Endicott Barber And Salon

I need a haircut. I don’t need a pompadour or a bouffant or a beehive — I need a haircut. As in: «#1 all over, that’s it». I love my current salon, but it got to the point where I was paying way too much for… a buzz cut. (Sidebar: Seattle barbers charge a reduced rate for «just buzzes», a practice that really needs to come nationwide.)
Anyway, I reluctantly set out to find a new shop, and came across the reviews and listings for Endicott — and — I’m glad I did. Walked in without an appointment on a Saturday, and was able to get in the chair within about 15 minutes (only one guy ahead of me). The place gets stuff done — efficiently, without pretense, without fanfare — and it does it well. My buzz was done in short order, with the musical strains of some really good classical in the background.
I have a new place to do my hair.

Joe is the best barber I’ve ever had and certainly worth making an appointment for in Kansas City. He is a humble guy who knows his stuff and even works on Mondays when no one else does. He’ll do your hair right, too, and give you darn good fade as well.

I’ve been a regular of Joe’s for about 6 months now, and he has yet to disappoint. Very friendly, gets my hair and beard cut and trimmed just the way I want it, and he does a mean fade. Highly recommended.

Fantastic barber shop in a quaint part of Westport. Methodical and precise in the way they cut your hair. Staff has just the right touch of cordial conversation and politeness, never awkward. Ever since I checked this place out back in August, it’s been my go-​to barber shop.
In the time I’ve been there, I’ve had the pleasure of being taken care of by; Joe– An older guy who has a wealthy amount of experience, he’s a guy’s guy. He understands what you want and perfectly executes what you ask of him.
Ive also been taken care of by Madalyn– she’s awesome as well, she’s up to date on what guys are looking for and I’ve never once been disappointed or uncomfortable when she’s taken care of me. Definitely laid back type of gal.
But you see, that’s what makes Endicott great. Everyone is laid back and chill. They’re all there to give you a great cut. Believe me, they want you back in there shop because they care.
As far as any critiques I would have to say it would be the price. It’s 25 bucks, but it could be worse I suppose (definitely won’t keep me from coming back). Oh, and because they’re awesome, walk-​ins usually have to wait like 15 – 25 minutes. But then again it could be waaay worse!
Thanks Endicott

Solid barbershop. They care about repeat business and have a meticulous approach towards cutting hair. They aren’t obnoxious and don’t try and talk your ear off — they are simply there to cut hair, and do it well.
I walked-​in rather than made an appointment (I don’t believe barber shops should take appointments) on a Saturday before a holiday so the gal that cut my hair seemed to be in a slight rush. As such, one side was slightly longer than the other, even though she spent a considerable amount of time on it. I think it was an off day due to the volume, which is why Endicott still gets four stars.
I’ll be back.

Just by chance came here after looking all over town on a Saturday and found the best barber I’ve ever been to. His name is Joe and he listens very closely to your needs. He managed to undo a great deal of damage done by previous haircutters. I was just floored by his professionalism, you won’t go wrong on this man!

I recently relocated to the Kansas City area, sadly leaving behind my neighborhood barbershop in California. Fortunately, I found Endicott in Westport and now have a new favorite.
Madalyn gave me a great haircut, while serving up friendly conversation. Such a unique space, and the antithesis of the corporate chain salon. And they know how to cut hair. Perfect fit for me.

I’ve been coming to Endicott for about three months now and what else can you ask for? I’ve always been a loyalty customer when I get my hair cut and before I went to Endicott I could not find what I was looking for. I’ve had my hair cut by Joe each time and the man is a master of his craft. He is very persistent and meticulous. That being said, if you’re looking for a SuperCuts quick 10 minute kind of haircut, Endicott might not be your best option. After going over your ear and neckline with electric clippers, his «special touch» is to go over it a second time with warm shaving cream and a straight edge. Now you start to get that nostalgic barbershop feel. On top of that, Joe might possibly be the friendliest guy you’ll meet. I got so lost in conversation the first time I stepped out of there and didn’t realize I spent almost 45 minutes in there. I was not upset about it though. Would highly recommend this to anyone in the area. Couldn’t give them more praise. So glad I can finally have my own place in Kansas City.
Tips:
–I believe it still says they’re closed on Mondays, but typically Joe will be there.
–They only take cash.
–His business card also includes his personal cell phone and he encourages you to call him there if he’s not in and he will come in for you if he can.
–I can’t say much to the other two, (Madalyn and James?), but they always seem to have steady clientele when I’m there.

