During pandemic, I learned to cut my own hair, bought high quality "Wahl" brand electric clippers from Canadian Tire, only $40, you also need a hand held mirror. With the attachments, you can cut to any length.

Same. Except I simply shave it all off. Due to a lot of professional athletes going through premature balding, I embrace the buzz cut look.

I won’t share him, but my Carlo is well into his 70s…. Looking after us. He’s such a good man. Loves his wife, kids and grandkids.

Up against him and all his volunteering, I feel like a bag of shit.

@Red Devil I see you are new.

Try asking the guys at your work place that get a hair cut. Where and who are their barbers. Then ask if they know any old Italian Barbers.

Just try.

I recommend calling any upscale salon to see if they offer male haircuts. It doesn’t have to be a barber!

And yes, the gay stylists are always the best.

I could have written this. There's a couple of old school barbers that I know that basically use only scissors. They are not Italian...not the best or very friendly....but they get the job done.

And I don't think you're going to drive around the city to get a haircut. What neighborhood are you in?

There is an old school barber at Jane Park Plaza, Jane, south of Eglinton. Would take my FIL there. At the time, $20 included a $2 tip. Nothing fancy but it did the job. Haven't been there in a few years though.

I get hosed for $60 at a place close to home. Dude chats up a storm, younger and has a nicer place.

In the end, both provide hair cuts. Just hard to justify the increase.

even with an upscale salon it's a hit-or-miss sometime

used to go to fancy place on Bloor, they had a few "stylists" there

the girl that cut my hair was amazing, she was HOT and really good at her job

but she left and I tried few different ones but they didn't even come close to her
