2nd visit and my prior 5* barber (Bob) was not available based on my timeline so booked with Tran. Another 5*. Bodes well for overall quality of barbers at this shop. Well done Tran and thanks. read more

The cut was clean with good layering/transitioning. I got a cut with Derrick who really took the time to make sure cut was well done. The conversation and attention to detail was excellent read more

Every Movember, I grow my Mo to help raise awareness and money for improving mens health. A carefully crafted mustache requires a few visits to a skilled barber who can wield a straight razor expertly and carve out a sweet stache without nicking you and leaving you with a silky smooth baby face. I usually allow myself two pro shaves during November and after having my initial Mo shaped up in TO, I wanted my Mo to get some Mississauga flavour, and this is when I came to The Barber Studio. Located in Streetsville (Sauga) on Queen St near Thomas street, TBS is the antithesis to the growing hipster barber spot. It's got all the trappings of a mod-salon with an urban vibe and clientele. I like this place because with their diverse staff, it's clear they understand how to work with different types of hair. But I wasn't here for a cut or line up, I needed a shave... Enter - The Groomer! Who? No, he's not a new super hero with a movie coming out in 2015 (but he might as well be). He's Stephen the expert barber over at The Barber Studio offering the tightest fades and closest shaves around. I've had many shaves in my day, and this was by far the most detailed, thorough, and closest. While the service followed all the key points in terms of facial massage, lather, hot and cold towels and two directional shaves, where he really impressed me was with his attention to detail. He pointed out an ingrown cluster of hairs that I just assumed was a pimple AND went over an above what he needed to do by not only removing as many of the clustered in growns as possible but educated me on how this had happened, and how to address this on my own once home. This was a huge help as I know most barbers would have just shaved over this without taking the time to remedy the situation. Expert Shave top to bottom. My one critique is that the music at times got a tad excessive, part of the barber shop experience is shooting the breeze with your barber and I found this impossible with the music blasting and other yelling over top of it to be heard - sort of took the relaxation part out of the shave for me. On the other hand, I enjoyed that TBS has found a way to cultivate that classic Barber Shop vibe where guys just come to hang out, there were several guys there just shooting the shit with the staff and it's great they felt comfortable enough to hang out here like that! I'll be back again soon for another shave and maybe more! CASH ONLY read more

I believe the cutting skill of the barber only matters 20% in a good haircut, 80% is listening skills! My man "Van" understood what I wanted perfectly. He gave enough time to listen and understand what I wanted first before he touched my hair. The final product was exactly what I imagined it to be. This was a very crucial haircut as I was literally heading to a wedding right after this haircut. I made an appointment half an hour before the cut not knowing who I'd get but I'm glad I ended up with Van. He has definitely gained a regular. I've heard good things about Goerge and other guys here as well. When I was sitting, a guy literally trusted one of the barbers with his hip length hair, he got it cut short. There must be something in this place to gain such trust. read more

The Barber Studio - Barbers Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

My friends barbar just recently started working here in Streetsville and works with a bunch of other talented barbars. This is a place for men obviously, and they accommodate to their customers needs. While you wait to get a cut, they have a PS3 and TV mounted to play FIFA. This place is poppin with the latest hip hop and rap, kind of even feels like your at a house jam. The staff is friendly and can help you achieve the look you want. My friends barbar, Steve, has been cutting his hair for 4 years now and my friend has never left unhappy with his cut. All the barbars take their time and enjoy what they do. They interact with their customers and keep their stations organized. Men if you need a good cut, come here, they know whats up ;) read more

If you want a fade done well come here. All the barbers here know what they're doing. I went today with my friend to get a cut from Nick one of the philopino barbers there. If your going to this place by yourself for the first time don't be surprised if no one comes up to you I don't think they do drop ins here since its so busy. You should book an appointment prior to coming since they are busy thought the week. 20 bucks for a cut with tax and tip no wash. The spinning chairs are a plus read more

