I was in SGF, desperate for an emergency hair and beard trim before a big video conference call that popped up on my calendar, so I decided to try Dapper Barber because it looked like a place I could trust to trim my beard correctly. Boy, am I glad I did! The owner, Sean, cut my hair and beard, and 1) my beard has never looked better, because 2) nobody has ever paid so much attention to detail and been so meticulous in shaping it. I walked into Dapper Barber looking frizzled and slightly homeless, and when I walked out, I felt like I could have stepped into a beard competition and had a fighting chance at a trophy. Sean also did an excellent job with my hair, and convinced me that I was combing my hair slightly wrong for the past decade, showed me a better way to do it, and then shaped the hair up around it, and it looks better. Why haven't the many barbers I've been to over the years noticed that and offered to fix it for me? IDK, but Sean did, and I'm grateful. He's truly an artist and a craftsman with scissors and clippers, and he's good company, too. Further, the ambiance at Dapper is... well, dapper. The place is like a museum of dapper gentlemanhood over the years. Next time I'm in town, I'll plan to be there longer for another hair and beard trim, and to spend extra time marveling at all the artifacts and curiosities around the shop. One could make men's I Spy books by taking pictures of the shop--and I'd buy that, too! It's a shame I live so far from SGF; otherwise, I'd never go to another barbershop again in my life. read more

Was turned away from getting service because I did not have an appointment even though 2 gentlemen were doing nothing. I felt the real reason I was not given service was because I was a straight white man. Will never go to this place again. The vibe of the business was not friendly. read more

Always have me a good haircut sad to be leaving Missouri state gonna have to find a new barber

Let me start by saying this place is cool. the atmosphere is unique, professional and worth just stepping in to check out. the service I received from Taylor Mills was top notch. I went in with a somewhat out of the ordinary cut and beard trim; Taylor went above and beyond to give me exactly what I wanted. highly recommend her and this barber shop. read more

I'm a black man and today I went in for a haircut and was immediately greeted by a friendly barber at an all white barbershop. He immediately told me that he wasn't experienced with cutting black people's hair and that is understandable because there is not a lot of diversity there However, this man gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I would definitely recommend this place and I will also be coming back every month. Good haircuts, great environment read more

The atmosphere is unmatched. I was greeted promptly when walking through the door by a truly kind soul a smile that was contagious, a passion for his craft you're unlikely to come by anywhere else. I can not say enough good things about this business. I travel worldwide and I will always find myself back in (Springfield, Missouri) at Dapper for my hair. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! read more

Dustin was super nice and did a fantastic job. Love the vibe of the shop. Great products and an awesome service. read more

Dapper Barber - Barbers Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

See all

The single best barbershop I've visited in the country. Not a single detail was spared when dreaming up the atmosphere for this place. Antique barber chairs that have been brought back to life and the same detail went into my cut time and time again. I've moved away from Springfield but each time I return I do my nest to try and get an appointment. Please never change Dapper. read more

This place is a gem!! I am not one to seek out pampering, but this place is awesome. It feels like you've been hurled back into the 19th century and Johnny who took care of me did an amazing job. I cannot recommend this place more whole-heartedly! read more

A truly great establishment for gentlemen to observe, converse and relax around other men. I'd heard about Dapper and was curious how they'd do with a hair cut and a beard trim. I keep a very full beard, but it can get a bit wild from time to time. Landon did a great job helping me reign it in a bit and get it looking real nice. I came in as a walk-in on the weekend and a spot was available in another hour so I stuck around to wait. A few members dropped in for a drink and struck up some very pleasant conversation. It's a nice opportunity to sit and enjoy a Saturday afternoon; relaxed conversation with whoever stops in, a drink to pass the time and a very cool atmosphere. This is an establishment that caters specifically to men. It provides an opportunity for men to get away from their daily responsibilities and allow them to rejuvenate amongst other gentlemen. This misunderstanding could be why Samantha R was frustrated that they wouldn't service her. It's not that they meant it to be rude or hateful, they just feel it is important to protect the haven of manhood that they've created. I will definitely be going back and I think I'll consider a membership. This is a unique chance to be a part of something with such character. read more

Shane Taylor is a pain in the ass, but Tannis and Kara are always taking care of business!

