If you're a man and you want a good haircut Fred's barbershop is nostalgic and reasonable prices

My husband enjoyed conversing with Fred while getting a great haircut. Fred is truly a delightful person.

After my Barber of many years retired. I have been looking for a great place for a haircut. Those large chains just don't have people that know how to do a traditional men's haircut. Once again Yelp is my go to way of finding a diamond in the rough. Found friends and called For an appointment, was walk in only, first come first serve, which works great for me and most men as we just don't plan these things. Located downtown Dubuque on Main Street you will need to plug the meter, but it is easy to find with the traditional barber pile out front. It is like stepping back in the past to the 60's when you come into this narrow shop. Although there are spots for 3 barbers, I think Fred is a one man show. No need to explain what size clipper guard or that you prefer a scissors cut to a trimmer. Never been there and just had to say, off the ears and neck, short as you can go on top and part and comb. True old fashioned barbers are a dying breed, so to find one like Fred is a great find. Need a true man's haircut. This is the place to come. read more

Fred is excellent at cutting men's hair! I'm retired military and like my hair short, and he does a good job. His barber shop is in true form to the classic old style that's hard to find these days. He is not to expensive either. $11 as of March. 2015 There are other good barbers in town that can charge a little more, but Fred's Barber shop is a good deal. He has a barber pole out front an just a small door so don't miss it. read more

Fred is always patient with my 7 year old son who can be wiggly during his haircut. Fred gives a good haircut also!

With a very busy schedule, it is often difficult to schedule at a traditional salon. Which is why Fred's is such a godsend. Can drop in for a cut or trim at a moment's notice, although there is sometimes a mild wait. However, you receive an excellent cut, great conversation, sideburns and neck trimmed with a straight razor and a steady hand...all for $11!!! Can't beat it! read more

What can I say, Fred's is exactly what I wanted a no frills barbershop. Fred is very friendly and gives a pretty good cut. That being said bring cash because he doesn't accept plastic!! I would definitely go here again!!! read more
