Wonderful. Greg and Mark both do an amazing job. They also have extensive knowledge on Kingston, hidden gems and so on. go have a chat!
Always great cuts and good conversation. Prices are good too.
Easily the best barbers in Kingston.
Great place! Fast and well priced.
Great men's barbershop
Unfortunately it was a pretty rushed haircut, I spent maybe 10-15 minutes in the chair. My haircut ended up pretty lopsided and it wasn't really a clean cut (looks pretty messy especially after the water dried). $17 bucks is a decent price for a haircut, but I would have at least expected a little more time and effort put into the cut.
Always a good cut. These guys know what they're doing.
Hands down best barber in town, cannot be beaten
Great place to get a great haircut. Best in town
Excellent cuts, great conversation, overall great barbers, father-son operation
Good haircut and great price.
My son had his 'Robert Plant' style hair cut today and he loved the end result. Great job by Mark and a huge thank you from my son. Definitely recommend Vecchio's. If I had any hair left I would go to these guys too, but unfortunately my hair is more of a search & rescue job nowadays! Will certainly take my boys back here. 5 stars for sure!
It's the best place to get a haircut
This Father and son team has kept me coming back for decades. Love this place and these guys.
Best Barber in Kingston.
Like no other
The staffs work great and are very friendly.
Took my 10 year old son here yesterday and he had his hair cut with Greg. It was a wonderful experience and when we left my son said he wanted to make sure he went back to him again! They were clean and following public health standards. Great experience thank you!
Great barbers
Mark and Greg are hands down the best barbers in town and they run a great friendly and professional place! Just ask them what you want and they will make it happen and more! Can get busy but it definitely worth the wait
Always my first choice in Kingston, we’ll priced and friendly staff
Amazing
Best barbers in Kingston!!
Always a great cut!
Came to Kingston, and while at a little coffee shop I asked a local for a barber he would recommend. With nothing but vague directions I found one of the best barbershops. Extremely accommodating and two excellent guys with a lot of talent. Thanks guys for a great cut and shave .
I have been bringing my son here since he was 2. Always best service style and price. Now hw goes on his own. Nothing bad can be said about them
Is this this same Vecchio's Barber Shop from the early 2000's? Father and son duo? Hot shave to trim you up? If so, their longevity alone should speak to the quality and value of their work. The mentioned lines are from loyal customers that come back her time and time again. I used to come back to Kingston from Toronto to get a haircut from Vecchio's when I first graduated.
Went in with a very messed up haircut from another spot. I walked out with an awesome haircut. The shop has a great environment and is very clean. If you want to go to a real barber this is the spot.
The shop gives off great vibes and the barbers cut crisp fades. At $17 the price is very reasonable considering the excellent service provided. Will definitely be getting my hair cut here again!
Love them
Get a fantastic cut every time I go and for an affordable price.
By far the best barbers I've had and I've lived in many major Canadian cities. Highly recommended 5+ stars
Cuts were good. He's not well setup for washing hair
I've been going to see mark and Greg for years now, and I won't go anywhere else. Their expertise is top notch, and the environment is superb.
Been going here for 2 years now. Great cuts for a great price. They always go above & beyond for my haircuts & beard trims. Greg & Mark are super friendly & personable. Best barbershop in town in my opinion. Glad to see they're open again
Amazing place great best in Kingston
Very friendly barbers. Nice to chat with and give a great haircut at a reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone new to Kingston looking for a fresh, modern cut.
Very patient and open staff that will do its best to give you the haircut you desire. Prices in line with competition in Kingston. Improvement opportunities: Beard trim might be done with a bit higher-end instruments.
Would have liked to thrown down a review on a haircut but never got that far. For all the hype I would suggest maybe get another barber working for you guys.... went in today around 11am and 6 people were waiting and 1 person working. Hard times to wait over an hour for a trim. 1 person working??? Although.... went back early the next day and got a sick trim from the younger buck. Definitely recommend
A family business (uncle and nephew). My husband has been going there for more than 30 years. He now has dementia and they manage his condition beautifully: always welcoming and delighted to see him, never rushing him, patiently assisting him to negotiate in and out of the barber's chair and being very respectful throughout. They always take care of trimming his mustache as well as his hair. It is often pretty busy but they have ample seating for the varied clientele who might need to wait. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
Beauty cut from the young buck!
Fantastic service. Extremely skilled. Could not ask for a better hair cut and atmosphere!
I'm a regular here. The shop is well maintained. Mark and Pat do a great job!
