I've known Tony for about 5 years (he's been cutting my hair for 5 years) i've transitioned with him where ever he went. We've gone through different hair cuts in terms of trying new things and its always been a good laugh - but good collaboration into what we see works for myself. I've always had a great experience here, chill vibe, great people, great talks, and good music. I would recommend coming here, be communicative in what you're looking for and all is good.
This became my go to barbershop the first time I got a cut here. I got my haircut done by Andy, who I could tell really knows what he's doing since he's so quick but still manages to give a great precise fade. The vibe is pretty chill and sometimes the have a cute dog napping around the place. So I keep coming back.
*** POST-LOCK DOWN REVIEW *** First of all, I would like to share my experience in general and then go into a post lock down review, but in short, I would give them a 10 out of 5 stars if i could! I have been going to Justin for well over 5 or 6+ years, I got to say you will be in the best of hands when coming to Shanghai Barbershop. Justin is an amazingly skilled barber and he always does his best when working. I can definitely say the same for the rest of the team at New Shanghai Barber Shop. Everyone is super welcoming and very very friendly. Everything is done in time and with the best possible quality. The place is kept really clean and sanitized, specially the brushes and cutting/shaving equipment. I have never in my long time going there walked out unsatisfied and I can say with confidence, if you try it out you will never want to switch shops! ** Post Lock down ** Even after this whole pandemic, the team has gone through great lengths to make our visits as comfortable as possible, they have put guidelines to keep everyone safe through their visit. Everyone wears masks while working and they keep the place fully sanitized, they have all the chairs spaced out to keep everyone at a safe distance and they do temperature checks for the safety of everyone. They have a full guideline of how they are keeping a safe environment while the pandemic is happening in their website, and I really appreciate that. The team truly care for their customers. All in all, you will definitely be glad you chose this team to care for your hair! :)
Been a loyal client of this barbershop since the day they opened their doors. Staff treats you like family not like a customer which is important in today’s world. Highly recommend Justin & Tony, as they are the reason I drive all the way from Langley twice a month for the best haircut in the lower mainland - DB
This is the only place I go. I love the vibe and you can't beat their cuts. Tony's my dude and I'd recommend this shop to anyone!
I've been going to Tony at New Shanghai Barbershop since late 2019 and have not gone anywhere else for a haircut since. As someone who has worked in the health & beauty industry for most of the early part of my career, I have been impressed with the technical skills and professionalism of Tony and the other barbers. Everyone always makes me feel welcome when I come in. Great conversations, and a cool, laid back vibe. I highly recommend New Shanghai for all your barbering needs!
Hands down, the best barbers in the city. The shop is bright, spacious, and feels very approachable. I'm usually intimidated to walk into barbershops because of the dark vintage atmospheres, but not here. Staff are friendly and best of all the haircuts are always good and consistent! They also have complimentary drinks! Highly recommend!
Fantastic cuts with some fantastic and friendly people
You can tell when you walk in that this is a small business with big dreams. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the space is welcoming and enjoyable. I was extremely satisfied with my haircut and beard trimming. Will definitely visit again!
Kristyna was amazing
The New Shanghai Barbershop is excellent. Been going since they opened, love the story and the evolution of this simple, sweet shop. Great vibe - not too little, not to much. Just a good place. My barber Tony does my hair perfect every time, with gentle shifts every once and a while to chase a whim. I really appreciate these folks, what they’ve built, and the great cuts they provide.
Steven is an awesome barber! Super chill and prime quality service! You can always expect a great conversation and haircut from here! Highly recommend!
Solid cuts, Andy is very consistent barber. Would recommend to all
World-class barbershop, New Shanghai Barbershop, continues to set an example for the barber community on what makes a World Class stand out from a good barbershop. The room takes on influences from the 1990s-2000s with a creative modern twist! Each of the barbers remains a student of the craft, continuing to learn from one another. As the saying goes, iron sharpens iron, and one barber sharpens the other.
Full barber experience by the best in town. I am a weekly guest ... 3 years and counting.
Got my haircut with Justin. Got a faded mohican cut which he rocked it great! He did an amazing job. I am not great at talking but we had a great talk. Bring cash!!
These guys will hook you up with the best fade in van! Ask about their hot shaves!
I'm extremely picky with my hair, but New Shanghai is without doubt the best barbershop I've ever been to. Andy gets it absolutely perfect every single time - can't wait to go back!
This place is excellent. Friendly barbers, great haircuts, and good prices for the quality. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Andy and the team are great here! When I moved from Toronto to Gas Town (pre-lockdown times) I was able to find the place and haven’t switched since. Can’t wait to come back!
Great quality, customer service, and a chill vibe. Been getting a cut from Tony for >1 year; 10/10!
Cool space run by some hard working people, would definitely recommend!
Justin, Tony, Kristyna all make this place great. Love the vibe and atmosphere. Love the passion for their craft. If your bald like me this is a good place to get a head shave.
10/10 environment and best value in the entire DT area!
Love getting my cuts here! Always a great vibe where you can chill and relax and listen to hip hop beats. Thank you Steven for cutting my hair!
This was my first experience at New Shanghai. My barber Steve was excellent. I usually have a complicated request for my hair but he nailed it... so much so that when I left girls on the street were checkin’ me out nonstop. When I got home my girlfriend immediately ripped my clothes off and well... let’s just say he did a great job. A++ Steve
Was new to town and was searching for another Barber that I could trust with performing a high quality fade to my hair. Did my research and came across New Shanghai that had fantastic reviews so I decided to have a look. First impressions during COVID: wow these guys care about health and safety for sure. As I sat into Andy's chair, he made me feel welcomed and got to know me very quickly. He asked me what I wanted and I explained the skin fade to him with a hard part. Guy performs. Clean fade, clean hard part, and great convo throughout. Attention to detail, and his whole team makes sure that every cut is quality and consistent. I literally travel out of my way and book to get cuts from Andy now, make sure to book ahead because they fill up fast. In summary, stop reading and googling, book now and get a clean fade bro!
Been going here for a year now and Andy is a truly dedicated and skilled barber. Highly recommend you get a haircut here. Guaranteed friendly atmosphere, clean fades, and 10/10 cuts.
Awesome barber shop! Ask for Andy. He's new, but he's good and thorough. Love my new fade!
Jordan is the man. Good stuff.
After going through many different barbershops, I have finally found my home. It is such a blessing to be able to easily communicate to the barbers from New Shanghai on what you want for your haircut and going beyond your expectation. I can't recommend these guys enough. As an added bonus, they have AC for the heat waves and fire beats in the duration of your fade ????????.
Went here for a haircut for the first time and got it from Patrick. To say the least he did an amazing cut. He did exactly what I wanted and took the time ensure to it was perfect. Also Andy gave some advice for haircare and input for the haircut to look even better. Highly recommend and will consider coming back for my next cut!
Awesome barbershop! I've been going here for well over a year and its always been a pleasure. They have incredible barbers to match any style you're looking for and the atmosphere is bar none. Highly recommend!
Great barbershop! I’ve been getting a haircut there for a year by Andy and every time I go there is like a therapy I am looking forward to. Andy is a pro and he is always on the same page with you whether you want to talk about life or ask for his help when you don’t know what haircut to get. Thank you Andy! Thank you New Shanghai Barbershop!
Amazing shop! 10/10 customer service. Love the atmosphere and Andy has the best fades!
Hands down the only place I will go. I walk from Coal Harbour to China Town for this place. Atmosphere is great, all the stylists there are super friendly and know their craft. I go to the same guy every month and have been for over 3 years now. Justin gives the best fade haircut I've ever had. 100% recommend it.
To say this business is simply a barbershop would be an understatement to what these guys do. Walking in on a (personally) good day means having others to share your wins with you. On a not so great day, it means having people to encourage and push you to continue striving to be the best person you can be. These guys exude passion through their craft and it’s evident every time I sit in a chair. The conversations had are never topical, but rather intentional in all aspects. All in all, I would continuously recommend every barber in this shop; they’re all great, driven individuals - who happen to give amazing haircuts as well.
I've been going to this barbershop and getting my cuts from Andy. Lemme say that again. Ive been getting my cuts from ANDY. The reason why I emphasize this is because my cuts have never been better. They are life changing. I always feel like he makes sure every aspect of my cut is done with quality. It's never rushed. ANDY. Not only is Andy great but the whole shop is top quality.
Find Andy!!!! Andy has a great sense of the style I want. Styled beyond my expectation. He is also very talkative, especially about Netflix shows.
Excellent cut from Andy. Will definitely be coming back!
Awesome vintage spot in the heart of Chinatown. Super chill barbers and the best fade you'll get in town. Andy's been cutting my hair for the last 4 years and I trust nobody else with my hair.
richard 5/5 everytime
Shanghai is the barbershop I have been searching years for. Great vibes, great people, and consistently quality hair cuts. One of the many gems tucked away in Chinatown.
