Define Hair Studio and Barbershop Halifax

Expérience négative: Very disappointing experience at this barbing salon on two separate occasions. Most recently, I booked Nate two weeks in advance for a 10:30am appointment. On the day of the appointment, he asked if I could come 15 minutes earlier, and I agreed. While I was already on my way earlier than scheduled, he then messaged to say he would be 15–20 minutes late. I accepted this, assuming he was genuinely running behind. However, when I arrived at the shop to wait (10 mins after the scheduled time), I saw him actively cutting another client’s hair; likely a friend, while chatting casually. By 11:00am, he was still working on that client (over 30 minutes), and then told me to wait another 15 minutes. This was extremely unprofessional, especially after asking me to come earlier. Prior to this, about two weeks earlier, I was attended to by a barber named Tra. He was rude and nonchalant when I politely explained how I wanted my hair done. As a customer, I expect basic professionalism and respect. Respect for customers’ time and basic customer service are important.

Expérience fantastique: Always go there when i need a cut and always greeted with a smile! The staff are amazing and cool and the haircuts and hairstyles they give are cooler. Highly recommended !!!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to Define Barber Shop for the last 6 years, and it has been consistently excellent every single time. The quality of the cuts is always top-notch, and the atmosphere is incredibly friendly. It’s the kind of place you actually look forward to visiting — welcoming, comfortable, and run by people who truly care about their craft and their customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a barber shop that delivers great service and a great experience, every visit

Expérience fantastique: Easily the best barbershop in Halifax. Probably the best in Atlantic Canada. Highly recommended.

Expérience négative: Really upset about the way I look right now. If you have curly blond hair this destination is not the spot for you. This establishment is just as expensive as high-end salons, but does not provide shampoo or post cut styling that the salons provide. I was never concerned I was balding, as I've never seen the signs. Somehow this haircut has made me feel like I am only a few months away from looking like Howie Mandel. Really friendly barbers, but for hair like mine it just isn't the right fit.

Expérience négative: By far the worst barber experience of my life. I asked for a light trim and they chopped it all off. I look completely different. I deeply regret getting my hair cut there.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to see Ella @definehairdesign for over a year. She is great. She listens to you and takes her time so every visit is a perfect result!

Expérience fantastique: He’s the best barber ever he’s the best of the bests he always got me

Expérience fantastique: Matthew is the best barber in all of halifax hands down he's the only guy around who can properly texture straight hair

Expérience fantastique: I recently went to define and had an amazing experience with Matthew! He’s always been my go to barber for over 2 years now and can never go wrong. He always gives me the freshest fade and cut. I seriously recommend!

Expérience négative: The guy was showing me his SoundCloud rap songs and told me he didn’t have a license to cut hair but watched some YouTube videos. Literally left and immediately went to another barber to fix my haircut. Additionally, the lady at the door tried to force me to leave a 5 star review. 0/5

Expérience fantastique: Got a cut by Sony, was my first time coming and definitely won’t be my last. Was a great clean cut, great conversation. 10/10 service!

Expérience fantastique: Steve has always been a model professional and always gives a top quality haircut. I would highly recommend him.

Expérience négative: Terrible experience. The barber told me he learned to cut hair on YouTube. The receptionist tried to pressure me into leaving a 5 star review when I was leaving and started arguing with me when I said I couldn’t. I asked for my hair to be done a certain way, this was totally neglected and the end result is that I had to go to another barber to fix it
