Reviews of Athens Hair Styling (Barber Shop)

Munazza Khalid

My husband got his haircut from Mama Lena, she gave him an amazing cut, we loved it. We went again especially from Surrey, just to get that haircut. Best part is it's in the mall, so, waiting is not an issue for me.

Giuseppe Liberatore

The Best!! Been having my hair cut here for 30 years!!

Brushstroke Beauty Studio

I’ve been taking my son to Athens for regular haircuts since he was a toddler and I’ve consistently been so happy with the quality of the cut. The barbers are knowledgeable about new techniques and give great suggestions to change up the style and try something new. Very child-friendly and clean!

Jorge Villota

I've been cutting my hair there for a couple of year now (with Eddy). Their appointment system never works properly.

Hamidreza Rahmani

My first hair cut here after trying many other places including 5 in Metrotown and 4 downtown. So happy so far here. Angela did a great job. Exactly what I expected and asked for. ????????????????????????

Dominic Richard Winter

Eddie has been cutting my hair for about a 5 years now and he has never given me a bad cut. Consistent and a personable guy. I don’t want a haircut from anybody else

Fernando Torres

Nice service.

Beeb S

Farida is my go to person, a lifer as long as she is there!

Gino Ramos

Perfect service! Khalid lined me up good definitely recommend him!

Brij Raj Purohit

The lady gave a really good haircut..

Secret Avenger

I have been coming here for years to get my haircut by Lena and she always does a great job. She is friendly and always makes sure I am happy with the results. Thank you Lena!

Max Qiang

Bad hair cut for the price

Jason York (Jork21)

Quick and easy haircut, $20 for men. Very busy on the weekends.

D

Been coming here for a long time. The girls that were here from the beginning are fantastic but some of the guys that are fairly new are clueless in service.

Kevin Lee

Khalid has been my barber for years and has always done a great job. He is friendly and professional. I bet you will be happy with his work. Highly recommend Khalid.

Cristian Coronado

Eddie provided the best haircut I ever had in Canada please if you are from overseas and you are not sure where to go I highly recommend this place for a haircut. Really happy :)

Thomas Gx

So, Like, they cute with the scissors, trim with the electric buzzer, and give you a fine cut. You will come out in a glow, good for weeks, " it has happened to me " many times, like exclusively have had my hair done here, over the past Ten years,

Armand Bejar

Eddie and the Athens staff are a friendly bunch. I have been getting my haircut here every 2/3 weeks for over 4 years now. I keep coming back because of the consistency of my cut, the convenient tablet sign-in when its busy, and the excellence customer service they provide. If your in need of a good cut, Athens is worth a look.

Bhinda Faridkoti

awesome staff, i dont know what his name was james, he is a good barber, next time i just hope your a little gentle. Good Service and price is a little high would recommend to others

ryan moreau

Best haircut I've ever gotten, James is the best barber they have and is straight out amazing. He talks nicely and cuts hair really quick and really well. Its amazing how well he cuts hair. 5 stars, i come here regularly and its always a treat.

Isaiah Hansen

Jalal was very personable and well spoken. Him and Angela made my visit more than great. Athens has great prices and there was almost no wait when I came in. Would recommend to anyone.

Matthew Chan

After trying to find a regular barber, I finally tried Athens Hair Styling. I have now been going here for over two years and have no complaints. My barber is Jalal and I highly recommend him. He is accommodating, takes pride in his cutting, and is a great barber.

Ornilo Santiago

WOW! I was impressed how bad the guy cut my hair. What a terrible service. I am really mad. Please, next time try to listener your customer and don't say "Don't worry!" SO DISAPPOINTED.

Teymur Akhundov

Conviniently located place (Metrotown mall) with quite good service and decent prices. If you want to have a fast (15 minutes) hair cut for 20 bucks, this a right place to go.

Simon Cunningham

I have been seeing Eddy here for a long time. Now they have Khalid there also. Khalid used to cut my hair at another shop. These guys are both great!

Jeanine F

James is an amazing barber. He did a great job with my boyfriend's hair and he is always very nice and fun to talk to.

Thomas Cao

Solid pride, skill, and location

Daniel Polok

I've been coming here for a little bit and by far Zoriana is the best. She is super friendly, goes above beyond with her customer service skills, and is all around just the best person there for all your hair and shaving needs.

Desiree McPartlin

This place is the best for Men's haircuts and for my 1 year old son! They did such a great job for my son's first haircut ever and I'll definitely be coming back! :)

William Berube

Good hairstyles and cuts

arturo revuelta

Quick non expensive and we'll done haircut

David Tapgun

I read about this place from these reviews and wanted to go see it for myself.....i came in close to closing time, but the barber was great! There was a lady at the front desk called Heavenly, and i can say she was heavenly, pun intended. She was polite and helpful and the barbers-all of them, were friendly and did what was asked of them, the price was good, the waiting time was at most 5 minutes, would go there a second time

Hash It Out With Hevz.

