A little old fashioned barber shop with an old school barber. The barber is very nice and easy to talk to. Most barbers use a plastic glide, but he uses a metal glide so your normal 1’s or 2’s here area bit shorter than normal. Overall the haircut was ok, barber was really chill when asked to redo my sides. Haircut comes with complimentary hand held machine back massager. Traditional haircuts here, he doesn’t do any fawhawks, mohawks, fades or etc. You don’t really need to make appointments, walk-ins are welcome.

Great, cheap haircut; no fuss. I tried to walk-in to the prissy hipster place around the block, and they said that they couldn’t take me and were booked for the next WEEK. So I found Orlyn at his little old school shop and got a terrific cut, neck shave and massage for $ 18. Nice guy too.

Orlyn did a great job — great place downtown. Unilocal reviews on track. Orlyn, you’ll hear from me soon.

I’ve been going to Arlen for about a year and am very happy with the work he does. I used to cut my own hair because I keep it very short and felt most places didn’t do a good job. He cuts it short & consistent throughout, blends it in back & does a great job with the straight razor(back of the neck). And a machine massage on the neck to finish? I’ll keep going back!

Great haircut, a little above average price for what I’m used to, but it was worth it. Not a very large location but it’s a barber shop I didn’t expect it to be big. I definitely will be coming back to this spot again. I forgot my barbers name but he was really easy to hold a conversation with. He likes to drink beer so ask him about the beer cobra king, I believe is what it’s called. I guess his name is Orlyn.

Orlyn is the man. Came into town from Williston for Easter and needed a quick cut. I like it short on the sides faded to longer on top and I’m pretty picky, but he nailed it. Small place and I would call ahead to make an appointment to be sure. Great cut, good conversation, a clean neck shave, and massage in 15 – 20 min. Cash n check only two thumbs up!

First time in Bismarck, and I needed a haircut. The smart phone pulled up a handful of Barber Shops, but only Mike’s had somebody rate him. He’s old school, and besides giving you a great hair cut, you can get schooled in US geography. «Do you know which four states have their Capital, start with the same letter as the state?» Mike does. Try him out.

Before I found Bismarck Barber Shop I would have thought it impossible to find good barber who provides a back massage(ok, with a machine), beer on Friday’s(ok, you may have to run to the Elbow Room to get it) and Playboy magazines. This place exists and is on the south side of Main just west of 6th st. He takes appointments but is not open on Mondays or Saturday afternoons. Most importantly, he can do a real flat top.
