what I was looking for, and they delivered. My cut was done by Craig, who asked along the way about exactly what I wanted, and worked with me to create a great cut! The cut isnt something that happens quickly - it took at least 45 minutes - but this is because they take their time to make it perfect. This is honestly the best Ive ever looked, and at a reasonable price. Ill definitely be going back! Not only was the cut incredible, Craig and the other barbers were welcoming and friendly! A great place that Ill be recommending to anyone looking for a barbershop.As a side note, they only take cash or check, but there are two ATMs nearby and the shop is willing to let you go get the cash afterwards.

The only place I go to get a haircut and good conversation

Won’t answer their phone and the voicemail is full. Never been there before but if they can’t pick up the phone or clear their voicemail I can’t trust them to hold an appointment or cut my hair.

This place is everything. Walking in to cheerful staff. Greeted by the lovely dogs. The environment and location are outstanding and their cuts are fantastic.

I stopped by this shop for the first time last week and was very impressed. Really liked the laid-back conversational atmosphere and left with a great cut too! Much better value and quality compared to a chain place trying to get you in/out as fast as possible. A traditional barber is the way to go. I will definitely be going back to Craigs shop.

From out of town. This was the highest rated barbershop on maps near me, and for a good reason. I walked in and waited less than 10 minutes. I asked for a beard trim and was expecting to pay for it. Barber only asked for the haircut ($22). Excellent atmosphere and conversations. Would return again and again if I lived in the twin cities

They were all super friendly and they did an GREAT JOB! I went to a place that BUTCHERED my hair so I came into Craigs and they fixed it up. Only going there now

Very skilled and personable hairstylists! The barbershop has a cozy Minnesotan vibe and fair price

The friendliest guys in townhappy New year Craig sorry I missed you hope you have a great year I hope 2021 treats you well thats a love genie

I loved it so much! My favorite hair cut ever! The staff was so welcoming and generous. It was affordable and I liked the atmosphere of the shop

Good, simple barber with great haircut. All the guys in there do a great job with any sort of cut. The atmosphere is pretty nice, too. The clock in the store marks the top if every hour with a bird song.

Best haircut experience I have ever had! The atmosphere of the shop was reminiscent of older times with a simple and laid back feel to it. Craig is excellent at what he does and takes his time to make sure does a good job. The most enjoyable part was talking to fellow customers. I felt like I was in class with how much cool stuff I learned just by talking with the locals. What a wonderful experience; I will definitely be coming back!

Great barber, classic feelwith a nice touch of humor, and up to date on their current events! Oh yeah they do great cuts too!!

Thank you guys for the nice haircut. Definitely will come here again for hair cut. Very nice service. Bravo!

They advertise online on their website that they close at noon on Saturdays, but I have shown up for two weeks in a row at 11.30 am only to be turned away because they were closed the day. Close times in all other businesses reflect the latest a customer can walk in, not when employees think they should be done for the day.Another thing that I dont like about this barbershop is that they dont accept credit cards. So their customers are unable to take advantage of benefits that come with paying with their credit cards. I am not talking cash back etc. I am talking consumer law.Finally, I used to get my haircuts here a lot. What I liked about this place was that they would take their time and pay attention to detail. Some their new guys now though dont. Last time I was at Craigs Como Barber shop one of the new guys spent 10-12 minutes max giving me a haircut. If I wanted a 10-12 minute haircut I would have gone to Great Clips...

Such a solid spot. The guys here are efficient, friendly and not too chatty. The owner is a really cool

Stay away! They overcharged me. I did nothing, and I mean nothing but a neck trim. I paid $12. A neck trim is $5 in any other barber shop. I remember coming here 3 years ago and being overcharged too. I am definitely not coming back here.

These people are nice overall. All of us have flaws and the reviews with the “racist” comments are too far fetched. We all grow up in differing circumstance. I personally had a cut from just about everyone and they all have been more than kind towards me.Having said that, their cuts are good and they are cheap enough, give them a try always had a nice conversation with them!