I’ve been going to Tony for about 5 years and to New Shanghai since it opened. Everyone at the shop is great at what they do and provide a personable experience every time I’m there. I don’t trust anyone else with my hair/beard needs and go out of my way from the Fraser valley to see them.
Very professional staff who create a friendly environment for their customers. Andy is always delivering quality haircuts.
Got my cut off Jordan! Gave me the sickest fade! Shop has an amazing atmosphere! Spotless clean! Everyone follows the Covid rules! Felt completely safe.
Been seeing Jordan Broadhead for cuts for the last 3+ years now and cannot recommend him enough. Have never left this guy’s chair with anything other than a fresh, clean, and consistent haircut along with some good barbershop banter.
I have had the pleasure to be cut by Toni, Justin and Harvey. I appreciate them all taking the time to listen to my thoughts/ideas and offer new suggestions for me to consider based on the thickness of my hair and their expertise. I really value the attention and precision spent on the details of my cut. Looking forward to my next appointment/cut.
Even though I don't live anywhere close to the New Shanghai Barbershop, Tony has been cutting my hair for more than five years. He is not only a talented barber, but really an artist, with skillful hands, an eye for details and a warm heart. The atmosphere in the shop is urban and cool, but also welcoming and unassuming. Just make sure to book in advance!
Great cuts for a reasonable price. And beer!
Amazing cut for $20. Go for Steven. Don’t let the “apprentice” label fool you, he’s a mfing beast!
Just had a great haircut. Really relaxed place great vibe highly recommended ????
Excellent haircut, friendly conversation, safe COVID-wise, what’s more to ask?
Amazing experience as always at one of Vancouver's finest Barber shop. Whenever i'm in town i make it a point to get my haircut here. Quality cut from barbers who truly are passionate in their craft.
In this barber shop, I had the best haircut experience ever. Travis (the barber) was very mindful with good vibes. You can see samples of his work with his own poetic descriptions on Instagram: @the_ugly_barber Notice: make a reservation beforehand and arrive 5-10 min earlier. They're organized so be aware and respectful !
Great vibe, nice people working there and Justin is a perfect man for my hair.
Been a customer for almost a year seeing Andy (@andy_cuts). He keeps cleaning me up nice, and I consider myself relatively particular. Good music, good people, great work with the heads.
The best haircut in all of Vancouver- hands down. Could not recommend enough.
Staffs are welcoming and friendly. The place gives off a good vibe, not to mention that the haircuts and fades are on point!
I was in the market for a new barber and a friend recommended I work with Andy at New Shanghai - great cut, great company. Andy’s the guy I trusted to cut my hair when I got wedding/engagement photos! Couldn’t be happier with the cut.
Excellent cut. Great service but pricey. Jordan was great.
This is high-end barbering. I was referred by my friends who always talked about the place. I get incredible fades from Andy who is always welcoming and hustling (my favourite part is when they take out the hot towel for the back of your neck). Been going here for about a year and half and it is exceptional, I would highly recommend it.
Great buzzcut with Josephene which I totally recommend. I also got a slight beard trim, only what I needed... For a cool price. ???? Don't be alarmed by the surroundings, this place is top level! Appointment necessary!
First visited this barber on my brother's recommendation: you won't be disappointed by it. I'm now a regular here and will continue be for the foreseeable future. Excellent quality cuts with great consideration for your wants needs. Very clean interior and courteous service. Bring cash as it is their preferred payment method.
been coming here for over a year now, and have always come back. everyone is super friendly and makes you feel welcome. i always come and see tony and he’s done a wonderful job with my hair, and helped me fix my corona hair too! don’t plan on changing barbershops anytime soon :)
Unbelievable service and attention to detail, especially during times like this. Justin and his team were all amazing! Very down to earth, and great energy! Got my post-covid cut and the shop took no shortcuts with the safety measures. This place is spotless. Made me feel safe being there as everything have been sanitized and masks/temperature checks were mandatory. Limitations to the waiting area/capacity during these strange times are understandable as well. Thank you and definitely look forward to the next appointment. Be sure to tip well!
Excellent atmosphere, very talented barbers , highly recommend for their services.
Nice & friendly place
12 out of 10 service, would recommend to anyone looking for quality service. Special thanks to my man Andy for keeping me fresh. -Gregorio
Discovered this place on instagram. Will come back every time I need a cut. Shout outs to Andy for the awesome service!
Good vibes with a great staff.. 10/10 would recommend, support these good local folks.
I've had the pleasure of Andy cutting my hair. Andy has given me the best hair cuts I've ever had. He's as professional as it gets. He's also very friendly and always brings a good mood to his work space. He's constantly looking to learn things as a barber and just in general. Andy is the guy to go to! You will not be disappointed.
Amazing place to get a nice fade and different styles for growing out your hair. Absolutely stunning results and my boy Andy always delivers. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you haven't had him work his magic on you yet. Remember to ask for Andy!!
Tony is my go to! I always leave satisfied with my cuts here
My favourite barbershop in Vancouver. In the heart of Chinatown, it has history and culture. The whole crew there is friendly and knowledgeable. My guy Andy is the best. Gets my cut right every time. Highly recommend!
Finally getting a haircut post lockdown was everything I hoped for. The staff was extremely professional in the actions taken to ensure a safe haircut while withholding the guidelines and procedures to protect all customers and staff. I can 100% feel confident and safe to go back to get another cut. This barbershop gives the most consistent cuts i've experienced and i cant wait to get back in the chair.
Steven give amazing haircuts and is a super chill guy. He cut me and most of my friends. I highly recommend trying him out.
Great little barber shop. Cool dudes, great cuts.
Been following this crew since JDs, they know what they're doing! Cool atmosphere, diverse and caring crew, fun vibes, and most importantly, amazing cuts. I'm always suggesting this place to people, with good reason.
Been going there for about 2 years, great atmosphere, all the guys are super detail oriented, never rushing to get the next guy in, they take their time n do it right! Clean professional atmosphere specially post covid I really appreciate the extra steps these guys are taking to protect their customers and themselves.
Tony is a wizard, best haircut I’ve ever gotten. ????
Really good barbershop I always go there because it's really good
The best barbershop i have been to! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I visit Andy on a weekly basis for a haircut and not only can i call him my barber but also my friend. Definitely worth a visit!
The best haircut I've gotten in a while. Justin was everything I could've asked for in a barber: skilled, friendly easy to talk to, and respectful. The hot scented towel at the end was the cherry on top of a great experience. Will definitely go back!
I've been comming to the shop for about a year, been getting haircuts from Andy. He doesn't rush the cut and makes sure he knows what you want. You'll always look clean at the end . Once the shop opens up again definitely come check it out. Very welcoming shop with a chill vibe
Steven cut my hair and I’m extremely happy with the result. The haircut is perfect and he’s super friendly.
First barbershop since moving to Vancouver and couldn't be happy. Andy is the man.
A great place to get your haircut, best staff ever!
I have been going to New Shanghai for a while now. Andy does great cuts! He's always on time and is very accommodating. He's super consistent and listens well when you ask for modifications etc. His prices are also fair and you get good value for the cost of the haircut. The whole crew at the shop is super friendly and they also help out their community where they can.
Best barbers in town hands down. Best cuts of my life from these pals!
I have been following this group of barbers for the past 4-5 years. They have hopped around from shop to shop to finally having their own space. I highly doubt there is a barber in this shop you will be disappointed with. Great people, great atmosphere and always on point with their cuts.
Great vibe here. Checked them out during quarantine and they go above and beyond here; It's a really cool space, they wash your hair, you get a hot towel after your fade and they do a great job in their precautions being in a pandemic. Shoutout to Jodel for giving me a clean cut and fade every time.
Probably the best-trained, most detail-oriented, attention-to-detail kind of barbers in town. Absolutely professional operation with the health and well-being of everyone inside their shop the utmost priority. Most importantly, consistently the best haircut I've ever received.
Simple, clean, class and style.
I came to New Shanghai Barbershop to get a fresh new haircut. My DIY pandemic one wouldn't cut it this time :) I made an appointment with Tyna, who I've heard good things about from my friends. As I mentioned, My haircut possessed a bit of a challenge. Still, She asked the right questions to identify what I wanted. Her work was precise and clean, and I'm super delighted with the result. On top of that, Tyna has a great attitude, and it was enjoyable to talk to her about travels and Fiji. This was a great experience, and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Tyna, for the treatment and the advice on hair care.
I've been going to Steven at New Shanghai Barbershop since early 2021 and I haven't been to anywhere else ever since. Steven has great attention to detail and takes his time to cut your hair to your needs. Steven's amiable personality creates an enjoyable experience while getting a fresh cut. The hospitality here is amazing and you feel welcomed every time.
I found this place a day before my wedding, my regular barber had cancelled on me. I walked in explaining what I needed and I needed it to be perfect for my wedding. Steven Wong the barber sat me down and it was the best haircut I've ever received. I can't thank Steven enough for saving my wedding. I will definitely be returning.
