Wyoming Barber Shop

2 Annas, a Marco, and a barber shop. This place is cliched «old school» in the best way. Straight razors, tube TV, and cash only. All 3 of the barbers take their time to ensure you get the best cut. Only place I’ll go to get my ears lowered.
5 stars.

My stylist rushed the experience. She did a well job at cutting, but I was rushed. Also, she was not friendly. Her pessimistic attitude was not welcomed well. Finally, she had breathe that was not smelling so great. They only cut my hair, no immediate wash, which was unexpected. I would recommend elsewhere that will build a personal relationship.

Why would any guy go to MasterCuts or Great Clips?
I lived in St Louis for 4 years and it took me 3.5 to find this place. I have been getting my hair cut here every since.
First this is a DUDE’S barbershop. The décor is clearly a place for dudes to hang out and get their hair cut. There are no fancy shampoos or magazines for crazy hair cuts here.
All 3 barbers are excellent. I have never had a bad haircut and they clearly have attention to detail as I have never left with a lopsided haircut.
I’m Asian and finding people who can cut Asian hair well has been very nice.
Prices are $ 14 for hair cut. cash only.
They take appointments on weekdays and NO walk ins.
Saturday is walk ins only.

I’ve had 2 haircuts here. The first was alright but the second was OMG awful. The place has rules. All my life I’ve been going to barbers and hair salons… first time I’ve ever seen a barber shop with RULES posted like customers are dumb or something. Really silly.
My first barber was Anna and she did a decent job. She wrote the number of the blade or clippers on a card… so I’d know for next time. Just odd to me but still, whatever.
The second cut was nuts. Anna was out and the guy who cut it was likely the owner. He’s not a super friendly guy. He’s extremely aggressive as he cuts your hair… did my boyfriend’s cut too and just wasn’t great. Missed parts of his hair and overall not a great cut. He trimmed my hair too short in the back so I’ve had to keep it trimmed up now, really annoying!
The price is decent but I can’t deal with another bad cut so I’m off to find another barber in the STL area.

I loved Marco. He was very professional and so meticulous. He gave me the best haircut I have ever had. Also, he educated me on how to get the same cut anywhere I go. Not that I will be going to any other barber while I am living in St. Louis. Wyoming Barbershop has my business from now on. Side note, I am a woman and Marco didn’t bat an eyelash at that. It was quite refreshing, as I have been refused service at another barbershop in St. Louis for being female.

$ 13 for a cut and $ 13 for a shave?! I couldn’t believe the price when I heard it and was very much looking forward to my experience.
With regards to the cut, I was very pleased. Marco was friendly, knowledgeable and gave me exactly what I asked for. I appreciate the straight razor finishing in the back, although he did cut me a bit. No pain, just a little blood, which he was quick to clean up. So far, I’m very pleased with my $ 13 investment.
Now comes the shave, my favorite part. Chair goes back, feet go up, lather, hot towel on the face, re-​lather, and razor to face. But something’s off. It wasn’t a straight razor. Wasn’t a safety razor. Appeared to be a standard disposable razor. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Now, I do realize it was $ 13. And in their defense, at no point was I told it would be a straight razor shave. Had I not had my own expectations, I would have been happy. The shave was fine, without cuts, razor burn, etc. But unfortunately, I did have higher expectations.
The haircut was great and I plan on returning. I will not however be receiving a shave.

Been going to this place for years even after moving out of the neighborhood over two years ago. I could literally walk around the corner of my street and get my do’ done there but won’t even try a new place because I love this spot. This is an old fashioned barbershop with no nonsense bells or frills. I’m not interested in an «experience», just looking to get the hairs well cut, pay ‘em, tip ‘em and go. They deliver and they’re great.

This place is great. Anna «the blonde» is my barber. Show up early. Tell her how to cut your hair and you end up looking like a million bucks! And the warm shaving cream and after shave are a must.

I hate to leave a bad Unilocal review, but I have to do it. My boyfriend and I have gone in there maybe 6 times and today we decided we need to find somewhere else. We never have really had a «positive» experience there. We usually put up with it because they generally do an okay job — maybe a 6 out of 10 — for pretty cheap, but today the lady cut my boyfriend and didn’t tell him or apologize. Not cool.

I came in looking like «Duck Dynasty» and walked out looking like…“Dynasty”!
Great haircut, beard trim and shave — and they don’t charge enough! Do make an appointment. Do congratulate Marco on the arrival of his son — Mom and son both due home tomorrow, everyone’s fine — and finally, if you’re new like me, don’t be afraid to take «any available barber». This is a Highly proficient and professional Barbershop!

