Fantastic experience: First time going there. Have had a hard time finding a good barber since coming back to NL, but would highly recommend Zohair at the Churchill Sq location! Very relaxed environment, got me in without an appointment and gave me the best haircut I’ve had in years. Would highly recommend and will be back again!

Tavish Mason Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: had an amazing experience with Ahmed! He’s one of those barbers who really takes pride in his work — detail-oriented, professional, and genuinely cares about making you look your best. He took the time to ask how I wanted my cut, offered great suggestions, and absolutely nailed the fade. The atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and welcoming.

Lucas Kennell Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best shop in town! The atmosphere is always chill and welcoming, and every visit is a great experience. Jessica gave me a spot-on cut today, even though my hair is pretty stubborn. She was precise, attentive, and paid close attention to the smallest details. I absolutely love how it turned out!

Fantastic experience: Roger, hooked / built me up (in mins)...and sweet retro board: with new wheels, bearings and mount. Stoked to still be skateboarding at 60; and in beautiful St. John's, Newfoundland. Big thnx to Roger and Fogtown...to get me back on a board.

Fantastic experience: Great cut from Jessica!

Chris Hahn Published on Google 10 months ago

Positive experience: Fogtown is great, they generally deliver a good cut and offer all the trimming of a modern barbershop like razor shaves and touchups. The ambiance is modern and masculine and the shop is always well kept and clean. The location is also super convenient and they can often accommodate walk-ins which is great for last minute procrastinators like myself. The only downside to the service is it has become prohibitively expensive and often a shave and cut can run you between sixty and seventy dollars. Aside from the price this is a great spot and you can trust the staff to make you look a million times better leaving than you did walking in.

Axel Mastache Published on Google 10 months ago

Negative experience: Im visiting St Johns for work and this was the closest barbershop. I went in to get a lineup and to have my undercut shaved and it was mediocre...this was 90$ CAD (with tip). I usually pay between 50-65$ (with tip) for this and its significantly better. I had to go back to my hotel to fix a few strays myself and Im still not thrilled about this. You know that whole choosing two out of "cheap, fast and good" thing? This was slow (about an hour) very expensive and very mediocre. I dont recommend this to anyone. The barber was cool, people are friendly but not 90$ friendly.

Fantastic experience: By far the best haircut you’ll ever get in St. John’s NL, Ayuoob gave a very professional high fade and beard trim, highly recommend checking out Ayuoob at fogtown downtown location

gregory Stacey Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: The fogtown location on Water Street is a great spot for a beard trim and is a standard that most local barbour shops strive for. Got a great trim and advice from Bryan.

The Doug Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had a haircut here a few weeks and without a hint of sarcasm, top 5 haircut I've been had. I made the mistake a few months prior chatting up a different barber and damn my boyish charm because she wouldn't stop talking, which meant she couldn't stop cutting. Far too much came off the top. Like, way too much. A comical amount. So this time, I decided to the opposite. Claire asked me how much off the top and I said "as little as possible" and that was it. 30 minutes later, zero talking and she absolutely nailed it. Big fan.

Aboud Younis Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Worst in town. Before finishing the cut, I asked him to fix a few things, but he just said, “Your time is up, I have another customer waiting.”

Mitch Cooper Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Visiting home for a week from Toronto and Nathan killed it on a mullet trim, said he's an apprentice but works like he's been at it for years. Hell of a job from a hell of a guy. Thanks again!

Navroz Kalkat Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Jovan is amazing

Jovan Gongora Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Had a fade cut done for me with trim on the top. Left with a fade cut that was not blended well and on different height levels on each side. The top cut was done very roughly, leaving an uneven bumpy profile and generally not finished. Had to go to another barber that day to fix the fade and top cut. Not looking to go back just to pay to have my hair done like that again.

Thomas Ferrand Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’m always hesitant to get my hair cut short, but decided to give it a shot with Jovanpreet. He was very attentive to details, put great effort in communication, and delivered in every aspect. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend 10/10

C Awas Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my haircuts from Jovanpreet, and I can confidently say he’s one of the best barbers out there. His attention to detail is unmatched, and he always takes the time to make sure the cut is exactly how I want it. Whether it’s a trim or fade, he nails it every time and goes above and beyond for me. On top of that, he’s super friendly and professional. Talented and has an eye for art and style. Jovanpreet is the guy to go to! Highly recommend!!!

