This is the best barber in Lansing by far. Brian does a phenomenal job and went above and beyond my expectations. I went in just wanting a simple touch up and he gave me more than that. He gave me one of the best if not the best haircut I’ve ever had. I’ll never go to anyone else! The atmosphere is nice and relaxed and very welcoming. I cannot recommend this place enough. I will definitely be a returning customer.
Life changing haircut. I was always hesitant on going to a barber shop. Couldn’t be happier with my experience. Highly recommend this shop. Brian is great at his craft and the clients I seen Rachel trimming up all left with smiles. Great atmosphere. Do yourself a solid and book an appointment.
Brian is an excellent barber, first haircut with him today, great haircut, he is very personable! Precision cut, very talented barber! Thanks Brian😀
A friend recommended me a few months ago and I have had a great cut ever since. Brian does a great job at cutting my hair, possibly the best I’ve had yet.
They make it incredibly easy to schedule an appointment online with all the prices and services listed. Had Brian cut my hair for the first time and he did an incredible job. Hes very professional and keeps his shop clean. He asked me what I wanted and I tried to explain the best I could without knowing exactly what to say to get it right. He asked questions back about hair and beard to make sure he knew exactly what and how I wanted. Brian at Classic will be my new and forever barber shop thats for sure.
My husband has never been to a barber and this place has changed everything for him! He loved every minute of it, great atmosphere and Brian seemed to truly care and was very attentive. My husband looks amazing and hasnt stopped checking the mirror to see his cleaned up look!! Hell definitely become a regular, couldnt recommend this place more.
This review is not about the quality of the haircuts you get but the quality of the owner. I went to Brian Caskey for a number of years and even hung out with him a couple times outside of the shop. He made a bet with me for 1k that he initiated and I agreed to then when he lost the bet he told me he was notgoing to pay and blocked me on social media. We shook on this and he even asked to raise the bet to 10k which I declined. A bet is a bet and if youre not willing to pay off the bet you shouldnt be asking someone to make that bet with you in the first place. Anyway this is who the owner is a lier and a cheat. If you read this and still go to him then you condone this type of behavior with a customer. Please dont visit this establishment there are plenty of other barbers who can cut hair just as well with better character.
Rachel is amazing! Very easy to talk to was making jokes. Amazing cut and I had a mop on my head and this was my first time seeing her. I went in not knowing fully what I want and left loving my new hair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR ANY MAN WITH CURLY HAIR.
Place is a great place to get a haircut. Thanks
Always one of the things I look forward to is my beard trim. Classic Barbershop really knows what theyre doing with beards (I see Brian, but generally good reviews on all 3). He takes his time and really assesses what you want, not just template A, B, or C. Great atmosphere, reminiscent of the Joe Rogan show at times, but more LGBTQ+ friendly.
Very uncomfortable I feel they were rude and very unprofessional dont recommend to anyone of color
Best barbershop around
Friendly and experienced staff. Great atmosphere. Recommend to everyone.
I would recommend the classic Barber shop 1000 times over. This is the only place in Lansing where I would receive a professional haircut every single time and on top of that it is affordable and a very quality experience in itself. I would send anyone I know here if you even live within 30 miles of classic Barber shop and are looking for a haircut this has got to be your place.
Top of the line fades here. Does a straight razor shave and line up. I’m very picky when it comes to haircuts but brian did an amazing job.
CBS is a GREAT place to get your haircut. Owner Brian and his staff are all able to give great cuts, and the best beard maintenance in Lansing. Nicely decorated, big screen, music create a friendly atmosphere. This is a popular place and appts are needed vs a walk-in shop.New to Lansing & need a new barber? Youve found a new home at Classic Barber Shop! I came here once 8yrs ago, never went anywhere else since! 5stars.
Being new to the Lansing area and being very particular about my cuts I am in need of a GOOD barber. Decided to give Classic a shot as they have pretty good reviews. Had a 10am appointment with Brian yesterday (Thursday). The shop is about 20-25 minutes from where I work/live so not too close. Received a text on the ride there saying he was running 15-20 minutes behind. Got there and then was informed he wouldnt be able to get me in until 10:30. At this point I am irritated as I left work for my appointment at 10am and was in need of a haircut for a meeting all afternoon that day and the next day. Received another text on the ride back saying Brian apologized and my next cut was on him! Awesome gesture and much appreciated, but I needed a haircut then. $25 for a cut (which I have no problem with for a solid cut) and appointments only they need to get better than that. Needless to say won’t be back as time for me is too valuable. 2 stars for the good gesture of a free haircut.
