Central Barber Shop

Central Barber Shop is a great place for a great haircut at a great price!

Jerry is an old school barber and does an excellent job with men's haircuts. I have been a customer for over 12 years and Jerry does the best flat top I've ever had.

Jerry has raised his prices only once over the last 12 years from $8 to $10. He is also very accommodating and stays open until the last customer is done.

Jerry is a Master Barber, and an awesome guy. Perfect haircuts every time. 60+ years experience and the cost is low. With the charm of a real Barber shop. That is why I go to him no matter what.

Visited Central Barber Shop as I was looking for a new place to get a quick haircut. Jerry was very friendly and quickly gave me a haircut. I get very simple buzzcuts with a No 2 blade and am not a fan of paying $20 plus tip at other shops I've been to for such a simple haircut. His cost was $10 for a haircut. Also no appointment required. If your looking for a good haircut, give Central Barber Shop a try. I'll definitely go back.

Jerry is a legend!! He has matchless experience and has literally devoted his life to his craft!
There’s no other barber I know of who has kept his prices lower, his customers happier, and his hair skills sharper. He deserves 100 stars in my opinion!

I have been going to Central Barber Shop since I was a kid. Jerry, the barber\owner is a super nice\friendly guy and wants make sure you are happy with your haircut. He's great with the Clippers and does killer flat tops and jar head buzz cuts. He has pictures of different haircuts on the walls and you can just pint to the one you want/like and he will tell you if he can make that happen with your hair type. Now, the best of all is that the haircuts are only $10. Yes, that's right $10 and aims to please. What mare can you ask for? Well I have another plus in case you were asking for more. The atmosphere is old school barbershop and you feel like you're in an old school barber shop because you are when you're at Central Barber Shop. Two thumbs up and highly recommended.

While I don't personally get my hair done by Central Barber Shop - the man in my life has for decades and always looks fantastic!
Jerry truly is the best!

Jerry's a great barber, I come here as often as I can. I drive almost a half hour just because I don't have a barber shop by me, and it is THAT IMPORTANT to support local. He's also open very early, and usually will come even earlier if you call.

Great old fashioned barbershop! The proprietor is the only barber in the shop so wait times can get a little long on Saturdays, however you can always go next door to get a cup of coffee or a sandwich while you wait. Haircuts are given fairly quickly, but don't be surprised if your cut is interrupted by the mailman coming in, the barber stopping to wave to or even talk to passersby, or to share something from the newspaper. If you're concerned that this might take too long then you're in the wrong place. This is all part of the small town charm that makes shops like this a quickly fading treasure of a generation past. This shop is an Elgin institution and shouldn't be missed.

We heard about this shop last week from friends. Hard to believe it is still going! Husband went there about 70 + yrs. ago with his dad for all of his haircuts He plans on stopping in for a hair cut in sept.
Just for old times sake. He has not been there sense the early `50`s.
It used to be owned by Charlie the Barber in the fourtys and fiftys.

Jerry is absolutely the man of steel. He’s the best barber I’ve been to for 20 years straight, and I’m 26 years old.

Old time manly experience with stories of hunting, fishing, politics, current events and family values. Quality haircut at a reasonable price. I've been going since the early '80s.

Ryan does a excellent job trimming beards

This place is great. The owner Jerry is very personable and even kept the shop open latr for me. Not to mention the great price and hot lather neck shave!

The only place for a men's hair cut. Great man behind the chair. Was a pleasure to a do a little business with him while in town. Been here since 1962

Definitely one of your old school barbers. Prices are also old school and won't break the bank. Never really had to wait too long to get a hair cut.

Great old school barber. Jerry, the owner knows his stuff. Classic local barber shop experience.

It's like it was in the 1950s. Classic two-seat barber shop, Jerry's been there over 50 years. A little nostalgia for the way it was.

This is the only place where I will get my hair cut. $10 for a hair cut by a barber who has been in business for 60 years is a great deal

Great old time barbershop! Jerry is a true professional.

Great Barber shop. Jerry is the best. He always remembers me.