I have been taking my brothers to Athens for about 6 years now, and absolutely love the staff. They all are so gentle, and very patient with them. The wait is never too long, and everyone is always welcoming. I have never left the shop feeling unsatisfied with their cuts, all the barbers are incredibly talented. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

Frederik T V

I went to Athens the first time at 11 today on Sunday. Rafi was fun, easy going and very professional. What an amazing guy! My hair is perfect! I'm feeling very happy today and will be a returning customer. They were also able to provide a mask for $1.50 which was convenient and understandable. Friendly cashier too! Keep up the great work! Fred

R. B.

A friendly stuff. Lena always got the perfect haircut for me. And she is very polite and helpful.

Shea Riley

My favorite place to get a great haircut! The prices are affordable and the service and stylists are amazing!

VB tile works

Lena is the best...

Jagmeet Sandhu

Woooww , SHALL buddy, you did awesome job ???????????????? 5 stars , really recommended ????????

Dave Fischer

Decent price, decent haircut and they are usually fast.

Tas M

Nice shop, the front staff was polite and she was able to get my brother in without much of a wait. He got his hair cut by shall and it looks really good. If you’re thinking about getting a cut I recommend him

Clayton Harris

Typically have good service here. Today really stood out though! Rafi was great! Really got to know me and very outgoing. I will definitely be going back to him.

Nick “Nick” Pashenkov

I can only tell for men haircut obviously. They do awesome job for a good price.

Charles Yang

Even in times of covid 19, they still offer stellar service. Furthermore, they adhere to safety protocols to ensure both your safety and the safety of their employees. Honestly, if you're looking to rid yourself of your pandemic hair, I'd choose here.

Sandro Do Nascimento

This is absolutely the best place to get a men haircut, hands down. My son and I have been coming here and getting the best grooming services by Khalid every time. He's very professional and skilled in every hairstyle I ask him to do. definitely worth checking out ????????????

Kyle Charters

My go to hair shop great experienced stylists quick

Danny Yoo

Cheap quality cuts since the time they were located in the space where the Samsung store is in Metro. Yes, Club Monaco used to be there too at one point. You know, when the food court was where the Menchies is now, along with that psychedelic video wall. Remember? Of course you don't. Because it's been THAT LONG. They have been in business for 30 years. Lydia, Angela, and a handful of others have been doing this since day one. Jalal, Khaled, they are all great. Same owners as Man Cave I believe.

Darren Gillis

Lena did an incredible job. Very knowledgeable in her profession. I'm extremely picky but she was more than up for the challenge. I had my last hairdresser for 10 years, I moved, Lena will be my go to for the next 10. Thx Lena

Ranj Rover

Was disappointed with my haircut. It wasn't what I asked for.

karin khera

Been coming here for years. Service is always great and the wait isn’t too long.

Alan B

Great place. If you go here, make sure Zoriana cuts your hair. She is by far the best hairdresser at this location. She will give you a $100 haircut for under $20.

Jim B

Great haircuts for a low price.

Tajveer Rai

If you need a nice fade and beard line up come see Khalid at Athens he's the best

Oleg Ivanov

Got terrible haircut. Explained what I want and even show pics. Got completely wrong result - classic Iranian style comb over that wasn’t feet me at all. ...happens, but Barber start calling me picky and telling me that it looks awesome lol. Anyway, very upset. This place for basic 5-options haircut. Don’t expect anything special here See the pic attached. She was explaining me that the part on the bottom looks exactly as on the top part of the pic and even better. It was much more terrible as she left longer hair as asked her to cut a bit to make it kinda acceptable But still, super super disappointed

napetrim

See my man Eddie!! A+ Everytime!!!

Stu Brunotte

I have been coming here since the late '80's and have never had a bad cut. Zoriana is my favorite, but they are all good here. Customer service is fantastic and they really work hard to ensure that your needs are met. I have sent many people here and they have all had similar great experiences.

T. Jim

I have been going to Athens for more than two years. I see Lena each time, and she always delivers precision and quality. Two times that Lena was not available, I had someone else cut my hair; once it was a new young guy I rarely see, and another time an Asian lady that I rarely notice. Both of those were bad cuts, uneven and noticeable transitions. So pick your barber wisely :)

ivan tasic

Lena and Angela are best of the best!!!!

Milad Baghouei

Great and fast service , friendly staff

Marco Lapena

This place is clean, professional, and I always leave happy. Go see Moe. He gives the best cuts in the business!!

Tylan af

I love the Ukrainian women here! They always get my hair just right! Mind you I am Ukrainian and they say my hair is too haha

javed manesia

Good place for hair men hair cut

Jesse Munro

Everyone has experience and great stories. Ask anyone there and they have at least been cutting hair 15 plus years.

Zoran veselinovic

Great

David Dryden

The main problem with the customer service is the lack of front desk support. Across three sepetate attempts on different days to get a haircut here, reception has been entirely absent and there's no way to meaningfully get information on actually getting service. It often falls to the stylists to watch the door and come over to address you. Reception on several occasions was missing or seemed to be preoccupied with socializing. I was very willing to give it a fresh start, but after not being addressed three seperate times, it's time to try somewhere else.

LEVA ALVARADO

Amazing hairstylist!

