University Barbershop & S.M.P Barbers

“I’ve been going there for about a year now, and it’s consistently a great experience. The shop is clean, welcoming, and the barber takes the time to make sure you’re getting exactly the haircut you want. I really appreciate that it’s a family-run business—it gives the place a warm, comfortable, almost home-like feel. They’ve also added a new barber recently who does an excellent job. As a college student, it’s especially convenient since I can take my university bus and easily walk there. If you’re a college student looking for a reliable spot, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.“

Slawich Cut N' Shave Barbers

“Kay is an absolute gem and I can't recommend her enough — especially if you're considering bringing kids to what is very much a grown men's barbershop!

I brought my twin boys in and Kay handled their completely opposite energies with such grace. Lucas sat still and stiff (nervous little guy!) and Kay was so gentle with him that he walked out absolutely beaming with pride over his cut.

His brother Jack started falling asleep mid-cut and we were all laughing about it — but without a single word, Kay quietly grabbed a headrest and tilted the chair back so he could keep sleeping while she kept working. That one instinctive move told me everything about the kind of barber she is.

She took the time to answer all my questions, explained her approach before she started, and even showed me how to style cuts at home.

Warm, skilled, intuitive — and the cuts are genuinely excellent. We found our barber.“

Pieroni Barber Studio Barbers

“I’ve been getting my hair cut by John (owner of Pieroni Barber Studio) since about 2016, and honestly he is the best barber I’ve ever had. I’ve traveled across 9 different states for work over the past 5 years and every time I tried finding a new barber while away, nobody ever got my hair and beard looking as good as John does.

He always keeps my fades clean, my beard shaped up perfect, and simply nails it every single time without fail. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients + conversation, and clearly takes pride in his work. The whole shop has a really welcoming atmosphere too and everyone there is super cool to talk with.

If you’re looking for a barber in Buffalo that provides high quality service, is personable, and seriously talented at what he does, definitely check out Pieroni Barber Studio. You won’t be disappointed“
