Onyx Barbers
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!

like the main intersection closest to you guys!?
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.
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

I'm not going to post my contact info on here, and you shouldn't either, but if you are still interested reply on here and we'll figure out a way to get in touch.
He may come off arrogant but trust me he's a really nice guy. If you had a bad experience I don't blame you for not wanting to have him cut your hair but he's not arrogant. I admit, he's not the best guy to go to if you are looking for a complex design and he tends to do his own thing but if you clearly tell him what you want he'll do a good job. Next time you go try getting Michael, Kirk, Drizzy, or Pops.
And no I don't work there but I know the barbers personally.
However, this does not mean the place is not a great barbershop. I still go up-to this day but I usually just write Kirk's name in the binder and have never had a negative experience.
Great place and I will continue to be a loyal customer for a really long time to come.
I heard y'all moved locations
What time do you open/close?
their website for people who are looking to contact them www.onyxbarbers.com.
New location to check beside Onyx and all the other urban barbershops. It's called "Ambiance Unisex" located at John St. and Adelaide St. just west of Hooters restaurant in the Entertainment District. Guaranteed to receive the cleanest and tightest fades, blends whatever you would call it anywhere in this great city of ours. The artists who you need to ask for are, Theo or Markus.
If ever you're willing to try someone new and for sure become in love with the artistry, make that call. (416) 585-3000. The establishment is open from Tuesday-Saturday. Theo is there from open to close while Markus is there from Thursday-Saturday. It's acceptable for walk-in business or make an appointment with either artist.
Those artists are capable of doing any type of hair texture, style, fades, hair design, beards, line-ups and they also use hot towel and straight blades for shaving purposes.
IT'S WORTH THE VISIT, NOW MAKE THAT CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As many people before me have made clear, AVOID Tomasi at all costs and you will lover this barbershop.
Preferred barber: Tomasi
Cut: Low/med top with bald tapers
I want to shave the bottom half of the back of my head and have a design there. That way, you can only see the design when I tie my hair up. Then I want to have my hair layered and have side bangs.
Are they able to do that? And how much would it be? I'm a student that has to pay tuition fees on my own.. So I'm on a budget, but tryna keep it fresh.
Or is there any place that can do that for a low price?
