Abel’s on Queen
A traditionally inspired barbershop in a contemporary setting. Located in the historic Walper Hotel, Downtown Kitchener.
We’ve holding down the corner of King & Queen in —a barber shop since 1894—where old-school craft meets a modern edge.
At Abel’s, we bring traditional upscale grooming into contemporary culture: timeless service, sharp cuts, and standards that never slipped with the times.
Same high standard. Different era.
Stop by the shop for your best cut yet.
