Nicholas is incredible! I have been looking for someone to cut my hair right for years and finally found someone!!! Highly recommend anyone with short hair come in and see him. He also gave me a shampoo and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ll be back in two weeks!
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good haircut. I could walk into any barbershop and get a good cut when I lived in NYC. Not so in Minneapolis. Until I met Stephanie. I’m a hairstylist myself and I’ll tell you she knows what she’s doing. She’s definitely going to get me back on track. Thanks Steph, I’ll see you soon!
Great place. Laid back and chill. Jesse is who I trust with my beard. Highly recommended
Nic is the best. He provides a worry free cut everytime. My hair looks like a hurricane map and hes the only stylist that has figured out how it needs to be cut and he knocks it out of the park each time. By far the best stylist Ive ever had! Thanks, Nic!
I used to love this place, but the quality of my haircuts has been dropping over the past two years. Last week I gave them a shot and it turns out they’re COVID-deniers. Apparently, this place believes that masking up for public health is a hoax.Don’t bother here anymore. Used to be great but has descended into madness and Great Clips quality work. Such a shame.
Full disclosure: I havent been in since before lockdown. I wont be back.Edit: I went in as soon as they opened on a Saturday for a beard trim and haircut. I couldnt make an appointment at the time (I dont think they had that until the pandemic). It took two hours. WHAT? The barber who was cutting my hair (Kim) answered their phone 3 times, left to talk to people in the waiting room, and generally made me feel like I didnt matter & she cared more about others than the person sitting in front of you.Squared Up Hair, which is right down the street, is much better.
Always an awesome experience. Jesse is the person I always book appointments with but everyone here seems talented. Prices are reasonable for the great service and the Google appointment system works great. No calls needed.
Excellent haircut. Kelly and her team are very professional. Well worth the time, price, and experience!
Really enjoyed my cut here. The staff is incredibly friendly. For $30 get a nice cut and quick neck shave.
Go see Steph! She is awesome!
Its been awhile since Ive been there, but the service is awesome. Last time there received a shave and a haircut and awesome conversation. Highly recommend.
I have been a patron of this place for about a year and I have been going to Jesse (one of the barbers) for a few years now. I know this place is operated and ran by some pretty awesome people who care a lot about their own safety as well as their patrons’ safety! They have gone to great lengths to ensure that proper procedures are being put in place in order to practice safe distancing and procedures. While I know the staff is wearing face coverings and now face shields, I fully believe that the staff here are doing everything they can to promote the safest environment possible. I will continue to patron this establishment due to the level of professionalism and service I have received. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have been a long time customer of the Barber Sharp and it pains me to write this review. At this time, I would not recommend anyone utilize their services. The barber I was working with explicitly told me that he was actively trying to get COVID-19. As I was sitting in his chair. With his face eight inches from mine. I almost got up and left right there. I cant in good conscious bring myself to patronize a business whose staff is this reckless and has so little regard for their customers safety. Ill be taking my money elsewhere from now on. I understand this may have been an off-hand comment and maybe I took it our of context, but it just seemed so reckless to say that to a customer sitting in your chair. I have had good luck with the Barber Sharp in all my past experiences, but this crossed the line for me.
I always see Steph. Great cut everytime, beard trims and straight shaves are on point.
Steph has me looking 🔥 everytime!! In-and-out in 15min with appointment only!!
Amazing customer service and great haircuts, beard trims, and shaves. If you like the local/old school barber feel this is definitely the place to go in MPLS!
I have been a regular customer for this shop for well over a year and because of their professionalism and quality of work I will always come back and be a client of Jesse’s. Even with the pandemic going on the shop has made me feel that it is a comfortable and safe environment that I can enter and get a fresh cut. I believe the shop, it’s owner and barbers have taken the necessary precautions to sanitize their work space and tools. Safety is number 1 and I can tell The Barber Sharp takes this very seriously!
Service was stellar, beard looked fantastic after!! Highly recommended!!
I have been getting my hair and my sons hair cut here for some time now, and as recent as 2 weeks ago. Jesse has never disappointed and you can tell that this shop genuinely cares about and knows their clients. I drive over 45 minutes to get it cut here. The shop is incredibly clean, well maintained, and very welcoming. They are most certainly a customer first business! I will not get it cut anywhere else!
I’ve loved getting my hair cut here for a while. Steph does a superb job and I think the price is super fair. But the shop is not enforcing mask use among its patrons nor are they social distancing. They have customers sitting right next to each other and are acting in direct violation of public health rules in the city of Minneapolis.
