This place is amazing. Great laid back atmosphere and no pretensions. Karolina is a genuine talent with the scissors, plus she has a super friendly, relaxed personality. I've been to a few other places in the area and I can honestly say that Hastings has by far the best value, and it's just THE spot to go in Leslieville. It does get busy so it's probably best to call ahead; but I usually just show up, and most of the time its' worked out ok. Regardless, if you want a modern cut at a great price - this is it!
