I have been coming to this place for over 4 years and the barbers have always been consistent. Smith is a great barber and has a arsenal of skills when it comes to cutting and styling all types of textures. I would recommend this place 100%, Good vibes and great place.

I was looking for a barbershop to fix a bad haircut. I called up and Smith literally fixed the terrible haircut I had from a barber who had no experience. Smith fixed up the bad the bad haircut and I can tell that he is an excellent barber. When my hair grows I will definitely come back!!!

The penultimate barbershop experience !! First and foremost the staff are focused performing their craft . There is such a real sense of pride emanating as they set about their work its palatable . There is a sense or feeling of connection amongst the staff and most of the clientele, like you dropped into the midst of a conversation any time you walk in the door. Actually The Empire Barbershop is my favourite place in Ottawa. I hate having to wait for my hair to grow before I can go back. It lifts my spirits about life and our world