Had my beard trimmed here for the first time. Awesome results. Wouldnt want anyone else to mess with my beard. He took his time and made it look better than it has ever looked. Worth every penny and then some. Awesome vibe in the place.
Ive been getting my haircut by Rachael for almost two years. Im very picky about who cuts my hair. Rachael can read my mind and she knows what looks good on my fat head. The shop has a very curious look. 90s music is always playing and I feel right at home.
Overall great experience, got a haircut by Brian. Very professional and he did a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend
Thanks Spencer for what I think is the best haircut Ive ever had. Great service, suggestions and attention to detail. Ill be back!Although Id never use a self-checkout lane when shopping, I am a fan of the online appointment schedule option. Im positive the haircut was so good not only because my barber is a professional, but he was never disrupted answering the phone.Also appreciated was Brians concern that I was satisfied.Highly recommended!
Brian is the best barber. His cuts are amazing and he is very professional.
Rachel is amazing, the atmosphere is awesome. Probably not for the thin skinned easily offended types.
Since I am new to this area I have spent the last several months trying to find a good place to get my haircut. Then I found Classic Barbershop on Yelp and made the appointment online.Most my life when Ive sat down in a barber chair I get up disappointed. The result is just not what you wanted or tried to explain to the person cutting your hair.Not this time.I sat down in Brians chair (Owner) and he explained the process and asked what kind of cut I wanted. When he finished the cut he shaved my neck and beard lines. This man understands that a Barber is more than someone who just cuts hair. This is an experience. From the detailed haircut to the hot shave it is truly an experience.Ive NEVER felt this good about a haircut/shave.One word: Master.I highly recommend and will return as a regular.
Apparently getting a good medium fade haircut is very difficult in Lansing. Not at Classic Barber Shop. Impeccably clean, easy parking, awesome atmosphere, phenomenal staff. I get my haircuts from Spencer and he repeatedly gives me the best haircuts Ive ever had. Ive seen the work the other two barbers do and it is some of the best Ive seen as well. It is rare to find an entire staff that are the best in their field but somehow they have managed it here. It is the only place I will go.
This place is great! Chill atmosphere; blues and soul today. Tyler took his time, and his attention to detail is on point- highly recommended. Looking at other patrons’ cuts, all the barbers know what they’re doing. Great location and vibe. I will be back!
Always have enjoyed my experience and conversations while here.
Loved my haircut from here
Clean, nice atmosphere and they take there time cutting hair and trimming beards.
Hands down the best barber in the area. I started going here in January, and Ive never had a bad experience.I usually hold off for awhile before reviews places I bring repeat business, so I can get a feel for things over time and set expectations accordingly. I see some people that either dont know what that means, or cant improvise or understand life happens.Ive had one appointment cancelled in 6 months, and I was immediately contacted to find something else that worked for both of us.This place is a perfect example of why you should buy local. Good communication, good service, an awesome environment and you CANT BEAT the haircut.5/5.Highly recommend.
I had my first cut with Tanner. I loved the ambiance of the place. Tanner was attentive, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job in a timely manner. I look forward to coming back.
I started going to Classic Barber Shop shortly after they opened, and havent gone anywhere since. Brian usually cuts my hair/trims my beard, but I think Ive received cuts from all of the barbers at some point. Everybody takes their time with consultations to make sure you get exactly what you want and they are more than happy to give advice about styling on your own as well. Great atmosphere with a super laid back staff. Some people might be turned off by their pricing but, as with tattoos, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Ive seen some complaints about the appointments-only policy. However I learned they shifted to this policy pretty early on after business picked up. Personally I appreciate being able to fit my cut into my schedule without having to worry about waiting an hour or more (which you would if they allowed walk-ins) for the POSSIBILITY of sitting down with the barber Ive built a rapport with. Whether you are just looking for a trim or want to try a completely different style, this is the place to go. I get compliments whenever I get a cut, and feel like a million bucks every time I leave the shop. I recommend this place to all my friends, and encourage you to give them a shot too.
