Carl’s Barber Shop

A good olé fashioned cut and razor trim!
This is an old fashioned steel chair, white coat, straight razor barbershop on a larger scale. When you walk in, it takes you back to the times of visiting a barber at the turn of the century, and what that must be like.
There are about 20 chairs lining the perimeter of the shop, each one with a barber hard at work. They have a very efficient numbering system that flies through customers pretty quick. It can get very busy at times, so be prepared to wait.
Besides the great haircut, friendly conversation, and nostalgia, I come here for the straight razor trim and hot towel. This kind of treatment is getting harder and harder to find, yet really defines what a quality men’s cut should be all about. The precision of a neck and beard trim with a straight razor followed up with a hot towel pushes the experience to the top of the charts.
If you are asking for my favorites, try Ramone or Greg.

Ok, I NEVER write reviews, but Nicole SUCKS! You have to be a complete moron to basically buzz off someone’s hair after being asked nicely by a parent and teen, 3 times, to please only clean, DON’T chop all off! I mean, this is your ONLY job in life, figure it out!!!

I went to this place with my brother who is in the military and we both got simple haircuts — #2 all around. My brother got a super high fade instead! On top of everything it cost’s like twice the normal price of any other barbershop and they even charge you to get cash back for a tip. I would never go here again.

Only made the mistake of coming by this joke of a barber shop once. If you have a cop cut or the military style clip job, then this is a great place. Short and simple is about all they can handle here. From best anyone can tell, most of the staff here is fresh out of barber school or this is all they know how to cut, men’s short hair. If you have long hair and want a cut and style, stay away from here. A cut like that will cost you a minimum $ 40 and here is home of the 10 – 15 cheap clip and buzz.
Whatever you do, never let one of these guys clip your beard. Giving them access to your «mark of the Gods» is basically enabling them to double down on ineptitude, and even worse, it’s on your face, and hard as hell to conceal until it grows out. Only go here if you’re cheap, like cookie cutter haircuts or simply like an old school barber joint.

Leo is my go to guy here.
Four stars because this a 35 minute drive for me. Worth the drive though. There is another location in Weston. I’ve not been there.
There are several chairs available. If you aren’t picky good chances you’ll be seated promptly. Be sure to check in at the front desk before sitting down.
Regular men’s haircut is $ 18 w/​o tip. From what I’ve seen the standard is $ 5 but I seen as much as $ 20.
If driving from the east you’ll have to take I-​595 to 136^th St. and make a u-​turn. The shop sits directly behind dunkin’ donuts.
Parking can be limited but generally available.

Gone here three times now. First two times were spot on. Got Jose who is the older gentleman in the back corner. Went back today and got a younger kid who did a less than stellar job. Asked for a high and tight, did not get a high and tight. Even showed the kid a picture of the job Jose did last time, he still got it wrong. Also not level on both sides. Had to go home and clean it up myself because this young buck decided he was done. I guess it’s a good place for young kids who don’t have to worry about looking professional or if you don’t care about quality and consistency. Definitely won’t go back unless Jose is there. Previous poster was spot on in that there are too many places that charge less and will get it right, especially if you aren’t happy with the service you got.

I went in for the first time and had a great experience, one of the best hair cuts I have gotten in awhile, straight edge razor on my neck and side burns. The shop was upbeat, barber was friendly. I was very happy and figured even though it was 30 minutes from my house and my weekly routine took my nowhere near their location, I had found my new barbershop.
I went back again two weeks ago and got a cut by the same person. The shop was slow and there was no line but he cut my hair very quickly, instead of the straight razor he used an electric trimmer on my neck and side burns. I wasn’t overly happy but it was what it was. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized my hair was all different lengths and there were sections on the top of my head they he didn’t even touch. He didn’t even trim all the way down my neck. I am not a very hairy person but you could easily see where he stopped cutting right at my shirt line. After a week it looked embarrassing and I had to go somewhere else to get it fixed. I feel like I paid over $ 20 ($ 18 cut, $ 4 tip) for a hair cut that I could have gotten for free at a barber school. I have been all over Broward county trying to find a consistent hair cut and now my search continues. I am very disappointed.

My boyfriend comes here to get his haircut, he was long over due for one so I came with him this time.
He made an appointment with Leo, who was fantastic and super knowledgeable. He styled my boyfriends hair the way he’s usually gets it and it looks great. He took his time to make sure my boyfriend was a happy and the cut was perfect.
This place is clean and has a great vibe with the throwback items located around the whole shop.
All of the barbers I saw working paid attention to details and were very easy to talk to.
Not to mention they do a great job with beard line ups with my boyfriend loves since he hates to cut his own facial hair.
Overall this place is superb! Totally recommend it if you’re looking for a great haircut!

