Fantastic experience: What a perfect barbershop. A wonderful old school feel, but with a new and fantastic look. Got a great cut from Tim in preparation for a huge job interview.

Fantastic experience: Tim is a very nice person, he always answers the phone and lets me know his availability. Customer service is top notch. When he cuts my hair he does it exactly the way I want.

Fantastic experience: Been coming ti Tim for 6 months. Tims my life saver. FINE JOB EVERY TIME
Fantastic experience: Tim’s the MAN! perfect haircut. Went home and realized I needed to come back for my next haircut.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic barbershop which I would recommend to anyone in St-Pete. Tim greeted me with a handshake and introduced himself. He’s a great conversationalist, and an even better barber with almost 30 years of experience. This became clear to me when, after only 15 minutes, I got one of the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten. While other barbershops charge $40+ for a haircut, his prices are affordable and the cut is great. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks again Tim!

Fantastic experience: Tim does amazing work. He’s very kind and professional fun and easy-going. I highly recommend his business to anybody who wants a quality men’s or child’s haircut..
Negative experience: Tim was nice at first but was fast to disregard what i wanted for a haircut and cut too much off in the wrong places assuming he knew best . honestly kind of a narcissist too 0/10 but i’ve heard the girls working there are way better.
Fantastic experience: Great haircut. Great place. Relaxed place. I’ve been looking for my go to barber and finally found it and a reasonable price.
Fantastic experience: Great haircut, always easy to book and be seen on time. Also brought my son in for his first haircut!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Tim for 29 years. Dropped in for another cut and we were talking about old times. He has always been a stand up guy and he gets you in and out so you can get on your way. All at a fair and reasonable price for a haircut.
Fantastic experience: Went to Tim’s for the first time and after the great cut I got, I will definitely be a returning customer. Tim greeted me with enthusiasm and we had great conversation while he cut my hair! He has a great little business there! If you’re looking for a quality cut, go see Tim!

He’s amazing. He’s been here for a long time and you gotta come in and get your haircut so you’ll be walking out looking wonderful
Fantastic experience: Great cut and a great conversation. I'm from Colorado and will get my fade at Tim's Everytime I come back. Thanks, Tim!
Fantastic experience: Tim did an excellent job with my hair and beard. He's a great guy and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great haircut, beard trim or shave. His prices are fair too.
Fantastic experience: When you go to Tims, you are going to get the Barber shop experience you only see in TV. From the aesthetics/decor to the conversation it was the coolest Barber shop experience I have ever had. We talked about rock n roll and golden days. The shop has been there since 1926 so you are entering a sacred relic of a place where you get to take a trip back in time with the vintage soda machines and coolers. Tim is a great guy who loves everyone and you really feel it when your in his chair and get to talk to him. I thuroughly enjoyed my haircut experience going to Tims.
Fantastic experience: Tim gave me the bad ass mullet I've been looking for. We had an absolute blast. Great customer service, great skill, will be back over and over and over again. Come visit him, otherwise, you're missing out!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice place with an incredible cute vintage atmosphere! Original interior since 1920-s will make your barbershop visit unforgettable! It is a family own business which creates the soul of St Pete! The owner is very kind good person! I recommend you to visit it! You can get nice haircut or hairdo and bonus will be a photoshoot with vintage wending machines or old phone!!!!
Positive experience: Less expensive than the swanky barber shops, but you get a mediocre cut. And he hacked at my eyebrows without asking if I wanted them done. Tim also talks so non stop my ears were ringing when I left.
Fantastic experience: This local barber shop has been a part of the community for almost 100 years! Tim the current owner has been here for almost 30 of that. He is a friendly down to earth gentleman with great conversation and barber skills. He makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Fresh Keurig coffee is available also. My husband has his beard and hair done about once a month here Thank you.
Fantastic experience: New to St Pete and looking for a new barber. I’ve tried a few places around town and so glad I finally found this spot! Tim shows great attention to detail and is a very cool guy to talk to. I highly recommend him over all the other boutique barber shops that you’ll find downtown and on central. There’s a reason this place has been in business for 98 years. Will be back!
Fantastic experience: My new barber shop. First time here, won't be the last. Got a haircut and beard trim. Tim is hilarious and extremely professional.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been using Tim’s Barbershop for a couple of years. Always get a great haircut and he even cleans up my facial hair. I love the atmosphere of the shop and always enjoy talking to Tim.
