Kirkland‘s Barbershop - Lakeland, Florida

Kayla Dulje

Me and my son have been going to Kirkland’s for our hair cuts for the last few months. Bobby is a very talented barber! I’m always so pleased with our cuts. He pays close attention to detail. I’ve always struggled finding a barber who could translate my vision for my hair. Great consultation every time. He is very skilled when it comes to skin fades and scissor work. He really puts the effort in to give my hair texture. He’s also super welcoming and friendly! Although my boy isn’t always the most excited for a haircut he leaves in a much better mood and is always so happy with his haircut.

Jay at Kirkland's Barber Shop: The Hair Whisperer

If you’re looking for a barber who doesn’t just cut hair but *transforms* it, then Jay at Kirkland's Barber Shop is your guy. Honestly, I don’t know what kind of magic Jay’s got up his sleeve, but I’m starting to suspect he’s secretly a wizard who’s been grooming hair for centuries.

First off, let’s talk about the chair experience. You sit down, and it’s like your problems just vanish. Jay greets you with a smile so warm, you almost forget that your hair has been growing wild and unruly for the last six months. No judgment, just pure, unconditional trust. Jay doesn’t need to ask what kind of cut you want—he already knows. It’s like he’s reading your soul through your split ends.

The haircut itself? Perfection. Jay doesn’t just *cut* hair; he sculpts it. I’ve left his chair feeling like a completely new person—like someone who could walk into a magazine cover shoot and be like, “Yeah, I just got out of Jay’s chair.” The way he handles the clippers? It’s like watching an artist with a paintbrush, except the canvas is your head and the medium is *absolute greatness*.

And the best part? He’s got a sense of humor that’ll have you cracking up the whole time. I went in thinking I’d just get a trim, but by the end, I’d been thoroughly entertained, educated on the latest sports drama, and had laughed so hard I forgot I was even getting my hair cut. I didn’t even care that I had a little neck shave happening, because Jay was cracking jokes like a stand-up comedian.

To summarize: if you’re looking for someone to just “cut your hair,” Jay’s probably not the right fit. But if you want a top-tier haircut *and* an unforgettable experience, Jay is your guy. Kirkland’s Barber Shop would not be the same without him—honestly, they should give him a cape. He’s a superhero in disguise, one snip at a time.

P.S. I’m now convinced Jay’s hands are somehow calibrated to create the perfect fade, and if you ask him, he’ll probably tell you he learned it from a secret barber society. Either that, or he’s just that good. Either way, trust the process—Jay knows best.

All the guys at Kirkland’s are super friendly. Rob cuts my hair and does an excellent job, I’d recommend anyone to come check Kirkland’s if they’re looking for a good Men’s haircut.

Been going to Bobby for around a year. The best barber In Lakeland. He always on point with what I ask for. If you’re wanting a 5 star cut he’s the one to go to.

Mr. Bobby (as my 12 yr old calls him) aka Bobby Blendz is the best barber in town! He takes his time making sure you are satisfied with your cut and pays close attention to the fine details. Bobby is more than a barber, he is a role model and a friend to our family. 100% recommend Bobby for all your barber needs!

So thankful for Bobby! My hairdresser that was going to cut my son’s hair for his wedding in a few days was stuck in Tampa due to the flooding. I called around and was recommended to Bobby. I sent him the pictures of how we were hoping he could cut the hair. He did a great job! Thank you so much!!! We were all so stressed about that! Whew! One less thing to stress about. 😉

I walked into the new shop on Lake Miriam after getting a very bad cut and having a disappointing experience elsewhere. Derek took me right away. Not only did he fix the bad haircut, but the work he did was super professional. He gave me the cut I didn’t know I wanted. Great team and very highly recommend Derek, a true professional who takes pride in his work.

Barber named Felix H. cuts my 6 year old grandson Connor’s hair. He pays attention to detail and makes Connor feel comfortable. He loves going to get his haircut!
