Much Love Barber Shop

Finding the right barber for kids isn't easy, especially when you have two boys with completely…read moreopposite styles! One of my sons likes a clean, simple cut with pointy sideburns, while the other wants bold designs and perfectly squared sideburns. Curtis nails both every single time. We've been taking our boys to Curtis for years, and even though he's moved farther away, he's absolutely worth the drive. He's fantastic with kids, knows how to make them feel comfortable, and genuinely takes the time to connect with them. He's friendly, kind, and intentional with every haircut. What I appreciate most is that even though my boys know exactly what they want, Curtis never forgets Mom's input. He listens, pays attention to the details, and consistently delivers exactly what we're looking for. If you're looking for a barber who truly cares about his craft, takes pride in his work, and provides exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Curtis. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our boys' hair!

Ever since I started going to Much Love Barber Shop I have not regretted it one bit. Every time I call, especially at the last minute, Lawrence always tell me to come on through "I got you" no matter what day of the week it is. Lawrence and his other barbers are very skilled in their craft, extremely efficient, and very professional. One of the main reasons I keep going back to Much Love Barber Shop is the quality of my fade. The fade is impeccable! The consistency as well as the overall appearance / decor of the barber shop is inviting. I do, and will continue to recommend Much Love Barber Shop to any and all that's looking for a quality barber, and barber shop. read more

This is a really good barbershop. I've been coming here for almost 2 years and everytime I leave, I leave satisfied with both the haircut I received and the experience I had. This place gives great cuts for a great price. There's a great staff and its always fun coming in and having good conversations with all of them. The owner, Big L, is a really good man. For example, one time, I didn't have enough money for a haircut and he hooked me up for free. You don't find too many people like that around. He's a great guy with a great character. If you're looking for a quality haircut, I definitely recommend going to Much Love. read more

I'm so thankful for the wonderful experience we had with Larry and his barbershop. Larry personally called to help set up the appointment, which I really appreciated. He took great care of my son during the process of removing his dreads and giving him a fresh haircut. He was patient, professional, and made the whole experience comfortable and easy. My son left looking great and feeling confident. Thank you, Larry, for your kindness, professionalism, and excellent service! read more

Let me start off by saying we love Lawrence and everyone whom works there. The cuts are fresh and most importantly they listen to what the customer wants. I honestly only come when my kids Father is too busy to bring them & let me say the handful of times I have it's always a great experience. It's a clean, respectful environment, but MOST of all the energy, we feel the love every time. With the exception of him being a Saints Fan. #VikingsFam read more

Great first experience. Good haircut and good service from G. Took my friend today on my second visit and as we walked in the employee said, "Can't you read the sign? Go outside and look again." He wanted us to see that their hours indicated they were closed. His attitude and poor character was unnecessary. He could have easily said they were closed. Felt unwelcome and certainly no love! I will never return here. read more

If the policy is walk-ins only, then everyone should be treated fairly and served in the order they arrive. It's frustrating to wait your turn only to have someone cut in front of you.
