Buckeye Barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Low prices, and very personable. Always cut the way we ask.
Fantastic experience: Wouldn't trust my hair elsewhere. It is a 30 minute drive for me, but all the other barbershops are charging 40+ for a haircut(and they still are terrible or are selling you on things that arent just a haircut and good talk) or they are 60+ year old guys who can't cut a straight line. (Went to 3 of them in the past two years when I was in a pinch) I get mine cut preferably every two weeks, but occasionally push it up to 3.
Positive experience: Great local barbershop. You can schedule online and the service is good.
Fantastic experience: Best group of barbers that know how to treat their customers like friends or family. I shaved my head for the last year or so and stopped getting haircuts, came back in today feeling as welcome as ever. Dan gave me a great cut!
Fantastic experience: Have gone to Dan for about a year. He's excellent and I always enjoy our conversations. He does an excellent job each time!
Fantastic experience: I started going here a year ago and love the place. I highly recommend booking an appointment online as they are busy. It is inside the Acme grocery store.
Fantastic experience: Best place you can get your hair cut
Fantastic experience: My brother suggested this place and I think we’ve been going for the last year or so. They all do a great job with my son’s hair but Dalibor is my favorite.
Fantastic experience: They are very friendly and do a good job and they are reasonably price they are cash only fyi
Fantastic experience: Been going to Ian for a while now and won’t go to another barber… good conversation and always a quality haircut when in the chair. Can’t beat the price point either.
Fantastic experience: Buckeye Barbershop has the charm of an old-school men’s barber. It’s the one and only place I’ve gone for a haircut in over 5 years. It’s well priced, has a good atmosphere, and is conveniently located. What you see is what you get. Shout out to my dude Ian, he’s clean with the fade every time.
Fantastic experience: Just some awesome guys that are really good at cutting mens hair. Cool environment and good conversation. Definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Any mother who has taken a preteen/teen son to get a haircut knows how dreadful this can be. That was until we found Buckeye barbershop. My son was so happy with haircuts from the moment we left the first time. My son is now 19 and continues to love his haircuts by Roger and lord knows this boy is picky about his hair. He loves that everything runs by appointment so there is never a wait and he's always guaranteed a fresh cut right when needed due to being able to schedule ahead. I know my boy will be a customer for life. If you don't get the pleasure to be a customer of Buckeye Barbers, well you're just simply just settling for less than the best!
Negative experience: Just walked in to see if I could get a cut they’re appointment only. 5 dudes standing around with open chairs don’t wanna make money apparently. This why y’all spot in a grocery store.
You are correct Jesi, our services are by appointment only. We apologize that we were unable to accommodate you when you stopped in due to being fully booked. We only had 3 barbers on staff today, so the other 2 people were customers who just got done with their appointments. You arrived 6 minutes before the next set of customers were due in, which was a father and his two children. For the reason it appeared that we were "just standing around." We would not be able to give you a cut in 6 minutes that would be up to the standards that our clientele is accustomed to. Make an appointment next time and see for yourself why we are rated one of the best barbershops in the state. We guarantee that you will not be disappointed with the quality of haircut that you will receive. And by the way, the grocery store is in OUR spot.

Fantastic experience: My wife cut my hair for 40 years. A couple of years ago she finally said you need to find a barber. I went to buckeyebarbershop not knowing what to expect or even tell them how I wanted my hair cut. They made me feel at ease and welcome from the minute I sat down. Great bunch of guys, I would recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work guys.
Fantastic experience: We hit the jackpot moving into the neighborhood and discovering this gem. Each barber had their own unique style but every one of them are masters at their craft. My son and I loved each haircut and getting to know the guys. Excellent prices and a clean well maintained and decorated establishment. They have customers for life with us.

You know that every time you go there you’re getting the best haircut possible at a reasonable price. Regardless of who you choose for your haircut all of the barbers do a fantastic job! Once you start coming to Buckeye Barbershop you’ll never go switch to anyone else!
Fantastic experience: In a business with so much turnover, these five guys have been there forever and for good reason. They all do a great job! None to limited waiting since the online reservations was implemented has only added to the experience. Thanks for about a decade of quality skin fade haircuts.
Fantastic experience: I have tried multiple barbershops and salons and this is the first place I have found that my son actually liked his hair cut. He will be 18 soon and it has been many years of trial and error. The staff is great and were very helpful our first trip there. They did a great job helping to determine the best cut for his hair type. My son has been back several time now and is booked for another cut this week. Highly recommend letting them handle all your hair related needs.
Fantastic experience: Easily the best barbershop around, it doesn’t matter which barber you go to, they are all great. I have been going here for years and it’s the only place me and my 2 sons will go. They will take their time to make sure they do what you want and how you want.
