The result of CAD 40+ haircut by "Senior Barber"

Summary: VERY TOXIC place. Conclusion: Worst haircut experience ever. Recommendation: Stay away. "Cool Story": I cut my hair at this barber shop 6/7 times and always booked a haircut and wash, and was always happy until the last time. I have booked an appointment for my birthday with a Senior Barber named Marshall (according to the barbershop's website). I asked for the "skin to fade" haircut. The attached picture shows how the mentioned Senior Barber here implemented a "skin to fade". I was not shown the result of his "work" at the back of my head after it's finished, and I noticed how it looked only when I returned home. Also, before washing my hair he made me very uncomfortable by sprinkling some water on my face (a couple times) when I was expecting the hot towel (which is being offered here as a part of wash service). However, after the next day's conversation with him, I understood that his intention was to simply make fun of me. After that he greeted me "Happy Birthday" (this info was in my account in their system). I felt like I am being mocked after all this, but I have chosen to ignore it, until I have seen the result of this haircut later that day. I came back the next day with a simple request to fix my haircut by someone else and I needed to do it quickly because I had an appointment. The manager named Kenny (as I have been told) agreed that the haircut was completely messed up. However, he said that I have to wait at least for 2 hours. I asked Marshall why he did this to me and he said that he did it intentionally and exactly what I asked him to do (ridiculous). Frankly, I can't even imagine how one would explain what you can see in the picture except for using the negative connotation phrases like "...please do a bad haircut..." or "...please mess it up.." or "please, make it look ugly..." When I said that I will have to go to another barbershop to fix it, in order to be in time for my appointment at 11am, the manager made me understand that I better do it in another barbershop. I had no other choice as to follow the suggestion given. The mentioned barber still works there. To be fair, I have to say that after all this I have written a message to the owner and I was fully refunded. However, that does not make this overall horrible experience any better - that's definitely not what people go to the barbershops for.

Needed a beard trim and they delivered. Easy to book an appointment online. Friendly safe space. A bit pricey but was worth it.

Sat there for 30 min only to be told they can't get me in. What a joke. And they really only do bookings so not a real barber.

Wow I am blown away by the attentive service, barbering skills and covid safety practices/rules…read morethese guys have! Hand sanitizer, masks, disposable gloves and face shields. I was desperately needing a haircut after work finished around 5:45pm and the only barbershops around were closed or in the process of closing, until I remember Scotch and Fades Co. I've driven by this many times and though "hmm, what an interesting name, the only 'Scotch & xxx' I know of is the apparel company Scotch and Soda. Anyhow, I rang them up since a large majority of barbershops now only take appointments due to covid19. They were able to accommodate me and I arrived at 6:05pm. I was greeted by every staff member once I entered through the doors even though they're with a client, great start! Bryan Areas, the barber too me to my chair. Asked me what I wanted and began his craftsmenship barbering. Bryan brought in a ring light, you know the ones instagram influencers or Youtubers use and shone it in my direction. Due to the lack of natural sunlight (6pm) and the lack of windows, it was necessary. The barber used his clippers and then proceeded to scissors to remove some weigh and length at the top of my cut. Razored and lined up my edges. I thought he was done when he pulled out the mirror for me to see the finished product. BUT NO, he explained that with my cut I also receive a face cleanse with a hot towel. Now this is an experience I will never forget; he used a cleanser for my face, laid down a steaming hot towel on my face and massaged my face before finishing off with an alcohol based (I know because it stung my face on a few spots) toner. I was blown away. Never have I experienced such detail, attention and a barbering experience before. Thank you Bryan Areas for the unforgettable experience. Tldr; barbershop and barber Bryan Areas cut my hair, cleansed/massaged my face for $35 before gratuity. Amazing experience. Will recommend to anyone.
