Pero's Barber Shop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff and great pricing.
Negative experience: Have had great haircuts in the past from the young guy but last time i had the middle aged short guy who decided to judge me hard when i told him the previous haircut i had done, He turned to the lady with coloured hair and i saw her roll her eyes. I was a regular customer until this experience, plenty of other barbers around.
Fantastic experience: I got my young fella the best hair cut. Great service and prices. And he got hit on by a Sheila straight after his haircut
Fantastic experience: Great barber Great price
Negative experience: The lady in there cut my hair It's alright she just needs to work on her lines the back isn't straight
Negative experience: Highly don’t not recommend the female staff is very rude, and doesn’t do a good job her attention is outside the doors, very unhappy with my haircut, for 32 dollars should have gone somewhere else
Negative experience: Appalling service from female. Regularly come here for our little mans haircut and have always had impeccable service from the men. This woman was extremely sarcastic when asked about getting my son a fade haircut. Replied if you are fussy then this isnt the place for you. Was rude to my son when he hopped on the chair. He was very upset and uncomfortable. Ended up removing him from chair and walked out. Disgusting.
Fantastic experience: Pretty sure these guys have listened to every story imaginable. The team does a great job. My boy loves going for a haircut.
Fantastic experience: Great pricing and good cut.
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience. Having been getting my hair cut here for the passed 8 or so many years now. Always good results and well priced.
Fantastic experience: With the car in for a service, decided to head into Pero's for a hair and beard trim. Great banter, personable barber, did a solid job doing the exact cut I asked for. (I had been sporting the "mountain man" look for months). Happy with the result, will be back next month
Fantastic experience: Awesome place and people. Perfect place to take the kids aswell
Negative experience: utter rubbish , barber wasnt paying attention , did the fastest haircut i ever had and spent the whole time talking pretty loud to another seated customer , he totally ignored me , heres a tip for all you barbers , either talk to the guys hair you are cutting or shut up , its a pretty easy choice , my wife had to fix the haircut when i get home
Fantastic experience: Did the job properly with a nice quiet well kept shop.
Negative experience: Haircuts are very expensive here, even for a very basic child's haircut. Staff are not at all friendly. The older man (owner?) especially.
Negative experience: 5 stars for hair cutting ability. 0 stars for swearing at teenage customer
Fantastic experience: Always good service here. Always happy with the haircut they do for me. I have been coming here for many years. Told someone new to Hamilton, he went for a haircut, and was very happy about the service and haircut.
Fantastic experience: My grandson had his first haircut here . The lady hairdresser was absolutely fantastic, talked to him told him what was happening made him feel special and grown up Listened to how I wanted his hair , did a really good cut making sure I was happy with it. This was 3 years ago and my grandson goes to her still regularly and totally looks forward to seeing his lady hairdresser every time !! Totally worth every penny !! Recommend any young man needing his first cut or any cut if you want quality . Also a big bonus was she was happy as for me to take photos and video as we do❤️
Negative experience: Not a place to go to. Never give you what you want only give what they feel is best for you there haircuts are to quick for my liking which makes me feel like it’s a half pie job that was done quick. Never going back again
Negative experience: Shocking quality for such a basic (No.4 all over) cut. Sideburns didn’t get trimmed and around the ears not shaped. Tufts of hair remained… I asked the young man to spend a bit more time to tidy up what had been done, which was attempted… but still not the quality I had expected from Pero’s.
Positive experience: Awesome job every time.
Fantastic experience: Always had good service
Positive experience: Great haircut and good value
Fantastic experience: Great service, great price and best talk
Negative experience: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE - THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO NOT COME HERE!!!! Can't believe people are still coming here after all the bad reviews.... Please run don't walk!!!! I wasted my money on 3 horrible haircuts and poor service for my boys and don't want you to suffer the same mistake.... AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!
Negative experience: I asked for an undercut. Bro rolled his eyes and gave me the jankiest bowl cut I've ever seen. I could have done a better and more even job myself with the kitchen scissors. Ended up shaving my head, it was that bad!
Negative experience: Awful
Negative experience: Awful service from all staff working in store today. They were grumpy and rude, terrible with kids who were nervous to be having their haircut. Didn’t even attempt to hide their bad attitudes.