David Ng

This place is a decent place to get a haircut. They are pretty brisk at getting the job done. If you are looking for a flat top, ask for Janet. She may be quiet, but she's very objective and professional. Is it me, because ever since they moved locations, it seemed like they jacked their rates up? Sign of the times with climbing rents and climbing real estate prices...

arizona james

I went here on recommendation by my nephew, and was not disappointed. The lady I was sat down with had pleasant conversations to offer. She gave me tips on how to ask for certain haircut styles. News to me ????

Sergio Jimenez

Average haircut. I don't like how disorganized the lineup is, I felt I was wasting my time sitting there while other people skipped the line and nobody was in charge of a waiting list like any other place. Someone should be in charge, write names down on a waiting list and be more professional. They even have a tablet at the counter for customers to enter their names & preferred hairstylist but nobody uses it, so useless. 2018 UPDATE - They improved the service a lot! There is now someone at the counter taking names & the flow and customer experience is much better. I’m glad they fixed this issue :)

Dandy Lion

Service has been consistently good for bringing my elderly father in for haircuts. With rare line-ups on weekdays, they are usually fast moving anyway as the staff are quick and accommodating. Close to elevators and escalators to the underground parking, it makes the whole "get-in, get-out haircut done!" experience enjoyable to my father while being smooth and safe for me to get him to, all season round.

Takuya Umeki

The worst walk in experience I have ever had. I lined up for over 30 min without no acknowledgement, no telling of where I am in the line, and how long I need to wait. People just walked in and had haircut even though they came after us. The store needs to come up with a better system.

Yasser Chahin

Dino ,,,was perfect and fast in hair cut

Brock Johnson

Me and my buddies been going here for years. Fresh cut every time!

Fred R Jackson

Been going here for years now. Always a top notch job. Eddie's my guy but they always have a good number of stylists there.

Brenda Nguyen

Although they only do men’s hair styling& cuts I love accompanying my boyfriend because the staff is so friendly and welcoming.

Shahrokh Javady

Great staff. Quick and efficient

Nigel Stewart

Hot towel shave didn't even include a hot towel?? Worst razor burn of my life. Would not recommend.

Ramasubramani Muthanapillai

Good service at affordable cost

Mitadru Bera

Pretty good ! And decent

Farhan Uddin

Bad my barber didn’t line me up and didn’t even give me a good cut got roasted by all my homies

Javier Gaitán

I'm not a regular customer, and I didn't have a good experience today... The staff was really friendly, so I can't complain about that, but more than a friend I needed a good haircut, and the outcome was just wrong. To sum up, I ended up with a small wound on top of my ear, and the trimming on the other ear side wasn't accurate at all, which I only noticed when I got home, because apparently I was the last customer for the day. They took me in half an hour before closing, and I had to pay in advance, which is understandable due to cash closing... But I rather let the staff be honest than friendly and ask me to come back the next day or so, instead of rushing up to get the job done. Again, the person who did my haircut was super nice and talkative, and I don't doubt about his skills, but his work on my hair was not correct.

Omar Perez

Janet is objective n professional. On the quiet side but just as kind. I have been a regular for 5+ yrs

Chuck Farley

Lena cuts my hair.. has been for many years.

Ryan Carpio

It was such a horrible experience for me. Today was my first time getting a haircut here, and wasn’t expecting that this guy named James will ruin my hair. Firstly, I explained him clearly how I wanted my haircut and showed him a picture of it as well. He said he got it. But, James did not follow my instructions! He did what he wanted to do, and the way he did was just totally wrong (too complicated to type everything here). Also, I don’t understand why he was rushing to get my hair done ??! Like literally my hair was done in 5 minutes. Without my complaint, he wouldn’t probably extend his time to make my hair at least a bit better. James also needs to work on his customer service. He is not gentle, he’s got an attitude, he doesn’t even talk to you, and he talks in a different language with another guy watching over him (not sure why, but it’s intimidating), instead of talking to me or clarifying things about my haircut. One more thing, as he was cutting my hair, I already told him immediately that it’s not what I wanted but he insisted since he told me that he’s “not yet done”. I can’t do anything since he already started cutting it. Also, he told me to “pay extra” since I instructed him to correct all the mistakes that he did. But after that, I got disappointed already and gave him a feedback. This made me more disappointed and told him “why would I do that.” However, he suddenly said that it was just “joke”. So he just told me not to pay my haircut anymore and that it was “all good”. But what can I do with a FREE HORRIBLE HAIRCUT AND A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Im still unsatisfied and still unjustified. In the end, I was giving him a feedback again but he couldn’t give me a clear reason. I HOPE THIS WON’T HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOUR GUESTS AGAIN. I hope that someone can respond to this review.

Rishav Pathania

Just got the haircut here, it was done by Lynda if i am not wrong I asked for something else and she just changed it and said you have curly hair and you didn’t wanted short hair on sides. Would not recommend. Never go to this place again.

Ben Katz

I went in skeptical because of certain reviews, and was worried because I had an important event coming up and needed a solid cut. Astivan was great and knew how I would want my hair cut without me needing to show a photo, but it still helped. Friendly service from the staff I interacted with. Came in close to 9pm and it was clear he wasn't trying to rush home like some other barbers can often do. Great cut.

