Word on the Street

What Ottawa Says

Best fade I’ve had in fifteen years. Marcus took one look at my head and knew exactly what it needed. I won’t sit in any other chair in this city.

— Daniel R., Centretown

The hot towel shave with Dimitri is a religious experience. Walked in stressed, walked out feeling like a million dollars.

— Patrick M., The Glebe

Sam rebuilt my beard from scratch — lines so sharp my barista complimented them. Booking online took thirty seconds.

— Ahmed K., Sandy Hill