Negative experience: Shocking reception this morning just before 9am. I walked into Pero's and no one was visible in the shop. I said "hello" and a guy appeared from behind the corner. Thinking the shop may not have been open I asked if the shop was open. The guy pointed at the door and said "What do you think"? I was a bit taken back but thought he was joking so I tried to explain that I thought I may have been early and perhaps caught him trying to prepare to open up. He then said you can see the door is open and the flag is outside. Thats when I realized he was being serious. I picked up my coat and said forget this. He then said you ask stupid questions. I have been to Pero's on numerous occasions for myself and with my son and had pleasant experiences. Pity one chap acting badly has caused me to take the time out of my day to post this but if I was the owner and other potential customers, I would want to know.
Negative experience: The lady here is so rude. Terrible attitude! She shouldn’t be there if she doesn’t like her job
Negative experience: Assuming the little fella owns the joint !!! Papa Smurf has a terrible attitude ! customer service is shocking from the time I walked in until I left !!! Other barbers out there who deserve your money !! Avoid !! Avoid !!
Fantastic experience: Awesome barber. In and out under 15 mins
Fantastic experience: Lovely experiance. I had a tall guy (brown hair with a short ponytail) who did a lovely job and made sure i was happy with what he was doing. Will come again
Fantastic experience: Just love going to this Place. Love chatting to the staff. See you next time. Thanks Paul
Negative experience: Went for a buzz cut, the lady did my hair didn’t even care about the details just trim all the hair and tell me it’s done, I didn’t even sit down for 5 minutes, I asked her could you please tidy up the side abit, she said oh I don’t do that. I went home wash my hair and see my hair is so unevenly trimmed. Worst haircut experience ever. Highly not recommend this barber shop, not even worthy for $22.
Fantastic experience: My weekly trim is always a pleasure from the team at Peros. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Great service, great haircut .
Negative experience: Horrible experience. Short guy (owner or manager) was grumpy, didn’t listen and cut my hair miles too short on top after I specifically said (and showed him) just a tiny but off the top. Lazy, used the razor instead of scissors for the top trim which lead to a much shorter cut cause he just didnt give a F. Ive been here several times just due to convenience and every time he doesnt listen and cuts way too short. Thought id give it one last try, safe to say that was definitely the last try.
Fantastic experience: As always we'll done
Positive experience: Great service great friendly Staff.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, friendly and fast
Negative experience: Dont even bother going in. I should have read the reviews first before even stepping foot in there. How are they even still operating? Zero greetings. Zero smiles. Zero customer service. Should of walked out but lucky my son was desperate for a haircut because he has school tomorrow. Otherwise we would have went elsewhere. The lady with the purple hair needs to learn how to smile when customers walk through the door, or maybe get a new job where no one has to see her face. She just stared us when we walked in...And continued sweeping the floor...rude... Didnt even say anything...wasnt welcoming at all. Wont be going back!!
Negative experience: Worst ever customer experience with my 5 year old. The lady was soo freaking rude and doesn’t know any customer service. My boy started crying halfway. Never ever coming back to this place.
Positive experience: Not the best haircut ive had
Negative experience: Looks like things have gone backwards here over the years based on the lack of service and response when I walked in. I came here when it first opened and was quite different with good service. Looking at other recent reviews it seems to be trending here. Shame.
Fantastic experience: AWESOME
Fantastic experience: Great barbers, friendly team!
Fantastic experience: Fastest cut I've had since moving to Hamilton. Finally somewhere I can go too on a regular.
Fantastic experience: Always a great haircut
Negative experience: Dont come here. Paid $35 didnt even do a nice job. I wanted box and skin fade. The lady said she cant do Box. Worst barbershop ever. The lady was a bit rude as well.
Negative experience: Worst cut I’ve ever had. Very unfriendly barber. Didn’t listen to me at all. absolutely horrible.
Negative experience: My 2 boys went in for a haircut at Pareos barber at the base, and both haircuts are not what they asked for, they wanted a zero to one box fade, the lady said she didn't know how to box fade so the guy said they will only do a number 2 fade! What they got isn't even a fade! The lady was very rude to my son's telling them to hurry up. These boys are 13, they didn't get what they asked they still charged $25 they walked out with botched haircuts! highly would not recommend this place at all! If we didn't live so far away and was there at the time I would go back and get my boys hard earned money back!
Negative experience: The rudest and most un-professional Barber I’ve ever met. Also by far the worst hair cut my little boy got! I made the call not to get my hair cut, as I have no intention to support business like this.
