Status Barber Shop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The best hair artists works here. Friendly and great atmosphere as well. I had never been disappointed the last 8 years I had been coming here. Highly Recommended!!
Fantastic experience: A bit pricy, but worth every penny
Fantastic experience: I got a hot towel head shave from John Clarke. Nice guy and a great shave. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent barbered cut done by Erol! Friendly service, reasonably priced and great location!
Fantastic experience: Hayden Copley has got to be the coolest dude there, he’s absolutely fantastic with his cutting skills and always pulls through when you need it! Haven’t gotten a better cut since I started going to Status and I highly recommend going there for you’re next cut!
Negative experience: After going to so many different barbershops, you should get your haircut at "Papis Barber Shop" I'm going to talk about Status Barber Shop, which is who this review is really for today, and obviously here clearly because there were not one, but two instances of disrespect and abuse towards me. First, I took my son there and they charged me upfront before even cutting his hair. This included an upfront tip for something we didn't even know how it would turn out... obviously, the haircut was TERRIBLE... ah, but they had already secured their percentage of the tip beforehand, which, of course, HOW COULD YOU NOT GIVE HERE IN CANADA, HAHAHA. Anyway, not satisfied with that, yesterday my son called again to make an appointment, and today, for reasons, I obviously will not disclose here, my son called just to reschedule today's appointment. And you know what they told him? According to their "policy", I'll have to pay half the total price of the haircut as punishment for canceling my appointment today. Why? When they could've just rebooked another appointment. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU GET YOUR HAIRCUT. A better place that I go to frequently, and that I recommend to get your haircut, would be at Papis barbershop, where the environment feels way more welcoming than this place. Thanks for reading this review.
Fantastic experience: Erol is one of the greatest barbers in town! 10/10 - would recommend to anyone.
Negative experience: Did not even get a chance to sit in the chair. They advertise drops in. They should aslo advertise non-acknowledgment. Sat there and 3 other guys who came in agter me went before me. Nobody acknowledge i was there or asked me if i was waiting for someone. Once a barber was done they just talked to their fellow barbers. I just left. I am hispanic and definitely feels like an all white environment. I am sure they are not racist and are good people. Just was not impressed
Fantastic experience: Great experience, Troy cut my hair exactly how I wanted. I would highly recommend Status to anyone looking for a proper barbershop.
Fantastic experience: Troy gave me an amazing cut. It’s also just a great vibe and culture in the shop. Will definitely be going back.
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in bc by far, the owner is awesome and the atmosphere is great!
Fantastic experience: Really amazing enjoyed it wonderful atmosphere such a nice owner really recommend troy definitely a barbershop to try!
Fantastic experience: Great cut with Troy, listened to what I was looking for and perfectly executed. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Troy gave me an amazing haircut, we had a great chat like I always do when I’m with status and I was in and out faster than I could’ve imagined, I’m a deeply loyal customer to status and will continue to pay the extra cost they might charge more than brothers or another shop just because of their superb service, thanks for the haircut and I’ll see you guys in the new year!
Fantastic experience: Definitely great spot Troy is very detail oriented and make sure you leave shop feeling like a new man
Fantastic experience: Hit Erol up for your haircuts! Erol has been cutting my hair for just over 6 months now, 1-2x per month. I trusted him with giving me my haircut for my wedding and he came through like always! English is his second language so take the time to explain what you want and he will deliver.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to T-bone for the magnificent work he delivered for me! Surely the best barber in town and I'm not open to the discussion. He even fixed my hair after a bad haircut. What a goat!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere. Troy's energy and humour made for a comfortable experience and resulted in a fantastic hair cut. I highly recommend Status Barbershop.
Fantastic experience: John gave me a wonderful haircut, exactly what I was hoping for! He also gave some very helpful tips and tricks on how to style my hair to get the look I wanted every day, which were greatly appreciated as someone who hadn't put much work into his hair prior. The vibe from all the hair dressers was lovely, and the atmosphere in the shop lived up to the hype! Will definitely be coming back in the future!
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in town. Troy hooked me up with one of the best cuts. This is going to be my new home.
Negative experience: Nice people but terrible hair cut. The guy I booked gave me one of those low taper fade things when I asked specifically on the picture I showed him for a mid to low drop fade. On a short buzz, things like that really matter.
