MA Studio: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The team here is easily some of the best in the business. If you want a high-quality haircut and a friendly experience, make sure to book with Jason! He’s one of the best in the game.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this place since November 2025 and Ryan was always pleasant to talk to and have as a barber. There are two people that you would regularly deal with in life and you have to trust for routine maintenance and it is your mechanic and a barber. Ryan is a very good barber and he also did my son's first haircut and it looks fantastic. I highly recommend Ryan if you're looking for a barber. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Best Barbershop in Ottawa!
Fantastic experience: The best shop in Ottawa! Been getting my haircuts with Jason at MA’s for over two years and haven’t looked back since. The registration is straight forward and the option to book now and pay later is a great option to have for people who want a spot. From the environment to the cut, every step of the way is A1. Mike and his team have been holding it down and are great people to be around. Not to mention the lashes Alison does, never been there personally, but would recommend to many of my female friends
Fantastic experience: I’ve known this amazing business for years the owner are incredible flexible and so kind. It’s a safe environment for kids cuts my nephew loves going there. I love how natural Allison leaves my lashes (personally recommend the anime).

Fantastic experience: Amazing barber shop #1 in all of ottawa
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend MA Studio – Ryan is the guy to see! I recently went to MA Studio for a haircut and had an awesome experience from start to finish. Ryan was my barber, and he really took the time to listen to what I wanted. I asked for a fade, and he absolutely nailed it—super clean, blended perfectly, and just the right length. He made sure everything worked well with my hair type and face shape, and I left feeling sharp and confident. Hands down one of the best fades I’ve ever had. Ryan’s also just a chill, friendly guy who makes you feel comfortable right away. The vibe in the studio is relaxed and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about doing quality work. The space itself is modern, clean, and has a great atmosphere. If you’re looking for a fresh fade or just a solid haircut from someone who knows what they’re doing, definitely check out MA Studio and book with Ryan. You won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent skin fade haircut made by Ryan, friendly gentleman and really listened to what I wanted … clean and shape cut. The barbershop was clean and chill vibe. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at this barbershop. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and professional. My barber took the time to really understand what I wanted and executed the cut perfectly — clean lines, sharp fade, and great attention to detail. You can tell they truly care about their craft and their clients. I walked out feeling confident and fresh. Definitely my go-to spot from now on. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, had my hair cut by Nick L twice now. Both times very impressed especially for a student barber. They’ve done a really good job teaching him what he knows. Very impressed with the employees and environment in general.
Fantastic experience: I highly suggest this barber shop, great customer service I whent there with my kid and we both left with great haircuts. They can cut my straight hair and my son’s curly hair. They have experienced barbers that take their time for their haircuts. Highly suggest would come again
Fantastic experience: Awesome place. I took my son there and he got the first ever hair cut that he's truly happy with. Super reasonably priced for the level of service you're getting. We drove an hour to get here and it was totally worth the drive. 10/10 will be back.
Fantastic experience: Took nephew for a back to school cut. The place was packed and patrons kept pouring in. Long story short, the cut was great. Barber followed instructions to the letter. Fast and efficient. I can see myself being a regular there.
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, get the cut here, so affordable, and amazing barbers
Fantastic experience: First, if you live in the Ottawa area, I recommend visiting Ma Studio. From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel amazing, and the experience as a whole was impressive. Second, ask for Niko. He's a fantastic barber! He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and his attention to detail was excellent. I also really appreciated his advice on hair care, which showed his knowledge and genuine interest in helping me maintain my look.
Fantastic experience: Oh MA Studio, where do I even begin with you. It was a sunny day on September 23rd, I had just moved to Ottawa recently and had no friends or confidence and I was edging Homelessness. When I entered the shop I was nervous, quivering almost, but Nick welcomed me with a smile. Nick gave me a crispy dap up + a crispy cut. It was one of the better cuts of my life. I was new to the town and my barber took me in and made me felt like I belonged, something I don't think I've felt before. We talked about life while he took care of future mine. (with the cut of course) I walked out that barbershop with a fresh cut, smile, and confidence...something, I've never felt before. Now, I am a multi thousandaire as a Walmart floor manager and a aspiring fashionista. But Not above all, a frequent customer at Ma Studio with Nick the barber. And as long as I am in Ottawa, I will be coming back. Thank you Nick<3
Fantastic experience: Niko is by far the best barber I’ve ever gone to. This was my third time going to him and he once again blessed me with an amazing haircut. Highly recommend Niko and MA Studio.
Fantastic experience: I got a haircut from Nick twice, and he did a great job. I would definitely recommend going there to get a haircut. I will definitely come back for a haircut from Nick as he never fails to impress.
Fantastic experience: The younger barber, Nick, did an amazing job cutting my hair, the cut was great, exactly what I wanted and he asked questions about what i wanted while cutting my hair. On top of that, his customer service was amazing he made the enviornment welcoming and nice throught the whole cut. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Consistently excellent haircuts in a welcoming and professional atmosphere. Highly recommend their service!
Fantastic experience: John did an amazing job cutting my son’s hair. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Had an appointment with sunny. Arrived 5 minutes before the scheduled time and was greeted by a staff member. Sat down and proceeded to wait 25 minutes past the appointment time, no staff member said anything to me at any point while waiting. Eventually just left. Terrible service would not try again
Fantastic experience: Brought my 3 boys there for the first time. They all loved their haircuts. Top notch place. Only place to go for a real haircut

Fantastic experience: First time client with Michael, and I can easily say he gave me the best haircut and beard trim I've ever received to date at such an affordable price. He not only gave me the cut exactly how I envisioned it but also provided some great tips regarding beard growth. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a first-time cut here, and I will definitely be going back to him for my next hair appointment.