My son had his hair cut here on family day. I was happy to find a shop that was open to do the cut. However, I noticed when he got home that the barber had shaved a bald spot in to the back of his head. The cut should have been free, the barber would have surely seen his mistake, but charged full price anyway. Very unprofessional, i wont return. Buyer beware. read more

TBS has been my barbershop of choice for about 2 years now. Personally I get my hair cut by Nick, but looking around the shop, it seems that every barber there consistently does a good job, as there are plenty of people, both young and old, who walk out of the shop in all smiles. The barbers here work on an independent basis, paying rent monthly for a spot in the shop. Having said this, each of them maintains their own clientele and this shop is heavily appointment-based. If you walk in without an appointment and just sit down, do not be surprised if you do not get any service, as each barber is probably just assuming that you are a client of another barber there. For walk-ins to be successful, I'd highly recommend telling one of the barbers that you're a walk-in. Usually, if the barber you ask doesn't have time in his schedule for you, he'll ask his fellow barbers in the shop if anyone does have time. Ideally, what you'll want to do is get a barber's number and set up an appointment. This way, you can greatly decrease the variability in your wait times. During your wait, feel free to play a game of FIFA on the PS4, charge your phone on their built-in chargers behind the bench, watch TV on the flat screens, or even check out the new hair products in the showcases. The music here is typically loud, and they tend to play various types of hip hop. Hopefully your wait isn't too long, but it'll be well worth it once you get your cut. PRICE: $20, CASH ONLY read more

I was visiting from California and needed a cut bad, set up an appt with Brandon and it went smooth! For being a very well known shop, I was impressed with the service and all for coming in last second. Highly recommend! The shop looked nice and the set up is much better than any barbershop I've been to. Coming back to TBS anytime I'm in Canada On a side note, the shawarma place right next door was crazy popular so if you're waiting to get cut, try out Osmos grill and get the wrap read more

Wow this place is packed! I was the guy who was tired of going to salons/ first choice and other choice cutters and needed a good decent cut! so I went on Yelp to look around and I landed on this place after reading some reviews so went in for a try. The place located in Streetsville is a very busy shop. I walked in and ask about if they were taking walkins but after sitting for 30 to 40 mins I got tired. I talked to Russell and he elaborated that making an appointment would be better as they all have customers back to back. Instead of being angry I though to give it a try one more time. Russel was pretty nice and told me to text him and he will book me in. The day finally came and I was here! I was sitting in the seat to get a decent cut, when Russell talked about how the barber shop works. Basically, each barber is on their own and pay rent for the chair; building their own client base and that's why appointments are much better. After the cut was done I would say it was one of the best cuts I have had in a long time. The sides were faded/ blended very well and the top was cut in the right direction as I gel it to the left. Hence, the $20 wasn't as painful to pay for a nice cut! The place is designed to chill, as they have a PS4 and flat screen TVs for sports as well as cell phone chargers. The parking behind the shop is a bit limited and if its busy you might have a problem. but I think you can park down the street. The shop lost one star as there is not a good system of walk-ins but 5 stars for the hair cut! P.S if you are into cars the owner drives a Maserati, check it out if you are there. read more

I went to this place for the first time today after my old barber retired. The people who work there are great and know what their doing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a hair cut or beard trim. Asides from that the environment is really fun, they even have a PS4 you can use while you wait. read more

VAN, GEORGE and Frankie were the reasons why I would never come to this place again. I get an appointment (since they're super strict about it), only to find that they left and or not there. Recently this happened with VAN. A year ago it happened with George and Frankie (they don't work there anymore). As long as this attitude is there, I would always be hesitant to go there. Skillwise, the barbers are good. I must give the credit where its due. However, the attitude is wrong. There are some good barbers there though, like Nick, Justin, Brandon, Vinnie, Jason. Infact, Brandon was the one who saw me wait and wait for Van, only to notice that he left. He was the one who offered to cut my hair and did a KICK-ASS job. I guess I will only be going to him from now on. Him and some other barbers are the reason why I would give some stars to this place. Van, George, Frankie are the barbers I will always shame and blame. read more

