Kenwood Barbers
About This Spot
Step into Kenwood Barbers, and you immediately sense a space that’s quietly personal, the kind of neighborhood shop where familiarity grows over the hum of clippers and the low murmur of comfortable conversation. Nestled in the heart of Minneapolis’s Franklin Avenue, the pace here is unhurried yet purposeful—a place where taking a moment to know the person behind the chair and the person in it feels natural.
The atmosphere carries a warmth that goes beyond the wood-paneled walls and vintage barber chairs. It’s in the way the barber doesn’t rush, making sure every haircut and beard trim is tailored not just to your style, but to how you live your days. There’s a genuine craft to what happens here, the kind that invites regular visits and lends a subtle sense of trust, even if you’re new in town.
Kenwood Barbers is more than just a stop for a quick trim—it’s a quiet, reliable corner of the city where the art of barbering is treated with care and attention. Whether it’s a detailed beard shaping or a haircut shaped around your personal rhythm, the shop embodies a thoughtful approach to grooming, one that respects both tradition and the person sitting in the chair.
In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, this spot offers a grounded experience. You can expect to leave not only with a clean cut but with the calm assurance of someone who values the craft and the quiet human connection that comes with it.

Got a cut from Paul, the owner, and it was excellent service! I move around the states for work, and I'm someone who really values a real barber, not the standard "supercut" cookie cutter haircut. You can tell that Paul values his craft and takes the time to know your head and understand what you want. We got to talking about a great range of subjects too! All for 20 bucks, in an efficient and comfortable setting. If you need an actual cut done well, go to Kenwood.

Good service, good quality haircuts, and good pricing. What's not to love!? I enjoyed my haircut from Paul and will definitely be going back.

I’ve been in Paul’s chair every month or two for a decade. What’s more to say?

The day before my wedding I realized that I needed a quick clean-up to be ready for pictures, and I tried this place on short notice because of the great reviews. Paul didn't disappoint - best service I could have hoped for, and at an amazing price! Got a better beard trim and shape-up than I've had anywhere else. I'll be a customer here from now on!

Friendly neighborhood barbershop. Paul has been welcoming to me since day one and three years later I’m still enjoying great cuts and conversations. A barbershop that leaves you looking forward to the next visit. Make an appointment and enjoy a friendship.

Best haircut ever. I have bounced around between barbers and salons for years trying to find someone who could cut my hair the way I wanted it and no one could do it. I found Kenwood Barbers about a year ago and Paul is amazing. He was able to cut my hair exactly how I described the way I wanted it. I recently moved further away from the shop but I make the drive with no hesitation because of the quality haircut that I receive.