Went in for a beard trim with Brian. He did an amazing job. He cleaned everything up, and evened everything up. I never imagined that I would have a nice, and clean looking beard. Highly recommend everyone with or without a beard to come here. Very friendly staff, and clean shop. I will be coming back for my beard ttim/clean up in the future.
If youre looking for more than an in and out barber, this is your place. The environment is super cool and edgy and has a great vibe to it. Its time you get back to looking forward to getting your hair cut again. Its such a great experience that everyone should have. The barbers are all super cool and more than anything theyre very gifted at their trade.Not only have I never walked away with a bad hair cut but Ive also received many compliments on it!This place is the real deal. Everyone should really give this place a try, you wont be disappointed!
Great Job! By far best haircut I have ever got! Great guys, ask you exactly what you want and make sure youre satisfied! I live an hour away and will definitely be a frequent customer! I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a good haircut!
Hands down the best barbershop in Lansing. Great atmosphere, they always do a great job and are really nice. The prices are fair for the service they provide
This place is fantastic! Best haircut I’ve gotten in Lansing. Brian was knowledgeable and personable, and he really took the time to get the cut just right. Will totally go back when I’m in town, plus the decor of the shop is worth a look on its own!
Great little place in Lansing! Brian took the time to get the cut I wanted from a picture I found. Highly recommend making an appointment.
This is the best barbershop I have ever been too. I really wouldnt trust another barbershop with my hair. They will make sure you get the best cut. I always look great and the place has the best atmosphere.
Sweet place. Great atmosphere. Been going here for a couple of months now and havent left unsatisfied. All the guys are very nice and very good at what they do. Wont go anywhere else
As someone who is picky about who cuts my hair this place is awesome. Great atmosphere, very laid back, good group of guys; how a barber shop should be. Tyler does a great job.
After being hassled by a few buddies about going to low end shops for basically forever, I figured it was time to find a real barber shop. Called in about 1pm, to set up an appointment at 5pm. Easy enough to find with a lot next door. Walk in and you know youre in a true barber shop and went right to my seat as she was ready for my appointment right on time. As someone who has always gone to Borics and the like, it was an amazing change to be in the atmosphere they have built. We discussed what I wanted, she quickly got to work cleaning up my mop of hair. Had a few suggestions to help w/ making it look a bit more clean up as she was trimming and it turned out great. Will 100% be back again, probably have a lifetime customer in me as long as they are open here in Lansing. Thank you Classic.
At 40 years old, Ive had my hair cut hundreds of times. The haircut I got from Jon Z. is the best haircut Ive experienced in my entire life. I cant recommend him highly enough. If youre looking for a truly great haircut, give this guy a try.
I’ve been to many places in Lansing to get my haircut but never experienced the attention to detail as I have here. Brook is very good and the price is more than reasonable. Highly recommend!
This barbershop came recommended from a friend and I am extremely glad I gave it a visit. The staff was professional and it is the best haircut Ive ever had. There is a really cool atmosphere and the service was excellent. Jon did an excellent job and will recommends him and this shop to others.
Rachel did an absolutely amazing job cutting my hair and was polite and friendly during the entirety of my visit. I left with a great haircut and a new place to get it cut every time. Thank you!
I’ve been coming to Brian for years, but everyone at the shop is great! Sharp lookin’ and affordable cuts. Excellent atmosphere. These folks are the best, give them a call if you need a cut or shave!
Went here a few times, awesome haircut. Brian is definitely good at what he does... unfortunately that includes canceling appointments. He canceled 2 of my appointments 20 minutes before hand. Other than that the conversation is good and the haircut is awesome. But unreliable service is something that convinced me to go elsewhere
Highly recommend Classic Barber Shop. Very friendly barbers who will work with you to get the cut youd like. Book with Spencer if you want a first class cut! Make an appointment ahead of time! A+ work guys!
Got my hair cut for my wedding with Brian and it was a 10/10 experience. Ill definitely make another trip!
Brian and his crew are awesome. Great cuts. Cool place. Well worth it. Won’t find a more sincere shop.
I really liked the haircut I got here. More importantly though was the trim I got for my beard, which was awesome. Cool place inside and I like the music that was playing when I was there.