Fantastic experience: Hadn’t had a real haircut in around 7 years. Tim probably cut a couple pounds off my head, but kept it rock n’ roll. I’d forgotten that “just got a good haircut” feeling. Great work, reasonably priced, and Tim’s a cool guy. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Tim's cut my hair a few times, always does a great job! Very courteous and good conversation. Didn't even need an appointment, always gets me write in! I recommend him for everyone!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for 20 years. Tim does a great job cutting hair. His prices are much lower than other shops in the area. He's got a great personality. I enjoy my time sitting in the chair chatting with him and the other customers. I highly recommend Tim's.
Fantastic experience: Tim is amazing!! Great service, fantastic cut, awesome conversation! He is running solo and doing hard work to keep things happening! Many thanks!!
Fantastic experience: I been coming to Tim’s for25 years brought my son and my grandson. Best haircuts in town Tim’s a great person and never has anything but nice things to say. I highly recommend you check out Tims Barber shop great prices and a fantastic haircut. Great job Tim.
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience with Tim! He did an outstanding job cutting my teenage son's hair. Tim's hospitality was top-notch, and he maintained an engaging conversation throughout the visit. We'll definitely return, and I highly recommend his services to others!
Negative experience: Do not go here if you care about your hair. If you don’t care, it’s the perfect shop for you. The owner, Tim, never stops talking and doesn’t listen to anything you say. He just does what he wants. It’s unfortunate because he is the face of the business. Some of the girls there are great. I’m shocked he’s still in business and anyone goes there. In addition to myself, he has messed up many of my friends hair; that didn’t know NOT to go there.
Fantastic experience: Been coming to Tim’s for about 20 years. Tim always hooks it up! It’s easier for me to make an appointment, but he also does walk-ins. I never leave disappointed!!! Highly recommend, prices are extremely reasonable. Won’t ever go to another barber! Come in to get a haircut, and you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in Tim greeted me as if we were life long friends. Great traditional old style barbershop, love the vibe. Best cut and beard trim I’ve had in years.
Fantastic experience: Gotta love this place!!! Not only is Tim a great barber, he's also an awesome person!!!! I would definitely highly recommend him to anyone!!!!
Fantastic experience: Whatever you wanna type it Tim is amazing. I’ve been coming here. This is my second time. He’s been amazing. His haircuts are top-of-the-line for satisfied with him. Look forward to coming again Tim you’re awesome thank you sir. Look forward to seeing you again. See you soon.
Fantastic experience: Tried Tim’s for the first time today, faded haircut and beard trim was done exactly how I wanted. The price was fair. Looking forward to my next visit.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Tim's for 25 or more years. He's always been top notch in skill and service. I'm happy to call Tim my barber as well as my friend. You can never go wrong going to Tims.
Fantastic experience: The minute I came in I knew it was the right place thanks Tim Called to check hours and time and even though he was closed, he told me and my friend to come by real quick. He cleaned up my lines for 10 dollars and gave me a hair product sample. He did a great job. Thank you Tim.
Fantastic experience: Took my friend to get a cut with a nice fade. They did an excellent job. It was a little pricier than I would have expected at $60 but having used my razor to trim his hair before, I know his puts a lot of wear and tear on the equipment so can understand some of the cost. Style wise though, 100% awesome job. Best he has looked in years. Repeat visit, he stayed after hours and hooked me and my friend up.very nice guy and good prices. Take the time to stop by, it is worth it.
Fantastic experience: Went to get haircut I look so good nobody will recognize me. Tim took his time and made sure I was totally happy with my haircut. As always a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Had an AMAZING 1st experience at Tim’s Barbershop ❤️ My 7 year old son got a phenomenal haircut from the master himself! Ryan enjoyed his time at the shop and the AWESOME stories Mr Tim had to share! Will DEFINITELY be a returning LIFELONG customer!!!
Fantastic experience: After having my haircut earlier in the day, I asked about having my son’s haircut after school let out. Tim closed at 3 and without hesitation.Tim,made a special trip back to St Petersburg from Clearwater just to cut my Son’s hair! Talk about going above and beyond for your customer. Thanks again Tim!!!!
Fantastic experience: Went to Tim's first time. Cut exactly how I wanted it cut! Tim is very friendly to all the little boys that enter his Shop. Tim goes out of his way to make sure the kids Hava a great experience. I have witnessed this myself.
