Brothers Barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Love this place! First place i got my sons haircut when he turned 2, Hes now 8 and he loves his new fresh cut! very nice fade friendly staff and put some gel and styled it for him too :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic people, best owners, great hair cuts!
Fantastic experience: Hadn't had a cut in 2 years. What a pile of beauties in there world class. Ill never go else where.
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! I've been getting hair cuts here since they opened over ten years ago and always walked out super happy with how they treated me and of course with the service. Denis is super gentle, great barber and takes his time to make sure you walk out of there happy! All you guys rock, keep up the great work!
Negative experience: Edit: I'm going to lower my ratings because I've been totally ignored in the past while sitting in for 20 mins. Also, one of the reviews suggests some intolerant casual remarks that's clearly not right in todays society. Tried these guys for the first time; the barber gave an outstanding medium fade cut. I didn't bother to get my hair trimmed though...just to try something new. Realized later, I should have trimmed a bit, so went back the next day. To my surprise, the guy did it at no extra cost...really appreciate it! Exceptional expertise at such cheap prices. What more can anyone ask for!
Negative experience: Had the worst experience this time i went in . Been going here since last 2 and a half years and they never disappointed me but this time my experience was really bad as i gave proper instructions and even showed a picture of the hairstyle and hair length that i wanted but the guy totally ruined my hair.
Negative experience: I got a great haircut tonight at Brother’s Barbershop on Fort. I appreciated that they took me in without an appointment at the end of the day. The price was great and the cut was so good I tipped 50% on a $20 service. However, I will NOT be going back because this was yet another bro-y barbershop on Fort street. If you’re looking for a business that’s stuck in 1995 toxic frat-boy culture, congratulations — you’ve found it. From the moment I sat down, it was non-stop “bro talk” between the staff and some of the clientele that was not only grossly inappropriate but flat-out offensive. Jokes about roofies. Casual homophobia (I couldn’t tell if it was from the staff or the clientele but it was TOLERATED nonetheless). And all of this while there were two young kids in the chairs.
Fantastic experience: Ppl have their favorites but I have had my haircut by everybody who works there and never been disappointed. Same goes for my 3 sons. Love these guys!
Negative experience: I was quite disappointed with how I was treated. I understand that I came in at the very last minute the first time due to my work schedule, but when I returned the following day, I made a real effort to arrive before 5 PM because I really wanted to get my hair done. Unfortunately, they told me they could no longer accommodate me and just left me hanging without offering any possible alternatives. I even tried calling ahead to book an appointment, but no one answered the phone. It was especially disappointing since this place came highly recommended by a friend.
Fantastic experience: I went there it was really good fade thank you guys
Fantastic experience: Super great personable staff, awesome conversation.
Fantastic experience: Super amazingly wonderfully awesome people, great service, inexpensive, and very professional
Negative experience: Cheap but staff is insolent on no provocation at all, 'and' they only do a close-cut #1, no matter what you ask for. So if all you want is a pigshave, is your thing, this place is it. Perfect for military etc.
Fantastic experience: One of the best shops in the city, my personal favorite is Khan who has great skills. He's from Turkey and is extremely patient and kind while being quite skilled with several styles of haircuts
Fantastic experience: Classic barbershop,amazingly friendly staff, excellent cut and more than reasonable pricing
Fantastic experience: Really great cut, really incredible price, friendly service. This is going to be my new spot and I’d reccomend going to see Dennis!
Fantastic experience: Just went here to get a haircut it was a girl at the end of the shop she did an amazing job highly recommend. Also prices are the best
Fantastic experience: Great cuts, very affordable! Fun atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Can’t remember even one haircut I wasn’t happy with! I always go with Vick unless he is away…I’ve tried going with Dennis and Chelsea and they were both great too! Thanks guys for the no bs, chill shop you’re running!
Fantastic experience: Been going here for years now, it's always really exceeding my expectations every time I go and have never been disappointed!! I got lucky with Dennis today, who is a really talented Barber and has a great eye!!
