Built for Minneapolis barbers
Minneapolis-St. Paul spans fifteen counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin and had just 78 employer barber shops, 90 percent of them with fewer than five staff. Census publishes no counts for the larger classes here. Minnesota also requires registered barbers to work in a registered shop or school unless the board authorizes otherwise, so a shop is where the bookings land, and the shop's booking page is where clients find them.
The figures cover all fifteen counties in the Census definition of the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro, from Anoka County and Carver County to Chisago County, not just the city itself. Set that against 1,133 employer beauty salons in the same area, roughly 14.5 salons per barbershop. CBP counts only establishments with paid employees, so chair renters and solo barbers without staff are missing from the barbershop figure, which makes it a floor rather than a ceiling. That places Minneapolis-St. Paul 18 of the 20 most populous US metros by barber shops count.
County by county, Hennepin County had 31, Ramsey County 17 and Dakota County 12. Hennepin County alone holds 40 percent of the metro total. By size, 70 had under five staff, 5 had five to nine. Census does not publish every size class for this metro, so the classes shown may not add up to the total. Of the 20 most populous metros, the closest count to Minneapolis-St. Paul's 78 is San Diego's 81. Set against 3,722,476 residents in the 2023 estimate, it works out to roughly 2.1 per 100,000 people, ranking 16 of 20.
Minnesota law says no person may practice barbering without a current certificate of registration issued by the Board of Barber Examiners, and a registered barber must work in a registered barber shop or barber school unless the board authorizes otherwise.
Frequently asked
How many barbershops are there in Minneapolis?
County Business Patterns counted 78 barber shops with paid employees in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metro in 2023. Solo barbers with no payroll are not included, so the real number of places to get a cut is higher.
Where can a Minnesota barber work?
Under section 154.01 of Minnesota Statutes, a registered barber must only provide barbering services in a registered barber shop or barber school, unless the board gives prior authorization.
Can I ask for reviews after a cut?
Yes. BookAndGo can send a review request after the appointment, and you choose which reviews appear on your booking page.
Do I need separate services for each cut?
That is up to you. Some shops keep a single Haircut service, others split out fades, beard trims and lineups, each with its own duration.
