Mac's Barber Shop

Fantastic experience: Doug is the only person I would trust to visit, his prices are more than fair and the quality is top tier. Has a good nostalgic vibe to it and he is a good Christian man. 15/10

Fantastic experience: Great staff, atmosphere and cuts!

Fantastic experience: Only place I go to get fresh undercut. Absolutely love the atmosphere in there. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Nice folks. Chase got me squared away fast. Thanks.

Positive experience: Mac's is great! If you go on a Saturday, they've typically got 4-6 stylists ready to help. Get there early, because there is a wait and they aren't open all day. Cash and cards are accepted and they have great pricing ($15 for a basic cut). Never had a bad cut here, but have had plenty of bad cuts elsewhere over the years. As an added bonus, they'll give you a straight razor cut on your neck and finish with a warm towel.

Fantastic experience: Husband has been too same Barber for 58 years, started going to Mac's in Karns, and he is happy with em.. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Ian was awesome. Very personable and did a fantastic job.

Fantastic experience: Byfar the best barbershop ever. Staff is always friendly and haircut is very reasonably priced.

Fantastic experience: Love getting a fresh cut from Macs. Everyone does a wonderful job and the environment of the shop is just all around great.

Negative experience: Worst haircut I ever got. I asked for scissor cut and did not get it. Hair was cut so short on sides of my head you could see my scalp. You get what you pay for I guess. Just moved here and really bad experience. If you want a fast haircut this is the place to go. I did notice it until I got home and my wife said what happened to your hair?

Fantastic experience: Best place great people, doug, tyler, Ian are great people to get your haircut from

Fantastic experience: Love this place! And great prices!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Mac’s six weeks ago; weekly for a shave and every other week for a haircut. First of all, I was incredibly fortunate that the first barber with whom I was dealing with was Ian. I’m sure the other barbers are exceptionally talented, but Ian is and will be my go to. Secondly, Mac’s is an old school barbershop. You like nostalgia and easy going, Mac’s has got it. I only wish appointments were available. The wait time can sometimes be onerous.

Fantastic experience: It don't matter who cuts your hair, they all do a great job.

Positive experience: Reminded me of Floyd Lawson's Barbershop on Mayberry RFD ... That's all the good I have to say about it...

Fantastic experience: I wouldn't let anyone else cut my hair doug is like family I don't have to say anything he already knows my cut

Fantastic experience: A true barbershop. No appointment needed and does straight shaves. Ian was my barber and did a great job. Will definitely come back here

Fantastic experience: Good vibes and prices. Peach is an amazing barber. She gives me exactly what I want every single time!

Fantastic experience: Best place in the world to get a haircut. Has a small town feel and the barbers are great!

Fantastic experience: Ian did a great job. This is my new barbershop. Great folks work here, easy going, and a fair price. Thanks y'all!

Fantastic experience: Great Barber Shop. Definitely worth the 20-minute drive. Always friendly and quick. Great atmosphere. Mac treats his people well.

Fantastic experience: First visit and I was happily surprised. Fantastic haircut and neck shave... have not had a hot lather neck shave in over 40 years. Full of awesome surprises. See ya all again soon. Great, great, great service and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get your hair cut or styled. No reservation neccessary. Walk in - put your name on the list.

Fantastic experience: Never disappointed when I leave. Super friendly staff and it's like a time capsule in there. Really co!

Fantastic experience: Great service every time! Would not go anywhere else. Thank you all for your excellent service!

Fantastic experience: Mac is the best barber. He won't let you down. Guaranteed

Fantastic experience: My husband really likes the haircuts he gets at Macs. They do a good job & are reasonably priced

Fantastic experience: Ian gave me the best fade I’ve had since I moved to TN almost two years ago. Mac’s is a nice, old school barber shop that is reasonably priced! If you’re like I was, tired of all these new age hipster shops requiring an appointment and then charging $40+ for the equivalent of a “Sports Clips” cut, then Mac’s is for you.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for years. The new location is absolutely amazing! Tyler is my go-to but all the barbers are great!