Always a pleasure to visit New Shanghai Barbershop. Relaxed environment and great people. Book with Andy for solid cut everytime!
Great shop, really talented group of barbers that send you out the door with a slick cut/fade everytime.
Post-covid lockdown review: After 3 months as a hermit I'm happy to share that New Shanghai's doors are back open for business. If you're looking for a barbershop that has high hygiene and social distancing protocols, you can rest easy here knowing management and the team are committed to the health of their customers while still providing a very comfortable cut experience! The shop is fresh and clean, the crew is ultra chill and welcoming. It's my pleasure to highly recommend Justin to you for cuts, been seeing him for almost 7-8 years! I walk out of this joint feeling fly everytime. Hit these guys up!!
Easy online booking, great service in Chinatown
I started going to this barbershop almost 2 years ago back when my barber Andy was still an apprentice and I have to say the people who run this shop are some of the nicest people I have ever met! Andy gives some of the sickest fades I've ever seen in all of Vancouver and I highly recommend him. Also can't forget their dog, Junior!
Really glad I found New Shanghai recently. It's hard to find a consistent barber, but Tony is great. Spends time to look at how your hair grows in order to give you the best cut, which I really appreciate. Really chill guy on-top of it ????????
One of the best places in town for a cut.
I just got my first cut here today and they did it exactly how I asked, not faded too high and left long enough in the right areas to cover my receding hairline. Also the first time I left a shop with my hair styled exactly how I do it myself!! They’re covid protocols are well organized. They really take care of their clients. Can’t recommend these guys enough!
Was looking for a new place to make my regular and I found it. I couldn’t recommend Andy more. Not only is he great with razer AND scissors, he’s a chill dude who has you looking forward to your next trim every time!
I've been a client since the shop opened and been going to Justin (one of the owners) a year before that. He is the best barber in the city hands down and always has the best interest of every customer who walks in. Since the shop opened again, they operate very efficiently and professionally with the added element of social distancing and thorough cleaning. Before I stepped in the shop, my temperature was taken and I was given hand sanitizer and a mask. They're making it work to the best of their abilities and I would highly recommend New Shanghai Barbershop.
Good spot. Its lit there.
Best haircut in Vancouver
The most professional barbershop I've ever been to hands down. Justin makes and insane effort to understand the way my hair naturally falls to recommend changes to my hair style to help make it easier to keep (which is what I asked for). Tight fades of course!
Justins the best! Thanks again
I've been getting my hair cut by Tony since around 2014 and he has yet to disappoint me. When I heard he was opening a shop with some of his barber friends I knew I had to check it out. The team did an incredible job renovating the shop and carrying on the 50+ year legacy of the the previous owner. Everyone there is very friendly, professional and willing to accommodate your needs. But most importantly, all the barbers know how to give a mean haircut.
Best barber in Chinatown/Gastown 100%. The crew here has been with me for over 5 years and together we’ve made a style that is my own. Everyone’s always welcomed, and with sensitivity they bring positive vibes in a tense part of town. Do yourself a favor and elevate your hair game with this shop.
The crew here is a family and it shows. I only found them about 6 months ago but Andy is a legit barber. He clearly cares and his IG shows him constantly challenging himself with new techniques. I love being able to check his online schedule, booking a time that works best and arriving with him all ready to go (no waits). Can't wait until the lockdown is over so that all us Yetis can walk through that door and have the New Shanghai family greet us!
Professional shop, nice group of guys. Tony’s cuts are always clean!
Best barbershop in town. Always working hard, striving for more, and staying on top of their game. Really value the quality and effort put into every cut, the great attention to detail everyone has, and the overall level of service at the shop.
Fantastic barbershop with excellent service. My barber Andy is one of the best in town, since day 1 he has remembered what cut I get, remembers what TV shows I like and is very personable.
Honestly the best barber shop in Vancouver Good cuts, good people Been to other shops in town. Not comparable
Justin is slanging the best haircuts in the city. Their pandemic safety measures are exceptionally organized and easy to follow. Definitely the best barbershop in the city.
Have been getting my haircuts here since 2018. I love the atmosphere and all the people inside. Andy has been cutting my hair since day 1 and I've seen him grow from a junior barber all the way to his senior status. I highly recommend him. Endless conversation, great haircuts and an overall great friend. Make sure to check him out if you plan on stopping by!
The barbers at new shanghai go above and beyond on providing proper service.
Great people, nice and friendly!
Slick vibes to go with killer do’s. Tony is the bomb!
Great bunch of dudes who are passionate about their work.
Good prices good barbers
love the place, really good vibe and great barbers.
Justin is a fantastic barber and more importantly an artist. He genuinely cares about his work and it shows through his attention to detail and sick styles. I have visited a lot of barbers but this place is hands down the best I've been to. Great vibe, beer in the fridge and great staff. Would highly recommend
Great people, even better cuts.
Everyone here is so kind and welcoming and the haircuts are the best the city has to offer. Andy is the man! The best barber I've ever met!
Jordan knows what he's doing!! Got an awesome haircut!
Well worth hitching my 9 reindeer to the old sleigh & heading a long way south for the best beard trim available anywhere on the planet! (Photos curtesy of Mrs. S. Claus)
I've had the pleasure of getting my hair cut at the New Shanghai since Tony and his crew took over in 2016. Their service is phenomenal and you're always welcomed with smiles, good convos, and a nice hot towel off at the end. Each haircut is an unique experience, as your barber truly tailors the cut to your features and what you want. I highly recommend checking them out (and booking a week in advance) if you're looking for a new barber and want to support a Chinatown-based business.
This barbershop really has it together. Clean comfortable environment and always greeted with a smile. Justin has been impressing me and most my close friends with cuts for a few years and many years to come. Even after moving away to Squamish I travel in for my cuts. Zero Complaints and thanks for the consistency guys!
What I'm most impressed with when it comes to my experience with Andy is his commitment towards a curiosity towards becoming better at his craft each time I enter the shop. Ranging from his technique to the equipment he uses and recommends, Andy is consistently open to upgrading himself in the realm of hair styling. A trip to New Shanghai Barbershop is akin to seeing friends you haven't seen for a while, but are ever-so-glad you made the time for a reunion on the commute home. Relationships are the ultimate currency at the Shop, an ethos that keeps bringing their community back over and over.
Good vibes. Clean and simple shop. Great guys. Thanks for the cut Justin! so many compliments from your exceptional work. Really worth trying out!
Best cuts of my life
Perfect haircuts and great people. The shop has an easy going atmosphere with a professional attitude to cutting hair. Booking online is easy. Justin does really high quality cuts that last, with an unmatched attention to detail. I've never walked out of the shop with a hair out of place. The attention to detail translates well to the shops approach post-lockdown. There are clear guidelines for coming into the shop and all of the tools and surfaces are diligently cleaned before you get in the stool, all while keeping the chill atmosphere in the shop.
I've been with my barber at New Shanghai longer than I've been with my wife, and at a much more reasonable cost.
After 8 years jumping chairs I was finally able to find a top end barber in Vancouver. They know how to cut for the modern man and you always leave feeling fresh and well looked after. Unbelievable cuts and just as good people.
Best cuts in town. ***Post Covid Update*** Since the re-opening of the shop post covid I have to say I'm incredibly impressed with the safety percautions and professionalism Justin and his crew are taking. Sanitizing all equipment after the last customer - not letting people wait inside to reduce number of people, requiring the use of masks (they can provide them at a cost if you dont bring your own). Happy to see a great business like this adapt to the new "normal".
Been going to Justin for years. Super professional, clean shop with great barbers. If your looking for a classic cut or fade he is your guy. Highly recommend.
Best fade in the city
Hands down the best in town! I started going to Andy over a year ago and I can honestly say its one of the best decisions I've made; within the first visit, I could tell he was an expert in his craft and super dedicated to giving you the best cut. He's also extremely personable and is able to understand and deliver exactly what you're looking for. Highly recommend!
If you want a haircut do not hesitate to hit up my man Andy. I have been coming here for the last two years and Andy has delivered exactly what I asked for. When it comes to Andy's craft he is the best at what he does, there is no other hair stylist that can do what he does. Did I mention Andy is the sweetest and coolest guy you could meet too, but I wont tell you too much about that because you'll have to hit him up to see what he's all about. I highly recommend Andy, he is hands down a legend at cutting hair.
Hands down the best spot in Vancouver. Justin and the team will take care of you. I've been cutting here for over two years now and I've never been disappointed despite all the different style ideas I've brought up. Excellent quality and the service by the team here!
I messed up my boyfriend’s hair during quarantine, but they fixed up his fade rq. Best barbers in town. ????????
It was breathtaking getting my haircut at this local barbershop. "Andy Fung" provides extraordinary fades, displays professionalism, superb sense of humour, and all while providing an unmatched fun haircut experience! Thank you for your service sir and keep it up!
