When Sigma opened up near work, I figured I'd try my luck. Best. Decision. Ever. The cuts are clean, stylish and the most reasonably priced in downtown/Gastown. The place is clean, and the barbers are all cool. Best of all, they have a great sense for the level of conversation a client is looking for. Not too much, not too little. Jamie is my guy, but I haven't seen a bad cut from anyone in the times that I've been there. If you're looking for a new barber, give them a shot. I couldn't recommend that any stronger.

Was looking for a barber for a special occasion and after pretty extensive research, New Shanghai…read moreBarber kept coming up. Located on East Pender and Columbia Street in Chinatown, this barber shop has been in existence for three years. They have a convenient booking system on their web site that you can book a time slot with specific barbers online. A standard hair cut is booked for a 45 mins time slot. I booked Tony and was extremely impressed with his attention to detail. He took the time to explain what he was doing, different options for cutting my hair and explained styling and product tips for my hair. Cost of the cut was 40 dollars including taxes, cash only, which is reasonable given the amount of time they spend cutting your hair and the fact that you are getting a true stylist. There may be other places downtown that charge less but that would typically be a 15 min to 20 min hair cut, and in my view you pay for you get. I was very happy with my hair cut and I'm looking forward to coming back for my hair cuts here in the future. As a bonus they have the cutest bulldog that roams around and there is a fridge with complimentary drinks.

Guy asked what style I wanted, i haven't had a haircut in 4 months so no style was evident to the eye. I told him shorter medium and let him decide on how to cut. It came out perfect, he used probably 10 different razors to shade and the price was $15.99 tax included so for a cut and tip came out at $20. Yay! I parked on a side street but the mall does have limited parking and even on Saturday at 11am there were several stalls available.

I told the lady when I sat down that I just wanted what I walked in with, just shorter, with a number one guard length on the sides and back. Then BUZZZZZZ she proceeded to shave my head up to the top. I said stop and asked what she was doing and she said "you said number one! This is number 4!" I thought I had been clear I didn't want it all the way to the top of my head. If I wanted to look like Tin Tin I would have said so. Worst haircut I've gotten in a long time, and not only that, they're a few bucks more expensive than a couple other barber shops nearby. I'm not willing to risk going to them again.

Charles gives great no-nonsense cuts at a very reasonable price. I went on a Saturday before lunch…read moretime and there were a couple of people ahead of me but I didn't have to wait long. Charles is a one man operation in a tiny little spot but it appears he's found his niche. He's old school, wearing the white smock and doesn't talk much or waste time asking questions such as "what would you like?" The only thing he asked me was "how short?" I told him and away he went. As another poster mentioned, he'll basically just give you a shorter version of what you walk in with and that's fine with me.

Wedged onto the corner of the building that houses Biercraft (formerly the Tomato Cafe), this…read morebarbershop is a throwback to the places my dad used to take me in the 60's. Charles (that is the name of the place and what the customers call him but I'm not sure if that is actually his name) doesn't speak much. He will glance and you when it is your turn to come up to the chair and then will begin to cut. If he doesn't remember you, he might ask you if you want it short (vs a trim) by uttering a one-word sentence "Short"?. Don't bother to describe how you would like the back or the front... this will fall on deaf ears. He will give you the shorter version of the haircut that you already have. If you don't like your current cut, then go some place to get it styled, then visit Charles when it grows out. The magazine rack is full of National Geographics. He has two tiny tube TV's which usually run pirated nature documentaries and sometimes a cartoon. His friend who owns a business down the block, hangs out for most of the day and chats. If you show up when he is watering the plants in the morning, or eating his sandwich at lunch, you will wait until he is done. The above may sound like a criticism, but it isn't. This guy is part of a dying breed of old barbershops.
