Jose’s Barber Extraordinaire

Provider of hairapy. Cheaper than therapy. Always fails to draw blood but leaches on request. Has good taste in jazz music for your enjoyment while you are scalped. Actually very nice guys doing a fine job

Came here once a few months back to try a new place. Very friendly staff and chill environment. And with me balding they help a brother look nice still. Can’t recommend highly enough! Just made my 2^nd appointment today. Thanks guys.

While the atmosphere is cool, it’s the barbers that make the place. One of my sons has ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and extremely poor eye sight (nearly legally blind). He has a hard time getting his hair cut because his glasses are off and he hates the feeling of the hair bits on his face. The barbers here are very kind, patient, and understanding with him. They take the time to dust him off numerous times with barber powder and give him a neck tissue to hold over his face when they scissor cut. On top of all of this, they give everyone a fantastic haircut. I can’t say enough nice things about this business.

This place is hard to beat. Old school feel to a shop. Music posters on the wall and run by family and friends who have been in the neighborhood for years.

YO. Come see the crew here, they will cut off your Man Bun and set you up for success and turn you into a real boy. Bring your A Game because Tim and Pedro have jokes and will clown on things that need to be clowned on.
A+ would try again.

Service was excellent. Cut is quality. They worked me into the schedule same day. Price can’t be beat. Genuine barber shop. Hot towel was great. I couldn’t ask for better. I’ll be back from now on. Check em out!

Love the shop and the atmosphere definitely feels like an old fashioned barber shop. Went in for a hair cut and shave. It was funny that my high and tight which took 10 minutes to cut was more expensive than the 30 minute shave.

Went into Jose’s yesterday for my second haircut with them, and so far my experience with these guys has been great. Friendly atmosphere, good music, and a really well done cut both times, with two different barbers. You can chat it up if you feel like it, or you can just relax and zone out, no pressure either way. And do yourself a favor and opt for the hot towel at the end, it’ll make the rest of your day.

I can’t speak about all the barbers there bc I’ve only tried a few of em there and trust me they all know how to cut like pros but they all have their own different style. My guy is Pedro, he cuts a meannnn fauhawk and of course does dope fades, that is if ur into those kind of cuts (urban type haircuts). Another dude Tim (or ted?) Can cut also but he has more of a Johnnie cash type of style, maybe he’s better at using the shears bc his version of a fauxhawk didn’t work for me. Pedro though can use the clippers. They are really good with pretty much any cut you just gotta find the right guy for u. Regardless they’re all all really good and careful w their craft from what ive seen which is an a+++. The place is clean and pretty comfortable and the dudes there are totally cool and friendly. They always talk up current events which is funny to listen to. You don’t have to participate, its OK to keep it shut. And the hot towels are relaxing, I went there once after a long day at work and almost fell asleep after just a minute under the towel.

I went to get a shave and a haircut. Nice place, my barber was pretty cool. I told him that if you cut the sides too short they stick out. He didn’t cut the sides really short but they did stick out a little BUT, he did the rest of the cut so it worked together and actually made my hair look fuller. very important to a balding guy. so very happy with that and will definitely go back.
Now the possible down side. The shave wasn’t so hot. Some scrapes and major redness and burning around my throat that went away by the next day. Now this may be just me because I have sensitive skin. I’ve had other straight razor shaves that did the same thing. I can get a closer shave at home using a safety razor but it took a lot of practice, experimenting with lots of different blades and shaving creams. I also go over my face 4 times in different directions. My neck doesn’t burn or bleed but it isn’t as close as the rest of my face. I guess my tender skin will not take a straight razor shave.
BUT let me state again, I love my hair cut.

Fantastic! Best fades in town. High and tight. Great atmosphere and great personalities. Hot towel treatment is very relaxing. I’ve had my hair cut by Chris, Tim and Mike and have never been disappointed. They always seem to make room and I never feel rushed. Highly recommended.

