Reviews of Johnny Razor Barbershop (Barber Shop)

Tariq Huwaiti

Don't go anywhere else for the freshest cut

R Michel

5 star barber ... The best in Ottawa

Rhea S

My hubby and son gets their hair cuts here. Ski is 2 and they are great with kids! They always do a great job with hubby and have him looking even more fly! Great bunch of guys! One thing though they need a numbering and cash system setup!

Sol bossa

Very good hospitality and very friendly place .

Viyasan Asokanathan

Excellent cut done by John. Took his time and did the cuts and outline with precision. Would go back for sure.

Richard J J Bridle

To get a haircut or a shave, or both, here is an amazing multicultural experience. The hairdressers are both professional and witty. The clientele is a real cross section of central Ottawa society, only missing the old white guys (apart from me, that is).

Ankit Rana

Best barber shop in Ottawa. Johny is the one of the best barbers. Little pricy but worth it.

Dustin Fitzpatrick

Come to Johnny Razor’s of you are looking for an unreal haircut everytime. The best in Ottawa. Jesse is a master barber and a complete professional. The establishment is clean, friendly, and has a unique vibe unlike any other barber in Ottawa.

Michael Ogilvie

Great price for a nice hot shave and a trim

Ottawa Tours

You can hear this place from the end of the street! With bumpin' Ragaeton and great conversations whether you speak Spanish or not! They cut hair well too, which I guess is important to know as well!

Matt O'Leary

Love it. Great atmosphere and solid haircuts

Elizabeth O'Reilly

Wilmer cuts my son's hair, best hair cut he's ever had. Way better then any of those salon's gear towards children (like Melon heads) and a lot more affordable. He even does cool fades at no extra cost. I recommend anyone with kids to go see Wilmer for a hair cut!!!

P

Damn good haircuts and fades. Louis and Francis are top notch.

Tommy Lu

The person that cut my hair did a great job. Shaved my neck and around the ears and used a nice hot towel to clean up! Costs $25 but well worth the experience.

Michael La Vigna

If you want a design shaved into your head and a mediocre fade then this place is the right for you. Other then that if you have any length what so ever don't even bother. There are literally 18 year olds cutting hair at that place, 3 of them couldn't of been older then 24. It's very amateurish, plays horrible music, and they move at a snails pace. The fact that this place is rated more then 2 stars on Google is laughable.

Noelia Nunez

Jhonny is very nice and proffessional. Recommended????

Deborah S

My husband thinks this shop is fantastic!

Atsu KOMLAN

Went there yesterday as it had some good reviews. The person that cut my hair did not tell me his name besides that he was from Kenya. So this review may not be a reflection of the other staff but simply him. I noticed there were other customers waiting however no one was with this barber so he asked me to sit down (this should have been my first clue) . After I sat down I explained to him that I wanted a faux hawk and to touch up my beard. I showed him 3 pictures of exactly what I wanted in terms of my beard and hair. Instead of looking at my phone when I showed him the pictures he was staring at me and I asked him if he has an idea of what I want now and he just nodded. At this point I realized that he English was probably not his first language, which is not a problem if you have one job of only cutting hair. He did a good job with the hair but the beard and my mustache.... I have been keeping my beard on my cheeks for about 5 months now and I explicitly told him just to straighten it, not to shave it, not to to touch the length just straighten it.And he asked me about my moustache and I told him not to touch it. Sitting in his chair I get the impression he only knows how to cut your facial hair in one style...his style. He shaved my entire cheek. By the time I realized what he had done it was too late. When I showed him the picture again and told him this is what I wanted and this is what we discussed he just stared at me like I was speaking Latin. He did not even offer an apology. My mustache he shaped the bottom and the top and left the middle...even after I told him not to touch it!! Anyway, needless to say I will NEVER come here again and I will never recommend anyone going here either. Finally, they only take cash here just so you know if you do decide to go.

I got an outline. My 9yr old got a fade. We were in and out of there in 10mins. The bill was $50. For one, I didn't know kids haircuts were the same price as adults, and outlines are typically not the same price as haircuts. In all honesty, my son's hair looks terrible, almost as though nothing got done. How can a reputable barber allow someone to get out of their barbershop with that atrocity, and think they've done a great job. I'v been going there for years, but never going back!