I’ve been coming here for years. It’s an old school barbershop just like the one I use to go to as a child. I always call and make an appointment for timely cut. My son and I go to Ray and we really like his cuts and personality. My son has autism and has been treated with extra attention and care by all the barbers! Occasionally you’ll get some Cuban coffee! Beat that!!!

Great place to get a haircut, shave or trim. Old school barbers who actually take the time to trim your eyebrows, nose and ear hair as well.
Great pricing. A pleasure versus the foo-​foo stylists @ twice the price.

far from being a old fashion barbershop. $ 18 for a reg haircut is outrageous 20% tip 21 – 22 $ Too many barbershops charge $ 10 & do a good job. very unfriendly woman at the front desk. my fault for staying
there. I now make it my policy that if they don’t greet you when you first enter, leave. They must be having a bad day, not only a barber any business. very rush attitude. find a barber who can speak & understand english.

Went in for a quick cut and shave came out with a great cut and shave. Always good work done here, I sat down with Jason. Good guy does great work and pretty fast. Recommend this place if your looking for a really great cut.

How hard is a a fade or a taper?! I figured a shop like this could knock that out easy. Not! My hair has no fade or taper. It’s all one length on the sides and back with no transition to the top. This guy couldnt speak english and had no idea what he was doing. Be careful who you get. Awful.

Called to see about getting faded up by my favorite barber, the woman on the phone was rude, couldn’t answer a simple question and had a real bad attitude, I found a new shop to get my fade on. Save your money people, the first impression is the most important impression, Carl’s Barber Shop’s receptionist made a very bad impression.

In from Chicago and needed a cut for New Years… They took care of me as soon as I walked in… Very old school barber shop… Gentlemen from New York, chair 16, was way cool… Will get my cut there when I’m in ft lauderdale.

Carl’s is a throwback barber shop. Walking in, you are somehow hit with a wave of «clean» smell… no other way to describe it. There are TVs that would make a sports bar envy.
Check in at the desk, grab a seat to watch TV or read a magazine. Notice people getting a shave. I haven’t done that yet… but I’m gonna try it just for the experience. I’ve never requested anyone specific… and I’ve always been happy. I love taking my 8 year old son too… it’s a masculine place & it’s cool for father & son to go here.
They really do a great job and I highly recommend it to any guy who needs a trim.

Had a great visit to Carl’s this morning. Made an appt. for 10am, the lady at the front hooked me up with Leo in chair 4.
Started with the haircut… did a great job. Was very meticulous, including taking the attention to touch up around my temples and side burns. Finished up with a nice shave around the neck, ears and side burns.
Then he started with the Classic Hot Towel Shave. I try to get a hot shave in any town I visit… and I’ve got to say, this is EASILY the best treatment I’ve gotten with a hot shave. Two hot towels to start, two passes on the shave, then some sort of spearmint ice mask and a face massage to finish.
I was in the chair and relaxed for pretty much an hour. Was great to lay back and enjoy the ambiance of the old school barbershop. Got to admit, it was pricier than I typically pay ($ 50 for the haircut and shave), but after I was finished, I thought I got the better end of the deal. I’m looking for an excuse to go back before my trip ends.

I still remember 11 years ago when my brother first took me to get my haircut at Carl’s Barber Shop. No matter how many other barber shops I try I always find myself coming back to this one. That says a lot too, since I live in Miami and have no issue making the drive there to get my haircut done right. Carl’s is definitely the place to get you looking sharp.
Like any barber shop, it might take you one or two tries to find the person who best suits you. My guy is Carlos and when I walk in he knows exactly what I want without even saying a word. You just can’t beat the service they provide for a reasonably affordable price.
If you’re into looking your best and staying fresh, Carl’s is the spot for you.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a barber shop. It’s decidedly old-​school. The whole look and feel takes you back to a bygone era — it’s like walking into a time capsule. Every barber is different so try around and settle on the one that suits you best. I’ve been getting my hair cut with Mina. She has the hands of a Korean goddess — hot towel after every cut, neck massage with moisturizer, and a pat down with some aftershave. Her acumen as a barber is impressive.
If you’re into hair care and facial care products like I am, Carl’s will meet and exceed your needs and desires. You’ll see good ol’ products you will not see anywhere else. I’ve bought Stefan’s Bay Rum Aftershave, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Aftershave, Pinaud Super Hold Styling Gel, Pinaud Styling Gel, and today after my cut I bought Jeris Hair Tonic.
To give you an idea of the price for haircuts, I get a skin high and tight with a scissor cut on top for $ 18.00. Keep your eye out for coupons — they come out every now and then in the paper and in coupon circulars.

What a cute place! I came here with my boyfriend one afternoon and I loved looking around at all of the old school décor. My boy was only getting a trim, nothing serious, but the other men that were there at the same time as us all looked great when they walked out the door! I would so come here if I was a guy.
