Erika can't follow directions and i was very unsatisfied and mistreated. She kept ordering me to do things (that i have never had to do for any other barber) She also messed up my hair, i asked for a trim and i basically have a buzz cut now. There was no point in going there. I will include photos of what i looked like and then what she did. You can clearly see in the photo that she did not give me a simple trim. I am very unsatisfied and will not be coming back to this location or any other gents location in fact. If you want an actual good haircut go to Meghan not this bullshit of a barber named Erika. read more

I had a great experience. Just came back for my second cut with Rose. She was great. Asked good questions, listened to my answers. Offered her opinion when I asked. I liked what she did - enough to come back again. I also liked that she is friendly but not constantly talkative. I've already booked my next cut. read more

got the worst haircut I could have ever gotten here. If you get Leslie ask for someone else she is beyond careless with what she does. So serious right now too ask for anyone but Leslie. she will mess up your hair so bad. read more

save your money, tried to call and speak with staff the dude hangs up. absolute awful establishment and terrible staff. get your team trained correctly on how to answer the phone and not hangup on your customers lol pissed me off and ruined the day! read more

Weeks ago I made an appt because I desperately needed a haircut. $52+tip here we are and i desperately need a haircut. Wife didn't notice and that's my telltale sign....she notices everything. So for $62 I had some little hairs trimmed up. Not worth it. (One extra star for the shampoo which is always a good touch) read more

Good haircut. Decent service, nice folks. Good location. Took a late reservation and the prices are reasonable.

I've never left a bad review before anywhere but felt the need to here. I had gone to the Saint Paul location a few years back and really enjoyed the experience. Moving to Edina I naturally decided to try out this location as well. I'm fairly picky with my barbers but trusted the expertise of this location considering that demonstrated at the last. I came in with specific instructions involving length, shape, cowlick location, and areas of my head to avoid hitting from skin malformation. I provided specific pictures and video references of a hair cut I wanted. I grew my hair out for months but it was all reverted within 30 minutes. I realize that all heads and hair types are different. But the length at which my hair was at before and how it laid was perfectly suited for this style. Firstly, my barber hit one of my malformations so many times that I am still profusely bleeding even after warning of it and it's specific location (You should be able to see it in the pictures actually). Second, after warning of the area In which my cowlick resided and how I wanted to keep it a certain length because the weight allowed it to rest better it was instead shaven down entirely. I picked the hairstyle I have provided in the pictures to allow for this modification with my cowlick for a reason and that reason was tossed to the side immediately. Third, the hair cut barely resembles the one I asked for with the top and front looking shorter along with the sides being entirely too short even nearing the top where I had obviously pointed out multiple times that I wanted to keep weight in my hair because I had been working to grow it out in that area to accommodate my cowlick. I'm at an age where I've run into bad haircuts so many times that it is unbelievably frustrating when I get another one. I know how my hair likes to sit, I know the way it likes to lay, I know where it needs to be weighted for me to like it, I know how my cowlick likes to act up and how to prevent that. I know that I need to grow my hair out for a long time in order for this cut to be achievable which I did. Because of all this I always come in prepared with instructions and examples of what I'd like to have and I don't understand how people cannot get that right. I loved the Saint Paul location and was hoping the best for this one because it is a great establishment. The barber was nice but it seemed like he was overworked and tired after a long day so I don't hate him for it. He did seem to be talented at what he did and took time in his work ,but, he didn't pay attention to nearly anything I told or showed him. Over all I'm just extremely dissatisfied with what happened to me and really hope that it doesn't happen again. read more

I went in because my partner booked me a beard trimming to look nice for a wedding the next day. When I got to the seat, the barber asked what I wanted, I said I really just needed it cleaned up to look nice for a wedding. He then proceeded to start giving me a haircut, which I just assumed was part of the package having not booked it myself. After about a minute he said he was done and I realized something was wrong, so I said that I was expecting a beard trimming. It was only then that he checked his schedule to see what I was signed up for, and we proceeded with the beard trimming. This included a straight razor shave, which he did dry and then went over with an electric shaver, giving me a worse shave than I could have gotten at home. As he was trimming my moustache he did not warn me how much hair would be flying, and I got a ton of hair in my eyes. At the end he did nothing to clean off my face, leaving me to wipe all the hair off with my hands. My moustache was left uneven with one side noticeably longer than the other, which was commented on at the rehearsal dinner I attended that night. My partner also pointed out that the "haircut" I got was also completely uneven, and frankly looks terrible. read more

Hmmmm... I got so used to the convenience of cutting my own hair at home that I was a bit hesitant about going to a salon. I'm pretty good at cutting my own hair, but this time my wife noticed (after going to the salon). She told me that I did a real good job with my haircut this time. It's probably been a good several years since she's complimented me on my hair. So yeah, thanks Erika! I'll be back for another one! read more

Tessa is my favorite! Best haircut I've had in a very long time. Super attentive to my cowlicks! Thanks Tessa!

