It's nice to walk into a place that's clean, well stocked, nicely set up, and gives great haircuts. The staff is friendly and really knows their stuff. My go to shop from here on in. read more

Disorganized; does not return calls ~ literally no voice mail ... 3 stars because the location is good ~ and the stylist is very good.

The path of life leads through many changes, and mine includes a changing cast of hair-cutting professionals. So it seemed a perfect birthday quest to search for a new barber, one specializing in beards. That's how I ended up at Dapper Gents, at the beginning of its second week of beard trims following Covid-19 restrictions. Those who have seen my old "Suburbanite in STL" list may remember how important parking and approach are to me. If you have similar concerns, then you may like to know that street parking is not too difficult. In the canyon of Washington Avenue, my "ParkLouie" app was rather slow, so I fed my charge card into the parking meter, no problem. And, if you're looking for the correct entry to Dapper Gents among the multiple doors of 1000 Washington, you go toward the entry "east" and middle of the block, not the one near the cigar place "west" at the corner of 11th St. Michael A. did a great job! Friendly, attentive to direction, fade cut (and beard trim) in the top tier of all cuts ever. Covid-19 concerns? All staff and clients wore masks, mine removed only for the beard trim. When the cut was complete, I was offered a drink from the cooler, and chose a Fitz's Diet Cream Soda. Thanks, Dapper Gents, and Happy BD to me. read more

If you want to leave thinking "Damn I'm handsome." This is the spot. Seriously though, I love this place. Tucker does a fantastic job every time. Knew I'd be a repeat customer after the first appointment. Always been an enjoyable, friendly experience. Always better than what I could have asked for. read more

I love Dapper Gents. I always look forward to my monthly haircut and beard trim with Carrie. She's such a professional and I really appreciate her attention to details. Everyone in the shop is very kind. The place is always clean. Gentlemen is you've never had a straight razor shave do yourself a favor and book one at Dapper Gents. You won't be disappointed. read more

I cam here when I was on my way to my brothers wedding in October. It was the first (and only) time I had a professional haircut during the last year of covidland. I got a haircut and beard trim (honestly I don't have much hair) so look at some of these less follicly challenged individuals for better reviews. 1) Covid response measure - they did a great job-- masks for everyone when possible, temperature check at the door. No complaints-- in a situation that is honestly a bit risky, they went out of their way to make it as safe as possible. 2) my stylist-- honestly, I don't remember his name-- he was great. Enough conversation to keep things moving without trying to go in depth on any particular topic. 3) Decor -- the place felt very masculine. Exposed brick, leathers, and wood-- a nice assortment of products I would have browsed in more earnestness in a different time. 4) Outcome-- the haircut and beard trim were flawless. My facial hair lays pretty flat and can sometimes be a challenge for barbers and he had no trouble at all. 5) Pricing -- cheap for chicago, probably on the higher end for St. Louis but it was a great value in my mind. I'll return if I am ever running through STL and need a trim. read more

Awesome cut !! I've had at least 6 compliments in the last 2 hrs.... I'm def coming hereagain next time I'm passing thru !!! read more

UPDATE.....you're not going to like this.. Well, I when back to see Carrie to get my hair back in shape. First, I'm still liking the decor and then"feel" of the shop. Second, I like that Carrie followed up on how I liked my haircut and how it worked out for me. We went over some minor tweaks and she got to work. So after she finished cutting and trimming got is washed (best part, I could fall asleep. LOL), then back to the chair for adding product and styling. Here's the part you're not gonna like... So, after she finish she had me look it over in the mirror. I couldn't believe it, another Awesome haircut! I know, you're asking yourself, so what am I not going to like? Well, you're not liking that you haven't been to Dapper Gents to see Carrie to get your haircut. ;-) read more

I love this place. The atmosphere is great, the staff is always friendly. I've been coming here since I moved into the area, and Carrie always does an amazing job taming my beard. read more