Fantastic experience: Been going there for years and always get a great haircut! Really good group of barbers. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Ian has been cutting my son's hair since he was a year old. I can't rave enough about him as a barber and this shop. He is always meticulous and very personable. Don't hesitate to schedule a cut, it's easy and fast online. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: We love Buckeye Barbershop! Dan has been our family barber for several years now and always does a great job. Their online system makes it easy to schedule appointments. Everyone there is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had moved out of the area for 9 years. I had gone through multiple stylists and barbers and just couldn’t find anyone that could cut an actual fade haircut. I was so happy when I found out that Buckeye was still open and just had moved to a new location. I would still be looking for a decent barber if I hadn’t found Buckeye again.
Fantastic experience: You won’t find a better shop anywhere around. These guys are all on point, just like their haircuts. And the friendly atmosphere is just an added bonus!
Fantastic experience: Been bringing my teen son to Buckeye Barbershop for the following reasons per my son: * the atmosphere is like a man cave * the barbers always listen closely to how I comb my hair in order to cut correctly * friendly, personable, and fair prices As a mom I also appreciate the convenience of appointments, eliminating long wait times.
Fantastic experience: I set my first appointment and arrived a few minutes early. Dalibar was right on time and extremely professional and once he knew what type of cut I wanted he proceeded to give me a super haircut. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The idea of setting an appointment for your haircut is exceptional and while I realize things come up from time to time we as the customer need to be sure to communicate with Buckeye Barbershop so they can accommodate others if you can't be on time of your scheduled appointment. Remember, you set the appointment they did not! I can't wait to return as the entire staff were professional and courteous to everyone there!
Fantastic experience: Dan is my barber. A consistently great haircut. Sure glad I found them when my last barber passed away.
Fantastic experience: These guys can give you a great cut, at a fair price. It’s also nice that they do appointments, so you don’t have to wait to get a cut. 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Ian is a great barber, we will always go to him and he’s awesome with my kids when they need a cut!
Fantastic experience: The shop is inside the ACME in Ellet. There is no problem with parking. The 4 barbers know their clients well. Dalibor, Phil, Roger and Dan, and Ian care about their repeat customers and the new ones who try them out. They ask questions about what you want. The conversation flows freely and usually revolves around sports, gaming or whatever the current topic is. This is a great shop for all ages. I go to Dan and appreciate his patience as he cuts my flattop. If you haven't tried Buckeye Barbershop, what are you waiting for? You will get a quality cut and make a new friend in your barber.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Second time there. Great job. And the entertainment! I was afraid I was laughing too hard and not sitting still
Fantastic experience: This is an awesome barber shop! They guys are all very talented and I very much recommend going there
Fantastic experience: Awesome barbershop! See these guys if you want a true barbershop experience. Very professional and clean shop located inside Acme. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I discovered this place after my boyfriend took our son to a more expensive, newer barbershop that thought it was fancier and better but really I had to fix both of their hair every Single visit. Buckeye has been great since the first visit. I book the same guy, Dan every visit and the cut is perfect everytime. Atmosphere is great, close to home and efficient.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best barbershop around the greater Akron area, possibly in the entire state! No matter who gives you a crispy cut, whether it’s Roger, Dan, Dalibor, Ian or Phil, everyone is highly skilled and their attention to detail is on point. These dudes are highly entertaining, client centric and all around good people. Best of the best so forget the rest!
Fantastic experience: Took my son (6) here for the first time & he loved it, first time he’s almost fallen asleep getting his hair cut & that says a lot lol. Thank you for your time/service.
Fantastic experience: Hard to get an appointment between their hours and mine, but so worth the wait they do an amazing job on my grandson's hair
Fantastic experience: Great haircut and beard trimming. Always get it right. Won't go anywhere else. Great atmosphere and top shelf barbers.
Fantastic experience: Had my hair and beard done by Rodger, who was recommend by a coworker of mine. Very good guy and very skilled. All the guys there make an inviting environment.
Fantastic experience: Excellent barber shop. Dan took good care of me and did a great job with my haircut and beard trip and shaping. Recommended!
Fantastic experience: Just to offset the absurd reviews left by people that can't show up on time to their appointments and then want to get mad at the business and barbers who run it for not being able to complete their service. *Cough cough* Matthew Bard *Cough cough*. I've been getting my haircut here for 4 plus years now and have never had a bad experience. I also know how to be punctual, on-time for appointments, and I am literate. The atmosphere of this barber shop is first class and I can't recommend every chair in this place enough! As long as you can tell time and read location descriptions, you'll have a pleasant experience and a great cut!
Fantastic experience: Dalibor does it right! For a follicly-challenged barber, he always takes great care of my locks. The atmosphere and banter are top-notch as well. This is the best barber shop I've ever visited.
Fantastic experience: My old barber passed away a year ago been checking barbers out and decided yo go here. Really like it here will defiantly make it my new permanent place.