Pat Riley

Always on point ????

Colleen Sutherland

Our go-to for our four year old and my husband. Professional barbershop, all covid protocols followed and in place, friendly service. Johnny and his team are the best!

Steven Macarthur

Wow! Best hair cut ever!!! I mean it ! 12 out of 10 every time ! They really should raise their prices ! You feel like I million dollars when you have a razor cut !

Murray Yaansah

Always get great service, the most attention to detail in terms of precision and detail. I always leave feeling like I have gotten amazing value for money.

joshua monette

High recommend you check this spot out for a phenomenal cut and shave

Michael King

Best fades and haircuts in town!

Caderz Waderz

The worst experience ever! Why doesn't Google have zero stars. The barber didn't speak one word of English, didn't even know how to hold a pair of scissors and the owner was the rudest POS I've ever met. The barber was decent with the clippers but so is my 14 year old son. But once it came to evening things out and cutting my hair with scissors it was game over! I would post a pic but I'm so embarrassed about the cut that I wouldn't show it to anyone. My colleagues laughed at me the second i walked through the door. Save ur $25 and go anywhere else. Supercuts would be a much better choice for $7. Trust me. The people who have had a good experience here must be friends or relatives or there must have been better barbers there at the time. The owner didn't even care when I complained and you could tell he has had many complaints from the way he responded to mine. All he said was I guess we won't be seeing you again while he took my money. Nice. I feel sorry for the barber because he was trying his best but just didn't have the experience or skills necessary to accomplish a decent cut. I mean he didn't even know how to hold the scissors properly and thought he was going to cut my neck with the straight blade razor so I told him I had to go and will ask my wife to finish the job tonight. There are so many other places which were all busy and this place got me in immediately and now I know why. Wait the 30 mins elsewhere and get a proper cut. I feel bad for not leaving a tip because I knew I would have to spend another $25 to get it fixed and the barber was set up for failure as he just isn't educated enough. I told the owner that his tip should come out of the money I paid because he is hiring unqualified people and it's his fault not the barber's. Trust me... Do urself a favour and go elsewhere.

Ryan Resmer

Love this cash-only spot. Tried so many barbers in Ottawa (from Toronto) and nobody else in town cuts like the guys here. Really nice barbers. Excellent skills. Tried three barbers and they were ALL very good. Free street parking on the weekends. ATM on site. They all take their time and it’s only $25. Check them out!!

Top quality beard trim!

Liban Olow

Worst service and they make up their own prices so beware.

Ahmad H

Been going to Johnny for 7 plus years. Always does an amazing job each time. I highly recommend Johnny Razor and is the BEST in town. Takes his time and listens to what the clients wants. Finishes off with a razor clean, towel, after shave and gel. Average pricing in the city and the experiance is worth it for sure. Please support his business. Thanks Johnny for the cuts.

Gabriel Heffes

Luis is THE BEST barber in Ontario!

Ibrahim Mahamat

Very nice place to get my haircut very nice and welcoming with great music and staff.

Juan Alfonso

Johnny's Razor is the best place to get a nice haircut. You can listen all kind of music while those professional guys change your look.

René Beshman

It's a wonderful place for hair dressing with talented personals and a condusive environment with the Spanish pop music

Great place with a Dominican vibe (the owner, Johnny is from Dominican Republic). My favorite barber is Miguel Vasquez - tell him Evan sent you.

mike lacroix

Worst service ever I had in a barbershop

Jimmy Constant

Great staff and never fails to impress my haircut at the end. Prices are fair. Nice place to relax as well.

Luis Rustan

If you want a great haircut done, to fix the mess other barber's done to your hair or just try a new haircut, Johnny Razor is for you. The BEST barbershop in Ottawa. A big shoutout to Jesse, Johnny and Fanny.

Rami Alarabi

very proper cuts, wait can be long, cash only (there's an atm there), music is bumpinnn

Mahabub Hasan

Really nice hair cut. The barber has a very good understanding of how to cut different types of hair. My hair is really thick and stubborn and hard to cut, but He did a very nice job. Very friendly folks and an amazing experience.