If zero stars was an option I would leave zero. We had an absolute hack job and after calling twice to see if we could get it resolved we were told to wait 3 days til a manager might get back to us. We have been here previously but something changed. Never coming back again. read more

First thing you notice is their attention to covid guidelines and procedures! Waiting outside and temp checks upon entry. spraying down all surfaces and cleaning individual work stations. Very cool environment with nice music selection as well. Jack was awesome and did a great job helping transform my attempt at long hair into something more professional and fun! I will be returning! Thanks Jack! read more

Tarik cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. 5 stars! It's evident that Tarik takes pride in his craft and makes sure to give the best haircut possible. I'm definitely booking with Tarik again! read more

Mark cut my husband's hair and it looks fantastic! He updated it perfectly and it was definitely a high end cut. My husband said he took his time and was very personable and professional. Thanks, Mark! read more

nick is horrible DO NOT GO TO NICK!!!!! he's cut my my hair so f'in short when i said a trim read more

I'm really not one to leave bad reviews but honestly I left really disappointed. After growing out my hair for months I took a step out of my comfort zone been and saw Gents had some great ratings. Booked an "any stylist" appointment and went in with video/photo of what I wanted. When I get there I showed her the photos/videos asking her if she could do the cut. She said she could and I let her know if not we can just do what I regularly get at great clips. I was in the chair for an hour and a half. She wasn't able to do the cut I wanted.. fine but then she gave me a fade without even letting me know. She called it "taking it in" and the next thing I knew she gave me skin fade that was too high. I would be giving this 1 star if not for Ben. He took the time to chat with me after the haircut to help me figure out what I should do next. read more

Good consistent cuts from the barbers here I've tried. They can't be beat as far as style so I wouldn't want to look any further after all. Recently I have had extra good haircuts and that's important for me because I'm pretty particular about how my hair looks even a month after my cut. read more

I suffer from butchered hair cut syndrome. Luckily I realized great clips is better off cutting dogs and went to Gents ! I called in and told the young Philly at the counter to give me the most expensive gal in there. My stylist had blue hair, so obviously I said send it. My cut was looking so fresh and so clean the MILFs sitting outside at Potbelly asked me for my number. I'll be back ! read more

Finally I found KATE the real deal! She cuts my hair and fixed it. Worth it! With this pandemic, they are doing great.

Got a haircut from Gents today the Monday before Christmas. I was running pretty late because if the snow storm. I arrived 9 minutes late (just under the 10 minute cancellation window) and was greeted warmly as if I wasn't late and offered a beverage. This was my third time having Erica cut my hair and she was amazing (again). even though I was late, she didn't rush my haircut and took her time and gave me the best cut yet. She could have given me a rush cut to get her back on schedule but she really takes pride in her work and I will look and feel great over the holidays because of her professionalism and talent. I highly recommend Erica from Gents for your next cut! She's the best! read more

Fantastic staff and an even better haircut! Tessa was my stylist. Very personable, friendly and could keep a conversation going without it feeling forced. We'll be back for haircuts and a beard trim when they start that back up! read more

If you want a haircut from someone who really knows what they are doing, then see Ben at Gent. My first time there. He made some great suggestions, which I was to chicken to follow through on, but ended up with a really nice cut that I was very happy with. My strongest recommendation.. read more

Thanks for another amazing haircut! Like a hidden gem, I almost don't want to say how incredible a job Jack does with his haircuts. He does a tremendous job of communicating so you get exactly the haircut you want, helping point you to great hair products, and suggesting tweaks to your current hairstyle. Seriously, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Jack! read more

Really great place for a cut. Staff were friendly and courteous. Ambience is nice and luxurious and their online reservation system worked seamlessly. Moving to the twin cities from out of town and finally finding my go to hair place was a huge win. Parking can be a bit tough during busy hours so consider that when making your appointment. read more

Gent's is easily the best Barber I've been to, and I'm a regular customer of Jack's. As someone who never knows exactly what to get, Jack has always given me great suggestions and consistently good cuts. Gent's isn't too pricey either considering the great atmosphere and prompt service. I also enjoy the online scheduling system they use, and it saves me a lot of time. The only downside of this location is the parking, which can be very busy at times, requiring you to park high up on the ramp and walk down a few flights of stairs - but that's not a big deal and certainly not Gent's fault. read more

Gents in Edina is top notch. In my opinion, there isn't a better place to go. Specifically, Ande is fantastic and is very good at what he does. He was thorough, highly skilled and takes his time to give you a great cut. As an added bonus he even has a little showmanship. When cutting your hair he spins the scissors just a little and it adds flair. read more