Nima Ebrahimi

I went there on Monday 6:20 pm. Although they were open till 7pm and one lady was free, she refused to except me with disrespectful behaviour, which was shocking for me who have gone there couple of times. Another thing that the reception or clerk also denied to be helpful. That was pretty upsetting experience. You are done Athens!

Matthew Nelson

Always a pain finding a new salon, went here randomly and have gone back ever since. All the staff that have done my hair did an excellent job! Definitely check it out.

Harold Sodhi

Only reason I go here is Zoriana. She is 2nd to none

Anoop Arunan

Best customer service and a little expensive.

paramjeet singh

They suck

Jared Hernandez

Took my son in for a haircut and it looks great. Wasn't super expensive or anything either

Rick Wedge

I have been getting my hair cut at Athens for nearly 20 yrs but after getting 4 bad haircuts in a row, I'm done. The barbers need to let go of their vanity and put their eyeglasses on.

Miguel Hakim

The one and only place I go for a good haircut. I've been a regular client for over 5 years now and I can say that this is by far the best men's hair saloon in MetroVancouver. The shop is full of friendly and experienced stylists with short waiting lines and great prices.

Gail Leano

My son goes here for about five years now. We always come and see Lydia, she is very nice and friendly. The place is always busy and they didn't accept appointment. Waiting time is pretty much understandable. I never have any concerns about how she cut my son's hair.

Joseph Repole

The barbers here are completely incompetent. They don't even know the measurements on their own hair cutting tools, what a quarter inch means, or even going by millimeters. And it tells them RIGHT ON THEIR TOOLS! Absolutely terrible haircut... had to buy a hat. So incredibly frustrating, it all but ruined my day.

Nina Lynn

My son loves his hair cut fromJames, he was awesome to talk too, and was very in to new style in hair.

Mr. Al-SABER

I always go with khaled he is so talented and professional recommend for everyone

Danaya King

10/10 amazing. especially Romana, she cuts hair the best

Arsh

Definitely not a good experience! I will not reccomend ????

Jobo Mejares

Eddie’s been my barber for a while and he always does a solid job!

Ahmad Hamdoudou

(Translated) Zoriana is amazing (Original) Zoriana is amazing

brian wells

Great cut

OJazzE (HalfPower)

The guy cutting my hair didn't even try and come close to what I wanted and was hurrying so much. He didn't take his time to ask what I liked or disliked. My son hated his so much he cried on the way home and he's 14!

Keith Murray

Continues to be a fantastic local business. Friendly and inviting staff. Often busy, but they'll get you through quickly. Highly recommended.

Kapil Lohia

Nice haircuts, quick service, and friendly staff

Pedram S

Professional service, nice working staff, good location

Steve Lyons

Always have a great cut! Just had my hair cut again today & actually got a scalp massage at the end! Nice touch!

Alexander The OK

The barber was rushing and made my sides uneven.

Freddy

Khalid is an amazing barber!! I have no regrets getting my haircut here at Athens. Super friendly guy too!

Victor Minichiello

For the price I pay, I am getting a quality haircut, which means I'm getting exactly what I want. And the best thing is, I don't even have to have just one person to cut my hair the way I want it, because any (and I've gone through at least 6 hairdressers there) can cut my hair very well.

Luc Lapierre

I've always had a good cut here. Jalal is very nice!

Maria Fe Decena

Very attentive staff

brian Bateman

I got my hair cut at the shop for the first time, and i got a terrible experience. The guy named James cut my hair in a rushing mode, his attitude just liked kicking the client out for the next one in. I paid money for not just hair cut but for good service too. I wont go back there again.

Jessica Cristine

thank u. you are the best James.????

David Eyeless

Got my haircut from Eddie, he did quick and great work. Definitely coming back for my next cut.

Mjeavan

Khalid. Enough said.

夢子蛇喰

Very upset! Terrible haircut.... Explained what I want and even show pics, got completely wrong result. The "barber" wasn't stop telling me that I need to wait for the hair to settle... Yes, I need to wait, around 4 months to my hair grows up again ???? Sper disappointed ????!!

Denis Yuriev

Fast, affordable and friendly. Eddie is the best man for a business professional haircut.

Joel Yohannan

Good service. Satisfied with my haircut. Thank you Jenny and Athens.

Dots Gaming

Best place by far .. some stylist have known me for over 20 years . And they have watched my son grow up. Great place for a haircut and friendly staff

Alex Nurzat

I been here for 4 years now, Khalid is the BEST

John W

Please hire some good qualified hair designers. The one who cut my hair was worse than me cutting my hair myself.

ExploreInSights

Lydia - the hairdresser, She is the best,very friendly and professional. Moreover,she also cut my other family members’s hair. Highly recommended ????????????????????????????????????????

Peter Sampson

Over 40 yrs and still talking..

alonzo Mc

Great hair cut, friendly and hilarious guy. Highly recommend to meet Khalid at Athenz.

Riley G

I go to Khalid every couple of weeks for a cut and his work is flawless and consistent. Khalid is a barber with a wide array of knowledge on styling, fading, hot shaving and more, I recommend him very highly.

