I'm looking for a barber downtown - any recommendations? State the shop name and location, barber's name and price for a regular cut if you can.
I always forget his name, but in the 600-blk Johnson there is a guy, he's either $15 or $17. I went to him for a few years, only left as I made a deal with a client.

I go the same place as HB. Great conversation while you are getting your ears lowered.
I am glad someone else knows of this place. as far as I am concerned it is one of the best barber shops ive ever been too. Never have to wait too long and as mentioned good conversation and a table full of magazines.

If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to wait for a half hour, the atmosphere is delightful. The chairs came from the legion in Ladysmith, the magazines are what you would expect in a barber shop. The barber that I like....turned me on to music from Buddha bar.....go ahead Google it and find out what you have been missing.
There is nothing like some good tunes when someone is frolicking with your follicles.

I think it's $14 for a cut, I always leave $20 anyways. He's a busy man, worth the wait, bare bones shop but the cuts are great.
Cash only!!
It's a tough call, spend the afternoon in vic west (spiral cafe, Fry's) or Saanich (mr tubbs, marble arch and pretty soon the Hampton Field concession!).

Effectively reducing his tip (in many cases, depending on pocket change) to $1 from $3. So he's probably paying more tax nowBurt's Barbershop in James Bay is great. I think he just raised his regular price to $19.
Always enjoy Burt. Been going to that location since about 1992.

Since most barbers deal in cash, there are no records of how many cuts a day they are doing, so that $20 can often go right into the pocket.

Greg! That's his name. Or at least the name he used when he called into CFAX this morning.

VHF isn't that where you go?
