Expérience fantastique: What an establishment! Vibes from right when you walk in were electric! As a 90s dude they had everything you wanted! Arcade game’s memorabilia, and everything else to catch you eyes! I heard a mom even say im here really early because well… “arcade” as her son was already playing games before she got down the stairs! Shasha was amazing and she even remembered cutting my hair at another salon she used to work at years ago! All and all im going back more then i meed to to play games and get fresh cuts! Thanks again to the whole team!

Mitchell this is unreal “I’m here early for the arcade” might be the most honest thing we’ve ever heard
Appreciate you noticing all the little details, that’s exactly what we’re going for. And Sasha remembering you from way back?? That’s next level memory unlocked
Careful though… coming in “more than you need to” for cuts just to play games is how we get you hooked for life appreciate the love man, see you soon

Bobby Theriault Publié le Google 3 months ago

Expérience fantastique: I've been searching for a place for a while now and I'm glad that I came across this place cause my search is finally over. The staff, service and atmosphere is beyond any other place I've stepped foot into. And I can honestly say that Kyle is the only person I trust with my beard. I haven't been happy with others that's why I was still searching but the first time I sat in his chair and saw the final work he did I knew he was the one that I would be only seeing from now on cause he did exactly what I wanted and didn't mess it up like other shops did.

Henry Bethell Publié le Google 3 months ago

Expérience fantastique: As someone who doesn’t love getting their haircut, it’s something I always put off and don’t look forward to. Today I decided it was getting out of hand went looking for a new place to try and I’m so glad I did. This has to be one of, if not the best hair cut I’ve ever gotten. I got exactly what I asked for and couldn’t be happier. Edison gave me my trim, and he was great; friendly, professional. I chatted with him and Josh during my cut about everything from haircutting stories to tattoos and had a blast. I will definitely be returning, thanks again gentlemen!

Expérience fantastique: Took my three boys to get a first ever barber cut tonight. Between the ages of 7-14. All three said they loved the experience compared to a general hair cut place. Josh and Dan were nice to my boys, and both treated them with respect. Thank you.

Bob Daniels Publié le Google 4 months ago

Expérience fantastique: Love this place. I take my teenage sons there as well. Great atmosphere, great haircuts. I highly recommend Andrew!

Courtney Scotch Publié le Google 5 months ago

Expérience fantastique: Took my two boys to 8-Bit Barber Shop today and had a great experience. Edison did an excellent job with both haircuts and his attention to detail really stood out. He was patient, thorough, and made sure everything looked just right. We left very happy with the results. I was also really glad that I was able to book appointments on short notice, which is helpful with a busy schedule.

Neil Doctorow Publié le Google 5 months ago

Expérience fantastique: I’m not sure what it is about this place—maybe the vintage video games, the atmosphere, or the great coffee—but 8-Bit is hands down my favourite barbershop. I’ve travelled all over the world and have even had my hair cut at Disney World, which was pretty cool, but nothing compares to this place. Book well in advance—it’s worth it. I’ve already booked my second cut with Andrew (absolute legend) for Christmas Eve because I loved the experience that much. If you’re looking for your next barber, this is it. 8-Bit is the best.

Matthew Bell Publié le Google 5 months ago

Expérience fantastique: This place is golden, they have every possible iconic subject you could possibly want to be exposed to upon their walls. Outside of iconic flash, they also have talent beyond expectation. These guys are the real deal, a dream team of hair professionals that create quite an excellent experience that you will enjoy!