Eugene Perez

Been going to Zoriana for years and i wont go anywhere else. My cut is done fast and is always perfect. Go see her over there for a cut. Their new space is also a lot nicer and modern than the old place. Also, they do hot towel shaves now, so bonus.

Anthony S

I always receive excellent service from Zoriana. Never an issue, I've tried other haircut places but can never match her expertise and precision for getting the right cut. I have a very easy haircut, but other places never seem to do it correctly. Always hard to find a good hairdresser in Vancouver, loyal and true to Zoriana!

Karunagaran R

Helen was awesome in customer satisfaction and the saloon was well maintained and followed with social distancing

Kamal Singh

Nice place but too pricey

Kamal Barakat

Eddie is a gem. Great attentive work at a fraction of competitors.

Karl Benedict Beley

????????????

Alexander Mac

I've been coming to this place for a few months now and I really like it. They are not over priced, very quick and I've been happy with my cut everytime. This last time was the best far. Rafi did a fabulous job with my cut as well as being able to connect with me (I'm a shy person so that's not usually easy to accomplish). It was a great customer experience all around.

Nathan Cheng

Although he did what I requested for the style of haircuts, half of the time this guy was looking at the other customer while cutting my own hair, like come on I'm paying $20 dollars for a haircut! ( I think the barber was Khaled ). As a result, I got a terrible haircut that doesn't match and fit the shape of my head. I am disappointed. However, this is not to say that the other barber in this shop are bad, or the store itself.

Sanjeet Shivkar

No fuss, clean cuts,

Stefan Stan

Great cut every time. Been going here for years!

Mercer Zenith

Very hit and miss with quality of cuts, I’ve been to two stylists who did such a bad job that even after asking them to fix it I had to do it myself at home after and two great stlyists who gave me great cuts for the price (one being the manager who was doing a fix job for his employee). I’m about to leave on vacation with a butchered cut around the ears that can’t be fixed after going in for a basic trim to freshen up before my trip. Two stars instead of one only because the manager is good with dealing with the crappy cuts from certain stylists of his

Neil Denesyk

Great attention to detail and there customer service is bar none. Ask for Eddie.

Jugoslav Djurica

Great people!

Suleyman Afg

the worst place I have ever got haircut from. Unprofessional staff. Poor performance. Please avoid.

goofey mcduck

First and last time here, I came around evening hours and got BOBBY to cut my hair, he showed rude behavior and racist tendencies. Humiliating me while getting my hair cut while laughing it off as a joke. Disgusting and rude behavior for a customer oriented service, I suggest you all to avoid this place but if you need to go there avoid a guy named bobby.

Adil B

They have the most talented hairstylists in the business. Friendly and professional service led by Eddie.

Cory Y

Came in about couple weeks ago on Saturday morning opening time. all the current barbers chairs were full but there was one empty one. Saw a worker come in, I guess he was late and looked miserable. In my head I thought to myself "please I do not want him" few minutes later after he fixes his hair brushes his beard he calls me over. I wanted to refuse him but I guess i will give him a try. His name was James and i should of went with my first instincts to refuse him. I showed him a picture of the style I wanted and he said it was not possible he was not gentle at all did not talk nor even smile. Had the attitude that he did not even want to be here, which makes it a unpleasant experience for the customer. This was my firs time coming here and it was not a very good first impression..

Abdullahi Idle

I will never go to this place again for haircut. I felt embraced, discriminated and being racist. The manger was politely begging other barbers to do my curled hair and everyone of them was given me a weird look. staring at my hair. Too expensive and charge extra for things like lines and leveling the hair. They rush you and make sure they finish 1 haircut for every 10 minutes. They did my hair under 10 minutes . . . "done . done". just chasing money and not worried about the client coming again and again.

pyatras Butkus

Absolutely worst hair cut I ever had in life!!! Would not recommended to anyone, just ruined my day decided to there.

Patrick Turner

I've gotten my hair cut so many places this is by far the worse I can not go back

Pedram Ataee

This was my first time trying this place. I don't know about other barbers in this shop but the one working on mine did a terrible disastrous job on my hair. Never had anything like this before in my life!!!! First of all he was in an unreasonable rush and was not gentle at all. I kinda wanted to ask him to be more gentle but he just finished everything so quickly. I asked him to have my sides a bit shorter and on top a bit longer I do not think he understood what I said. I look like an idiot bald guy now!!!!!!!! so upset with the results. I wish I never changed my barber!!!! So disappointing!!!

Jason Polak

Been going to athens for many years, service is always great, and my barber jalal always gives the best, any cut i want, its always great, fast and friendly, i won't go anywhere else for a cut.

Bill Petrovas

Best Men's Barber shop & hairstylists in Burnaby by far. Over 30 years experience, professional staff with affordable costs for families. Haircut costs 16 dollars for men ^ 13 dollars for children. Highly recommend, especially if your in a rush. Very happy customer.

Daniel Li

I was very disappointed having seen my haircut when i cut home. I asked for a fade but my barber just traced an outline and did not even fade it in. Now i have an ugly patch of hair that sits on the back of my head

Nittin Sethi

Great place to get a haircut, very clean and professional barbers. Khalid is a great a person and an amazing barber. Would recommend it to everyone!

