Fine Line Barbershop

First off, if I could magically transport Fine Line to San Francisco, where I live, I’d do it in a New York minute!
I’d been before on previous occasions when I was home to see the folks in Miami for an extended period, and HANDS DOWN this shop and its crew of mega-​talent carefully selected by John D (@mr_fineline himself) are the BEST I’ve had anywhere, in line with my prior of review of Gabby’s in Chicago (my OTHER barbering home away from home, when I’m in THAT town).
Anyhow, to the experience last Friday, 6÷10÷16:
I booked a few days earlier with John D himself, the owner — a totally chill gentleman who *obviously* (and rightly) takes humble pride in his award-​winning barbering… his ART. Booking was easy from his Instagram page, where it was AWESOME to see the extensive photo album/​catalogue he keeps of his prior clients’ cuts. When I arrived, I didn’t have to wait long. I asked him to chop my 6 weeks of hair back to a classic cut with a fine fade and hard part, and he proceeded. A totally good guy, we chatted a bit while he cut, but he was all business when it came to my hair. In the end, she shaped my hair back into shape as I hadn’t seen in over a year here in SF. And at less than half of what I pay in SF, John’s work is the steal of the century if you care about your styling. The man has classic, masculine hair beauty in his blood, to perfection.
I could also say much the same about his barber Rome, who’s cut my hair before the last time I was on an extended stay in Miami. And from what I would tell from the results unfolding before my eyes from the other barbers, you can’t go wrong with ANY of them. LOVE LOVE LOVE Fine Line… WILL be back for another cut next time I’m home seeing the folks! I’d give this place TEN stars if I could! Thanks, John, for sending me back to San Francisco in style!

At first I thought this place was great but the last time I went the barber was being rude. Haircut was good but the fact that this guy was practically making fun of me just says a lot about the people that work here.

I was looking for a closer barbershop and found fineline with good reviews. Decided to give it a try and I’ve gone a few more times after that. Been able to have the pleasure of John cutting my hair. He’s great, willing to teach you how to style my hair hair and what products to use. Definitely will continue to be coming back.

Found John (@mr_fineline) on Instagram. Made an appointment online. Couldn’t have had a better experience.
The place looks really nice and professional. And John did a great job on my cut. Also he was very helpful in helping to understand what he was doing and very engaging in finding out exactly what I wanted. Then he executed it perfectly.
At $ 15 not including tip, this place is a steal. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great service and a great haircut.

Best barbers in Miami. Have been coming here since 2000 with Freddy as my barber. Quality work by everyone here, with great attention to detail.

First time there today. My son walked in and was immediately seated. Haircut was exactly what he was looking for. They will see us again in two weeks

I scheduled an appointment with Johnny for my husband after coming across their page on Instagram.
He did an amazing job sculpting his beard and shaving his head. He’s been back several times and always has great results.
I love that they have late hours during the week and appointments are easy to schedule a few days in advance. The shop is very clean and all of the barbers seem really professional.
I did notice some guys waiting for quite a while because they didn’t have appointments. They’re easy to schedule online through their IG page.
Plenty of parking available in the shopping center lot. They’re located right next to the iHop.

Honestly, probably the best overall high volume barbershop in Miami. I say that so the smaller specialty boutique barber/​stylists don’t get offended. There are many quality barbers at Fine Line; I’ve never made an appointment and I always wait for whoever is available next. I’ve been coming here for about a year, and I’ve been cut by everyone here at least once, some up to four times… that’s how good they all are, you can get cut by any one of them and leave happy; whereas some barbershops, you want to wait till a particularly talented barber is available to cut your hair. If you’re looking for a new barber in the area, look no further, you have plenty of great options here! Oh, and their trophy collection from all the team barber competitions they’ve won just confirms the above.

Fine Line Barbershop professionalism at its finest…
There trophies speak for themselves. Never a dull cut! M. dinero (moose) has been cutting my hair and my sons for quite some time. Always nothing but the best service that I have had in Miami period. Would highly recommend his Proffesional talents and his eye for perfection for any one.