This establishment caught me by surprise. Located in the downtown Eastside, I did not expect this upscale Barbershop to be. It is a spotless large open environment for those looking for.the more traditional barber offering a full range of services which includes a shave. Although prices are a little higher than older barbershop s their addition of a pool table for those waiting is awesome! Nice touch!
Tony did an awesome job on my haircut. He let me know exactly how he was going to style it and did better than what I had envisioned. Super friendly, very polite and very helpful would highly recommend this place.
Got a great haircut from Harvey! Super friendly and easygoing vibe. Will definitely be back!
Great service and barbers who know what they are doing. Would 100% recommend. Andy is my go to and he is the man!
Tony La is the man. Great haircuts, good conversation, and a solid attitude. No wonder he's always booked up!
Absolutely amazing, clean and professional shop! Andy got me in last minute and gave me one of the best cuts of my life! Good prices, good music and awesome people
I got a haircut with Steven and ended up with the cleanest haircut of my life. Def check him out.
Went here for the first time recommended by someone, and it was in the one of the best barber shops I've been to. If you haven't been yet, book an appointment now!
First off, this place is more than just a place to get a fresh fade. It’s a place you go to when you want to treat yourself, get yourself cleaned up and feel like you’re the freshest guy out there after each cut. Andy is my go-to but all the other barbers in the shop are amazing. Can always strike a good conversation in the shop while getting the freshest fade in town. Highly recommend them (can’t stress this enough since I’ve been going here since 2016).
The only place I get my haircut. Good people. Never disappointed.
If you’ve got hair on your head and it needs a cut then get down to New Shanghai Barbershop. Tony, Justin and the crew provide a great service. You won’t be disappointed!
Before the Covid-19 pandemic a question I frequently got asked was “Where do you get your haircut?”. My answer with extreme enthusiasm was always “New Shanghai Barbershop”. The cuts there are always 5 star quality, clean and precise. The barbers there are skilled and always improving. Every time I ever referred someone to New Shanghai they came back extremely satisfied. After the restrictions of Covid-19 let up and BC entered there Phase 2 of reopening the economy. I can still proudly recommend New Shanghai. The team there have set up an extremely safe environment. The cuts have seem like they’ve improved if that’s even possible. It’s clean and the proper precautions have been put in place. If you’re looking for a spot to get your haircut. This is it.
Great haircut, but unfriendly vibes, and expensive. It was awkward and uncomfortable getting my haircut inside there. I would expect a little more service from a $40 cut.
Cool shop, great group of guys, and a good haircut.
Awesome cuts & awesome barbershop culture! Well worth the trip into the city!
The best cut I’ve ever gotten followed by the friendliest staff! I’ve been getting my hair cut from Andy the past 4 months and New Shanghai Barbershop has been nothing but fantastic! Such a friendly atmosphere followed by great professionalism. They make you feel right at home!
top tier barber shop. amazing level care & attention to detail. the staff are always perfecting their craft to strive for excellence. been going to them for my long hair and short hair ive never been disappointed!
This is my main shop. I go to Andy, and he always has a great eye for detail and great conversation. The whole crew is super friendly and unpretentious and the value is awesome. Never had any issues with having to wait for my appointment time or being rushed through a cut like other places. Highly recommend. Have multiple friends who get cut here as well.
Brand new joint run by some great people. I followed my barber here when they opened up as they're all that great at what tehy do. Good prices, great crowd, cool space. Really, I'm not sure what else you need
Great barbershop. Travis does a great job, but I've seen other haircuts from other barbers and they're great too!
Best barbershop in the city.
New Shanghai’s ability to consistently provide A1 haircuts is one of the many reasons why I send all my friends there. It’s a chill, inviting environment, full of professional barbers and apprentices. The owners are amazing and constantly evolve the shop to fit the latest recommendations regarding safety and protection of clients and staff. Seriously, do yourself a favour and go to New Shanghai. You’re missing out if you don’t.
Been getting cuts from Justin for over 4 years now and I always look forward to seeing him. The cuts are always on point and the fades are always fresh. The attention to detail Justin puts in with each cut is unparalleled. The atmosphere at the shop is always chill - with great tunes, the shop dog, and a great bunch of down to earth barbers. Since COVID, they have put in measures to ensure the safety of both customers and barbers, including sufficient distancing, sanitizing of supplies and tools, requirement of masks in the shop as well as a newly renovated washroom that is squeaky clean!
A fantastic barber shop with a great atmosphere. A lovely place, despite being in an adventurous part of town. Always friendly staff. Make sure you book an appointment, walk ins are maybe accepted but not reccomend
This place is the bomb. All of their barbers know EXACTLY what the freshest cuts are and always cater to your head of hair personally, which I really appreciate. I've been going to Justin for about 5 years and when he opened his own shop about 2 years ago, you know I had to follow him there. He always surrounds himself with the most talented and personable crew. I would reccomend this barbershop over any other barbershop in Vancouver. Period.
I get hooked up by Justin or Tony depending on my schedule. This is a real barbershop where you can talk current events, music, or whats happening in Chinatown. After the re-open, they guys have taken every precaution to make it a safe place of business from temperature checks and extra cleaning in between cuts. My last cut was for my wedding and Justin took the extra attention to make sure I looked good on my big day!
Best barbershop I've ever been too. Great people, great cuts. They took me from my 10 year old buzz cut to my first time with longer hair. I always go to Justin but Tony's cut my hair as well and they are all great. If for nothing else, go for the dog JR.
Talented, friendly group of guys that are really passionate about their craft. Tony's been cutting my hair for the last 6+ years. Before him, I was trying out different barbers every month and none ever really felt right. He took the time to get to know me and my hair, and the cuts are consistently great. Definitely recommend them!
I don’t usually leave reviews, but New Shanghai really deserves it. I’ve been coming to this shop for two years now, and am always amazed by the quality and care that goes into each haircut. These guys don’t cut corners!! Especially now with new safety measures in place, you can rest easy knowing that everyone is following the rules to keep the community safe. Best barber shop in town!
Best barbershop I've been to. I would like to thank Andy for his attention to detail, consistency, and the amazing haircuts. Would definitely recommend!
New Shanghai Barbershop is the place to be to get the freshest of fades. My guy Andy is a solid, friendly guy who is always focused in on his cuts. Andycuts is the man
Tony is the BEST. I live in kelowna but I only get my beard trimmed in Vancouver by Tony, its all about the details.
Hands down the best barber shop in all of Vancouver! I’ve been seeing Justin for about 2 years now and he nails my cut every time. All the staff there are super friendly and easy to talk to, everyone I see walks out looking as fresh as possible. 12/10 would recommend to anyone!
Justin is a great barber and the team have worked so hard to get their customers back to looking good post lockdown. The shop is all social distanced, so you can feel safe that they are taking all the necessary steps. Great rates, a great cut and some good barber shop banter to add to the mix. Cheers J ????????
Best barber shop in the city! All of the barbers in this shop are experienced and progressive. Fantastic atmosphere and cuts leave you feeling refreshed and confident. The finite details of their service exceed expectations and I am thankful that I have not only a barber, but a friend whom I know will take care of my aesthetics. If you are seeking a quality cut, this is where you go.
I’ve been getting my haircut at the New Shanghai Barbershop since it opened and it’s been awesome watching these guys not only establish themselves but to grow into one of the best barber shops in town. Great atmosphere with authentic and friendly staff and your guaranteed to get a good cut no matter who you book with!
Tony and Steven here are amazing. Their online booking is super easy too!
I highly recommend Andy! He cuts my hair regularly now and it’s perfect every time so I thought I’d leave a review. He’s professional, accommodating and cleanly. I won’t go anywhere else.
My boyfriend comes here for haircuts he’s always had trouble with his hair and would switch places very often, his barber Steven really took his time with his hair and now his haircuts always look great when we come here! Inside the shop is very stylish and clean and they have a friendly English pit bull that watches over the door!
Personable and great atmosphere, effortlessly gave me a tight cut. Well worth your time, thanks again! I'm going back that's for sure!
great place for a haircut,josephine was excellent and very friendly,i would definitely recommend,and will be back for another buzzcut soon.
i put the whole squad on this place, lookout for andy! he rlly cut hair crispy clean fam. he like the MJ of cutting hair. 69/10 would cut again ;)
The best barbershop in Vancouver. I go to Andy whenever i need a cut and he always does an amazing job. They really care and will do their best to give you the desired look and make you feel at home. Andy is now a good friend and it just shows how engaging they are with their customers.
Excellent service and high quality haircuts. I've been going since they've opened and I wouldn't go to any other barber
Friendly atmosphere as well as the best hair cut I’ve ever had. Steven was both very professional and was great to converse with.