IronFistJordan

I've been going here for about 6 years. For the first few years going at least 2-3 times a year and trying out different barbers. I was not pleased with the end result or their skill. But, regardless I kept going once I got a haircut from Zoriana. I love her work. She has an extrodinary eye for detail and a steady hand. At first I would ask for the usual cut I'd get from any other barber, which was far above the standard of previous cuts down by others. And as of recently I requested her creative output instead of a usual cut and I was extremely pleased. She has a creative and stylish mind and have quite enjoyed each haircut she comes up with.

Brian Ellis

Angela is my favorite barber.

Clark Tuazon

Went to Athens this evening after 8pm and was super lucky to get my hair cut and styled by Bobby. I let him work his magic and was very surprised at the quality of his work and the quickness that he could come up with a cut and style that worked with the way my hair naturally flowed. I will definitely be coming back to get my hair done from Bobby again. Thanks for giving me a fantastic look.

jimy gold

Jalal cut my son’s hair and he did a fabulous job if you go to the Athens i recommend Jalal to cut your hair and the price is good

Cole Wilson

Great customer service but becareful who cuts your hair just my honest opinion.

J Fury

Very disappointed with the cut Lenna gave me. I showed her a 4 sided photo so she could do it and have a decent idea on what i wanted. I specifically told her that i wanted 4 inches on top and 3 inches length on the back. Even asked me if I was happy and i said meh. I told her that i wanted something longer and she said that she cleaned it up. Shop was nice tho. I advice going to a different stylist.

sam astifo

Best and busiest barber shop in town

Murvin Goinden

Was there this morning around 09:55a.m .very rude staff.just asked the price and the answer was"there is a list just look outside "and the tone of voice was really unappropriate. Staff need customer service. Very bad.

Canadian Freedom

There is a reason there's no line up. Three times in clear, slow English I explained what I wanted- only to get exactly what I didn't want ( that "I'm about to invade Poland"haircut) the entire time I was "yeah yeahed" by the woman who just did what she wanted. Will never go back.

karan mudkavi

Thumbs up to Zoriana….one who can make you feel comfortable and confident about your hair styling…..

A S

Good barber shop they can give you a nice cut depending on who you get but generally good barbers.

Sarosh Somani

I read Google reviews and tried Khalid's styling. If you want to throw your money away this is the perfect spot. I have a before and after pic to prove how pathetic of a stylist he is. Talks Big Works Small. Id rather shave my head off and it will look no different! You are lucky they don't have ratings in negative! Give me my style if not my money back! P:S - Khalid reached out to me on Facebook! Owned up to the mistake. Promised me money back and rectification. I take my words back. Talks big and works big too! Cheers to khalid and his team!

Sepehr Farzaneh

Bad

Stephen Kennedy

Not a very good cut . She was ruching the cut. Not returning

Ciaran Joyce

Great, fast, friendly.

I waited in line and yet they opted to serve someone who came 10 minutes after me because he had asked for a specific hairdresser.

I've been going to this Barber shop regularly since I was a young lad - over 15 years!! Go talk to Eddie if you have any requests, not only is this man an expert with the scissors behind the chair, but he's a hell of a conversationalist (I swear I've gotten free life advice from him). Rest assured, your 'doo' is in great hands with any of the other professionals in the shop as well!!! Best Barbers @ the best Barber shop in town!!!

Always get the cut I want, never left unhappy

Shahid Amlani

My first haircut in Canada and always went back until I moved out of Vancouver. All the staff are really good . I preferred Jalal as my hairdresser, he's amazing!

Amrajan Aujla

Went to Khalid, who did such a great job that I brought my brother. He also did an amazing job with my brother. Best haircut I’ve had in Burnaby at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Syed Daniyal Khurram

Bobby did a wonderful job on my hair. I had no problem in leaving him to style my hair as he saw best with no direction on my part. Also quite entertaining. Would recommend him to anyone.

Riley Hall

They cut my hair exactly as I described to them, and did an exceptional job. very clean tidy and bets of all quick. I will definitly be going back here again.

Great service, Clean space, and an Excellent Haircut, The staff here will take care of you. Everyone here has a great energy and the environment is open, welcoming, and comfortable. In terms of the styling, I was treated like an expert on my own style which was then complimented with getting exactly what I was looking for, a great haircut. Would I go back? Yes, as soon as my hair grows back, Thanks Eddie :)

shaun ram

have been getting my haircut here for a couple of years now. i always see eddie and he does an amazing job with my hair every time. not like some barbers i had before he actually takes his time and makes sure the job is done rite. the shop itself is super slick. new tvs on the walls. nice and bright. good thing is that its in metrotown and their is tons of parking. the only downside to me atleast is how busy they are and the wait times sometimes. but that is a good thing i guess if they are busy they must be doing good work. but if u go there and they are busy they have a system to add your name on the list for the specific barber and they will conatct you when its ur turn.

Amrajan aujla

Went to Khalid. Did such a good job I brought my brother, who also got an amazing haircut. Highly recommend, best haircut I’ve had in Vancouver at a very reasonable price.

