Best barbershop in Tampa! Lisa, Lauren and the whole team are incredibly talented. Every visit is always FUN and enjoyable. Give them a try I promise you wont be disappointed!
The shop has serious personality - think classic Tampa/ tattoo parlor/ professional barber shop.As a new client I was welcomed genuinely and made to feel valued.For booking, make sure you use the website - it essentially automates the process, allows you to choose one of their barbers (Instagram profiles provided), choose an available time slot on their schedule, so then you can just show up for your appointment feeling like a true regular.The skill of each barber Ive booked with have been high caliber - efficient, detailed, artistic, and efficient. The owner is a hoot. The value justifies the price. 5 stars all around.
Lucked into this hip trendy barber shop while on a short vacation to Tampa, was a great experience Julie was great and gave me a super cut, wish I lived close enough to make this my regular haircut spot
The shop has a welcoming environment for anyone of any background. The barbershop owners as well as barbers go out of their way to accommodate and make guests comfortable.
Fixed a bad haircut from another barber from a diffrent company. Amazing job cuts alllll headsss. Very good job recommend this shop.
It is always a pleasure to have my hair cut here. The staff matches skill with kindness and embodies the true sense of a community barber shop.
I would strongly recommend going somewhere else. I had my haircut here and it was so bad I had to go to someone else just to get it fixed. Sad to say that it was a horrible experience all around, the person cutting my hair took 2 hours, I’m a guy with fairly short hair and my cuts usually take 45 mins. Only reason this one lasted so long was due to my hair cutter stopping to chat with other people or to watch tv. I believe due to her lack of focus and attention is not only why my haircut came out horribly but also why it was messed up, I mean it was cut so poorly that the person who fixed it asked if I had a friend who was in school cut it. This place may be a bit cheaper than others around the area but the quality is subpar and that’s me putting it nicely. Spare yourself a waste of time, money and a bad cut and go to a professional place instead.
Excellent staff and great atmosphere. I always get a good experience and a top-notch cut at this one of a kind barber shop.
Fixed my sons haircut and made him look handsome again.
Great atmosphere. Great staff. Had fun and got a great cut and beard trim.
Nicole was awesome and really saved the day when a barber at a different shop couldnt really capture what I wanted. Not only did Nicole pull it off, they really enjoyed doing it. Great experience!
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, top-notch cut. The staff are all dope. Lisa, Pablo, (really everyone there) are fantastic barbers and masters of the craft.Definitely worth the money in my book.
Quickly got in And the Cut was worth it
Always a great cut and the barbers are talented and professional.
I can’t even imagine going anywhere else to get my hair cut. Lauren, one of the owners, is phenomenal - always friendly and always giving me a cut I can’t wait to show off. You can also get a complimentary drink while you get your hair cut. I started coming here after getting a bunch of hair cut off (my previous haircut had been about 2 years before) and they’ve been taking good care of me ever since. You’re in good hands - do it!
I love this place. Great vibe and I always get a great haircut from Mike!
Lisa’s consistencies And attention to detail have kept me going back here for five years. I appreciate his individuality and how the space is lively and of course I appreciate the Refreshing beverage while I’m there. Do you go to the summer see if they have any frozen alcoholic treats those are the best. Lisa shop is great I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Lisa (the shop owner) did a great job on my hair, she gave me a super clean skin fade and Im very happy with how it came out.. Shes super cool and I will definitely be going back to her.
Always a pleasure and great service guaranteed by Lisa and staff. I got the facial with the skin care treatment which is highly recommended. My face and skin is glowing and feels very refreshing. Thank you Ybor Barbering Company for a job well done.
I do NOT recommend them. Very unprofessional staff. I tried calling the store multiple times but my calls werent answered. I noticed their website provides contact details of barbers so customers can reach out to them. I reached out (via text) to one (named LC) of the barbers to get more information regarding beard dye service as it is not listed on their website and if I can schedule an appointment with him. The barber was clearly very annoyed that I contacted him and stated that I should visit the website (i did mention that beard dye services are not listed on their website) or call the store (which I tried multiple times and mentioned that my calls went unanswered) and only text him if I am his existing customer. It was very sad to see that he was so annoyed by a new customer reaching out to him to give him business. Oh well, its their loss.
Awesome atmosphere, awesome stuff. Always satisfied with my cut!
Amazing shave with LC, will be returning Sunday for a haircut. Looking forward to it.
