About Ansar Barbers
Ansar Barbers is a barber shop in Reading at 110 Northumberland Ave, run by two brothers. The shop is small and keeps to simple haircuts rather than elaborate styling. Customers who arrive while the chairs are busy are served through a line-up system, so the order of waiting is clear to everyone in the room. People waiting often chat with one another while they take their turn. The focus stays on straightforward cuts from a family-run team.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for an inexpensive, simple haircut at a small shop run by brothers, with the low price mentioned repeatedly and one reviewer calling it the cheapest seen in Reading. Close behind is the friendly, welcoming service, with several praising the staff and the chitchat among customers waiting their turn. Reviewers describe it as economical rather than fancy, and one calls the barber experienced. The complaints are sharper than the praise is detailed. Two reviewers say their hair was ruined, one a seven-year regular who was cut by an unfamiliar barber, the other on a second visit, and both say they will not return. Another describes a poor line-up system, waiting for nothing, and an attitude problem from staff. Long-term regulars tell a different story, and one of 16 years says the barber knows what suits without being told anything when they sit down.

“Been there for the second time and they ruined my hair. Will not return there as they do not know how to properly cut hair. Disappointed for the second time. Won't be returning.”
