Where to get a haircut - for a guy?

[t-boy]

I need a friggin haircut - badly!

Last time, I went to this cheap salon in my mall.. grew my hair just so i can get it nicely trimmed and shaped - and she gave me a yokel-like haircut. I told her specifically - DON'T cut it too short. And she did.

So this time, I want to make sure there's no fuckups. I kinda know what I have in mind, but it would be cool if the hair stylist could discuss what s/he is going to do BEFORE cutting the hair.. or even show me some photo so I could ok it.

Any good places I should go to? Nothing TOO expensive, but i'm willing to pay (max budget: $50). I just don't want to look like a hick again, and don't want it to be cut too short.

Thank ya'llz.

Should have gone to O'Hairs

$50 is like 6 months worth of hair cuts for me

It may be a wee bit more than that but so worth it......Vidal Sasson in Yorkville(on Avenue) is really good......ask for a junior stylist, they are cheaper......My friend Clint cuts hair there and he is amazing!

Go to purple hearts, (41)595-0203, and ask for Amanda. I send every guy I know to go see her, and she's the best. My roomie and best friend get their hair cut there, and she's sooooo nice, really young and cool. You'll love her!

Location is queen and John, above 2nd cup near travelcuts.

I promise you'll be happy!

Go to Terminal Barber at Bay/Dundas on the west side ... just south of the bus station. Couple of good guys in there. Only $15 too, and you get to watch the soccer game while you get your hair cut.

Do they get to watch the soccer game while you get your hair cut as well?

 

[teknikal]

i think any barber is good.... ?

 

[Trini]

go down to Hair Concepts 2000 in scarborough.....a lil pricey but the two young Chinese knock-outs that own the place know what they are doing. Always busy in there plus they play DNB and Downtempo as background music.

look man! go to LID LOUNGE and ask for michelle . $48 and shes so nice and sweet and such a good haircutter. she never used the clippers once and shes my barber for life now.

Plus the head massage was so gooooood.

Lid lounge is at queen and church.

 

[teknikal]

is using just scissors better than a clipper? and if so, why?

 

[kuba]

^^ scissors vs clipper

i just find that she layered the hair and cut it much better with the scissors. my old barber did not use scissors once (or barely) and it just looked so straight and chopped. maybe he sucked but this girl was good at haircutting.

I agree!! The House of Lords gave my ex the finest cut ever!!
Plus - it's not too $$$

p.s. just be careful not to be overly friendly with the staff unless you'd like a hot weekend date. Nudge/nudge ... wink/wink.

I go to this place. I wonder how many crooks and lammists go through that joint.

i know this is a question primarily directed at Toronto kids... but if anyone lives in MTL i'll let you in on a little secret.

Coiffure Pierre's!!!
its only $13 if you're a McGill Student ($15 if you're not) and both times i've went its been the best haircut of my life.
respect to Pierre

Well I just called and Amanda won't be in until Saturday! I need to cut "The Fro" tonight! The rest of the people there are booked until Saturday.

Any other reccomendations? Whats with that place Coupe Bizzare? Over priced? Help need a cut tonight.

Those are my boys too - good cut, good price, good magazines and not too much chit-chat if you ain't in the mood.