I (Johnnie) decided to grow my facial hair this autumn. I'd never had a beard or mustache. I let it all grow out for almost seven weeks, then booked an appointment at Dapper Gents to get it straightened up. I'm looking for work and need to look really sharp in a suit and tie. I booked Brooke for a beard trim and haircut. Prior to my appointment, I asked my wife to find a pic online of a good, professional cut and beard, and she texts me a picture of David Beckham looking like champagne and money. I said "Babe, they're barbers, not magicians!" Then I went over there. Brooke is very sweet and professional and a good conversationalist. She is adroit with the clippers and the scissors-over-comb, and she made my messy mop of hair look like C-suite money in no time. Next she tamed my beard and trimmed it beautifully. I felt like I looked like a bum when I went in there, but now I feel like an executive. She applied a great smelling beard oil and took care to do a final once- over of the whole job, clipping here and there. Oh she also trimmed my eyebrows. MOST IMPORTANT PART: When my wife (Lovie) got home from work, she wanted to attack me and throw me into bed! She loves the look. I will be back. You should go there too. read more

Went in to get a fade for the first time at this spot. The place is top notch. The service is to be respected. Alvarez is a pro who has earned my trust in the future. read more

Michael has been cutting my hair since I moved to St. Louis and he does an amazing job! He makes sure to give you the exact haircut you are looking and is great to talk with. I don't think I would go anywhere else in St. Louis. read more

This place is incredible unlike any other barbershop I have been to. The space is magnificent and the products are top notch. I have never seen this much class and sophistication in one place. The hot towel shaves are incredible and you literally don't want to get out of the chair when it's time to. This place is the one stop shop for any man looking to get cleaned up, cuts,shaves, grooming products, menswear, shoe shines and to top it off complimentary beverages. I highly recommend. read more

I have been coming to Dapper Gents for two years for my beard trim and hot shave. Dapper Gents is customer centric and staffed with consummate professionals that take their craft very seriously. Carrie, Tara and Christy are fantastic! I also bring my nine year old son here for his haircuts. Electric trimmers bother him and Dapper Gents provide him with a scissor cut that he loves. read more

This place is amazing. Carrie did and absolutely phenomenal job and I will definitely be a return customer. The entire leather lounge vibe is very cozy and inviting. I got there an hour early due to snow and did not mind waiting. Complimentary coffee and a fridge of complimentary drinks are readily available as is nearly every beard accessory this world has to offer. The amount of time Carrie took to make sure my beard was perfectly edged and faded is a testimony to the craft they are selling that this isn't just a barbershop....this is a legit grooming lounge. The hot towel, shoulder and scalp massage and the tailored haircut were all extremely relaxing and top notch. You can go anywhere for a haircut and beard trim, but you go to Dapper Gents to fully immerse yourself in an fantastic atmosphere where a guy can relax and look his best. read more

To call Dapper Gents a barbershop is an insult, they are just what they say a grooming lounge. Upon arriving you are greeted by hellos and smiling faces, there's a plush leather sofa in the seating area and you are offered you choice of drink while you wait. I personally go to Darrell and he has to be one of if not the best barber in Saint Louis, I have trusted him with the care of my beard and from grooming tips to razor sharp edging he provides is second to known. They also carry every product a true gentleman could want in addition to clothing, shoe shining services and custom clothing measuring. Treat yourself and make an appointment at Dapper Gents to take you grooming game to the next level! read more

Living in the city there are so many small businesses to explore. While walking down Washington Ave. one night with my fiancé I happen to notice a new place open. Curious, we went inside. Earlier that day we had tried to make an appointment at Blades to get my fiancés hair cut but had no openings so, we were pleasantly surprised to find out this little gem was a barber shop. A woman named Hillary cut his hair and did an amazing job, best hair cut he has gotten since we moved here. They also had appetizers and drinks which was nice. They also sell some men's clothing. I highly recommend checking them out read more

Dapper Gents - Barbers Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I've been coming here for my haircuts whenever I'm in town for about the last year. I was looking to start wearing my hair in a "hipper" fashion, and Dapper Gents was just the place to help me do it. While their rate might be a bit above what you're used to paying for a haircut, it's worth every penny in this case. I've typically seen Katie (though, thanks to hasty appointment scheduling, I've seen Kaylie once); both of them have done excellent jobs every time I've gone in. They keep files on your appointments so you can keep track of what you like and don't like; something that I appreciate as I attempt to figure out exactly what hairstyle I want long term. The ambiance of the place is very nice. Manly without feeling macho or insecure. They have a wide array of high end grooming products and mens fashion. I haven't bought anything from them, but they seem to have pretty decent brands in stock. My one idea is that they could use a bit more choice in pomades (they carry Uppercut, which isn't really very popular amongst those serious about their pomade choice). read more