Was a great experience overall, since my time of moving in the Como neighborhood Ive gone to the Great Clips in Dinkytown but always felt like it was just meh. The experience is a traditional one which is great, all the barbers, from what Ive seen, are very friendly and understanding of what you want, even if you dont. The only reason I wouldnt recommend this place is the time, because the barbers like to take their time getting a haircut perfect, which is good but can make you wait a while if you are in queue.I was recommended this barber by a friend and I think this will be my new to-go place, prices for a haircut were $22.

The shop itself is like a step back in time, in a good way. The history is fascinating, impressive, and makes for good conversation. The ideal barbershop. Bring cash.

Love these guys—never had a bad haircut here, and their prices are very reasonable.

Ive been getting my hair cut here for 30 years, since it was Petes. Always get a good cut.

Overall, not a bad experience. However, I question wtc7 and Larry Silversteins profit. Also a liberal area so be careful of displaying taxidermy.

Best barber shop Ive ever been to. Hands down.

Awesome place! Got in right away and had a great experience. The open/closed chair feature on the website was a nice way to know I could get in asap!!! Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great hair cut at an affordable price!!!

***revision*** all the barbers here really do an awesome job and take pride in their work, in my last review I was just having a bad day and handled the situation wrong. I recommend this place if youre looking to get a solid hair cut. Theyll take care of ya.

Went here for my first time today. Craig cut my hair and did an excellent job. I didnt know that they dont accept cards, but they had no qualms about letting me run down the street to get some cash. Overall a good haircut from friendly people!

Great first experience! Bill did a great job with my haircut. Short wait, friendly and helpful staff, will definitely return.

The best place Ive found in the cities.

Have known Craig for many years before he entered the business and I couldnt have been more impressed with my experience. The shop has a great, clean atmosphere with a selection of recent and even rare magazines and newspapers to read from well waiting for a cut. The cuts here are unreal and turn out exactly how you tell them to do it.

Best haircut in a long time!! Thanks to the crew.

Definitely will come here again for hair cut. Very nice service. Note that this place accept only cash.

Needed to find a place to go that was convenient. Its an awesome place and very unique.

I needed a haircut in the worst way and was told this was the place to go.Haven’t been disappointed yet after ten years of trying.Go for the conversation and stay for the service.Top notch! Top Notch!

Craig, Chick and now Dan have all cut my hair and they are all highly skilled artists. If you want too sit in a barber chair and be confident that you will leave with a good cut, this is the place to go.

Amazing old school feel. Attention to detail, even went in with a straight razor on the tight work.

Great people, great atmosphere, great haircut; would come again! The staff were friendly and open (and it was nice to listen to them while getting my hair cut, much more interesting than just the radio).

I have been here multiple times with three different barbers, Dan and Craig are so great. But, there is an elder one, he gave me a most horrible and ugly haircut I’ve ever seen before my trip, now I have to shave all my hair.

Great haircut in a historic inclusive welcoming space. Craig is friendly and its just a nice all-around experience.

Wont go anywhere else for a haircut! Craig and the staff are the very best!

The haircut and conversation was decent but another patron made a homophobic joke and everyone, including all three staff members laughed along. This did not make me feel safe or welcome. For this reason, I did not have the courage to confront the six men in the room who laughed along. I will never give my money to this business again.

If youre wondering if you should try this barber shop, you should. Dont take my word for it but this barber shop should be nominated for Star Tribunes Best Of.Had them touch up my hair after a horrible Sport Clips experience, theyve won a customer for life. Great experience, cannot say enough good things about this place.

Ive been getting my hair cut here for years. This is the type of place that time seemingly forgot, that doesnt mean theyve forgotten how to cut hair. The owner Craig is a cool fella and can converse with people about anything imaginable. A handy skill with the diverse crowd that comes through his doors, from international PhDs and MDs from to U to the kid from just down the street.The interior pays homage to a time past as the place opened in the 19 teens (under different management of course). The service is walk in only. Payment is cash only. It is great.There can be a wait, so be sure to check the website for the number of people waiting to save time.

