Drake and the barbers at John’s are great! I’ve been taking my teen son to John’s for haircuts for years and they are always friendly, prompt and my son has always been happy with his haircuts.
Owner's response
Amy thank you so much for taking your time to let others know about Drake and the guys at the shop. We certainly do appreciate you all.

“I don’t know if I can’t do that” to a repeat of a haircut Conrad gave me 2 months ago. This dude is a doofus. Maybe you’ll have better luck with some of the other guys there, but avoid this dude. You’ve been cutting hair for over a decade, be confident in your ability to trim off an inch of hair.
Owner's response
H, sorry I just now saw this review. Conrad had been let go from the shop. I'm sorry that was your experience.

Drake does such a good job with my son! Not only does he take his time to make sure the haircut is good, he remembers and interacts with my kiddo the whole time. We have tried another barber shop in downtown LS, and will only be coming back to Johns!
Owner's response
Mallory thank you for taking the time to let others know about Johns Barber Shop and especially about Drake. We certainly appreciate you and your son.

I came to this establishment as a new client and was scheduled a haircut with Conrad. He seemed understanding of what I wanted until the cut....I asked for a fade on the sides and some texturing up top. He cut all my hair off on one side and did a comb over. Okay no worries, round 2 fix it. I scheduled another appointment to fix the hair (I was just cutting it down to a fohawk at this point. I showed up for my recut and immediately he told me he wasn't going to spend much time on it. I told him in a very professional manner that I needed my haircut redone because he didn't do what I asked. He got defensive, started arguing with me. He said I should've gone to a salon because he couldn't cut that style! (Just tell me you can't do it before you cut it then) He also kept insisting that he's never done a bad haircut....well you're wrong and he still messed up. I ended up going home and buzzing my head myself. It took me 4 months to grow out my hair that long. I even left a $10 tip for the first cut and to be treated like that afterwards is awful. 0/10 experience, don't go here unless you are getting a buzz cut but who knows Conrad might mess that one up too.

UPDATE: Again Austin was very easy to work with on this and he has received a refund.<br><br>Austin I'm truly sorry this was your experience. <br><br>I reached out to Austin and we had a good conversation about what had happened. I also offered a couple of future cuts for free as well as a refund if his last haircut, he thought he would feel uncomfortable considering the previous experience and I understand that. I did mail Austin a check and refunded his money. This clearly is not a normal experience at our shop but when something like this happens (which is extremely rare) we own up to it. <br><br>Austin thank you for being kind about everything and easy to work with.

This was my first visit, and I don't regularly go to a barber - my cuts are usually pretty basic. Negative first, I suppose. I should have booked more in advance to have more flexibility. I like that I can book an appointment ahead of time but I don't like that the booking system requires a username and password. Why everything needs an account these days is beyond me.. Anyway, he shaved between my eyebrows which I absolutely hated. I didn't realize what he was doing until it was too late; hoping a unibrow doesn't develop now. He also hit the hairs on and around my ears, and I try to take care of those myself. Now I know for my next barber visit to instruct them not to do these things ahead of time. On the plus side, the price was great, especially compared to some of these other shops that seem to be trying to sell an experience. I just want to get in and get my hair cut, and if that's what you're looking for then you've found a good spot! I may visit again next time I need a real haircut, especially if my wife thinks the cut looks good.
Owner's response
Thank you for your review Matt! He probably should have asked before automatically assuming you wanted everything cleaned up. We have received the opposite reactions from people too. They can’t understand why we don’t take care of those hairs in the ears and clean up the eyebrows. Probably a generational thing as this shop serves toddlers to 100 year old men. We strive to set ourselves from the rest and greatly appreciate your feedback. We look forward to seeing you in the shop again and hope the misses enjoyed the cut as much as you did!

Had my first appointment with Edwin today and had a great experience. He followed specific instructions and met them superbly. I think I've finally found my permanent barber which has been a struggle over the last 7.5 years.
Owner's response
Brad, thank you for the well written review. We sure do appreciate you taking your time to let others know of your experience at our shop and with Edwin.

My old barber retired a few years ago. I've been subjecting myself to the hack jobs at the quick/cheap hair places. I went to see Brett the Barber at John's, and got a fantastic haircut! They take a full 30 minutes, and the results are outstanding. I will be back.
Owner's response
Richard, thank you for coming in and thank you for taking time out of your day to let others know about your experience at our shop. We look forward to seeing you next time and hopefully many more times being that.

I have been happily coming here for over a year now, unfortunately today was the last day. 2 weeks ago I had scheduled a haircut, but due to circumstances from my job, I was unable to make it in. I had forgotten to cancel the appointment, which is my mistake. No intentional malice, life simply got busier than I had anticipated. Well I was able to reschedule for today and made it for my usual cut. However, I could tell the overall experience was subpar this time around. I ignored it, not the end of the world. The true 1 star experience came when it was time to pay. My haircut costs $25 and I always tip $10, as normally my experience is great. As I finished paying, my barber made a face and told me, normally when people skip an appointment, they compensate their barber by tipping an additional $25 and then some to cover the missed appointment. My barber also found it rude apparently that I did not formally apologize for the missed appointment. I found this confusing considering I had apologized at the beginning of the haircut for missing my appointment 2 weeks ago, and figured it wasn’t that big of a deal. But to demand that I compensate you for that is ridiculous. Tipping is a courtesy and I could happily not tip at all. But if it truly is such a great offense that my life got unexpectedly busy and I missed an appointment, and I don’t pay you more money for a haircut I never received, then I simply won’t make any more appointments, and take business elsewhere. Long story short, if you make an appointment, you better not miss it, cause the barbers here will take it VERY personally.
Owner's response
Tristan, I spoke with your barber today after seeing this review so I'm now updating it. He said that he never mentioned a dollar amount to you but only mentioned that some people add something extra in for missing their appointments. He also said that wasn't your first no-show and/or late cancellation and he removed them due to you being a good customer and he didn't want the system to lock you out like it does after 3 such incidents. He also said that you didn't receive subpar service and you tipped him $10.00 like you always do and I wouldn't think that you would tip him at all if you were unhappy with the cut and/or service especially if you had decided that you weren't coming back again. I certainly know in the car business people will leave a bad review and it's never their fault either but always the salesman, I'm sure you have seen that too.<br><br>I will say that when we are usually fully booked for the day (like most days) it does cost the barbers money each and everytime that there is a no-show, that is not a spot that can be filled at the last minute and they can't take care of their families or pay their bills on no-shows. Many shops make people put in their credit card information and pay a no-show fee, we have chosen no to do that at this point but it is being considered.<br> <br>I never like to see any customer leave the shop with anything but a great experience but we can't control all aspects of the business and we can't afford multiple no-shows and last second cancellations even from repeat customers.

The barbers are always friendly and accommodating. Jim is the best of the best and had been cutting hair for decades. Conrad is the newest but has been there for a few years now and has truly taken to the craft. The environment is always friendly and you will always walk out with a smile after a great clean up with their straight razors. I highly recommend but remember to set an appointment right now s they are extremely busy.
Owner's response
Chase thank you for the great rating and especially thank you for your business. We look forward to serving you for years to come.