Asim Anand

Good hair dressers

Ahmed Arabi

Been going to see Khalid for a few years now. I have never had a bad hair cut from him. He's always on point, super professional, and takes his time. When you walk into Athens he doesn't treat you like a customer, but a close friend that he hasn't seen in awhile. Highly recommend

Terry S

Been going here off and on for the past few years. Even though I've gone to other places, keep coming back here. Great cuts, beard trim and shape, and service. They just moved down the hall, a couple feet away from the old place.

S Tang

Done just right!

Brandon Chan

Very friendly staff everytime I have went. Special thanks to Amar for doing such a great job!!

John Edwards

Great service and staff.

Rico WAlji

I wanted to take this opportunity to let the world know that Athens is the best barbershop in Burnaby. I tried many, but one thing keeps bringing me back the attention to detail and consistency of my hair. All the staff are great but Eddie is my guy. They just recently renovated Athens and it looks amazing.???? ????✂️#bestbarbershopinburnaby #20yearsinthemaking

This place is a joke, i went in there cause of decent reviews, boy was i wrong, i sat down and the girl at the front desk gave me a weird look and asked what i needed.....well you work at a hair salon... What do you think i really came for.... Air head, obviously not to order food right? then she told me to go sit over at the wrong seat, and i was redirected by this this bald burly fella ..... I shoulda known a butcher when i saw one, i tell this man simple instructions..... Bottom almost zero, a fade ..... Top thin it out abit for layers to make it look spiky, ....... My mistake for expecting a guy going bald to comprehend that, instead he started trimming my head saying my side is not even and said he was fixing it ...... End result i have a lope sided buzz cut when i asked for for a minor clean up and fade.... I could have used a shaver and did this crime to my own hair, instead i paid a butcher 19.25 to do it...... First and last time im ever coming here, thanks Athens for making me look like a goofy for the next 3 weeks, if giving bad hair cuts was a crime, that man should be locked up for for the amount of time your hair grows back out, word of advise, never let a bald guy try to style your head ...... I feel sick i even have to give this place a star ????

Urvish S

Terrible experience Time of visit : 4 PM 2nd seat, haircut with James. Please talk to this guy, he needs to be sorted. James, this guy has been in the comments section a number of times. I wish I had read these before going there. Started by saying I have a bad hair cut. He did not listen to me, overheard what I asked for and kept cutting my hair. He rushed and was not gentle at all. I realized the trimmer he used gave me a harsh red patch on my neck. Oh my I was praying for the haircut to be over. Very rude. I will avoid this place at all cost.

Ivan Nikolic

Lena is the best!

Margaret Beier

Excellent hair styling from Ann Athans!

Darren Dominic

Eddie is the best barber in Burnaby. Get the best fade there great prices too

e bargados

Lena always gives the best hair cuts at a reasonable price.

sleve mcdichael

Asked for a simple cut, and it was completely butchered, bangs weren't straight, neckline uneven, and the sides are uneven too.

Omar Abdul Fatah

Always get my haircut by Jalal. The guy really knows what he is doing and is always very efficient and friendly. Love just stepping into the shop and being welcomed by the staff. If you're looking for a great cut, would defintely recommend Athens.

gustavo x

Me trasquilaron :(

Rob Newlove

Awesome

Ayrton Bundrock

Absolutely fantastic haircut as always, Jalal is an incredible conversationalist and genuinely makes my day every time I see him. I'll never be getting a haircut anywhere else!

Lok Han

Love the new location @ Metrotown...Staff is always pleasant and friendly. Need a cut in between shopping the stores @ Metro, I recommend visiting Athens...

Tyler Orr

First haircut I’ve had that was exactly what I showed and wanted. The lady cutting my hair was great and took direction well. She didn’t do the classic get what you get that happens at man cave In the same mall. I’ll never go to another barber in that area again.

Bon Dao

Just moved around the area. If you're looking for a fade. Estevan, (I hope I spelt that correct) gave me a awesome haircut in 15 minutes no "extra recommended" work that most stylist do. All I wanted was fade and a line and that's what I recieved.

Paul Mahovlic

Quick and easy

Billy Ganbayar

Very clean and friendly professional staff it's also very quick and eddy is the man to go see for sick fades he always take care of his clients just like everyone else they really care about u if I become a regular I definitely recommend this place.

ALI 604

Been going here for the past 15 years, same lady has been cutting my hair since, thanks Janet, she's great and can do all hair types and fades

Bill R

I live in Surrey where it is impossible to get a good hair cut. So I drive all the way to Metrotown. I have used 4 different Barbers at Athens and had a good haircut each time.

Kelsey Pootlass

I love it when the stylist/barber can cut your hair with absolutely no direction. Athens is great for this???? Lena is my Stylist/Barber and she is the greatest!!

