Barber Boys: Reviews
Negative experience: Wasn’t open at 10am despite opening time showing as 9am… very disappointed as I’d lugged my two little kids out in 38 degree heat to get a hair cut only to find it wasn’t even open..
Negative experience: If you love your hair then please dont go he made my hair as hell
Fantastic experience: Loved it. He was really nice. (And he knows his music!)
Fantastic experience: Great cut, pensioner price
Fantastic experience: Can not thank enough! Wen to a different barber and they stuffed my sons hair massively! Lucky enough they manage to fix my sons hair n were nice enuf ro do it for free! Will definitely be back n would highly recommend
Negative experience: TLDR: Worst haircut of my life! I don't get my haircut much anymore due to having little hair, but with a new job approaching and me having let my beard grow out (too long to shave with just a razor) I thought I would treat myself to a haircut, the simplest haircut, number 0 Buzz cut head and beard. How can you mess this up? Waited around for ages (this was somewhat expected, but only 1 customer ahead of me and it took about 30 mins to fully style his hair). Finally got in, guy took 10 mins, didn't shave my beard neck completely, No chit chat, which was the only positive and the sole reason for the 1 star on this review. The barber had someone they obviously knew floating around the shop (Waiting for a haircut? no idea, name was not on the board). Spent time chatting to him when doing my haircut. I got the feeling he was rushing with me, to get on to his 'mate'. Also cut my neck (with an electric razor!)...no mention of this or a simple sorry. (I'm not sure why but several barber boys shops in my area seem to have 'friends' come in and get special treatment or considerations. Its pretty obvious and shady as hell.) Overall cost $46. for a 10 min buzz cut. I mean, I probably wouldn't complain about the price if he had at least done a decent job, but it was terrible. Had to jump in the shower and use a razor to tidy the whole thing up. DO.NOT.RECOMMEND. *EDIT* just remembered...the barber I have been to in the city (not barber boys) has charged me $25 for the same treatment in the past and did a FAR superior job. *EDIT 2* See response below. To be fair I had previously (some time ago) had good haircuts from this location, presumably when it was under the direct management of Barber Boys.

Negative experience: Very disappointing and unprofessional service, never visit this racist place
Fantastic experience: Another great haircut, thanks
Fantastic experience: Great work by Thomas.
Fantastic experience: Tommy is the only barber that gets it right.
Fantastic experience: Thomas was an excellent barber who never fails to impress me! Since going to Barber Boys Hilton roughly 1 year ago, Thomas has shown his passion and skills and always pays attention to detail. His customer service, skills and enthusiasm is exceptional and I could not recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Honestly I thought the place was overpriced at first but it is worth every dollar. Thomas is best at his job and does the best skin fade with great detailing. I am not much of a chatter but he is friendly and breaks a conversation and suggests best products for your hair as well. Do give them a try.
Fantastic experience: Tom (Thomas) always gives the best cuts out. I refuse to go anywhere else, had bad experiences with other barbers but never with Tom. I'll always be back!
Fantastic experience: Tom is a pro at the skin fade!! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We had a Children's cut experience with Thomas today. He was exceptionally polite, interactive and detailed in the work he was doing. He took his time, attention to detail was second to none and the result put a huge smile on my Son's face. If you are in the Hilton Plaza or near by and need a haircut, you should definitely give Baber Boys a try! If you want an attention to detail and customer service experience ask for Thomas, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Thomas!
Fantastic experience: Tom was very professional and provided good service as well as great recommendations to go with my new cut
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, cut and advice Thank Thomas
Fantastic experience: Great cut and service from Thomas. Recommend
Fantastic experience: Chloe is the best, if she’s not in there, I’m not having a haircut!
Fantastic experience: Chloe is the only barber that can understand how to cut my hair… real talent
Fantastic experience: Got a fade from tom excellent service always knows how to give me the best fades in time for the weekend
Fantastic experience: Awesome work by Tom!
Fantastic experience: Standard cut. First time at a Barber Boys. Wasn’t really sure what I wanted other than short. Thomas was patient and helpful and did a great job. I’m happy
Fantastic experience: Great cut, great service
Fantastic experience: It doesnt take long in the chair to work out that Tom is a barber who has deep passion, interest and knowledge of his trade. He asked me how i wanted my haircut, and i replied "do what you think looks right for me". I can honestly say i got a one of the best haircuts i have had in years.thx Tom
Fantastic experience: First time going to Barber Boys. Tom was the barber who cut my hair and I can proudly say in the 3 years I have lived in Adelaide.. this is the best cut I've had yet. Thank you Tom.. walked out super happy today!
