Reviews of Fogtown Barber (Barber Shop)

Chris C

Give Colin a try! Great service

Sanuda Ranawake

Good quality haircuts at a baller place at an affordable price

Ash Douglas

What can I say? My barber, Hef, went right to it. Subtle small talk to start and all his attention then went straight toward his craft. I love my haircut and his professionalism has made my mind up to keep Fogtown as my permanent place to go for a haircut. Great job!

Dale Loder

Best barber shop on the avalon!

Chris Dooley

Best barbershop in town.

Matthew James

Dropped in randomly for a quick beard trim and the guys were great. Good people, good atmosphere and great shave! Also picked up a shirt from the store around the corner, looks great.

Tim Scott

Best spot in town

Daniel Burke

Chris Evans has been my barber for over 5 years now and I am very happy to visit Fogtown every month to catch up with the Fogtown Crew. My father's barber chair has been resurrected and restored at the shop so that their clients can get that authentic old school barber shop feel when they sit down for a fresh cut and a hot shave. Chris and Mackenzie have been courageous entrepreneurs and their hard work, determination, skills and risks have certainly made an impact on their business' success. Fogtown is more than a barber shop, it's a brand and a huge part of our culture. Catch a fresh cut from them, and you'll never want another barber! Thanks for keepin' it real, and keepin' it local... See you this Saturday :) #feelslikeanewman

Daniel Collins

Great guys, great service!

Sean Philpott

Simply awesome, by far the best place for a beard trim and haircut in town. You definately should call ahead or book an appointment online as it's so popular they are not always able to accommodate all walk ins, but they do their best. 10/5 would go again and recommend to anyone.

Jacob Prince

Excellent quality hair and beard trim. Good staff and cool vibe.

Stephen Hickey

The guys at Fogtown, lead by Chris Evans, have definitely found a niche when it comes to barbering in St. John's. Since 2011 they've been offering short & sharp haircuts and high-quality grooming products to guys from the heart of downtown St John's. Originally a one-chair shop, the demand for service was so high they had to expand to a two-chair shop earlier than expected. Initially, only same-day appointments were available, which could be frustrating at times when the appointments were quickly booked up by the loyal clientele. However, you quickly realize it's worth having to call a few times in the morning in order to get your spot. However, they've recently started offering advanced bookings, which is a great convenience as I work out of town and was able to book my next appointment when I visited earlier this week. I expected hundreds of others will certainly do the same. After my first visit, I was hooked - It was like no other barbershop I've ever visited. When you walk in the door, you're as likely to hear local AM talk-radio as you are to hear the latest release from an underground hardcore punk band or Elvis Presley ca. 1955, and conversation can range from municipal politics to what's the best Chinese restaurant to go for lunch, and everything in between. Fogtown has been my go-to barbershop for a few years, and the service and atmosphere make it a great place to go for a haircut, or just to hang out and talk to people as they go about their day. They offer a range of high-quality grooming products including pomades, double edge safety razors, shave cream and beard oil from top brands like Baxter of California, Iron Society, and Layrite. It really is a one-stop shop for guys. Fogtown is a great place for guys to get a crisp hair cut, and their customer base has rewarded them with the distinction of "best place to get a men's haircut" in the St John's area in Overcast magazine. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, I highly recommend a trip to Fogtown Barber & Shop for a sharp cut, cool and friendly atmosphere, and of course a complimentary beer. It's an old-school barbershop with a modern touch. Inspired by the original downtown barbershop - The Family Barber - Chris, Colin, Robbie, Dan, Chris, and Heff bring classic barbering to modern-day St John's like nobody else in town.

cool place to go.

This is the most fantastic and friendly barber shop that I have ever been! Great atmosphere! Bringing it back old school! I highly recommend this location! They take walk ins, but an appointment is highly recommended! Get there early for the parking of course being downtown can be a challenge!

9385dee7

Only the best. Quality group of employees who give you quality service. Their merchandise and the merchandise they import is also of a high quality. The atmosphere and experiences is worth at least the visit.

Jonathan Tricco

Excellent hair cut. It definitely costs more but it is so worth it!

Natasha Somerton

Awesome job every time! My son goes for a haircut, and my boyfriend goes for a razor shave on his face, which seems to be the equivalent to a facial for me.

André Boudreau

Colin is deadly and always leaves you feeling more fresh than when you walked in.

Fantastic service and best barber in town.

Shannon Wilton

Great place to get a haircut. Staff are excellent. The atmosphere is great. It can be a little difficult to book an appointment at times.