Very very clean. High energy and high end barbershop with a laid back style. You feel like an important friend in any seat. It is a wonderful experience. I wont go anywhere else.
Great service, they were friendly on the phone and got me in to get my hair cut right away. Highly recommend them.
Great service and great cut, Pablo did wonderful work. You won’t leave disappointed.
Derrick is an artist and a philosopher. Highly recommend.
Staff is very good at what they do and are very friendly and attentive.
What an awesome place to get a haircut and beard trim. Set in an older home, this place is packed with character and a staff with plenty of talent. Get on the books and make this your go-to for a cut in Tampa.
The best haircuts by the best staff. Michael and Lauren are awesome!
I took my great nephew here and the barber Kenneth did such an awesome job! This place is so relaxing. I felt like I was in a Barber Spa! The music, the welcoming, the Family setting! Thank you Ybor City Barbering!
Pablo is the absolute BEST. He always makes sure to listen to what you want and he takes the time to give a phenomenal haircut. Working in the finance industry, I always have to look professional.... he never fails to make me look fresh. I have even had haircuts with a few of the other barbers and each one is great. Meredith and Mike are my back ups if Pablo is booked. The shop is easy to get to, very clean, everyone is friendly, and the service is exceptional. A cold beer, a hair cut and a beard trim is the best 40 minutes of my week!
Great place and they listen to your directions
Best shop in town. A very laid back place with great people. They keep me looking my best and sometimes even better.
Went in, it was empty. Staff sitting around doing nothing but looking at their phones. Said they didnt have time to shave my head, which takes me all of 10 mins. I wont go back.
Great place to go have a beer while you wait if youre not scheduled for an appointment. Theres cool artwork all over the place inside, and the vibe is soo chill. I reccomend scheduling an appointment but you gotta figure out who you want to cut your hair. Theyre all really great at their job, and always busy. Its my favorite place to get my hair cut because they do such a great job.
I’ve been coming here since I moved to Tampa. Michael is awesome, and always does a good job. I’d recommend Ybor City Barbering Company to anybody; they treat you like family here.
The Barber experience Ive been looking for all my life! They can do everything here! Ive had so many bad experience at all the barbers before I was referred here by a friend. I can get my cuts and my braids done here. This place has a very chill vibe and awesome atmosphere. Staff is friendly and very hospitable. Everyone here is nice and they all have positive attitudes. The owner is a sweetheart! Shes really done well for herself and her staff. I have no issue with driving here from Lakeland for a haircut. Totally worth it! This shop is definitely a hidden gem.
Great staff, very friendly everyone gets along from what I saw. Love the art work. Very accepting of the gay and lesbian community. Nice place just to go and get made over. Lots of services offered other than haircut.
Derrick did a gr8 job of Re-Styling my hair, post-Rono! Lol. Good man, gr8 taste & loves his work! God bless!
Great vibe barbers are really good
My Go-To place, for cuts and fun!When a buddy of mine posted to Social Media that he went here and got a great true barber cut, AND they included a beer, I KNEW I had to try it out!I keep my hair sharp, and love a great cut. I made an easy appointment online with Lauren, one of the owners. I walked in, she was ready, and I have had nothing but stellar experiences since. From great consultation and ideas through the execution of the cut including the straight razor edges, I have been very pleased. Ive taken 4 others with me since, and it has become their go-to place too.AND, fun events happen at the bar. Recently we met up with high school friends and wrapped an evening at the bar. It had a very comfy and welcoming feel to everyone. It felt inclusive to all without the feeling of forced inclusion.I highly recommend checking them out!
Really one of the best places to get your hair cut. The barbers and stylists are second to none and they accept appointments! You can also walk in and catch someone between clients. The beer while you get cleaned up is another nice perk!
Annie is wonderful. Highly recommended. Understands want you want, makes great suggestions, and is a great stylist. The place is professional but laid back. Very welcoming. I bounced around to different places for months, but I will not be going anywhere else. This is the place to go and Annie is the one to see.
Gio is phenomenal. Got me in same day and gave me a remarkable haircut cut to my exact desired look. Great conversation, great environment, great service.
I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of my experience here, and will definitely be back. I highly recommend the All In. This is one of the best haircuts I have ever had. Im always traveling, and checking out different barber shops; this place impressed me. The atmosphere is extremely friendly, and the staff is amazing. I will definitely be a return customer when I am in Tampa.
Awesome friendly staff. Best cuts in town.