I hope you read this review before considering Vecchio's. I would express two points in this post: 1) The service was brutal and 2) the quality of cut was absolutely terrible. After reading amazing reviews of their work here on Google, I was THOROUGHLY disappointed by the utter impatience and subpar quality. The entire experience was beyond stressful and demonstrated Vecchio's lack of professionalism as well as inadequate hair-cutting abilities. I will try to explain below. 1. The attitude of the employee was entirely disrespectful. As someone who had never been to a Western-styled barber shop, I was unaware of the common colloquialisms used in hair dressing. (i.e. #2, #3 cuts, etc.) When asked "how short do you want it," I said "not too short," as I usually do with the barbers I go to. The particular Vecchio's employee made a point to express his difficulties comprehending the "not too short" comment, mentioning that different people mean different things when they say "not too short." I then showed him a couple pictures of the approximate length I preferred, to which he said in a very impatient tone that he still couldn't tell. Only after he began cutting my hair, did he mention that people generally used #2, #3, etc. to specify length. I apologized at length for not knowing the "right" way to talk about length in this context. I had never encountered a barber who absolutely REQUIRED lengths to be specified as "#2, #3, etc.," and I made that perfectly clear. Nevertheless, he continued to speak as if I was intentionally trying to make his job hard, which made the entire experience unbelievably tense. 2. The cut was absolutely horrid. Despite showing him pictures of the cut I wanted, the barber's end result was not even remotely close. When I asked him to fix it to look at least a little bit similar, he looked at me with disbelief, as if I had insulted him personally, asked if I had $20 extra, and proceeded to entirely destroy my hair. I literally left the barber looking like a wild animal. From the front, it was obvious that the left and right were completely unsymmetrical; on the left, the hair was short all along the side, and suddenly spiked up near the top; and this was not the effect shown in the pictures I gave him. From the back, the barber left 3-4 strands of hair sticking up about 5x longer than all the other hairs. Furthermore, the entire left side of the back was about 2x longer than the right side. Again, these were effects not present in the pictures. Despite all these inadequacies, I did not ask for further fixes for two reasons. 1) I could feel that the barber was angry and did not want him to make any more rash cuts to my hair and 2) He cut the hair so short that there was barely any room to make fixes besides shaving me bald. This is not the first time I have had my hair cut. I've had haircuts all over the world, in Germany, Hong Kong, USA, all over Ontario, and yes, in my mother's kitchen. This was BY FAR my worst experience, bar none. I've not even gotten into the emotional trauma I've have to endure, walking around with this "dead animal on my head" so to say. I recognize that this barber shop seems to be quite well known and respected in the Kingston area. They also seem to have great reviews and steady business (as I could tell from this review board and the number of people waiting). I am thoroughly baffled as to why my experience was so terrible. Not in a million years would I wish my greatest enemy to visit this establishment.
I absolutely love, love, love getting my haircut at Vecchio's! Greg and Mark are absolutely amazing barbers, and they treat you like you are family! And, of course they are both super talented and I can guarantee that you will walk out of there extremely pleased with your haircut each and every single time! I truly cannot say enough good things about Vecchio's, and it's safe to say that they are, hands down, without a shadow of a doubt, the BEST barber shop in Kingston!! I am already looking forward to my next visit ???????? Keep up the great work, guys, and of course here is wishing you all a wonderfully equanimous day, filled with peace, love, health, happiness, and truly so very much more ???? With all the Mettā in the world to you all today and every single day of your lives, Noah
Nice people cutting hair. No appointments. Be prepared to wait
Cash only. Short wait. Great prices and fantastic haircut!
Great place for getting excellent hair cuts
Good cuts, good conversation if you want. They're pretty busy though so make sure you have enough time when you go
The best barber shop in Kingston.
These guys do a precision job everytime. Been to many Barber shops from Vancouver to Halifax, and its one of the best. For us men its tough to find a place that cuts and shaves as well as these guys do. Small family business supporter but get there early.
Great location. Professional staff. Great service. Friendly and courteous.
Mark and Greg are fantastic barbers. Great place for a haircut with the old school barbershop atmosphere. My son and I love it here!!
Excellent customer service, had a really good chat with the barbers there about the effectiveness of Google reviews. (making this review rather meta). Barber was knowledgeable and helpful in getting me the look I wanted. Fair price. 100% going back.
Well... I thought I'd get a haircut and ended up going to a butcher instead, Thank god for Vecchio's Barbershop for saving what was left of my hair...
Arrived around 1pm and waited for 40 min for a haircut. Realized they don't take debit or credit (cash only), so I asked how much for a shave and a haircut and they said they won't have time for a shave. They were closing at 5pm. Do not recommend.