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in Victoria hands down been going there for few years now! Never been disappointed! Always get exactly what I’m asking for! Shoutout to my man Dennis(Denito)! Super friendly and take his time to make sure you look perfect! thanks brother! The Owner is super nice as well! Go there! You won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: Don't let the price fool you, the staff here are really talented and do a great job. The place is always busy and they don't take appointments but the wait is never too long. Moved here in June and I'm relieved to have a solid barbershop.
Positive experience: They do good work but never seem to answer the phone when I try to make an appointment, and they don't very friendly to walk ins. They might want to consider hiring a receptionist or something.
Fantastic experience: Amazing barbershop, excellent service! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Always get a top notch haircut at Brothers. Never had a bad one here.
Negative experience: I asked for a simple shape-up haircut, not requesting much. However, my barber was too distracted by a soccer game to pay attention, resulting in a poor job on a very basic cut.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here since they opened, followed the brothers from their previous barber shop. Friendly place with reasonable prices. Lots of chairs so the wait usually isn’t too long.
Fantastic experience: Ive been getting my cut from Denis since 2021 and have never been disappointed. Come here every week, great environment. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: All people are really good here. Warm welcoming. Great price and always helpful. Vasim✅
Fantastic experience: The best haircut I have had in months
Fantastic experience: They do awesome hair cutting. The barbers are polite & have friendly nature in their DNA
Fantastic experience: The best in the business. I can definitely tell that they do one of the best skin-fade haircuts in the town. Just love the work, all the staff and the vibe of the place. Decent prices compared to the excellent service✨
Fantastic experience: Very satisfied with my haircut. Probably the best I've had in years.
Fantastic experience: Best barber shop in the city. Always great haircuts there $20 too!
Negative experience: I don't know if my barber was high or what, but it was embarrassing to be asked for a tip after I asked for a mid skin fade and got a very high one, and then tried to convince me it was mid when they'd made mistakes that forced them to go higher than they intended. Forgot to do the line I asked for, forgot to add product as requested, broke their buzzer, had to borrow one and commented on how they'd do a better job with a better buzzer... The cut was choppy and I had to even out some parts and trim lots of random hairs that were longer than the ones around them when I got home. Also, if you only take cash, which is very shady in 2024, you should advertise it clearly. There are signs everywhere with prices and this is not mentioned anywhere in the shop. I've come here a few times, tried many barbers. The good ones don't last. This place is cheap and quick, so good if you have a bunch of kids or just need a quick haircut. But if you're going on a date, have a job interview, are going to have photos taken... Go elsewhere. They also need to figure out a system to know who is next in line, because it's very frustrating as it is.
Fantastic experience: Great experience for a first-timer from out of town. I'll be back next time I'm in Victoria.
Fantastic experience: This place is so awesome. Reasonable price and best haircut.
Fantastic experience: Came into Brothers as a first timer with my sons upon multiple recommendations and I’ve gotta say they totally lived up to the hype. Both boys and myself were incredibly happy with the cuts/skin fades as they were exactly what we had asked for. A really good energy and vibe from everyone there. Boys are asking to go back again and I’m sure we will. Can highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get a good, decent haircut at a reasonable price.
Fantastic experience: 5 star best haircut in the city fair prices clean shop And fresh fades
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Went there for the first time and received a friendly greeting the minute I walked in the door. I didn't catch the name of the lady that cut my hair but it was a top notch haircut, she asked lots of questions and did exactly what I wanted.
Positive experience: I don't konw . If you have a refference picture they might give you a good cut. But for me I had no idea which hair cut I want and got myself a haircut that I hate the most
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop i been Perfect jobe better than Australia I'll be back brother barbershop thanks Nice place Victoria
Positive experience: Barbers near the back of the shop are bad. If you can wait for one if the front barbers it’s good value
Fantastic experience: Great service, cute awesome little shop, no stress at all just a casual walk-in and get what ever you want! It’s sweet. I recommend Khan, he had cut my hair and it’s one of the best cuts I’ve ever received, will be going back 10/10
Fantastic experience: I haven't gone anywhere else since they opened. The Brothers are family by now. Highly recommend.