Aboudi Naddaf

Really talented barbers that take there time and they don't rush cuts. They offer a complementary hot towel shave with every beard outline/shave

Robert David

Great staff, atmosphere is very welcoming. Excellent communication when interacting, client with his/her barber. Prime location, and always pleased with my cut. Definitely would recommend Johnny Razor to anyone.

carglassottawa

Wth man the guy doesn’t know how to hold scissors let alone speak English . My hair is destroyed

Katicus

Best barber in town! Great place if you want professional service. At times it does get pretty busy but it's worth the wait. I did see one bad review about someone complaining that they wouldn't cut a 3 year olds hair but why would you take your little one to a stylist rather than go to some kid friendly barber shop that would probably be way cheaper.You're not going to give your 3 year old a skin fade then give the kid a razor edge and put a hot towel on them.

Vortex

Best fades in the city

Thomas Biron

I love this place! I’m going to Johnny Razor every other week for my haircut and I’m never disappointed. They’re all excellent ???????? I definitely recommend this place to whoever is looking for a nice barber shop.

Carter Morrish

Love the people that work there and I can always count on then for an amazing cut! Would definitely recommend.

A D

I think you should consider a name change to Butcher shop!

Robert Blessing

Great service

Neil Gorman

Got a haircut and beard trim. Nick is the best this was my 2nd visit thanks for the amazing experience.

Best barbershop in Ottawa. Wouldn't send my son anywhere else!

Stany Nzobonimpa

The haircut was good. But the pricing was unclear. First I was told it is 25$ then I was charged 30$. Still don't understand why. Beware of that if you go there...

Juan Alfonso

Johnny's Razor is the best place to get a nice haircut. You can listen all kind of music while those professional guys change your look.

Haley Wilcox

Best place in town. Got a wonderful design on my undercut. Staff very nice and friendly, had some great music playing, they set a good atmosphere. Most everyone speaks spanish as well if you want to brush up. And a few speak french.

Hichem Gouadria

I love the place, great hair cut, will always go back

Kennedy. Kabasele,

Johnny Razor ***JOHNNY HAND***JOHNNY HAIR TOUCH*** since 2008 this guy is my number one Barber in the city, and as it's been 10 years on a bi-weekly basis that my hair is being taken care there, you deserve 10 STARS not 5

Jean-François Juster

I love going to Johnny Razor! Great staff, great service and have me leaving looking great everytime! Giving another ⛥⛥⛥⛥⛥ because 5 isn't enough!

Awesome cut at a great price, would recommend to anyone.

Patrick G

Great place to get my hair cut. Jesse does a great job. And johnny is what you call a master barber. The guy is a wizard. This is the place to be.

Murtaza Baker

Johnny was rude, unpleasant and he refused to cut my 3 year old son's hair. He could have refused, but in a more friendlier way, not make us feel like 3rd class citizens. Disappointing experience!

Martin Blais

Best barber in Ottawa!

Marc-Antoine G

The best.

Seun Alabi

Nice location, great cuts! Been coming to this place on and off for 3 years now and hair cuts have good. Checked in today after a long time and was evenemore impresses. Music is great too and isn't as loud as it used to be. Cuts are still great, and the staff are alright. Especially the new lady they hired, really friendly and professional!

Hakim Garuba

I get my hair cut with Kurleigh. The cut is always on point and most times you can call ahead and schedule an appointment. The staff are mainly friendly and there's always something fun to talk about.

Alex Berhe

Happy 11th anniversary Johnny Razor!! Thank you very much to you and your staff for all the hard work that you have given us for so many years. For me personally Johnny has been cutting my hair for very long time, I would say for 15 plus years. Johnny is very professional when he is interacting with his client and when cutting client’s hair. It is not only his skills that makes Johnny Razor barbershop the best, but also the customer service that he provides. Johnny enjoys what he does, and he will always take his time with each client to make sure that he delivers the best haircut. He will also make sure that every client leaves the barbershop satisfied. Thank you again Johnny and your staff for your service and hard work.

Gardy-D Lavertu

Very good cuts!