Always great. Pat and Mark and just great guys
Great Barber shop. Can get packed now and then but that goes to show how popular they are. $17 for a haircut is pretty cheap and they do a great job at it. Beard trimming is another $5. Cash Only
I went to Vecchio's for my haircut and trim before my wedding, and they did a great job.
Old style barbershop where the barbers take the time to get to know you. Lots of friendly chatter. No appointments and cash payment only. Great attention to detail in providing the cuts. It's a keeper!
Going to them for almost 3 years. Cut my hair for my wedding. Cut it best line wifey wanted it. Faded like a pro. I love them so much I could write a gospel song about Vecchios
Friendly, trustworthy, thorough, creatively artistic old school gentlemen, who have a tremendous memory, always asking about your kids, and how they are, how School is going for them, and always remembers their names, as well as your own name, a constant continuation of your conversation from last time you were in!! Highly Recommend this place for anyone looking for a great haircut!!
Great place for a hair cut and beard trim. Barbers are thorough in their work, attentive to detail and extremely helpful. Wait time might be a bit long, but is absolutely worth it. Will be returning often!
Cash only barber shop. Loved my cut. Super nice staff. I will definitely be returning.
Great haircut, be prepared to wait, as walk in only. Mark and Gregg are very professional!
Great haircut everytime!
Amazing barber in Kingston. I was looking for a a great place to get my haircut. It's hard to find a barber in a small city. Craig's a great barber. Will be going back again .
Quality cuts and good service but typically a minimum 30-45+ minute wait. Not the most convenient if you have other commitments as there is always an extensive line up of people.
Great neighborhood place. Can be very busy be prepared to wait
This place is great! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly atmosphere. Cash Only!!
I was really happy with the haircut i got here. I got a terrible haircut at the mall and i was told that Vecchios does a really good job. So i thought id see if they could fix the sloppy haircut i had earlier and i was really happy with how they were able to make it look so amazing. Ill be sure to come back for my next cut. Great job guys
Excellent for anyone.
Simply the best.
Absolutely best place in Kingston! Marc and staff are welcoming and top notch!
This is the best place in kingston to get your haircut!!!
My son looks great! First time visiting. Short wait, especially for a Saturday. $17 for a proper cut. I’ve been all over the city to find someone who can cut black hair - finally success!
Moved to Kingston and needed a cut. Went here once and had great conversations, saw some skilled hands. Went back wondering if I would get a smiliar experience. Different guy, same atmosphere; I keep going back. Some good collections of antique razorware there as well, be sure to drop in to at the very least take a peak if that suits your fancy. Top notch, family owned with lineage.
Awesome experience and got a good cut. Definitely recommend
Absolutely fantastic Barber shop, I've been trying different places around town and none stand up to Vecchios
Good cut. Reasonably priced. Not much of a wait.
Great haircut, on time, good conversations, and great atmosphere.
Have had good haircuts from both barbers. Classic barber shop, great atmosphere.
Best place to get a cut in Kingston. Well worth the wait if the line is long. Or I just come back the next day. Couldn't be happier with their service over the past 5 years
I just came from this establishment & I have to say thank you Mark for giving me exactly what I wanted, my hair has never looked this sharp before. I will be coming to your barbershop from now on.
amazing barber shop, was a little awkward going in there since I'm always thinking barber shops are just for men but they did an amazing job with my hair. and I cannot believe how fast they are. I usually am stuck in that chair for an hour or more.I was basically in and out. now to try and convince the boyfriend to get his mess of a hair done.
Good attention to detail, clean, and fast. What you want in a barber shop
For men, it’s simply the best haircut you can get in town. Always worth the wait!
So far so good! Just called to see if they offer full barber services such as eyebrow, nose and ear hair trim for my husband...and they do! The gentleman on the phone was very polite.
Been going to this barbershop for 17 years. Always great service!
the best place around Kingston Ontario i have been going there for 5 years had a cut done by both pat and mark and always been happy with there work and also with the new one that is there they treat you like one of there own and this is no lie i drive hour and a half just to go there to get a hair cut the only people that i know and listen to you the way you want your hair cut if there was more stars they need it i give them more than 5 like 10 over mark is awesome thanks
Incredible cut, incredible deal and an old school barber shop vibe. 10/5
Excellent hair cuts! Nothing fancy and nothing fussy. Get your haircut here.
Good haircut.
Amazing work...
