Mike’s Barber Shop

This was a wonderfully pleasant visit to a barber shop!
Ron was the barber for the day, and he greeted us the moment we walked in the door. We only waited a few moments before he was ready for my husband.
During the cut, he made pleasant conversation and did a great job, always making sure he was cutting my husband’s hair the way he wanted it.
I wish he was in Pittsburgh!

I highly recommend this place. Ron, the partner of Mike, is a pro. He has been in the business for a while. From the first time and he was able to give the cut I want! He is pleasant and the place is neat and the people who go there are very respectful.

Great first experience. Nice and friendly. Took the time to make sure it was right. Will go back.

Never knew I could have such an enjoyable experience while getting my hair cut, but Ron did just that for me. Luckily Ron works 5 days a week, so chances are he can do that for u too. I’m not a conesure when it comes to barbers, but I do know I would return.

Ron & Mike are the best! This is a good, old fashioned, neighborhood barbershop, not the hipster imitation. Very friendly but also very efficient. Just because they engage with their customers in conversation doesn’t mean that they aren’t getting the job done in a timely fashion. So even if there is a wait, things generally move along pretty quickly. They do all the beard and mustache trimming and shave your neck, all at a very reasonable price. I enjoyed their service for the past couple of years. Due to a recent move, I’ll sure miss them.

I went to Mike’s today because he had 5 stars on Unilocal.He is friendly and did a good job.

On my first visit to Mike’s barbershop I got a beard trim and a little bit off the top from Ron. Ron is a nice guy and a great barber. I was satisfied with the outcome being a first time customer and because it was my first time Ron only charged me for a beard trim as a nice gesture. I’ll def be returning for another cut soon.

Don’t think I’ll be coming back, its a nice place don’t get me wrong. Not a huge fan of Ron, he gets a little creepy sometimes, plus he tried to sell me a couch shaped as lips.

Nice down to earth barbershop. Got a great haircut from Ron. It was my first time here but was made to feel like one of the regulars. Definitely found my new go to place for haircuts!

Plain and simple I have been going to see mike since I was 10 – 11 yrs old now I’m in my mid 20’s recently mike brought on Ron which is one cool old dude !! Both of them are polite have great attitude and most importantly THEY HAVE SKILL !! Very professional down to earth guys that get the job done Ron has been cutting my hair perfectly the way I have been wanting it to obtain a short to medium length pompadour and he’s doing a great job !!!

Ron is great. He greets everyone when they walk in the door and makes sure everyone knows he’s happy you’re there. The other barber and owner’s name is Mike, but he wasn’t in when I visited. The place is a pretty straight forward barber shop with no frills and no appointments needed. Ron checked with me a couple of times during my haircut to make sure everything was to my liking. He even trimmed up my neckline with a straight razor at the end to make sure I had a very clean and polished look. It was only $ 15 + tip (cash only), so it was a steal compared to the $ 31 salon I had previously been going to. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve become a regular here after Mike offered me a donut as I waited! This is a classic barbershop — 2 old guys love cutting hair. Period. I always like to support the town I live in and it doesn’t get more local than this place! The only downfall is the wait time can be long, but who wants their barber speeding through their haircut anyways! Relax. Bring a book. It’s an experience. Oh and it’s only $ 15!

One week living in Ohio and I needed a haircut. I followed Unilocal’s advice and tried Mike’s.
Thank you, Unilocal.
Barber Ron was gracious, professional, engaging, and focused on me and my hair and nothing else.
The“else” was the friendly, witty, and informative patrons who made the time fly, introducing me –a newcomer– to life in Lakewood and Cleveland: sports, beer, history, and much more.
I plan to return.

Always a great haircut from Mike. Sunday hours make it all-​the-​more convenient

I had went to Mike’s a few times to have my beard straightened and trimmed up with no issues. However today I went for the usual beard trim and came out with the sides of my hair looking terrible. I hadn’t even asked for a haircut and somehow the sides of my hair by my ears got cut off about two inches and weren’t even level with one another. I’m not even sure why he would touch my hair when I simply wanted my beard lines brought up and beard length brought in tighter to my face. I ended up having to immediately go somewhere for a hair cut and the girl who cut my hair asked «What happened?» because it looked that horrible. He didn’t even mention he had touched my hair or apologize.

Haircuts are $ 15 and worth it. Before even starting the haircut, Ron asked me if I had any special requests. Once he finished my hair he asked me if the top was short enough and if I wanted to fade up higher. I was glad he asked because I wanted to go shorter and kick the fade up a tad higher. Once he finished again, he asked the same questions; this time, the fade was good, but I still wanted to go shorter. He was patient and professional. Ron also asked me if I wanted a straight razor cut on the back of my neck and a line up around the ears, which I haven’t had in about 10 years. Ron spent a good deal of time making sure my hair was just the way I wanted it.
They really do care about their customers. They have excellent customer service. I plan on going here now instead of Great Clips. I prefer to support small independent businesses whenever I can. Mike’s Barber Shop has my support now.

This is a great barber shop to go to. The guys are very friendly and the place is very relaxed. As one reviewer pondered if they were closed. The answer is that they are definitely not closed, they are open every day but Wednesday. However, the phone number listed on Unilocal is no longer working. Highly recommended!!!

Mike’s place doesn’t need my review. He’s been there 40 years.
However, when I was there, I mentioned that I found them on Unilocal — and that I would add another 5-​star rating. BTW: these guys had no idea what Unilocal was — which was pretty much a great reason to go there to begin with ;) … that said, they were very happy to hear that they received good reviews.
So here’s my 3 cents; in case you’re like me and want to know what to expect from people that will be wielding very sharp objects near your temples:
A barber shop is primarily about cleaning up your mug, lid, noggin, scalp, and whatever hair happens to be above your shoulders right? … Kinda … but for men I also think it is a good excuse to get away from it all for a little while — drop the weed-​wacker and head to the modest little oasis on Madison Ave … Mike’s.
Nothing fancy here. A few sport caps on the wall, a quiet TV, some magazines, some random artworks and photos — each of which has a purpose or story (just ask), and 2 really busy bird-​feeders just outside the window. A nice serene display to watch as you lower your ears a bit. The place is clean and welcoming for sure.
You can choose between Mike and Ron. That’s it. They are each there 5 days a week — and the only day no one is there is Wednesday. Enough said. Ron opened up first when I was there and he did a great job. 15 $ and I tipped him $ 5 since I inevitably didn’t make it too easy on him.
These guys are obviously experts and they’re willing to spend time tweaking if you request it. Not only are they great barbers, but they are great to talk to — which is exactly why I’m sure they get a steady flow of customers at any given time.
Like I said, these guys don’t need my review … but be sure to stop in to see why …
and be sure to tell them you read about them on Unilocal =))

Great place. There’s often a small line of folks waiting for haircuts here, because both barbers do a really good job. I’ve always been very happy with the haircuts I’ve gotten here, really good value for the price. They just added sunday hours, which is even more helpful, because the place can get pretty busy on saturdays.

If this place is really closed, I am about to flip out! There is no way. I seriously can’t believe it.
