This was my first time at this shop and I couldn’t be more pleased. Joe gave me my haircut and it came out great. It was a pleasure talking to him and he made me feel that I knew him for years. I would highly...Read More

What an amazing haircut and shave Shannon gave me. The best haircut and her first time cutting me. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you!

Been going to Friel’s for about two years now, and have never left disappointed. Friendly staff, and knowledgeable barbers. It’s a can’t miss in Hamilton.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you've ever walked into a barber shop and felt like you were stepping into a time machine that only takes you to a place with great hair and even better vibes, then welcome to Friel’s Barber shop! From the moment I crossed the threshold, I was greeted by a symphony of clippers and laughter, the perfect soundtrack for what I can only describe as a hair-raising adventure. It’s like the barbers here are part-time comedians and full-time hair magicians! Let’s talk about my barber, Joseph. Although Josef may be the preferred/proper spelling, he could make a hedge look good! I walked in with a mop that looked like it had survived a hurricane, and walked out looking like I just stepped off the cover of a magazine (or at least a flyer for a local pizza place—I'm still working on that glow-up). The attentiveness and skill were off the charts. They listened to my half-hearted description of what I wanted and somehow transformed it into a masterpiece. It was like they had a direct line to my hair’s inner desires! And can we take a moment to appreciate the decor? The walls are adorned with vintage posters and a collection of barbering tools that could make any history buff weep with joy. It’s like a museum, but instead of paintings, there are exquisite haircuts happening all around you! The atmosphere is so welcoming that even the waiting area feels like a cozy living room where you can binge-watch hair tutorials and contemplate your life choices (like why you waited so long to get a haircut). The complimentary coffee was a delightful bonus, though I must admit, I was tempted to ask if they had a side of hair gel to go with it! In conclusion, if your hair is in need of a little TLC or a total transformation, look no further than Friel’s Barber Shop. They’ll not only make you look fantastic, but you’ll leave with a smile on your face and a story or two to tell. My hair and I will be back—hopefully with a slightly more coherent description of what I want next time! Highly recommend! ✂️💈

If I could give 10 stars I would! Great barbershop, amazing/friendly staff! Brought my one year old in and they did a great job! Very satisfied and will be using Friel’s barbershop from here on out. Highly recommended and couldn’t be happier with his cut.

This is the best shop to get your haircut. The staff is friendly and you never worry about getting a bad haircut. I like how consistent it is. Every time you go in you know you are getting a good cut!

Friel's Barber shop is a wonderful place! I took my preschooler to have her hair cut really short( I did it myself, not the best job). Joe, the owner, greeted my child at her level. He was so kind and patient with her. She...Read More

It is not easy to find a place where you can consistently get a great haircut every time. It is hard to trust someone to continually deliver your requested style and listen to your specific hair needs. I searched for that type of...Read More
