    I have been 3 times and had the opportunity to have Tiffany all 3 times. She is great at what she does and I am happy everytime I go! Thank you to all the staff and especially to Tiffany for making this old man look great!

    So after need a cut for a long time, I thought I'd check out this new shop (new to me) and the reviews are right this morning. Great atmosphere, friendly staff who enjoy what they do. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in as I was just expecting a cut and instead got a wash, shampoo, straight razor shave (which is the best feeling) and a great cut. I had asked Tiffany to cut it short that I just was looking to change it up and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

    This was a great haircut and the barber more of less got me exactly what I asked for. My only issue was that they seemed a little aggressive with their razor especially when they started the fade. I could immediately feel pain as they were scraping at my neck. I’ll be the first to admit they my skin can be sensitive to razor burn but this is beyond anything I have experienced at any other barber shop. Not only was I annoyed at the careless use of the sharp object on my neck, but the barber didn’t even mention it at all, as if I wouldn’t notice the very obvious scratches across the back of my neck. The part of my that likes the haircut wants to give them another chance but my still very tender neck makes me very hesitant. I suggest you either check the sharpness of your electric razors or have a chat with your employees about their technique because this experience was one I would not be keen to revisit. I’ve attached photos to demonstrate the severity of the cuts

    (Long review but worth it if you are viewing reviews) For my first time ever getting a hair cut done at this establishment I highly recommend this business for a number of reasons! Upon arrival I was greated at the front desk by an employee named Matt. He was kind and very personable: as i gave my information while briefly waiting for my appointment, him and I had a good conversation about novels and relating over the book I had just purchased moment before as I had just gone to a book store prior. He had also offered me a coffee in the mean time. As it was time for my appointment, Nikoletta the hair dresser was very friendly and extremely professional during the entire time I was there! During the haircut we spoke of our love for old historic buildings among other things and she had even given me a recommendation on a coffee shop situated in an old historic building in the area. During I was really impressed with the quality and professionalism in regards to the haircut while we bantered and had been very consistent with consulting on my opinion throughout. Everything from the hair cut to the straight razor clean up to my beard went without a hitch and at the end I was extremely happy with the result, so much so that I even asked even for her business card as I will be definitely going back as a returning customer. Disclaimer: I wasn't asked to write this review but based off my overall experience I made an effort to reaffirm both employees names so I could offer to write a review as I feel they deserve the recognition! Once again, very happy with the result and will definitely be going back!

    FRONTIER BARBERS & CO, hands down, the best Barbershop downtown St. Catharines😀💇‍♂️. They are a full service barbershop with a great bar offering cocktails, 15 niagara region beers, and excellent whiskey's +. My hair was messed up by another barbershop on Bunting Rd but since Frontier fixed my hair, I will never go anywhere else. They are truly specialists in their art as my partner and I have 3c- 4c texture hair and we are always satisfied. Thanks Brittney. YES TO FRONTIER BARBERS!!!!

    Relaxing experience. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff! Great atmosphere and you can get a drink while you wait, or while you're getting your haircut.

  • 4/5 Foodie S. 4 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Niki is great! I'd give her a 5*, if this was just for her. Customer service at the front desk lacks sometimes. We've sat there waiting to order a drink, but never got asked/served. Their online booking system isn't the best, so I prefer to call.

  • 5/5 Asaf L. 4 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Took in my son to see Saul ( my mistake if I spelt it wrong). The vibe in the shop is real nice, customer service is exemplary. The added feature of a bar that can serve alcohol is great. Overall experience was phenomenal

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 month ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    I’ve been going to Frontier for several years now. The service is great and the whole team is very friendly. It’s a great atmosphere - come early for an espresso or cocktail, and stay for a hot towel treatment.

  • 5/5 Tyson W. 4 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    Very happy with the service I've received here (5x now). Brittney is a highly skilled barber who is very meticulous and always consistent. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Mathieu 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Brittney has built a great business here. Not only is she a great barber, but the location, atmosphere and rest of the staff are all fantastic. Strongly recommend Frontier Barbers.

