The Canton Corner Barbershop: Reviews
Positive experience: A little expensive, but never a bad cut.
Fantastic experience: Super pleasant! Been helped by 5 different people and have had good results each time!
Negative experience: I want to rate higher, but it’s unfortunate that each time I visit, I’m left disappointed. This could just be a me problem, it seems many people have positive outcomes. The first time I visited, my hair was cut very uneven, noticeable enough that my coworkers asked “what happened” to my hair. I called the shop to see what they could do. I was told they might be able to help me out, since they often get people trying to get free haircuts. I went into the shop to explain my situation, a different hairstylist was very nice and took a look at my hair, she said it was the most uneven she’s seen in a long time. She helped me out but unfortunately my hair had to be cut much shorter than what I initially asked for. Fast forward a couple months, I go in for another haircut, show pictures of exactly what I want, and my hair is cut significantly shorter than what I presented. I don’t think I’ll be back. I’m sure people with shorter cuts will be satisfied, but I’ve been continuously disappointed.
Fantastic experience: Today I went to the Canton Corner Barbershop for the first time as I just moved to the neighborhood. What a great experience. Everybody is so friendly and kind. Sara did an amazing job and I fully recommend the place.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I always leave happy with my haircut. Danielle and Sara are awesome and they take their time. Every barber is talented, professional and kind!
Fantastic experience: In town and needed a shave and haircut. Great place. Very professional.
Negative experience: Wanted a fresh cut before my trip next week, so I came here since it’s local… Until now, I’ve never left a barbershop feeling like I wanted to shave my head bald when I got home. When I put my glasses back on, I was so appalled by what I saw that I couldn’t even be bothered to ask the barber to fix it cause I just wanted to leave the place as quickly as I could. I brought in reference photos and the barber didn’t even take his time to look at it and see what it looked like or ask me any questions on how I wanted it. Now I just look like a bald mushroom. No haircut has ever made me so feel so ugly and embarrassed to be alive as the one I just got from here. There’s no fixing what was done to my hair, I’ll either have to shave it all off or wear hats for the next couple months.
Fantastic experience: Going to a new barber always gives me so much anxiety, once you find your person, it’s like you’re married to them. I was in town for the weekend and I desperately needed a haircut, so I took a chance on a local friend’s recommendation. I needed my beard trimmed, and I usually get a bald fade. My hair is very curly and not just anyone does a good job with curly hair. Let me tell you… best haircut I’ve ever had. I didn’t catch her name unfortunately , but she was at the station with the Trick-Flow stickers on her mirror. She cuts hair like she’s possessed, I mean that in the best way possible. Go with confidence, have a cold Boh while you wait. Pay them well. It’s worth it.
Fantastic experience: Eric is the best barber I have ever had. My hair looks amazing every time- it grows in great and although it looks cleaned up, I never feel like I have to grow into loving my hair cut - perfect every time! Won’t trust my hair to anyone else !
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for the freshest cut in Baltimore, hit my boy Eric. Always reliable, great conversation, and very time efficient. Eric's cuts are a cheat code!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my hair cut here specifically by Eric for a year now- I’ve been to a number of different shops in Baltimore and he by far is the best there is. The most important thing to me is consistency in how the cut looks and flexibility in schedule and he nails both aspects. I’m glad I stumbled across this place and got connected specifically to Eric because I plan on being a customer for a long time!
Fantastic experience: Eric has been cutting my hair for about 3 years now and I refuse to go see anyone else. I go in there and he remembers exactly what I get and does a great job every time. If you’re looking for a good fade, you gotta see Eric.
Negative experience: Avoid the barber who works in the far corner, there’s a reason everyone else was busy and he was sat outside trying to poach a client. Doesn’t understand what a fade is, and shaved whole back and side down to a 1 and even clipped into the top of the head. It’ll take months to grow out to top of sides to be able to get a decent fade now
Fantastic experience: Great local barbershop. I travel for work, and I'm always hesitant of new places. But eveyone here is spot on. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new barbershop.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely phenomenal! I brought my autistic son here and they were phenomenal. He was nervous about the clippers but they were so patient with him and everyone was encouraging and telling him how good he looked
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your business. I know as an owner im bias, every one of our barbers really try to fulfill all of our great customers needs! Thanks again for recognizing it
Negative experience: If I’m paying $35 for a 30 minute haircut, the most basic expectation is that you listen to what I ask, pay attention to your work, and not rush like a mad man.