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic haircut today at Tim’s and will certainly become regular. Great conversation with a wonderful guy. I very rarely write reviews but Tim’s deserves this 5 star rating. Excellent Barber shop!
Positive experience: Whenever I go here to get a haircut, I just show up. Tim tells me each time that I should make an appointment with the app that he uses. So I use the app to make an appointment but when I show up there, the place isn't even open. Tim's a good guy though and he cuts hair well.
Fantastic experience: It’s not just a haircut it’s an experience you will love!! Tim gave me two free hats and offered to get us some coffee and free drinks! Best Barbershop I’ve been to!
Fantastic experience: My brother and I were trying to get a haircut on the day of his wedding, called over 6 different barber shops, and they all booked. We called Tim and he said he was booked also, but still took the time to squeeze him in under tight circumstances. Was very polite and nice guy, really good at cutting hair and just all around great atmosphere of a barbershop. Tim being so considerate is what makes him the best barber around.
Fantastic experience: Terrific Barber always friendly and professional I've been getting my haircut for 25 years. Very happy with the quality of service that I have received and will continue to be a customer as long as Tim's is open. I highly recommend this shop.
Fantastic experience: Tim usually closes at 3 and it was five after when I pulled up. As a senior and Vietnam Vet I figured I’d have to look elsewhere BUT Tim saw I was a vet and told me to come in. He made me feel welcome, gave me great haircut at a reasonable price and gave me a bottle of cold water. Even though he had business elsewhere, he took care of me. You don’t find that kind of service and customer care anymore but you do at Tim’s Barber Shop!
Fantastic experience: Brought my teenage grandson to Tim’s Barbershop today. As you can imagine things has to be just right. Tim immediately built rapport by listening to his requests and went on to advise him on grooming and moderate use of care products. Thanks Tim!
Fantastic experience: I have been looking for a good barber ever since my last (and it was his last) haircut. I have driven by Tim's for years living in St Pete but my schedule just never seemed to work until yesterday. The best thing I can say is my wife loved the cut (keep the Mrs. happy!) and so did I! And Tim is beyond entertaining and funny. If you have to wait his comedy show makes the wait enjoyable. I'll be back for the next cut and the next show!. Thanks again. Jim B
Negative experience: Truly disgusted by owner's (Tim's) behavior. I visited St. Pete Frame shop next door. They share the parking lot in the back. I had a home depot rental truck to pick up my frame. As I was exiting the parking lot making a uturn, Tim came running out waving his arms in the air saying "GET OFF MY LOT"! I slowly rolled my window down (mind you I'm in a home depot truck rental) and have him a quizzical look because I had only been there for a few seconds. I asked what the hell he was talking about and that I was visit the shop next door and parked in their lot. He explained contractors are using his lot to do business in the adjacent homes. I told him, he didn't need to speak to me that way. He literally yelled "I'm being nice to you"! I proceeded to tell him I was considering getting a hair cut at his shop, but not now to which he replied "oh I'm going to hear this now". Don't go here. A critic summed it up nicely.... "narcissistic dirt bag"
Fantastic experience: Tim is the bomb (he told me if I wanted to see my ear again I had to give him a great review). :-). Seriously, my favorite barber shop in St Pete!
Fantastic experience: I took my grandson to Tim’s for his first barbershop haircut. Tim did a great job with him. A lot of patience, he kept all the hair in a little envelope and took a picture of us in front of his sign. I couldn’t say enough about our experience with Tim and his personal touch with my family. What a great experience. We have new barber and I highly recommend Tim’s!
Fantastic experience: I love going to see Tim! I always leave with my hair looking great - or at least I'm assuming that's the case based off of the reaction I get from my wife... Not only are the cuts great but Tim is a really pleasant guy to get to know - friendly, and a great story teller too! Don't be shy, ask him to tell you some stories you will be entertained!
Fantastic experience: I did not get to go to Tim's recently as the shop just happened to be closed, and I did not make an advance appointment. Tim did return my voice-mail, but my spontaneous need could not wait. I know I missed out on a great experience, good conversation, and a great men's haircut. I had just discovered Tim's shortly before I moved back to Nashville in 2010, and I loved Tim's Barbershop. It's an "original" shop with old-time barbershop chairs and a great vibe that caters to men, as though it were good to be a man. I trust it has not changed. This is a concept shop that looks like the inspiration for a successful franchise. But, skip the strip malls. Tim's Barbershop is the real deal, gentlemen! You will look and feel great, just as you should.
