Tucked away on the ground floor of an office building, Ralph's has been bucking trends (but staying in style) at its current location since 1980. Proprietor Ralph Schiavone entered the trade at age ten, sweeping floors in barber shops in Italy and working his way up the ranks. Co-barber Nick Tunzi has been with the shop sixteen years.

Love this place. Been going there for six years, and kept going even after I moved out of the neighbourhood. Ralph and Nick are the two nicest guys you'll ever meet.
I went to Ralph's for the first time today and got a cut from Nick. It was great. He was very friendly and did a great job.
Just heard that Nick died last week of a sudden heart attack. He had cut my hair for close to forty years.
Sucks. They've had different people in Nick's place - and they're just not the same.
Stick to Ralph.