  • 3/5 David S. 5 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I always leave this place looking great, but I can’t justify the expense anymore. I’m a (mostly) bald guy with a beard. I get a head buzz and a beard trim. Today, my head buzz took about 5 mins tops and cost $25. I was a bit late today (my bad) but still left early. Each service is billed as 30 mins, but I was only in the chair for a half hour total and it cost $60 plus tax and tip.

    I just moved to town and had my haircut by Ashleigh and it was amazing. Great knowledge of curly hair and cut it just right. I also had my beard trimmed, and it was perfect. Conversation was light and easy. I totally recommend this barbershop.

  • 5/5 Darren C. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Can’t say enough good things about the barbers here. I showed them a picture of the haircut I wanted and it came out perfect. The bar also adds a nice touch, as you can have a scotch or beer while you wait.

  • 5/5 Sean M. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome barbershop! Really cool atmosphere, and the staff were all very nice and friendly. Nikoletta was great, and she gave me the exact look I was going for. Will definitely be back :)

  • 3/5 Justin Andrew W. 1 year ago on Google
    The haircut was good, and i really liked the little scalp massage at the end. Would book ahead though. Not a fan of the bar, however. Book ahead though, they don't take walk inns.

  • 5/5 Jesse J. 11 months ago on Google
    Great and professional service. First time coming and had Brittney the owner do my hair and it turned out awesome. Thanks again !

  • 5/5 james f. 10 months ago on Google
    A great experience with Tiff. Made me look good feel/good for a job interview. I recommend and will return.

  • 5/5 Claudio M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the most pleasant surprise after scheduling my long-due haircut with Frontier Barbers. The shop is very modern and doesn't have all the cluttered deco barbershops usually have, being very simple and clean. There's a bar with loads of options of spirits and other drinks and the barbers are awesome! I left one hour later with that great impression that I had finally found a place that I can trust to get a great service. I was REALLY satisfied and impressed with the outcome of my beard, moustache and hair. I'll be a regular for sure.

  • 5/5 Bec B. 11 months ago on Google
    The online booking was super easy! I was greeted when I arrived. A nice up beat environment. I saw Ashleigh tonight and she was GREAT! She took her time to discuss the cut I wanted which is very appreciated. She gave me an excellent cut and lovely head massage.

  • 5/5 Ryan I. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic service, friendly faces all around. Brittney and Tiffany are both highly skilled hairdressers. Would recommend and I’ll be back again !

  • 2/5 Sadh (Gliding E. 1 year ago on Google
    I would not recommend this place due to pricing vs quality of service offered. I liked the customer service(frontdesk) and the online appointment system. The business model is for semi-high-end clients but the experience and atmosphere do not meet expectations. (I paid 33.90 for a level 1 barber). The hot towel and massage were extremely rushed; I would look to eliminate them and focus on providing a haircut instead. A good alternate is BlackBeard Barber who are just a few 100 meters they are quite busy and worth the wait.

  • 5/5 Kristina D. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently took my 11-year-old son to Frontier for a haircut and we had a fantastic experience. The stylist, Ashleigh, was professional, friendly, and patient with my son. She took the time to listen to his preferences and gave him a haircut that exceeded our expectations. The shop itself was clean and well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. My son felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. I was extremely impressed with Ashleigh's attention to detail and the care she took in giving my son the perfect haircut. She is truly a talented stylist and we will definitely be returning to Frontier in the future for her services. Might even have to have a drink at their cool bar!

  • 5/5 Paulo Mancha D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent. Tiffany provides me a perfect haircut every time! And all the staff is very polite and professional. Recommended!

  • 5/5 P V. 2 years ago on Google
    Just had the best hair cut from Nikki the hair dresser at Frontier. She is fantastic and so friendly. The owner was also behind the bar and really nice! Overall a fantastic experience!

  • 4/5 Adrian M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a super friendly place I always enjoy a wisky well my son get his hair cut we only lived in town for about 2 years now and so far this place is at the top of the list...cost wise is always the same as others maybe alittle more maybe a little less depending on where you go !! Its always the first place I call to get cleaned up. The hot towel feels good after the cut !!

  • 5/5 Nathan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Ive been looking for a barber that can cut my hair the way i like it and nikoletta did just that, ill definitely be back

  • 4/5 Shane T. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great spot. All the Turner boys go here for their haircuts.

