Charles Barber Shop

I found this barber shop about six months ago so I’ve had a few haircuts to write an objective review. I like this place because I get a good haircut that is consistent and at a good price. I also don’t have to make sure I’m in the right mood to talk to my barber for the length of time it takes to get a haircut. The barber at this place is quiet. He does his job and I haven’t seen an unhappy person leave the place.
I recommend to go in the mornings because the afternoons are quite busy. If you value a barbershop by how trendy their décor is or how much of a hipster the barber is to justify a $ 40 haircut this is not the place for you.
Great mix of magazines ranging from Maxim to Nat Geo.

Great Place.
Old style barber shop, the great era is still alive!
Great cuts, great old-​world interior, 2 tubes tvs and yelowish world and canadian maps. This brass barber chairs and specific NO TALK!!! Really NO talk, you tell the guy what you want and the max you get is two words setences and silence until the end of the cut.
No appointments needed, central location, and VERY VERY cheap!!! 14 $ dollars for adult and 12 for senior and kids!
the bad side is that you have no mirror, at any point of the cut you can see what the guy is doing! But he does a good job every time!!!

Great small barber shop, right on the corner of where Stella’s used to be. (Now called Biercraft)… Quick cut no complaints. The barber is not the most talkative person but I feel uncomfortable talking to my barber about things I am not interested in, nor is he. I’ve never been there when he was eating a sandwich, or watering his plants, so I’ve never had to wait. Other then waiting for him to cut someone else’s hair, but guess what he’s in there by himself (every time I’ve went) and he can eat a sammich. 14 $ gets you a hair cut.

Wedged onto the corner of the building that houses Biercraft (formerly the Tomato Café), this barbershop is a throwback to the places my dad used to take me in the 60’s. Charles (that is the name of the place and what the customers call him but I’m not sure if that is actually his name) doesn’t speak much. He will glance and you when it is your turn to come up to the chair and then will begin to cut. If he doesn’t remember you, he might ask you if you want it short (vs a trim) by uttering a one-​word sentence «Short»?. Don’t bother to describe how you would like the back or the front… this will fall on deaf ears. He will give you the shorter version of the haircut that you already have. If you don’t like your current cut, then go some place to get it styled, then visit Charles when it grows out.
The magazine rack is full of National Geographics. He has two tiny tube TV’s which usually run pirated nature documentaries and sometimes a cartoon. His friend who owns a business down the block, hangs out for most of the day and chats.
If you show up when he is watering the plants in the morning, or eating his sandwich at lunch, you will wait until he is done.
The above may sound like a criticism, but it isn’t. This guy is part of a dying breed of old barbershops.