Fantastic experience: Got an excellent skin phased haircut. Roger is super friendly, personable and did a great job with my haircut. I will definitely go back.
Thank you for the great review Marcel! It was great meeting you as well and I am happy to hear that you like the haircut. See you next time my friend!
Fantastic experience: This is an excellent barbershop! Old school feel, with modern abilities. Can’t say enough good things about the whole crew there. Lucky to have them!
Fantastic experience: Ian was great dealing with our sons first haircut. He was able to navigate the moving and crying and give us an excellent final product with comforting our son the entire way. Couldn’t recommend enough
Fantastic experience: I got my hair and beard cut here today the Barber Dan did an excellent job I definitely recommend coming here for a haircut or beard trim!
Thank you David for trying us out! We hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: My 3 boys and I all get our hair cut here. You can't go wrong with any of the Barbers, they all do a wonderful job.
Fantastic experience: Our favorite barber shop! Love that they now have online scheduling. Not having to worry about a really long wait on a walk in takes away a lot of the stress for me and my son too. Roger cut my son's hair perfectly and all the guys are friendly, professional, etc. We left another barber a few years ago because they couldn't keep things PG when a kid was in the shop. I never have that problem at Buckeye!
Fantastic experience: Note: they only accept cash. Fortunately they are patient if you forget and have to go find some! This is a fantastic barber shop and the barbers really know what they're doing. My husband got a haircut here recently and it's most certainly one of the best haircuts he has ever had. They also cut kid's hair! I didn't know this at first and took my 3 year old son to Great Clips like I normally do. Unfortunately the results were pretty rough that day. I was worried it was too short to fix without buzzing it completely. But I took him to Buckeye and they did such a fantastic job, I was so pleased with the results! My husband and my son will be customers from here on out!
Fantastic experience: Dan is awesome. He not only cut my boys hair... he also flipped the tv to cartoons without me asking, spoke softly to the boys about what was happening and listened to me spill my guts over recent events in our life... all while producing great results! Today we got way more that just haircuts from Dan- we will absolutely go back and hope to be patrons for life! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I get my hair cut here every week. I haven't found another shop that can do better. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Sharp, clean and professional cut! I have been routinely coming to Buckeye for a year now and all I can say is that all the barbers there do a phenomenal job. Shoutout to Ian for always staying consistent and sharp when he cuts my hair. All the barbers there are 10/10. Go and see for yourself !
Positive experience: This place let me down. It’s reputation precedes it, and I have a friend who got a great cut from Buckeye. However, my experience was unlike his. My barber, Ian, although a very friendly guy, was a novice. I showed him two photos of what I was looking for, and this dude chopped off so much of my hair I nearly fainted when I saw the result. Additionally, there was no wash with the cut, and had it been offered I would have gladly paid extra. Also, he didn’t blow dry my hair so until I was able to take a shower I had many strands of cut hair falling off my head and bleeding into my hand. Clear cut sign of someone who doesn’t know what their doing. Personally, I probably could have got a better cut at a super cuts. If you’re looking for an easy simple cut, this place will suffice. If you want a styled cut like me, go to a salon.
Fantastic experience: I love going to Buckeye! The over all quality of cut is phenomenal and only slightly overshadows the over all cleanliness of the shop and the overall atmosphere that is in there with their staff and clients. Always a good time to go see the boys.
Fantastic experience: Top notch cut every time I go. New appt system is easy to use and makes your visit very efficient!! I get compliments after every visit. Great group of young passionate guys in their craft.
Fantastic experience: Ian does a great job every time. Feeling fresh and clean after 6 months of no haircuts. Thanks again.
Thank you for the review Ray! We appreciate your business!
Fantastic experience: This is an awesome barbershop! The barbers here are amazing and do a wonderful job everytime! Thanks! We will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Best place around! Dan and the team are great. Make sure you’re on time for your appointment, - they fill up fast because they’re in demand! Great service and a wonderful shop.
Fantastic experience: Probably hands down the best place in Akron to get a hair cut. Been going there for years now. No one comes close to the quality, and atmosphere they bring. I recommend to anyone who is looking for the right place to get your hair cut in a REAL barber shop.
Fantastic experience: Every. Single. Barber. Has crazy mad skills! There’s not a better barbershop around that has this kind of consistency from each barber on staff! Great group of people!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get a nice clean cut. All of the barbers do a excellent job! And I saw a review that said that Dan was rude?!?! He might be one of the most polite and nice guys around. Completely false on that review. Love all the barbers and they are fantastic!
Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome!!! We moved here two years ago from out of state and really struggled to find a good barber. After trying several shops and always leaving with horrible hair cuts, I was beginning to think there wasn’t a single good barber in Ohio. And then, I stumbled across the holy grail!!! 5 wonderfully talented and friendly barbers all in the same shop. We will never get our hair cut anywhere else!! If you’re as obsessed with your hair as my boys, give these guy a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been looking for a good barber for awhile in the North Canton area for my two boys. Couldn’t find one that I loved & the walk in franchises are hit & miss! Noticed several of my friends commenting on this barbershop - so we drove down to Ellet & tried it. Best cuts they’ve ever had! The guys were professional, yet light hearted and fun! You could tell they had a solid customer base that they know very well from the guys coming in & out! We’ve been back a few times & will continue. Thanks, Buckeye Barbershop! You’re the best!
Fantastic experience: Despite the new covid challenges they have done everything they can to still take care of all of their clients safely and effectively. Those posting negative reviews were really never supportive of this small community barbershop or deserve to be a client. You must respect others personally and professionally to earn it back. If others can follow the new appointment scheduling then so can everyone. Even though my 16 year old has multiple special needs and not the easiest at sitting still they have been amazing the 14+ years we have taken him there and even longer with my husband and older son. We love Buckeye Barbershop
Fantastic experience: The best barbershop around. All the barbers do an outstanding job. One loyal customer
Fantastic experience: Great group of barbers, always fun banter in the shop. All give a great cut, can’t go wrong with any of them. Highly recommended, you won’t go anywhere else once you get a cut here
Fantastic experience: Love this barbershop! My husband and son have been going there for years and always leave having the best cuts. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Since finding Buckeye Barber about 5 years ago from a referral of a friend, I haven’t went anywhere else since. The atmosphere and quality of cut that you get in this place is second to none. Always a great experience stopping into the shop!
Fantastic experience: This is the best barbershop i have ever been to. I have been going there for a few years now and me and my boys have never had a bad cut. Great guys and a great atmosphere.
Thanks Pat!
Fantastic experience: Everything about Buckeye is amazing. I have had the pleasure of having everyone there cut my hair and have not disappointed. The atmosphere is very inviting and every barber is very personable. I always refer my friends Buckeye and I will go nowhere else. 5 stars are not enough
Fantastic experience: I have been going to this shop for 10+ years, and as always the guys always produce quality cuts even on my ugly head! Great job Rodger,Dan,Philly and Ian!
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for about a year now and this is definitely the best place to go! They're craftsman not just barbers. Roger is the only person I trust to shape and trim my beard. I highly recommend them all! Great atmosphere, and great haircuts!
Fantastic experience: Got my hair cut and beard trimmed here a couple weeks ago as my son Andrew advised me. Roger took care of me and did a fantastic job. It's nice going to a shop where they don't move you out like cattle to get another in the chair.
Fantastic experience: We LOVE buckeye barbershop! My dad and brother go there all the time and love the environment and everyone who works there! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great haircut and awesome barbers.
Fantastic experience: Always great conversation and atmosphere. Plus, doesn't matter which barber you get, the cut is always on point. Best fades in the city.
Fantastic experience: Top notch barber shop. Guaranteed to get a great haircut regardless of which barber chair you sit in. Great barbers that treat their customers extremely well. Been a customer for over 15 years. A traditional barber shop that takes pride in their work.
Fantastic experience: These guys cut my husband Fonzi's hair, practically once a week. So obviously they're awesome! And they all seem genuinely nice from the number of times we've run into in the store while shopping.
Fantastic experience: You can't go wrong. You can sit in any of the barbers chair and get a great hair cut. They all cut your hair the right way the first time and every time.
Fantastic experience: Been getting my hair cut by this shop since 2004 ish. Great cut good price and a true barbershop experience. Thanks guys.
Thanks Bobby!
Fantastic experience: Grew up in Northeast Ohio. Searched high and low for a quality barbershop. Found this place through online reviews, tried it out, and never looked back. I would highly recommend this place! Staff Is super talented and thorough. FYI bring cash and don’t forget to tip. Not gonna get a cut like this anywhere for $14
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in NE Ohio. Awesome barbers and atmosphere. They’ll make you feel welcome with no shortage of laughs!
Fantastic experience: We love Buckeye Barbershop! I have 2 boys 13 and 2 and will never take them anywhere else. All of the barbers are awesome with my little guy and they always walk away with a great cut. It’s a very kid friendly atmosphere unlike so many other barbershops we have tried. Thanks for being so great Buckeye Barbershop!
Fantastic experience: Buckeye barbershop is the best barbershop. Great service, great fresh fades, and great barbers. Roger runs a business as fresh and tight as the fades they cut.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best barbershop around . I’ve been going here for over 20 years and will always go here for a haircut. I’m very particular with my hair, and they have several barbers I would trust cutting my hair at any given time. I would not mess around going to any other shop. Colonel Sanders Approved!
Fantastic experience: Roger and the rest of the crew have been cutting my hair for over ten years. The shop is clean and well-kept. Buckeye Barbershop is highly recommended and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my crispy, fresh fade.