Racist shop. Had to stop going. Wasnt a time I was there where they diddnot talk about black people doing something. Also, started giving bad cuts. Shame too, since I always tipped.*Response to Owner:Shame on you for attacking me, for the sake of money, Craig. You should use this experience to grow and attempt to be less racist! My advice to you: go travel, meet different people, learn that we are all the same. In the meantime, take some haircut tips, maybe drop in on a barber school!

We love Craigs Como Barber. An iconic establishment.

Great place to get a hair cut. I have always been happy with the service here.

Love tht simple functionality of their website. The shave is good too.

On my second visit to this barbershop, the three chairs were occupied, so I went and sat in a chair to wait my turn. As I was waiting, the elder of the three men working told his customer a racist joke about black men. I walked out after hearing it, knowing I couldnt do business with someone that treats serious issues so casually, just because they dont affect him at all.I have altered this post, since I returned to talk to them about this, and the two younger men assured me that they knew the joke was inappropriate, and said it had been discussed.

Everytime I come in here I ask for a haircut better than Donald Trumps, which they do w/ ease because, well-- that isnt hard to do.

Excellent service. Great environment.

Craig and Chick, the shops two barbers, do a great job of providing a positive experience in all regards - sharp looking cuts and a classic Barbershop atmosphere where anyone feels like an old friend. The shop can be busy at times, but a cut here is worth the wait!

Best barbershop in town! The guys dont use guides and provide great service! Take check or cash only, so come prepared.

Nice hair cut. Pretty fast. Good conversation as well

I always enjoy the rustic atmosphere and the courteous professionalism exhibited by the staff. They always give me a fantastic haircut, too.

I took a chance and booked a last minute appointment as the salon is close to my work. I got an outstanding haircut a great price!

One of the oldest and experienced baber shop in minneapolis. Very friendly atmosphere and staff. They put full effort and dedication in their work. It was my first visit and I loved my haircut. Money woth spent.

Best damn haircut Ive had in 30 years.

I first discovered the Como Barbershop when I was in graduate school (I lived fairly close during my first year). Pete owned the shop at that time and he had a talent for treating every client like they were an old friend. You went there and got some great stories, funny jokes, and a proper haircut. That was back in 1998, and time marched on, as it has a tendency to do. One day I walked in and Craig had just joined the shop. There was a group of guys waiting for Pete to cut their hair and Craig was sitting there waiting for someone to sit in his chair. I took that opportunity to get to a haircut from the new guy. I knew he would do a good job, after all, Pete had hired him. Pete had never let me down. From that point on, Craig became my primary barber in the shop and haircuts with Pete became less frequent. This was no slight to Pete, he is a great barber. His final act to all his loyal clients was to pass the torch to next generation. He succeeded mightily.I cant always get into the shop because my schedule gets hectic and I dont live in the neighborhood anymore, but every time I return, I am reminded of what the true barber experience should be. There has been a barbershop in this location for over 100 years and it is going to continue under Craigs guidance. Do yourself a favor and get your haircut here. Even if there is a wait, do it. Youll hear great stories, engage in great conversation, laugh at a few jokes and get a great haircut. It is probably the best barber experience in the Twin Cities.I almost forgot.....get your Christmas Comb!

The guys here are genuine and give great haircuts. Pete, Craig, and the new guy, are a staple of the Como neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Very good mens cuts for a reasonable price. The barbers are also very friendly and fun to talk to. Would reccomend to anyone.

Always giving a quality cut with a nice casual atmosphere to converse.

First time customer, and will definitely return! Absolutely terrific in every way.

Thirty-year customer here, first with Pete and now with Craig (and occasionally Pete). Great place to catch up on the neighborhood, talk to strangers, and--of course--get a good haircut. Plus, you get an autographed plastic comb at Christmas!

Ive been getting my hair cut at the Como Barbershop since the early 80s. Not only have I always received a great cut, but the social experience was regularly the highlight of my day. Im always a little disappointed if I dont have to wait for a bit when I come in. The stories are precious. Thanks Pete & Craig!

Best true barbershop in town. Craig is meticulously attentive to details!

Solid haircut, my first in the US so I cant really compare prices.Friendly barbers.

Old fashioned barber shop with good haircuts. Craig & company can cut all types and styles.
