    A place where style meets luxurious personalized service.

    No. It's a friggin barbershop. Old school.  12 bucks and lots on Maxim to read while you wait for your turn in one of the 5 chairs

    While the other barbers in this shop may know what they're doing, unfortunately Jimmy seems to have lost his game (or may have never had it).

    Prior to having Jimmy cut my hair, my last 3 visits with 3 separate barbers in this shop have all been great.

    Visit #1 with Jimmy: I tell Jimmy not to take too much off the top, Jimmy takes an electric razor to the top of my head. You know where this is going..

    Visit #2 with Jimmy: I reminded Jimmy not to take too much off the top. Jimmy takes an electric razor to the top of my head. My hair looked like a rabid dog had had its way with it.

    There will be no visit #3. If you're desperate for a cheap ($12 CAD) haircut, please please do yourself a favor and don't ask for Jimmy.

    I used to come here, back when I worked downtown.  I didn't have facial hair back then and my hair cuts were really straightforward.
    Rates are inexpensive, and the staff are hard working.  The place gets very busy during the day.

    Jimmy has some really nice big windows for looking out at the ladies walking by in the summer, but the problem I had is he is always looking out them! On 2 different occassions I received bald spots from Jimmy and his old partner Chris. When those clippers hit your scalp you know it, but then Jimmy also tried to hide it by doing a fast flip with the mirror. Did he really think I would not see a 3 inch square chunk missing in the back of my head? Sure he will give you a free shot of Ouzo at Christmas, and has great magazines, but is it worth the ridicule?