This place is great. 13 bucks in and out. Did a perfect job and wasn’t falsely polite like so man salon hairdresser. You can’t go wrong with this place. I look forward to getting my hair cut here for years

Marco does an outstanding job. He let me walk in one weekday at 4:55 and made me feel like I was the first customer of the day. Haircut was just what I was wanting. I was told this place was a South Grand institution and the haircut and hospitality still managed to exceed my expectations.

Marcos gave me a fade like I have never seen outside of Puerto Rican barbershops. The guy just went at it. A walk-​in came in and he turned him away for not having an appointment, vice rushing my cut and getting both of us in. Shop is austere. Got that great feeling of walking around all day with a really good looking haircut.

I stopped in here today after being fed up with the meth heads over at great clips that have been butchering my head the past few months. If only I would have known about this little spot… Anyway, I called earlier in the day and was booked for the last haircut of the day. Marco was the only barber on at the time and was very welcoming. Even though I was the last cut of the day, I didn’t feel like he was rushing to get off work as he paid great detail to my cut and had me looking good by the end.
I wasn’t bothered by the mindless conversation that every other bimbo hairdresser likes to force upon me which tells me he is paying attention to what he is doing and isn’t distracted by asking me what my favorite color is or smacking bubble gum in my ear. Marco is awesome and so is his barber shop. It has a real old school feel to it which adds to the pleasant experience. Throw in a straight edge razor shave on the back of the neck, and BAM! you got yourself a good cut. He said he has been there for 15 years and I hope he is there for at least 15 more.

i’m from CT out here for work one week. Marco killed it with the haircut. $ 18! i gave a ten for a tip. straight up solid barber shop.

Great haircut. Very nice people and atmosphere. Prices are very fair and they trim beards also.

Marco and the Anna’s are as good as it gets. I follow Grandpa’s 3 rules of hair cuts. Real Men go to real barbershops, always go to the top guy, and never, ever, ask for a quick trim. I go in like Marty Feldman and come out Gregory Peck. The cut is dirt cheap and high quality. Get off your wallet, flip a Jackson with a «keep the change,» and walk out feeling like a million bucks.

An authentic barbershop with great prices. I walked in without an appointment at noon and then walked out 30 minutes later with a great haircut. Thank you Marco.

I’ve been going to this place every 1 – 2 weeks since 2006. The woman who cuts my hair is Anna with dark hair (there’s a blonde Anna and a dark hair Anna). She knows exactly how to cut my hair, She’s NEVER given me a bad cut, and I’ve been going to her since she started there. Is she Ms «Chatty Cathy» –all smiles and giggles? No. But that’s not why I go to a barber shop. If I wanted to get my hair styled and have «coffee» talk I’d go to the galleria or some styling salon.
I love going to an old fashioned barber and simply getting a cut I like and not having to feel like I’m rude for not wanting to chat with the barber. That’s why I go and will continue to do so.

I have a few strong opinions about male grooming.
First, with no offense to the many great cosmetologists out there, men should go to barbers. Going to the barber shop is a male ritual where you get a haircut and a shave (and eyebrow trimming etc) and talk about guy things while reading guy magazines. These simple male pleasures are becoming harder and harder to come by in an increasingly androgynous world of women hockey fans and men going to wedding and baby showers (a shudder goes through my body just thinking about a shower,…). Many years ago I was told (probably by a barber) that barber training was more rigorous, but I know that this is no longer true, if it ever was.
Second, a man should pick a barber and stick with him or her. My barber knows my hair, how I like my hair cut, side burns, cowlicks, etc. Going to Wacky Cuts or whatever for an expensive haircut by different person every time is just silly.
This brings me to the Wyoming Barber shop. This barber shop is a St. Louis landmark that has been in continuous operation at the corner of S Grand and Wyoming for more than 100 years. The owners have changed many times in the last century, but the Wyoming Barber Shop has been a neighborhood constant — probably the only neighborhood constant.
The current owner/​barber is Marco. Marco has been my barber for the last 6 years. Haircuts are $ 12 and Marco has always done a great job. We talk about baseball, football, and occasionally politics in election years. This is everything a barber shop should be. In addition to Marco, two women currently cut hair but these positions have changed hands several times in the last 6 years.
Appointments are taken during the week, but Saturdays are first come first serve. I always go on Saturdays with minimal waits.
Do yourself a favor guys and come back to the barber shop. You won’t regret it.