Nice barbershop, but the owner is an anti-masker. Just want to let people know so they can avoid an awkward situation.
Been going here for just over a year and havent had a bad haircut yet.
Just needed a quick undercut touch-up/re-shave. They did a great job and had me in and out quickly! I will definitely return.
Great carefully done haircut. Thanks Jesse
I usually only buzz my hair to a 1/4 and call it good. Too many bad experiences with salons. But Ive been here twice, and both time they did a great job. Definitely going back.
Jesse is the best barber in the Twin Cities, period. I wont go to anyone else. The Barber Sharp itself is kept very clean and and I never have to worry about my health or safety. My only recommendation is that you keep doing what youre doing and I will keep coming back.
The Barber Sharp is NOT taking the COVID-19 precautions it claims to take.When I went in today, not only was my barber maskless until I sat down in the chair, but the OWNER of the shop was cutting hair in the chair next to mine without a mask. There were two customers in the area that also werent masked. While I get that theres technically an exception to the rules for when youre getting your beard trimmed, NEITHER of these customers had beards to trim and shouldnt have been maskless, and (above all) the owner of the shop has no excuse to be cutting hair without a mask. Ive gone to the Barber Sharp to get my hair cut for almost 2 years, but Im not going back again after this.
Best Barber Shop in the Twin Cities. Great people! Jesse takes care of my hair and beard and is a pro!
Awesome barbershop. My son and I get our haircut with Jesse and he does a great job. Everyone else at the shop is respectful and a pleasure.
Great shop, great owners/staff, great homemade beard oil. Only place I trust with my beard. 10/10!
Excellent haircut and the service is great. Super easy to book online. I always book with Jesse but I can see that all of the barbers give great cuts.
Great staff that does excellent work at a reasonable price. Cool shop. Everyone is very friendly.
Staff was cleanly. I felt very comfortable in the building. The haircut was the best one I’ve had. Will go back monthly.
Nic has never done me wrong! The shop is the best in NE. All staff is welcoming and professional. Good conversation, lots of laughs and always leave feeling my best.
Steph is ALWAYS great! Not sure about a couple of the other reviews, because when I was there everyone was wearing masks. Definitely need to check them out for a fantastic cut! As I left the shop, a gentleman asked me if I had come from The Barber Sharp and if I worked there. I replied yes I just left there and no I don’t work there. He said that he’d asked because my “hair and beard looks SO great!” Thanks again Steph!
Kelly is the best barber I have ever had cut my hair. I highly recommend her Barbersharp!
These people are amazing. Best haircut Ive ever had, but its more than that: its an experience. Stop by on a walk-in Saturday, and you will be well taken care of.
Pleasant environment. Professional staff. Left looking my best and Im look forward to being a regular.
Best barbers in town. They listen, give advice, and take safety precautions.
Always a great place. All the barbers are awesome. Worth every penny.
This shop is so great! I get waxing services from Steph and will never go anywhere else. Her and all the other barbers are smiling and welcoming and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Steph is professional, always on time and provides an excellent service. If there are any other ladies out there are looking for waxing services, go see Steph and she will clean you up! This shop is located in a great neighborhood in Northeast, close to shops, breweries and places to eat, so i love making an afternoon appointment and then grabbing a bite down the street. Cannot rate this place high enough!
Great expirence at the Barber Sharp. Jesse is professional, curious, and safety conscious. The environment is clean, safe and accepting.
Steph was friendly and gave me the exact cut I wanted! Atmosphere is nice and parking is easy
I got my hair cut here years ago and it was a great experience but new customers should know that the owner is currently riding a wave of conspiracy theories and has made it clear she will NOT be following required health practices to keep her customers and staff safe from COVID-19. If you or anyone you know has any kind of serious risk factors, I beg you to avoid this place. So sad.
Amazing place! Best haircut in town. Extremely professional.
Great personalities! Super quick and professional services!
Thumbs up here!! Owner Mike took care of me, he gave me a Great cut!! Meticulous, crafty, personable- nice location in Minneapolis, Minnesota!!Great shop- nice crew and decor!!Definitely appreciate Mike and crew!!Highly Recommend
Always a perfect cut. Friendly staff too. Sometimes a bit of a wait for walk-ins, but Ive always found it worth the time
Super great atmosphere great stylists and a great price love this place jesse will be my barber for years to come thanks guys
Great place. Fun atmosphere. A nice old style barbershop for men. The barbers are all very good. Prices are great. The hot shaves are an experience everyone should go through. If your looking for a great neighborhood spot this is it. You wont be disappointed.