Shane cut my hair and took an hour to cut. Usually barbers cut my hair in 5 minutes. I appreciated the time he took. Very professional all the way. I even was offered a drink from their bar. The drink was the best I've ever had. The atmosphere and the professionalism is what will keep me going back! Getting a beard trim next! read more

First time in Missouri and these guys made me feel like I never left my hometown barber. My barber Michael was very professional, kind, and made me feel welcome. I highly recommend Dapper, their shop theme is extremely stylish, with very nice barbers! read more

The staff was really generous enough to let me give them some flyers for my kickboxing classes. The whole building is phenomenal. I never been in a shop soo big before. And it smelled really good in there real talk. Staff is full of talented kind people & I felt nothing but love walking in the door read more

The guys at Dapper strive for quality in everything they do. Sean promotes a lifestyle that has been lost, meeting with friends, socializing and sharing experiences. I have learned a lot from members and all of us have shared quite a few laughs together. In addition to it being a first-rate barber shop, Dapper is also a place to learn. Shaving classes, scotch tastings, and with a lot more to look forward to- it allows the opportunity to continually refine and improve yourself and your daily rituals. Dapper provides place to relax, enjoy a great haircut or shave, slow down the pace of an over-scheduled life and to socialize with good friends just like our grandfathers and great-grandfathers did. read more

Dapper Barber - $35 shave with missed spots by the mouth and under the nose. - Barbers Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

This place is simply awesome. It's a very chill environment. The interior setup feeds the rustic, old fashioned feeling. I haven't had someone cut my hair in nearly 10 years, so I figured it was time for something new. I met with Steven, who did a consult with me to figure out what style I would go for. He gave some great suggestions, and we decided on a do. He's a great guy, and we swapped family stories. He was quick, but man, he really paid attention to detail. Got to experience the essential oil infused steam towel with lavender, which was great. When he finished, and I got to see the finished product, I was blown away! It looked exactly like what we had discussed. My wife digs it too (extra bonus points). For the quality of the services and professionalism on display at Dapper, the price is a good value. This is so much more than your run of the mill salon appointment. These guys know their stuff and do it with excellence. Great job, Steven and Dapper team! read more

I have been getting my haircut with Jerica at Dapper for roughly three years. I love the atmosphere and the awesome work that Jerica does on my two boys and myself. read more

If you have a taste for the finer things in life and are possessed of a well-tuned appreciation for quality of service, entering Dapper for the first time will feel like coming home after a long, cold winter in the sartorial hinterlands. The attention to detail involved in creating this place cannot be overstated, nor can the lengths to which the staff will go to make you feel comfortable and valued. And, while you are welcome to order services a la carte, the benefits of membership are well worth the fee, to say nothing of the priceless friendships you will build with both employees and other patrons. At the end of the day, every man eventually needs his hair cut, and in the field of springs, there is no better place to have that done than Dapper. read more

I have been to Dapper "a fine gentlemens club" many times for a hair cut and trim, and can say the following from experience and with complete confidence. Ill give the meat and potatoes first that way you dont have read my full on review if you dont want. Meat and Potatoes: In my opinion, If you want a Barber It does not get better than this in Springfield. If you want a great hair cut, or wetshave this is the place. In addition, Dapper is a relaxed atmosphere that is friendly and usually full of other guys who enjoy socializing adding to the gentlemens environment. There is no rushed in and out vibe here. Come to Dapper to get a great hair cut, and relax. Men used to take pride in how they looked, Dapper gives that service back to its patrons. If you just need to get the hair out of your face then there are other places. if you want to step up your game Dapper is your home. I wont say its an old time barbershop because that makes it sound outdated, I think the best word to describe Dapper is 'Timeless'. Full Review: First off I would like to say thank you to Sean Brownfield for opening an establishment Downtown Springfield (MO) that shares the vision and mindful service that has long been missing. Thank you for investing in our town and thank you for setting the bar for Barbery in Springfield. I am a Springfield resident and love DWTN SGF; and have for over 12 years now. I want you to keep that in mind when you read the rest of my review. I also think its useful here to note Dapper is a barber, not a salon; there is a big difference. I like to base all my reviews on three elements. Atmosphere, Service, Price vs Service. Atmosphere: Fantastic, Rustic, timeless, manly. A great place to hang out. This place kills it! The owner took many months in collecting and designing the environment. I cant get into the history behind almost every piece of furniture in the shop because there is not enough time. But I will say the story behind the two barber chairs is incredible and I have told it nearly to everyone I know. If you dont even get a hair cut please go in and ask Sean (the owner) to tell you the story of the chairs. EPIC! When you walk in you instantly get the vibe of the shop. Its quality from the start. Well lit with a great view of DWTN. Another element that enhances the atmosphere that isnt hung on the walls would be the other patrons that come just to hang out and talk. Usually there are about 4-7 men just having a good time talking about whatever. They usually welcome anyone that comes into the door and you usually end up in the conversations. You get to meet new people and never walk away a stranger. This says something about a place that even if people are not getting haircuts this is where they choose to spend their time! Service: Solid, Classic, Full service usually with a consult, Ive always received an incredible hair cut and many great stories in the process. Go to the website downtowndapper.com and look at their menu as far as services go. The same care and attention that went into creating the menu will go into your haircut and experience. Side Note: There are a few good places in Springfield to get a hair cut and shave now and I think thats great! Men need to be treated better when it comes to grooming and im happy all these places are in Springfield. Dapper set a standard I have not seen others keep, focusing on the customer rather than time, or cost per customer. When you are there its your place and you get treated like that. Price vs. Service: Spot on! I live my life by the moto-"only the poor can afford the best" simply meaning Quality over gimmick and quantity. I am stategic in how i spend my money, I dont waste time on things I dont like and I certainly dont want a 'value' haircut. The investment meets the return at Dapper. No two ways about it. read more