Negative experience: I don’t normally write reviews on haircuts and I’ve had some terrible haircuts in my time. Asked for a trim to take alittle off and to clean up my dead ends had longer hair in the back. He ended up cutting all my hair off to the same length around my head probably took atleast 3 inches of hair off from the back when I asked for a trim. Very bad communication from barber to client
Fantastic experience: Wonderfully friendly barbers. They always show such kindness and patience with my toddler.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, great haircuts! Keep it up guys, you rock!
Fantastic experience: Great place for a haircut at a great price. Never been disappointed. Walk-in and cash only.
Fantastic experience: Best place for a quick cut. The place does get busy, so you will likely have to sit and wait but usuay wait times aren't too bad since there are lots of barbers.
Fantastic experience: First-time customer here and I walked in a bit nervously. Got selected by Dennis and immediately he started asking several questions about the type of haircut I wanted: skin-fade or no skin-fade, tapered at the back or boxed, and how I wanted it styled on top... I really appreciated him asking all of these questions. It made me feel like he was actually listening! In the end, I got a great haircut, much better than I expected. I wanted a very natural blend/transition. I did not want a skin fade (the type that most barbers give by default) as it doesn't suite me. I'm glad Dennis listened! Price is lowest in the city I'd say. Very affordable. Tip: I think it's important for first-time customers to show a picture of the haircut you want. This will really save a lot of guess work by the barber (and will save you a lot of disappointment!) Thanks for the great haircut (and fun conversation) Dennis!
Thanks for coming Jeff! You are welcome back any time
Fantastic experience: I love Brothers Barbershop! You are going to have a positive and welcoming experience every single time you walk into this barbershop. Each of the barbers will get to know you if you become a regular. Even when you aren’t a regular you will be treated as if you are a best friend. I tried out some of the other barbershops around town when I first moved here in 2020, they were all ok but I just felt my best at Brothers and always walk out with a great haircut. I usually have Dennis or Ocean cut my hair, and they are both very skilled and professional, as well as all the other barbers at the shop. Will continue going here for as long as I live in Victoria, and will suggest it to friends and family. Thanks for being such a great local business!!! <3
Thank you Neil for such a wonderful review! We will see you again soon
Negative experience: I did not anticipate the customer service to be this terrible. I clearly requested a haircut and also displayed a photo of how I wanted my hair to look. The person in charge only slightly cut my hair before ignoring or not taking into account my request not to reduce the side line. Additionally, when I expressed my dissatisfaction to her, they frowned a little and during the process s/he had a small cut on the finger (I even asked if s/he was okay). They then instructed me to return after bandaging, but when s/he did, they stated, "It's done; just ask someone else to fix it if you don't like it," in a rather harsh tone. Adding up-to this they didn’t even bother apologizing to this and the head barber kept defending the employee responsible!!! and felt like he was racist. Its a huge DISAPPOINTMENT!!! Never going here again :)
Hey Yash, while we understand that not everyone has he best experience with us we do really always try and deliver the best service and haircuts to our clients. We don't however tolerate rasicm in way from our staff, to eachother or to our customers so we are a little confused and honestly upset by your comment. We're sorry you had a bad experience but we would happy to have you back if you are willing but please don't label us as something we are not.
Negative experience: Worst customer service ever!!! Its a very good thing to defend your employee but not when your employee is in fault. Even though one of the barber offered to fix it and we were trying to tell our dissatisfaction. The head barber(I assume) kept on defending the employee saying our tone was not appropriate whereas we were only showing our dissatisfaction. Please show some respect and at least show the courtesy of apologizing when you are wrong instead of showing attitude! (P.S. My friend literally told her and showed her the style he wanted which she completely ignored and argued that he didn’t let her know)
Fantastic experience: Came into brothers barbershop for a emergency haircut for my brothers graduation and Waseem did me wonders. He cleaned me right up and was super knowledgeable about my hair and price is good.
Fantastic experience: Nice and friendly barbers. It’s a walk in barbershop and they only accept cash payments.
Fantastic experience: One of the best. Been going here for the last 5 years. Excellent service
Fantastic experience: Reasonable and quick service, great haircuts. No appointment needed. Just walk in and wait for your turn..
