How we made this list

We looked at 16 barber shops in Downtown, Bowling Green KY with a Google rating of 4.0 or higher and at least 20 reviews, then ranked by Google rating, weighted by how many people left one. A rating from thousands of reviews counts for more than the same rating from a handful, so a new place with a few perfect scores does not jump the queue. Ratings and hours are from public Google listings on 05 October 2026 and can change. Nobody paid to be on this list.
