Cox’s Barber Shop
Quick info
About Cox’s Barber Shop
On Government St in Ocean Springs, Cox's Barber Shop has been locally owned and operated for more than 60 years. The shop runs on walk-ins only, with a number system that keeps customers in order rather than competing for the next open chair. Multiple barbers work the floor, each with different specialties ranging from flat tops to long hair to specialty fades, and the staff will place a customer with whoever suits the style requested. Haircuts come alongside beard trims, and the barbers cut both men's and women's hair. It stays open Tuesday through Saturday, closed Mondays and Sundays, and the shop can get busy enough that a wait builds up at times.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for a great haircut delivered at a walk-in, old-style barbershop, with several describing an emergency fix or a fresh trim and a beard trim in the same visit that turned out on point. Close behind, many single out the low, reasonable prices and note the shop's number system, which keeps regulars from getting slid ahead of others. A few mention specific barbers by specialty, like flat tops, long hair, or fades, and say the staff work to pair customers with the right barber for what they want. One recurring caution stands out against that pattern: one parent describes a teenager's simple trim request turned into an uneven, overly short military-style cut the day before school, calling it unfixable and saying the family wouldn't return. Otherwise the visits described are friendly, with barbers who know returning customers by name after a first cut.

“As always this place is awesome. Have never been disappointed.”
- Missy Hall
“Always a friendly environment regardless of who you are. @Crispy Chrispen, I think you should give this place another try. All of the Barbers there are very accepting of all lifestyles. I know this from personal experience. If one of the male barbers asked you to wait for one of the female barbers, it could have possibly been due to them being more experienced in the cut you were requesting. Just like a lot of barber shops, there some barbers who specialize in flat tops, long hair or specialty fades. If you are truly a long time customer, then you should more than know that not one of the people in there are homophobic. As for future customers, if you want a great cut with a fun, old barbershop vibe, then go to Cox’s. Not to mention it is the cheapest barbershop probably in the State.”

“This place is amazing walk-ins only and it’s the kind of barbershop where everybody knows everybody and they’ll know your name after your first visit. Locally owned and operated for 60+ years. I I couldn’t be more pleased with the service and my haircut today. I will Definitely be frequenting Cox’s from now on!”
