Reviews of Lyn-Lake Barbershop (Barber Shop)

Chad Warren

Favorite place to go to. Get to kick back, talk with some quality guys and get the ol' beard and hair trimmed up.

Jayson is swell

Brett Hebert

$18 for a men's haircut, and a great one at that. I think this is the best price/service combination you can ask for in the city - Jayson is great!

Had the WORST experience at this barbershop! Not only did the hair cut look like a dog chewed my boyfriends' hair and is irreparable (he needs a hat at this point! I could've done a better job with a youtube tutorial an my teeth!). But I was not even able to get a refund. Instead I had to call three days in a row, leave a message to the so called Barber. Three days later I get my phone call returned by the "barber" Cheli, who yelled at me pretending she never knew him, or cut his hair, wow great response Cheli ! Worst experience ever! Avoid this place at all cost!! For the same price, you can go to a variety of other shops where barbers know what they are doing. LynLake, a note on customer care: if you mess up someones' hair beyond repair, have the decency to APOLOGIZE, acknowledge your mistake and return the money! Yelling at someone and questioning if they ever showed up to your shop is despicable.

I was a terrible experience. My first answer was: do you know cut this kind of hair! She: sure!

Gayle Astleford

Jason is the best!

Rahman Monzur

Very good personality and professionalism

Taylor Budd

This is my go to place for hair cuts. I get a cut 1-2 times per month by Jake and it looks fantastic every time.

Gabe cuts my hair here. Only place I've ever been were I didn't hate the way I looked for the first few days after getting a new cut.

Cheli Aguilar

Wonderful people..good vibes..great hair cuts

rushaan kumar

That's right, google. I HATED lynlake barbershop. Specifically, Cheli. She has zero skills with clippers. She literally does not even know how to hold them, forget work them on anyone's hair. My haircut is the most uneven and misshapen thing that's ever been on my head. And to top it all, she's rude AF. PLEASE do yourself a favor and never get your hair cut by Cheli, especially if you have short hair. EVER.

Moved to Minneapolis last month and found this place on Google. Thought I'd give it a shot. Gabe was awesome. You can't beat the pricing at $15 (cash) + tip and the staff is really friendly. The shop has an old barber shop feel, which is great. My only complaint is that there wasn't much parking, but that's not a huge deal.

David Hovis

Friendly barbers and good haircuts

Alex Driessen

I was never loyal to any place until I found Lyn-Lake!! Jayson easily understands what I want, and I ALWAYS receive compliments for weeks after a cut! Amazing barbershop!

Paul M

Engaging conversations, great haircut

Marty Blaber

Trendy cuts at a great price

Gladys Borg

I just started coming here when I moved to the area and Jayson is the best! I am a butch lesbian so I always have problems going to barbershops and dealing with weird comments about women, assumptions that I am a little boy, etc. but this place is nothing like that! I love chatting with him and he's just the best, not to mention I get an amazing haircut every time I go in.

Andrew Heisz

Daniel Was amazing! Super great at fades.

Angela Greenlay

Reluctantly tagged along with my partner for her haircut...came out with a brand new style that I absolutely LOVE! Cheli is amazing! She really pays attention to what you want but isn't afraid to make suggestions. She is very open to feedback and absolutely wants to make sure you leave happy. As a bonus, Lola is adorable! (Chihuahua that is always with Cheli). I have truly never been this happy with a haircut experience. Thanks Cheli!

jared haberer

Worst haircut I've had in over a decade...maybe they should put some light in the back room where they cut and try not hiring a part time psychic to butcher hair. Will not be going back ever.

Mr. H20

Good barbershop also a styling location for women as well.

brandon

Heck yea, the J Mascis lookalike dude is awesome!

Robert Rogers

Gabby is fantastic! Best cut Every time!

Joshua Ellingson

Great place. Small warm friendly. Experienced hairdressers. Gabe does an awesome cut.

David Herron

This place is consistently fantastic!I Cheli cuts my hair. I generally go for a pretty standard haircut, and she has a way of making it unique and personal. I've been going here for close to 4 years and have never been disappointed.

JJ Cutuli

This is a good barbershop. They used to have some barbers in the back that were a bit full of themselves and sometimes turned the discussion to topics that made me uncomfortable, but those guys are long gone.

Josephine Owens

Jason is the best! My son loves coming here. My husband who has little hair also appreciates Jason's work.

Max Karno

Cheli is INCREDIBLE

Patrick Buckvold

Warning: they will not honor your appointment if a walk-in they know gets there before you. What’s the point of taking appointments? Cheli booked me for an appointment at 1pm, I got there at 12:50 but I got there after a walk-in, someone she knew first name basis. Instead of keeping her word, she took the took the walk-in before me and assured me it wouldn’t be long. As if I don’t know most haircuts will take at least 30 minutes. Thanks for wasting my time.

Mohiuddin Quadri

This place is great! I’ve been here three times and have always been satisfied with the results. Jake does an excellent job and he’s very conversational as well. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to get a haircut!

Matt Cohen

I had a great haircut here from cheli.

JT Crepps

Great prices. Excellent haircuts

Kelley Dinsmore

Cheli is fantastic and so is Lola ;) !!!! Great haircut, from a super nice person, at a reasonable price. Thanks Cheli!