Juan Ferdhinando

I was quite excited to come here to get a haircut after all these positive reviews about the cuts and customer service. However, to my surprise, I was misled. I arrived about an hour before closing time (at least 45 minutes) and took a seat and waited. And waited, and waited, AND WAITED. They completely ignored me. It was like they didn't even know I was there; my presence was completely unknown to them. If you can't notice a single person sitting out in the open, I wouldn't trust you with cutting hair; are you blind or just ignorant? So after sitting there until they closed, a gentleman entered the shop and was initially declined of a haircut until they gave in and said "Sure, I'll help you after this guy." WHAT ABOUT ME? So they finally "noticed me" and, here's the kicker, they kicked me out. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but maybe come back tomorrow." Really now? You completely ignore me and proceed to give a haircut to a person who wasn't even here when I was waiting. Terrible customer service; I wouldn't waste my time here.

Hassan Rasooli

Khalid gives one of the best cuts around Burnaby. Now he’s at Metropolis.

Lucas

Great place and price

Inder Powar

Amazing service. Best barbers in town. And they are great cutting kids' hair. New location also looks great. Great job with the design.

behzad radbooei

Eddie is hands down the best barber I have ever gone to. I have a unique and different haircut and have had many barbers butcher my hair. The first time Eddie cut my hair he did an amazing job right off the bat. It’s hard to find a good barber these days. Eddie is one of the very few. Thanks Eddie!

Sukh Mashiana

Khalid is the best, been going to Khalid almost 2 years now this guy is just pro what he does, beard line up and haircut would highly recommend him. Athens barber is clean and maintain shop they are very safety cautious.

Parry Sidhu

Khalid does a great job, I’ve been his customer for 3 years now , no complaints , very friendly , gives the best fades and beard line up!

Christopher Go

I have been going to Athens for years now. Place is always packed so make sure you phone in for an appointment prior to heading to the mall. I always go see Lydia. I have never been disappointed. Lydia is great. Place is clean. Line up may appear long but the wait has always been reasonable.

Matt Leung

Eddie, the man. Been going to him every 2 weeks for many, many years! Excellent service and awesome haircuts!

Brenan Gowler

I’ve been going here for years. Best place. Khalid is friendly and great at what he does! Thanks.

Kobra Khan

Excellent experience with Lena, very nice, charming and professional. Fast and priced competitively. Thanks Lena!

Dal Jawandha

Eddie is the best Barber in town. People wait hours for him. The new Athens is insane!

Gary Lin

showed clear photo of how the haircut should be with explanation. Barber said that they understand and to “do not worry”. Haircut was nothing like I explained. Did not listen at all.

Rahim Dhalwani

Eddie is the best. I always get comments for my hair, very expensive. i come once a month

Aaron Erskine

I have been getting my hair cut here since I was 17 by Lena. She is the most amazing hair dresser. But sadly today she was not there, even though I called yesterday and they said she would be. That is where this 1 star comes from. I had a, I believe, Filipino women cut my hair today. She completely screwed it up. The top was ok, but when I asked her to just CLEAN UP my beard. She cut it completely off. My beard is a huge part of my image (as some men can understand) I asked her to just clean it up and said specifically that i didnt want it shorter. Just cleaned up. I can hardly pinch it in my fingers now. When I voiced my displeasure, she laughed and made it seem like no big deal. Everytime I voiced by frustration, she responded with a laugh. This was not funny to me. Very unprofessional and I sadly will likely not be returning do to this experience.

toan nguyen

Khalid is the man with the magic hands.I've never looked better. James

Jkmx8h S

Everyime i go here i get a sick skin fade and its always good. Ive had 4 different barbers as well. Wanna fresh look come here. Reasonably priced

W M

Came here for the first time and I will say that they went above and beyond my expectations. Saw Eddie, who is a complete professional and he knows what he's doing. Will definitely be coming back.

Th3_ Cr34ture

My family and I have been loyal customers since the 90's and have never been disappointed with the service or the haircuts. We are loyal to Zorianna and she is almost like part of the family. She generally cares about her customers and our conversations are always colorful. But the rest of the staff are very friendly and welcoming when they greet you upon your arrival. No appointments are necessary but you are welcome to call them to make one. Don't trust the idiot who posted that negative comment at the bottom about his "5 hour ordeal". That "review" is an obvious fake by most likely a rival company or a spiteful so-called "customer". Haircuts are only $16. You won't be disappointed.

Jolyana Herbert

I have taken my kids to many different barbershops, but found all the staff here are more gentle and know how to truly treat kids. I can say that I tried every one of the staff and always was amazed by their quality haircuts and for a very reasonable price. I have been returning to Athens for many years and will only be coming here for the kids' haircuts otherwise it will be a waste of money. Thank you very much you guys and keep up the great work. Cheers

andy pugaj

It was my first time to have a haircut at Athens. The lady on the reception is nice and friendly. I was lucky to have Khalid as my barber. He did a great job just like on his reviews. Will definitely go back!

Kei K

I got a cut from Romana, and she was extremely friendly. There was no wait when I got there (Tuesday 6PM) and she carefuly listened to my expectations and questions. She executed a fade from skin to 2.5 and took a bit of volume off the top, exactly the way I asked. She talks to each customer like a grandma would talk to a grandchild, really nice lady. She was a bit rough with the clipper at the neckline but still recommended! Unfortunately she only work at Athens tuesdays and wednesdays.

B R

Got my haircut done by Khalid. Very talented barber. Have always been given a great experience here
