Uomo Modern Barber - Barbers Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Uomo is great! Always happy with my cuts and the prices are reasonable. Location is super convenient for me and plenty of parking around that area. Always look forward to a haircut and chat with Steven! read more

If you are looking for a professional, stylish cut then Uomo does the job. The price for a haircut is $25.25. I have never had a barber charge me a fractional fee before but $25.25 makes perfect sense. If you charge $25 then you will probably get a $2 or $3 added as a tip, $25.25 likely gets you $30 since nobody wants to deal with the change or seem cheap asking for a toonie back. It is a very practical, logical decision. Much like the efficient tip model, the haircut is delivered the same way. You sit down, your hair is cut, a massager is placed on your shoulders and you get your neck shaved. You then get up, pay your $30 and the neck person sits down. The barber isn't going to be cutting hair when he is 60, this is a means to an end and a process to follow. The problem is that there are other barbers who will cut your hair for $30, show passion in what they do, chat about the weather and have some fun in the process. There are also barbers who will cut your hair for $12 and herd you through like cattle if you don't care about the other stuff. I have a hard time seeing where Uomo fits in for anyone outside of the 20-35 demographic who is maybe looking for a specific stylish cut. read more

Received a promotional flyer for a $19 haircut which is a common barbershop price range in Victoria. Nice enough shop and an acceptable 15 minute haircut but even after discussing their promotional flyer I was still charged $30 + tax (plus tip) for a quick simple 15 minute cut with no extras. Rather than argue the point I paid the bill, wrote this review and won't be returning due to their false advertising. read more

Great staff, consistent haircuts provided with good and friendly service. Looking forward to seeing the new location in Cook Street Village. read more

I love the idea of getting great and sophisticated service without having to try to find parking downtown. Saying it's "classy" doesn't do it justice-- it feels like really cool fusion of classic and new. It's like it's supposed to be my barber shop, not my Dad's. read more

Good location, usually a great haircut! I was able to make an appointment on the same day with the owner Steven, happy with the results. Only drawback is that they only accept cash or cheque! Didn't know this until after the cut. read more

This is a great barber shop! You can always trust Uomo barber to make you look and feel great! I would like to rate it five stars every time I leave. Steve is very skilled and very personable. The amount of detail he pays attention to shows in his work. Always a great conversation and an awesome hair cut. The best beard trim and shape up in town. I love the products me makes, all natural and work very well. Regardless of how much or little explanation of what style you are looking for the fellas here understand and will take care of you! Thanks for the years of constant awesome work! read more

In my neighorbood, love the chill, relaxed atmosphere and Steve is trained and talented. I've found my barber.

I used to go to this barber shop but I found Steven to be rude and arrogant...so I stopped going. I was 10 minutes late for an appointment because I was at the vet with my newly acquired puppy and the vet took longer than I forecasted. Steven kept asking me why I was late and challenged my reason, in front of other customers. Well, at the end of my haircut, that was done by his assistant, I brought my puppy out of the car for a pee right by Stevens window where he cuts hair so he could see I was telling the truth and that he would be aware of his own inappropriateness, rudeness and misplaced anger. My family stopped going there too because he turned them off by saying disparaging remarks about me to them because I had stopped going. I think he has anger issues. He knew he was rude to me and tried to blow it off by offering me a coffee, which I always had, but not that time...I said no, and left, never to return. I think he can put on a smile for awhile but his true angry nature shows itself without his control...just look at his past posts at how he angrily responds to his past customers. read more

If you like inconsistency then this place is for you. You need to book an appointment which is silly for a barber shop and the number of staff is always changing. The hours of operation seem to switch up also and don't follow what is posted on the door. read more

The barber is super friendly, the kind of guy that you enjoy chatting with. He does a great haircut and actually listens to what you want. I've never had a barber do a consistently good job until now. I highly recommend it. read more

This review is not written in a revenge attempt. I've barely even written reviews before. However, I hope this would help others be very careful when considering this shop. If I were to describe the quality of the haircut received in this shop, the word "atrocious" would be the one I would choose. $25 + txs + tip for the worst haircut (by a large margin) in 20 years! That is not a $10, cheap experiment (which I would not attempt anyway). In all honesty, even if they would offer me free haircuts for the rest of the year to make up for it, I would not go back there. Seriously! This is a small, cozy, 3-chairs barber shop. The banter was friendly and the owner was making the customers feel welcome. However, I personally don't care too much about a salon's decor or the banter....I care mostly about the quality of the haircut. This is the main reason I'm going to a hairdresser. I'm not too fussy either and my haircut is fairly simple, short on the sides and the back with a bit trimmed off on the top. The lady who cut my hair dived right in, army style, with the electric clipper set on a standard length, all around my head. Ah, and the chairs are pointed towards the middle of the room while they're cutting your hair, one is unable to see the mirrors on the wall. I haven't seen this approach before. Anyway, I had my suspicions that I'll be crying at the end when she started that way. NO OTHER hairdresser I've gone to before has ever done it this way. Yes, most start with the clipper, but using it gently and simultaneously employing a comb to guide the clipper, rather than using a pre-set length. The end result was a pretty short, pathetic looking and unequal haircut (I wonder how she managed that performance, give the standard length setting on the clipper). I could have asked a neighbor to do that for free, with pretty much a similar result, if not better. The owner has clearly read my disappointment, even though I was polite and tried to keep it to myself mumbling that it's ok (although I felt like punching the walls). To his credit, he's offered to fix anything, if I wanted it. However, I think he should assume responsibility when selecting those whom he allows to cut hair in his establishment and therefore represent his business. If he was ok with letting that lady cut hair under his roof, I did not want to risk any further. Maybe I should have given him a chance, but at that time I did not feel like taking more chances. In my opinion, that person should not be allowed to cut hair and should try finding instead another career. I'm sorry for this lengthy review, but I wanted the reader to understand my deep and sincere disappointment. I also hope that you'll believe me that this is not a petty attempt to "get back" the business for some minor inconvenience. I would strongly suggest you to go someplace else. At this price (or a few dollars more) there are plenty of choices in Victoria. I picked this place because it was the closest to me, with some decent reviews on Google. read more