Great time at classic this afternoon. Laid back, great hair cut and beard trim. My wife loves it and said I need to go back.
If youre looking to get a great haircut, this is the place. Great environment, the barbers are cool and know what theyre doing.. Spencer is one of the best barbers in town. I highly recommend Classic Barber Shop
The name says it all. There once was a time that you looked forward to seeing your barber. Getting a great hair cut was only one piece of the experience. You felt like you were talking to a friend and walked out feeling better. I am so glad I found this place. The decor is amazing, the haircuts are off the charts. More than anything the owner is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Take my advice and try this place. You wont be disappointed.
My son will only get his haircut by Brian. He is very detailed and does a great job! Shop is laid back and very eclectic.
Tanner did a phenomenal job on my beard. Very impressive! Thank you Classic Barber Shop!
If you are looking for a great cut, way above ths quality of the normal barber shop, this is the place for you. These guys are the only ones that are allowed to touch my beard. Brian and Brook maybe the best at what they do in the state on Michigan. Forget about the price and try it. You wont be disappointed.
First time there had a beard trim from Rachel. She did a great job very friendly will be going back. Highly recommend Rachel and Classic Barber Shop.
Been there 3 times. He first time was a great experience got exactly what I was looking for. Second time was with a different barber. Did not ask me how I would like it . He parted my hair differently and came out a mess. Waited a few days and called Brian, the owner and asked me to come in. On His own dime he gave me again the haircut I wanted. Highly recommend Brian for haircuts. He is the real deal.
First time in to get my beard trimmed. Best my beard has ever looked. Rachel did a phenomenal job.
Amazing guys working in this place. I had a terrible week (my house caught on fire) and was scheduled for my first beard trim. Wanted to get a straight razor shave on my head after the beard trim just to get rid of some stress and have a moment to relax. Brook was amazing. He chose not to eat and to give me the shave. Awesome place and even more awesome guys working here. They have me hooked!
Got a beard trim with Rachel and she was quick and did an awesome job. This place has a great atmosphere and a great staff I will be back for sure!
Classics is a place unlike most barbershops in the Lansing and East Lansing area. There is a great vibe and aesthetic that makes getting a haircut awesome. Spencer pays attention to detail on his haircuts, and takes pride in making sure his customer is happy throughout the cut. This barbershop is a place to go if you need a beard shaped up or cleaned up.
I would have given 5 stars, but the inability of the owner to keep scheduled appointments forces me to give only 2, since customer service is important. If appointments are required, I shouldnt have 3 out of 5 of my appointments cancelled in the past three months. If youre going to get a haircut, schedule with someone other than Brian. Brook or Jon give awesome cuts and dont miss their appointments!
Astonished and amazed to see the cuts these barbers create everytime I visit. You have to experience this shop I promise youll keep going back... True talent, amazing artists
Walked in thinking how cool the shop was; walked out thinking how cool I looked. This was my first time in like 12 or more years going to a barber. I was a little weary to begin with but damn am I happy. I got my cut from the owner and the dude was funny and interesting to chat with. Gave me that sweet “Mad Men” haircut I’ve been wanting for years but never could get at a salon.Listen to me when I say, if there is a bad review on here don’t pay attention to it. Personally I could not be happier with my hair 2 weeks later but let me say I haven’t looked as good as I did since I walked out when I looked and felt like the ****. (Sorry for the stars at the end, just an accurate description of how good of a cut you can get here)
I stumbled in on a whim and Im so glad I did! They really take their time and pay attention to the needs of the customer. I got the best haircut Ive had in years! Please note they normally require an appointment (I got lucky with the walk in) so youll want to call ahead if interested.
The Classic Barber Shop is a great place to get your haircut the way you want it. Awesome atmosphere with the cool classic feel. These fellas do it RIGHT!! Check em out!!
Good barbers! Friendly and helpful. Take their time making sure you look good and are happy with the service.
Rachel delivers the best fade in town! Great fun, laid back atmosphere.
Outstanding! My experience was great, and what i hoped for. I will continue to return time and again.
First time in there and Brian is a real friendly guy did a great job giving me what I wanted. I will definitely be coming back here for now on.
