Why is it so hard to get a good men's haircut in Jacksonville?

I recommend Combs Barber & Style Shop, which is in the BB&T Building (20 North Hogan Street). They have been a Downtown business for decades. The late B.J. Combs was the original owner, and now his son Johnny and daughter-in-law Sue run the shop. Both do very good work, and their prices are reasonable. 904-354-1125 is their number if you want to make an appointment.

Central Barber at St Johns Bluff and Atlantic.

No falutin styling here, this is a mans' barbershop.

If you like old Navy stuff, you will like Central.

Cliff's Barbershop on University at San Jose ( same shopping center as Gene's Seafood )  is always a quality cut.

They just put in all new Barber's chairs. But still have an antique cash register so bring greenbacks!!!

I don't know if they still do this at Central Barber, but I remember going there years ago with friends on the midnight shift who would get off at 0700 and stop by Central to get a buzz (cut!) and chatting with Navy, JFRD, JSO, and others on shift work, drinking strong coffee and listening to some very lively conversations at that time of day while I perused Esquire, Sports Illustrated and Car & Driver.  Learned a lot there from people you don't often hear much from and seemed amazed a female would even come in there!  It's quite manly.  No, I didn't get a cut while there, but it was a fun place to lurk.