  • 5/5 Douglas D. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place - I've been going for a couple of years now and love it. Matt and Brittney (owners) are incredibly friendly and Brittney has been cutting my hair from the start. The music is always excellent, the choice of drinks exhaustive and the services top notch!

  • 5/5 Levin J. 2 years ago on Google
    Got a great haircut and beard trim from Ashleigh. She was great at figuring out what look I wanted. The entire establishment is really nice and welcoming. They have the option to get a drink while you are there as well. All for a very reasonable price.

  • 5/5 Nicholas D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great first go at this place. Too bad they didn't have lemon or cloves when I was there.

  • 1/5 Dapo B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very bad overall experience due to a very incompetent and old female barber that did not know how to do my hairstyle/hairtype; yet she insisted she did. At the end of my haircut she confessed saying "to be honest, I struggled with it". For example, during my haircut, her and another level one barber were asing me how my haistyle worked and what they should do next. They made me feel like I did not belong. Not to mention they rushed my haircut to accomodate for another guy that had walked in even though it was just me in the store. I was very consious and embarrased of my hair over several months(really). Went to another barber in downtown and the barber took time with me; I was far much impressed with his work and his shop is just about a minute walk away. Explore your options before commiting to get your hair done here.

  • 5/5 Puneeth S. 2 years ago on Google
    Just had a beard cut and it looks amazing. The service is amazing and would highly recommend anyone to check out this place. The downside it is very expensive for a beard cut but the final product is worth out.

  • 5/5 Julia C. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped here for a drink on the Niagara Food Tour and really enjoyed ourselves. The drink was great too!

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tiffany is the best!!!!! She does such a great job. Whatever it is, haircut to beard trim, you will be happy. She goes beyond and you leave feeling fresh. Like spring time fresh! Her smile and joy brings such a great atmosphere too. Very down to earth, she’s like a rock n roll star giving you the best haircut ever. 🔥 Go see her, you won’t be disappointed. ✂️💈✂️

  • 5/5 adam s. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to this barber for the first time today. Super clean, and professional, really just a great place to be. I had Brittney , she was very personable and took the extra time to make sure I was happy with my cut. The high level of skill and service you get for the price is astounding.

  • 4/5 Scott C. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting concept, with a fully stocked bar as part of the service. I had a beer before my haircut, but wasn’t able to finish it before the cut. My barber was Carli, who did a fine job on my hair. The atmosphere inside is upbeat, modern and chic (for a barbershop), and the staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable.

  • 5/5 Andrew H. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been looking for a barber in the Niagara Region that had everything I was looking for. Frontier absolutely does! Amazing hair cut, brilliant service, and a wonderful scotch list! Solid combination. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Katie M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is great! Tiffany does a great job on both my sons and husbands hair. She's wonderful with our toddlers and very patient with them. They always look great!

  • 5/5 Paul B. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok. Firstly what’s not to like about a licensed barbershop? Great concept so kudos on that. Welcoming staff from arrival to departure. Great atmosphere. (Did I mention they are licensed. Civilization.) Got a great cut from Tiffany (trust me she knows what she’s doing) as well as good conversation. How do I know she knows what she’s doing? After the cut she trimmed my eyebrows before I had a chance to ask. Game on! Couldn’t be happier. As a recent recruit to the area and looking for a new barber they had me from the moment I walked in the door. Stayed for a drink and had a great conversation with both the girl tending bar and the owner. If I had a bone to pick it would be the minuscule amount of space devoted to product. Missing out on a great opportunity here. How do I know? I worked in the industry at a private club for several years. That said I would definitely recommend them for the experience. I know I’ll definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Classy place ran by classy people. Incredible staff. Ashleigh is my go-to but you'll be satisfied with any member of the Frontier team. Terrific beer and drink selection, including a very enjoyable house craft. My only complaint is that my hair doesn't grow fast enough to visit more often.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Niki is a wonderful hairstylist. Very focused on her clients and skilled in her craft. Frontier Barbers and Company is an inviting place to visit and be pampered!

  • 1/5 KRISHNA L. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I had haircut with Level 1 barber horrible experience really rushed with hair cutting hot towel massage. Doesn’t understands the requirements what I really wanted even after showing photograph. Did not even blend the fade properly. Wont recommend that barber again.
