Unfortunately, Ron is hanging up his clippers. Hes been in Ames sine the mid-50s and barbering almost that long. History, sports, politics and current events were all likely topics of conversation that everyone in the shop enjoyed. I wish my barber and friend a successful retirement.

Currently closed due health issues, per sign on door. I hope Ron will be ok

Best barber in Ames. Hes a very nice guy and easy going. Hes been cutting hair for a long time and it shows!

Cyclone is absolutely fantastic. Walked in and the barber happily greeted me and sat me down. The haircut came out great and he made sure I got what I wanted. Not at all expensive. If youre looking for actual barber and not salon experience, this is the place

Great guy and gave me an excellent haircut. Today was my 1st time there and was pleasantly surprised at the job he did. My hair is straight and dark so it shows every uneven spot but I dont see any after this cut. Would highly recommend, its a true barber shop which makes it even better!!

My first cut from Ron was in 1976.That pretty much says it, eh? 😄Best cut. Best price. And all the town news.Like the old west... 👍 Might see an ISU coach or two...

Great guy who gives you a great cut. The morning walk in hours are a huge plus too

If you are a man and you like to go to a barber (not a stylist, or hair dresser) then Ron Bartlett at Cyclone Barber is your man. Talk is not alway politically correct and if frank discussions on ISU Athletics offends you, then you had better go to Great Clips. This is a barber shop with a bottle of whiskey next to the coffee pot. Ron is a very good barber with a long and successful history in Ames.Open at 8:00 am Monday-Thursday. Walk-ins in the morning and appointments after lunch. Stop in for a good haircut and walk out knowing a whole lot more about Ames. Ron is an Ames treasure.UPDATE 5/4/15: Rons new hours are from 8:00 am - 11:00. 12:00 - 2:00 pm M-Th. Walk-in in the mornings, appointments in the afternoon. Appointments fill up FAST!

Great guy and a great cut. He is very friendly and takes time to make sure you get what you want.

Great place!