S Patel (patelsr)

Son and I both needed a haircut and he suggested this place which was near to where he lives. The place is clean and fairly big. Some chairs for waiting at the back. TVs playing some Netflix, however it stopped every couple of minutes and restarted, which was annoying. There were just two barbers, but within a few minutes a few more customers came in and soon after a couple more barbers. The haircut by a very young gentleman was perfect. He took so much care to every part of the cut. Would have liked a wash after, however it seemed it was not possible. A hot towel was a nice touch at the end. Would definitely come back.

Shady Hafez

Nice spot, really happy with my cut. Professional service, friendly barbers.

Jake Larmand

Really good cuts. Always satisfied. Great people, never disappointed. I highly recommend people going to Johnny razor! You won’t be disappointed. The more you go they recognize you makes u feel like family!

Geoffrey Bligh

A great barber shop. Very busy but do walk ins. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere in the shop. I have had lots of barber shop hair cuts these folks take their time and do it right. Neat and tidy with a good fade and a beard tidy up as well. Highly recommend.

Reggy Dubourg

It good if you have the right barber Johny and Jessie are the best

Derrick

Fresh cuts and friendly barbers

Ognjen Rajak

Great staff.

Julian

The best barber in Ottawa. #1 place to go. My hair was cut by Nick, an absolutely amazing barber and a super nice guy. If you want the best haircut in Ottawa, go here!

J Yang

Came here two years ago, use to be good when all the good barber's worked here fwiw. Got johnnys stubborn kid, who's in experienced and bunch of other inexperienced barber's. Got my outline pushed way back second time after a first mistake of putting a big line through my head from johnnys son. I refused to pay the second time and he made a huge scene when I waited one hour for the dumb kid to put a huge line in my head when I never asked for any design and always get the same hair cut all the time. Only good barber in there is johnny him self. Save your time and money and find a better barber shop.

Christian Ayotte

i got the best haircut that i've had in years great customer service too

deno abruci

Their equipment is so unsanitary! The haircut was not worth the price either... 2 thumbs down

Tommy Liu

pretty good

Suhail Sherwani

While old Johnny is a star young one is not behind. They are just amazing people doing what they do best.

Shneur Or Bielak

I have been going to J. Razor for years. It’s music and Good vibes make it a great place to frequent. The whole CREW make you feel welcome and they ALWAYS try to satisfy their customers requests. FYI: Fani is Fantastic!

Benjamin O'Connell

Pretty happy with overall experience. Nice staff, good haircut. Only thing I'd like is a debit/credit machine as opposed to an ATM.

Jason Fletcher

Went in here late one night a cpl weeks ago - worst hair experience ever. Had a younger male stylist get up promptly and take me. He asked what I wanted, (my hair had gone uncut for 8 months in an effort to try something new) and I said I wasn't sure. He pointed up wordlessly to a numbered grid showing different mens hairstyles. I decided upon what I termed a 'soft mohawk' with a fade so it wasn't extreme (I'm in my 40s). He proceeded to take the clippers and shear my hair on #2 right up the whole side of my head. I was disappointed (8 mos of growing - gone) and I told him. Well, the attitude was like turned up to ten and he told me he just gave me what I asked for. After an attempt at explanation I shut up and he continued to give me what ended up being a bad crew cut, nothing like what I had asked for or appeared in the picture above. When I told him I wasn't pleased and was met again with what I would say was aggression. He became loud (so the other 2 stylists and client could hear) and again told me it was 'my fault' and that he just gave me what I asked for. He was nervous from the start and appeared very junior and when I asked him how long he had been cutting when yelled at me wanting know why I asked (and never did answer me). At this point the other stylist who had a client yells out 'he gave you what you asked for and it looks fine'. She was cutting another client on the opposite side, at the other end of the shop, which had blaring music playing this whole time. There's no way she heard anything at the beginning of this fiasco. I wasn't going to argue anymore and got up telling my stylist I was leaving. After grabbing my jacket the stylist was pointing at a pastry & napkin that I had brought in. I was told to take it with me. I wanted to throw it out but was told there wasn't any garbage there and to take it with me. Im sorry to leave this review but it was such a bad experience I felt I had to share. For me? Uprofessional, rude, arrogant and a seriously terrible haircut and overall bad experience. I left without paying, something I have never done before.

