Had my first visit with Katie today and the whole experience was top notch. She knocked it out of the park.

A low key atmosphere with talented people who are easy to get along with, you can't ask for anything better than that. Thank you Katie!

I have found my barbershop in Toronto. This is an excellent spot in Parkdale for a haircut and beard trim, the shop itself is clean with cool art on the wall and awesome music playing. I got a cut from Chris, and he did the best beard trim I think I have ever had (it’s a pretty huge beard), I was getting compliments from strangers later in the day. Highly recommend!Services: Beard maintenance
