Ola Barbers: Reviews
Negative experience: 50 for the worst haircut of my entire life which only took 15 or so mins. The kid, literally a boy, might have tried his best and I was keep repeating not like that to his question but I eventually gave up. I just wanted cheap quick decent haircut as I heard my workmate got his haircut for 35. Worst $50 I've ever spent. I even felt like I was picked for his apprenticeship training. Don't recommend AT ALL.
Positive experience: The team at ola barbershop hermit park are really good but the shop is filthy dirty, I havnt been for some time, I couldn’t wait to get out of there, seriously it made me feel itchy and dirty Why
Negative experience: If you want to waste your weekend come here.
Fantastic experience: Great barbers, any hair style cutting at a very reasonable price. Very polite and well mannered young gentleman.
Fantastic experience: Thankyou Ola and Grazie Mohammed , really appreciate the haircut .
Negative experience: Posting for my son as he has just had he worst haircut I've ever seen in his life. He is too nice to say anything but seriously, I can't believe you'd let someone leave your salon with a haircut like that. He also said it was a long waiting time and the cut took just as long. Over 1 and a half hours for short back and sides. Clippers were out of alignment and caused discomfort as well.
Negative experience: Absolute amateur cut
Negative experience: Very basic mens haircut $50 A basic barbers shop with very high profile prices.. Do not recommend
Negative experience: Took my son in for a hair cut at the Willows shop in the afternoon understandably only two guys on so the wait time would be a little while. Although we waited for one barber to smash out 3 clients before the other did 1. We unfortunately got this barber and sat there for 40mins getting his hair cut. Which would have been fine if it was done well, it wasn’t. Then was advised it was $65 my son is 9. Disappointed is an understatement after being there for 1 hour and a half the other barber was still assisting other clients and the shop was closing soon so we didn’t stick around to ask if the other barber could fix it.
Fantastic experience: Affordable
Negative experience: Went in Tuesday to see how much a Beard trim was. Got told buy a young guy $20. Got a trim today cost $30. Need to get your prices right
Positive experience: Great service,did what I wanted
Fantastic experience: Been going to arhy for a while now good barber.
Fantastic experience: Been there twice and it has never disappointed highly recommend this shop if you are getting a haircut
Negative experience: Hey I took my brother to get a cut at ola barbers recently. My brothers hair was cut by a young man, still in school who didn’t seem to have much experience cutting hair at all. I wasn’t told he was an apprentice or anything so we I assumed he was capable. At the end of the cut he got another barber to have a look at it, but his fade and blend were still uneven. Very disappointed considering the hype around this shop. Please hire people who actually know how to cut hair or train them better!
Fantastic experience: Thomas the Barber ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Negative experience: The girl, who appeared to be roughly 13 years old and who had quite clearly never cut hair before, gave my boyfriend a horrendous haircut that has still not grown out after weeks as it was so uneven. She was totally unprofessional and had to be told over and over again what he wanted, which she still couldn’t manage, so obviously she just doesn’t know how to cut hair. She also took a call during the haircut and seemed totally disinterested. As I sat on the couch waiting 45 minutes for this ridiculous haircut (usually they take 15–20 max) I noticed clumps of dust and matted hair underneath the couches and around the pot plant, that had clearly been there for a long time. There was hair everywhere from multiple haircuts even though they were not busy at all. Then the guy behind the counter started blowing hair around all over the place instead of just sweeping it up like a normal person. Perhaps keep a grown up on the premises to make sure things are done to the bare minimum standard. Jeez
Fantastic experience: Got a haircut today by Thomas, have been coming for the last 3 months and will continue to. Best barbers I've been to in Townsville
Fantastic experience: Got a cut from the barber Thomas did a great fade really happy will be returning

Fantastic experience: Impressive young men ! Never been happier!
Fantastic experience: Had the best haircut ever by Ola herself so professional and friendly the job wasn't rushed and can honestly say I will not be going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Great cut, staff are very friendly and professional!