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Wasim. I have visited him three times so far, and each time the results have been consistently amazing. It can be difficult to find a barber in Victoria who is skilled with beards, but Wasim definitely knows his craft. Hands down the best barber in Vic!
Negative experience: “Ocean” the one that spoiled my hairstyle. Worst customer service ever. Rudest and worst ever barbershop experience. Charlie fixed it for me, thanks to him, I can atleast look not as cheap as ocean made me out to look!
Fantastic experience: You can walk right in and enjoy a quick quality cut at half the price of the guys around the corner.
Fantastic experience: Always the best service and my boys have never had a bad haircut. ❤️
Fantastic experience: I really love the service at this place. No appointments, just show up and wait for your turn. Excellent service every time. Even my son who is 6 and very fidgety loves coming for his haircuts here. Truly a gem of a place.
Fantastic experience: They care of everyone equally and fairly, a great option for a good cut at a fair price
Fantastic experience: Best price I've found! Great guys who really do an awesome job. Super friendly! My new favorite barber shop!
Fantastic experience: Just a straight-up classic barbershop with great pricing and talented people. I always get such a great haircut there. I highly recommend this place.
Negative experience: I would not recommend them if you have Afro or any type of black hair. I tried different one of them but still disappointed.
Positive experience: Great price, great service and super trendy cuts for men. My son will only go here. Issue is cash only.
Fantastic experience: Walked in and got right in a chair. All the barbers there were friendly and welcoming. And the feel of this place is down to earth and real. Not over done or structured
Fantastic experience: Nicest staff ever! Plus they always make me look better (I need all the help I can get).
Positive experience: I have gone there quite a few times but to rate it poorly because of one bad hair cut would not be fair. My last hair cut was done yesterday I must say it was the worst hair cut I have ever had. I have had almost all of them do my hair but yesterday took the cake. She was a female worked 22 years cutting hair. I wanted only a half inch off the top and a gradual #2 to #3 there is no way it was gradual and my bangs are horrid. The next time I go in will definitely not be her. I was so mad I just left.
Negative experience: got the worst haircut in my life here today. there are some rly good barbers here but you gotta know them
Fantastic experience: Great price on haircuts/beard-trimming. Thoroughly enjoy the welcoming atmosphere. They increased their prices a while ago but this is definitely my preferred shop for experience//price-point. $16 cut $4 tip... 20's galore
Fantastic experience: Absolutely 10/10. I had a one day weekend and it just so happened to be Sunday, when brothers is closed. I have a job on Wednesday, so I was pretty much out of opportunities to get my hair looking less scruffy. I checked their schedule and they open at 8:30 - that's impressive! Unsure of what to expect traffic-wise, I showed up 10-15 minutes early. Walking in, Arnell (Arnel? I sure hope I spelled your name right!) was quick to greet and get me started. We had a good chat and he did an incredible job on my fade. I didn't realize until I was driving home that he did that all in just over 15 minutes!! Well done Arnell and team - keep up the great work. UPDATE 04/25/22: I have since been in to see Elle and Ocean. Both were quick, pleasant to talk to, and delivered top-notch work. I'm consistently thrilled with this barbershop; it seems every member of the staff enjoy what they do, and do it well.
Positive experience: Waseem is a very good barber. I always bring my kids to him to cut their hair and they like him.
Fantastic experience: Awesome stylists , always leave with a smile and feel so welcome when I come through door and always get a wave if I'm just walking by totally recommend
Fantastic experience: All right, listen to me. You don't go to Brothers Barbershop for the haircut, you go there for the experience. Everybody is friendly and they listen to you so make sure to know what you want because they will deliver
Fantastic experience: 5/5. Did a great job. Quick. They take cash ONLY. Had faith in me to come back and pay him which i did. Recommended.
Positive experience: Updated rating: It's the best priced cut in town and a great atmosphere but potential clients should factor in the time and costs associated with downtown parking and long waits up to an hour and potentially denial of service due to insufficient staffing. Visited the downtown location 3 days in a row prior to closing but they were unable to take me.
Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic. I walked in on a Thursday afternoon and got a seat right away. Facilities were very clean and well decorated. Staff was very friendly and professional. Got a great haircut at a great price!