Fantastic experience: They are the best here. My son looks great. We were walkins and they took us within 15 minutes. Very kind. We won't be going anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Tyler Smith is the absolute man. I’ve been with him a few times now and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does and isn’t there to just show up, get a paycheck, and go home. He teaches at the hair school as well so that speaks for itself! Attention to detail is on point Chats on point Fresh cut and enjoyable experience guaranteed
Fantastic experience: Never had a bad haircut here. All of the barbers are friendly and give a consistent trim.
Fantastic experience: I moved to Baltimore a little over a year ago and settled in Canton. After 3 months of not getting a haircut, I stumbled upon Canton Corner and I’ve never gone back. My barber, Tyler Smith, continues to amaze me with each and every visit. I walk out looking fresh and honestly, his haircuts really help boost my self esteem. I only ever get good haircuts here and Tyler is my guy so if you’re looking for a fresh fade/line up/beard trim, you should hit him up! The other barbers are talented and give excellent cuts as well! Also, the decor and vibe of the place is sick as hell!
Fantastic experience: No bullshit, good haircuts, fair price. They take walk ins, but are often very busy so best to make an appointment on their site.
Fantastic experience: Best place to get a haircut, hands down! I’ve been coming to this spot for over 6 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. A great haircut every time with really personable and kind staff!
Fantastic experience: Amazing shop tucked into Canton. Service is always fast, the haircuts are always clean, and everyone who works there is always professional. Big shout out to Tyler, he’ll have you looking like a million dollars on your way out the door. Couldn’t recommend the shop or him more.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to The Canton Corner Barbershop for years and have gotten over 20 haircuts here. Every single time, they deliver an excellent cut with great attention to detail. The barbers are skilled, friendly, and create a relaxed atmosphere. Whether it’s a simple trim or a fresh new look, I always leave satisfied. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality barbershop in the area!
Fantastic experience: I knew nothing about Baltimore before I moved here from out of state. I found a row home in Canton that I loved, but knew nothing about Canton. Knowing not a single person in the city, I thought to myself; the "pulse" of a good neighborhood could always be found at the local barber shop growing up... so I walked the block over to The Canton corner Barber Shop... fast forward two years later, I have been walking here every two weeks since then for my skin fade; great cuts, great people, awesome neighborhood atmosphere, and an incredibly helpful online scheduling app for those with a busy lifestyle... I highly recommend, 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for 3 years. Loved every haircut!
Fantastic experience: This place is great! Super friendly staff, great environment, and great customer service. I get my haircut with Josh, who provides both fantastic haircuts, and customer service!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, amazing haircut, friendly barbers who care about your hair and usually remember you by your next appointment.
Fantastic experience: Great environment and great people, cut my hair amazing. Def will be going back sometime 10/5 stars
Negative experience: My husband has been coming here 8 years of his life. The past 5-6 times the haircut and beard trim are not what he’s asking for. This time today, he’s upset he spent 45 dollars on his hair cut for it to be NOTHING he asked for. “Hard part” is not existent. Asked for a beard trim and cut almost all of it off and he hates it. It’s sad how things change. He likes everything about the barber shop and the environment but it’s just not the same anymore.
Kaylea I’m very sorry to hear about your husbands experience today. We value all of our loyal customers and strive to provide the best quality service around. If you could email me at [email protected] with a little more specifics of your husbands services so I can handle internally as well as offer your husband his next services on me. Thank you Larry Avara
Fantastic experience: Tried Canton Corner Barbershop today and had the good fortune of having Josh cut my hair. A great cut and really nice guy. I will definitely be back.
Negative experience: Been here a few times….once was very good but then the guy quit. Had a female, she was alright. Another guy, a little crooked. Another girl, very crooked…what I’m saying is it’s a place of inconsistency and fresh-from-barber-school barbers….i guess unless you go inside and demand someone with experience? But the mistakes made on my hair should’ve been grounds for not graduating barber school.
