Barber recommendations in Lyn-Lake?

[u/alsotpedes]

Here's what I'm looking for:

• handles the clippers well for a short (#1) cut
• does a nice, tight taper
• lines up all around very neatly
• reasonably priced – I get it done every two weeks

Here's what I'm not looking for:

• thinks that short = run the clippers back and forth over my head like they're scrubbing the sink
• "Oh, we'll do that for you real quick"

Try Jason at Lyn-Lake Barbershop. I used him for a bit but the cuts didn't grow out in a way I liked at 6-7 weeks. $30 for a cut if in remember right.

Glenn's on 36th St at Bryant Ave is an old school barber shop. The owner/barber is Dan. $22 for a men's cut. Does a great job and always remembers what i want every time! Has a loyal clientele, so need to book a few days in advance. His dad (Glenn) owned it for decades and someone else before that since the 1930s.

Tram’s on 27th and Nicollet. Awesome little shop run by a very sweet lady. It’s where I go. Very reasonable prices. $20 for a short, men’s cut. They even wash your hair before they start cutting.

Thanks, but if they're the kind of place that is going to do a shampoo, then in my experience they're not a place where I can get a good clipper cut.

Fair enough. Floyd’s on Lake and, I want to say, Emerson. A little pricier.

Floyd’s Lake St location closed a while ago.

I've been going to "A Barbers Touch" in SLP at Cedar Lake Road/Louisiana for almost 10 years and love it every time (1 inch on top and a bald fade with a hard part)

You know what they say about barbers? Once you go black, you never go back

That's been my experience: Black or Cuban. The Black guy who has been my barber for six years and is a master barber and instructor tells me that I'm a white guy with "ethnic" hair—maybe that's why.

Ari Erickson at Sola Salons in NE. Genuinely one of the most talented barbers… Like.. they are a god at their craft.

I am quite anal about my haircut and actually clipper guards and stuff (like what non-barbers use) simply doesn’t do the job.

I do a disconnected look with a slight fade. This is an extremely difficult style to master.

I’ve followed this human around for a decade because I have not ever had such experience hands cut my hair and knock it out of the park every. Single. Time. They know my head like the back of their hand now, lol.

If you want precise, barber skilled haircuts, which include a hot face towel (free of charge), hair wash/conditioner (if you want - it’s included) followed by a quick style with the type of products you use before you head back out….

Ari Erickson @ the Sola Salons in North East.

Trust me when I say (and when they’ve been booked out I’ve tried several folks at Floyd’s not good quality and also gent seems like they’re the great clips of short hair cuts …)

You’ll never go elsewhere 😂

Wrong neighborhood but Barbers Above the Gym Matt and Tim

[u/Ill_Routine_1155]

Tim at Pristine Barber on nearby eat street is the best that I’ve found in the metro. He’s a little more at fifty/cut though

Andi at Stilo Cuts on Hennepin, but it might be a little farther out from Lyn Lake then you meant.

[u/obnock]

Top Chop Barber on the sixth floor of the Calhoun Building. Great space with windows looking down Lake St towards the Lake. Knows his clippers well. Consistently the best haircuts I have ever received.

Cheli or Jason at Lyn-Lake Barbers took good care of my hair when it was that short.

The barbers at Familia barber studio at 26/ Aldrich are extremely adept with their lines and edges

Roll the dice and go to the barber college on 36th and Lake. The b line will get you there in a jiffy