Charlie, as the owner of this shop I take our reviews very serious, thank you for your input , I will use this as a teachable moment. I would like to offer you a complimentary service with myself or another barber to reinsure you that this is a very rear occurrence. Please give us another opportunity to make you STATUSfied
Fantastic experience: My best barber experience in Victoria. I visited the Shop when I first moved here. I was greeted by the owner, explained that we were new in town and taking a look around for a consistent barber. Even though we didn't makean appointment that day, the first impression was a great and has been ever since. Have tried some others around downtown, I always seem to come back here.
Fantastic experience: Troy is one of the most genuine and kind people you'll ever meet in your life. We had great conversation during the entire cut, awesome vibes. And on top of it all, he hooked me up with an amazing haircut, even with my tricky curly hair. Will definitely be coming back
Negative experience: Worst experience ever. Barber started cutting into my side burns without any consultation. I came in for a beard trim!! He ended up cutting my moustache so far above my lip line that I went home and shaved my whole face. Hugely disappointing as I’d had my moustache for 7 years but he cut it so aggressively that I couldn’t leave it. I will never step foot in there again.
Fantastic experience: Troy’s Barbershop instantly makes you feel at home. Troy strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. He takes real pride in his craft, delivers top-quality cuts, and ensures every client feels comfortable in his chair. The shop’s atmosphere is warm and welcoming, a place where anyone can walk in with confidence and walk out not only looking sharp but also feeling like they’ve just spent time with a good friend.
Fantastic experience: Troy gave me the best cut I’ve had since moving to Victoria! The service was amazing and the shop atmosphere was great! Would highly recommend booking with Troy
Fantastic experience: Jonathan is hands down the best at what he does. He genuinely cares about his clients, pays attention to every detail, and makes sure you leave looking sharp. On top of that, he’s easy to talk to and always brings good vibes. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a barber
Fantastic experience: Best fade and straight razer shave in town. Will definitely be going back
Fantastic experience: It was my partner’s first time going to this shop for a cut and I couldn’t be any more happier with the results! Jonathan was his barber and did a phenomenal job. 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Johnathan knows his craft! Always trendy, professional, and consistent. He takes his time to make sure the cut is perfect, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients. Best decision I made switching to him.”
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best barbershop in Victoria. Best cuts, fades, atmosphere and ownership. Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Happy to share a review for the whole family! My husband and son both visit Status frequently, great staff , friendly service, great prices and location. Local family owned business, lots of fun, Oooooo that Troy the owner is one funny guy!
Fantastic experience: My 10 year old got a cool cut by Troy and was very pleased as he got exactly what he wanted . Highly recommend !:)
Positive experience: Edited: The owner of the barbershop reached out to me after reading my review. He was very professional, and his response was sincere. We have resolved the issue, and I appreciate his commitment to customer satisfaction. I want to clarify that my initial negative experience was a specific incident and does not seem to reflect the entire shop's standards. The original review below describes what happened, but I am updating it to acknowledge the positive and responsible way the owner handled my complaint. ーーーーーー I’m not good at English, so please forgive me for using a translator. I chose this barbershop based on its excellent reviews and "Best of the City" reputation, and booked the "Platinum All Scissor Men's Cut," expecting a premium experience. The service description clearly promises: "Includes wash/condition, styling and product, razor outline and hot towel." Unfortunately, the reality was a rushed, basic cut. The promised hot towel was omitted entirely. The "styling" was nothing more than a quick blow-dry with no care and no product applied. The attention to detail and relaxing experience implied by the "Platinum" name were entirely absent. When I politely pointed this out, I was simply handed a $5 refund with no sincere apology. This response was deeply disappointing, as it suggests the premium "experience" I paid for is valued at a mere $5. It was unbelievable, of course, and it had a bad meaning. Perhaps this shop is adequate if you're just looking for a standard cut. However, if you are paying a premium for a service like the "Platinum" package, I cannot recommend it. The service provided does not match the description, and the dismissive way my complaint was handled shows a lack of concern for customer satisfaction. I left feeling ripped off and undervalued. Can you believe this service was for the “best of the city”? Honestly, I want a refund. I paid more than $65, including tip.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to get a cut. Guys did an amazing job and very friendly. Can’t recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: Got a haircut from Troy - lovely fella'! He cut me even better than my usual barber. Outstanding service!