Fantastic experience: I don’t think you can get a better cut and service for the same price anywhere in town. I’ve been going to Chance for a while now and he delivers every time. Would definitely recommend him to all my mates
Fantastic experience: Always go to see a lad named Chance, hands down best barber and has been cleaning me up for years. takes his time to listen to what to you want and has so much pride in his work, every one who sits in his chair walks out confident they got an amazing fade and couldn’t find a better one anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Had Thomas cut my son's hair today did a exccellent job will definitely be returning
Fantastic experience: Went into there new shop for the first time over the weekend it was sick great vibe the barber Thomas did my hair did a great job
Positive experience: Been having Thomas cut my hair since he was a apprentice does a awesome job definitely recommended this place
Fantastic experience: Changed barbers recently Thomas been doing my hair for the last few months gets it perfect everytime gives me exactly what I ask for
Fantastic experience: Got a beard fade and undercut today it was the best ive ever had my beard lined up the barber Thomas really took his time to make it perfect will definitely be returning great vibe
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for the past year thomas always cuts my sons hair he always does a great job highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Great barbers in a high end barber shop. The staff are friendly and do a great job. My latest cut was from a guy named Chance. He did a great job with the buzz cut, fade and the beard. Highly recommend. Don’t waste your time with other barbers
Fantastic experience: Chance is great! Does exactly what you ask, and takes pride in his work. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place been going to the barber Thomas for afew years always gives a great cut
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Thomas the barber for around 6 months now never a bad haircut highly recommend him always does a great job with attention to detail
Fantastic experience: Lad named Chance cut my hair, walked in looking dusty and walked out looking like the #1 on mens vogue. Fade was impeccable. Top trimmed to perfection. Time wasn’t too long and not too short , you can tell the lad takes pride in his work and it shows. I believe his name should be written in the history books somewhere for the amount of lives he’s saved.
Fantastic experience: Would recommend ola barbers to anyone, always a great cut and good environment, have been getting cut by chance for about a year now and never disappoints!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend seeing Chance, very good service with great prices.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely stellar experience at Ola Barber ! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the inviting atmosphere. My barber Chance was not only skilled but also attentive to my preferences, ensuring I left with the perfect haircut. The attention to detail and precision they put into their work truly sets them apart. I can confidently say I've found my go-to barber shop. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I would like too leave a review for the two barbers I’ve been going too for 3+ years and have never let me down always consistent and good too talk too make haircuts fun and enjoyable Thomas and chance highly recommend both of these boys!!!
Fantastic experience: Really good atmosphere always have went to the same guy, chance has cut my hair for over a year now he takes his time and makes sure to do a good job haven’t had a single bad cut yet.
Negative experience: On the 9th of April, I got the worst haircut ever at this salon. The hair dresser in the afternoon shift around 3:30 PM, who I assume was an islander with a small ponytail, did a terrible job. It was so messed up that it couldn't be easily fixed. The next day, I had to go overseas for work purposes and I did visit another hairdresser there to fix it up. He mentioned that an unqualified person had done the initial cut and tried his best to correct it. I wanted to leave a review but forgot about it then. I usually had good experiences at this salon, but this time was a huge disappointment. The stylist seemed unfazed by his mistake, but I didn't confront him since there was nothing that could be done. He should not be cutting people's hair. I won't be going to this place again.
Positive experience: Good vibe from the get go, Barber with cornrows was very helpful with suggestions for haircut and helped me achieved my desired cut, very efficient and good price
Negative experience: I gave a one star because there is no 0
Fantastic experience: IDC about these other 1 star reviews. I went there earlier today and already I was imediatly seated. They took there time and but effort into every bit. The music was great and I was an enjoyable experience. Thanks for making my identity 10 times more beutiful
Negative experience: Drove my partner to this barber after seeing positive reviews. Complete rush job, he was in the chair less than 2 mins and the guy absolutely butchered his hair, uneven side burns, squared off neck, choppy top. I had to tidy it up when we got home. I’ve never seen such a poor cut. I’m sure not all the barbers in this store are the same but consistency and customer care is crucial for returning business. We won’t be returning.
