Reviews of Ambleside Barbershop (Barber Shop)

Kaden Sayani

Been coming to Vadim for almost 10 years and refuse to go anywhere else. Customer service is a 10 and every time I go my haircut is better. I have tried many other places and this is the Best place to go in West Van by far.

I’ve come in maybe 4 to 5 times in the past and it’s been fine. Today, I learned that the person cutting my hair does not believe in vaccinations. She had a lengthy discussion with a customer about how they’re being “forced on them” and that she didn’t want one. Also broke the mask rule by allowing the client to take their mask off even though she verbally acknowledged that’s not allowed. I was disgusted by this behaviour and walked out, in no way was I going to support an ANTI-VAXXER. I will not be coming back. I felt extremely uncomfortable in there.

Great service! Nice Russian jokes. Recommend.

My son and I were in need of a new barber. I happened to run across Vladimir and we chatted. He just happens to be a barber and owns a shop. I called him today. He was off today and suggested we stop by and see his daughter. We did and Daniela cut my teenaged sons hair. He thoroughly loved the experience and is still going on about how great the shampoo was! The shop has a great vibe. Massive space. Very inviting and comfortable sitting area. As we were leaving, a woman was walking in with her teenaged son. I overheard her tell her kid he should get the same haircut my son did. Based on this first time experience, I would highly recommend Daniela. My son will definitely be back. As for me, let’s see how Vladimir rates the next time I need a haircut. ????

I have been going to Ambleside Barber for the past few months. Their store has a beautiful open concept interior with lots of natural light and good energy! Vadim is extremely friendly and he is really good at what he does! I highly recommend this barbershop and the services they offer.

Went with my boyfriend and his cousin to get haircuts on a lovely sunny afternoon. Walked in at 3pm and was confronted by the barber who got right up in the face of my boyfriend. When we asked for haircuts he said no and that he was tired and didn't feel like it. The shop was empty and they close at 5. My boyfriend then turned and told his cousin that it was not possible in farsi because he doesn't speak english and the barber got aggressive demanding we translate what was said. Overall a very unsettling and rude visit. No haircuts were received, do not go here.

Uncle Vadim totally looked after me. Went in with quite long hair and asked for a short trim (didn't really know what I wanted). Uncle Vadim took his time and basically gave me multiple haircuts until we found the perfect one. Honestly never had a better experience at a barber shop in my entire life. I'll be coming back for sure but most likely won't wait until my hair is so long to revisit ???? Thanks for the awesome service!!!

You know Who I am

Good guy. Sure loves his soccer boy. Former edmontonion like myself. Did a satisfactory job on my hair

Marcela Giuffre

Daniella delivers superb service and my son only trusts her skills to cut his hair. She knows her trade well. Highly recommend!

Ryan Buchanan

Newer to the area and I was lucky enough to come across this place. Highly recommend coming here for the professionalism, skill, and also the personality their shop and selves have to offer. It's always nice to see a shop with history and people who care. This is not JUST another place to just get your hair cut. I couldn't recommend it enough!

Paul K

Had one of the best cuts of my life here, and had a beard shave to boot .Great service and even better haircut, I'll be back again to get my cuts here from now on.

Doughbird O

This is such a sweet family run barber shop. Nice location with an easy going vibe. Daniella is such a kind and skilled hair stylist. She's super passionate about what she does and always takes to make me look capital F to the I, N, E. If I ever become rich and famous she's gonna be my hair stylist. Even though I'm not rich and famous, I'm happy to say she does my hair already!

Aly Mamdani

Great place. Vadim has been cutting my hair for 8 years and I’ve never had a bad haircut.

Jace

Both Vadim and Daniella cut amazing hair. You can really tell by their cuts that they have years of experience and efficiency behind them.

Rob K

Excellent shop. Father and daughter team, both are nice to visit with and offer meticulous cuts. The shop is spotless with comfortable casual decor. Give them a try.

Amy McCarthy

Not for families: be forewarned that the barber does not welcome children and will not offer to pause or change inappropriate content on the big screen TV.

Howard Liu

was charged $8 more for 1. $5 too much hair 2. $3 operational cost, the male barber also mentioned some extra cost for debit card (as opposed to cash). When I ask for clarification he started to get impatient, refusing to answer and threw me out, saying he is 'annoyed'. Don't come to this store if you don't want to be charged extra.

Katarina Kent

The young woman who cut mine and my husband's hair, did an incredible job! She was very kind, and you could see how much she enjoys her career; very passionate and caring. Both her and her coworker/employer were very kind, and welcoming people! 10/10 would recommend!

