About | Neal's Barbershop
Welcome to Neal's Barbershop — the Battle Ground barbershop with roots stretching back to 1975. Neal's Barbershop is a family-oriented business where old-school craftsmanship meets modern barber education. Here you'll find who we are, what we value, how we serve the community, and why generations have trusted us with their grooming needs.
Our story and legacy
Founded in 1975, Neal's Barbershop began as a community-focused barbershop committed to dependable service and fair pricing. Over the decades, we’ve been a place where kids first got their haircuts, where graduates got their formal trims for important milestones, and where neighbors gather to share a friendly word while getting a professional cut. Our longevity is a testament to consistent results, community relationships, and an unwavering commitment to grooming standards that matter.

Why a local, established barbershop matters
Choosing a long-standing neighborhood barbershop like Neal’s ensures a predictable, dependable experience. Familiarity breeds understanding—our barbers recognize how local clients’ hair behaves, what seasonal challenges (like dry winter skin or summer humidity) impact styles, and how to recommend realistic regimens for ongoing upkeep. When you visit Neal’s, you aren’t just a ticket number — you’re a known client with a predictable routine and a hairstyle that fits your life.
Community involvement
We are proud to support Battle Ground through local sponsorships, holiday promotions, and event participation. Our barbershop provides an accessible place for supporting neighborhood groups and offering discounts for veterans and seniors as part of our community-first outreach.
How we approach every client
1. Consultation: We start with a short discussion about your desired look, maintenance preferences, and any special concerns.
2. Tailored technique: Whether you need scissor layering, a tapered fade, or a straight-razor edge, we choose the method that best suits your hair and lifestyle.
3. Confirmation: We check in during the cut to ensure the length and shape are tracking toward your goals.
4. Finish and advice:
We style the cut and provide straightforward product and care recommendations.
Client testimonials (summary)
Clients frequently praise our steady hands, friendly conversation, and the way cuts hold up between visits. Loyal customers note that the barbers are skilled at both traditional cuts and modern fades, and that the barbershop’s atmosphere is welcoming for all ages.
Why professional barbering matters to your routine
A well-cut hairstyle saves time and energy. At-home styling becomes simpler and more predictable when the cut is designed around how your hair grows and how much time you can spend on styling. We structure cuts to minimize daily maintenance while maximizing a clean, presentable look for work, events, and everyday life.