We are very sorry the service we provided you did not meet your expectation. All of our barbers strive to do the very best job satisfying each and every one of our awesome customers. At times we are cutting over 100 customers per day with a smile. Every barber that starts in ANY barbershop comes out of Barber School, we at Canton Corner never throw
someone directly out of Barber School into our shop we always require them to apprentice and watch our seasoned barbers before we allow them to cut anyone behind the chair, so I’m not sure where your comment about coming right out of Barber School comes from. All the barbers working today have years of experience. Again we are very sorry for your unsatisfactory service hopefully you will give us the opportunity to make it right.
Fantastic experience: Great service and cuts no matter who you go to. Professional and fast. My go to from now on. Eric did an awesome job on my hair and beard.
Fantastic experience: This place is great, I have gone to a different person each time and never had a cut I did not like! Everyone is really friendly and I love that they take appointments!
Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best barbershop experience I’ve ever had and I travel all over the country for work. My man “D” has been cutting professional athletes hair for years, he even has the pictures on the walls to prove it. He goes above and beyond for his customers. Not only did he do a hot towel shave he exfoliates and moisturizes after your beard cut. This felt more like a spa than a barbershop. Your chair vibrates and massages your back. He trimmed my hair, beard and eyebrows. All the stops were pulled out. If you want a top notch hair cut and experience you need to go see “D”, you won’t regret it!
Negative experience: Terrible experience. I am here for work and needed a haircut before a vacation to Vegas. If you’re looking for a fade, this is NOT the place to go. I was left with patches and uneven sides. It was so terrible I did not even want to go to my vacation anymore. I’m so thankful I walked around the block and found “Canton Barbers,” now he IS a pro. What he did was art, he was able to correct these mistakes and saved my vacation.
Fantastic experience: I just moved to Baltimore and had a haircut here for the first time. I didn’t book an appointment but I didn’t wait longer than 5 minutes. Josh did an amazing job and I’m happy to have found the right place for my haircuts. Definitely recommend. Especially Josh!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get a cut. Everyone barber I have had three is fantastic. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I have been to many of the barbers at this shop and all have given me a great haircut and it looks the same each time. I also like the fact they accept credit card.
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I've ever gotten. My new regular. While I do hate my favorite places becoming popular/packed, this place deserves recognition.
Fantastic experience: Sara cuts me and my husband we love her and will probably know her for a long time to come, she’s the busiest in the shop but there are other good barbers here to just pay attention when you’re in the waiting area and just point to the person you think you may want to do your hair, the owner may not permits this but it’s not frowned upon as such others have stated. Grab a Natty and chill don’t be a Ken you have choices at every barber shop it’s up to you to pay attention to them.
Fantastic experience: I am here in Baltimore for work, and I was very apprehensive to get a haircut outside of my place back home. I went to The Canton Corner Barbershop, and it was a great experience. Alanna (I believe her name was, blonde haired young lady) gave me a wonderful high skin fade with a hard part. I daresay it's a better haircut than I've gotten back home. Thanks for putting me at ease and providing a really great haircut. If I have to get my hair cut again in Baltimore, there's only one place I am going.
Fantastic experience: Great local option for a reasonably priced haircut. It has a pleasant home-town, local feel and ambiance inside. Attentive barbers that know how to blend hair. I like the included neck shave and optional eye-brow trim. Rarely a long wait if one does the online reservation.
Positive experience: This place is completely average. I’ve been here at least 10 times and have not gotten the same barber twice. You can’t request a specific barber online. It appears to be a revolving door of barbers. The last guy didn’t even have a license displayed or anything and wasn’t in the tip book either. Of my 10+ cuts, I’d say about 8 of the 10 haven’t said a word to me, and don’t show me any progress along the way so they turn you around after sitting there for 45 minutes and if you don’t like it it’s too late.
Fantastic experience: Very good customer service. They always have good staff working, who actually know how to cut hair.
Fantastic experience: I used Tom's up on Conklin Street for over a decade, but they closed down back in December or January, and since then, I've been using Canton Corner. I've been there three times, and yesterday had to have been my best cut there yet. Alana did a great job, and while everyone there is super friendly, she explained all the various numbers she did for my cut. I'll be using her from now on.
Fantastic experience: Been going going for several years, I've had multiple people cut my hair and hardly any complaints. Would recommend.
