I had a great experience. Will took excellent care of me. It was my first time and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Would trust these guys with my life. Best barbers in town. No questions asked.
Kay is a master of his craft. His talent and attention to detail are truly unmatched. After years of searching for the right barbershop, I won't go anywhere else. Highly recommend Kay Farah!
Highest skilled barbers around the area, have been going for 9+ years and always keep it professional.
Bilal and his cutting crew are very friendly and inviting putting me at instant ease. The fact that all chairs were full also shows many others approve highly of the services. I have had the "Full Monty" treatment twice now and have left feeling very happy with both cuts. Hats off to Bilal for doing so much with so little, in my particular case.
Bilal is great! He does great work. I always get the works package. I need to look professional for work. He always does it up right. 5-star service. 100% recommend.
Since 2015 BILAL has done an amazing job getting me too look my best for every occasion I have had, from weddings, promotions to date night. I’ve never NOT been satisfied with his services.
Will does and has always done an amazing job. Very polite and professional. I recommend him to people all the time. Not one issue any time I’ve ever been. Shop is full of nice guys that are great at what they do!
This place is the real deal ….no other shop comes close …very professional and kind service …I can’t recommend them enough…Bilal is usually my stylist….the best hands down…..need a good cut?….book that appointment now
Best barber hands down
The atmosphere was very professional and the quality of the service was too. Will, really knows how to get you right and I plan to comeback soon!
Will is hands down one of the best barbers I’ve been to. Every cut is clean, detailed, and exactly how I ask for it, no shortcuts, no inconsistencies. He takes his time to make sure everything is precise, from the fade to the lineup, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his work. The professionalism and…
Will is one of the most consistent and professional barbers I’ve been to. Every cut is clean, sharp, and exactly how I ask for it. He pays serious attention to detail and takes his time to make sure everything is perfect before you leave the chair. What really stands out is how precise and reliable he is, you know…
Bilal is the best barber around. I’ve been to barbers in the city and all around the metro east area and he’s got them beat. Top notch skill set. Efficient, professional and listens. Barber for life.
The best around, always does a phenomenal job!

Bilal always hooks me up with a fresh look! I appreciate that he doesn't try to up sell me on products. The shop is super chill too
Always a perfect cut and beard trim and you don't have to worry about which barber you get they are all extremely talented.....thanks gentlemen!!!
Been going to Fade 48 and Blial for about two years. He always does a great job, it’s hard to find someone who can do a fade the right way. All the other barbers are friendly and it’s a great environment. Highly recommend but always make an appt they are super busy because they do great work!
Bilal and everyone at Fade48 is amazing. I’ve been with him since 2017 after inconsistent cuts from other barbers in the area. My son has been going here since he was born. I always have great conversations and they very respectful. Bilal is my guy but when he’s not available, I don’t mind getting a cut from anyone…
Bilal is an Expert at his craft. His attention to detail is amazing and professionalism above reproach.
🔥💈
Ezel was amazing! Super nice, professional, and really knows his craft. He made the whole experience easy and enjoyable definitely a five-star barber. Highly recommend!

If you’re seeking an experienced, professional barber in the Metro East, I highly recommend booking Kareem at Fade48 in O’Fallon, IL. My sons and I have been regular clients for nearly two years, and we consistently leave with sharp, clean haircuts. Kareem’s expertise and reliability truly make this barbershop the…
Been coming here for a minute and they don't miss. Hands down the best in the area, fades be A1, only spot I trust with my cut. They stay booked for a reason. The late hours make it easy to fit an appointment in after work. If you care about your appearance and want a spot that delivers perfection 👌 every single…
Kay Farrah has been our barber since 2020 (5 years). He cuts both my husband (active duty Air Force and now retired with a full beard) and our son's hair (age 10). Kay is always friendly, professional and literally the best haircuts we've ever experienced. Go give him a try! Book in the Booksy app.
When I moved here I was down bad for a barber, my co-worker put me on to Fade48. Bilal has been cutting my hair since. He does a great job, the shop has a great team with good vibes. I recommend this business to anyone looking for a good cut.
Kareem does an amazing job. Went in two years ago not knowing what to expect and have been going every four weeks since. Check these guys out you won’t be disappointed.
Clean shop, friendly staff, and one of the best haircuts . Attention to detail was amazing definitely recommend
I've been coming to Fade48 for almost a decade, and there's a reason I keep coming back. Bilal, Kareem, and Kay Farah are all solid at what they do and truly care about making sure you leave looking your best. They take their time, pay attention to the details, and always deliver a fresh cut. The atmosphere is…
Best barbers in town!! I’ve been going to Bilal since ~2017 and haven’t had a bad experience since. Great customer service and atmosphere as well.
I’ve been coming to Fade 48 every week for the past 8 years, and it truly feels like family. The atmosphere is welcoming, the conversations are always genuine and enjoyable, and you can tell everyone here cares about their clients. My barber, Kareem, has been taking care of me from day one and consistently gives me…
I’ve been going to Kareem for about 3 years now. Every cut I’ve had has been fantastic. I’m particular about my hair and he does a great job fading me up!
I've been getting my hair cut here for years and have always had an excellent experience. Bilal offers a great service and I have sent many referrals to them. Highly reccommend!
Bilal does my hair and beard every 3 weeks. He does such a great job. Everything looks so clean I will continue to get my hair and beard done. I recommend anyone to go and check them out.
I’m real particular about who cuts my hair and always have been. I had used the same barber for years and years before I got married but once I did get married, I ended up moving over 2 and a half hours away from home to the ofallon area. Once here I started looking for barbers or anyone that could do what I needed…
Great local spot to get your hair done right. Bilal, will take care of you, they are kind, friendly, and most of very respectful to make sure you get the cut you want. Won't disappoint. Book in advance, they get that busy, being that good.
Bilal does a great job, I’ve been going to him for about 3-4 years and won’t go anywhere else!