This place is amazing. Ive been going for a few years now and it just keeps getting better. Doesnt matter who is cutting your hair or cleaning up your beard, its high quality. I highly recommend requesting D. Literally my favorite cut and trim Ive ever gotten, very friendly and good conversation. I cant imagine being disappointed leaving here.
**Highly Recommending Nic**Nic is a very genuine and caring individual. He is very passionate about hair, and he cares deeply about his clients satisfactions. He is very professional, friendly and he provides honest opinions about styles and recommendations which I appreciate very much. Did I also mention how detailed Nic is? Nic has been cutting my hair for 3 years now, and I have nothing but excellent things to say about him.
Awesome atmosphere, all the barbers are wearing there mask to protect the costumer. Jesse is my main barber he is fantastic this shop is one of the best I have been too. If you are looking for good hair cut or beard trim check these guys out no joke.
Nic is absolutely phenomenal, he does an incredible job, he’s Mozart with a pair of scissors, clippers, and his tool tray.
Nic was fantastic! After 3 months of quarantine needed to find a barber. He was friendly, quick, and gave me exactly what I was looking for!
They always do a great job on my hair and beard. Cozy kind of joint, personable barbers who always offer you a beer while you wait. Call ahead if youre in a rush, I usually wait about 10-15 minutes. Sometimes longer if its busy, sometimes theres no wait at all. Call ahead if youre on a schedule, but honestly I like this place because its more of a neighborhood experience. Its an errand I enjoy. Plus I always come out looking fresh and dapper for a reasonable price.
Been here several times and always leave impressed. D takes his time and sculpts like an artist. Fantastic crew there and very welcoming. I live in Ramsey and the drive is definitely worth it. My place from now on.
I was there to get a shave for the first time in my life and wasn’t happy with the service, not sure if it was just this person (Jason), think he had a bad day. He was kind of in a hurry, had a smoked breath, uneven shave and mainly I had minor cuts on chin.Did not have good experience on my first shave and I will not forget it. Had a second thought if going for a haircut after 3 weeks but I change my mind ✌🏻I believe other members are good and the vibe is sweet.
Moved to Minneapolis from Baltimore, and was looking for a new barber. Searched for about a year until I found this place... finally found an awesome barber in Minneapolis!
Walk in service was great. Visited here on my way to an appointment and they got me in for a haircut+beard trim right away. The barber was courteous and attentive. Shaved a new mohawk in no time and did a pretty good job in my opinion. Definitely check this place out. They take card too which is less common that youd think at barber shops.
Reading the reviews I was very excited to go here for the first time but to be honest Im very disappointed with the quality of my haircut. My barber Jason seemed very rushed and didnt even really talk to me about what I wanted. Yea I got it. I wanted to maintain the length of my hair on top but he ended up cutting two inches off. Worst was he didnt even have a mirror so I didnt get to see the damage until the end. I really hoped this would be my new go to cause the vibe was super cool. Worst cut Ive ever gotten.Even worse was on the website it said I could get a shampoo. Im hundred percent okay with paying extra. When I asked all I got was oh yea I dont do that, I can run some water on your hair if ya want
Ive been going since they reopened due to Covid (had to trim that quarantine beard) and Jesse did a FANTASTIC job both times, hes both professional and keeps his area as clean as can be.I plan on making this a biweekly thing, and would recommend this place in a heartbeat.And contrary to what Ive read posted below, all the staff were wearing masks, as well as the customers, with the exception if they, like me, were getting a beard trim.Edit: Nic is a sweetheart and awesome as well. Jessie wasnt available the day I needed a trim, but Nic was and he was fabulous.
This place is spot on and for a great price. Got a hair cut and a shave and now I just wish this shop was back in my hometown. Highly recommend
Steph cut my hair today and I LLLOVE my new cut.Yay, I found my new barber!
Ive just returned from The Barber Sharp and I think they did a great job. A quality cut is a necessity; a Nick (who evidently just started there after working as a master barber somewhere in St. Paul for a number of years) was diligent in delivering a great cut. It was thorough and representative of his passion. I appreciate that he was efficient, but didnt hurry. He listened well at the beginning. Tapered the sides where the hair grows quicker. Did a hot foam shave at the edges at the end. The beer was pretty neat; the environment is great - I like that its a barber shop for men and has some character. I will be going back.