Positive experience: This place is amazing. Family owned barbershop. Barbers for generations. I was gifted to be cut by Larry. Great conversation, amazing insight. And he cut me up good. I went in with hair and beard all scraggly. He made me look and feel great. I cannot recommend this place enough. 15 out of 10. I will tell everyone I can to go here Edit: I had the displeasure of going to get my haircut here again. The barber "Scott" (I only know his name from an associate talking to him) didn't even try for a conversation. He was more concerned with talking sports with the client next to me. I showed him a picture of what I wanted (Thor Ragnarok haircut) and he said "I don't do designs" even though the design is 2 lateral cuts making a v on each side. He also did not offer product or texture as all the barbers around him were doing. Don't get me wrong, it is a good haircut. And I still tipped. But I'm pretty upset about the difference in my last few cuts versus this one. I will schedule in the future, and I will not let Scott cut my hair again. Quite disappointed. I hope Larry reads this
Fantastic experience: Sara gave me the best haircut I’ve had in years. Tried this place for the first time and it will become my new go-to spot.
Fantastic experience: This place is great! Best barbershop in town. You can get a haircut from anyone here and they are all very skilled. You can tell they make sure their people are skilled.
Fantastic experience: I made my appointment same day, went in with a bunch of hair I was getting cut off. Josh did an amazing job, it was clean and everyone seemed very friendly. You've earned yourself a loyal customer.
Fantastic experience: The best barber shop in the city. I went here for a shave and shape up prior to my wedding and Larry absolutely had me feeling like a million bucks. I regularly come here for my haircuts and I can say the same about every barber who I have worked with. The cuts and services are affordable and are always top quality. This is absolutely the barber to go to in Baltimore hands down. They have earned a life time customer in me for sure!
Negative experience: I asked for no more than an inch to be taken off the top. I stated I’d rather they cut less than too much as with curly hair taking off just a little weight causes everything to spring up. The barber took off at least 3 times that. All was fine until the barber decided to texturize my hair without asking me first. Apparently as they were dry combing my curly hair they felt the need to get rid of “the poof” effectively destroying my curl pattern. Final results were exactly what I asked them NOT to do. Plus the addition of an uneven and and poorly outlined cut. This barber needs to know that even if you don’t know how to cut curly hair. You should always keep the fundamentals.
Fantastic experience: Awesome haircuts at a fair price. Staff is super friendly. Very organized and efficient. Appointments can be made online, but they will take walk-ins until usually 1-2pm.
Fantastic experience: I have made appointments with multiple different barbers, and have come as a walk in on a few occasions. No matter who cuts my hair I always leave with a great haircut!
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for about 8 months so far and they have consistently done a great job. Really good skin fade for a really good price. Talented inquisitive and fun barbers
Negative experience: Came in with long hair specifically asked just for some thickness to be taken out and add some layers while just shortn the back so it's more off the shoulder. I got a long fad buzz style on the side and the top shortn inches!! I even showed them a photo and it's nothing like that! I never had a shop give me a hair cut completely different then I asked as this one. I would leave negative stars if I could. If you have long hair, go to a salon this isn't the place for you.
Fantastic experience: Best men’s Barber in Baltimore. I have pretty standard Hair, but Canton Corner is alway able to give me a fresh cut. Highly recommend. +++ free beer while you wait!!!!
Fantastic experience: You need a #Barber? I am very picky! My #beard ♂️literally grows in thousand #directions and is difficult to tame. I tried so many different barbers in my home pocket. But nobody could give me the complete treatment ♂️, how I like it. cantoncornerbarbers is a 20 minute ride ️ and located in #Baltimore. But worth every minute! Easy #booking system . Great #communication and a #friendly and easygoing #crew. A ton of #fun and they know what they do! Best #haircut and #beardtreatment I had here in the #USA. The interior is #stylish and reflects a #classicstyle that I really admire with a lot of love for the little details. I was amazed and can highly #recommend. Best about it? ❓❓❓ It is a #familybusiness going into the fourth #generation. Read on their homepage about the great background of the Avara-Family. And #veterans will feel home easily, as well. The #batch of a #koreaveteran tells a #story. Thanks to cantoncornerbarbers
Fantastic experience: Superb experience with hair cut and beard trim. My barber, George, was very talented, worked very efficiently, and was a great conversationalist. What more do you want from a barbershop. Very much recommended.
