I absolutely love this place and can pretty much guarantee you won’t go wrong with anyone there. I used to get my longer covid hair cut by Zach, who was exceptional. Moved to Halifax for a few years and then recently moved back to the neighborhood, so went back in today and had an absolutely perfect cut with Kana. I find usually when I go to someone for the first time there’s a bit of trial and error to find that perfect cut, but she got it first go and I’ve found my new go-to barber. Love being back at this incredible local shop!

I had an amazing experience at The Grey Whale Barbershop. The place was very neat, with a great atmosphere and a positive energy that made the visit even better.

Gabe was absolutely fantastic! He listened carefully, gave helpful suggestions, and really understood what I was looking for with my haircut. He was professional, caring, pleasant, and clearly very experienced. The attention to detail and quality of service were excellent.

I highly recommend The Grey Whale and will definitely be coming back!

Anton did a great hot towel straight razor head shave, and funny conversation along with it. A full hot towel shave and beard trim for $60 is very fair in this city. Any bald kings like me looking for a good barber this is your spot!
