I was eating dinner with my wife across the street at Fiazza and walked by this place. I…read moreimmediately liked it because I'm a sports nut and saw all of the jerseys and banners in the shop. I booked an appointment the following day for my son and I and we were treated like a regular. Not to mention, the price is amazing and service was fast. The haircut was also great as well. I think I might have found my new barbershop - even if it is a 30 minute drive from barrhaven

Outstanding service and great hair cut, certainly would use them again if ever in area in the futureread more

Ernesto has been rocking straight legit haircuts since the seventies. There was a sweet 40th…read moreanniversary piece on him in the Ottawa Citizen that he has on the wall. I've been going to see him since the eighties when it was just Ernesto and a solo chair operation. Business started to boom and I guess they couldn't sharpen the scissors fast enough, so on came the Gary expansion of about '88, prompting for the first time the most vexing of decisions: do you accept Gary's warm invitation for a trim should his chair open up first, or whip up some diplomatic and tactful message about wanting to wait for Ernesto while hoping not to offend Gary. Sort of a 'it's not you it's me' thing. Like Ron Woods in the Rolling Stones, ol Gary arrived late but with about 30yrs of clipping under his belt, has evolved into a solid member of the group. He's cut my hair several times over the years but I still tend to wait for Ernesto. These days there's a third chair with a younger barber behind it, a very nice guy named Tri who doesn't mind at all when I give him a polite head shake + nod combo, the instantly recognized & understood gesture to simply say, no thanks...I'm waiting for The Man himself. No matter what the best part of any cut from Ernesto's is at the end of the process, you'll get the warm foam treatment on the back of your neck + straight razor to get the hairline perfectly 'high & tight'. There's nothing like it. $16 for the cut, and if you try to slap down more than $20 Ernesto sort pleads with you that it's ok and you don't need to leave so much. He's the type of sweet sincere man you like to hug.....which I often do.

When I first moved to Ottawa I tried a handful of different barber shops and wasn't sold on any of…read morethem. When a friend told me about Ernesto's, I went in and never looked back. This place is perfect (minus the somewhat limited hours). They have three barbers working most of the time, and even on a Saturday, the wait is never more than about 15 minutes. Ernesto gives me my favorite cut, but all three barbers are top notch. The best part, it is only $16 (including tax). It is cash only, so make sure to bring some extra money for a tip. Parking can be a little bit dificult in the Glebe. I'd walk if you can. If not, try to pair your hair cut with your grocery shopping at Whole Foods and they will validate for you.

This is a great shop, been there just once so far but I really liked it. The barber Patrick was…read morequick, professional and attentive. I got the hair cut I wanted first time in the shop The price is $16 for a men's cut in Jan 2017. This is a great price for downtown. There is one other shop on Elgin Street that will cut for this price, but service here is better. I paid $25 for the same haircut a block away. Even out in the "burbs" by my apartment the price is still over $16. This shop includes the hot, straight razor neck shave at the end as well. No appointments, which suites me. My office is close and I can drop in over my lunch break depending on my schedule. If there is a lineup, I come back another day. Went just after new years and the place was empty, Talking to Patrick I learnd he co-owns the shop with his female partner (his wife?) and has run it for a number of years. Apparently the physical location has been a barbershop since 1920. It's his business so he cares about the quality of his work and service, which I like. He also won't talk your ear off if you don't want to gab. Wheel chair access is impossible directly from the street (maybe through the building?) The shop is located in the basement, down a half flight of stairs. I will be going there regularly from now on I think.

This is my go to barber shop in Ottawa. It seems out of place in its downstairs location, enough…read morethat I questioned whether I was in the right place the first time, but the barbers are friendly, the service is quick and the haircuts look good. Two barbers run the place, one guy and one girl, and I've used both multiple times with great success. Either barber can give a great haircut well with minimal direction, "a bit shorter and cleaned up" or with detailed instructions. Each haircut ends with a straight razor to clean up your sideburns and neck (but they won't do shaves) and the price is a very reasonable $16 (cash only but there are ATMs at the bank across the street). Ottawa is a town with a ton of barbers, and I've tried a good number of them, but I keep coming back to Victoria's. The only thing to keep in mind is they don't take appointments so when you walk in you could be in for a wait if it is busy.

Ros gave me a great haircut. I barely had to explain to him what I wanted; he just knew somehow…read more My haircut was so good that I believe it led me to meeting the love of my life that night. She kept asking me "Who cut your hair?". We would go on and fall in love with one another because of my amazing haircut. Ros was so good that I started to suspect the love of my life was only dating me for my barber. I would later find out that she was only dating me to get closer to him. She did end up leaving me for Ros' amazing skills, but I honestly can't blame her. He's just that good. I made this story up but Ros really was great. 5/5 . Two thumbs up!

It's awesome they let animals in. I'd definitely come back. Just a note that the cuts are in the $30 range and I believe it's mostly a walk in place.