Victor Wong

I'm so glad I went and saw Gabe. My friend always gets complimented on his haircuts so I asked him where he went, he recommended Gabe. I went to see Gabe and he totally put me at ease. I didn't know what I wanted and I let him work his magic since. It is such an amazing deal for how much care and effort he puts into my hair. I will never go anywhere else and have recommended it to every guy I know! Give him a try, bring cash, be prepared for the compliments to come rolling in.

Melissa Burner

I love this barbershop. Cheli has cut my hair for last 4 years. When folks on my Facebook asks for hair cutting recommendations, I always recommend LynLake. They recently hired a third barber for the shop again. I love reserving my appointment via their website.

Chris Roghair

All the stylists do an excellent job!

Anthony K

Great vibe and awesome cut. Easy to book an appointment on the web site.

Duccio Mondanelli

My favorite barbershop. If you're in uptown and need a cut, this is the place to go!!!

Paul Janssen

Gayest place I've been to in years. Love my haircut. I liked listening to gossip about people I don't know . If you go, make an appointment.

Christian Wilkie

I've tried a lot of barbershops and haircut places in the Uptown area. Lyn-Lake Barbershop has three things that push them over the top: 1) they're reliable—no surprise wait times when you've made an appointment; 2) they're friendly—they provide lighthearted and engaging conversation, and they'll remember you; 3) they are competitively priced. No matter who's behind the scissors, I always get a nice, stylish cut that behaves for weeks.

Today was my first time at Lyn-Lake Barber Shop and I was very disappointed. Their website says walk-ins are welcome and this is why I chose the shop. During the cut my stylist Gabriel was hostile towards me when I explained my preference to walk-in verse making an appointment. He suggested I go to Great Clips in the future. At one point I told Gabriel to stop ‘lecturing me’ as I am not five years old and I understand he wants customers to make appointments. The cut was good and the price fair but the experience overall terrible. I did not feel welcome at all, which is unfortunate for me as I live a few blocks away and the shop would be convenient.

Alex Frecon

The last time I got a real shave I was left with a small scar, so you best BELIEVE I was nervous to try it again. I spent a full day researching online. Each time, Lyn-Lake was ranked within the top 3 for barbers, and at a fraction of the cost. As such, I decided to give it a try. Gabe delivered. 100%. Great haircut and a better shave. It was one of those perfect moments when a consumer was blown away by the service. This is that spot. I'll be coming back.

David Simonson

Gabe did an amazing job on my hair. Treat yourself to this top notch barber shop. A++ Thank you guys!

Mitchell Campbell

This place is awesome. Easy to walk in and be in the chair within 5 minutes, great cut, unbelievable price, and the staff are positively delightful. Cheli gave me her cell phone number so I could give her a heads up if I was in the area and needed a touch up. All-around A+ experience.

blsetter

Great cut by Gabe. He took his time and made sure all lines were precise. Old school barber vibe with an uptown feel. I wasn't a fan of the tiny dog walking around which I assume is always going to be around because I think it belonged to the female employee. It would bark and I would jump every time. Luckily Gabe wasn't mid razor cut when I would jump. I will be back for sure. Gabe gives a great cut for a great price.

Ben MacKinney

Cheli grave gave me a great haircut! I noticed she paid attention to detail and was very meticulous at all stages whether free handing with the buzzer or snapping away at the top with scissors. The warm straight edge razor touch up at the end was a nice surprise. Cheli said, "I looooove of cutting hair!", and you can tell

Andrew Stevens

Total pros. You know a person is a master of their art when you can vaguely describe what you want and they get it perfect.

Anthony Tuel

Cheli is awesome! This haircut and price blows any other Minneapolis barber shop I’ve been to out of the water. Will gladly keep going back.

Robert Langley

nice people, but a really bad haircut overall. A week later and its even worse than it was at first--debunking the myth that the difference between a good/bad haircut is just a few days, LOL. Not going back.

Jens Holmboe

Cheli gave me a very poor hair cut. It was very disappointing.

Jeremy Thackett

Good staff and even better haircut! I love coming here. The girl that cut my hair actually listened to what I wanted and made me comfortable before she began working. I am really pleased with my haircut. Thanks again.

Michael Baporis

Good experience and fair price ($15) for mens cut. Bring cash. Was very pleased with my haircut after leaving.

I went to Lyn Lake Barbers today and Danny HOOKED ME UP!!! I mean I've been to hundreds of barbers in my life time but have never had anyone take such good care and time on me... he was very personable, respectful, and I really enjoyed recieving services from Danny. He also made me feel like more then just another head of hair to cut... Thank you Danny... I strongly and highly recommend, when you visit Lyn Lake Barbers... ASK 4 DANNY!!!

John Montgomery

Been back in the Twin Towns for about a year and I've struggled to find a decent haircut without killing my pocketbook....Got an unbelievable scissor cut from Jayson. You can tell he has years of experience. He is absolutely precise and meticulous about his cuts and for $15 bucks.. I'm going back indeed!

George Kell

I dig the interior and the staff are solid. Great haircuts for a fair price.