You’re a STATboy now. lol. Great conversation, welcome to the fraternity
Fantastic experience: Was an awesome experience all around, the original barber I was booked with got sick so was a little bummed that I might be cancelled on but the owner Troy got in touch right away and took the appointment so I was rescheduled for the same day, top notch service and honestly the best haircut I ever had! Definitely found a place I can trust to do a good job on my hair.
Negative experience: It was an upsetting experience we had yesterday evening with Troy. We booked a hair cut for my son with Keaton but got switched to Troy. Troy introduced himself and told us he will do the haircut but then he went outside the shop and deal with other people. I am so disappointed that he let us wait for 20 mins and seems he doesn’t care about us waiting. I would understand if he was late because of attending other customer, but we see him talking to the people just outside right by the door. So we decided to leave, I know he noticed us walking out but he did not say anything. Few minutes after we left, Troy called us and he said he was sorry for what happened and he was running late and he wants to make up and offered a free haircut for the next day. I was too upset, but did not take the offer. I am hesitant to share this experience, I see great reviews about the shop and him. I do not know why he gave us that kind of treatment, he let us wait while he was outside and dealing with other people. I just hope he told us the situation and we will understand. But we felt being ignored and that’s really upsetting. It’s ruined our evening plans and moods. My son really liked the service he got for his two last appointments though. I hope this will serve a lesson to communicate and treat everyone fairly.
As the owner of my business, I take all reviews and client feedback very seriously. I want to start by taking full responsibility—I failed you as a client, and for that, I sincerely apologize.
Upon your arrival, I made it clear that I was running approximately 20 minutes behind. Unfortunately, I had to briefly step outside to address an unexpected matter with two friends who had traveled in from Uplands. When I realized you had left, I immediately called to apologize and offered a complimentary haircut and product for the inconvenience.
You mentioned that you’ve been to Status before and were quite happy with your past experiences. I hope this one isolated incident doesn’t outweigh the many positive experiences shared by hundreds of our loyal clients. I take pride in creating a five-star experience for everyone who walks through our doors—and I take it to heart when we fall short.
My offer still stands: please accept a complimentary haircut and product, with myself or any barber of your choice. I truly value your feedback. It’s through moments like these that I continue to grow as a business owner. This was a lesson learned—and I can assure you it won’t happen again.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Warm regards,
Troy Wilson
Owner, Status Barbershop
Fantastic experience: I booked a haircut with Troy and had a top notch experience. The hair cut was perfect, exactly what I asked for and better.

Fantastic experience: Booked a day-of appointment with a junior barber named Kiara. She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me a perfect haircut. Will absolutely book with her again
Fantastic experience: Best barber I’ve ever been to. Tbone is a craftsman. You can tell that it’s a special shop just by stepping inside. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Status Barber Shop is the best Barber shop in Victoria. The staff is friendly and professional. They give the best haircut experience in Victoria.
Fantastic experience: Lui is a fantastic barber. Got an all scissor cut with him recently and he nailed it. He can do it all but if you are looking to try clean, flow hairstyles, he is your guy!
Fantastic experience: Since coming to Victoria I started going here and no matter what barber I book my hair comes out looking fabulous! Very pleased with this shop!
Fantastic experience: Troy and Status is my go to barbershop. Quality is always top notch and everyone there is pleasure to be around. Cannot recommend it enough.
Fantastic experience: Went from long hair to medium and I’ve never been as satisfied with a cut before. Great vibe here and great artists. Definitely recommend coming here and seeing Lui Bautista for a scissor cut.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! Lui was very attentive and friendly. Took the time to get to know my expectations and preferences, then went through his approach. Greatly appreciate the attention to detail and skill.
Fantastic experience: I got a haircut with Lui. He did an amazing job. Super skilled with the scissors, which gives him the ability to give a wide variety of cuts not just fades and tapers. He gave me an amazing mod cut and I would highly recommend his services!
Fantastic experience: Had my haircut with Hayden Copley, and I couldn’t be more impressed! He’s an amazing guy with exceptional skill—precise, attentive, and truly passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand what I wanted and delivered a perfect cut. The whole experience was top-notch, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great haircut. Definitely coming back!