Lisa and Lauren and crew are very welcoming and talented barbers. I always request something different and have received a cut from all of the barbers here and have never left disappointed. The location is convenient to Ybor City and a very charming atmosphere inside. Grab a beer and chat, watch TV and walk out with a great cut and shave to show off down the street.
Ybor City Barbering company is an absolute GEM in the area. From a friendly, welcoming staff, to a foolproof booking system online, this place mixes convenience with a job well done. If you are used to going to a chain place, you are going to see, first hand, how they roll out the red carpet for you. You won’t be afraid to ask your barber for styling advice. Can’t complain about a place that puts a drink of your choice (free of charge) in your hand before you even sit down. I’ve been seeing my barber, Lisa, for over 4 years now and I would not see another shop. Kind people who do a great job. Give this place a shot if you are new in town or just looking for a change of pace.
Great deals on all your grocery needs.
Didnt have a barber but immediately became a regular after my 1st cut. Friendly environment and amazing cuts! Would recommend anyone to just stop by for a fresh, new look.
Very hard to get a haircut
It has taken me a long time to find the person who gets what I want for my style and I finally found her here. Nicole is awesome! She is personable, listens and does both scissor and razor work which is what my style requires. I never would have guessed that I could get what I wanted hair wise out of a barbershop and Im SO glad I took the chance. Great vibes, hip atmosphere the place is solid. I will be traveling from St. Pete to Tampa from now on. Just go.
Best hair cut in town. Very relaxed vibe and free beer when you come in. They do a healthy amount of business though so make sure to make an appointment (I recommend Lisa). If you need a shave, they have a machine that keeps hot steam on your face while they straight razor shave. Didnt know my face could feel that smooth.
This is my favorite spot by far for a haircut. Lisa and her staff are always awesome and know exactly how to get the most out of my hair.Prices are fair and I would suggest anyone to go to them. Plus I appreciate the complimentary beer. Always a nice treat.I get asked all of the time who cuts my hair and Im always happy to tell them.
Derrick took his time and delivered an extraordinary experience! Full service with shave at very fair price!
One of the coolest barber shops I’ve been to! I went a couple of weeks ago to see Kenny, who gave me the best hair cut I’ve ever had.
Heard about this place from a friend, so I decided to give it a try because I wasnt happy with my current barber.This place is awesome. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere was really laid back and inviting. I honestly couldve stayed there all day chatting it up with the staff. They were all great. They also have a full bar in the back so you can drink and play pool while you wait.Lisa cut my hair and she did an amazing job. She did exactly what I asked for with no problems. Im a female with a mens cut and a lot of barbers dont know how to shape it properly around my neck. Lisa had no problem whatsoever. I will definitely be back.
Honestly the best haircut I have ever had. Its very hard to find a place thats operating at such a high level of professionalism with out all the snoody attitudes. The staff here is so down to earth you would think its just another corner barber shop. However the stylists here are very skilled and demonstrate such technique you will think your in L.A. or NYC.
Michael gives awesome fades. Nice and friendly people
Love the way Lauren did the hubbys hair. She was super nice and chatty with both of us. Most ladies only talk to the hubby and forget the missus is in too. Anyways she did his hair and wasnt afraid to mess with it. We love the shop!
I can’t speak highly enough about Ybor City barbering! I have been going to Lisa the owner for my haircut for over 7 yrs and would never go anywhere else!! The staff, the environment, the vibe is so chill and relaxed and Lisa only hires the best barbers in the City !!! Verified Fire 🔥💯
I’ve been here 3 times and all three times they were phenomenal. The barbers were professional, skilled and listened to what I wanted. Recommended!
First time going to a Barber.Really had a good time and came out of there looking dapper. Very friendly staff who enjoy there skill set, movies on the flat screen. Great experience!
Nicole did a excellent job. She is polite and very attentive to detail. She cuts both my wife and my hair regularly. They offer you a drink and provide great service in general.
Best place to go for a great haircut while having a great time. My brother took me here and she did a wonderful job! Will be back soon🙂🙂🙂 Thanks Annie😘
Every time I go in here its the best haircut Ive ever gotten. The staff is so awesome I genuinely look forward to not only an awesome haircut, but just hanging out and enjoying the fun and hip atmosphere. Easily the best barber shop in the Tampa area.
First time there and was given Derrick as a barber. If you want a Maestro with a straight razor Derrick is your man. Superb haircut and service. Will be back again and again.