Gentlemen, This is one of the best reasons to move to Saint Louis. More specifically, Hilary, or "Hill," is one of the best reasons to move to Saint Louis. Born and raised in Asia, I have lived all over the US including San Fran, city of Angels, "Mistake by the Lake," and of course Saint Louis. For many years I just resigned myself to the idea that the best haircut I would ever get would be back in the motherland in Asia; and I don't have that kind of money to fly back just for a haircut. I could never find a consistent stylist who could deliver, partly because Asian hair isn't easy to do. Hilary exceeded expectations; EVERY time. This isn't your $15 haircut. It's worth much more than what they charge, also, because they're all really nice people and really care about their work. Don't waste your time. Treat yourself. It's worth every penny. PS: Seriously. Because of Hilary, I'm considering finding ways to fly back to Saint Louis, just to get my hair done by her every few months. PPS: Hill, if you're reading this, thank you, thank you, thank you. You'll have to let me know if you ever move. read more

Great experience 100% satisfied. This is a lost art and I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit this place while in town.

The store is really laid out well and has some interesting stuff. Razors are very expensive, upwards of $100.00+. Three female staff members all talking socially to one guy. The other customers in the shop evidentially left to their own devices. Never did get an explanation on why the razors were so expensive. They came from London, so maybe that's why. Staff needs to engage their customers. read more

Headed downtown to get a haircut after making an appointment. I'm about an hour and a so away from my appointment time and got a phone call saying they cancelled the appointment because of a call in. Got told they can't do anything today. Just sucks read more

This place is as good as it gets! The large space is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is great! Today was my first time here. And as soon as I walked through the door, I was offered a beverage. My hair was cut by Hillary. If I remember correctly, she told me that she has 5 years of experience under her belt. She does a fantastic job in making sure you get what you pay for. Hillary took her time when cutting my hair while also asking me questions on what I wanted. When I wasn't sure, she gave advice on what she thought would look best. I find it appealing that they keep notes on how they cut your hair. I find that to be helpful, because I'm positive that whenever I return, they will know exactly what I want. After the cut, she laid a towel on my eyes, rinsed my hair out, and took out the straight razor to clean up the fine details. And after that, there was even a short complimentary shoulder massage! I really enjoy this barbershop and I'm sure this is the place that I am going to come back to, time after time. The quality of their workmanship is amazing, and everything about the place screams "Dapper." I must also point out that this isn't just a barber shop. They also sell clothing, shoes, and accessories, as well as shaving supplies (shaving cream, straight razors, safety razors), and grooming supplies! I can't wait to come back and see their selection as well as get my shoes shined! I really recommend this place! If you can spare $39.00 for a tailored haircut, do it. If you think it's too expensive, do it anyway. You won't be disappointed! I promise! read more

Neat place. The decor is masculine and cool. The staff were friendly, attractive, and good at their jobs. Before the shave, there is a lounge area available equipped with leather sundries available for purchase. Most of the items (shoes, shoulder bags, watches, etc.) were out of my price range. In fact, most of the items were not in my wheelhouse to begin with, but there were cool things to look at before the service. Katie, my barber of the moment, offered a complimentary drink. I looked around but saw no booze, prepare for sodas. The window faces Washington Avenue and provides a cool spot to people watch as Katie lets loose with her shears. My shave took about 25 minutes and cost about $45. With the full beard she wiped away, I was happy to pony up. I won't be a regular here, but I will recommend it for special occasions. Did I mention Katie was good looking too? read more

I stopped in here while I was in turn and in much need of a haircut. Brooke did an amazing job and very pleasant to chat with during the cut. Besides haircuts the store has some great clothing brands and accessories. Will definitely drop back in on my next trip to St Louis. read more

I just left Dapper Gents and because of the excellent service I received there I felt compelled to leave a review. I was extremely happy with my straight razor shave. The skill level of my barber was immediately clear. He did a fantastic job!Everyone was very friendly and inviting. I will be back!! Thank you. read more

