Gus the Other Barber is a shrine to soccer - team pennants and jerseys line the walls- - with a special emphasis on Gus's beloved Olympiakos and the Euro 2004-winning Greek National Team. Going strong after half a century, Gus and cohorts Costas and Veronas have served four generations of clients including Honest Ed Mirvish who was the first customer at the current location.

Great place! Simple and straightforward. I think that they should have pictures of guys haircuts on the wall (regular, business, high and tight, flat top, fade, etc) so that we can pick what we want and avoid being miss-interpreted.
Gus the Other Barber is the best place in the city to go for a cut and a conversation. Gus and the crew are the most welcoming people around and they treat you like they would their friends and family. Make sure to have a few jokes at the ready because Gus will have a few hundred waiting for you. Just don't laugh too hard, you don't want to lose an ear.
Hi all:
For those who have never experienced a Saturday (or any day) at Gus's are truly missing out - for all ages, all backgrounds, all interests, male or female, family or individual, Gus's provides a warm environment to truly relax away from the pressures of the everyday in Toronto. You can get a cut, a shave, a manicure, or just to sit and have a coffee/read the paper - all in a place full of fun, laughter, jokes and historic clientele.
Gus, you have truly created a place for all - see you on Saturday!
Kevin, Helen, Alex, Zoe and Amalia
