Just got a haircut there yesterday, the price is good and they actually do a pretty good job. I have longer/thicker blond hair and they were able to give me a nice fade along the sides/back. I would recommend this spot over sports clips (nearby)

Quite literally ruined my year, have a big event coming up and asked for a short trim that wasn’t worth going to my main barbers for. Asked for a trim and proceeded to shave half my hair off and put squares of buzz on the side of my head. Do not recommend.

Do not go here. They will ruin your hair they do not understand what you ask for. Showing them a picture doesn’t work either they will cut it 1/4 as long as in the picture.

Very wonderful service. I've been coming here for the last 3 years and the service is wonderful. Really fair, affordable price, and the cuts they give are really stylish.No matter the cut you want, they can do it. Truly the best place to get yourself a hair cut in south guelph, if not the entire city!