Fantastic experience: Great barber! Did an amazing job on my hair! If I wasn’t from out of town this would def be my go to barber!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, and they all do a good job cutting hair. New location they are busy. Monday and Tuesday opens at 0630.

Fantastic experience: We love Macs and have gotten to the point that we won't go anywhere else. My family and I always get a great looking consistent cut here. I'd recommend any of the barbers that work here. They even do a straight blade neck trim and warm towel after your cut, it's amazing :) Doug is a great guy and runs a tight ship. 10/10 barber shop in my book!

Fantastic experience: Most definitely worth it!!! Amazing place. I'm so glad God sent me to this one. Amazing service. I highly recommend going.

Fantastic experience: Macs got me right thank you please read all- that being said here’s how I ended up there… My regular stylist is on vacation, so I decided to support a local shop grand opening, never been to this shop I won’t name, long story short I think I was that person first hair cut, I have a simple men’s hair cut and could have cut it better myself. Truly and hair is not my profession, I have headshots at work on Thursday, needless to say I’m freaking out, so I searched another local shop that had a 10yr+ reputation. Not only did they fix the previous hair cut but did it just as a solid!! Wouldn’t take my money, so whether it’s your first cut or fixing a mistake from another I highly recommend Mac’s and hope this post brings you many many clients!!

Fantastic experience: Best haircut in town and it's only $15 bucks! Mac's is a great barber shop and tremendous community supporter. Go see Doug and tell him Chris Morton sent you.

Fantastic experience: Did an excellent job with my 2 year old son who has sensory issues. We will definitely be back for more haircuts.

Fantastic experience: Visited for the first time during a time when nobody was open. I’ll leave it at that. A man must feed his family. Their friendly environment and unwavering determination in having you leave with the result you were looking for is second to none. And don’t get me started on their pricing. If you could find this kind of quality anywhere else, it would cost you double at least.

Fantastic experience: Love these guys, been a loyal customer for years. Haven't had a bad cut from any of the barbers. Tyler and Mac have always been my go too, but everyone has cut my hair.

Fantastic experience: This is my first time to Knoxville and my first time at Mac's. Awesome service, awesome conversation! Will come back my next time in town.

Fantastic experience: Son and I been going here since we moved back in 2019 and you can’t get any better than this anywhere . Great barbers and even motivated my son to become a barber.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience. Great prices for the haircut, even did the hot towel neck shave. The barber was very friendly and personable. They'll just get you right in!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place i found them about 9 wks ago and im a 3 week regular now if your looking forra barber thts easy on the wallet and does real solid wrk go ko further

Fantastic experience: Fast service when we went. Fun atmosphere, filled with memorabilia from the late 70s onward.

Fantastic experience: I've been in search of a new barber and I have found one just went in yesterday on 4/15/24 and got the best haircut I've had in some time I will be going back for sure good folks and great hair cut worth every dollar spent just can't remember the barbers name but his dad is Mac

Fantastic experience: I am 24 years old and have been a great clips guy my entire life. Last week I was in desperate need of a haircut, before we take our vacation. I asked my gf for her recommendation and without hesitation, she said Mac's. Literally less than a 3 minute drive from the house. The hospitality in the shop is immaculate. I walked in. Put my name on the sign in sheet. And next thing I know. The guy that was sitting on the bench put front came in behind me, looked at the sheet and says "JAMES!!" *my names Jarrod, but he was definitely looking for me* I correct him and he says "Sorry, they didn't teach us how to read at Karns". Amd after that I knew it was gonna be good. He was very social and approachable. Me and my gf are both on the spectrum and struggle in that area a bit lol. But he made it easy and comfortable. He incorporated her into the cut. Especially when the 4 inch beard hit the floor, lol. Overall. Tyler if you're reading this the cut was great, the atmosphere was great. And the price was so good. I showed up w the expectation of paying 3x what he charged me. I got a good haircut and conversation. And Mac's Barbershop got a new loyal customer.

Fantastic experience: Great guys. Great haircuts. Great prices.

