I have been going to Rod, Gun & Barbers for about 2.5 years now, since I moved into the neighbourhood. I bounce back & forth between both locations the Junction & Parkdale, each time I get my hair cut. I live closer to the Junction location, but I grew up living in both Parkdale & Bloor West Village, & Chris at the Parkdale location is great,so I like to visit Parkdale from time to time. Let me start by saying I have never gotten a bad cut from either location, and I have got a lot of cuts by everyone on staff over the last 2.5 years. The reason I'm just now writing a review, is today I got the best cut I have had at Rod, Gun & Barber. I had Stephanie at the Junction location. I get my haircut short, for me when you get your haircut short, it all comes down to blending. All my cuts at both locations have been good, this one was great because of the blending. Stephanie is meticulous when it comes to blending, and she is great at it. Haircut aside she was very happy go lucky & nice to talk to, which always makes your experience a little nicer. It's hard to find someone who gets your hair just the way you want it, so now that I have, Stephanie will be my permanent go to at Rod, Gun & Barbers for my haircuts from here on out.
I have the Parkdale location booked for June 9th (my wedding day), to treat my groomsman to a cut, shave, shot, pint & a cigar the morning of the wedding. I booked this through Chris the owner, who is great, very friendly & welcoming. I will be going to see Stephanie prior to my wedding for my cut, but I know my groomsman are in good hands the day of the wedding, as all the staff at both locations are very friendly & great at what they do.
If you live in the neighborhood, this is definitely the barber shop you should be going to, I recommend both.
Have a beer, have a shot, get a great haircut in good company, what more can you ask for!!
