Bob's Barber Shop - Gainesville, Florida

Frank Rizzo

This is a great barber shop. The guy is very nice and he does an excellent job. My hair never looked better. Plus it's in a beautiful, vintage, Spanish style brick building with a nice view of birds and trees outside when you're in there. I went there for the first time a few weeks ago and I'll be back.

Great haircuts for $20. All 3 barbers are great, but I like Doug when he is available. We have compared notes on everything from fried cheese sticks to Ego yard tools. I usually leave a bit of a tip and walk off with a piece or two of candy. 🙂

Let me start off by saying this: this place is incredible. From the staff, to the decores, and location, Bob’s Barber Shop is a great place to get your hair done properly to how you want it.

James is the one that cut my hair today and he is a very personable gentleman. He has been cutting hair at Bob’s Barber Shop since 2001. He is there Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for anybody curious. Miss Margaret (I believe she’s the owner) also does a fantastic job. She has cut my hair there before as well. I know that it is $20 for a haircut but be sure to bring cash, as credit card and debit card or not accepted. I’m not sure how much other services cost, but if you call within operating business hours Mon-Fri 08:00 -18:00, Sat. 09:00-15:00, they will gladly let you know pricing, and even book your appointment. Just give first and last name along with time (if available).

Bob’s Barber shop is located off the corner of NW. 23rd Ave. and NW. 12th St., just on the other side of the street from Wawa. They have a blue sign with barber shop on the street front so you know where to go.

Both James, Margaret, and any other staff that work there are very personable people and love to talk. They make for an excellent atmosphere inside the shop. They also have very cool decores inside the shop from a giant marlin on the wall to old golf clubs, to anything else you can think of. They even sell products for hair care and beard care.

If you’re like me and are looking for somewhere in town that truly is capable of making your haircut how YOU want it, at a very reasonable rate, Bob’s Barber Shop is the place to go. They WILL do you right.

This was the single worst haircut I’ve ever gotten. While the barber was very nice and did offer a discount, I’m scared by the experience and will need to go to another barber to follow up.

There was absolutely no knowledge of barbering displayed here and I’m pretty sure I can cut my own hair better. The fades were terribly uneven. The beard lines are none existent and what appears to be one are insanely crooked. I’ve never had this poor of a job done on me.

I love getting my hair cut here. They do an amazing job with a no hassle feel. Down to earth look and great conversation make it a better part of my day!

I used to live on the west side of town and could never find a barber that was consistent. All those chain places just never got my basic haircut right even when it was the same person. Since going to Bob’s, I’ve had each of the three barbers cut my hair and they all did a fantastic job. AND they’re consistent every time. They always provide great conversation and a friendly environment. For $20 you will not find a better haircut in the Gainesville area!

Local family-owned operated by Mom and her two sons. Very nice people and friendly I've had haircuts from both of the sun's they do a great job! The father and husband Bob was a United States honorable discharge Navy veteran.
This family continues to honor all veterans, as they give veterans a discount on Wednesday. The store is awesome and it's filled with various novelties and military memorabilia.
