To avoid his father's razor and comb approach, Lowell Stephens taught himself to cut hair at age ten. Business partner Kirk Tulloch was sixteen when one of his hair designs was featured in a national ad for volleyball apparel. The entrance to Onyx Barbers, their second floor shop next to the Canon Theatre, is easy to miss so look closely if you want to look sharp!

where excatly are you guys located on victoria street?
like the main intersection closest to you guys!?
I wouldn't recommend this place unless you've got black people hair or you're looking for a buzz-cut or going for a really close cut - short haired look.
I don't think these people have experience / will provide anything impressive with anything else, they didn't even ask me what # I wanted on my sides -- they just started cutting.
HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
Actually the best Barbershop in the city of Toronto and the GTA was(past tense)"No Substitute Hair Design" on Lakeshore Blvd West & Islington Road in the southside of Etobicoke. The service was fabulous and the art those artists did on those clients were fu@king amazing. Sorry for the language.... The owner/artist was very innovative with his designs and he never faded, but blended the hair within its self. So when your hair starts to grow back it would look very smooth till the next visit.
P.S. Too bad the business never flourished with its potential. But unfortunately the neighbourhood never gave that business the proper respect it deserves. Too bad for that neighbourhood. R.I.P
A great place to get an "urban" haircut... great bunch of guys but everyone seems to avoid one of the guys ...I believe his name is Tomasi...I was not sure why until he cut my hair a few days ago.. now I know why people avoid Tomasi.. he is an arrogant and retarded SOB... I wanted to get a taper on the side and the back and he ended up giving me a pseudo-fade ala Fresh Prince..wtf and he seems to be bothered to listen to anything you have to say.... I would recommend anyone who goes there to get Lowell or Kirk as your first choice, anyone else including the token white guy and if your in a hurry, then go with Tomasi but I'd rather be waiting for hours than put up with that fool...
Im not in school and I did not finish my hair dressing course, but why im writing this note, is because im looking for someone to teach me how to cut black men hair in less than a year, willing to volunteer my time on learning how to cut all types men hair