David Hood Publié le Google 5 months ago

Expérience fantastique: I’ve had a lot of people work on my hair over the years, but the way Josh hurls hair is on another level (he didn’t earn the name @thehairhurler for nothing). Absolute pro with the clippers, surgical with a fade, and somehow manages to turn every appointment into both a masterclass and a comedy set, usually littered with top-tier Bills Mafia references. I’ve got coarse, curly hair... basically the texture of an untrained horse mane - and a face that does not tolerate reckless shaving. One wrong move and I’m living in razor-burn purgatory for days, the equivalent of sitting through an entire Amy Schumer flick. With Josh? Smooth like butter, every single time. Clean lines, zero irritation, results that stay sharp long after I leave the chair. One shave was so good a restaurant promoter (who will remain nameless) literally paid me $30 to stand at an event while people ate California rolls off my jawline. Easiest money I’ve ever made - apparently a perfectly shaved face qualifies you for light modeling now. Bottom line: don’t overthink it - book Josh. Whether you come for the fade, the shave, or the laughs, you’re walking out looking better than you walked in.

8-Bit Barbershop
8-Bit Barbershop

This review deserves to be read dramatically at halftime. Thank you for taking the time to write something this legendary.

Josh didn’t earn the name Hair Hurler by accident. The man approaches every fade with the confidence of Josh Allen on 4th and long, and somehow keeps the jokes coming without fumbling a single hair. The fact that he wrangles those wild curls, provides a shave smoother than a fresh turf field, and keeps the Bills Mafia references flying… that’s exactly what we built this place for.

And hey, if your perfectly groomed jawline launches a light modeling career, we’ll happily take credit and start advertising ourselves as “Official Face Sculptors of Future Superstars.” We already have the Bills Mafia chain displayed with pride… might as well add a plaque for your cheekbones.

Seriously though: thanks for trusting us with your hair, your face, and your valuable time. We’re pumped you walk out feeling sharp, laughing, and ready for the spotlight.

Appreciate the support more than a Buffalo fan appreciates a folding table.
See you for the next cut — and yes, we’ll have more outrageous Josh Allen comparisons ready.

Stay fresh,
The 8-Bit Barbershop Team

Johnny5 Joseph Publié le Google 6 months ago

Expérience négative: Pretty bad asking for a tip before even getting the service, I felt awkward and didn't book for that reason, I'll go somewhere I guess

8-Bit Barbershop
8-Bit Barbershop

Hey Johnny, sounds like there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding. When booking online, there’s an optional feature where clients can prepay (and, if they feel inclined, include a tip) to make checkout faster — especially when they’re returning customers. It’s never been mandatory — not once, not ever. Honestly, we actually prefer settling up after the service since it saves us the processing fee our booking platform charges.

It’s a bit unfair to leave a review without ever visiting, but we get that technology can trip people up sometimes. Most folks find our system simple, but for the select few who don’t, we’re always happy to help in person, by phone, or email. Hopefully you find another shop whose booking setup feels more your speed, and if I could make suggest even looking into some Walk-In Only shops to skip the pesky booking software altogether. Best of luck

Christine Culley Publié le Google 6 months ago

Expérience fantastique: Haircut #2 continued to be a great experience for the curly haired one. His regrowth has been very consistent and shaping his afro nicely. Look forward to booking the next appointment -- Over two years of curly growth now trimmed, tamed, and ready to be maintained ❤️ Props to Josh at 8-Bit Barbershop for tackling them curls like an absolute barber boss!!! 24 hours later, everything has settled down as hoped. Being able to cut & shape tight natural curls is not an easy task, but Josh made it happen. Appreciate you and your scissor sorcery.

Thanks so much! We’re stoked to hear Josh worked his scissor sorcery and brought those curls into glorious formation! He’s a curl-conquering legend, and we’re pumped you trusted him with the two-year journey. Here’s to low-maintenance magic and hair that settles just right. See you next time for another chapter in the curl chronicles!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been seeing Andrew at 8 Bit for my haircut for over a year now and cannot say enough great things about this guy. He has an incredible attention to detail, knows what I’m looking for and gives me exactly that. The shop itself has great vibes and I always feel welcome when I come through the door. He’s punctual and can carry a conversation like no other. Need a trim or new style? This is the place and Andrew is your guy! You will not be disappointed!

