Sometimes catching a flight early in the morning can be difficult...especially if your alarm clock doesn't go off, starting your morning trip speeding down the thru way to catch your flight, only to arrive with the flight delayed and an extra 3 hours to spend in the Buffalo Airport. Unfortunately I hadn't the time to shower nor wash my hair before my 12 hour trip to Spain and I was desperate for a shampoo!! LUCKILY I found Hamdi Ismail, waiting at his barber shop with a smile on his face, ready to brighten anyone's day. Hamdi was so gracious to wash my hair and even provided an oil treatment to my surprise! He was so gracious, helpful and he really turned my day around. I highly recommend visiting his barber shop, especially if you've got time to hear about the wonderful life he's lead and get an insight on the truth of Egyptian culture. Thank you Hamdi and until next time! read more

Great old fashioned barber for the man on the go! Before my trip into buffalo, I had meant to get my haircut at my usual place which is the salon my wife goes too but was too busy. On my flight into BUF I remembered seeing a barber shop just outside security and figured I'll stop in, get a trim and "it will do for now". I was pleasantly surprised how nice Hamdi cut my hair. He even trimmed my beard a little, brows and finished it off with the hot towel. During our conversation, Hamdi had a polite way of "shaming" me for going to a salon instead of a real men's barber shop and he's right. You just don't get this kind of service and quality at a salon and certainly not at any chains like supercuts or anything. The price for haircut is very reasonable too! I will definitely be planning my haircuts around my future business trips to buffalo. read more

Hamdi, who has a barber shop at Buffalo International Airport, is a professional barber. The reason I am saying is one day while I was waiting for a flight, I met him at his shop. That was a good chance for me to cut my hair because I still had few hours to depart. Hamdi has cut my hair the way I wanted; it looked great when I looked at the mirror. In addition, he seemed very friendly and entertaining his customer by telling funny stories and joking around. You know what!! Since then, I have been coming to his 2nd shop which is located just before NFTA security check points at the airport. He has given me his parking permit and (just to double check his availabilities)I always give him a call by 716-237-0000 before to park my car at his parking lot. Hamdi, you are the best!!!!! See you soon for another haircut..... read more

I've been getting my haircut from Hamdi for over two years now. The first year was while I worked at the airport which was highly convenient.. however what a lot of people don't know is Hamdi has reserved parking spots in the bus area at the airport for Free! Besides getting a great cut + shave with the hot towel treatment and all, Hamdi will always go out of his way to make you feel good at his shop, with hot coffee and hilarious stories it's always an entertaining experience. Get to the airport early on your flight out, or use the free spot out front and give him a try, I highly recommend him. read more

George the Airport Barber is an area treasure. He truly loves his craft and his customers. His shop is tucked away a bit near the waiting area for arriving customers and you will find him with the busy traveller or one of his loyal local customers like me who come to the airport just to cut their haircut by George. He treats everyone of his customers like a king and you might expect to pay a price for the convenience and great service yet George is one of the most affordable barbers you will ever find and one of the most enjoyable haircuts you will ever have. read more

I have been getting my hair cut with Hamdi for the past year. I drive out of my way from downtown Buffalo to go to the airport for the Hamdi Experience. He does it all; trims the beard, single blade shave, hot towels, eyebrow trim, and always the cut you want. He's funny and totally committed to his craft. One time I set up a haircut appointment with a plane arrival in Buffalo. I was in the terminal barber chair a few minutes after landing. I never thought I would find a barber that I have to keep going to, but I found one at the Buffalo airport. read more

Wonderful experience with Hamdi. Scissors, razor, and he even did a quick shave with a straight razor and badger hair brush. Topped it off with tea tree oil and a warm towel. Friendly and conversational, and he's also cut hair for multiple celebrities like Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman. If you read the newspaper clipping on his wall, you'll find he spends his day off volunteering haircuts for home bound customers, or at the local hospital. Great haircut, can only hope I'm in need of another the next time I'm in Buffalo. read more

Hamdi is great, professional, polite and very entertaining! He's been cutting my hair for years, I won't go ANYWHERE else. His attention to detail is unparalleled. Hot and cold towel shave, edge ups, eyebrow, mustache and beard trims are all included with your cut. Make sure you get there early and stop and see him for a cut before your flight! Not flying to, no problem, he has a shop pre-security as well! You'll stop for the convenience before your flight but keep going for his great skills and amazing personality! read more

Hamdi is a very professional barber and is very talented when it comes to cutting hair. He is very knowledgable on how to pick the right cut to complement your facial structure. Hamdi has a store on the outside of security at the airport as well as inside, therefore anyone can get a haircut! Recently he was featured in our regional newspaper, The Buffalo News. http://www.buffalonews.com/life-arts/people-talk/barber-shop-owner-hamdi-ismail-doesnt-cut-corners-goes-the-extra-mile-20150822 Stop in! read more

I have a barber that I like in Cleveland and I am always nervous to try a new one, but I have been traveling for work the past few weeks and knew I was already past due on getting my haircut. I watched Hamdi giving a cut as I exited my flight in the Buffalo airport and could tell he was a skilled barber. He told me he learned as a boy at his family barber shop in Egypt more than 30 years ago, and he gave me a really good haircut. I would not hesitate to go back to this barbershop. read more

Stopped in before a flight today for an overdue cut. Couldn't be more pleased. Hamdi greeted me with a smile and a few jokes. He looked me over and told me he was going to "make me look slick." He changed up what I told him I normally have done, and I must say, I'm happy with the results. Looks great! He was very thorough while very efficient. Will return anytime I am in Buffalo. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I had easily fallen into the "Supercuts" routine....Shave the sides , a little off the top... Haven't been back to super cuts since I've sat in one of Hamdi's sleek old school barber chairs. From a full cut to a beard trimming and neck shave (and much more), Hamdi has the perfect touch to send all passengers out looking like a million bucks. It's no wonder frequent flyers become "regulars" to the shop. read more

This place is great! I didn't have time to get my haircut before my trip and saw it after we landed in Buffalo. Got a great, sharp, precise cut and Hamdi even used a razor to trim the edges followed by a soothing hot towel. Really special treatment, amazing cut, really nice guy and a great price. If I lived in Buffalo I'd go here every time! read more

Had been a week and my beard needed trimmed. Hamdi did an awesome job. While there I decided to have a face massage which was over the top with pleasure. I only wish that I lived closer so I could have Hamdi do my haircuts, beard time and the face massage was truly a treat! Amazing how such a wonderful experience can come from an airport. read more

Hamdi is absolutely wonderful! Going to get a cut is no longer a task but something I thoroughly enjoy. Not only are the seats amazingly comfortable but Hamdi makes you feel at home the entire time. He knows what his customers want and continues to deliver. I will continue to take my business to Hamdi and I suggest everyone check him out! read more

I found Hamdi on a business trip while passing thru the Buffalo Airport. Despite being after 3pm on a Saturday and just closing for the day, Hamdi offered to cut my hair. He is one of the best barbers I have ever had, thorough on all levels. He was also a terrific guy to talk to and funny as hell. If your ever in the area, make the trip! read more

I've had two haircuts from Hamdi and they are easily the 2 best haircuts of my life. I was at the airport traveling for work and needed a haircut desperately. I was a bit skeptical trying a new place, at the airport no less, but I was blown away not just by the quality of the cut but also by what a pleasure it was to chat with Hamdi. read more

Hamdi gives the best hair cuts. He has been cutting my hair for a year now and has always made a great impression. Even though I go out of my way to make it to the airport for a hair cut, I know it will always be a great result and look very profession. A must for any professional person who wants that professional look! read more
