Fantastic experience: Sarah is my son’s barber. She is very friendly and always takes the time to carefully listen to both my son’s and my requests.

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

Tiffany & Cees van Arendonk Published on Google 8 months ago

Gary R Published on Google 9 months ago

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.

Mohammad Havaledar Published on Google 9 months ago

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!

Kyle Thiessen Published on Google 9 months ago

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: 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!

Olivia Sauer Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'm always very happy with my cut when I leave. It's so nice getting a fresh cut! All the Barber's are very nice, I get my haircut by Michelle. I do a 1 on the undercut and straight razor on back of the neck.

Adam George Published on Google 1 year ago

Kyle Barrer Published on Google 1 year ago

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: 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!!

Jordyn Tower Published on Google 2 years ago

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!!

Deep Singh Published on Google 2 years ago

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.

Steve Cutler Published on Google 2 years ago

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.

Mohd Waseem Uddin Published on Google 2 years ago

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

Nikhil K Narayanan Published on Google 2 years ago

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

Peter Traplin Published on Google 2 years ago

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.
