Fantastic experience: "I had an excellent experience at Willow Road Barbershop with Master Barber Tharun. I went in for a mullet, and he delivered it perfectly.

Fantastic experience: These guys are great at what they do, and they’re super friendly. For both an enjoyable experience and a highly satisfying end result, this is the barber shop to go to.

Fantastic experience: There are few businesses in Guelph that you want to see grow because of their quality of service, and this is one of them. I only write reviews when I genuinely feel that the service they offer should be known to more people in our beloved city. Well, the barber, Tarun has got skills! He really personalizes the style according to each individual’s hair type and preference. He does not rush and takes the time to ensure you leave with the best hairstyle you imagined. Price is very reasonable. Kudos!

Fantastic experience: Best hair cut for the best price in town. Takes their time, and very good at what they do. I have been going here for years and have never had an issue.

Fantastic experience: They have really good customer service, I also absolutely loved the haircut He did a really nice job.overall I’m rly happy with them

Fantastic experience: Don’t let a $30 cash fade fool you. The haircuts I get here are better than $50 cuts I got at other barber shops. Do yourself a favour and come early, sit down have a coffee and ease into the old school barber shop charm. By walk in only, but well worth the wait. I would highly recommended coming here. Everyone is very friendly and will remember your previous cuts. The wait is short and the cuts are under 20 minutes.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience today with my son, Gigi. This barber shop usually closes for long weekends and Tarun kept it open, working by himself, was amazing with not just my son and I, but all incoming customers. His patience and eye for detail are implacable and it's the best hair cut I've received since moving to Guelph. I highly recommend this barber shop.

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend this salon for best haircut. One of the best haircut services I got in Guelph. Very friendly and professional environment and staff as well as fairly priced.

Fantastic experience: Popped in at 6 on a Wednesday, they were just finishing up with another customer. Riccardo gave me exactly the nice trim I was looking for, was happy to cut a little shorter when asked, took 10 seconds to trim the manic brows, much appreciated. Was out in about 20 minutes after some good conversation feeling as good as I looked. Price was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Best barber shop in town I have ever been to. Great atmosphere, Riccardo and Tarun make u feel like if you were their customers for years, and I've been here a handful of times and will continue to keep going. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in town hands down!! These guys are very skilled and make you feel at home. Plenty of parking, low price in town, best service, great conversations. Please visit these guys if you need the best haircut.

Fantastic experience: Overall great barbershop. Tarun is an excellent barber. He tapered my hair with scissors and blended everything with layers perfectly. Nothing was rushed and also styled my hair after the haircut. This was the best experience at a barber shop I’ve ever had.

Fantastic experience: Both the barbers are great. I got my cut from Tarun and he is very professional with his work. They are super professional and give good advice. The place is very neat as well. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Have been looking for a great barber in Guelph for a while. These guys are great, friendly, and Tarun gave me the best haircut I have had in a while. Warm atmosphere and amazing people.

Fantastic experience: I can't believe I've never been here after spending so much time in Guelph. Definite 10/10. I often don't plan to get a cut, I just go get one when I have time. Most shops are busy when I call, so I can't get in and my hair grows longer than I'd like. Not anymore! This is my new spot. There is a reason this barbershop has been operating longer than any other in Guelph. You just go there and get your hair cut, simple as that. You can't go wrong, the barbers here are talented. As others have mentioned, the prices are more than fair. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, you won't regret it. Thank you Ricardo and Tarun, I enjoyed shooting the breeze with you guys during my cut last week!

Fantastic experience: I was in for my first time today , new to Guelph. i seen Ricardo , awesome guy made me feel very welcome. From someone in this trade i have to say this is the best hair cut i have had in 10 years . Thanks Ricardo i will be back .

Fantastic experience: I called last minute to get a fade and beard trim and they took me in, no problem. The guys were super friendly and my barber was Tarun, and honestly, the best barber I've had to date. I'm particular with my beard and he fixed it up for me and his decade + years of experience really showed. Highly recommend these guys and will be my go to spot from now on.

Fantastic experience: Lets start this review with im a mechanic who rarely gets done up, most of the time I cut my own hair, but for my best friends wedding I knew I needed a good cleanup of my hair and beard. I went to Willow Road Barber shop not really being sure what to expect, but from the second I walked in the front door I felt welcomed and comfortable! My barber did a great job trimming my mess of an afro into a fresh looking cut! At the end of it all the price blew me away! Keep up the good work! I couldnt recommend this barber shop any more!

Fantastic experience: Before covid, I used to go to another barber shop in town, after a few home cuts I decided to try out a new barbershop and popped in here. I'm glad I did. Riccardo and his barbers are always friendly and willing to talk about whatever interests you. My son has always been nervous about getting his hair cut but, he loves coming here. The barbers treat him well and take the time to let him get comfortable with the clippers, scissors etc... Great family barbershop and a great hair cuts. All barbers are small business owners so if you're happy with your hair cut - don't forget to tip your barber!

Fantastic experience: Best & oldest barbershop in town, ample parking, great service, 30+ years of experience. TC is really skilled and passionate at what he does. I would go to him any day for my hair cut. He knows exactly what I need…!

