Waterlooville is not short of barbers. We counted more than 25 across the town centre, Cowplain, Horndean, Purbrook, Widley, Denmead and Clanfield. One of them has a perfect five-star rating from nearly 600 people.
We pulled every barber’s live Google rating and review count, read what customers mention most (skin fades, beard trims, kids’ cuts, online booking), and noted who is open on a Sunday or late in the evening. Every number is correct at the time of writing (25 September 2026).
How we ranked them: highest Google star rating first, with ties broken by number of reviews. Barbers with fewer than 50 reviews go after the rest, because a handful of five-star reviews isn’t a fair comparison with hundreds. There’s a Best barber by area section after the rankings.
