Logan was awesome! First time ever going to a barber shop. I'm used to home cuts done by myself and family, but I have a few events coming up and thought I might as well try getting something done professionally. Logan was nice and we had a good conversation about what I want for my hair and taught me how to style it at home. My hair is pin straight but he really added some good texture into it. Will 100% be returning for maintenance cuts.

I had Kevin as my Barber and he was absolutely AMAZING. I'm still in that area of trying to find what works for me and he was more than willing to tell me what was up with my hair and what I could do to find my hairstyle. He was also just fun to be around and easy to work with and that means a for me as someone with anxiety. He is the first person that I was more than happy to talk with and I hope to have him do my hair again soon!

I'm visiting Indianapolis and I needed a haircut, Fatboys Barbershop didn't seem to take itself too seriously but I felt I was in good hands with Nickey, a clean cut and refreshing change from my normal haircut at home with a nice conversation to top it off. I highly recommend checking this place out!

The exterior of Fatboys Barbershop: a gray brick corner building with a red roof at Shelby and South Iowa, with a barber shop sandwich board on the sidewalk.
Getting there

Look for the red roof.

No suite number to hunt for and no lobby to walk through. It's the free-standing corner building, and the door is right there on Shelby.

1802 Shelby St, at South Iowa — gray brick, red roof, sandwich board on the sidewalk, exactly as it looks in the photo.