Stephen Pike Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter is getting married in a few days and it was suggested that I should get a hot towel shave on the morning of the wedding. Anyone who knows me can appreciate that I am not all that concerned with my appearance, but for my daughter's wedding, I do want to look my best. Wanting to look sharp and never having had a professional shave before, I decided to book a test run a few days before the big day. After a quick Google search, I came across Fogtown Barbers, with locations on Water Street and in Churchill Square. Making the two bookings was quick and easy from their website, which matched me with a barber who offered hot towel shaves and was available on the morning of the wedding. My "test run" was this morning at 10:30 with Jessica Beiler. I arrived a few minutes early, and Jessica was ready for me promptly at 10:30. Having never experienced a hot towel shave before, I wasn't sure what to expect. Jessica started with a process hot towel which she carefully wrapped around my face and ever increasing closeness with every razor pass. It was incredibly soothing! The lather she used had a light, clean scent, and razor glided smoothly with each pass. Jessica was very attentive, checking in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable. The end result was the closest, smoothest shave I've ever had, and my face felt fantastic. The whole experience was an indulgence that was extremely relaxing. When it was finished I had the closest shave ever and felt great. If you're looking for a top-notch barber in St. John's, I highly recommend booking with Jessica at Fogtown. You won't be disappointed! Based on this initial experience, I can't think of a better way for me to start the day of my daughter's wedding. It undoubtedly will be a busy day with lots of emotions, so starting relaxed and refreshed with a hot towel shave from Fogtown sounds perfect.

Kyle Hennessey Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I booked in for a hair cut and beard trim with Serhii and left with a smile. Serhii was incredibly polite, friendly and takes great care with his work. I was incredibly happy with the service and left feeling like a million bucks!

lloyd banfield Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First-time customer. Booked with Bryan for a cut and a beard trim. Everything about the session was top shelf, from the laid back vibe of the shop to the warm greeting upon arrival, to the friendly/familiar but also super-professional way the services were executed by Bryan. Not cheap, but value for money hands down. As good as the barbering is, this place also captures the charm of the city. If you have a hard time trying to explain to someone the core feel of downtown ‘SinJohns’, just tell them to go to in for a clip. They’ll get it! Super happy with the service. I’ll be back, and will recommend to others. Deadly job!

Fantastic experience: I like trying new barbershops when I visit new places so I decided to try Fogtown during my weekend trip to St. John's. I got a really clean and neat cut you'd expect from a skilled barber - mixed with a touch of salon quality from Jessica. My wife said this is the best cut she has seen all year, and I have to agree!

From the moment I walked into his shop, I was impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail.

Stephen Johnson Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Usually good haircuts and staff are all amazing. Only complaint is that it's often hard to get an appointment as they fill their slots fast and far in advance.

Michael Broz Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment at Fogtown yesterday with Serhii. He told me he is Ukrainian. As someone of Croatian descent whose family left Yugoslavia for political reasons, it was terrific that he was finding work that he seemed to enjoy. In terms of the haircut: best haircut I've ever had (and I once got a $150 haircut as a present to myself, and it was not as good as Serhii’s, who only charges $32). I have a double crown which makes my hair very difficult to cut and manage. Serhii, through some barber black magic, cut my hair in a way to give the appearance of a single crown and all the hair laying in place (it’s almost always sticking up). And he is just a genuinely nice guy. Totally recommend. All the barbers there seem great, but I’ve only had a cut with Serhii. Still, clearly a fantastic barber shop and definitely where I’ll be taking my business from now on!

cameronrox Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gave me a sick haircut when I dropped in without a reservation. The place smells like success, and the haircut was even more successful.

Josh Styles Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: After bouncing around to a few different hair cutters and salons, after going to Fogtown, I’m only going there from now on. With other salons recently putting up all the prices of short / mens cuts, fogtown isn’t necessarily more expensive anymore plus it’s a WAY better experience. The cut is always super well done and that hot foam neck shave feels so nice! I typically book with Mackenzie and she is amazing! She’s so friendly and personable and always does a fantastic job. 5/5. Highly recommend.