Great haircut at a cool spot, easy hassle free scheduling. Cant say enough good things about my experience today. 6 stars
Ive had some of the best haircuts of my life there. It really is the only place to get your hair cut in town. That said, Ive been burned 5 times in the last 2 years. Im just glad I didnt have a date or wedding or any other important event. Ive shown up a few times and the building is shut but the online system is still taking appointments. Im not going to go to Judes or Fantastic Sams. They need to be careful, because once someone else opens up a barber shop with quality and consistency, classicbarber customers will make the jump.
You will not be disappointed, everyone’s really chill and Brian does a fantastic job
This is the first time I have been compelled to actually give a review. I have been coming to classic barber for about 6 months now and dont see any reason I would go anywhere else these guys do a great job hands down best in business. Tyler does my hair and beard and is a true craftsman. So I say thank you to them for the passion and dedication. You dont find that old time laid back atmosphere anymore. Thanks guys keep up the greatwork!!!
Brian is the man....whether is getting a full haircut, a beard trim, or a head shave, he knows what hes doing.Further more do you know how hard it is to ask a churn and burn place( borics, supercuts, judes, fantastic Sams,) to fade my sideburns into my scalp and not have them look at you like a Martian.The first time I went in there Brian new exactly what I wanted executed it masterfully.I am a regular and extremely loyal customer at classic.If you want a great barber experience from a master who takes pride in his workBrian is the man for you.
Great atmosphere, amazing cuts, better people.
Best hair cut in Lansing by far. I will be returning for sure!
This place is great! This place holds true to its name! It is a real classic shop!
Cool old school vibe shop, with barbers who know what they are doing, including with a straight razor. Well worth the price.
Although I had to wait a little while to get into the barber seat, the environment is friendly. With the cues of a classic barber shop mixed with youthful charm, youll enjoy the experience...not to mention the fact that the barbers are great at their trade.
Got a fantastic hair cut and they got great service my NEW barbor shop thanks brian!
Friendly staff and very skilled. Highly recommend
Johnny-on-the-spot when I need cleaned up, Spence is on point with a great cut! I vote with my dollar at least once a week.
Recently started going here and will never look back! great staff, great aesthetic, and great haircuts😎
First time there and I had a great experience there I really recommend this barber shop.
These are the best barbers in Lansing!
Went once and never want to go anywhere else. Killer cuts, great vibe.
These dudes do know how to cut hair. They also can do specialty fades, for a little extra. However they are very spotty with appointments dont offer any wash or style options and are over priced.My personal experience- I went here religiously to see the owner Brian for a cuts every 2 weeks. The first time I was impressed. That was also the last time! I booked a few more appointments and things went ok, a little wishy-washy on scheduling. Then they switched to an online booking method. This is when I thought, this is good... more organized and easier! However when booking appointments and then showing up my stylist, the owner, Brian, was absolutely no where to be found! Hmm ok maybe once or twice but this happened 3 times. No phone call to tell me he was not in or to reschedule. No apologies, just a waste of my time to show up expecting a service and being ousted. All while having access to the new online booking schedule from his mobile phone!None of the other barbers showed any empathy or even offered to cut my hair. So I found my self a better more reliable barber! Look them up!!Studio One Hair, you wont regret it!
Brian could be the worst at time management EVER. Always checking his cell phone while cutting hair and always behind his schedule because of this. I waited 35 mins because he was checking his cell and complaining about other clients who wanted a style a certain way.
A real barbershop. Talented barbers and a nice, stylish space.
Good haircuts but poor customer service. In 18 cuts the barber was no call no show 3 times on arranged appointments
Have had brian cancel my last 3 appointments. either he will call a hour before your appointment. Or like this last time let me show up and wait for him to never show.I dont know how classic I would call this place..go somewhere where they wanna cut your hair.
First time I ever go to this barber shop they cancel my appointment and apparently dont do walk-ins. Will never go here again! Go somewhere else if you actually want a haircut!!
Rock as background music and sketchy eccentric interior might not for everybody but the hairdressers here are outstanding.
Dont try to book early in the mornings. You will get a text a hour before saying your appt is cancelled. It happened to me 3 separate occasions. Kinda funny for a place that prides themselves in appointments and doesnt take walk-ins.
Rachel did a get job, and was very friendly for it being 8:30 in the morning!
Appointment ONLY. I say this because I made the mistake of walking in and was treated VARY rudely.