Fantastic experience: The wait wasn't too long, the service was great. In & out of the chair within 15mins.
Negative experience: Stay out of this place its full of drop kick barbers that are stuck up and always in the rush. Especially that luke kid he got annoyed with me after I asked my hair to be blown dry as it was still too wet. It wasn't much of a request, I asked politely but he was still rude about it, he purposely pointed the blow drier on my face. Terrible cut too.
Ok first off, we have no barber named luke, secondly, Your only 2 reviews are Ola barbers and youssef barbers, let alone they are 10 minutes apart. Considering it is impossible for you to have gotten 2 haircuts at 2 different shops in the span of 10 minutes and by a worker that doesn’t even exist, this is most definitely a competitor barbershop with a fake account, but that’s alright as the Townsville community know that our barbershops provide great haircuts and that’s all that matters, have a great day and I hope business is well
Fantastic experience: Good quick haircut. Didn't catch his name but the young skinny fella did a great job for $30
Negative experience: Normally good place but seems to have gone down hill, arrived 45 mins before closing time and was the only customer waiting. After half an hour of waiting was told if I wanted my haircut done I would have to pay an extra $25 to have it done otherwise I should come back tomorrow. Wouldn’t of been an issue had they just told me straight they couldn’t do it today up but to leave me waiting for 30 mins then tell me I need to pay $25 on top of the price of the haircut is a bit much Especially when it normally takes no longer than 10-15 mins to do and we still hadn’t reached closing time…
Negative experience: Worst haircut I’ve ever had, will never go back!! She should not be cutting hair.
Fantastic experience: I called to book an appointment, they said we do walk ins and come straight down. So I did, got straight in, haircut done and dusted, cool vibe, good music, I will be back in 6 weeks,
Thank you Rhett
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience.
Thank you Steve
Negative experience: Not the best, not the worst. We drove 30 minutes in from out of town for a haircut from a barber because my son wanted a haircut off their Facebook page. Sat and waited for 30 mintures to be told no one there could do it (foehawk with tracks). Which is the whole reason you to to a barber shop like this. The young man that did my son's hair can do a good fade, I seen on the boy before, but I don't rate my sons haircut at all. The back is much shorter than the picture supplied. It's a good haircut, just not the one we wanted or asked for.
Fantastic experience: They were quick, professional, extremely well priced and they gave me a great cut
Thanks Rowan
Negative experience: I took my young son there this morning. The young barber seemed completely insensitive to the fact that he was cutting an 8 year old's hair. My son appeared to be in all kinds of discomfort and upon leaving he said that the barber was rough with his head's movements. I guess this is to be expected when you've got 4 young homies for barbers who looked to be barely out of their teens. We won't be back.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing everybody is nice and gave a very good haircut and made my hair look nice they get everybodys hair done quickly and that puts ola above other barbers will be definitely coming back.
Negative experience: All were really young and my sons haircut was horrible it was 1cm longer on one side very noticeable and definitely was not what he asked for unfortunately wont be heading back there
Positive experience: My 2 sons and myself had fades and a Mullet cuts and couldn’t have been happier with the end results. They had 4 Barbers on a Friday morning and it was very busy, however they managed to give everyone the attention needed for good results and also had everyone seen to in a timely manner. We will be back in 6 weeks.
Fantastic experience: The barber who did my hair was really great. Made some tight lines and did exactly what I asked him to do.
Glad to hear, thanks for your review:)
Negative experience: Worst shavers rash I’ve ever had no soap used when using the razor never once had shavers rash before hole face and neck red absolute terrible lined up beard would not recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Great haircuts, friendly staff and the vibe is sweet as. 10/10 recommend
Thanks Jimmy
Fantastic experience: Thanks guys very friendly
Pleasure anytime :)
Fantastic experience: Fade was nice, place has a chill atmosphere
Negative experience: Got a fade from there and they spent 1:30 on a haircut and still it’s not blended well I don’t recommend them
Fantastic experience: Great skilled barber gave me the best haircut of my life with a killer fade.