Fantastic experience: I was here years ago with a different barber, and after i had multiple cuts on my ears. I had never returned. But the first choice hair cutters up the road shut down in the summer, so i have been looking for a new barber, and i looked at willow road barber again because its across the road from me, and the reviews were all positive, and mentioned a new barber there, Tarun. I went on a monday around 4pm, and there was no customers so right into the chair. Hair cut was great, i never know what i want with hair cuts but he knew. Exactly what i was looking for, and Tarun is a great barber. 25$ for mens cut. I will be returning here again.

Fantastic experience: Great place to have a haircut. The hairdresser Tarun (TC) was highly skillful and professional. I am so happy and satisfied with his service and the result of my haircut. He just knows exactly what to do with my hair and the way I like it. Highly recommended! Will be back to this location for sure.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Willow's salon and barber. The ambiance is great, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Tarun gave me an excellent haircut at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this place for a fantastic grooming experience that won't break the bank.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Tarun to anyone in search of a top-notch barber experience. Whether you're looking for a classic haircut or a more adventurous style, Tarun's talent and dedication to his craft will leave you impressed. I will undoubtedly be returning to him for all my future hair grooming needs.

Fantastic experience: All around awesome. Friendly guys, amazing haircut. They're prices are barely more than great clips/first choice but you get 10x the quality. Only place I'm going from now on. Tarun gave me my cut and did an awesome job.

Fantastic experience: Just recently had my hair cut and beard trimmed by Tarun and he did a fantastic job. Gave me advice on how I can keep my beard looking great until I need to come back for another trim. Ive also had both Riccardo and Zoltan from previous visits and I’ve never been disappointed. Bravo to all three gentlemen for great service!

Fantastic experience: I have tried a couple of barber around town, but Zoltan is my personal best barber in town. He does spend the time to understand what you want and take his time to bring the cut and shade to perfection. Have been cutting with him and bringing my son for 5 years now.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly staff. My kid loved the haircut. It was exactly the style he showed to Ricky. Above all, it is a traditional barbershop.

Fantastic experience: I recently had my hair cut by T.C. and he did an amazing job. Probably one of the best hair cuts I have received in Guelph. He will be my new go to guy! Thanks T.C. If you are in the market for a new barber I highly recommend T.C.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here since 2016, have had great haircuts from all of the barbers. My latest haircut by their newest member, Tarun, is suave as heck. These guys are great at what they do, always efficient no matter what time I stop by, and always provide great conversation.

Fantastic experience: I really like the atmosphere there. The staff are so friendly. They got some of the best barbers in Guelph. The new barber Tarun is really good. You tell him what style you want, and he gets that done for you. I really recommend this shop.

Fantastic experience: My son loves coming here the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The new barber Tarun did such an amazing job on his haircut. Will definitely be his go to place for haircuts!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for years. Always a great atmosphere, good conversations and never a disappointment. First cut by the newest addition Tarun and I must say, a great choice for the team. You can tell when someone is passionate about their work. Thank you Tarun for one of the best cuts! Be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Just had an amazing experience at willow barbershop with the newest barber Tarun. Best haircut and beard trim ever, will be a regular client for life!! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: Great cuts, great conversation, great price. I came here for a random walk-in cut, but I will be back regularly going forward. If you like good banter during your haircut, both with you and other patrons, you'll enjoy it here. If you like a silent snip snip, don't come here haha! Good location too, very central and accessible.

Fantastic experience: Awesome haircut at an affordable price. Riccardo was a fantastic conversationalist and an even better barber! Will definitely be giving them my business again.

Fantastic experience: Great service, friendly barbers and even a few laughs, all for a reasonable price. Ricky definitely knows how to maintain a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. Compliments to Zoltan for a quick and clean shave!

Fantastic experience: Very professional and good people. Zoltan is a master barber and very precise with his work, great for my short haircut and great with kids as well. Fair price and great value for the work they do. Prices are posted when you come in the door... i don't know why people try to negotiate the cost of a haircut... respect their work/profession and don't haggle the cost, especially when younger kids are around. Everyone be kind! great small business! thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Listen I haven't gotten a haircut in over 5 years from a barber and this place made me realize how much a barber can take care of you. Ricardo and his clients make you feel at home. They take their time and professionally take care of you.

Fantastic experience: I got my hair cut here for my wedding and Ricardo did an awesome job! He made me feel comfortable and was very personable. He even offered to style it for on the day. Great place

Fantastic experience: Jordan has cut my Hair multiple times now and does a phenomenal job every time I’ve been in! I recommend both these guy to anyone looking to get a great haircut with no bs. These guys are professional and very down to earth as well. Best Barber shop in Guelph!

Fantastic experience: I went to Willow Road just over a week ago now and got a haircut form Riccardo. It is the best haircut I have had in over 2 years (Covid and pre covid). I would highly recommend Willow Road Barber Shop to anyone. Great value for fantastic barbers who are extremely skilled and personable. I will definately be back!

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a haircut in Guelph. Jordan is awesome at what he does; professional and very personable, best haircut I have had in a while!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here. Riccardo is a great barber, easy to talk to and he quickly and easily knew exactly what I wanted. I am planning to make this my regular barber shop!

Fantastic experience: These guys know what they are doing and were a huge help in getting me squared away for my engagement photos. Super personable, reliable and consistent start to finish, definitely a smart decision to see these guys instead of your standard box chain hairdressers. And definitely way easier than attempting it myself like i have been.
