Fantastic experience: Excellent barber, started coming here after some bad cuts from expensive hair dressers and Michelle has been amazing. Always nails it. Tried a new cut today and I’m so happy with it. She gave me an incredibly cut in the style I wanted while adjusting it to work with my hair. Haven’t gotten cuts with anyone else but the other cuts I see look great and people look happy. 10/10 recommend this place
Fantastic experience: Having been coming here for a while, finding a great barber for my two boys was hard. We have been seeing Sarah, and we highly recommend her. I also had a straight razor shave, which was an amazing experience as well.

Fantastic experience: Sarah is absolutely lovely. She truly enjoys what she does and it shows in her work. The entire team is always happy and so welcoming. Highly Recommend.
Fantastic experience: I’m 65 years old and Gerrit is the best barber I’ve ever had. True professional. Never have to say a word. He remembers exactly how I want my hair cut every time.
Fantastic experience: Since moving here, I’ve tried a few barbershops, but honestly, I didn’t have great experiences. One didn’t even align the sides of my head, another didn’t bother changing the razor, and one quoted $29 when I booked but then charged $30. I know it’s just a dollar, but it’s about precision and respect. Freddy’s is on a whole different level. My barber was Sarah. She was ready for me the moment I arrived, listened carefully, and paid attention to every detail. She truly knows her craft and somehow understands what I want even better than I do. She’s skilled with both the trimmer and scissors, and she works in such an organized, clean, and professional way. Plus, she’s genuinely nice! Freddy’s is by far the best I’ve been to, and I would definitely recommend them. P.S. Ask Sarah for her recommendation on the best spot for a butter tart in the area!
Fantastic experience: Great barber shop that also sells some top notch product. Sarah’s been cutting my hair for years and always does a superb job!
Fantastic experience: Sarah did an awesome job and took great care after I decided to chop a lot of my hair off. Highly recommend this place as conversation is friendly and very clean setup
Fantastic experience: Lots of parking, knowledgeable staff, great prices. Great haircut!
Fantastic experience: Gerrit is terrific! Deftly skilled and a true gentleman.
Fantastic experience: Been going here for six months now and extremely happy I found it. Sarah is top notch and the shop itself combines that old school style with the best a modern place can offer. If you want a haircut or beard trim, you should definitely come here.

Fantastic experience: Great price, Sarah does fantastic work.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a haircut appointment with Gianluca, and I have to say—it was an outstanding experience! I’ve tried many places around town, but none come close to the level of precision and care I received here. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Gianluca truly understands his craft, delivering a haircut that exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for the best in town, this is the place to go! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I really like the ability to make my appointment on line and the follow up confirmation! This is a very nice “old time barber shop” with friendly staff!
Fantastic experience: I always get excited knowing the fact I'm visiting Gianluca at Freddy's. Not only are the haircuts crisp and flawless every time, but it's always great company and banter. Shout out to Freddy's barbershop and Gianluca!
Fantastic experience: Sarah S. is great! Very personable and listens to what style you want.
Fantastic experience: I appreciate nothing more than attention to detail and that's the above and beyond attention I receive from the Freddy's crew at all times. Never disappointed and that's why I'll be back every month, forever.

Fantastic experience: Gian Luca is the first barber I've ever had where I've liked my haircut the same day! Great and quality service at a fair price!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Gianluca for years and he always provides the best service with the best cuts! He definitely goes above and beyond for his customers!
Fantastic experience: Went in for a quick haircut, kind of an emergency and not only did Gianluca understand my situation, he really made an effort to help me out. Not that he can drop everything for everyone, but this time he really did. The haircut was not only even, it was styled in a way I never thought to myself and I must say I looked fantastic! I had compliments at the wedding I went to and everything. HIGHLY recommend the team here at Freddy’s. Kind, compassionate, understanding, INCREDIBLY talented and just a great vibe all around. I would give 6 stars if I could. Much love.
Fantastic experience: The place takes you back in time with quality everywhere. I really liked my haircut and the atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Michelle did absolutely amazing with my hair, and the atmosphere was so great.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Tina for another wonderful hair experience! Your expertise and client- centered support (focussing on what my hair needs are) is so appreciated! You are the best!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing 5/5 service at Freddy's. I have trust issues when it comes to finding a new barber but I definitely found the right one! I HIGHLY recommend going to Freddy's and asking for Sarah Stone. She has an awesome vibe, very skilled at her job and he is great with making conversation and making you feel incredibly comfortable. I enjoyed every minute of it. I will definitely be going back as soon as possible lol Thank you again Sarah! You are fricken awesome!!
Fantastic experience: My friend is getting married today & he took me & all his other groomsmen to Freddy’s for a cut. Sarah cut & styled my beard & hair; it all turned out great. Thank you guys!!
Positive experience: Booked my first cut in with Michelle. I wanted to wait a week or two to see how my hair grew out. Asked for a crew cut. Got a pixie cut instead..lol. Michelle was very nice to interact with, tho! The main thing for me was the owner yelling sarcastically "have a grrreat day!" Upon my departure while the door was closing being me. Only reason for three stars is because Michelle was super kind and did her best.
Fantastic experience: This is my 3rd cut at Freddy's with Gianluca and I have always been really happy with the cut, the service and the conversation. The shop has a very friendly atmosphere and is easy to book appointments. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Been going here for over 20 yrs and love it. I won the contest for $1.75 haircut on instagram so I had Sarah cut my hair and left her a nice tip! Hair was so long before and feel so much better now
Fantastic experience: Great service attention to detail and friendly genuine customer experience
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Freddys barber shop to anyone. I have been going to there for many years. You are always greeted with a smile and it has always been a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Michelle does an amazing job with super impressive results
Fantastic experience: I've been going here on and off since that 80s, always had a great experience. This is an old school barber without the superficial hipster marketing. Staff are friendly and professional.
Negative experience: I had a terrible experience at freddys with Gianluca as my barber since I wanted a haircut but it wasn't what I anticipated, and he cut my hair so horribly. Spoiled my hair style
Fantastic experience: Shop has nice vibe with great service. Got appoinment from website with Herman. He is a pro and gently worked through the mess. He got the style as described and gave a great cut if not better. Will be back for next time
Fantastic experience: Freddie's is the best barber shop around. I've been going there for my whole life. In fact I'm a third generation patron of Freddie's because it's that good. Everyone is extremely friendly and will treat you line dear friends. All the barbers are excellent at what they do so it doesn't matter who's cutting your hair. You know they will do a good job. Freddie's is also really well priced so you can save some money on haircuts. Better yet you could leave a bigger tip for all the hard working barbers. I highly recommend Freddie's and I can prove it because I'm a third generation patron.
Fantastic experience: Started coming here last year and still coming here! Great place with great people.
Positive experience: Nice but could do better customization for men’s haircuts
Fantastic experience: Saw Michelle today and left with the best haircut I can remember ever having!

Fantastic experience: This place has some of the friendliest barbers in Guelph. Their haircuts are reasonably priced and they were very accommodating to customer requests. Definitely going to come back again!
Fantastic experience: Great place for haircuts I have been getting my haircut for over 30 years. Now my kids are going
Fantastic experience: I booked a late appointment. Lucky I was able to get an appointment. Michelle did a good job I couldn’t complain. She listen to my requests. I think there was a bit of a rush at the end but all good because I booked it last minute.Couldn’t complain.
Fantastic experience: Michelle cleaned up my McCartney moptop in time for Christmas 11/10 would get a skin fade again
Fantastic experience: A friendly atmosphere and great professional service. Recommended