I've had a killer experience at both the St Paul (Andy and Patrick are both super good barbers) and Edina locations. Heidi at Edina is now my main squeeze (stylist) and she's a rockstar. I had a great time shooting the s*** with her and she gave me a perfect cut. Good to know that I'll be hanging out in her chair every 4-5 weeks! Go with confidence, leave with more. read more

I'm about to move from the area and really wish Jack would relocate. Do you know how sometimes you get one of those haircuts that just makes you feel better about yourself? Jack kind of delivers that every time. I most simply feel more attractive, more myself, and more ready to take on the world after seeing him. Over and over again. I hear how he talks about his work, and how he talks about his customers, and the experience I have in his chair, and it's so clear that he's simply an expert at what he does.His work is technically so strong, but really, it is ability to both listen and interpret, and consider what's going to make you look and feel your best. He's simply one of the best in the game. I kind of wish my hair grew faster. read more

Best place for fades ask for Chris he's legit! I will be returning! Super chill awesome people. And very reasonably priced read more

I, originally, made the switch to Gent because I had moved and this was a much closer and convenient location. I walked in and was paired with Allison and it was one of the better moves I made in 2016! We hit it off right off the bat. Her sarcasm, wit and overall style matched very well with my personality and she has incredible skills to boot. Allison takes real pride in all of her cuts and the intricate details even a control freak like me can appreciate! I've brought in family members and although they live far away, still try to make the trip down to see her. This past October, I got married and before I took the plunge, I brought myself and my best man in to get proper cuts. His wife was thrilled he was finally getting a real haircut and Allison did NOT disappoint. She set us up with fresh looking fades, cleaned up our eye brows, waxed our nose hair and finished it all off with a hot towel. (hot towel comes with every cut but still, it's great!) I cannot go 4 weeks without seeing her. My wife won't allow it either. Our rapport along with her incredible skill has created a great friendship that I appreciate and enjoy building on with each and every haircut. Get your haircut scheduled with Allison soon before all spots fill up! read more

Ask for James! He is not only friendly and personable, but extremely detailed and proud of his body of work. His haircuts come out flawlessly and every time I get a fade, everyone asks where I get my hair cut. When you look good, you feel good and James is the best at making his clients feel that way. read more

They only take walk-ins if you're an existing client. Seems arbitrary and ridiculous. If you have stylists available, they should be able to make money and new business. I will be taking business elsewhere. read more

James is a amazing master stylists. He created the bomb hard part on My husband's hair. Truly he is a great stylist and meticulous. We will definitely go back to him when we are in Minnesota!! The shop is very nice and clean. Lots of great natural products to choose from. People were all super friendly!! read more

I put my tonsorial mess in the capable hands of James three weeks ago and strolled out of the shop as though I had been given special powers to charm all those who would fix their gaze at me. I attended a professional development workshop that afternoon , and the ladies there found me so interesting! I am happily married, but It was almost scary to me to have normal work related discussions that quickly felt like flirting. Thanks James for your magic-inducing haircut! read more

Ok well FINALLY there is a place us males can go to get "pampered" every once in awhile, it's much more expensive then say a Sports Clips though and that is to be expected due to the service. I had Heidi who was fantastic and held a nice conversation (which I loved) but I could tell if I wanted it to be quite she would have obliged which is always nice sometimes. There is free pop and water which is a nice touch while you wait for your appointment. It is also right next to Potbelly and a Five Guys so you can grab dinner right afterwards. As far as the haircut, it was great, I got a hard part with it faded on the sides and Heidi rocked it without a sweat. read more

This place recently opened and it's fantastic! Ask for Benny - He gave me the best haircut I've ever had. He is a master of his craft and takes his time. Conversation is natural and not at all forced. He's not afraid of silence either if you just like to relax. Very perceptive. I expected to pay an arm and a leg for the haircut (and would have happily done so); but the cut was surprisingly inexpensive. I found my new barber. read more

In Bloomington for business and really needed this mop cut before seeing my customers. The staff is very upbeat, personable, and professional. Carter cut my hair and it was WAY better than my $16.00 barber at home...in every facet! Better conversation, better results, better everything. It really is true: you get what you pay for. read more

Awesome place to get your hair did! Allison did an incredible job on my hair. This was my first time to Gent and I was very impressed. The whole staff was energetic and welcoming, they really made me feel at home which is important because I get really nervous before haircuts. Not only was Allison extremely thorough and detailed, she also made sure I was satisfied with each adjustment she made. I am so happy that I decided to stop in. You can really tell how much passion these stylists have for their craft, I will definitely be coming back. read more

I had a great experience at Gent Edina. I recently moved back to MN and needed to find a new barber. James really hooked it up! I brought a pic of the fade just how I want it and he realized it perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

Been getting my haircut here by James for almost a year and I can't say enough about him. Very friendly and professional and always makes my hair look perfect. read more
