| - Just came back from my first time here--very, very satisfied!
I get a touch up between regular cuts and that is exactly what I got for $7 + tip. My neck is cleaned up as is the line including my sideburns. I used to go to a shop just off of King, near the subway, but there all you get is the neck for $8.
The shop is nice, clean and modern. It does not really feel like an old time barber shop. (I'll leave it up to you whether that is a plus or a minus).
Service was quick. Barber/owner seemed like a nice enough guy. He certainly shows respect to his customers by addressing them as "sir".
I plan to come here on a regular basis now for my touch ups since I can walk over from work for an extended break. I might even have a regular cut or try a shave.
(Nothing beats a professional, traditional shave guys--you have to try that at least once in your life.)
Highly recommended if you live or work around here!
Bonus tip for my peers: some of the reviewers here need to get out more often--this is Toronto and there are tons of great barbers who use straight razors, talc powder and all of that old school stuff. You do NOT have to subject that precious head of yours to the chain semi-salon places. My regular guy (near home) charges just $15 and often takes 30-45 min. making sure my hair is perfect. Time really means nothing to him. You won't get these guys near the financial district. You need to venture into the neighbourhoods (Greek Town, Little Italy, etc.) and find their shops off of the main drags like Danforth, St. Clair, Bloor, etc. They are a dying breed--retiring or quite literally dying--enjoy 'em while they are still around!
