You know the theory of dating up and dating down? That whole, reacher/settler thing in…read morerelationships? Well, sometimes I apply that to the businesses I support. For example, places like the Brooklyn Warehouse and Two If By Sea, make me feel like I'm becoming cooler just by association. Standing outside of Willy's waiting for poutine while its still daylight out? Still awesome, but yet, I draw just a wee bit of shame from it all. I'm adding haircuts at Saint Lou's to the 'dating up' column of local stops that I make. I've had a long love affair with my go-to hair place but c'mon...at a certain point a guy needs to admit that he can't afford $55 (with tip) every three weeks. So, when faced with the scary choice of new hair help, I decided to take a leap of faith and go with the one that all the cool kids are talking about. A wee space in the Historic Properties, Saint Lou's oozes cool factor. A gorgeous guitar and rotary phone share one wall, black-and-whites of Elvis in a barber chair and vintage gear hang on the other, and a single chair sits in the middle of it all. The main man himself, Rob, is bringing barber back with these sweet digs that have tourists and locals alike stopping to take pictures. No really - that happened! Now, a couple of things: 1) It's cash-only so come prepared. If you don't? Well, no big deal actually. Rob insisted I get my cut before running off to find a working ATM which was really helpful especially since the one in Historic Properties is usually bunk. 2) There are no appointments. "What? No appointments? That's crazy talk!" Yes. At first I would have agreed with you. But hey - no appointments means you can just pop in whenever...and that's actually pretty awesome. I showed up, I sat down, I left looking awesome. It was that easy. 3) While Saint Lou's definitely goes for the barber vibe (and succeeds), let's get serious and remember that Rob spent five years at Spirit Spa and the past three years working in Australia. This isn't just a buzzcut destination. You're working with a pro. 4) Yes - the rumours are true. Cuts at Saint Lou's ($27 for a full deal, but there are options for quick clean-ups in between cuts) come with a drip coffee from Two If By Sea down the hall or a beer if you feel so inclined. Which. Um. You obviously should. This one's a winner, gents!