April M Sullivan

A great place with a great atmosphere.

Kevin Connolly

Bit more expensive than the chains but well worth it. Make sure you book 1-2 weeks ahead of time or you may be disappointed.

Tyler Temple

Excellent cut

Ian Browne

Wonderful service and experience

Jeet Jani

Get, Ashleigh and the crew are the best in the city. Great conversations and service.

Cody Barrett

Always booked. can call when opening or a little after and always booked for the day. what good is that? why not just do walk in appointments

Brandon Walsh

Just gotta say wow. What an awesome crew. I've been to many barber shops both here at home and away, and I've never had such a positive experience. Bryan Connors may currently be an apprentice, but dude is going places, having spent more time and attention on my hair than any barber I've ever experienced, Ashleigh even taught us both a thing or two about my difficult (thin, very light) hair along the way! Cheers guys, I'll be back!

Everything Is Broken Garage

Chris and da bys are best kind, can't say enough good things about the team! Congrats on the first 10 years here's to 50 more!

Brent Augustus (DoctorRainKing)

Best place in town for a haircut. Friendly and welcoming staff that do great work. Can give you the cut you are looking for. Also, can make your hair look great, even when you dont know what you want!

Sam Newhook

Hef always come through with the tightest fades!

Daniel Tobin

Try and book in advance. The boys at Fogtown have their finger on the pulse of downtown St. John's. Trendy barber shop conveniently located at Prescott & Water. Great haircuts, great products. If your looking for a stylish haircut this is your first stop .

Robert Young

Awesome job. Cutting edge shop...very sharp!

Lee Williams

Went home and had to fix up the haircut myself, straggley long hairs left all over the place.. I'd cut or shave my entire head of hair my self, before ever going back to this over hyped hair salon again

Sheldon Huelin

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, and a damn fine haircut, the best I had in years! If you are a man, live in the St. John's area, and need a haircut, go to this place!!

Ryan Lamkin

Great clean cuts and awesome staff.

Ryan Pugh

Very hip. Very trendy.

Garrett Wilson

Best in town for a reason. Thanks Chris

Jeremy Snow

I saw Bob to get a haircut and beard trim and it was an honestly awesome experience! He was very thorough and precise and the atmosphere in the shop was pretty sweet. Definitely going back for my next cut and (hopefully) going to book with Bob again! (They’re booked up for a reason!)

Jason Sooley

A delightful treat for the senses. This isn't just a barbershop its an experience. The talent here is pure genius. Their ability to transform the shaggiest of scoundrels into dapper individuals is unparalleled. #NextLevelExperiences

Wesley Evans

Ashleigh is the best!

Nick Doherty

Best cut in town. Hands down.

Ben Heeley

10/10 spot. No where else on the island can you get the same vibes that FogTown offers. Sit back, have a chop'n a laugh, and come out looking fresh. George Street won't known what hit it.

Gerald Stone

Friendly service ! Great cuts . Would highly recommend. Also the side shop is a must to check out .

Alex Boyce

I love the place, barber shop smell and barber shop banter and chat. It's a very relaxing environment. Judt make sure you make an appointment or walk-in early and ask to go on the cancellation list if you're nearby.

Norman Potter

Worth the wait and the cost

Best Barber Shop in the city. Cool atmosphere, great service, and most importantly, a great haircut everytime.

Love the vibe here. I've gone to Ashleigh a couple of times now - she is wonderful and her cuts are fantastic!

Ben Chapman-Smith

I really dig this barbershop. It’s pretty over the top with its decorations but that just adds to the vibe. Definitely the coolest place to get your haircut. I haven’t had a bad cut yet here. Also, check out the side shop for some swag, their branding is on point!

Mark Allister Benson (Swass-E-Sois)

They do what they do very well and spread their success out to local artists and creators. They've contributed to the community in a big way and this is what makes Fogtown worth considering for your next chop. Tight and tidy is the word!

Kaveh M

Great place to get a hair cut

Newfound Hawco

Best haircuts in St John's..

Justin Horvath

I got my first haircut here over a year ago and haven't gone anywhere else since. Staff are friendly and professional while adding to the unique atmosphere. I would strongly recomend using their website to book in advance as they can get pretty booked up. A little pricier than a "standard" cut but worth every penny!

Garron Norman

Fogtown is the place to go. Dan does an excellent job. I always tell him to do what he thinks will look good, and I've never been disappointed.