Fantastic experience: Not being able to shave for three weeks, my wife started to call me Grisly Adams. Wanting the best shave possible I went online and saw your impressive ad. I was very impressed as soon as I walked in the door. I was introduced to Erol and his treatment started and WOW my beard soon disappeared. My facial skin now was like the day I was born. He also touched up ear hair, nose and eyebrows.. i walked out feeling the I had just had a spa day. I will recommend your shop to everyone. Thank You so much.
Fantastic experience: If you want get best haircut and beard cut this the place! Service is excellent and every time they do exceptional job. Family atmosphere, every time when I come I feel like a part of one big family. Guys keep doing what are you doing and you have me for life!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier with the cut! Troy really took the time to understand what I wanted and executed it perfectly. The attention to detail was on point, and I left feeling like a million bucks. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch experience!
Fantastic experience: I was in town for a few days and needed a cut. I booked a haircut with Troy and he was just absolutely amazing! Not only is he skilled with clippers and scissors but he is also a great conversationalist. He did a complimentary bead touch up for me which I appreciated so much and it made my day. If you are looking to get your hair cut or your beard trimmed I highly recommend Satus Barber shop. I will be coming back here when I am in Victoria. Thank you for an amazing service and making me look crispy!
Fantastic experience: Huge shoutout to Troy and the team at Status, was in a pinch downtown before an event and felt like I needed a quick tight cut....did not dissapoint. And the shave was next level as well. Thanks Status for slipping me in!!!
Fantastic experience: I recently had an amazing experience at Status Barbershop with Troy as my barber! From the moment I walked in, he made me feel welcomed and took the time to listen to what I wanted for my haircut. His attention to detail and precision were impressive, and I left with a stylish cut that exceeded my expectations. He also creates good atmosphere by creating engaging conversation. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the service and will definitely be returning for my future cuts—highly recommend Troy! ✂️ Addendum: Lui at Status is an awesome barber! He’s super friendly and really knows his stuff. He listened to what I wanted and gave great hair tips for the future. I left feeling great about my cut and will definitely be back. Highly recommend him!
It was my absolute pleasure servicing you. Great conversation, nothing but love for the Philippines.
Fantastic experience: Had one of the best haircuts I've ever had in a long time! Troy Wilson is the man if your looking to get freshened up. He can work with any hairstyle. Never felt so clean, tidied up. If your looking to get the best haircut in Vic! Troy is your man. He will not disappoint!
Negative experience: I have been a regular for a few years now and gotta say the first few hair cuts were simply outstanding. Like I received way too many compliments every time. Still, I've had experiences here that were equally bad. Now why would I say that? Well if one pays $45+ each time, the job better be steller. I won't name the barbers directly but there are a few I strictly avoid. My usual barber used to do an awesome job and something changed over time. Like she understands the basic niche re. haircuts, but the fade has gotten quite poor...miss the old times.
Fantastic experience: Was able to get a spot in very short notice. First time going and was impressed by the atmosphere, and attention to detail. The haircut was what I wanted. The conversation and overall ethos of Status impressed me greatly. 10/10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Stephanie! She understood exactly how I like my hair cut, and did a great job with my undercut. Chill vibe in the shop too.
Fantastic experience: Hayden cut my boyfriend’s hair, literally the best cut he’s ever gotten!! So professional and easy going. Overall great experience.
Fantastic experience: Honestly, best Barbershop on the Island hands down! Not just the service , the quality of the cuts but for the ambiance, the personality and the dynamic conversations. Each time I arrive I feel like not only am I leaving here looking physically better but also better internally. Big shout out to Tbone! And Erol! Amazing guys with incredible talent. Haircuts worth the investment.
Fantastic experience: I got my hair cut by Troy. He did an absolutely phenomenal job! I showed him what I wanted, and he went straight to it. His skill and attention to detail are something I've been looking for, and I've finally found it! I can't wait to go back.
Fantastic experience: Such a great barbershop! Good ambience with friendly, talented staff. I've been to see a couple of the barbers and have always left satisfied with the result!
Fantastic experience: Beyond happy with the cut my brother got by Lui, you can really tell the effort and precision that was put into his service. My brother greatly appreciated the communication that Lui gave to ensure his cut was just as he wanted. We will definitely be coming to status barber to see Lui from now on! Thanks so much for this great experience and giving my brother a bust of confidence.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend getting your hair cut here! I took my son to get his hair cut, he’s very shy and nervous when it comes to hair cuts. The staff made it welcoming and were very friendly. Troy was absolutely amazing! Very welcoming, friendly and super funny! Definitely will be back! Thanks Status!!