Hands down the BEST Barber Shop in Miami!
Every barber shop has that one barber that doesn’t know how to cut hair correctly. NOT THIS ONE! Every barber here is amazing. From cutting hair to customer service. I cut my hair with Rome. I always make an appointment and i have never had to wait to sit down. He knows my hair cut so I don’t even have to tell him what Im going to get because he knows. That shows a lot in my opinion. Its become a friendship rather than just a client. I always have a great time while i am there. Great conversations, great service, and great price! Will never go anywhere else! #BestBarbersPeriod

Nowadays it’s very easy to find talented barbers through social media outlets such as Instagram and Facebook. I found John on Instagram @Mr_Fineline and I couldn’t be happier!
From the moment I scheduled my first appointment online I knew I would be a regular. He runs a tight ship and is very attentive to every single customer that walks through that door. He’s very meticulous and professional, and his level of skill is very evident in the results. His prices are fair and the shop is clean and organized.
I will definitely recommend this shop if you want to get cleaned up super nice! From my observation there isn’t a bad barber on the premises.

I used to live in Miami and I’d always get my cut from John but at a different location. I then moved, but whenever I visited, I’d go back to the place to get a cut from John. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there anymore and most of the other barbers there weren’t cutting it (pun).
I ended up finding Fine Line and giving it a try. I’ve received several cuts here over the past few years when I visit and have not been disappointed. This last trip, I saw John and it turned out that it was his shop. Congrats. He was always a cool guy when he cut my hair. And what matters most (since we’re Unilocaling), he’s hired some top notch barbers. I’ve received haircuts from Rome, Freddy, and AP; no complaints. Was very happy with each cut.
So I recommend this place to everyone, I’m happy with my cuts, and I’m glad a good guy (that can cut) has done so well for himself.

My husband has been getting his haircut /​beard trim with Freddy for many years. This week, I brought my 14 yo nephew by for a cut and he loved it. Consistently great service, which is the reason why we keep recommending everyone we know. The place is clean, and Freddy is awesome. Highly recommend.

Very clean and friendly staff. My son prefers Joan the best and has been seeing him for a number of years. The location is good for Kendall with plenty of parking. They have TVs to pass the time and a kids game too. As well. I highly recommend this shop for any guys looking for a great shop.

This place is a joke… Spoke to the barber as soon as i came in thru the door, he told me he would take me, after half hour or more of waisting my time there, the guy finished with the customer before me, gave me his back & told the hostess he was done for the day, the hostess even complaint saying saying ” thanks for letting me know, buddy didnt even look at my face, walked away infront of me & other customers texting on the goddanm phone, lol no comment wouldn’t recommend this place to noone, total waste of time this place, extreme non professionalism…

After trying many shops we finally came across fineline. John did a great job on my boyfriends hair and beard today! First time being there also! I highly recommend this place! We were a walk-​in and didn’t wait more than 10min. Thankyou!

Top of the line barber shop! Very detailed barbers, there’s a lot of expertise. I’m from out of town but will definitely be stopping by when I’m down here for business.

Been coming here for nearly a year now after needing a different look. Carrying a fade cut for the better part of a decade. After seeing the results from a friend of mine I decided to hit up his barber Malcolm at fineline and I never looked back.
A barber that not only takes his craft seriously but takes care of the customer as well. My previous barbers either do my tape wrong or leave patches. My new barber has done neither. With that said he is one of the most requested so make sure to book an appointment in advance. If looking for something early in the day call a day ahead.
The prices are premium compared to other shops like Blade or Cyber Cuts (2 shops nearby). But as the saying goes you get what you pay for. I will consider myself a regular customer here barring me moving away from Miami.

Check out @Joanmasterbarber… He took care of my cut, clean, listened to what I was going for and courteous. Actually, I saw a lot of good cutting so verily impressed with the cuts I saw in general. I will be going back and the price is really good!

Nice location easy access on kendal 88^st. Sw 127 ave next to ihop.
Establishment is clean, owner and barbers Freindly, and talented.
My 1^st time visiting this barber shop.
First I called and inquired about a design along with hair cut, which I was professionally and warmly welcomed to stop by.
Stopped by 1 hour after calling. Greeted by owner nicely remembering that I had called based on request and recommended that Johnny the barber do the design for my hair cut.
Glad this is not a neighborhood wanna be gang spot. Very clean establishment and professional barbers.
Im pleased with the service. Will be returning.