Booked Nicole & Pablo for the first time & theyre great. Phenomenal stylists.Thanks #YborCityBarbering you all rock..
Michael is an amazingly talented barber 💈. The entire staff is wicked friendly. I highly recommend YCBC 💈.
We had our first experience at this barber shop this past weekend! The atmosphere was up beat and the people where amazing!!! Annie cut our kids hair and did a Fantastic Job! We will definitely be going back and highly recommend Annie for hair cuts!!!
Legit the best, most comfortable place I’ve gotten a haircut. Love all the staff, especially Lauren. Will be coming back for a long while
Hands down the best barber in Tampa Bay. Tight fades, perfect styling, amazing atmosphere. Beer, Britney Spears and a perfect haircut....what more does one need?! Highly recommended! Props, Lisa and Lauren!
Best barbershop I have ever been to. Had a straight shave and barely felt the razor, awesome equipment,people and atmosphere. Oh and mikes singing really makes the place fun!
I stopped in here once awhile back when I had confused my appointment time with my normal barber In the area and had to get a trim before going out of town. Nicole squeezed me in and delivered. Sadly, I recently found myself in need of new regular barber. I went back to Nicole and she delivered a top shelf cut and sick beard trim that gathered a lot of compliments, an honestly inordinate amount. I have found my new place.If you want a better-than-the-rest cut, save the trouble and go here. Definitely the best of old-school and new put together.
LC is the best !
Very kind staff, super relaxed environment and near private experience. Complimentary drinks and other stuff. Most importantly, hair cuts are finely done.
This place is a great but slightly pricey barbershop. The barbers and folks that work there have great personalities and are easy to carry on a conversation with. The inclusion of a bar in the back is a cool concept, and works well if you decide to make an event out of your barber trip.
Solid place. As hipster as it gets. Good beer excellent service. Got an outstanding head shave and beard gromming. Make sure to make an appointment.
Clean cuts and great conversation. Popped in while visiting from out of town and I was not disappointed. Highly recommend.
The best barber shop in Tampa with the most eclectic staff and if dare say the best barber in Tampa in Pablo!
This is my go-to barber!! Superior haircuts that surpass any chain Ive been to. Lisa, Lauren, and their staff are wonderful and you cant help but love them and their quirky shop! Lastly, they have a wonderful, cozy lounge while you wait (which wont be long).
Great place. I love the decor, vintage art & furniture. Haircut was on point and loved the shampoo finish.
Most of the men I train with (in boxing and lifting) get their hair cut here. You can get a beer or wine while you are waiting. The staff here is awesome so I love waiting for my boyfriend while he is getting his haircut and it always comes out great
People are cool here and place has a good vibe. Bonus, they give good haircuts. Ive been to 3 of their barbers and always god a good haircut. Free drinks too!
Best cuts and beard trims ..along with a complimentery libation!
Great Barber Shop In Tampa. Got my cut with El Chapo and love the complementary Beer or Wine & Hair Wash in the end. The people are layback and real cool. Definitely book with El Chapo!
Amazing! Best haircut that my wife ever got. They did an impeccable job. We are both very, very impressed. Highly recommended.
Good
Great vibe, great haircut...and they have beer. Derrick is great
Really bad skin fade.I asked for a skin fade, and the barber faded it to a zero, not skin. I asked her to shave it down to skin, and she left a clear line all around my head. I asked her to fix it, so after 15 minutes it looked just as bad.The staff were really friendly, but my haircut was terrible.
So about a month ago. i called in and made an appointment. Being my first time, i was told that house rules for appointments are to leave a debit card on file. In case i didnt happen to show up they would charge me a certain amount. so i gave them my card. I showed up for my appointment. somehow i was double charged 2 different amounts (as you can see in the photos) i let it slide and didnt say anything about it because i was told it would go back into my card. which never happened. i was going to let it go and move on until 2 days ago. i got an email saying that my card was swiped multiple times after. i dont know what you guys are trying to pull here BUT i will never go back. the whole experience was just an inconvenience. i will be looking for a new barbershop to go to.
In town for a few weeks and dropped in for a quick haircut. Dereck was professional and his attention to detail is second to none. If I lived here...Dereck would be my go to barber! Book with Dereck and you wont be disappointed. Bonus- the shop is funky...in a good ybor way and they give you beers 🍺
Got my first haircut at Tampa here. Very laid back atmosphere, and the staff are friendly, knowledgable and all around seem to love what theyre doing.