Fantastic experience: Just moved to Victoria and was looking for a barbershop to give me a fade. Came across Status on Instagram and decided to book in with Troy. Fade was clean and Troy was an absolute pleasure to talk to. Nice, funny, and made me feel welcome to Victoria. Thanks Troy!
Fantastic experience: Erol gives a great straight razor shave! I get shaves all over the world and have never had a barber use the steam machine that Erol uses. It was great at keeping my face hot and moist and Erol did a great job with the razor.
Fantastic experience: I took my son in for his first barber experience in Victoria because he's from another province. The barber was polite and knowledgeable as to what we were doing to my son's hair. I didn't know where to go but I've heard of the place from other males that said 'it was a place to go'. It will be our monthly go to shop.
Negative experience: First of all he cut my sideburns too short, by a lot. I clearly said I do not want much off, just a trim to clean things up. He completely ignored or simply didn’t understand my questions about my trim/beard. It was obvious he was not able to speak English, I am not taking a heavy accent, but rather a total lack of comprehension, which is why I believe he cut my sideburns too short; because he didn’t understand what I wanted. I asked him several times if he understood, but he said yes; it was my mistake trusting he understood me. After he ruined my sideburns I refused the moustache trim and stop the beard trim after he made my sideburns match. Additionally if you are LGBTQIA+, or otherwise queer, I would avoid this place as I was repeatedly mis-gendered. As an Enby AFAB I politely corrected him three times and he persisted in mis-gendering me at which point I probably had a bit more bite and distress in my tone, but continued to repeat “please don’t miss-gender me”. After I left I had to pull over and cry because of the both the butcher job on my face and being mis-gendered.
Fantastic experience: got Hayden to give me a cut, and he was great! very knowledgeable and quite friendly dispute the fact that I had social anxiety. I love how you can book an appointment here, and it's easy to understand. I'll be back
Fantastic experience: Status is my new go-to spot for cuts and fades. Since my first visit, Hayden has consistently delivered excellent work. He’s skilled at various styles and is a great guy overall. I highly recommend both the barbershop and Hayden!
Fantastic experience: I visited Status for the first time today and have nothing but good things to say. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly, the music was great, and most importantly, I got an excellent haircut. Thank you to Hayden for a killer fade and beard trim. I look forward to my next visit.
Fantastic experience: Efficient booking, friendly atmosphere, and my barber (Keaton) was a great guy and knew exactly what he was doing. He perfectly understood what I was asking for and executed it just as I had hoped. Going to a barber for the first time is always a risky experience, but this was my best first-time-barber experience to date.
Fantastic experience: First time visit to Status - Busy spot with easy online booking, great upbeat establishment, super diverse and welcoming clientele. Stephanie (who is really cool and funny) gave me a really great cut and was super receptive and accommodating with my specific requests and questions (I have finicky hair lol). Best haircut I've had in a long time, and will be a repeat customer.
Fantastic experience: Was looking for a new option for getting my haircut and stumbled across Status while doing a search online. I should have known of them already given how long they’ve been established in Victoria. Booked with Stephanie and she was great. She really understood how to cut my hair and it came out great. Also helped me understand how to properly style it when needed. Would recommend for sure and looking forward to going back to have Stephanie help again. A+ service all around and the online booking is really helpful.
Fantastic experience: I had Keaton cut my hair. I was unsure of how to describe what I wanted, but he ended up understanding. I got exactly what I was looking for! Earlier in the year, I had Tbone cut my hair and it was amazing. I had gone to another barber in langford, and they did an awful job, so I was recommended Status Barbers, and they fixed it right up! Amazing experience, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Every time I come here I get the edge up I want. Shayla is my go to but Hayden was excellent as well. Everyone does great here and there is always a feeling of being welcomed. I love this place. If you're looking for a beard cut or fade especially with a beard fro or afro, this is the jam for you.
Fantastic experience: Me and my friends recently started coming to Status Barber cuz of my friend Lui. He does such amazing work every time we see him and am amazed after every cut. The environment is awesome with great music and friendly people. I truly recommend status barber and Lui if you want amazing haircuts. Thanku very much Lui for every cut.