Naif Yilmaz

I am very new in Vancouver, as everybody knows finding a new barber who understand what you want is really hard. I just googled the closest barber shop and l went. It was here. There was only a Ukrainian barber. I really loved him. He did his job super fast and perfectly. I am not going to find another one. You have to take cash with yourself and l think it was a bit more expensive than previous barber shop l been to but it worths.

Hossein Meimani

I walked into this place and asked if I could trim my beard. The person working there goes “yes, give me 10 minutes.” I go grab a cup of coffee and come back in 10 minutes. He goes “you can’t sit on the couch and drink your coffee!" I waited another 10 minutes for him to finish up with his customer. Then he goes "I can’t trim your beard." This gentleman - thick Eastern European accent - is either mentally slow or has a very twisted and mean sense of humour unsuitable for someone who wants to work in customer service. There are barbers on the same block with much better manners.

Lua MacDougall

Amazing haircut for a great price! He was very nice to talk to and it was super fast!

Destry Straight

Great people, great haircuts.

Marcus Overholt

I've been going here for roughly 10 years and I've always had a great experience.

Mehrad AK

Me and my brother have switched to this place since 2017 with 0 regrets! Daniela is a highly skilled and fassionable barber. She is super detail oriented and always takes time and effort to perfect your hair! Even when pressed for time, she doesn't cut any corners! Highly recommend! Thank you daniela!

tyson armstrong

Vadim is the man. Always in a great mood and gives great cuts.

Sean Tammen

I’ve been coming to Vadim for the past 10 years and I always leave with an excellent cut. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get my hair cut.

Chad Carlsen

This barber shop is more than a pleasant experience. Owned by a positive man named Vadim who has been cutting hair for years. His daughter Daniela also works alongside him and is very talented! Prices are very reasonable as well! A wide range of people come into this barber from young children to seniors. You can get any style of haircut here...if you want just a quick barber style cut then this is the place...but if you prefer more something that would usually be done at a high end salon then this place is also great for that...Vadim and Daniela are great at getting what you want in a cut. Go get your hair cut here!

Daniala is a very talented young lady. She is a very capable hair stylist and the place is very nice

Been going to this places for the past few haircuts and they have always been very good. The barber, Vadim, knows what you want and will get it done.

Ricardo Ignacio Catena

Love my haircut! Daniela always does a great job, she takes her time to make it perfect! Very welcoming atmosphere!

Insert Name Here

Got a haircut here a while ago. I forgot the barber's name, but he had a foreign accent and was working in the morning. The shop looks beautiful and the barber was very nice to me. Unfortunately the haircut I got was pretty uneven. The left side was shorter than the right and was sticking out. I think he noticed, and he apologized. I don't really mind though since it's just hair and it will grow back. I'm sure it was just an off-day for him and I don't blame him at all. The prices are a bit high, but it's understandable for the location. This place is worth checking out at least once.

Chris Christensen

Been getting my hair cut here for years. Both Vad and Daniela do a great job.

Evan Leeson

Great quality haircuts. Such a friendly fun staff that has been taking care of me for almost 19 years!

Bart Brooks

I’m 84 and had become accustomed to going for a haircut simply because I needed one. Today I wound up at Ambleside Barbershop. The quality of the haircut stunned me as it was the best I’ve ever had. I’ll no longer wait till I have forest up there. Instead I’m going back to Ambleside and ask for Vladimir. Especially when I want to look good. Bart Brooks

Romel Ramani

I have been getting my hair done by Daniela here for the past 5 years and have always received exceptional service from her. Daniela is not just a barber, she knows exactly what style I go for, and pays close attention to detail. She will go the extra mile to make sure you leave satisfied. With years of experience in both men and women's hair, she will always give her honest opinion on style suggestions for you. So if it's your first time there, then you're in good hands! I highly recommend Daniela to anyone looking to refresh their hairstyle.

Mark Fletcher

Great customer service short waits and awesome hair cuts!!

Matt Farmer

They only do walk-ins. Haircut was really high quality. Friendly staff. 5 star experience.

David Fether

I went in for a haircut about a month ago, not sure what he did but where I part my hair and on the back there's tons of short hairs that stick out. Never had this issue before. Not only this the guy that cut my hair had a bad attitude and the job felt rushed Would not recommend

Mike Dunn

Awesome place! Very professional service delivered consistently. Would recommed for sure!

Ed Tsumura

Been coming here for years! Great cuts every time.

Cameron McLeod

Finding a new barber when you move always sucks. So it was a pleasant surprise when I went to Ambleside Barber! Daniela did an amazing job. Very clean and professional, affordable and prompt! Will be coming back for my future haircuts! The search for a new barber is over.