If you’re looking for a cut always ALWAYS hit up Andy. Super nice guy and the hot towel you get after the cut is the cherry on top. He’ll get you looking clean for any occasion 10/10
Andy has been cutting my hair for more than 2 years and Ive never been disappointed. Everything about this place screams style and class. Its worth it! How worth it you ask? I commute Hour and a half to come to this place hehe
This place is great. The guys are awesome, they have a dog, and the freshest cuts in town. Andy has been cutting my hair for 3 years now and he always does a good job.
Been coming to see Justin for haircut since before he and his team opened up this shop. Best haircuts in town. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to step up their haircut game.
I have been going to see Tony for just under a year, and I have left with a great cut every time. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a new barber shop to try them out.
The guys at New Shanghai Barbershop are friendly! The shop itself is clean and bright. My guy, Andy, knows his craft and is always learning to get better. I trust him 100% with my hair and to make me look good!
This place is great! Andy does an amazing job at fades and remains my favorite barber! Service is amazing and everyone is friendly! I highly recommend this place!
I’ve been coming to this shop for 3 years now, and till this day my haircuts have been on point. The staff here are very friendly and are always welcoming. Visit this shop, especially @andy_cuts for the best haircuts
Best barbers in town! Justin, Tony and the rest of the crew do amazing cuts and provide excellent service for their customers. They have taken safety very seriously during the pandemic so I will continue getting my cuts there as per usual.
I’ve been going to New Shanghai since they first opened and I have never walked out with a bad haircut. I’ve been seeing Tony since 2014 and have followed him for 3 different shops. I tend to change up my hairstyle often and tony always knows how to get the job done right. I’ve also seen the other Sr. barbers when Tony has been away and they all put in quality work. No matter who you see at New Shanghai, you’re guaranteed a professional and quality experience and you won’t be disappointed.
I moved to Vancouver one year ago this month from the Bay Area, CA-US. I found New Shanghai on Instagram. I was impressed with photos of Andy’s work so I made an appointment. When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted with a friendly smile and acknowledgement from Justin and even his dog Junior. Andy also offered a friendly greeting and listened carefully as I explained the haircut I had in mind. During the cut we had genuine and casual conversation and he delivered exactly what I requested. I was so impressed with my cut that I have been going to Shanghai ever since. I’ve had everything from low bald fades to tapers and blends.His clippers and scissor game is quite impressive and is a clear reflection of his dedication to his craft. I highly recommend.
My boyfriend has been seeing Steven for over a year, but it feels like we've known him even longer. We have built a great professional and personal relationship with him. He listens very empathically and always gives great advice on after care and styling. He has always been very flexible with my boyfriend even during hair emergency he is willing to go that extra mile which is hard to find these days. The shop is super clean and we have always felt covid safe. Thanks Steven and everyone at New Shanghai Barbershop!!
Steven, my barber, has said to me that their shop is built around a community of people that helps each other thrive and improve in their craft, but I can also see that they don't lose sight of making everyone that walks into their shop comfortable and taken care of. The place is clean, staff is fun to talk to, great taste in music, and my requests are driven to the best of their abilities. Steven may be less experienced than some of the barbers there, but the passion and quality of his cuts are a shining example of what makes this place so great. Thanks I'll see you guys next time!
All the staff at New Shanghai is wonderful. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere every time I go in for a haircut. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional haircut.
These guys are always on time, professional, and have very high standards. I've been before and after covid and will continue to go here as I feel they are keeping everyone's safety and best interests in mind.
One of the many gems of chinatown, this barbershop has come in clutch on so many occasions. If you're looking for a new barber, please don't hesitate to get a cut from anyone, especially Andy. Andy really takes good care of his clients, he pays close attention to every client's preferences, and he focuses on all the small little details other barbers would likely miss or not care about. Honestly this is the place to go, these guys will do you right
Like some of the other reviewers, I've been following these guys from previous shops until they opened this one. Would highly recommend to everyone who wants not only the best cut in town, but also for an overall better experience. Once you sit in one of these chairs, you won't want to go anywhere else! Go out of your way to stop by!
Went into the shop and got the sickest fade I have ever gotten in my life by this kid named Patrick , absolutely flawless . Cool atmosphere , cool staff . Yeah that kid I'm refering all my friends too go there . I will be back too
Been going here since they opened couple years ago. Amazing people, clean and hip atmosphere and the best fades and haircuts. Tony is my guy but I've had Andy and Justin as well and they are equally professional and great people. You won't be disappointed !
Great place to get a cut! I've always been getting cuts from Andy and I've never been disappointed once. Owner is super friendly as well and will always greet you when you come in.
Great atmosphere, reasonable price for sick cuts, knowledgeable and creative barbers, will recommend.
I've known Andy for a long time and have watched him grow from cutting hair in his living room to where he is now. He is always a pleasure to be with, attentive to detail, constantly strives to improve his craft, and making me feel fresh! All the barbers at the shop are friendly when you walk through the door. Best barbershop in Vancouver. ????
New Shanghai Barbershop is THE place to be when looking for a fresh cut in a convenient location and at a reasonable price. Justin, Tony, and Andy are three of the chillest, but yet most professional barbers there are in town. I have been getting cut by Justin and Tony for about 7-8 years now and their dedication towards their craft has never wavered. Their fades are unmatched and they cut all different styles and hair types with ease. The shop is also always very clean and equipped with a mini fridge stocked with drinks and a pool table for your comfort and leisure. Easy to set up appointments too via text or online on their website. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new barber or a fresh cut!
Came in to see Tony one day and I’ve never went to a different barber ever since. Guaranteed the freshest cut you’ll ever get. 10/10 would recommend but you do have to book 2 weeks in advance so you better book now!
I love this barber shop. Every time I walk in, I feel like Fat Albert seeing his buddies (“Hey, hey, hey!”), a member of the Sweat Hogs of “Welcome Back, Kotter” and a can’t-wait-to-get drunk Cliff Claven on ‘Cheers’…”where everybody knows you’re name”.
Came in for a fade before a night out and it looked great! I went with Andy (@andycuts), hes a super chill guy and easy to talk too. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a new barber.
Good place got cut by Richard Chia, and was very satisfied!
Book with Tony. He’s the best in town!
The mix of professionalism, fun and friendliness at new Shanghai is unmatched by any barber in town. I usually go to Andy and everytime I sit down we work together on building my hair into the style that I love. Andy is super friendly and his fades are unparalleled by any barber I’ve been too. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a fresh fade and cut!
I’ve been going to Justin for over 5 years. There is always a friendly conversation throughout, and the service has been top notch. Would highly recommend him and the barbers at New Shanghai. They even opened the shop for myself and my groomsmen to get fresh cuts and get ready before my wedding.
Been getting hair cuts at this barbershop for awhile. Highly recommended! Justin has one of the best fade and he is super attentive. If you want a barber that remembers your haircut and gives out the best every time, then New Shanghai is the place to go.
If u ever come by this barber shop you gotta hit up Andy. Best barber in town and gives the sickest cuts
Had a haircut here with Andy, he was offering free haircuts on Facebook to boost his clientele, he did a great job and was very merticulous in his work. Shop is very clean and tidy . Would recommend trying them out.
Highly talented barber shop in Vancouver. Great group of guys!
I get my haircuts from Andy pretty regularly. He's very friendly, detail oriented, and gives very high quality cuts.
Been getting my hair cut by Andy for a few months now and I always get an amazing cut every time. 10/10 would do again
Amazing service, got my haircut from Steven. Very professional, good environment. Will definitely come back again.
Get my cuts off Jordan regularly, amazing barber and provides fantastic service all round. 10/10 would recommend!
One of the best barber shops I've been to in Vancouver. Great service and overall experience. My barber was Andy. He was very knowledgeable and was able to tell me things about my hair that I never knew while at the same time giving me exactly what I wanted. Every seat in the shop was full and I did not see a single bad haircut!
Andy has been cutting my hair since he was an apprentice at the shop and he always provided the freshest cuts every time. He takes very good care of his clients which makes me book back with him time and time again. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a new barber or wanting to upgrade their hair game!
I've been getting my haircut at New Shanghai Barbershop for about three years now. Justin cuts my hair here these days and is excellent. Justin & the rest of the team are passionate about their craft and the service they provide to their customers. Their response to Covid has been excellent. When they reopened, they were immediately on top of it. The temperature readings at the door, cleanliness, enforcement of mandatory masks all make you feel at ease. The atmosphere and decor of the shop is great. It seems like every time I return to their barbershop they have a new piece of art on the wall. My current favourite is a Kobe print done by a local artist. All and all I couldn't recommend this barbershop more. I don't live or work especially close to the shop, but it's always worth the extra effort to get my haircut here.
I went here and got a very good haircut from the barber Richard Chia. I will be returning ????????????
Been seeing Andy at New Shanghai Barbershop for a while now and he's the man for a tight cut. Always a good experience and most importantly always feel great with the fresh cut from Andy.
Have been following this group from shop to shop for years until they finally opened their own space. They put a ton of effort to fix up the old shop and create a friendly, comfortable space. Everyone I send here gives good feedback, so definitely recommend!