Fantastic experience: Although I was in need of a haircut, I wasn't planning on getting one tonight. But as I walked past The Barber Boys at Hilton on my way home from the shops, decided to go in to see what they were like. Thomas was friendly and welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the get go. As an older guy (without a lot of hair these days), I was dubious about how a young barber with a trendy cut could give me a haircut that would suit me and make me feel better about myself. But Thomas was exceptional. He listened to what I needed and went above and beyond to make sure that I not only looked and felt good about the end result, but demonstrated that he is passionate about his chosen career path. Thomas told me his story about how he came to become a barber and I have no doubt that he is on the right path. Great conversation, great service, great cut and great recommendations on products to use and how to style my hair. Thanks Thomas for a great customer experience and haircut. I'll be back!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for a while now for my routine hair cuts and occasional cut throat shave. Excellent service and quality hair cuts. My last one by Tom was fantastic! His attention to detail, friendliness and service is definitely worth coming back for. Cheers mate
Fantastic experience: My new favourite barber. Love the friendly staff, their professionalism and the prices. Definitely a return customer here.
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service - professionals
Fantastic experience: Had my haircut a couple of weeks ago (elsewhere) but didn’t turn out to be what I was looking for. I had seen great reviews on Maria and thought I’d give Barber Boy a shot and man those reviews are true! Would highly recommend:)
Fantastic experience: My son highly recommends Barber Boys. The female hairdresser there does an amazing job on my fussy son! Great staff Super friendly Wheelchair friendly Lollipop for the kids (and the big kids too!)
Fantastic experience: I always come to the Hilton Barber Boys hairdresser. Maria has always done my hair and I always feel very welcomed. She is warm and friendly and knows how to style my hair with a fade and trim my beard. I will always come back here as this is my local and are very well priced. Please pass this feedback to Maria. She always goes above and beyond is for me and is an asset to the company
Fantastic experience: Great customer service.
Negative experience: Sorry I've never been to Barber Boys. So don't put it up. Never even walked past it.
Fantastic experience: Maria is by far the best barber here! She is one of the very select few I let cut my hair.
Fantastic experience: Maria provided that Old School straight razor shave with absolute perfection. Highly recommended place to go for great service!
Fantastic experience: Maria was amazing. She gave me an amazing haircut and I had an entertaining conversation which kept things lively. Thank you so much!!! I will be back for sure
Fantastic experience: Dealt with my son who didn't want a haircut, the barber handled it well.
Fantastic experience: Maria has been cutting my hair for years. She makes me look good, which is not easy. Wherever she goes, I follow.
Positive experience: First couple of time were spot on by the young lad. Never written a review ever but was not happy with the rushed haircut, no care given. Would not recommend going if you get the female. Poor attitude. Very disappointed with the effort. Seem like she picks and chooses who's hair she puts effort into. I'll go back but I'll wait for young guy next time. Funny enough a guy waiting before me said I could cut line. Now I know why.
Fantastic experience: the Barber Girl at Barber boys is the best... friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: Just had a haircut here. Friendly service and good chat while getting a great cut. Staff are always friendly here
Positive experience: I haven't actually had hair cut here but I've watched lots men young and old as I sit in cafe nearby and they do good job some very modern different styles and classic ones too.
Negative experience: Welcome to the slowest barbers in the world. No appointment-barbers should be skilled enough to be much faster, as you aren’t washing hair nor having to manage an appointment book. Each cut took 30-40 minutes! No shaves or special cuts, just regular cuts. The actual cuts are okay, but nothing worth waiting almost an hour for. The owner of the shop is a gun though, much faster and great styles. Either employ actual barbers, not hairdressers, or hire an extra staff member. (Especially stay away if the the female barber is there). Tip: try cracking a smile or having an energy about you. People pay good money and waste a lot of time waiting... so at least pretend to be happy.
Negative experience: Said please wait for 25 minutes, ended with waiting for more than 40 minutes.
Fantastic experience: Had an awesome hair cut from barber boys (Hilton). Indian lady does fantastic job, awalys satisfying having hair cut from her. Highly recommended.
Negative experience: Hair cuts are good but the management is terrible. They have three chairs, 1 barber and a mass of people waiting everytime I've tried to go in the last 2 months.
Negative experience: Made my hair total mess. the lady doing hair cut was rude and unprofessional. Visiting them will make your day nightmare.
