My experience at 5 Star has been nothing but the best. Everytime I'm there I'm treated with respect and professionalism. I walk out with a fantastic cut everytime!

I have been to every shop on the island, then I found Gary @ fivestar. I read all his reviews and please disregard the 3 or 4 that are not 5 stars because this place was clean, with nice leather chairs & big screen. we watched football and talked sports and a short time later I got the best fade & line up I have received since landing in Newport a yr ago. I won't go anywhere else

Jeremy Gambetta

Let me say this was the most enjoyable barbershop experience I've had. Gary knows exactly what he's doing!

Benjamin Thornton

I am a regular customer and I always receive excellent customer service and great cuts! I recently took my son to Gary for his first haircut. It was a truly spectacular experience!! Gary gave him an amazing haircut, the other patrons were awed by his ability to handle a 14 mo old and the patience it takes to cut for one so young, when Gary finished they gave my son a round of applause. A truly memorable once in a lifetime experience. Gary is a gifted babrber that can cut for all ages and ethnicities!! Highly recommended

Was able to stop in and get a fresh cut on a Sunday. He took his time and did a really good job with it.

Barber was late to open his own business... ok hair cut, nasty floor with hair and garbage from the day before. Talks too much with customers, no one is interested in your love life. Keep on cutting hair less talk. Maybe you need to update your working hours! It is my business if i am present, learn how to do your job without talking so much. Keep treating your business like you have the last word, you will end up with no customers. Garbage is garbage it is meant to be picked up. Before you close the night before do some housekeeping! If I 5 star everything then reviews will be irrelevant. My hotel experience while I was in Newport was 5 stars because they earn that, you in the other hand did not. Change you door hours, to reflect the actual hours.

Stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon as a walk in and Gary got me in the chair right away. Best cut I've had in a long time and great conversation. Waited for my uber after on one of the sofas while watching Netflix on the big screen. All around great atmosphere and an even better cut. Thanks again Gary! I'll definitely be returning in the future!

Gary is the best barber in town!

Tim Bovee

Very personable barber who knows how to cut hair and very fair and honest pricing. Will definitely be back.

I have been going to five star for almost 3 years now and by far the best barber on the island and I had been to all of the others before I came to five star. I always leave looking fresh. He always does a phonmenal job every time.

Jake Jolley

I am military and have small windows to get out in town. Made an appointment for a Sunday. I showed up a little early, he got me in and out but did an excellent job as well. Takes his time to do it right. I get constant compliments. I will for sure be going back before I leave town.

Alexander Espinoza

Excellent service! Gary is a skilled barber who takes his time with his craft to ensure each customer looks their best. I have been to many barbershops on Aquidneck island, but Gary is the best! Five Star definitely lives up to its name.

Maxwell Lennon

Was looking for a new barber for more consistent cuts and clean lineups, found Gary and I won’t let anyone else touch my head. Hands down best on the island. Try him out one time your not gonna wanna go anywhere else.

Zach Cornell

Definitely the best barber I’ve found in the area. He takes his time and makes sure he gives you a great haircut. He’ll even tell you if he has a long line that you can come back later so you won’t have to wait in line. He’s also even bought pizza for his customers multiple times when I’ve been in there.

Michael Bauldrick

Stopped in after having typical NEX cuts. Gary hooked me up and had me looking like myself. Thinking of stopping by tomorrow.

Amazin Aces

I was new to the area and was in search of a comfortable barbershop with excellent service. My girlfriend suggest I try out Five Star. The barber was incredibly tanlented and easy going. I’d recommend this place to any of my friends in search of a fresh, clean cut.

Perfect every time

Daniel Cleveland-Perez

Theres a fine line with cutting hair and being a barber. Theres art, creativity and most of all patience. To actually care about your customer rarely goes unnoticed. And i can say with full confidence that i was taken care of; no doubt the best barber shop ive been to in years.

James Campbell

Been going here for 6 months now. Excellent service and he is extremely talented and friendly. Highly recommend.

Delmar Temple

Good, but I have gotten better haircuts at places outside Newport. This is the best place on the island that I have found. Guy talks too much and takes a while to get the haircut done. But, I think it's priced appropriately and would recommend it to others.

Drew Voshen

As a white guy with dark hair, it’s hard for me to find a place where I can get a decent fade. Also, being in the navy, I travel a lot and when I go somewhere new the only thing I have to go off of are google reviews when looking for a barber. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences. My last hair cut in VA I got butchered. I had to wait a month for it to grow back to a proper length where it would be possible for it to be shaped the way I like. I took a chance when I went to this shop based on the reviews, I was very happy with my experience. I was in and out of the shop despite being third in line with a quality cut at a really fair price. He got me right at 5 star.