Andys amazing. Great attention to detail when styling and cutting my hair.
Shop has a great vibe. Very apparent all the barbers take their craft very seriously. Been getting my haircut by Justin for the last few years, and always been happy with his work. Online booking makes it extremely easy to get in. Highly recommend!
I've been visiting Jordan for cuts over the last few years, and I've never had a reason to go elsewhere! New Shanghai is always clean, professional, and on time with appointments, while being a relaxing place to visit. Overall I'd highly recommend a haircut here, especially from Jordan.
Nice place to get a haircut. Shout out to my barber Richard Chia
I don’t usually write reviews but if I can get one or two extra people to try this place out, at least I know I did my job in guiding them to the best barber shop in town. I’m not exaggerating, I’ve tried probably 15 different barber shops in vancouver/Richmond/Burnaby and this place by far has the most consistent and skilled barbers. I can say for sure if my go-to-guy Tony isn’t available, I could get my hair cut by someone else there and be ecstatic about it. The hospitality and genuine vibe they give makes cutting hair something you look forward to every week - unwind, relax and chat while knowing you’ll look like the next James Bond after the visit.
Best shop in Van. Clean and classic. Good vibes great cuts.
Tony's fades are 100%
The interior decoration is mesmerising, and the customer service is unparalleled. I've been here a few times and everytime my regular barber Steve had given me a cut that left me thinking "I didn't even realize my hair is capable of looking THIS good". Amazing.
Great Barber shop! Their covid precaution protocol made me feel very safe and comfortable. Everyone there is super friendly and you can tell they love their job and take great pride in the work they do. Highly recommend !
Started getting my cuts here 2 months ago with Steve. If you're looking for quality haircuts and service, this is it. Love chatting up with Steve and it's always a good vibe in shop
Been coming to this shop since they opened. The cuts are always on point and the solid banter is always an added bonus. The team at New Shanghai place the utmost importance on customer care. This is reflected in their post quarantine set up. They have gone through all the stops to ensure the safety of their clients.
Been getting cut by Justin for a couple years now - best in the city no question. Always look forward to coming in and coming back!
That guy Steven built different man the fade he gave me blurry the line up crispy. Fasho coming back to this guy
Great cuts, great people, and great atmosphere. If you're looking for a new barber or a cut for a special occasion this is the place to go.
Tony and everyone else at New Shanghai Barbershop are amazing at what they do. Extremely professional and easygoing. Their service is impeccable and I always leave satisfied. They always paid great detail to what I want done and the hot towel at the end is always a nice touch! I would highly recommend New Shanghai Barbershop to anyone looking for a fresh professional cut!
Getting a fresh cut at New Shanghai Barbershop is always a great experience. All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, they’ll know exactly what to do to give you the look you want. Shout out to Tony he never disappoints!
Everyone at New Shanghai are professional, clean and respectful! They take their time to make sure you get a clean cut and look your best when you leave. Inside is clean and covid is taken seriously. Booking online is simple and easy to read and understand. Don’t hesitate if you’re looking for a new place to get a cut.
I only come here for my cuts now and I always have my hair cut by Andy. He's super friendly, accommodates to my needs, and gives fire fades.
Hands down the best barbershop! Great atmosphere to be in. Can always count on Andy for the best cut.
I have been going here for 3 years now to get my haircut from Andy. Nothing but incredible service, pure talent, and great vibes. You will not regret coming here for your next trim. Highly recommend Andy, he will not disappoint!
Amazing barbershop! The first time going in I saw Patrick and I was highly impressed at his attention to detail and he took the time to ensure it was cut properly. Second time going in I booked with Andy and he was amazing, his attention to detail and curiosity to learn and to improve on his craft and is evident. Will for sure be returning
I've been seeing Andy for nearly 3 years now, and I can definitely vouch for him and his handwork and dedication to the craft. The guy is definitely driven and skilled to continue to hone his craft with every visit. I'm always happy with the haircuts and fresh fades by Andy, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results every time. The team at New Shanghai Barbershop have been the most welcoming and friendly place I have ever been to, whether it's your first or thirtieth visit, you're always greeted with a warm welcome and a nice smile. If you've on the fence about coming here, I would definitely urge you to come see Andy and try it out for yourself. There's no way words can accurately the feeling and looks of his fresh cuts.
I have been going to “J the barber” for over 6 years. My experience has been always excellent without exception. I have recommended him to all my friends and family. Some travel as far as Richmond and North Shore. He always communicate any changes with his schedule or vacation Incase of last minute fresh hair cut for the weekend. During these sensitive times, the shop has transformed to COVID friendly environment. Making sure all clients are safe and leaving with happy hair cut. If you already haven’t try these guys, don’t waist anytime and book your first appointment.
Unreal cuts with everyone that works here. Justin takes the time to ensure all the barbers are of the highest quality before he lets them have a chair in this shop. Top tier 1%
Been seeing Justin for 6 years - this is the best barbershop in the city, hands down. Been to many different shops and nowhere competes with the quality cuts and chill environment that New Shanghai provides. Consistently fresh!
Shoutout to J and the crew at New Shanghai Barbershop for giving the cleanest cuts in the game! Super impressed on how great the shop is with the COVID19 health and safety guidelines.
Everyone at the shop is super friendly and easy-going. Andy is my go-to and has been cutting my hair for over 2 years. He helped me develop a bunch of new styles that really suited my stubborn, thick hair and his fades are always on point. Ever since coming here people won’t stop complimenting my hair or asking how much my cut costs. It’s gotten to the point where it’s actually really annoying haha. One of my favorite things about this place is they're always on time. If your appointment is for 4, you're getting in the chair at 4. I've never once had to wait.
Great set up with experience barbers! Highly recommended
Great atmosphere, always greeted by the entire shop on arrival, and the cuts are always top quality.
The fact that Andy doesn't do very much beyond working on his craft really shows in the quality of haircuts I receive. Throw in great conversations with him and Justin, the owner, and you got a barbershop that truly stands out among the many many subpar/low quality ones that call Chinatown home.
Awesome shop and great guys. Go see Justin and he'll make sure you have a dope haircut and an awesome conversation!
I have gone to Andy for a beard trim several times. I swear he makes me better looking every time I go. Besides being an excellent barber, Andy is a friendly and kind person. I look forward to seeing him and knowing I will be getting a great beard trim.
The best place I've found around town for getting my haircut. Reasonable prices considering their top quality cuts. Easy booking process through their website, and they've always been on time for me. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Thanks for your awesome service, Andy!
Best fade in town, no denying it. Been coming here for years and don’t plan on ever going anywhere else
Andy has been my barber since August 2019. Clean fades with awesome and friendly service. Booking is very easy (gotta book ahead of time) and efficient. Its a cool place and kept really clean. One comment would be more payment options as sometimes I forget to bring cash.
I've been getting haircuts from Tony since he was an apprentice Always provides great haircuts and fades. Great guy to talk to! I would not hesitate to book haircuts here! Beyond Excellent service!
Been seeing Andy for haircuts for a few months now, and I've always had a great experience Great staff, great barbershop - they even gave me an umbrella when I wasn't ready prepared for the rain!
Hands down the best barbershop in town! And I grew up in Vancouver trying many barbershops. Justin goes out of his way to create the best experience possible. Always great cuts and attention to detail. Awesome guy to talk to too! The interior has an awesome design vibe ! Don't miss this gem. Reviews speak for themselves.
Easily the best haircuts I've had in town. Andy consistently gives kickass fades that I've gotten compliments for. And he's super friendly as well. He's pretty busy (all the barbers here are busy) so book in advance.
My barber, Andy, is simply divine. He has helped me achieve the cleanest cuts that I didn't know was possible. His attention to detail is worth the premium pricing. Highly recommended.
Stopped by this place while passing through Vancouver and I think that was the sleekest, cleanest, and one of the most enjoyable barber experiences I've ever had. Justin was super professional and great to talk too. If I didn't live on the other side of the country I'd definitely be a regular.
I've been going to NSB for years. Tony, Justin, Andy and the team are the best barbers in the business and it doesn't hurt that they are great guys as well. I always look forward to my haircuts because I know that I'll get a fresh consistent cut, they are always punctual, and the conversations are genuine and engaging. Can't ask for more from a barbershop!
Its lid
Travis has been cutting my hair for over 5 years now. Glad he's got a space with some amazing and incredibly talented people. Chill vibes and good times all around.
"Wow, what a crazy fade" was my reaction after Kristyna asked me what I thought. From the Happy Beginning (wash and mini massage) to the entertaining conversation to the hot towel service, and then to the blowdrying and styling, it's the reason I always go back to her.
A rare gem in the heart of China town. I decided to book an appointment with Tony, one of the cofounders of the shop and was surprisingly amazed with his talents! The entire cut was enjoyable, comforting, stress-free and just wholesome in general. He put a lot of attention into detail and pointed out anything that my previous barber had missed and gave me what is possibly the most respectable haircut I’ve had my entire life. Waking up this morning I just feel a lot more confident and better about myself which is why I absolutely felt the urge to leave this review on here for these guys. Definitely swing by for a cut if you need a change for the better in your lifestyle!