James Johnson Publié le Google 7 months ago

Expérience fantastique: Andrew Y is an exceptional barber who’s dedicated to continual growth as he continues to pursue further education to hone his craft. He’s always kind, welcoming, and somehow remembers all the things I never do when it comes to haircuts. Simply saying “the usual”? And it’s perfect every time. As someone who is legally blind, I can’t look in the mirror to give feedback, so it truly means a lot to have a barber who knows what I want and is confident enough to tell me when it’s time to change something up. Couldn’t recommend him enough. Whether you’re getting ready for an interview, graduation, or wedding—Andrew’s got your back. Additionally, everyone at 8-Bit Barber Shop is fantastic. There’s a real sense of community and a fun, playful environment that makes every visit a great experience. Wishing you all the best!

Thanks again for the kind words — you’re part of what makes 8-Bit the place it is

Expérience fantastique: Probably the best parper shop I have been to in the province. I visited the shop for the first time 1 day before my wedding and Jody was able get the cut that I wanted perfectly with no flaws. The next morning I came back to style it for the wedding and he styled it for me for free, which was very generous and kind of him. Will be back for sure. Thanks Jody!

Kevin Publié le Google 8 months ago

Expérience fantastique: UPDATE: The professionalism as seen from the initial visit, carried forward in addressing my concerns and welcoming the feedback I provided. They took the time to listen, offer suggestions and made some tweaks to ensure that I was confident in the end result. With a couple of options on the table and both being near what I was hoping for, I'll be honest that it's exceeded my expectation and hit every mark in what didn't work for me originally. My original barber was professional and has a high level of skill, but my unique concerns and time limitations beyond their control didn't have me feeling completely able to address things that have never worked for my hair. The professionalism on all levels, standing behind their word and craft, and working as a team, is what small business customer service is. These folks have hit the mark and the passion for their craft is VERY evident. I will be back for sure!! ---------‐-------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL: I came in after doing research on my hair concerns (boring, flat, straight hair with a double crown). I also took time to consider which barber to use based on their profiles. I did want some advice on styles based on these concerns. I was leaning towards a mullet or something medium length - shaggy. More traditional hair styles (Quiff, Pompadour) have been also noted for my double crown. I brought in pictures of my past haircuts/looks and ideas of what I was considering based on what would suit my hair growth pattern. The stylist was professional, but I feel the time limit to listen to a customers concerns and execute the haircut as discussed doesn't offer sufficient time. I don't love my hair, the length in areas is too long (by ear) and the need to cover forehead was overlooked as it "curtains" versus "fringe"-like to cover an oily T-zone. More texture would have been better and in order for it to not grow out of control, it would need touch ups in 2 weeks vs. say 4 weeks. At no time was I facing a mirror to see what was being done as it progressed. Unfortunately, the hair length I had is gone to be able to mullet-ize it; and sadly, I'm contemplating shaving it all off because it's a shorter 'blah' from before. My previous haircut was 11 months beforehand (to grow out and have more to work with when getting it cut to offer more options); and because of avoidance as it seems barbers are "rushed", rather than addressing clients complex concerns with patience and consideration of concerns. I would consider paying more for my haircut to have time for a proper consultation and to address unique concerns in the cut.

Hi Kevin, thanks for sharing such a detailed review. It’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into your hair and what you were hoping to achieve, and we appreciate you bringing that energy into the shop.

That said, our appointments are booked within set time slots. We’d love to be able to spend an hour or more consulting every client through multiple style options, but not everyone is looking for that experience (and some already feel our pricing is “too high” as it is). It’s always a balance between keeping things accessible for the majority of our clients while still offering quality service.

After speaking with the barber, we’re confident you still have more than enough hair to explore a mullet-style cut if that’s the direction you’d like to go. If you’d like to give us another try, send us a text or email—our barbers would be happy to set aside a bit of extra time to really dial in on what you’re after. And if that’s not what you’re looking for, we’re glad to provide a refund.