Needed a haircut and a beard trim before a wedding and received a fantastic cut on both. Talked with the barber before he started and received exactly what I was looking for. Staff were all very kind and welcoming, would recommend to anyone looking for a shave, beard trim, or haircut. read more

This is the place to go if you want a professional hair cut and a nice relaxing time. I booked an appointment online with Brooke after seeing so many great reviews. I was greeted at the door with a good selection of drinks while I waited. I waited no longer then 10 minutes on a Friday afternoon. Brooke asked what I wanted and being my first haircut since December, I gave very little description of what I wanted and told Brooke to do whatever she thinks is best. She did an amazing job at getting every detail perfect. From start to finish, this is the best haircut and barber I have ever had. I'll be back soon. Thank you!!! read more

Place is the best. I go once a month. Carrie is awesome. My beard is amazing. Highly recommended. This is a proper barber shop.

This was my first time at Dapper and I couldn't have ask for a better experience. The atmosphere was warm and the staff was great. Brooke took great care of me and is a good conversationalist. I'll definitely be back!! read more

I called to get a same day appointment, but they were full. After taking my # they called me back in a couple hours after they had a cancellation which was great. They were right on time when I showed up and gave me great haircut. It's trendy but conservative enough for work. More expensive than most haircuts I've had, but worth it. Also good to support a local business. Only reason not 5 stars is that the shop part of the store could have a better selection and more to offer. I'll definitely be back. read more

I have been going to Dapper Gents for a few years now. I really enjoy the feeling when ever I go in for an appointment. The entire team of staff is friendly and nice. They feel like a family, and you can tell as soon as you walk into the store. If want a quality cut where every employee knows your name and you know theirs this is the place to go. read more

Stopped into Dapper Gents last weekend looking for a leather Dopp kit. They didn't have one in stock but Matt told me he'd look for something online from one of their providers and get back to me. Two days later I got a text from Matt with three options that were all great. He went above and beyond to accommodate me. Great customer service Dapper Gents. Thanks Matt! read more

Greta experience! Tara is awesome! Would recommend to everyone!! I go here for all my hair cuts and to get my hair products!

There is a saying "One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch" unfortunately that was my experience. My normal stylist was not available so I had to go with another stylist "Michael". I had an appointment set, prepaid for my requested services. I receive a text from Michael the night before my appointment saying that he would not be available do to a Family emergency. He would assist me with getting another stylist to do the services, I ended up having to go to Dapper Gents to try to work things out, I was told Michael would be able to provide the services that next day. In speaking to Michael he advised he could provide one of the services I had prepaid for, Huh. I asked why? never to be given and answer. I think this was very unprofessional and gives this establishment a Black Eye. It was very unprofessional and in poor taste. Next time I will just have to wait for my Stylist "Carrie" who is the Bomb. Customer Service is what drives businesses, be careful who you let represent your Brand. read more

I'm very particular about my haircuts especially given the public nature of the work I do. It has taken me almost 20 years the find the right stylist and she's at Dapper Gents. I will never go anywhere else as long as they exist. If you dream of leather, tobacco, and great styling, then I highly recommend this space. Great atmosphere. Great employees. read more

Perfect experience. Carrie did a wonderful job and it was my initial visit with her. She took one look at a prior photo for reference and my cut was spot on. Thank you so much! read more

I was recommended Dapper Gents by a buddy that had just gone there recently. I called them and easily made an appointment for the next day with Brooke. when it came to doing something with my beard I was having a hard time articulating what I wanted, but Brooke knew exactly what would look good with my beard. I put my faith and beard in her hands, laid back with a hot towel and a short time later I looked in the mirror, and couldn't be happier with the results! Go see to Dapper Gents, and if she's available make an appointment with Brooke, you WON'T be disappointed! I'll be back for sure!! read more

I've never been a fan of haircuts and usually when I go and get one I expect the worst. This was NOT the case today! Kaile cut my hair and was an absolute master. She knew exactly what I wanted to do with my hair and was very easy to talk with and to. I just moved here and I'm glad to say I have a hair stylist now. read more
