Dave Pettitt Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: So happy to have found Ash at Four Crows. Hair is one thing but really knowing how to cut a beard, I’ve found out the hard way a few times, is a whole other art form. Ash is spectacular. She listens, has suggestions, and every cut I’ve walked out with has been perfect.

James Wakefield Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Coming up to a year ago I was hunting around for a new barber and came across four crows on google. I thought I’d give it a try. Best decision I’ve made! During the cut I was just amazed at the quality and precision Nick had. I’ve never gone anywhere since. Nick always delivers the exact cut you want. Everyone there is super friendly and just great people. I would strongly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'm trans* and autistic and have been seeing Taylor for the last 2 years after moving to the Nanaimo area. She's not only a fabulous barber, but an A+ human who I look forward to seeing at my appointments, no matter my mood. Everyone in the shop is super friendly and welcoming, and I feel safer there than I do in most businesses in the city. I'll keep coming back for as long as they're open, even if I end up living an hour or more away

Dawson Krajnc Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been going to Four Crows since I moved to Nanaimo 2 years ago. Have tried other shops around and they are all very good but nothing can keep up to this place. Staff are always friendly you always get multiple greetings. I've had the pleasure of having Hailey and Nick cut my hair and they've both done a fantastic job. Awesome people and incredible atmosphere. Perfect example of what a barber shop should be

Kyle Parsons Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Hailey has been cutting my hair for years and it’s amazing every time, she is really great at what she does and is very nice I highly recommend her!

Bill Smith Published on Google 1 year ago

He takes great pride in his craft, and it’s wonderful to know that his attention to detail and welcoming approach made your visit enjoyable.

Dibs ! Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience for my first appointment. I've been trailing a few barbers as I'm new to the area. My appointment time was honored and all of the staff were friendly. Hailey did the cut as I asked, and made sure to check in at different times to ask questions about style preferences before she did something. Thank you

Liam Brown Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience, Nick understood my weird hair and gave me an excellent cut. Will be back.

Joygernaut M Published on Google 1 year ago

Jason Ellis Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience for my first time here! Reminds me of my barber shop in East Van. Funky atmosphere, friendly staff, and the results are top rate! Loving my haircut and will certainly be back.

Nikki Tremblay Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: We arrived exactly five minutes late for my son’s appointment with Mercedes. She advised us that she didn’t have time to properly trim his hair because 25 minutes was not enough. His haircuts never take more than 20 minutes but she was completely indifferent and told us that we were being charged for missing our appointment and would we like to reschedule. It was not even busy in the shop- one other barber had one person in his chair. A little flexibility and a kind attitude would have gone a long way. We won’t be back.

Ellen Mann Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This shop is great! While I don’t get my hair cut there, I do frequent the shop to buy grooming products for all the men on my gift lists, and I have bought gift cards for hair cuts and beard trims as well. I have a large predominantly male extended family, and everyone I have sent there has been more than happy to become regular clients. Mike, the owner, is professional and easy going, and his staff is always helpful and professional as well.

Syed Abid Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Huh!!!!!! I went to this Master Barber shop, I hope they are giving the best service. However, they don’t have any respect for their customers. They have been very rude to me and one of the employee has asked me to leave me when I came 15mins late, as if am working there. NO TOLERANCE, NO RESPECT, VERY RUDE. Very Very Worst behaviour have ever experienced. They have no respect towards customers, may be they’ll start respecting after seeing this review. Please keep in mind, if you are not serve respectfully, other services doesn’t matter.

Cale Birk Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best barbershop experiences I have had. Having been to barbershops across North America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand (as a bit of a hobby), I can say that my experience with Colby was second to none. Attention to detail, dogged determination that the customer has a great experience combined with authentic conversation: I will be back.

Luca Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very nice shop, worth the price. Ash was great, absolutely love the mullet. Will definitely be back!

J H Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been to several shops between Vic/Van/Nan now and the work Hailey did on my beard this morning at 4 Crows rivals, if not beats anything I have had elsewhere. I will be back on a regular basis. The shop has a great feel to it, friendly smiling faces, and delicious coffee. My only regret is I didn't leave a larger tip. Next time !!!

jay brown Published on Google 2 years ago