Not happy with the organization of the business. As a first time appointment, I followed the websites direction to call to set up an appointment. For some reason Van (the barber) double booked me, meaning I had waiting nearly 45mins + my time to get hair cut. It's a cool place, TV PS4 and cool young guys. But they have to realize that people are busy, and should the run the business better so as not to waste people's time The hair was fresh though. Skilled barbers read more

Walked in and got the best cut I've had in years. $20 for a cut and it was done in less than half an hour. My only complaint is that they could be a little friendlier and greet you with a smile when you walk in and walk out just to make you feel comfortable and to show that your business is welcomed. read more

Don't bother coming here for a hot towel shave. More like a lukewarm towel with a terrible shave. The shave was rushed and not done properly. I still have stubble on my face. When I confronted Frankie about the stubble he said oh the towel was there and I did not see that part. Wtf kind of excuse is that? Move the towel and look. He then attempted to shave the part he missed and said "I can't shave closer if I do it will be skin. Now I have had a bunch of hot towel shaves and I have never left with stubble on my face before. When he finished the shave he used a blow dryer to blow after shave all over my face and shirt. He then proceeded to baby powder my face and dust it off with soft brush which went on my shirt and in my eyes. When I left I had a wet, not damp, collar. I also still had hair on my face that was not cleaned off. I didn't tip and just left. What a joke! I can't believe they would let someone like that work here. Multiple times during the shave he walked away to answer the phone!! I'm so disappointed I will never return to this establishment! read more

Bad experience at The Barber Studio. I had an appointment booked with barber Justin. The day of the appointment I receive two emails confirming my appointment with Justin. I got to the place and turned out Justin wasn't there so the other barbers told me to sit down and wait maybe he'd turn up or one of them could do it. sat and waited for about an hour and one of the barbers just came up to me and said Justin was a no-show and none of them could do it. No idea why none of them could either. I even called before the appointment and nobody picked up, probably because they had the TV on full volume. This situation would've been fine had someone informed me justin was unavailable and i didn't waste time and money on an uber and a bus back. Or preferably if Justin had arranged for somebody to cover his appointments for the day, as he should be doing. I don't even think Justin informed his coworkers he wasn't there, they all seemed confused. I definitely do not recommend this poorly run barber shop read more

Went for an appointment with Vinny( not sure if correct spelling) and he did a amazing job. My next haircut will be from here. Nice atmosphere, great barbers, with great expertise and great service. read more

I hate to be that guy who leaves a 1-star review, but the service here was so incredibly bad that I just had to. I called the other day to book an appointment for 6pm. They asked for my name, accepted my appointment and told me to ask for Russell when I got there. I arrived a 5:55pm. When I walked in, there was nobody I could even ask. No desk, no greeter, and all the barbers were busy cutting hair. I stood at the door for 2 minutes not knowing what to do. I then sat down on the waiting bench. I waited until 6:10, at which time I was pretty annoyed, to get finally get up and bother one of the barbers who was mid-conversation and busy cutting hair. I asked him nicely if russell was around. He turned to me with the most annoyed look on his face I have ever seen, and tilted his head to the side as to signal that russell was the guy cutting hair next to him. All I got was a friggin head tilt. Russell was mid-conversation so I sat back down and waited for him to finish. When he finished the cut, the client got out of the chair and Russell immediately nodded for another guy to come over, who sat in the barber chair and began getting his hair cut before I even had time to get up and ask him what happened to my appointment. I walked out the door without getting a hair cut. In other words, the people here are arrogant snobs who advertise an efficient booking system (on their website), but cannot hold an appointment. Thanks for wasting my time guys. Only come here if you enjoy giving arrogant self-loving snobs your money. read more

A bunch of irresponsible kids work there. They gave me an appointment, and then when I arrived on time, he said he needs another half an hour to get there. That's the second time I go there. The first time they butchered my beard. I don't know how this place has good reviews. read more