Fantastic experience: Tim does an amazing job. A very friendly atmosphere, and very affordable. Tims has that old school feel with new school capabilities. He always gives me an amazing cut, and I had my 12 year old step son who had a mop for hair. Tim brought it down and made the kid look great. His mom and I thought our son was not going to like the short hair, but low and behold. Tim did so well on his cut the kid loves it.
Fantastic experience: Went to Tim's for the first time today. Great haircut, reasonable price, fast and good conversation. Would highly recommend. Old style barbershop - Great Haircut.
Fantastic experience: Tim is a polite man and very timely with his cuts. He's been in the business for quite a while and even gave me useful advice on how to keep my hair maintained. He's familiar with the diversity of hair and will use products made for your hair type. A very good barber that I would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Tim's is the best! The atmosphere is fantastic, and that's because Tim is the coolest guy in St Pete. That attracts all the best people and leads to Tim's being a truly priceless experience that is becoming harder to find each day. Welcome to Tim's!
Fantastic experience: Tim knows how to cut a perfect fade. He knows exactly what you’re going for when it comes to getting your hair cut. He will 100% let you know what he recommends for the haircut to keep it lined up properly while cutting it.
Fantastic experience: One of the best hair cuts at the best price I have had in years. Also, Tim is definitely a trip and keeps you entertained the entire time. Definitely my new place for a hair cut.
Fantastic experience: Never had a haircut experience like this! Tim was literally on lunch break and stopped eating to cut my hair!! This man is a treasure to the St. Pete area and artist in his craft. Great haircut, great vibe and great experience. Thank you Tim, you are a real dynamite guy!
Fantastic experience: Tim is your old school type barber who is extremely nice and easy going. He likes to have a good conversation and perhaps mess around with you. LISTEN...with that being said....if you're an uptight person that takes yourself, your life and everything else way too seriously go elsewhere. He is a great guy and likes to have fun. He's great at what he does and doesn't take half of your 401k for a cut. Everyone else that cuts hair wants an arm and a leg for a cut that grows back in 3 weeks. If you wanna spend $40 for a haircut be my guest. But tim will be my new forever barber. Superior service and would rate him higher if I could. Thank you Tim!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: This man knows what he’s doing. I am not one to give a 5 star rating but time and time again I get the highest quality haircut and beard trim. He is experienced and super personable. If you’re into a classic, new age, or anything in between barber give Tim a try. You won’t be disappointed. I have been in the area for years and tried several barbers before. I noticed Tim stickers on many vehicles in Pinellas county and gave his shop a shot… won’t go anywhere else. Not only a quality hair cut, but a master of the beard! He is currently a one man show due to changes thanks to Covid, but the quality has remained.
Fantastic experience: Tim has been my go to barber since I arrived in Saint Petersburg. Always friendly, withe great stories of his years as a musician, and excellent skills with the haircuts. His walls have the awards he's won as best barbershop from Creative Loafing, and you can see why. I'll be back soon (though not soon enough for my lovely bride, who wants me to get my hair cut more often).
Fantastic experience: Tim is the most amazing guy ever. I called him and was super awesome explaining when he could get me in a different day. He called me back to squeeze me in to take care of every need haircut and beard trim. He is super positive and I would recommend anybody I know to go there.
Positive experience: Good setup, by appointment only. Solid COVID precautions if you're into that. Tim is very talkative and friendly. Quick service. My only gripe is he doesn't take credit. Debit is accepted... as in you can use the ATM to withdraw cash. So please be prepared, bring cash to avoid ATM fees (I got a double fee, one from the ATM and one from my bank)
Fantastic experience: Got a fresh fade from Tim that rivaled my barber in NYC. So much so that I'm actually writing a review. Excellent at his craft. Great service, hospitality, conversation, etc. We talked about art and compared his work to my work. Good vibes all around. Very clean and socially distant protocols were great. LGBTQ friendly, I felt safe and comfortable and even got some complimentary swag. Thanks a ton Tim. Will be back when I'm in the area again.
Negative experience: Good haircut and good conversation but when Tim asked if I wanted a sticker to advertise we said sure and then by the time my fiance and i were done talking to each other he was outside putting his sticker on our jeep wrangler soft top window. It took me and hour to take it off and now our soft top is ruined. They cost 1500 plus. Beware of the sticker I should have made him pay!!!