Great environment, fresh cut, great place to get right

Icy Hot

It's a good barber shop. Like from the movie barber shop. The man can cut hair well and the place has football and comfy chairs. Don't expect them to tell you how much the haircut is though. Just give them, or rather let them take your $20 out of your hand and you're good. I guess the privilege of culture exposure was included in the price.

Patty Ferreira

My Son's favorite place to get his haircut! Thanks Garry your the Best

Darryl Lindie

Best barbershop in the New England area. Gary is a master of his craft and can cut all types of hair. If you are new to the area, military or just on vacation do not hesitate to check him. Guaranteed to leave with good conversation and an amazing haircut.

Mike Jenkins

I have visited almost every other shop on the island before I found Gary @ fivestar. I had to wait about 20 min, he got me in the chair and I could instantly tell he was a true barber. My cut was done in about 25 min and it was a perfect fade and line up with no push back. We had a great conversation about football, The shop was clean and smelled good and I was able to relax in his leather recliners. he charged me $20 but I tried to pay him $30, he refused the tip and said he does not accept tips from first time customers. he prefers you come back for your next cut. that was a awesome touch, thank you Gary I will see u soon

Tyler Thurmond

The barber who cut my hair messed up on the sides, cutting the left and right in entirely different profiles. Additionally, I asked him to take an inch or two off the top and ended up cutting off close to 4 or 5 inches, taking my hair from dropping close to level with my eye to not even touching my forehead.

Jaime Coriale

In the area for work, never been here. Gary is very professional and easy to talk too. He does great work worth the wait!

Kyle

Friendly and a good cut. I stopped and he wasn't open but was there taking care of some work at the shop. I said I would come back later and he said no need, he would cut my hair right then even though he wasn't open. A very nice guy who clearly cares about his customers and community.

malcolm lewis

This is the only shop I've been to since moving here. No need to go anywhere else, excellent service, on point haircuts, clean shop. G really knows his customers as well. There is a bit of a wait time for walk ins but it’s worth the wait.

Matt McIntyre

If you want a quality cut, clean fade, and awesome barber that takes his time, this is absolutely the place. If you want a risky, low quality haircut and an embarrassingly choppy fade, go ahead and pay 12$ plus tip elsewhere. I believe that a 20$ cut is more than fair for such great work, and fantastic customer service. On top of that, the leather couches and flat screen to watch while you wait make the time pass quickly as opposed to most barber shops where you'll end up sitting in cheap uncomfortable chairs just waiting to get out. For the first time in months my wife approves my new cut, and that is a high standard to meet.

raymond johnson

I needed a black barber I got me a black barber. Freshest cuts I've received in middletown hands down.

Richard Asirifi-Nyarko

I hate G , ever since he started cutting my hair I don’t know what to do with myself lol all jokes aside he’s reliable and skilled. G saves lives lol.

Trey Coke

Big thanks to Gary for professional service and clean cut at the shop. Relaxed environment and super easy-going!

Ryan Randall

I was in the Newport area for ODS and needed to find a barber that could cut black hair. I tend to be very picky with the barbers I choose to touch my hair. Gary is a true barber that take his time to make sure you get a fresh cut. The shop has a good culture and relaxed vibe. I will be returning to the shop for another cut very soon.

Clarence Walters

Awesome cuts always. Been my barber for yearsssss yeah that long never stepped out disappointed everything on point bless up.

Blu

Great haircuts, and a really nice barber.

Joshua Hunt

I came in for the first time today, and I did not leave disappointed. It's a clean shop, with a relaxed environment. Gary was awesome, and so is my haircut. I will definitely reccomend this shop to my friends. Keep on doing you Gary!

charles casper

Small with great service and comfortability

クロームビースト氏CrpyittX

Excellent service. Make sure you make an appointment before you go, as walk-ins cannot always be accommodated (barbers also need to eat).

Suwanna Anika

Good prices, nice cuts

Melanie Escobar

My son rather wait then go anywhere else if need be . The prices are very fair and the environment is calm , comfortable and nice and clean. No Combs and hairbrushes collecting in dirty solution bottles.

Kenneth Goyette

Garry is amazing! His cuts are pristine and you will NEVER leave dissatisfied. He is also the only one who trims your beard to perfection. 5 Star Barber Shop respectfully deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