Fantastic experience: This place is great! I've been there a few times now after moving to the city and they've always given me a great cut. George is great and did an amazing job!
Fantastic experience: I loved the atmosphere, I got a great haircut and the price can't be beat. I will be back. Update - this is my regular place now.
Fantastic experience: I drive 30 minutes every Sunday to get my haircut by Scott Mitchell. Most barbers get my haircut right 70% of the time, but Scott hits it out of the ballpark—every single time. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here, I was a walk in and was seen within 15 minutes. Sara was my barber and she was thorough and professional, will definitely be a repeat customer
Positive experience: Been coming here for years. Always good. Just some feedback for you all. Full disclosure, Did not have appointment. I always just do the walk in’s. Went in for a cut at 5:15pm and was told walk in’s not accepted past 5pm? Website says open until 7. So seems a little strange to have the cut off be 2 hours early. However people coming home from work I get it. There is a rush. However, There were 3 barbers total without customers. Literally sitting in their chairs texting on the phone, 0 customers in the waiting area. To be clear the gentleman who explained the situation to me was very polite and clear and just following the procedure. Just seems like an awful policy to have.
Hi Brandon, I appreciate your feedback on the walk in "policy" for Canton Corner. I apologize for the appearance of not wanting to service you our customer, we wish we had to staff service everyone, believe me. Unfortunately, when you walked in last night all of the available Barbers were waiting for the next set of appointments coming into the barbershop and if they would have taken you the appointment customers would have been left waiting. The 2hr cutoff allows the barbers to continue to serve appointment customers and makes sure everyone is finished by closing time. We are looking to add more barbers and then we can extend the time to accommodate walk ins up to closing time. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience, we hope to see you in the future. Thanks Larry
Fantastic experience: I’m very picky when it comes to getting my haircut. I’ve been living in Baltimore for 2 years, and I’m kicking myself for not coming to this business sooner. George was really nice and easy to talk to, and he was very meticulous with the way that my hair was cut, which I was super appreciative of. Without a doubt I’ll be returning, and you should too!
Negative experience: Asked for it to be rounded in back, even showed her a picture(see below), she tapered it to a point; didn't trim my neck; sideburns were very uneven, with one coming to the bottom of the earlobe and one extending past the bottom of my ear(I fixed that one best I could with razor). First time going here, will be the last.
Good Evening Andrew. I’m very sorry for your experience at our shop. As owners we really do strive to make sure all of our customers are 100% satisfied with the haircuts they receive from our barbershop. We would like to make this right. If you have time tomorrow before 1 you can come in the shop and Tina will take care of you if not you can give me a call at 410-285-7820 and ask for Larry and I will take care of you when it is convenient for you.
Negative experience: I've been here twice now. The first time was great. Nice, progressional barber. All was good. But the second time (and they don't let you book a certain barber) they gave me a student. She was lost the whole time and needed the teacher / boss to help her. Definitely not the professional experience I expected.
Hi Jeff this is Larry Avara, I want to apologize for your experience at our Barbershop. All of our barbers our licensed barbers in the state of Maryland. Even though most of the barbers that cut in our shop do come from our barber school they are not students when they are here. No matter how long our barbers have been cutting they always try to put out the very best work and will ask me for any suggestion on a challenging cut to make sure customers are completely satisfied. Again I apologize and please let me know if I can do anything else
Fantastic experience: Awesome place friendly people. My barber Matt did an excellent job. He took his time and his attention to detail was on point. Thank you Matt.
Fantastic experience: Excellent barber shop! Every time I come here I know I'm going to leave with an amazing haircut. All of the barbers here are talented and extremely friendly.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend! They accept walk-ins but you can also schedule an appointment. Today I had my hair cut with Chris. He is very professional and we had a great conversation while he was cutting my hair. I’m definitely coming back while I’m in Baltimore.
Fantastic experience: Great barbershop, staff is very friendly and they hold great conversations. Always get my haircuts with either Josh or Scott. Great atmosphere and great haircuts
Fantastic experience: I can’t emphasize enough how picky I am about my hair. With that said, I can’t recommend these guys enough. This team of hair perfectionists are hand selected from a barbor school in the area and always seem to deliver a fantastic experience. Each one of them take time to understand everything you’re looking for and offer an attentive experience that you can trust. Great perks- you always get a hot neck shave, there are natty bohs to enjoy, and there’s a rewards program that inevitably leads to a free cut. Special shout out to Florida Rob who has provided what was essentially a hair consultation as I was trying to figure out what I even wanted. Just got my haircut from Chris who delivered a great experience and quality conversation. Point being, I trust every barbor there.
