Barbers in The Villages
 
As a newbie, I need to find a barber, ideally south of 466- seeking a traditional barber, and not a “Supercuts” kinda place. Thanks.

I prefer “Brandi’s Place” 1102 Main St Wildwood, Place is clean and charges $8 for men and $10 for women

retiredguy123 01-10-2023 02:13 PM

Cal's barber shops, 4 locations. I use Colony Plaza. Men, $16, women, $19.

Since the pandemic began, I have cut my own hair using a Flowbee. I am happy with the results and I am going to continue.

I don't know unless that includes a shampoo, which I don't get.

Because they can, patrons are paying it.

Cal's, Lake Sumter Landing. Tom is my guy. $16 every ten weeks or so with a $4 tip. I've paid a lot more for a lot less.

I have used Norma for many years at the Colony Cal's and would highly recommend her.

The Country Barber Shop at 1004 W Dixie Ave, Leesburg, FL 34748. They don't take plastic so cash or checks only. Also is best to call for an appointment.

Bought a pair of electric clippers many years ago.
Go over head with a Number 2 every couple of weeks, then taper edges.
Saved an awful lot of $$$.
No fuss haircut. No combing or styling. Just wash and walk!:thumbup:

I like Cals in Brownwood. Barbers Keith or Joe. Very good traditional haircut. About $16. I believe, plus tip.

camp.mich@rocketmail.com 01-11-2023 07:23 AM

Brandi’s on 301 $8.00

Mel at Cal's in Lake Sumter Landing.

She cuts both mine and my wife's. If she can satisfy my wife, you can be assured that she is good. We each paid 2-3 times more up north for cuts that weren't as good. You'll realize how good she is when you try to schedule an appointment.

I go to the Cal's Colony Plaza location every 3 weeks or so. The price for a men's haircut last week was $16 and $19 for women. I don't know about the other locations.

I'll second Brandi's. $8 is hard to beat unless you clip your own. Never had a bad cut there

I use the $8 cuts in Wildwood on 301. A bunch of Gals there cutting hair and do a decent job.

Went there once. It’s horrible. Bad haircut. It’s really a beauty parlor. Will never go back.
Too bad, it’s close to home.

Try the Cal's in Colony Plaza. It is just a barber shop, not a beauty parlor.

The problem with Cal's - any Cal's - and most of the bargain shops around The Villages area is that the haircuts are either "buzz cuts," or they look like a $10.00 haircut. I travel to Ocala for an upscale haircut every month. Get your hair cut around here and you'll get what you pay for, and maybe not even that.

As I understand it, Cal's doesn't train barbers. They just rent chairs to experienced barbers. The barbers are independent contractors. They do make appointments, so a really bad barber will not last long.

Way off base.

keithwand 01-11-2023 03:56 PM

Me too although on #8. A lot of my friends cut their own too. That’s how I got started years ago.

Finding a barber
 
Lady Lake Barber Shop. All the barbers are very good. My husband goes to Lynn Hicks, lady barber/cosmetologist. She is very good. Haircuts, $16.00. Ladies go there also and get very good cuts from Dave. 342 Hwy 27/441 s. Lady Lake. 352-750-9919.
After the haircut, go to Cottage Inn for lunch, great soups.

:1rotfl: Years ago there was another place on 441 near Big Al's that had a sign out front that said "We fix $8.00 haircuts."