At the end of the day, we want people to walk out feeling good about their cut, and we’re sorry this one didn’t quite land for you.

Hey Noah, appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad you liked the shop vibe, but we’re really sorry the cut didn’t turn out the way you wanted. A wolf cut can mean a lot of different things, and clearly we missed the mark this time. We’d like to offer you a refund, and if you don’t mind shooting us an email at [email protected], the owner would love to hear more so we can understand where things went wrong and make sure we do better in the future, thanks bud

8-Bit Barbershop
8-Bit Barbershop

Hi Dave,
We get it—traveling is stressful, but reviewing a shop you never actually received a haircut from isn’t exactly a fair reflection of what we do here. We had three barbers on that day: two actively cutting, and the third just minutes from his next appointment. That’s not “only two people there,” that’s a fully booked schedule working exactly how it should. With over 1,100 clients every month who have no issue booking ahead, our system clearly works. We can’t be responsible for poor planning, but we can guarantee that those who do book get the quality service we’re known for. Hope you can find a spot that can accommodate your scheduling habits, there is a shop out there for everyone!
Cheers

Expérience négative: Went in to get a simple buzz cut with a taper on the sides but Josh didn’t know how to do a simple buzz cut or a taper fade. Do not recommend this barber shop

8-Bit Barbershop

Update:
After checking our system, we don’t see your name or appointment anywhere. It’s possible there’s been a mix-up with another shop. For the record, Josh has over a decade of experience and does buzz cuts and taper fades day in and day out, so the claim that he “doesn’t know how” to do them just doesn’t add up. If this was a genuine visit, please get in touch so we can clear things up — otherwise we’d appreciate keeping reviews fair and accurate.

"Hi Alex, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I have to admit I was a little surprised by your comment, since Josh has been barbering for over 10 years and has done countless buzz cuts and taper fades here in the shop. That being said, if something went wrong during your visit, I’d really like to understand more about what happened so we can address it properly. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected] so we can make this right."

Hey Michael, I wasn’t able to find your name in our system, so I just wanted to follow up. We always aim to greet everyone who walks through the door, but since we don’t have a front desk person, it’s possible—though rare—that someone might slip through during a busy moment, and if that was your experience, I’m really sorry.

If you’re open to it, I’d love to know what day you came in and who your service was with so I can connect with the team and make sure we’re staying on point. You can reach me directly at [email protected].

Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review — and glad to hear you enjoyed the service you received.

Expérience fantastique: Took my 12 yr old son for his first barber experience. Edison did an amazing job. My son had a great experience and loves his low taper fade. He now says "thats my guy" lol thank you 8 bit. And the arcade games were a nice bonus to keep my 4 year old occupied and quiet.

Denver Marcelli Publié le Google 1 year ago

Expérience fantastique: This is the best shop I’ve been to specifically because of the Barber Josh. I’ve been going to him for years and not once have I ever had a bad experience/cut. It’s always a 10/10 cut, and always an amazing experience as a whole. I have recommended multiple family members and friends to this shop and Josh specifically, and I will continue to do so. If I could give better than a 5/5 I would. Thank you everyone!

