The Mug & Brush Barber Shop

Santana is the best. She cuts everyone in the family’s hair and does a great job!

First time at this Barber Shop, Great atmosphere, Friendly Staff. Definitely would recommend! 10/10!

Zach Marquardt did a great job. Definitely try to get him if you want a nice cut

Jim does a great job shaping my beard, I always love visiting this place!

Visiting in Columbus, and was looking for a local barbershop for a shave. Definitely glad I called - had a relaxing hot towel shave and head shave accompanied by great music and even better conversation. Highly recommend Mug & Brush to anyone looking for anything from a regular cut to a hot shave. Anytime I find myself needing a cut while in the Columbus area again, I'll be returning here for sure. Service, conversation, and quality are all top notch!

**EDITED TO UPDATE: Aug. 2020**
Greetings Googlers! I'm hoping Google will bump this review for visibility since it's a year old, but I'll post another copy/5* anyways, just 'cause y'all deserve it! And most important part first - M&B is doing a phenomenal job keeping things clean and comfortable for clients. As of this writing (24 Aug 2020) they are open by appointment only. I've been back twice in as many months and feel more than comfortable visiting (this from a man who gets a beard shape/trim, so that's saying A LOT).

I'm excited to announce that since last year:
1) Mug and Brush is still SUCH an amazing shop that I had to come back
2) I relocated here from Florida and continue to return

I'm not saying one caused the other, but if a barbershop *WERE* good enough to relocate for, it would definitely look and feel like Mug and Brush. From the decor to the attention to the back bars to the people that make it an awesome place to return to; this place is a Columbus institution.

My S.O. was kind enough to treat me to a "manpering" and got me a gift certificate to return here, as she remembered how highly I spoke of them after my last visit. Thanks to her, Santana has given me 2 phenomenal experiences here in the past few months. I've had a number of hot shaves over the years, but none where I left feeling like a met a new friend - Enter: Mug and Brush. The owner (I believe) was there solo on my first visit, reviewed above, and I carried on a conversation with him like we were old friends. Santana has been no different; I instantly felt comfortable, chatting almost like we were acquaintances catching up after not seeing each other for 10 years. Her attention to detail is incredible; she takes more pride in her work than most people I know - and it shows. She also turned me onto a new beard oil/balm - The Bearded Pup - locally made just an hour and a half south of here. I'll have a review for them forthcoming, as well. Long story short, Mug and Brush - in all of the pieces and people that compose it - make a haircut an experience.

And to any guys out there looking for a hot scalp shave - this is your place! 10/10, Highly recommend, will return.