Fantastic experience: Very good place to get a Haircut. Reliable, fast and overall a Great Service.
Fantastic experience: Ive visited twice now, and find it a relaxing moment in time... good friendly banter, and genuinely nice people... It was nice to hear - how we evolve, to take an opportunity, and become what we least expect... Ive decided they, are my "besties"¹...
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to get your hair done friendly staff and no style is to hard for them. Highly recommend
Positive experience: Good barber, nice hair cut, reasonable prices.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and knew what he was doing, cut my hair exactly how I asked and I was happy with it. The worker with the pony tail cut my hair, unfortunately I didn't get his name but would definitely recommend getting him
Fantastic experience: Great haircuts.
Fantastic experience: I left my style of cut up to them, they were spot on. Very happy with the result. Will be going back from now on.
Fantastic experience: Awesome service. Good banter. I have been coming here since my son's first haircut a few years ago.
Negative experience: I’m sorry but the two old men that cut hair, if you can’t keep up with time and adapt to new styles you need a new career. Be straight up if you can’t do the style the customer request then don’t do it!! Don’t try wing it and do something totally different and expect people to just accept it!! Shocking service DO NOT GO HERE
Fantastic experience: Love supporting local. Not just for the guys, give them a go for anyones trim.
Negative experience: Wasn't happy with the service over priced an the female barber there was very pushy I definitely will not be back
Fantastic experience: Awesome

Fantastic experience: Excellent haircut for over 20 years
Positive experience: Good
Negative experience: Over priced for what they did. They didn't really tidy up the hair well. Although they were nice.
Negative experience: Absolutely appalling service, terrible cut. Asked for a fade and did not get a fade, asked for a comb over and the parting was crooked, unevenly cut around the sides also. The comb over was unevenly shortened leaving my sons hair noticeably crooked and leaving him ashamed now he wears a hood to cover it up. Would NOT recommend this "barber".

Fantastic experience: Hubby always goes there for his haircuts even though he lives in Melville. Best haircuts and friendly service, quite reasonably priced too.
Negative experience: Very terrible young man cut my partners hair asked for box and zero fade he did not fade, done 2 all over an left patches,box was soo terrible he done it uneven hairline and too far back he was also very arrogant I highly recommend you don not come here trust me
Fantastic experience: First time I have used Pero's. Got the hair cut i asked for and good conversation. Nuff said
Negative experience: Been a few times and usually the staff are good but today we came across a very rude and arrogant staff member who was very rough when combing my sons hair and didn’t listen to what we asked for. For that reason we won’t be back.
Negative experience: Racist Barbers and unprofessional service. I have been there twice and second time I have been treated so badly that I just left without getting a haircut. Both time the barbers were different and both of them were so nice to white customers and as soon as my turn comes they became rude and making me feel I don't belong there. The barber finished with the first guy (he was a white guy), they were talking nicely to each other. Once finished, the barber didn't even bothered to clean the chair before calling me and his face expression was so clear that he just don't wanna cut my hair. I just wanted to get the side trimmed and not the top and the barber told me he won't tell me the price of haircut until he finishes it and I thought that's unfair, so I left and I could hear him swearing at me while telling the other employee about what happened. Maybe they should put a sign on FOR WHITE PEOPLE ONLY.
Fantastic experience: The best barbers in town
Negative experience: The barber was rude, rough with my hair. Seemed like he had never dealt with African hair. Worst fade ever, not even on the sides, not central as well. When I asked him to box it he pretty much did a Nike tick coz thats how straight it was. I had to go to my regular barber so she could FIX it. Felt very ripped off when I paid. Fair to say I'm not going back again.
Positive experience: Good haircut.Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Awsome service Won't go anywhere else
Fantastic experience: Great people good cuts
Fantastic experience: Hubby always happy after haircut.
Positive experience: Quick and easy
Fantastic experience: Nice friendly and fast service, good cuts (for beards too). Well recommended
Fantastic experience: James has built an amazing relationship with my autistic son over the years that we have been going there and is absolutely down to earth and he is amazing. There are no words to explain how awesome he is. Thanks James.
Fantastic experience: James is the best..... has great ideas and can work with customers to get the best for them
Positive experience: Magic been going there for years. Always cheerful and as well they do a number two all over real good.
Fantastic experience: Great barber