Brian Joseph Publié le Google 1 year ago

Expérience fantastique: Used to enjoy this place a lot been here like 2-3 times. My brother in law showed it to me and they honestly are very good barbers. (Edison you’re the goat). They literally played an ai song for me. But wtvr, hate to leave this place but today’s interaction was so funny I thought I was talking to an npc. I don’t even remember his name anymore. But I was on the highway tried to call to let them know I’ll maybe be late (it’s Victoria Day) and it’s super busy. Went straight to voicemail, “all our barbers are busy with our patrons right now”. I walk in and there’s one guy getting a hair cut. Dude tells me “hey man so because of our 8 minute policy, I have to move your appointment or cancel it it’s unfair to make the guy after you wait”. Makes sense. But I’m petty and we’re all dust. Tried to explain that I called to try to let them know I’ll be late so maybe they could’ve just told me on the road to not come? But I think the guy was doom scrolling too much to answer idk wtvr it is. I really like this place but 4.9 way too high for a rating so I have to ratio them. Edison I love you and hope you achieve everything that you put your mind to. Take care buddy. P.S ik the shop owners will probably only read this. (Your shops cool) I don’t like your tattoo face npc. (No hate to him but please just try to be more human) (I was scared). Peace and love. (Pls don’t give me a ChatGPT reply, don’t even reply if you’re gonna do that) (Edit) you’re right. What have I done. Take care.

8-Bit Barbershop
8-Bit Barbershop

Ouch dude, that hurts. 1 interaction you weren't happy with and you hit us with 1 star. You could have emailed me or reached out, im sorry you were late. Our phone system isnt the best and we were short staffed that day as it was a holiday and most of the other barbers wanted to take some time off (if think they deserve it). We thought you were cool Brian, I appreciate you bringing this to ny attention but it would have been cooler to chat about it in a different way. Edison is the man, so we appreciate that statement. If you want to have an actually chat email me at [email protected] and we can set something up so I can better understand what went down cause this seems like a crazy response to being told you cant get a cut because you were late and id like to understand a but better. Cheers

Follow up: Listen dude id still love to chat about it if your interested. Im away until the 5th of june but if you email me at [email protected] I can set something up. I dont want beef between us my guy. BRIAN AND EDISON 4 EVER... seriously though I appreciate you taking the time to holler and I know you were upset so id like to make it right. Let's chat. Thanks man

Jody is extremely skilled and is always attentive to my asks. I have yet to get a haircut here that I was unhappy with, which is a nice change of pace compared to other shops I've been to in the past.

Expérience fantastique: …it was a total fluke that I just happened to see the sign when I drove by and some how recalled the name to look it up when I needed to hahah I vibed out with Andrew over how the place gave me nostalgic vibes of my old room growing up as a kid and the posters of the underground music shows brought me back to my days giggin as a “youngin” He gave me an honestly amazing fade..talked about random stuff and the nice thing was he gave me a straight blade clean up which isn’t offered at a lot of the other places I went….time well spent, definitely coming back with my kiddo and recommending to all my buds. Great job gents!

Andrea Woodbine Publié le Google 1 year ago

Expérience fantastique: This is the first time I brought my son here after finding out about them from the Santa Claus parade. The process to book appointments was super easy and even better that you can prepay ahead of time too. In the past I would just take my son to a chain salon and he liked it but nothing brought a bigger smile to his face then getting out of Andrew's chair. Not only did Andrew do a great job doing what my son asked for, he engaged with him on his level with video games and it just made my heart happy as my son is a little shy when it comes to asking what he wants. Also, while on site, a mom was having a bit of trouble with her little one and the barber who was with that client showed so much patience with the whole situation, and I just wanted to say kudos to you. Anyways, if you're looking for a place that not only does great work but is also a trip down memory lane with all their cool nostalgic art and figures, this is the place to go. Will definitely be back. Thanks Andrew!

And a huge thank-you for noticing the patience and care from the team—it’s something we pride ourselves on, and we’re so glad it made an impact.

Expérience fantastique: Came here for the 1st time this past week. Tbh, Ive mever payed over $50 for a haircut in my life but I'm older and that's just the reality now if you want a decent cut. I've tried a couple other cheaper options in barrie but you get what you pay for. 8bit is 100% worth the extra money. Kyle was super cool and easy to talk with, did an amazing job on my cut. Atmosphere was chill and layed back. I like the close quarters. Easy to interact with everyone, even others getting cut..i liked that. I'll be coming back to get cut by Kyle again for sure..cheers guys and thanks again.

