This review is exclusively for their own brand of beard balm. My husband has decided to grow out…read morehis beard (much to my chagrin) and he loves the Kings Own Reserve Black Cherry Tobacco beard balm. While I hate his beard (lol) I do love the smell of this beard balm (but truth be told, I think you can just use it as a facial moisturizer, you don't actually need to have a beard, haha). The smell of the Black Cherry Tobacco beard balm is fruity and smokey. It's not overpowering and it smells masculine. The tin is $24.99 and $1 from each sale goes to a local group that helps people who are homeless. The barbershop is in an old converted house. The parking situation is not great since it's street parking and sometimes is hard to find. Review #81 (2026)

I was in town for a wedding and found King's Own Barbershop on Yelp. As a masculine of center…read morewoman, barbershops can be intimidating places, but this place was not only safe and welcoming, but went above and beyond. I was immediately greeted by both Chris and Noah. While I only needed a buzz cut, Noah's conversation skills were exceptional - honestly the best I've experienced at any barbershop. His curiosity and genuine engagement made the whole experience refreshing. As someone who's worked in customer service for over a decade, I can recognize when someone truly excels at connecting with people. Chris was equally impressive - he remembered my name and found moments to connect even while I was with Noah, showing he was attentively listening from afar. You can tell he's intentional about maintaining the high standards that earned this shop recognition. The haircut was okay as the tapering still needs practice. It looked "unfinished," as if we were in our way to great haircut, but then something came up, haha. It's all good, but what really stood out was the relationship-building aspect. If I lived in Ottawa, this would absolutely be my go-to spot. Even as a visitor, I'll only come here when I'm back in town. Highly recommend King's Own - it's clear why they've earned their reputation in the community!

I love their work, but it is a little too dear for my lowly bureaucrat budget. I was a little apprehensive about NYFB at first because I am not a sports guy.

I tipped excessively and plan to go back often.

This is my new barber joint! It's a sweet new spot :)…read more Let's start with the location and shop itself, it's in the Glebe, and easy to get to from most places downtown. The shop is really classy. Exposed brick walls, a super cool ceiling, great barber seats, and a huge tv to watch when you're waiting or in the chair. The staff are great, there's always someone there to greet you at the front desk when you walk in, or to pick up the phone when you need to make an apt. You can also reserve online. My go to barbers are Brandon and Farhan, they're both great! They don't rush, are killer at fades, and shape great beards as well. What's nice about them and the other barbers too is that they actually talk to you while cutting, about lots of different things, which is nice. There's a great social atmosphere here, and everyone is super friendly. I've had a few different styles of cuts here, and they cater to whatever you want, and give good suggestions of trends in men's hairstyles. The prices are fair. In the men's barber market, it seems that $30 is standard for a good cut, plus $5 for a beard, and with tip it comes to about $40. If you get this once every 4-6 weeks, I find that it's affordable. One big plus is that they accept credit, debit, and cash, as opposed to cash only, like some barber shops. The only issue I've had here is sometimes, even with a reservation, someone will sneak in ahead of you without an apt. It hasn't happened the last few times, but the rare time it does happen, it messes up your entire schedule. Like I said, incidences of this have been decreasing, so they're definitely cracking down on it. I've been going here for about a year now (they're celebrating their one year anniversary this upcoming weekend, congrats!), and I am going to continue hitting them up. If you want a great cut, beard shape, line-up, friendly and professional service, and a kick-ass shop to get your cuts in, I'd definitely recommend this place!

TVs playing some Netflix, however it stopped every couple of minutes and restarted, which was annoying. There were just two barbers, but within a few minutes a few more customers came in and soon after a couple more barbers. The haircut by a very young gentleman was perfect. He took so much care to every part of the cut. Would have liked a wash after, however it seemed it was not possible. A hot towel was a nice touch at the end. Would definitely come back.

They lost a few their better barbers, the wait times are long, and then a few times when I've gone in, the barber will be talking to someone else or on the phone while cutting my hair.

I got the hair cut I wanted first time in the shop The price is $16 for a men's cut in Jan 2017. This is a great price for downtown. There is one other shop on Elgin Street that will cut for this price, but service here is better. I paid $25 for the same haircut a block away. Even out in the "burbs" by my apartment the price is still over $16. This shop includes the hot, straight razor neck shave at the end as well. No appointments, which suites me. My office is close and I can drop in over my lunch break depending on my schedule. If there is a lineup, I come back another day. Went just after new years and the place was empty, Talking to Patrick I learnd he co-owns the shop with his female partner (his wife?) and has run it for a number of years. Apparently the physical location has been a barbershop since 1920. It's his business so he cares about the quality of his work and service, which I like. He also won't talk your ear off if you don't want to gab. Wheel chair access is impossible directly from the street (maybe through the building?) The shop is located in the basement, down a half flight of stairs. I will be going there regularly from now on I think.

This is my go to barber shop in Ottawa. It seems out of place in its downstairs location, enough…read morethat I questioned whether I was in the right place the first time, but the barbers are friendly, the service is quick and the haircuts look good. Two barbers run the place, one guy and one girl, and I've used both multiple times with great success. Either barber can give a great haircut well with minimal direction, "a bit shorter and cleaned up" or with detailed instructions. Each haircut ends with a straight razor to clean up your sideburns and neck (but they won't do shaves) and the price is a very reasonable $16 (cash only but there are ATMs at the bank across the street). Ottawa is a town with a ton of barbers, and I've tried a good number of them, but I keep coming back to Victoria's. The only thing to keep in mind is they don't take appointments so when you walk in you could be in for a wait if it is busy.
