Reviews of Stadium Barbers (Barber Shop)

Jake Vande Walle

Good quality barber shop. Walk ins are welcome, and they only take cash. I did not have to wait long and was very pleased with my haircut. Would return again for sure.

This place has been there for ages. Tim (?) the owner, has been there for over 30 yrs i think. All 3 cutters do a good job by me, but Holly is the best. $15, in and out, no appt needed, but they do seem to like if you call ahead and it can speed things up a bit too.

Been going here for years. Usually call ahead before I go but they can always get me in. EDIT fall 2019: change in ownership and staff here. There's only one barber left who will take walk-ins. They've upgraded the interior with TVs and are raising prices. The other barber books online only, has later hours, and I have no clue how to book him.

My entire experience with Stadium Barbers was not good. The place is not very tidy. I don't think they really make an attempt to sweep or vacuum as often as they should. When it was my turn to get my hair cut, they did not blow off the clippings off of my neck or scalp, so I left with hair inside my shirt and all over my neck. Finally, the haircut itself was not as good as I hoped for. The left side of my hair was about 1/2 of an inch longer than the right side and it looked very unprofessional Overall, this was a very unsatisfactory haircut. Don't go to Stadium Barbers if you are looking for a quality haircut.

Really friendly guys and honestly one of the best cuts I've gotten. After they use the clippers they hit the back of your neck and around your ears with a good old fashion strait shave. 5/5 no doubt.

Paul Cameron

First time customer. Friendly hairdresser, quick cut

Jacob The Jet

Always do a good job and get me in quickly

Devlin Hernke

Little bit on the expensive side, but has friendly staff.

Stadium Barbers has been my barber shop for years. A highly respected local institution that has been on Monroe St for decades - a clean shop with skilled barbers.

Chad Hladilek

Good conversation, Great hair cut and reasonably cheap.

This is your basic barber shop, not a fancy hair salon. The barbers are friendly, fast, and they do great work when you're not asking them to solve a new puzzle when cutting your hair. Walk-ins are welcome and I rarely have to wait. The price is right, the location is convenient to campus, and parking is free and easy on the nearby residential side streets. It's close to Mickies Dairy Bar and other fine restaurants, so you can get nice meal while you're at it. I enjoy the experience every time. Their Saturday hours are limited and they are often closed around holidays or when there's a home football game. It pays to call ahead.

I was perfectly polite and understanding when I couldn’t get a walk-in appointment. My common curtesy was not at all reciprocated. The man working was short with me and rude when I mentioned trying to call ahead and not being able to get through. There will absolutely not be a “next time,” not with how poorly I was treated.

The shop is not clean. The price is expensive. The barbers does their job, but are not competent. First, the shop has a weird smell. They don't sweep or vacuum as many times as they should. They don't clean up the cutters between the cuts. My shirts and undies get messy with tiny little hairs that went in during the cut. Also, the haircut itself was not as good as I hoped for. The right side of my hair was about 1/2 of an inch longer than the left side and it looked very unprofessional. I asked the barber to fix the differences, but he keeps failing. It seems like the barber is just incapable of even haircuts. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience.

Zachary Thiede

Worst Haircut I've ever had, didn't listen to a word I said, left my sideburns an inch uneven. The guy put in almost no effort and rushed through it as quick as possible. I will never be going back.

Edwin Jimenez

Horrible haircut. Now i have to let my hair grow again. Never again am i going to that place.

Tim Kalscheur

Tim has been cutting my hair since he was in barber school, always a great haircut and good entertainment.

Josh Tabor

Great place for men's haircuts! The barbers are friendly and everything (even the people) have a good, old-school feel.

Ryan Wetley

Definitely 4 stars. Some of the best barbers in Madison. My regular guy is Chuck. In other posts people complain about the service; To a lesser degree i too have seen what they see but i view these experiences through a different lense. This is a barbers shop and not a salon - Don't try to make it a salon and you have a great chance of getting a great haircut!

John Braden

Unpretentious shop and barbers, but cordial ambience and quick service.

Adam Piasecki

The haircut was fine, the price was great, and my barber was friendly. HOWEVER, when I walked into the shop, the owner (I would assume the owner) was reading a newspaper and didn't even bother to look up at me before saying, "______ will be with you shortly." Didn't even look up at me. Am I a burden on your business? Is your newspaper story that riveting? C'mon man, this is basic customer service 101. I'm going elsewhere where the entire staff actually cares. I feel bad for the barbers there and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. You can find similar prices, and I'm sure a friendlier owner, somewhere else.

Hayden Plemmons

Very friendly staff. Can make appointments, I never do because the wait isn't terrible. Gives military discount. Decent price. Good environment. Must pay with cash though.

Cory Booker

Did a great job for a fair price

Vivek Saraswat

Pretty OK. Barbers are great and they know a lot. However a bit expensive.

Spencer Fricke

Not fancy, but cheap and gets the job done well

Danny Sa

Great place. Only issue is cash only and they likely only take relatively small bills.

Anthony Patton

Have been going there before my hair turned gray nice people

Jonathan Biatch

For almost a decade I have trusted my pate to the staff at Stadium Barbers, and I have never been dissatisfied. They are professional, likable, and helpful in all they do. Eight years ago when I moved to Madison, I first visited a chi-chi hair stylist off of State Street, and he was not only too expensive but he styled my hair to his liking, not to mine. Not so at Stadium Barbers. They like to cut and talk, but they listen to what I need and want. As others have said, the price is right and there is usually free parking just around the corner off of Monroe Street. Their hours are very convenient, and it's always a pleasure to be served by them.

Bob Koechley

Been a customer for 20+ years. Chuck and Tim have been classic providers of top flight but no fru fru service for our community the whole time. Funny, knowledgeable folks providing service in the best way.

Paul Abramson

Skilled, experienced Barbers offering a high degree of personal service. A rare find

Alan Noblitt

Personal service

Derek Lubecke

Friendly local barbershop.

Chris Zahm

Not the most friendly, but you get a decent cut

Dan Pertzborn

I started coming here after trying a few other barbers and salons around Madison. These guys are the best I've found in this city. I've never been more satisfied with my haircuts than when I come here. I've never had to wait longer than 10 minutes, even without scheduling an appointment. And for $15, what's not to like?

Thomas Brennan

Best hair cut I’ve gotten. The guy was nice, fast, and knew what I wanted. Perfect.