Fantastic experience: I drive all the way from Kingston to get a cut at Mac's! Great old school barber shop with some awesome 70s and 80s stuff on the walls. Friendliest place around!

Fantastic experience: Love this barber shop. All of their barbers do great at cutting my hair and they treat my son well and cut his hair exactly as asked. They are very kid friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love Mac's.....always the best haircut in town

Fantastic experience: Finally found a great barber. Thank you Doug for the shave I feel human again. You gained another lifetime customer.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a good local barber, and I found it. Today was my first time at Mac's and it certainly will not be my last. I received a great cut and beard clean up.

Fantastic experience: I'm from Ohio, heading down to Florida to see our daughter. I've been a barber for 34 years. Was looking for a good, old fashioned Barbershop. I arrived about 10 minutes before they actually opened. Doug took me right away! Loved the atmosphere and decor of the shop! Very retro and sports themed. Great haircut. Better than most high end shops. Gave me exactly what I asked for. Neck shave and hot towel to the scalp was a great finish! Can't beat the price! I wish you luck in your move! Hope to come back some day!

Fantastic experience: Our son Aaron loves coming to get his hair cut. He is 19 with Aspergers and truly appreciates how he can talk freely and always has great conversations with the guys! As a mom, I cannot express how much that warms my heart. You have a great group of guts there!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a haircut watch some old westerns and cut up

Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in town. These barbers run circles around literally any other shop in town. They are down to earth, no nonsense, and know exactly what you want, and can get you a great cut and razor shave in 15mins or less that’s better than 90% of what anywhere else in town can do.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place great people and the wait time is not terrible at all the man who cut my hair Tyler is a great guy never have I had a conversation the whole time my hairs been cut till now definitely recommend and will for sure be back!!

Fantastic experience: Doug was absolutely amazing! He was so kind and personable. He went out of his way to give my father in law a haircut after he has been in the hospital, bed bound, for 3 months. He did an excellent job cleaning him up - hair, facial hair - the works! We won’t go anywhere else moving forward! Thank you, Doug, for showing us that there are still good people in the world!

Positive experience: Small but quaint. Felt good to be back in an actual barbershop instead of a fake barbershop like those franchises.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Good cuts and reasonable prices

Fantastic experience: Real good experience. Highly recommend going there if you need a good barber

Fantastic experience: Wonderful local shop that cares about doing things the right way. Keep it local and check ‘em out!!

Fantastic experience: My first time taking my 2.5 year old son to a barber and they did not disappoint. I’m super happy with how his hair turned out, and they were very patient with him. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal folks @ Mac’s. Good ole boys with hearts of gold. Best barbershop around.

Fantastic experience: Done good work and did a good job with an autistic child's hair. Definitely a go to barber.

Fantastic experience: Doug did an awesome job on my 4yr olds hair and made an awesome shark design

Positive experience: Great haircut. Done to what you want. Outstanding Barber. Couldn't ask for a better haircut.

Positive experience: Doug does a good job and is pleasant to converse with. Shop is decorated with antiques and is cozy. Update as of 1-6-23. Still a great shop with four barbers cutting today. I use Doug or Tyler, quite satisfied with either. It's generally pretty busy, so you may get right in a chair, or you may have to wait. Talk to Tyler about bowfishing...

Fantastic experience: Best barber shop in Knoxville. Me and my dad use Tyler at Mac’s, and he always does an amazing job

Fantastic experience: This barber shop is great with friendly people! Best haircut from a shop I have had in years

Fantastic experience: Going to Mac's Barber Shop is like stepping back in time as it contains memorabilia from different eras of time throughout the shop. The barbers have amazing talents. They are able to cut my sons hair and make them look great everytime. The prices are also the best in town.

Fantastic experience: Great people awesome barber shop check them out you will not be disappointed. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Great barber shop! Full of fun nostalgic games and toys to check out while you wait! I love that the Andy Griffith show was playing on their TVs. The owner, Doug, is a great guy and a great barber. Come check them out!