Keyur Patel (Q)

The barber shop had a good atmosphere. Iwent there for the first time today and I regret doing that. I am new in town and decided to go to fogtown because it was close to me. I showed the barber what I wanted with a picture. The picture had a lineup showing and everything else I wanted my hair to look like. He didn't tell me untill he was done cutting my hair that he didn't know how to do lineups. He then mentioned that he could just trim it and I agreed. He trimmed my hair so far about my hairline, that my forehead looks like a football Feild. I didn't say anything to him because i think he was new but just be careful when you go there that the barbers know how to cut your hair because you don't want to find out that your barber is incompetent half way through.

Henrik Fogh Pedersen

Excellent

Christopher Philpott-Flis

Great atmosphere, vibe and guys that work there.

Basil Crosbie

Brad is excellent

Sam Roberts

It's been my place for years. Always a good vibe and they get you looking your best in no time. The banter is always top notch.

Matt Papai

Chris gives a great haircut, and it's an honest price for the quality. Will be back!

Maxime Côté

(Translated) Very satisfied with Ashley's work. The decor is really great. A real "Barber Shop" as we like them. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was good. I did the sault when I saw the prices, quite expensive, but it seems to be the prices here. It did not spoil my experience. :-) (Original) Tres satisfait du travail de Ashley. La déco est vraiment génial. Un vrai "Barber Shop" comme on les aime. Tout le monde y était très sympathique et l'ambiance y était bonne. J'ai fait le sault quand j'ai vu les prix, assez dispendieux, mais ça semble être les prix ici. Ça n'a pas gâché mon expérience. :-)

aaron p

I went in with only a vague idea of what i wanted. Bryan came up with something based on that and it's probably my favourite haircut i've ever had.

Jordan Gray

Best cuts in town!! Impeccable service!!

Quinton Smith

Great and friendly service. They have two awesome dogs that just hangout with the clients, adds for a nice atmosphere.

Chris Butt

I actually have no idea why you got a 1 star rating from me, didn't know I reviewed your shop. I wholeheartedly apologize for that. My hair cut and beard trim was amazing. The shop is awesome. I will definitely be going back again the next time I'm in Newfoundland.

Connor Dwyer-Power

Amazing experience great cut and awesome service

Andrew Ryan

Ashleigh Pickering gave me the best haircut I probably ever had in my life. It's a Friendly little place with cool good vibe. Very tentative to detail and For the value and price, there should be a lot more Fogtowns and a lot less Tommy Guns.

Blair Hancock

Awesome haircuts.

James Kelly

Coolest barber shop you'll visit

Flora Tang

Sweet shop! Also, picked up all my non-tacky souvenir gifts from here.

Darren Price

Ashleigh gave me a nice fade and a straight razor shave. Very happy with how it came out.

Boyd Carter

Excellent service. An old time barbershop, with a modern attitude.

Conk Abaddon

Fantastic straight blade shave.

Mathieu Labouret

One of the best barber in St John's

Jonathan Cruz

service is trash

Will Goodridge

First time getting a Fogtown cut, the service is wicked and the cut is amazing...I'll be back definitely

John Constantine

Been a regular for years, always a great experience

Noah Kavanagh

Always good service and good cuts

Kero F

Best barbershop in town

aaron coombs

Always a fast and great cut. The last time it took a little longer but I always leave happy

Tyson Forster

Flew into St.Johns on April 3 from Winnipeg Manitoba. Was recommended to Fogtown by my girlfriend. Came here in my first week, seen Bob and I’ve been coming here consecutively ever since! Hands down best barber shop in St.Johns! 10/10 highly recommended, great people, great atmosphere!!

Ian Tucker

Awesome service, great staff!

Dale Templeman

First time there definitely not my last already made my next appt....great service and awesome hair cut. 5 stars !!!!

_____ H

Never quite get the haircut I want here, always have to wait, even with a appointment

Joseph Peterson

Nice atmosphere, and a good group of guys. The prices are a bit much for a standard cut/fade, but the place is a bit overhyped. Can get the same cut at many other places for much cheaper

Mark Harvey

Hef is the man and always gives a good chop. Who am I kidding though: I am really there to visit the shop dogs Poppy and Mickey.

Joshua Reid

service and attention to detail is top notch. I cant stop looking in the mirror. My straight blade shave and tight hair cut is well worth the time and money.

Lee Williams

I'd go to first choice before I ever step in this place again.

Dave Youden

Always a great experience. Best place in town for a cut and a shave

Cameron Campbell

Best place in town for a clean men's cut.

Chris Rumbolt

Fogtown is the only barbershop I’ll go to these days. There’s no doubt it’s the best barbershop in the city with a cool bunch of barbers. 100% recommend.