Coo place, cool people, and they offer you a beer sometimes. Mike cut my hair and did exactly what I asked for. Youd be surprised how many barbers in the city do not know what a fade is. This place is great.
Great place to get your hair cut. Everyone I have gone to has done a great job and has been very friendly.
Great atmosphere. Friendly barbers. Jon knows what hes doing. I just walk in tell him to do what he wants to do and I walk out looking good and feeling good. Great price for all you get too. Gotta check them out if you havent already.
Best barber shop around! If youre looking for a great cut with clean lines and nice conversation, this is your place! Reasonable prices too! An old school feel in a new age.
Jesse gave me a great haircut.
If you enjoy waiting hours while others go ahead of you then this is the place for you. I was a loyal customer here for years and could no longer handle the change of barbers constantly and lack of good haircuts. My last 2 visits I got my haircut by the gray haired lady in the back corner, big mistake. Both times I had to go to cost cutters to get it fixed. Now I just go to cost cutters and never have to wait an hour and they razor shave the neck also!!!!
With 5 chairs available and a staff of stylists you can get a shave and great haircut here whether you walk in or make an appointment. If you need your beard groomed this is the place too. Your proprietor Kelly has created a great Northeast vibe here and youll enjoy the hospitality. Whether you want a swanky new look or are in need of a basic cut you can be sure you will have what you want when your visit The Barber Sharp.
1st trim n cut had here was spectacular, but the 2nd time the guy seemed very new to the shop and the job. Did not make me trust that he could help me. Trimmed my burns n cheeks n I got out before he could do any real damage. Thought I’d found myself a solid barbershop. Don’t know if I should go again though.
Been going here every two weeks for over a year. Love it! Steph is great!
This place has personality, and thats a compliment. Nice guys who know how to cut hair and create a memorable experience doing so. Everyone seems dedicated to their craft and value making guys hair look good. Plus, there are PBRs to sip on.Highly recommend.
Very friendly staff and a great relaxed environment. I always try to have Jon cut my hair and a cool perk they have is a free beer while you are waiting. Never had a bad cut and I like the location
I had one fantastic hair cut, one bad hair cut, and the worst hair cut of my life here. It all depends on which barber you get. The two bad cuts, separate barbers completely ignored what I told them and just chopped my hair off. I usually get a cut every 2 weeks, after the horrible cut, I didn’t go back for 5. The owner offered to fix it, but she didn’t know how to do a fade and sent me home with no changes. Really want to like this place but it needs to get its act together.
Overall, I have always enjoyed the quality of my haircut. I can confidently Ive never walked out and been disappointed with how I looked. But if you have absolutely nothing to do and can afford to wait for - in my experience - an hour or more (thats with two people in front of you), I would recommend elsewhere. I drive a considerable distance to come here and sadly, its just not worth my time anymore. I am just tired of having to wait for what I believe are unacceptable amounts of time. There has to be a balance between quality and throughput.
Bernie (a craftsman) just gave me a really good cut and beard trim. He took his time to get the fade just right! Thanks Bern! See you in a month. I also really like that they have a live view camera so you can see if there are any names on the chalkboard.
Brought my son in for his first haircut. There was a wait, but Kelly acknowledged and apologized for the wait. There was plenty of things and people to keep him entertained. Thanks for the great experience Kelly!!
Great barbershop! Their straight razor neck cleanups are key!
The Barber Sharp is an old fashion, quality mens barber for modern people.Enjoy a free PBR while you get your hair cut. The old school barber chairs are comfy and the staff really know their stuff. They give you a great cut and you can enjoy a nice conversation while theyre cleaning you up.Prices are great (a couple bucks more than those chain hair cut places but far better quality), the location is perfect, and the people that work there make it the best place in the Twin Cities to get your hair cut. Check it out!
Ive been going to the Barber Sharp for almost four years now and I absolutely love it. Every barber there does an excellent job so Im never worried which one I get - the location is great and the decor is wonderful. The only downside is the wait can be a little bit long at times but if you check the camera on their website before you head over you can sort of estimate how long it will be. Overall, I wouldnt go anywhere else!
Just moved into the area and need a hair cut bad. I searched barber near me. The barber shop was down the road. I walked into a cool vintage up beat barber shop. I was greated right away! The staff are cool and give off a good vibe for a nice atmosphere. I walked in not knowing what to expect. Then left with not only a great hair cut, But many recommendations. I will keep going back for future hair cuts. The price is great and well worth any wait! Thats a great NE BARBER SHOP!