Simply put, Dapper is the absolute best barbershop in town and quite frankly, probably the country. I, for one, can't imagine a better experience than I always have there, The owner and one of the barbers, Sean, is experienced, talented, and passionate about cutting hair. He knows the history of hair and has traveled the country over the years getting better and better at his craft. Besides the talented staff, what sets Dapper apart is the warm and inviting atmosphere created by Sean and the space they have. You'll feel as if you have stepped into the late 1800's when you walk in and as an added bonus, Sean can tell you the history of every piece of decor you see. Until I went to Dapper, I tried various salons, barbershops, and even Too Hotties and was always dissatisfied each time I went for a haircut. I have been going to Dapper for about a year and a half now and I can honestly say each time is a 10/10 experience for me. The prices are fair, the staff is friendly and talented and they have a unique decor. You simply won't find a better place for your grooming needs. Dapper also provides straight razor shaves, beard trims, cold cucumber and hot towel treatments, shoe shines and more. Also be sure to download their app which allows you to schedule, re-schedule or cancel an appointment in literally 15 seconds. read more

Awesome dudes that cut some awesome dapper-do's!!! It's worth the money to get a professional cut. Real chill laid back music playing at all times and old school chairs make for a great atmosphere! Plus they offer a free beer with a haircut. read more

Dapper is a pretty amazing place to go, they offer a wide range of services from a simple hair cut to essential oil towels. Mica is a clutch barber he can make an ugly guy like me look like a million bucks, so hats off. read more

Absolutely excellent experience at Dapper. Went in with a semi-solid idea of what I wanted, but let T.J. take care of the rest. He made my hair look amazing, and had great conversation while doing it. After going to Hudson Hawk for a while, I will for sure transfer to here. A little bit more money, but a better haircut and its not as busy, with a more intimate vibe. read more

Dapper has been the best barber shop experience that I have ever had. Is like stepping back in time and just being able to relax and enjoy time spent among men. I highly recommend it and last time that I was in there TJ did an absolutely amazing job. So give them a try! Absolutely great place! read more

T.J. Morgan has cut my hair twice now and both times I have been happy with my haircut. I've never been to a barbershop like Dapper. T.J. treats you like a friend every time you walk in and the service is just awesome all around! read more

I'm giving Dapper two stars for the cool atmosphere of an old time barbershop. And that's where it ends. I decided to purchase a gift certificate for my husband and father in law. I had to drive to the shop (40 minutes) to actually purchase the gift certificate. My husband did not get the services promised. The owner, Sean, gave my husband a shave on the house after I complained. He was very gracious, so I thought I'd try again this year. You still can't purchase a gift certificate on line, calls are not returned, promises not kept. I would not recommend going through the hassle of getting your haircut and shave at Dapper. Prices are way to high and in my opinion, not worth the frustration. read more