Relaxed setting and friendly people. I’ve been looking for a good place around town and I don’t trust my head to just anyone. Great service and very affordable.

Madalyn is Fantastical! Very witty and crisp in conversation — and a true hair artist. Very pleased with my cut.
The shop has a great atmosphere — it’s clean, well organized, and well situated on Westport Road — and yes, plenty of parking. Afordable!

If you need a good, classic haircut, Endicott is where it’s at. I’m new to the KC Metro and if there’s one thing I take seriously, it’s who cuts my hair. After reading the other positive reviews, I decided to try out Endicott. It’s got the old-​school barber appeal which drew me in and the quality of haircut/​styling Marilyn gave me will definitely have me coming back.
The prices for a men’s haircut are reasonable, at $ 20 a cut. I highly recommend Endicott to anyone needing a good, clean cut.

I have been in here a few times. The environment is relaxed and very clean. The staff is helpful and not overly chatty. I have seen Joe and the lady M… something. Both give out great cuts, Joe is more of the barber style haircut which is top notch, with a razor shave to clean up the edges.
Lady M. handed me a great haircut with a style that I dig. Either one will cut your hair correctly without trying to force some styling products down your throat.
I will be back…

Joe is the ideal barber — old school, classic barber who takes pride in making sure every haircut is exactly right. He even lines you up with hot lather and a straight razor. On top of that, he’s in the shop on Mondays!

Joe has been my go-​to barber for the last year in Kansas City and has consistently hit the mark each time. He’s a genuine guy who truly cares about his clients and likes to make each haircut a pleasant experience. I recommend him, especially if you’re wanting a professional looking cut. I approve and so does my girlfriend!

My favorite barber, Joe, recently moved here — he is fantastic. The shop has a great vibe, friendly owners — great place for a cut!

I’m so excited to have Endicott right here in Westport. it’s a great addition to the neighborhood «vibe.» James did a wonderful job working me into the schedule when I had an emergency arise. A very thorough, relaxing, and efficient job with my haircut… even with a hot-​lather neck trim. RuPaul will not come bouncing out from the back room, and there’s no throbbing house/​trance/​club music blasting from a giant sound system. Highly recommended to anyone who needs a no-​frills, no-​drama haircut, shave, or style. I’ll definitely be back!

If I had to sum it up, I would say this place is very practical, and I love that about it. Practical environment, practical price, practical hair info.
It’s small and quaint, but clean and simple. The service was very good. All the staff had good manners, unlike other Westport shops. It wasn’t fancy, frilly, or stuffy. It was clean, simple, and cute.
I did not have a drastic cut, just your basic trim, but I was happy with it. Madalyn did a good job, and she imparted lots of practical information about hair care… as opposed to just telling me to buy this $ 30 product or buy the hair smoothing treatment or whatever. She is value driven, and I really appreciate that. She also knows how to chatter the right amount while cutting, not too much, but not too little. I paid $ 25 for a wash and cut which is a deal to me! I’ll be back!

I am new to the city and needed a haircut. After looking around, the reviews for this place seemed favorable. I am very glad I came. Joe was highly qualified, professional and gives a great haircut. I will most certainly be back.

I just went to this barber shop for the first time and was very impressed. My old barber Joe recently joined the shop, so I had to stop in while back in KC visiting. I started going to him years ago and even got my dad to switch barbers a while back. Joe gives great haircuts and I can’t recommend him enough. The shop itself is very nice and I was impressed by the other barbers/​stylists there. Will definitely return whenever I am in KC!

As somebody who seems physically incapable of making an appoint to get my hair cut, this place saved my butt. It had been so long since I had my hair cut that I looked like a Yeti, and they got me in lickity-​split.
This smallish barber shop/​salon is no frills or pretense, but they get the job done and they get it done well. I received a great haircut, on trend but also professional, pretty much exactly what I’ve wanted. The gentleman that cut my hair was incredibly communicative, talking me through options in a way that I hadn’t before experienced, at least not in a LONG time. And at $ 20, it’s a fair price. They do take cards, using Square, which I think is good. I’m so sick of cash-​only operations.
Just a note, this place seems to cater to a gay clientele, both ladies and dudes. I mean, it’s not like you HAVE to be gay to get your hair cut here, but I think it’s just a side-​effect of the neighborhood and the connections of the stylists. I think it’d be equally convenient for businessfolks of all orientations who need a quality last minute cut.
