Arizona’s Top Rated Local® Barber Shop Award Winner: Carl’s Barber Shop

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Carl’s Barber Shop is a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner!

With an impressive 94.73 Rating Score™ and tons of positive online reviews, Carl’s Barber Shop has landed among the top 10 barber shops in the entire state of Arizona. Here are just three of the many reviews that earned them this award:

“Good, quick, inexpensive haircut. Very nice guy. He definitely has the ‘barber knack’ for small talk and remembering details about earlier conversations. I don’t get my hair cut that often, but even when I first started going to him, he remembered things I had said about my family and work from earlier visits. It was impressive considering I was a newer customer and only came in once in a while. He seems genuinely interested and curious about people.” -Christopher W.

“Went to Carl’s for the first time today after just googling ‘barber shops in Mesa’ and was far from disappointed. We are from Arkansas and have just moved here and will forever use Carl. He was very friendly, nice, and quick. The haircut my husband got was perfect. The edges were trimmed and he didn’t have to wash any hair off when he got home. [I] definitely recommend this barber shop to anyone and everyone!” -Baylie S.

“Great cut! I drove past at least five fancy ‘barber shops’ to get to this place. Clean little shop with a friendly barber. Best fade I have had in years, not a hint of a transition line anywhere on my head. This guy could charge double and I would still go back! Nice to see there are still professionals out there who can do it right.” -Justin M.

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We got a chance to speak with Carl, the owner of Carl’s Barber Shop, about his business’ online reputation and success. When we asked about what makes his shop different, Carl attributed it to “29 years doing cuts. I listen to what they want and try to make them happy. [I’ve stayed] consistent for a long time.” He went on to say, “[I] do the best I can. I don’t know if I’m the best, but I just leave it in God’s hands and stay consistent. [You’ve] gotta love your work, and I love it. I never take my business for granted. [I] try to make customers happy so they come back and recommend me to others”

Building Success Through Consistency and Service

It’s clear that Carl truly cares about the people he serves, and that becomes even more apparent in the online reviews he’s received. He says his secret to a successful online reputation is “Being consistent. [I] listen to what people want, not what [I] want, then visualize.”

With such a stellar reputation both online and off, Carl is sure to have some wisdom to spread to other business owners. His advice to those looking to improve their online reputation? “Be consistent, stay at it.”


Congratulations to the team at Carl’s Barber Shop for being a 2018 Top Rated Local award winner!