Got a cut from Patrick, really good barber, very thorough, would definitely come back to get a cut from him again! If your planning on getting a cut come here your fade will be lookin clean, and blurry!!
One of the best barbershops in Vancouver. Andy provides quality haircuts and is always looking to improve his barbering techniques.
Moved to Vancouver and needed a haircut... After researching barbershops online, decided to get a cut with Andy at New Shanghai. Welcoming vibe and excellent service. High quality fade+cut and I can tell that Andy has invested in his craft. Have been going for 6 months, definitely recommend!
Hi, my name's Cory. I recently went to the shop for a cut after letting my hair grow out 6 to 8 months. It was my third endeavor at Shanghai and I WILL NOT be going anywhere else. I sat with Justin and received the sickest fade I've ever seen! He was highly skilled and hella patient. Very humble establishment; peeps are super down to earth with cold beverages on demand. 5 stars with ease if you ask me. Thanks Justin!!
Post COVID - Saw Justin. Haircut turned out awesome as always. Everything is still as professional as before quarantine. Barbers, as well as, customers are wearing masks. The space is clean and my chair and tools were used before and after I got my haircut. No line up (everything strictly scheduled and on time). See 'em with no worries!
Been going to Tony since before this shop opened - I can say confidently he will be my barber for life. Everyone in the shop is super friendly - Justin is probably one of the nicest people around and Andy has joined my basketball league. Really good vibes and super clean and they are really great at developing young barbers. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new barbershop
After getting my haircut done here for a wedding (the store hosted after hours to prepare us for wedding), it is now my to go haircut salon. Coming all the way from Richmond is still worth it due to their fades. Insanely skilled for men's haircut
Definitely recommend Andy when it comes to fresh fades and a haircut. Will make sure you're always satisfied when you're done. Check out his IG if you don't believe me
Best barbershop in the city, Andy is my man, cuts are fire af highly recommend.
I’ve been coming to see Tony for several years now and he makes sure I leave feeling fresh with a great cut. He’s always been on time, consistent, and has amazing attention to detail. The entire team is super friendly and I love the atmosphere. I highly recommend! Make sure to make a booking online through their website :)
Best haircut in town! Justin has been taking care of my cut for the past 3 years. When he's on vacation his boys Tony and Andy are always there to deliver. Look no further for the cut of your life.
Justin bought the business off some very longtime Chinese locals when they were retiring. They honoured the name, the legacy of the owners and the local community keeping the name the same. Book with Justin. The dude cuts a lot of hair. great place.
Been going to this place for years! Tony is a brilliant barber and the shop has an amazing vibe. Couldn't be happier with my haircuts.
Got a haircut from Tony and I have to say, the other reviews live up to hype. Makes sure you get exactly the haircut you want and a great guy to talk to!
Been going to this place for about a year and absolutely love it! Cool interior design plus an adorable doggie. Also it's always a great convo with Andy and I walk out with a perfect fade every time!
Hands down one of the best barber shops I've been to! My boy Andy knows how to slay a hair cut. If you want to impress your homies with a 14/10 haircut, check Andy out. Great atmosphere in there and all the guys are welcoming! Will continue to go back. 10/10
Barbers are awesome.
Best haircuts in Vancouver hands down! Justin truly believes in the importance of excellent barber/client communication and this shows in the way he cuts hair. Not only is my fade perfect every time but my hair is always cut exactly how I would like it. When I first sat in Justin's chair he took the time to assess my current haircut and asked me what I would like to change and how I plan to style it. As it turned out my hair needed to be a bit longer to achieve the style I was looking for. Sure enough as my hair grew, Justin would make the necessary adjustments to ensure my hair would grow to the exact style I was looking for. It was extremely refreshing to have a barber think of your hair as a long term project as opposed to just haircut by haircut. I have even had 5 friends over the past year leave their current barber to sit in Justin's chair. So if you are looking for the freshest fade, best service and some great conversation then head down and see Justin at New Shanghai. You will not be disappointed!
If you're reading this review, I assume you’re looking for a really good haircut, and I can confidently say you’ve found it at New Shanghai. I’ve been a client of Tony, Travis and Justin since they worked at JD’s, and I was super proud when they finally opened their own shop. These guys put their heart and soul into their work, and if they weren’t good, this shop wouldn’t be a reality. I never leave reviews, but I’ve writing this one in support of a genuine group of guys who have been there for me before job interviews, weddings, birthdays, and after some pretty terrible days too. They have an online reservation system, book an appointment and see for yourself.
I’ve been going to Tony for years now, always perfect cuts and great service. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a barbershop in town!
My boy Justin hooks it up everytime. #1 Barbershop in Vancouver!
Tony, Justin and the whole new Shanghai barbershop are all quality barbers! If you’re looking for a great haircut, dope music and awesome conversation, look no further!
@andy_cuts is my guy here and both him and the shop are great. I was referred to Andy by a friend after I kept jumping barbers trying to find a place and a cut that worked. The shop is awesome and everyone is friendly. Andy is super personable and helped me settle into a good cut and a good shop.
Amazing atmosphere, top notch barbers and great people to be around. there is not a person i don't recommend to come here. Stop by to experience it yourself =)
This place is the picture of professionalism and friendliness. I can see how carefully they tend to my cut while throwing down the happy fun banter that makes everyone feel welcome!
Excellent social distancing protocols in place and followed closely. My first pandemic cut felt very safe.
Such a great barber shop! Slim keeps my man looking fly!
The best barbershop in the city. Been seeing Andy for years at New Shanghai and each cut is always done to perfection. They take their time to ensure each cut is done right.
Been coming to the shop for about two years now and I've always left feeling awesome about my haircuts. I've known Tony since we were small children and he hasn't changed one bit from being such a caring and attentive individual. Covid is taken seriously here and the shop and equipment are well taken care of and cleaned between each client. If you're looking for a new barbershop to try out, you'll definitely be in good hands!
Moved to Vancouver almost 2 years ago, been bouncing around barbershops and finally found a home here. Anyone that has cut my hair did a great job, I've stuck with Andy for the last few months and left looking fresh each time! The place altogether is welcoming. Looking forward to the opening up after the Covid lockdown.
I get my cuts with Tony and am always happy with the experience and the cut. He takes the time to get to know what hairstyle you're after and executes while keeping the convos chill and about whatever you want to talk about. You're in great hands whether they are Tony's or any of the other barbers at Shanghai.
I would like to thank Andy for a amazing haircut. It's been a long time since I used a different barber, I am very happy I did though . You can see right away when someone takes pride in their work, Andy is that person. I wouldn't say my haircut is difficult, but Andy went over at least 4 or 5 times to make sure it's prefect . As for the the shop. It's very clean and modern It has a pool table while you wait They send you a SMS a day before to remind you of your appointment. Will be back for my next Haircut.
I've been getting my haircut from Andy since he was an apprentice here and he's done a fantastic job every time. He takes his time to make sure everything is perfect. The place is really clean and I recommend it to anyone.
Been cutting my hair with this crew since 2012; never disappointed
I love getting my haircut at New Shanghai. I always walk out feeling fresh and confident. The place is very clean and the workers are all really friendly and professional. The atmosphere is very chill; there’s great music and nice aesthetics which add to the overall experience. My barber, Tony, always cleans me up real nice. He takes his time when cutting my hair and has great attention to detail. He’s also great with fades. What I love about this place is that the barbers are all extremely passionate when it comes to their work. They are always striving to better their craft.
New Shanghai is an amazing place to get a fresh fade. My man Andy always gets me cleaned up and looking crisp whenever I get a cut. His skills are unmatched as he is always perfecting his craft. I have been going to Andy for years and the consistency is always there. Andy is my barber but Justin and Tony are also amazing as well. I recommend any of them when booking a cut.
I've been getting my haircut with this crew for years and I've recommended them to many friends. Always on point with the haircuts and good vibes in the shop. Dope music and ambience. Get some Tony La FIRE!
Good barbers, super chill place. Cash only!
Been coming here to see Andy for quite a few years and in always happy with the quality of haircut he gives. Very friendly atmosphere in the barbershop I always enjoy going to get my haircut. Andy is top knotch!
Came here on a recommendation from a co-worker. Definitely enjoy coming here and getting my cut from Andy. My wife says the cut is done better than the other places I've been to. I haven't had to wait at all for my cut (maybe it's because I pick the earlier time slot), but I haven't had to wait too long. Will come back !
Been going to Justin for a few years following him from another shop to this one. Amazing barbershop highly professional and consistent.
Best barbershop in Vancouver, they'll take good care of you.
Been getting cuts from Andy for nearly a year, super clean fades and overall a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere of the shop is amazing too
Tony does a great job every time.