Fantastic experience: Always wonderful and professional. I have never been disappointed with the results no matter who was cutting my hair. I can’t recommend them enough.
Fantastic experience: Great barbershop! The staff is super friendly and Sara is amazing. Glad to find my new barbershop since I just moved to the area! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Chris has been my go to. I love their booking it makes things super easy. Shop is awesome and has great aesthetic. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Came in with the groom for a wedding and I'm pleased to say it was awesome. You can tell the history is serious, and so is the customer service. The owner cut my hair, and we even had Baltimore BOH while we got lined up. Overall fantastic!
Negative experience: I had a great experience previously. This time was much different. The hairdresser seemed very inexperienced. I'm sure they're understaffed. Good luck retaining customers when I think you have someone without a license cutting hair. She didn't know what the buzzer sizes were and just scissor cut it all. Very uneven cut. I asked for 2 inches on top and had to repeatedly ask for it shorter. The front was very long on one side since she left it parted. She would comb sections and cut. Instead of holding the comb steady at the right length, the comb would just keep moving. The trimming around my ears and back of my neck was awful and not straight. She nicked my neck when doing the shave. Had to go to Great Clips to get it fixed. Never going again.
Fantastic experience: Great local barbershop with an old school feel. They take bookings on their website I suggest doing so. They do take walk-ins but why not book a chair.
Negative experience: I have lived in Baltimore for just a year. I've come here on 4 occasions. Everytime my haircut was great. Never really knew what I wanted and they made it look awesome. But beware if you have a long beard. 3 of the 4 times my length was cut off when I clearly stated I was growing it out. Most recently was the worst, uneven cheek lines, 3 months of growth cut off, and Chris didn't even brush the mask line out of my beard before he trimmed it. Now I have a good haircut, beard that looks like a 6 month growth beard, and it's uneven. Great with hair, seems they just need better beard training.
Fantastic experience: Great job cutting my hair, was going to another place in Canton area for years but my regular person never showed up for our appointment, got tired of rescheduling so i walked out and Google The Canton Corner and they had no problem with taking me in as a walk in, plus the Barber Rob did a great job. Even got my neck shaved. 5 star. My new home now.
Positive experience: I had an appointment July 28 for 1:15 and was assigned a barber at #7 chair. Haircut was great and at the end the barber asked if I wanted her to trim my eyebrows. I said yes. After I left I discovered that she not only trimmed the length of my eyebrows but shaped them as well… but not so well. I’m not happy. I would have appreciated a choice as to the “shaping”. Also, I was charged $25. The website says $20 for a regular haircut. Was the $5 for the eyebrows? Again I would have appreciated knowing about the extra cost since it’s usually a standard included feature at most barbers.
Fantastic experience: Tyler was the absolute best. Have not had a better haircut across 4 states and 8 years. Atmosphere was relaxed and the folks were friendly. Haircut looks amazing.
Fantastic experience: Went in on a busy Friday afternoon as a walk-in. Didn’t wait too long, but enjoyed the atmosphere while I was waiting. Loads of old Baltimore photos on the wall and good music playing. I got my haircut by Tyler, I think that was her name. She was new to the shop and I watched her cut the guy’s hair before me almost exactly how I wanted, so I requested her. Extremely happy with the skin fade. Also got my mustache trimmed and a straight razor shave. Great experience, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Just moved to the city and went here for the first time this week. Stuart was super kind, patient, and meticulous. The haircut was on point. I will definitely be going back! It's street parking but I found a spot pretty close.
Fantastic experience: Excellent barbershop. Professional, good quality, consistent men's haircuts. $25 for a simple cut, though they also offer other services. It's absolutely worth it as a step up from a chain or corporate shop. This family owned, neighborhood spot employs barbers (not cosmetologists, but barbers), many of whom seem to have trained at a school that the owner also runs. I learned that the owner's father used to be a barber in Italy, and that the son also currently works as one of the employees at the shop. Glad this place made it through the COVID pandemic. As of June 2021 they're currently taking online reservations but also have one slot available for walk ins. Everyone's wearing masks, including customers while getting their haircut (they're good at working around the mask or moving it momentarily when needed), which even though I'm vaccinated makes me confident things are run well here and definitely makes me feel like I can return here regularly now.