Fantastic experience: Been going here for last three years. Today was my last day of haircut since I’m moving. I gotta tell you that the service from the start of the doorstep till the end of the haircut is phenomenal. The price for which the service is provided is jaw dropping. I have tried out almost all the barbers at this place and they have been exceptional. I referred it to my friends and they left their usual 30$+ haircuts to these professionals Keep going guys!
Fantastic experience: Brothers is simply the best haircut experience I've had. Every time I go, we have fun, they provide an excellent cut (beard trim too) & I leave feeling sexy and refreshed. You owe it to yourself to give Brothers a try.
Positive experience: 8/10 times i’ve gone here i’ve gotten a great haircut at a very reasonable price! The barbers give great skin fades and clean lines. It can be a little hectic sometimes when its busy as the shop is slightly cramped.
Positive experience: Not anymore value for money. They charged me $16 ..way more than I paid just 2months ago. Have to look for alternatives. Service is friendly though.
Positive experience: This place was recommended by a good friend. I have only been a couple of times, but each time it was a very good experience. They listened to what I wanted and made some very good insight on where I could improve on my style.
Fantastic experience: Best place to go for a hair cut. My son and I went for a cut a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with the service. Been going to brothers for years now.
Fantastic experience: I have to admit my bias: Vic, one of the brothers, has been giving me the best hair cuts for the better part of a decade, so i can't help but give five stars. Anything less would be dishonest. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Pure excellence, in all regards.
Negative experience: I have been there multiple times. I used to get a nice haircut every time except today. The reason is that one of the staff(the guy who's next to the entrance door) tries to just quickly finish his job and doesn't care about anything else. This time he literally just spent 4 minutes to finish my hair. The other staff however, are very professional and actually care about the job that they're doing. I am not quite sure why he did this to me. I didn't want to get into an argument or anything so that's why I just thanked him and walked out but next time I won't get a haircut from that guy anymore.
Fantastic experience: Got cleaned up by this barber shop the other day. I would hazard a guess that they made me look at least 10 years younger. They were friendly prompt and competitively priced. If you want to shave 5 years off your look give them a visit
Fantastic experience: One the best haircuts I have had. Kind staff and really cheap as well.
Fantastic experience: Best barber shop hands down. The folks there are awesome. My son (4yr old) loves it! Only people he'll allow to cut his hair. That to me says volumes about these guys. Being that my son is autistic and theee guys always put him at ease.
Always happy to have you and your son come in for cuts Michael! Thanks for the 5 star rating
Fantastic experience: They do a great cut good price $13 but I pay them $20 cuz they do a good job. I never get hair cuts in a barber shop but now I Can't stop going to this place Brother's barbershop
Keep coming back for the best cuts in the Westshore! Thanks for the 5 stars Harley!
Fantastic experience: First time visiting here and im sold! Best cut my kid has ever had. I didn't get the barbers name, but regardless great cut.
Positive experience: Great place to get your haircut gret price n good at what they do..friendly environment lively
Fantastic experience: . More than just a barber shop to me. It's like a family thanksgiving dinner. Everyone razzing each other, joking and having a banter. All the employees play a part in the family dynamic. Vic and Artor are the head of the house, Koko the black sheep kid, Dennis the weird cousin who no one understands... You get the idea. I love joining this wacky family at the dinner table every couple of weeks for a hair cut. Highly, highly recommended. Pass the gravy and the potatoes please.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Mo (Mohammad) for the service. Mo was very accurate about the details and took his time to satisfy exactly what I asked. Strongly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service. Thank you very much Koko for the amazing haircut. I would give this barbershop 6/5 if I could
Positive experience: Reasonable priced fast service with attention to details. Always left feeling good and looking sexy! Extra props to staff for wearing masks and following precautionary measures
Fantastic experience: New location in Langford is awesome!! Thanks for being so amazing with our 3 year old today when he decided he'd had enough!! I hope your ears aren't bleeding from his screams!! You guys always rock!!
Thank you for coming that doesn’t bother us at all we are happy to be able to help and take care of him , again thank you so much
