Habibi Barbershop on Columbia Street has quietly become New Westminster’s go-to for sharp, modern men’s grooming, with over six years serving locals and commuters from the SkyTrain. They’re known for consistently precise fades and clean razor shaves, and for fitting clients into busy days with an efficient, friendly schedule that runs late on Thursdays and Saturdays. The shop’s compact 600-square-foot space feels welcoming rather than flashy, with three cutting stations and a dedicated hot-towel corner.

If you want a reliable cut, Habibi delivers. Core services include classic men’s haircuts from $28, skin and taper fades from $35, and straight-razor beard finishes from $20. They also offer children’s cuts, senior rates, and full grooming packages that combine cut, shave, and product styling in a 60- to 90-minute appointment. Product shelves feature Reuzel pomades, Baxter of California beard oil, and a locally made aftershave balm from a New West artisan, so you can leave with the same look you walked out with.

What sets Habibi apart is how they work. The team of four barbers has a mix of experience, including two certified in wet-shave technique and one who specialises in textured hair. Expect a short consultation, then visible shaping and clipper work, with the barber explaining each step. Appointments are encouraged, but there’s usually room for walk-ins between booked slots. The atmosphere is conversational; clients talk local sports, new cafés on Columbia, or home renovation tips while getting a precise finish.

People keep coming back for the reliable skill and the community feel. You’ll get a solid cut and practical advice on maintenance, not pressure to buy unused products. For a straightforward, well-executed grooming experience on Columbia Street, Habibi Barbershop is worth a try. Phone: 236-471-1033.