Fantastic experience: Went in for a beard trim / shaping. The barber took over 30 minutes to make sure that I walked out of there with what I was looking for and It cost me $14. I will definitely come back.
Fantastic experience: I contacted them after throughly seeking out great barber for skin fades since my barber no longer was employed by the establishment that I had been going to for several years. So I called asked if they take walk ins and then showed up 15 min later and waited for 5 minutes before being taken to Sara’s chair. I was hesitant at first mainly because I haven’t had the best luck with female barbers. However; I am so glad that I was able to get Sara! She killed it! Probably one of the best haircuts I’ve gotten in a long time! This shop was clean with a super friendly vibe. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be returning to book with Sara again!!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience at Canton Corner Barbershop. Very pleased with my haircut and the friendly staff who all have great attention to detail.
Positive experience: I keep giving this place a chance. Idk if I just get stuck with the bad barbers of the day each time or what. But I'm never satisfied with my cut. I have a hard time explaining my cut so I've taken a picture of myself with the exact haircut I had that I want and the mark is missed each time. I want to support local and everyone is super friendly. It's just so hard to find a good barber.
Fantastic experience: Sara is awesome! Was in a rush but was lucky enough to grab a walk-in spot with a short wait. I highly recommend making an appointment. If you like fade, Sara is your girl!
Fantastic experience: I made an appointment on Wednesday for a Saturday appointment and when I got there they were very busy. However, they made sure to serve appointments first and I didn't wait long at all. Sara cut my hair and it came out great! Probably going to be my go-to spot now!
Positive experience: Overall I was happy with my experience here. The actual barber shop was very cool. It had a cool atmosphere, lots of talking and discussions which is nice. Everyone was wearing either one or two masks, so it felt safe. Stuart did a really nice job and was very friendly and respectful. The online reservation system i'm not sure matters as I had a 4:45 appointment, but when I got there and sat/waited, they just called up whoever was next, so i' m not sure the list really matters. Overall, I'll be back for sure.
Fantastic experience: Set an appointment online and didn't have to wait too long upon arrival. Got a nice cut by George. Great place, will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Went here for the first time today and got my haircut from the guy called Chris. I noticed how he put a lot of effort in catching the details. Definitely coming here again. Good service, good price, nice atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Rob was awesome. The vibe of the shop was laid back and fun. One of the best haircuts I've had in a long time. Edit: several months later and still five stars. I've been back a few times since. I'm still so happy everytime I leave.
Fantastic experience: Stuart has excellent attention to detail and really does an overall great job. Best haircut in a long time. Well done, Canton Corner, as always.
Fantastic experience: We love Canton Corner Barbershop! My husband and son have been getting their hair cut there for 2 years and we are always pleased with the outcome! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for about 2 years now. The barbers are very good and I've never had a bad haircut from this place. Before COVID they had a beer cooler stocked with Natty Boh, so you could enjoy a cold beer while waiting for your name to be called. That has been discontinued during COVID, but I expect it to return when things go back to normal. You can make an appointment during quarantine through their website - the only drawback is they only list the available barbers as "Barber 1, Barber 2, etc" so if you have a favorite barber, there's no guarantee they will even be working that day. My favorite barber is Rae, but in my experience every single barber there is far superior to any barber I've had at any of the other barber shops around the city. Everyone there acts very professional and courteous. The barbershop has an old timey appearance with the atmosphere and staff you would expect from an almost rockabilly (I'm sure there's a better description, but this is the most accurate I can think of right now) atmosphere and staff. I love this place enough that I actual drive across town to get my haircut and would highly recommend it to a friend. Definitely check it out and I'm sure you'll have as pleasant of an experience as I do.
Fantastic experience: Always an amazing job! I do like the appointment system now. I know it was because of COVID-19 but I hope they keep it. My fade is perfect. I always ask for Tyler, AKA the Fade King but all do a great job. Thanks!
