Master Barber Alan Brown presides at this shop opposite Trinity Bellwoods Park. Modern touches like sleek, black chrome chairs, gleaming hardwood floors and minimalist decor update the classic barber shop template. Brown is hip to social media so check their Facebook page for frequent updates, promotions and staff changes. Straight razor shaves are a specialty but tidy beard trims are part of the repertoire. You can book an appointment online or just show up.
Overlooking Trinity Bellwoods from the second floor above Queen West’s White Squirrel café, this stunning shop looks like it’s straight out of an Instagram filter. But the care and consideration the team takes into their hot shaves make it a prime spot for all facial-hair aficionados in the know.