Expérience fantastique: This place is amazing!!!! My sons hair was super curly and thick and almost to his shoulders. He was scared to cut it short because the last time he cut it (at another place) the cut didn't suit the shape of his head. He explained this to the stylist. My son loved his cut. Edison did an amazing job and my son will definitely be going back. I would definitely recommend this place. Also while sitting and waiting for my son I observed the other stylists as well. They all did amazing jobs!!! They were all so friendly. The shop is also very cool, very vintage, chill and very aesthetically pleasing!!!

Hey Janeia! Wow, this review just made our day! We're so glad your son loved his new look – Edison is a wizard with those curls! We totally get how nerve-wracking it can be after a not-so-great cut, so we’re happy he left with a big smile this time. It’s awesome that you got to soak in the shop’s vibe too; we’re all about those vintage, chill feels! Thanks a ton for recommending us, and we can't wait to have you both back for more fresh cuts and fun times!

Expérience fantastique: Genuinely friendly people, great tunes (an eclectic mix of interesting music at least), excellent results, and most importantly: Street Fighter in the waiting area.

Expérience fantastique: I visited 8-bit for the first time today and had a great experience. Jody is very friendly and super knowledgeable. I’m growing my hair out a bit longer than usual, and although I had some general ideas, i wasn’t sure exactly what style would work best. Jody was really easy going and offered some great ideas and advice. Love my haircut and I’ll definitely be back again. The studio/space is also really cool, love the arcade machines. Highly recommend!

Expérience positive: 38 minutes waiting after appointment time and the clients mother decided to ask the barber to make more changes…. Had to walk out as there was no telling how much longer it was going to take. Wanted to give these guys a shot but waiting this long after a booking time is wild. Edit: after the response bellow and an email from the junior barber, I have chosen to update my review. I want to clarify that I completely understand that a new barber will take longer and I am completely fine with a bit of a wait. I even mentioned that the clients mother was prolonging the cut. However, my main issue was with the communication. No one greets you or notifies you of the delay to prepare accordingly. I’ve looked through previous reviews and it seems this is a common occurrence. All I’m asking is respect and communication about people’s time. Although the heartfelt email was kind please don’t put this entirely on the junior barber. This speaks more of how the business is run which is a shared responsibility by the two senior barbers who were also at the shop. I appreciate the goodwill gesture and please note there is no ill feelings, just feedback for your business.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations. This is certainly not the norm at our shop, and we apologize for the extended wait time you experienced.

It seems that you were booked with one of our junior barbers who fell behind schedule. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, sometimes delays do happen, and it's not always within our full control. However, we fully understand that this is still not acceptable, and we share in your frustration.

We strive to provide a timely and enjoyable experience for all our clients, and it's clear we missed the mark here. That's why we would love the opportunity to make this right. If you could please reach out to us via email at [email protected], we'd be happy to discuss how we can rectify this situation for you.Thank you for giving us a shot, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with the level of service we’re known for in the future.

Best regards,
Jody Percy

Edit: Thank you for updating your review and for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate your understanding and your willingness to clarify your experience.

You're absolutely right; communication is key, and it’s clear we fell short in that regard. We apologize for not keeping you informed about the delay and for any inconvenience this caused. Your time is valuable, and we should have done a better job of acknowledging that.

We take full responsibility as a team, and your feedback highlights an area where we need to improve. We'll be working on better communication practices within our shop to ensure that all clients are kept in the loop regarding any delays or changes. This is a learning experience for us, and we’re committed to making sure it doesn’t happen again.

Thank you again for your understanding and for giving us the opportunity to improve. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future and provide the experience you deserve.

Jody and his group of barbers really make the experience a memorable one with the music they play and the atmosphere they provide.

Expérience fantastique: Edison was absolutely above and beyond. He took his time with every little detail, and gave me advice on my hairline. I felt no rush or throw away. He was precise and amazing with my fade.
