Greg Zrust St. Pauls Master Barber

Simply put Greg is an excellent barber, fun conversation and willing to go the distance to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for! Wish more businesses were as hard working and dedicated as this one!

I moved back to MN a year ago and found Greg. My hair is difficult because I have a number of cowlicks that result in my head looking as if it got ran over by a lawn mower if not handled properly. Greg has a done a wonderful job with my hair so far and is worth every penny! He is also great with trimming my beard. He also does some fancy moves like thinning it when it becomes too thick and blending when it it jumps from one size to another. Lets face it, a lot of men, such as myself, don’t know the proper barber terminology, or even which type of haircut we want going in. He knows what styles are «in». .. maybe to women or the gay community he could even pass off as a stylist. Or maybe he is a stylist and barber, and I just don’t know it. Terminology aside, all I can say is that I am glad I found Greg, he is a true master of his craft!

Great job from Greg. He’s friendly and a great beard trimmer! I called a day ahead to get a reservation, which is recommended. He is easy and quick to respond to texts also. He will trim your beard, but doesn’t shave. The shop is nice, but the street is a little busy, so go slow or you’ll miss it.

Solid cut! Definitely the best haircuts I have received in a long time and it was exactly what I wanted. Greg is easy to talk to as well so it was easy to get the haircut I was looking for.

Found Greg on Unilocal looking for some help trimming the beard and looking for an updated style. Greg is awesome! Best haircut and beard trim I’ve ever gotten. He knows style and stays up to date with latest trends. Also have some great tips about how to style my specific hair type, and tips on how to trim/​style my beard. If you have hair somewhere on your head, go to Greg.

He has a great eye and I always trust him to give me a well-​styled cut. He is also entertaining. He looked at my curly hair and asked, «What are ya’? Irish? Jewish?» I also told him I cut my own hair and that it looked like you-​know what. Greg said, «Umm… yep.»

It was my first hair cut in over ten years. I got my hair trimmed and my beard groomed. And they did a great job. I’m very pleased and I would recommend this to any men for beard or hair maintenance.

If you have a beard and go anywhere other than Greg, you are doing it wrong! People drive over 2 hours to get their beard trimmed from this man’s golden hands. He realizes that you don’t want a chin strap and a straight cut trimmed look (you classic bearders). He also seems like quite the master at cuts as well. Highly recommended, well deserved the name «Master Barber.»

I found Greg through Unilocal and could not be more pleased with his work. I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for a couple of years now and finally found a barber whom I trust to get my haircut right every time. Great personality, good price for the service and quality, centrally located in Highland Park. What more can you ask for?

Great haircut and beard trim, reasonable pricing, I got in and out in no time and convenient off street parking lot. What more could you ask for?

How ’bout a review of the photo shoot? While not obsessed with razored side parts or slick combed back for every client, this barber seems to be a sound, sensible, creative barber with a stylist’s sensibilities. Good for him! It isn’t Costa Mesa, nor is it Brooklyn, but it’s damned good work, keyed to his clients’ facial characteristics and (I suspect) their requests. I’ll bet they’re «pleased as punch» to have him as their barber!!!

Greg is where I send my husband and son when they need to «clean up nice.» He’s the perfect hybrid of barber and stylist. When my husband and son come out of the chair, it’s like an extreme makeover. He takes care of all the details that the big chains overlook.
Greg has a great personality, the ideal bedside manner for a stylist. And tech savvy? He’s all about setting appointments by text. Love that! He even takes a picture of the client with his iPhone and adds them to his contact database so he can remember the cut and any other details. That is the kind of customer service I love to see!

I found Greg on Unilocal; Thank you Unilocal!
I’m a bald guy so you may wonder why I need a barber? Just so happens Greg is a fantastic beard trimmer. I found Greg by searching on beard trim and he was the first to pop up. Greg’s place of work is a 15 mile drive for me, he’s that good that!
Outside of his workmanship he’s not overly verbose nor under, just like Goldilocks he’s just right… pun intended!
Greg’s pricing is super reasonable; seriously, 8 bucks for a beard trim… Really, that’s cheap. I always pay him $ 16 to show him how much I appreciate his fine work… I feel like I’m still not paying enough.
So to all who come across my review, Fear not, Greg is here, he’ll take your beard scraggle or locks despair away!!!
THANKS GREG!!!

My fiancé’s regular hairstylist could not take him on a short notice so we researched and found Greg. My fiancé was a little hesitant since Greg wasn’t his regular hairstylist but we decided to trust the reviews here and go.
And what do you think??? Not only Greg gave my fiancé a great haircut, he was BETTER than the hairstylist my fiancé went to for the past two years!
Unilocal rocks! Thank you reviewers for recommending Greg. It’s too bad we will be moving out of state soon.

Greg Zrust — Long Beard Trim and Haircut
I went to Greg Zrust to get my 14 month beard trimmed for the first time. This is my first beard and 14 months was a long commitment, I wanted to leave it to a professional. After talking with Greg for a few minutes I knew I could trust that my beard was in good hands.
I wanted to leave a decent amount of length but clean it up. Greg did just that. He worked very carefully to trim out excess beard hair from under my chin and shaped it nicely. I left looking great, in fact, I had a job interview the next day which I got an offer for. He also cut my hair which looks great.
You can really tell Greg is a great guy and likes doing what he’s doing. He was very thorough and took his time to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely be going back for future trims. I enjoyed my experience and the conversation. See ya next time.

Friendly and a great haircut!

Wow…
As a 27yr old, it had been approximately 22yrs since I had last been to a barber — I remember my Dad taking me to an old-man’s barber shop when I was 5, but apparently I’ve been missing out.
Stopped in for a «clean up» trim, as I had an interview coming up and was exceedingly pleased with the entire experience. Greg talks to you like a real person — not fake barber shop chatter. Asking what my hair-​style preferences were, he actually took the time to ask, listen and give some advice on what type of hairstyle would work best for me. Very cool. Like the other reviews have said — like a barber and stylist rolled in to one.
Full shampoo, conditioner, cut, neck and sideburn trim with a straight blade razor, which was awesome.
Also — can I just say… you know how usually when you get a haircut, your neck itches like crazy the rest of the day, and you find hairs stuck in your ears and on your forehead and in awkward places? How you just want to shower to get rid of all of them? NO ITCHING. Greg used this pre-​wrap type of neck wrap thing, which completely caught the hairs — no loose towel here. So nice.
Is it a little more expensive than a chain? Yeah, but he seems like a local guy making good — you’d pay a little more for a burger and fries at a local diner than you would at McDonalds, wouldn’t you?
I’m heading back for sure.

I’ve been going to see Greg for haircuts for just about a year now. I always come away looking good. His prices are very reasonable considering the quality. Highly recommend especially for young professional men like myself.

Greg is a reliable and talented hair stylist. *Very* accommodating to my schedule, great results, and worth the money. I never feel rushed, and always feel like I got a great cut. I’m not usually one to be a big chatter with the barber, but he’s also very personable and enjoyable to chat with.
I first found him almost randomly when I moved to the area years ago, and he has been my only haircutter since.

Got a great haircut. Greg has a nice balance between a barber and a stylist. It is great for a man who actually likes more than a buzz when he gets his haircut. I feel like a have a great haircut that is also got some style. I will definitely go back.