She suggested alternative lengths and made changes to what I had before and they turned out beautifully. Highly recommend! Thanks Alison!
Fantastic experience: Trent and all the barbers at this location are friendly and their skills are top notch. They made sure I walked away happy and gave the best recommendations for styling.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Trent. He gave me the perfect haircut and beard trim at such an affordable price. I couldn't believe how skilled he was. Not only did he listen to exactly what I wanted, but he also gave me some great styling tips. I left the studio feeling like a million bucks! I would highly recommend Trent to anyone looking for a top-notch haircut and beard grooming. He's definitely a talented barber who knows his stuff. Can't wait to go back for my next appointment! ♂️
Positive experience: i went to MA today and got a haircut by Nathan it was a great experience he explained everything in detail and what his tools did to my hair it ended up looking great, will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Just finished my cut today. Styles really impressed me. Takes his time , so detailed. I'm very happy with the outcome. Styles, thank you bro!
Fantastic experience: I went to MA Studio for my first time and got a fade, haircut, line-up, and beard from Sunny. The environment was very clean and welcoming by all of its staff members! Sunny, did not rush me, nor did he rush his own work of art, like most barbers do. He took his time, and followed all of my instructions, including giving me his input on what would look even better. He payed very close attention to detail, making the end result so satisfying, that I've now made him my new official barber, after having the same barber for the past 14 years! Sunny appeared to be very meticulous in everything he does; you can tell he has a passion for making his clients look much better walking out, than they did when they walked in! If you're looking for an amazing barber, I highly recommend using Sunny as your man!
Fantastic experience: Got my lashes done by Alison. My lashes are lightweight but also look full. She took the time to explain our “lash plan” to keep the integrity of my lashes and get the look I was envisioning. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have went several times, always left satisfied. They take their time giving you the perfect cut. Shoutout to Trent. Hope these brothers continue to do well in business
Fantastic experience: Alison is the best , for eye lash extensions in Ottawa absolutely amazing!
Fantastic experience: Michael has been my barber for 5 years now and deserves his flowers for opening up the best barbershop in the city. Everything is top notch, from the ambience of the shop, to the confidence boost reliably felt after a great haircut. I’d recommend booking an appointment online, their website is easy to navigate and rescheduling appointments is easy if needed. While I normally book with Michael, I booked with Jason recently as well and he did an equally great job.
Fantastic experience: I visited that Studio. They are amazing people. I love the services they offer. I did my hair cut with Trent and he has outstanding knowledge and personality. He is very good with hair cut machine. Definitely recommend this place for hair cut.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at MA STUDIO recently, thanks to Sunny and Fatima! Sunny, who recently started was offering free haircuts, showcased incredible skill and dedication. His passion for hairstyling and attention to detail truly shines through, he listened to every request of mine and I couldn't be happier with the result. Fatima, his sister, also deserves special mention for her amazing braiding skills. She graciously provided her services for free right after the haircut, and her intricate braids added a unique and beautiful touch to my look. I'd like to express my gratitude to the owner, Michael, for fostering such a welcoming and talented team. His commitment to creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere is evident, making MA STUDIO a delightful place to pamper oneself. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend MA STUDIO for not only their skilled professionals but also the warm and friendly environment created by Michael and his team.
Fantastic experience: This place is a proper barber spot, if you want a proper fade go see Michael he’ll make you look good.

Fantastic experience: Took my 2 sons (8&4) there today. Nice and clean. Someone was greeting us right away, we were lucky and got an appointment same day. The young guy (Ibrahim) who gave them the haircut was very polite, listened and followed my request, and he did such a great job with my boys hair. My little one is very active, but the barber was so patient with him. It was a very positive experience. Thank you! 5*

Fantastic experience: Truly, I cannot recommend this girl enough (I almost don't want to just to ensure I can always make sure I get an appt lol). I've been driving 30+ minutes every few weeks to see this lady since 2019 and I regret nothing!! You will be hard pressed to find someone as kind, accommodating, !clean!, gentle and talented as Alison!!! I always get compliments on how beautiful & natural my lashes look, even at 5D/6D volume fr I would die for her
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and very clean salon with the best staff! Alison is so talented at lashes and her attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Alison for my lashes for years! She is the best! Amazing attention to detail, so friendly and beautiful salon. I recommend her to everyone!!