Kelly and her staff have built up quite a spot here in Northeast. Anyone I end up going to is knowledgeable and makes sure my hair and beard looks great before I leave. Kelly also sells a beard oil thats just fantastic with a variety of scents. I recommend the Ryder style, it smells best to me.
Just made my first trip to The Barber Sharp, and I couldn’t be happier. After getting my beard butchered at another barber shop in the Cities I was quite cautious about trusting anyone with my face fur again, but the ladies here are amazing. THIS is what a barbershop should be. If you are a guy in Mpls/St Paul you owe it to your hair to come here.
Wanted to go to a barber as Ive been going to stylists for years and miss the days when a guy could get a nice, clean, well groomed cut. I was so very happy to stumble upon the reviews for this place. The atmosphere is laid back, just like I like it. It was clean, comfortable and the staff is great. Very reasonably priced, especially for the service you receive and the attention to detail. Parking was right in front of the storefront and was free (in the city...free on street parking is a dream). Very conveniently located as well. This is my new go-to for cuts, period.
Fiance just came home from his first haircut here. He told me that the person cutting his hair didnt wear a mask.This is not okay. We cant recommend this business.
This one star review needs a caveat.The first time I got my haircut here it was one of the best barber experiences Ive ever had. The barber (I believe his name is Dave) was experienced, did an amazing job and was fun to talk to.I returned, hoping for a similar experience.Heres why my review is one star:I had a new barber. He seemed befuddled by my requested hair style (which is the standard short on the side long on top) and said that it wouldnt work.His first move was to take a number 8 razor right down the middle of my head. The damage had been done. He proceeded to give me the same haircut he himself had. Im not sure if he is vain, or only able to give one haircut.He did not asses my head at all, my hairline is receding and this barber decided to give me a haircut that would accentuate this as much as possible (thanks, man). And he left the back to bulky. I wish I hadnt payed, but I was in a state of mild shock and just sorta left.TL;DR - go, but just for the love of God, make sure you ask for Dave.
D is the man! Ive never left a barber feeling better about my hair and beard. As some have noted, it can get busy. Either make an appointment, or sit back and enjoy a PBR - its worth the wait!
As a guy, I hate explaining what kind of haircut I want to a barber.Its impossible - thats why finding a good, reliable barber is paramount, as you can just sit down, say the usual, and get exactly what youre looking for.Thats what happens at The Barber Sharp - its a place that you can rely on time and time again for a fantastic haircut at a fantastic price.Ive been coming here since they opened, and Ive never had a bad haircut. Kelly and her team are very friendly and talented, and the shop has a great vibe.Plus, after your first haircut with a beer, youll be hooked. Do yourself a favor, and check out The Barber Sharp.
I just went there for haircut and beard trimBest experience at a barber in the 37 years I have been alive. So do yourself a favor and check them out I will never go to another place again. Thank you so much... Im from Ohio and we dont have barbers even close thank god I moved to Minneapolis
Nick managed to squeeze me in one day on a walk in, did a fantastic job and I have now found my go to barber after moving to the area.
Outstanding barbers who provide high quality services at good prices.
No appointment necessary - they have a very hip vibe, offer PBRs with haircuts. Check the website to see how crowded it is. Highly recommend for a reasonably priced cut.Quick addendum: they say theyre open until 7:00 PM on their website. They are not - theyre open until 6:15, and then they draw a line on their sign-in and tell you they cannot accommodate you. No matter what. I still love getting my hair cut here, just know that if youre someone who doesnt get home from work before 6, you basically have to go here on the weekend.
Love the Barber Sharp! Been there twice and both time I loved my cut! They are awesome!
I just went to the Barber Sharp on a whim after none of the other places I called answered their phones. I saw the equality sticker in their window and decided to give it a shot. Im a queer female with a strange haircut, so I have a difficult time finding a stylist I can trust. The barber had absolutely no trouble cutting my hair, and the shop was inviting. The service was cheap, fast, and good. Im never going anywhere else for a haircut. Thanks, Barber Sharp!
I found this place about 4 years possibly 5 after the place i went to closed! And have only gone another place once and regretted it immediately! I now know why I go here, and cant even really use the expression thats why I pay more here. Up until now they were only 11 to 12 dollars depending on paying method and may be more around 14? Which is still great and I end up being able to give the extra buck or two that I save to the barber. Good business aspect! Keeping the prices lower and in return that goes to the employees, having them happier to please the customer and them coming back for repeat business and word of mouth obviously is good for the entire place. I always recommend you guys! Thanks.!
