Another great experience.

Get on their email list - every once in a while, they offer 50% savings on facials, mani/pedis, etc. with the purchase of a hair cut.

Today it was half off an Intensive Facial* with the purchase of a hair styling. The facial…More »

A place where a man can to relax and unwind.  Really!

So, I'm growing my hair out for the first time since it brushed my shoulders in the early 90's.  My barbershop was so used to giving me the same cut for years, that when I went in for a clean-up…More »

I like the finer things in life. As I don't often have the money to have them, I come to places like this. I'm a kidder. I kid.

From what I gather, this Harry Rosen outlet-like store takes in the suits, jackets, pants, ties, shoes, etc. that the…More »

My local go-to hair snipper.  Always busy and much cheaper than the barber I used for the past 15 years.

Two great things about Vincent's: they're open on Sundays and open at 8 or so on Saturday for those are just too damn busy.

There must be 5-6…More »

Never been a Cole Haan Maan before.  Although smart, I could never get over the fact that some of their shoes had Nike technology in them.

Sales staff were so friendly and quick with suggestions and comments about how boots/shoes looked.  When faced…More »

***2.5 stars***

Been here a few times strictly for shaves (my barber would cry if I went somewhere else. I wouldn't cry; I would just have something in both my eyes).

Recently updated lists from Richie S.

Skip these if given a choice. (10)

Lets keep this one basic - a list of places that I would now have to bribed somewhat to even think about returning.  No joke.

Great, but (10)

Here's a list of fantastic places that just aren't quite "there" yet.

Good places to help you dress like a Man (8)

Well, if I can't act like one, at least I can fool some of you by dressing like one.

Mmmmeat (15)

If it were socially acceptable (and healthy) to eat red meat at every meal, I would load up my bbq in a Radio Flyer and pull it everywhere I went.

Instead, I am forced to search for establishments that either serve-up or will sell me glorious mounds of animal flesh.

Fine Dining Establishments (8)

Hey, because I'm pretentious like that!

Places I've frequently visited (and in turn either sold my first born, or a kidney).

The Best of Oakvegas (15)

For those brave enough to venture forth into what was the Original Cottage-Country, Oakville has some of the best establishments around.

French Places (20)

I've always had a fetish for French eateries.  Full-fledged restos, bistros or boites - it doesn't matter.  I'm just getting around to as many as possible.  But cut me some slack; I'm on the case and I'm going as fast as my lazy ass can.

Maybe it's b/c I judge everyone / everything and generally think I'm better than everyone else.  It's the frenchie in me!

French Places, not in France, but in the GTA (16)

I'm on a mission to get to as many Good French place in Ontario as possible before I need a bigger pant size.  Here's the list so far.

Everybody go Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn (10)

Places to stay while away.  No, they don't do "hourly".

Helloooooo love, would you like a sweetie? (7)

K, that came off as creepy rather than Mrs. Doubtfire-ish.

These are place to grab something for your sweet set of teeth.