Fantastic experience: Hayden was great! very good attention to detail, not afraid to take the time to make it perfect instead leaving tings unfinished. Pleasant conversation and good explanation of what he's doing to your hair
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Status for years now and it’s the best barbershop I’ve been to! Finding a barber that knows how to deal with curlier hair can sometimes be a struggle on the Island but I can confidently say that every cut, twist, braid etc. that I’ve had done here has come out perfectly. Also a special shoutout to Shayla for being the braiding specialist and being able to accommodate last minute appointments and or touch ups to both cuts and braids if something unexpected happens.
Fantastic experience: Got a fantastic cut from Stephanie. Booked online the same day which was super convenient. I also got to see her coach the shop apprentice while she cut my hair. Super cool to see mentorship like this in practice, this is how you build a talented team for the long term.
Fantastic experience: Status is a great vibe and Kaz always takes care of me. I’ve been using him for years and he always understands what you want and what to give you, taking his time. Best barber in the city.
Fantastic experience: We love this place, it's a go-to! We brought our 1 year old son here for his first hair cut and we weren't sure what to expect but he was in good hands with Rayne <3 She is so gentle and patient with kids and is really understanding if a kiddo is having a hard time sitting still. She is flexible with working with kids and I really highly recommend her! She did such a good job with how challenging it was as our son really didn't want to stay still for very long but she got it done, and it looked perfect! We will absolutely be coming back. We live in Comox and would come to Vic just to see Rayne for his next haircut <3 Thank you so much! 5/5 service :)
Fantastic experience: Great service from Zoe. She knew exactly what I wanted & has amazing styling/barber skills! (Especially with short hair on women) She asked the perfect questions to figure out exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend her and this place! Very satisfied customer.
Fantastic experience: I've been taking my toddler there for his haircuts for the past year or so (Done by Zoe) and she has always been very kind and patient with a wiggly boy in the chair. She listens to what we're looking for and has delivered a great cut each of the times we've been in. All the other staff are polite and greet us in a freindly manner. Top notch service! Thank you, Zoe!!
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Status for a while now and had my first cut with Lui. He gave me exactly the cut I was looking for and is really friendly. I’d definitely recommend him for people with thick & coarse hair!
Fantastic experience: This is the number 1 Barber Shop in Canada bar none. It's been 9yrs since I've been back and Tbone and his team, continue to polish the pearl until it shines. I'm blown away because Status Barbershop and staff understand The Moments Of Mastery. I AM proud to know Tbone the barber his staff..Peace and Love always. I can't wait to be back pure unadulterated adult pleasure at an amazing shop
Negative experience: Waited 45 mins past my appointment to get in with Troy the owner and at 5:10 another guy walked in and Troy took him and the apprentice offered to take me. My hair was pretty long and I told him I just wanted it cleaned up and to take as little as possible off since I was growing it out. I guess he doesn’t know how to cut longer hair so Troy and him switched clients. Turns out Troy doesn’t either or he just doesn’t listen. I asked for a little off the sides and back and again reiterated that I wanted as little taken off the length as possible to just clean it up. I’m left with a mid fade all the way around and a mop on top. If it was technically a sound haircut I might not write this review but despite it being not what I had wanted, around my ears are two different lengths and in the fade there’s still long hair chunks that were missed. Maybe I should have went to a salon. I wouldn’t recommend them unless you just want a run of the mill fade and even then uneven.
Steven, first off I would like to apologize for your displeasure with the service you received at my shop. As a small business, I take reviews, both good and the few bad, very seriously.
I take full responsibility for my actions, I was late getting to your haircut due to the client before you booking the wrong service which required more time to complete his haircut. Therefore, I offered you our junior barber, Louie. Although Louie is a very talented barber, he wasn’t able to provide you the service you required which involved scissors to cut longer hair which is why I switched you to back my chair. Thus, causing further delay for your service.
I hope your experience doesn’t hinder you from booking with us again. In hopes that you do, I would encourage you to review the descriptions of our hair services or alternatively call us to book with any of our senior stylists/barbers, Karen, Rayne, Stephanie, Zoe, Shayla or Kaz who provide superior scissor cuts on longer hair.
I am willing to offer you a full refund for the delay and dissatisfaction with your haircut and discuss this with you further. Please call and ask for Troy Wilson, owner of Status Barbershop, 250-590-7828