I’ve gone here a few times now, Andy is my guy! Very professional, always makes sure to ask exactly what I want, and delivers. He clearly cares about giving his clients a cut that they love and puts in time to learn his craft even better. Great fades and beard line-ups. Great conversation too! I haven’t had a cut with any of the other barbers but they seem really competent as well. Place is clean, inviting, and got a really cool sneaker book to pass the time if you’re early.
Been seeing Tony since 2013 and have followed him here.. so have been getting fades since the barbershop first opened. No one else does skin fades like Tony. Moved to Seattle 4 years ago, and I still make the drive back because no other barbershop compares.
Go see Tony (to be honest any of the barbers) if you're looking for a clean cut!
I've been following this crew around from shop to shop for the past 8yrs and I've had the priviledge of visiting Shanghai Barber shop every 3 weeks since they opened. They always put the customer first ensuring high sanitation standards and protocols are met even before you walk in the door. Top notch cuts & pure class????????
The barbers go the extra mile to ensure your experience post covid is clean, relaxed and organized. This barber shop is definitely the gold standard for cleanliness post covid. The barbers are also the best in the city and Justin is on top of his game as a barber. Best Barber shop in the city.
Best guys in town by far!
Great cut and friendly atmosphere! Talented barbers. Tony helped me change a few hairstyles that I was not brave enough to do before coming here.
I’ve been coming to the shop for about a year and have had overwhelmingly positive experiences. The shop is often busy so I will often book with whoever is available within my time constraints and have yet to receive a haircut I was unhappy with. The weight and uncertainty of COVID has been brutal for small businesses and it’s awesome to see them back! They’ve taken the health and safety of their staff and customers seriously, and it is appreciated !
This place is the real deal. No need fancy words and long paragraphs to describe but all you need know everyone at New Shanghai knows their stuff. Shoutout to Andy everytime I come, from being an apprentice TO DA MASTER right now. Man you rocking this place in and out. Edit: I damn sure I wrote a review before but probably haters report and removed. Sorry G.
I have been going to see Tony La my barber for quite some time now. Every time I visit their fine establishment I have been treated like gold. Refreshments while you wait and Junior the English bulldog to keep you company. If you are looking for barbers that can turn 10 cents into a dollar then look no further! Thank you Tony , Justin and Andy for the funny conversations and stories. DT
Great place, very hygienic and professional. Richard is very consistent and pays special attention to detail. Overall, great experience whenever I get a cut from him.
Fantastic barbershop with excellent service. The people here are not only very skilled and knowledgeable but they give off an amazing vibe and atmosphere. Personal shout out to Tony for always giving me the freshest cuts. You won't be disappointed!
I look forward to getting my haircut here every month. After 25 years of getting my haircut at magic cuts I decided to try a real barber out and have never looked back. The whole crew at this shop are all good dudes and the atmosphere is more like going to hang out with friends while getting a wicked haircut. I have been going to Justin since JD's and have followed wherever his barber career takes him good friend and good barber!
Top shelf barber shop. Ive been going here for years and my main person is tony but anyone in this place can provide a solid cut. Would highly recommend this place. Dont forget to give their dog junior a few pats on the way in and out. he appreciates it
Best barbershop in town!
Great shop - run by genuine and hardworking folks. Been cutting with Justin for a while who is very skilled at his craft. Make an appointment!
It's always hard to find someone that you trust with your hair but this is my go to place. I usually see Tony for my cuts but when he's busy, I've had the pleasure to try everyone else and I can say from experience that over the last 2.5 years that I've always walked out of the shop feeling like a million bucks. They have a customer for life in me as it's hard to find barbers who actually take the time to get to know their customers and provide a comfortable atmosphere that they do. Keep up the awesome work!
Awesome shop! Really impressed with the cleanliness and the vibe of the shop! Most importantly, the cut was perfect! Got my cut from Andy and I will keep going back to him! Would totally recommend! The experience was great!
Best barbershop in Vancouver. Everyone at the shop is very friendly. My go-to barber, Andy, is amazing, everyone does an amazing job but I like him most. He's self taught and is always trying to imrpove his skills. Occasionally I don't know what style I want, but I let him do what he wants and what he thinks looks good, and it turns out amazing. Great conversations throughout, which is nice having that bond with your barber. He's very professional and everything he does, he'll put 100% effort and it'll turn out amazing.
This barbershop has a great environment. The service each of them provide is quality and very professional. With my past experiences, I would highly recommend Richard; his quality service alongside his clean cuts always has me very satisfied by the end of his service.
Solid barbershop. Friendly neighborhood vibes
This was my first time at New Shanghai Barbershop, and it definitely won’t be the last. Great haircut, and the shop had a really cool vibe. Making an appointment was incredibly easy, and Harvey was a very skilled and friendly barber. The …
Steven and Andy are top notch. Excellent service!
Best barbershop in town!!
I have been going to Justin for the last couple years - i really cant say enough good things about him and his crew. Nicest group of guys you will come across. Justin is a perfectionist when it comes to cutting your hair and I always come out looking sharp. I recommend everyone i know to Shanghai Barbershop and no one is ever disappointed. Take a shot and book an appointment - its the most fun you will have getting your hair cut.
JUSTIN is hands down one of the best barbers in Vancouver. Don’t take my word for it, go see the man! His fades are on point and he is a true professional. Justin, Tony and the boys are the real deal. Definitely appreciate the next level cleaning and safety enhancements since re-opening. A great opportunity to support local!
Love the atmosphere, barbers, and the dog. Andy has always been my go to guy ever since he was just starting out here and has never let me down with his haircuts.
Places like the New Shanghai Barbershop are hard to come by. It's a rare combination of a fun yet high class atmosphere sistered with a staff of men and women who genuinely love what they do which is evident by their superb quality of work. Love what these guys are doing.
I’ve had nothing but quality cuts from the team at New Shanghai Barbershop. Tony and his soft hands consistently deliver 5 star fades. This is the place to go if you’re looking for the perfect haircut, & an overall a memorable experience! 10/10 would recommend
*** POST-LOCK DOWN REVIEW *** I've been seeing Justin at New Shanghai for some time, and have visited the shop since the lockdown was lifted as well. Every time I've been, I've felt valued and found the shop to be extremely professional yet very welcoming at the same time. All the guys there seem to enjoy what they do and are extremely appreciative of their clientele. I haven't gotten a cut from other barbers yet but I can vouch that Justin is exceptional in what he does and he will make your time in the chair well worth it. I can without a doubt recommend the shop and the barbers there and will continue visiting them in the future. Important to note as well, they have definitely done their part in maintaining social distancing within the shop as well. They ensure each client and barber has a mask, is temperature checked prior to entering, has their hands sanitized, and there are clear markings on the floor to indicate distancing measures. Do not hesitate to visit them now, or in the future.
Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. If you’re in need of a haircut in a few weeks hit my guy Tony up for the freshest of fades.
I just recently started seeing Andy after a recommendation from a friend. Couldn’t be happier, you can tell he knows what he is talking about. New Shanghai has a chill atmosphere and you are in good hands with Andy. You definitely get what you pay for.
I'd hate to have to find another place in vancouver to get my haircut or beard cleaned up. Great people working at New Shanghai, very relaxed atmosphere and most importantly a consistently tight cut. I have no hesitation recommending Shanghai to everyone. They make me wanna grow a better beard.
Hands down the best barbershop I’ve been to! I always get my cuts from Andy and he surely doesn’t disappoint. Andy knows what he’s doing and giving out great tips and suggestions about hairstyles. He puts in the time and effort and makes sure that he gets the job done. So far I’ve had no problems with Andy, and I highly recommend others to have a go with him!
Tony has never let me down
Best barbers in the city
I've been going here for a while now and it has been the best barbershop I have been to. The inside of the shop is super hip and cool, and it is always very clean. Andy is an amazing barber and my fades are always on point. I came in with a bad haircut, and Andy gave very great advice on how to fix it. He knows his stuff and I would definitely recommend going to him.
I've been to many salons and barbershops around Vancouver but none of them come even slightly close to this one.
This is THE PLACE! I couldn't find a good barber in my hood until this place popped up on google. For the same price you pay at a McBarber you get legitimate care from barbers who are always improving their craft. I feel like I've developed a solid rapport with Andy. I trust him to tell me what's going to look good. He's also as personable as they come. Go to New Shanghai if you want top quality in a chill atmosphere.
I've been going here for just a bit over a year. You can't go wrong with any of the barbers. If you're looking for some down to earth people to give you the best cut in town, you need to try this place. They'll take good care of you.
Hands down the best barbershop downtown. Great atmosphere, top notch work, and wonderful people. Kick back with a beverage and game of pool while you wait, and enjoy an amazing Barbershop experiance. Since moving away from the lower mainland, I still plan my trips around visiting New Shanghai.
Best barbers in Vancouver. If your expecting or wanting a good haircut, these guys will not let you down because as easy going people they are, they take their craft very seriously!