I’ve seen Chris for a few cuts now and feel I finally got what (oddly) turned out to be a difficult request from other places: a modern Ivy League with a tight fade and razor part. Showed the man a picture once, and he remembers – every cut, for the most part, has been consistent. I recommend padding in some extra time to your schedule when making an appointment with Chris/Jose’s so you can actually relax, chat with interesting folks, have a beer, and get away from whatever crap bag day you’ve had. Once you’re done, head over to GTOs for a couple tacos and another beer.

Brad does not work at Jose’s any longer — he is at Lovely Aveda Salon in Bayview, WI. MUCH better ambiance (yes, it matters!) and service of the entire place is fantastic. Still getting my haircut and colored, and highlighted… awesome every time.

Been searching the past couple years to find a barbershop where not only the environment is awesome, but where the barber cuts your hair exactly the way you are looking to get it done. Pedro was an awesome barber that took his time to make sure every part of my hair was perfect. Definitely my new permanent barber shop. Make sure that you call at least a few hours ahead to secure a spot so you do not have to wait for an open chair.

The atmosphere was comfortable. Staff was friendly. I came in as a walk-​in and was penciled in for an appointment 45 mins later. My barber took his time and was responsive to my feedback. I go for the high and tight with a fade. The «tight» part was excellent, but the fade was just okay. Looked good in some parts and not so good in other parts (i.e., more of a line than a fade). This is only one barber at this location and other customers looked good after they were finished up. I will probably test out some other barber shops before settling in on a home.

I recently traveled from the east side, down to bay view to try this barber shop. With all the positive reviews, I thought it was worth the trip to try it. After getting a cut from Mark Ford, I won’t be going anywhere else.
Mark recently moved from Austin, and I am happy he brought his skills to the Midwest.
The cut was worth the drive alone, but the hot towel made it amazing.
Location is easy to find and parking is never a problem
I hate getting a cut and it looks like you just got a hair cut. This wasn’t the case. fresh cut but left looking normal.
Call ahead and make sure To ask to be put in Marks schedule, I promise you’ll leave happy.

This is still the best place to get a haircut in Milwaukee! The prices have gone up and they still don’t take credit cards, but I keep going back. If you want Nick or Chris, make an appointment. Most weekdays you could walk in and get a haircut quick, but prepared to wait on the weekend. This place is popular.

Almost exactly what you get when you think of a tradition a barber shop. I was a walk in and they took me right in regardless.
A little more than what I am used to paying for a trim but the experience was well worth it. Looking forward to trying the the shave next time.

Went here for the 2^nd time ever to get a shave a couple days before my wedding. My wife got me a gift certificate for a shave the first time I went here and I was very pleased with the experience I knew I would go back for a shave for my wedding. I called the day before to make an appointment, but I know they get plenty of walk-​ins. The place isn’t anything fancy, but more like your favorite bar where everyone seems like a regular and the setting is comfortable.
The shave turned out perfect as it had the previous time and I had no worries about the barber slashing my throat since I’ve made amends with the «don». The music in here always seems good and the barber knows what he’s doing, but will ask if you want anything left alone (burns, goatee, mustache, etc.). I think they charge either $ 13 or $ 15 which is a good rate and much cheaper than other places. A good shave takes time so don’t be impatient and just relax.

I’ll bump this one up a notch. Everything that was great last time, was great this time. I was able to better express myself to Antonio (Tony if you prefer). He was sure to let me know that he understands there are three people we need to please with this cut — myself, my wife (happy wife, happy life — right?) and himself, because if I wasn’t satisfied, he wouldn’t be pleased.
He had a few deep thoughts that got my brain going tonight, overall a good time. It almost felt like a philosophical discussion was about to break out a few times even. Antonio took his time, checking in a few times to make sure I was happy with the way things were coming along. After the last time, I had said I wanted to be sure not to go too short. So he was sure to keep that in mind. When it wasn’t quite the right length, I asked him to go shorter — and it ended up just right!
Now my wife has yet to see the haircut — so I may be speaking too soon, but I was pleased. I had a good time doing it too!
Verdict: I’ll be back — just for the fun atmosphere and cool barber chairs! :)