The hair cuts are roughly what you’d expect when paying less than $20 but my main issue was the enormous waste of time my visit was. I walked in around 1400 today and there were 4 people ahead of me with 1 barber. Considering the speed of the cuts I felt this wouldn’t be too long a wait and so I hung around for ~30-40 minutes. The barber did an okay job of approximating the same haircut on different heads and one guy popped out for 10 min to return for his haircut later (this will become relevant later). I end up getting a call which I take and I understand that speaking on the phone can be loud so it’s not unexpected when the barber tells me to take the call outside. The guy was rude about it but hey who cares, I’m here to get a trim and if my call is bothering people then I’m happy to get out of their hair. Remembering the guy from earlier I pop back in after ~20-30min and the line is significantly longer now (maybe 7 people). Anyways, I wait for him to finish up another haircut (same style, same middling quality workmanship) and ask if I can go next and the barber tells me “No you’re at the back of the line now. I told you to take your call outside the window. Now you wait. I told you so.” His exact words earlier were “get out I don’t want to hear you on the phone” and he pointed outside. Not only had I literally seen somebody leave and come back to resume their place in the queue but the barber felt he had to tell me to wait again with an “I told you so”? There didn’t seem to be any consistency in the arbitrary rules set forth and while it could just be that the guy had a bad day, a modicum of professionalism would’ve been appreciated. Overall I saw 5 haircuts and wasted nearly an hour. If you drop by this spot you’re in for a mediocre haircut with terrible service at a good price.
I had been shaving my head for years and never bothered with a barber or hair dresser. There was a bit of a wait to get a cut since it’s walk-ins but it’s definitely worth the wait. ????????
Came here due to high reviews so I figured I’ll add one more. Walked in after no haircut but a buddy with scissors around my ears for the last 3 months and gave the barber no direction other than “I’m growing my hair out for a year but have an important meeting next week and can’t look like a homeless guy”. Did his magic and looks wicked. I’m in Ottawa but will literally plan my next haircut to around a trip back to Kingston.
I get my hair cut by Greg. Always has good conversation and I get a great haircut out of it. It's one of the hidden gems in downtown Kingston!
I just called to get some information and whoever picked up the phone was very rude. The ONLY word the person on the other end of the phone said to me was "NO" He did not offer any explanation, he just said "NO" numerous times until I hung up. I have never been there before, but thank you for letting me know not to waste my money on people who do not know proper phone etiquette or how to be polite when someone calls asking for information.
Looking for the best barber shop (note: NOT salon) in the city? This is the place to go. I've had my hair cut quite literally from coast to coast and this is one of the best places I have patronized. I've been going to this shop for the past few years. Marc and Greg are both skilled barbers and I always leave with what I want. They try to be clear on what I want and are not afraid to ask for clarification. This is part of their great communication. I've been there with 10 clients in line and the amazing part is that in our impatient, short attention span society I never see anybody fidgeting or showing impatience. Quality is always worth waiting for. And yes, it is a bit old fashioned in that they don't take appointments and only accept cash, but those are very minor points to me. Keep up the good work guys!!
Greg and Mark are very nice guys! Highly recommended. Online booking is very convenient.
Just simply good service,good chat and good haircut...like a local pub, friendly.
Good haircuts but too long of a wait... either get a 3rd person or charge more money. $17 doesn’t make sense if you’re too busy.
The Barber did my hair cut all wrong and basically cut the top of my hair even though I told him to not touch it and I told the barber to cut partial of the sides but the barber cut the whole thing.
The guys at Vecchio's always do an amazing job. If you're looking for a haircut, they're quick, precise, and do an amazing job.
Best two barbers in town I always an awesome haircut beard trims are awesome they're so good at their job they're always busy
Decent hair cut, though the waiting time was abysmal. I personally think they spend way too much time on chit chat. I don't think my barber knew what an undercut is or how to cut it. For the price, there are more affordable, and quicker options within walking distance.
Great barber shop! I always go here for a haircut because of the skill of the barbers and the vibe of the shop!
Nice clean and friendly place. Seems very busy.
Good guys that offer nice haircuts at a great price. Happy to have them nearby.
Mark and Greg do great work. Now with online appointments it's so easy no waiting just in get it cut a little socializing with the guys and out
Pat and his son Mark Rock this place! You are treated to old world barbering as it should be... Great conversation ,individual care and respect...and people I would truly consider as my friends! Must say those that carry a complaint,best go to a salon...perhaps your other needs can be met there. Love these guys! 5 Stars .Indeed!
Busy for a reason, these guys are poets with scissors!
Fantastic experience, bit a wait due to the 6 people ahead of me, but didn't feel too long (I came into the shop early afternoon on the saturday). Cut exactly how I wanted it, no spare to detail. To comment on the review given below submitted by Josh, I had the son cut my hair and he was exceptional. Would highly recommend if your looking for a relatively inexpensive cut ($17) and great service.
