Was looking for a friendly neighborhood barber in Etobicoke to replace the guys I'd been going to for the past 15 years (they retired), and was extremely happy to find George's!
I lucked in to a quiet time, before 10 on a Friday, and was able to get taken care of right away. Evidently it gets busy soon after, according to George.
I really enjoyed the fact that he had AMC channel playing the 'Ghosts of Mississippi' movie - super relaxing to watch Alec Baldwin in his prime while getting yourself spiffed up!
The cut was great, traditional style with a straight razor to tidy up the sides and back. No unnecessary fuss or frills, I was immediately at ease and felt relaxed there.
George is a very pleasant and self-effacing guy, I mentioned that the Yelp reviews were terrific, and he was super thankful - he said he didn't want to look in case he jinxed it!
I don't think there's much chance of that - this is my new local barber now :-)