Jesse Harvey

I’ve been getting my Haircut at Johnny’s for almost 4 years now. Some of the best barbers in the city, great atmosphere, the crew is very welcoming. Great music and even better cuts.

MsStacey 101

Best cuts and fades in the city hands down

Aaron Barron

Awesome experience great barbers

Juan Carlos Lobera

Would never go anywhere else for a nice face and hot towel shave. All the barbers are great! Staff is amazing friendly and gives you that "barbershop" feel!!

Kris Elliott

I recommend this place to any man who wants to feel a little manlier after a fresh cut and shave I try to visit as often as I can

Laurence Landry-Boisvert

Johnny is the best in town

Jeremie Pauze

Johnny's the best place, everyone should try it!

Alex Tremblay-Grey

Cut my hair like a GEM

Alex Does

5 stars ain’t enough. Honestly the best hair cut I’ve had in years. I was started to get really frustrated with the poor quality and high costs of hair cuts in Ottawa before I came to Johnny Johnny Razors. The barber I had was Jesse and I could tell he had great experience and was very skilled. Definitely my new spot.

Kieran Janczur

This is the place to go for a Sick Fade!

Carolyn Leckey

My son always goes to Johnny Razors . The staff is always very courteous , warm , clean environment . They follow covid19 rules for sanitizing , and always wear masks . Jesse Houle is such a nice young man and very customer service oriented . Highly recommend Johnny Razors.

joshua mclaughlin

Wish I could of experienced the place, hours say 9pm but really it's 8 30 last call.

Adriana B

The only place I take my son's for a hair cut. Been going for years!

Godwin Tchegnon

This is the worst place to have a hair cut. Poor customer service, if you don't speak Spanish you can't communicate with the barber. We are living in Ottawa , Canada . Please accommodate us with Canada official language. I won't come back to this place again.

Cole Smyth

Gave me an absolute uneven cut. One side of my head's hairline is pushed at least half an inch back compared to the other side. Guess I'm wearing a hat for a few weeks. Would definitely not recommend.

assam turkmany

The store is dirty, the prices are very high. There is no respect for the customers. I enter tge store they were having food. So I told them " are you open?" They said "yeah, yeah, have a seat." So I waited for 45 minutes. The only reason I stayed the only store was open that day this bad store and I had a Birthday party for one of my friends..

Jean-Marc St-Phard

Ask for Johnny or the young girl. The young skinny guy is also good

Marie-love Hogans

Great service with children under 2 years of age

Excellent barber, good vibe and the people that work there can do exactly the style of hair that you show them.

Rumi M

I have lived in Ottawa and other cities in Ontario and I've come across many barbershops. Many of those were great, however I still can't compare those to Johnny Razor Barbershop. here's why I choose Johnny Razor over any other one: - Friendly, welcoming and highly skilled hairstylists and barbers. - Sufficient staffs at 90% of time to serve customers quick with minimum delay time. - They have males and females hairstylists. - A relaxing and fun environment that welcomes everyone! (I found all different types of clients at this barbershop over the years of my visit). Johnny is definitely one of the very best barbers I have ever visited. Johnny and His excellent and highly skilled team provide hairstyle service to all clients with different types of hair, something you don't usually come across at other barbershops. I have seen many happy customers that got variety of different haircut styles and it's fascinating to watch they did such excellent job of all of them! I love this place. I definitely recommend this relaxing, fun, friendly place and its professional staff to everyone. Whether, you live in Ottawa or you're just visiting, Johnny Razor barbershop is the place to get a haircut.

evan Dudley

I have moved around using a number of different barbers throughout Ottawa and nothing comes close to Johnny's. Great Staff, great haircuts, & fair prices. I have recommended this place to a number of friends and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

Vince DG

Make you feel like your getting an haircut in Dominican Republic. Love it

Joryino Sánchez

The best barbe shop in Ottawa with the most beautiful costume service.

Karina Morales

Nice people, good ambience excellent haircuts and fades.

P K

As everyone else said their lack of a numbering system makes timeliness an issue. You may be waiting a while. And Johnny is the only good stylist there. The rest of them are half trained newbs. If your lucky you’ll get a good barber on time... there’s better places around to get sick fades and lineups

Tony Zamora

Some of the best barbers in town!

Convenient. Offers a parking spot.
