"Very good place to get your hair cut , very friendly staff very great environment around the barber shop , highly recommended!!"
"So, I just got through walking to the closest barbershop from my house on one of the hottest days of the year. I arrived at 9:06 according to the Internet they open at nine. So I called them to see if they’re running late. Turns out they’re not running late they’re not showing up today. Now, I ran a business for 36 years. In the Northeast where you have snow storms ice storms. Sometimes hail, sometimes hurricanes, sometimes tornadoes, and I have never not been open when I said I would be open. I didn’t wait for customers to just show up and find out I’m not open. There wasn’t even anything on the door. Well, I figured I’d give them the benefit of the doubt. I called the phone number and a gentleman answered and basically told me they weren’t coming in today. He didn’t offer an explanation they just said something came up. Now, I’ve lived in downtown Fort Myers for two years. I have not yet gone to this barbershop even though it is the closest one to my home. Partly because of the negative reviews. You only have about 56 reviews and a large amount are negative. You do have some positive ones too so I figured today I’d go. Now, you probably wouldn’t be surprised I will never go again. What are you going to do. If you can’t keep the hours you post you probably should consider retiring. Best of luck in your retirement."
"I wanted to get the feel of an old fashioned haircut in an old fashioned parlor, I got it! The same person has been cutting my hair in the burbs of Chicago for over 30 years at a senior cost of only $9.00. This cut was done by James who started cutting hair in 1955! Definitely costs more but we’ll worth the visit!!"
"It will be very hard going back to a chain haircut place after my awesome haircut and experience at Blake's. The staff was very friendly and kind. After a short wait, Matt cut my hair. The thoroughness and attention to detail with every side was impressive to say the least. I walked out feeling like a million bucks. I will definitely be back. If you need a haircut, this is where to go!"
"I have been to all the chains and I consider myself lucky if they don’t butcher my hair. This place for 2 dollars more than your average franchise salon offers a great atmosphere and a great haircut for 18 bucks. If you need a hair cut in Fort Myers this is the place to go."