Fantastic experience: Thanks guys great hair cuts for both my boys
Negative experience: Will never go back to kmart # the worst haircut ever asked for number 4 at the back and taper down she did a no2 and I have big gashes were she's scalped me she put gel in it to make it look better when I got home and had a shower I released how short it was oh eye brows were waxed only the top out side I should have realised but was talking alot but lesson learnt maybe a good barber for men if so don't do women's hair, sorry guys won't be back and won't recommend cheers this was the # barbers in the kmart building stockland
Fantastic experience: The fav barber shop in Townsville, clean professional cut every time. Easy access to complex, clean and professional shop
Positive experience: Had a great experience with my husband's haircut. Alain did a great job with his hair. Didn't have to wait long.. good vibes.. would recommend to others
Fantastic experience: The man himself, Barber Jack. gave me a fresh fade and delivered. highly recommend Jack.
Negative experience: Husband waited patiently for haircut and beard trim was polite and quiet to be given an apprentice with no guidance on how to perform her task no confidence shown in her work from her colleagues and the poor girl looked like she had been awake for 3 days bec was next to her taking her shaver and clearly not giving her any guidance making her more anxious about the task at hand also said her work would be checked over and was not. Tried to charge me 45$ I said make it round 50 and put my hat on left hubby with unevenly cut hair and beard he decided to go to Youssef where they insisted it was a free correction cut highly RECCOMEND Youssef awesome barber that care about there work
Fantastic experience: Have had various barbers there who have all given me a great cut. Is very well priced compared to other shops. Enjoy the vibe and music.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my boys cuts. Great work by the guys at Ola!
Positive experience: Great mate! Walk in, sit down, and wait, 30min. Great attitude, friendly atmosphere, great barber I will be recommending to others

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend you go there
Thanks mate! Looking forward to seeing you next time
Positive experience: Very very good. Nice people.
Thankyou Noelle, I'm glad you enjoyed your experience, looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Second time returning to Ola Barbers my son received another fresh fade which was taken care of by Tee. Even though there was some complications getting my son to sit still through the process and my son also making a mess. Tee remained calm and got the job done. Whole team is kid friendly professional and passionate in what they do. you want a fresh cut for a affordable price check Olas out they got you covered. There’s a reason why they have been around since 2013. I will definitely be going back again for my sons 3rd haircut.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic barbers been going there since they opened
Fantastic experience: Best in the industry! If you're looking for the most tending style this barber shop does it! Fantastic customer service, hubby will be back.
Negative experience: I’ve had great cuts there before but today was ignored. Please take LADIES. And SENIORS off your door if no one wants to cut an older ladies hair. Taking 2 people who arrived after me instead of me says to me I don’t want to cut your hair. Won’t be back
Fantastic experience: Nice and clean barbershop. Left with a sweet faded haircut (45$, man).
Fantastic experience: Great cuts and service!
Thank you Dorothy
Negative experience: Usually have a lovely experience here but left with the worst haircut imaginable this time. Asked for a simple trim and got a haircut resembling an uneven horse's mane. If you want a half decent haircut from these guys avoid the bigger guys and stick to the shorter fella with the beard. Quite disappointed and can't say we'll be back anytime soon. *Also noticed that they respond to negative reviews in a unprofessional and inappropriate way rather than admitting that they did the wrong thing*
Good Morning,
We don’t respond to negative reviews in a unprofessional, we've had another competitor giving our business malicious reviews across all social media.

Negative experience: Ive been there a twice and both times didn't follow what I wanted and both times used no shaving foam or hot towels after cutthroat shave. Afterwards I now have razor burn and cuts on my neck never going back. Staff were also rude and would not give me any space all standing around me scolding me. I definitely felt rushed and just a number a few dollars, by the this isn't a fake review so don't try to claim that

FAKE REVIEW.
For everyone that reading this review and the one before. Unfortunately we been getting attacked by another immoral and failed barber shop operator that attacked us on facebook before from various different fake accounts and now on google.

Have a good night and hope you get the help you need.
