Looking for a good mens haircut in the Toronto area.
Theres been a little talk regarding this subject but not enough to really land a decision. Ive read past posts but i want to see what people have to say now.
Im in need of a good haircut, dont mind spending the $, i drive. After being to a few high-end salons in TO I've found the cuts a rather hit/miss, each time getting the feeling they rather be working with womens hair. Im trying to find someone who really knows their way around a guys haircut. I have medium-length hair, caucasian.
Rather than playing roulette with the scissors im wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction?

Rodrigo at W is great and I went to him regularly for a few years before I couldn't rationalize spending much money on the little hair I have left. I go to Gus the Other Barber now, when I don't just buzz it myself.

i shave my head but a few stylin' friends with hair recommend David Mitchell. King St. East near Sherborne.
while I miss having hair I don't miss finding a good place to style it!

Nicole or Jessica at Shampoo in Kensington Market.

You're gonna laugh, but try Arthur in the salon in The Bay at Yonge & Bloor. Arthur's been a stylist since the mid 1960s. He worked out a hair rescue plan for me, and I've followed him around to three salons around the city.

I used Nicole @ Shampoo for several years but I found towards the end she didn't seem to put as much effort into it. I don't know if it was a general malaise or just that she figured she'd won me as a customer so she didn't have to try as hard. Great girl, but I had to switch as that last two times I used her she disappointed me.

I'll second Jessica at Shampoo, she always does a good job for me.

Coupe Bizarre on Queen West is fantastic, and despite their name will give you a perfectly normal (but very fashionable) cut if that's what you are looking for. $60 well spent.

2nd Coupe Bizzarre. Ask for Sergio. These days I self-inflict a buzzcut on myself, but he kicked all kinds of ass (and was a really nice guy to boot).