Really friendly with a nice set-up. Most importantly you get a quality cut! Highly recommend
Gave me my wedding haircut. Magnificent job.
Always a perfect haircut and great conversation and probably the most reasonable price in town. Both the guys take the time to do a great job and have a good conversation even when things are busy. No doubt 5 ⭐️
Best haircut in town. Would be still be going if I still had hair. Service is triple AAA. Only think that is negative is that wait time are longer then most are use too. Quality work requires more time.
Very great service. I've been going here for just under 2 years and wouldn't change barbers at all. Always give me exactly what I want and never an issue. Wait times are decently long as so many people love this small-town business. Would highly recommend this place.
Cuts are rushed for 17$. There are better cuts at better prices in the city. The last time I went, came in 25 minutes before closing and was turned down as there was "already one person waiting". Found a different place to go and would not recommend this place.
(Translated) Super efficient barbershop! Little wait and a great cut yesterday. Listen to exactly what you want! I highly recommend ! (Original) Barbershop super efficace ! Peu d’attente et très bonne coupe réalisée hier. Écoute précisément ce qu’on veut ! Je recommande fortement !
First visit here after reading all the reviews. I can say that they are accurate. Staff is friendly and professional and do a fantastic hair cut. Barber took the time to explain what he did you me at the end so I can tell them the next time what I want. Only $17 for a men's cut. Wait time is definitely worth it.
Got a great beard cut here, my wife kisses me again
We live 90mins away, and have been driving for years, for my husband to have his hair cut here. Always an excellent cut, excellent, kind service, lovely people.
Great Service! Old school barber shop
Great haircut, clean shop, friendly barbers, business carried over generations of family.
I've actually never been, personally, but a few friends have went, and they all have only great things to say! I actually called today, with a pretty ridiculous question, and not only did he answer it positively, but he also did it in a way that made me feel super comfortable, and respected. I will definitely be taking my hubby there, in the next few days! ☺ Thank you for being so brilliant!! ♥
Mark and Greg are both great. This has been my go to spot for years now.
Awesome. Great barbers
High quality haircuts, high quality chats, never disappointed in the results.
Excellent cut and great conversation every time.
You won't find a better barber in Kingston. Incredibly thorough haircuts with a quality discussion about the direction of your hairstyle. Super nice guys with reasonable prices. This will be my barber shop until I move far from Kingston.
Literally the best
I have been to Vecchio’s 3 times now to get my hair cut and beard trimmed. Amazing experience!! The two gentlemen that work there are amazing barbers!! They take there time and do an awesome job! Vecchio’s has that old school barber feel. Highly recommend going!
Stopped in to get a medium skin fade and a shave, didn't get greeted at all for starters. The wait was almost an hour with 2 barbers which is expected at most places. The gentleman I got asked what I wanted and when I told him a Medium Skin fade seemed he didn't know what that entailed. He cut it a bit high for my liking but still was a decent fade. The part that got me to rate so low was when I told him to leave the front and we will see how it looks after he cut the rest of it, of course he chopped away at it. I let it go until he tried to keep going. Upon asking him to stop cutting the front because it was getting to short he seemed affronted that I requested that. He then lifts the front between his fingers and asks "you think this is to short?" Yes I do, it's my hair, not yours and for 17 dollars with an almost hour wait and attitude my business will go somewhere else. Also didn't get a shave because the other guy went on lunch, not their fault but I'm glad I saved 35 bucks and will do it myself for that type of service.
Good haircut, fairly priced, cash only
Great barbers. Always friendly. Clean straight cuts and quick to boot.
Honestly the worst cut I have gotten in my life. I came here because of all the glowing reviews, but was very very disappointed. The younger man was the one who did the cut and he was done in perhaps 15 minutes, the quickest cut I have ever gotten. He cut my hair extremely sloppily and did not smoothen out the look after (all my hair was cut straight and looked very abnormal) and this all cost $17. Definitely never coming here again.
Great guys and excellent cuts
Best one
I've been a repeat customer since arriving in Kingston, best haircut I've ever had.
Always a great cut! Super cool guys and family owned. Always take their time and really care about providing great service.
Excellent cut, nice environment ????
Excellent! Had my beard in for it's first trim and shaping. Greg let me know what he was doing and why. I'm impressed and so is my wife. Thanks Greg. Thanks Vecchio's Barber Shop!
Great haircuts at a good price.
Fantastic guys, real Kingston hospitality. Top notch!
I've always been happy with my cuts from here!
