Reviews of Mario's Original Barbershop (Hairdressing)

Corey Arnemann

Walked in, didn't realize they were just about to close, and before I could even ask if they would cut my hair, a woman was waiving me in towards a seat. She had to go, but the owner stayed to cut my hair. I couldn't believe it. Even after closing time, I noticed how closely he was looking into my hair cut, to make sure everything was perfect. All I did was show him a picture of what I like, and he made it look better. Now I use a picture of the hair cut he gave me as my new standard. Awesome hair cut to perfection, at a decent price. Thank you, you guys are the best!

Kyle Coulombe

Been going since it opened. I really enjoy the atmosphere and good barbers/stylist on staff.

Colin Lancelot

This place is legit. Super reasonable price for a haircut that is detailed and done with excellence. I had some bad experiences at other barber shops, but this one I left extremely satisfied. I will be sure to recommend this place to my friends. I was so tired of going to places where they just did not seem to care about doing my hair well. Thanks Mario’s !

Tiegen Costa

I went in right at open for an appointment with Mike. This guy really gave me the best fade I've ever had, and took his time doing it so that the job was done right. The price for this man's haircut is an absolute steal, I think I might have found my barber for life here.

T Vezina

Went in for a simple buzzcut, she turned it into a awesome buzzcut. The woman was very welcoming and cute

Cryptomangler

The best barber hands down.

Brenden Mondoux

Been going for a year, Tanya always gives me the best cut, nothing but good things to say about this place

Daniel Giddings (DJGiddz)

Can't really rate it, since I can't try it. Their website has a gorgeous picture of barber chairs lined up - the actual place is a tiny hole in a strip mall with 2 chairs. Walked in the door - both barbers were busy with clients, and there were 6 guys waiting for haircuts already - so I just turned and walked out. Obviously understaffed. Maybe some people have all the time in the world (must be nice) - when I have two young kids & have to get my mother-in-law to watch them just to have a few minutes to myself, I don't have over an hour to sit & wait somewhere. Shame, since this place has good reviews - but I won't be trying to come back anytime soon.

Midnite Reveries

The only guys I trust to handle my hair in the city.

Andre Samson

Rob is an exceptional barber, service is exceptional and his hair cuts and beard trims are second to none!!!

Nacho

Excelent experience and haircut. The place is really nice, and you can tell the people there know what they are doing. Great haircut for a fair price

Darren Froese

Great place for a good quality haircut. Came in from out of town and Cody took good care of me. Will be back

Chris la rocca

Amazing staff friendly and relaxing environment. Great for being on a budget and even fabulous hair care products also for sale

Dark Horse

SHAVED HALF THE TOP OF MY HEAD! Visited this barbers thinking that it will be a pleasant experience, instead walked out of the shop with nothing I wanted! I wanted to keep my hair longer at the top as specified and equal on both sides however, I received a haircut that he wanted to give me not one I wanted. Telling me that he could cut my hair in 10 minutes! A great barber always takes his time in cutting hair however this guy wanted to get me in and straight out of the chair in ten minutes! I'm disgusted! He's shaved half the top of my head off saying the previous barber wasn't good. He gave me a comb over even though I didn't want that. Nothing even close to a skin fade, it all looked the same on both sides. I wouldn't recommend this guy to anyone else. Cost me $25 for nothing! I could've done a better job my self at home!

Jeremy Smith

Good cuts, first come, first served.

Jimmy Mac

doesn't matter who cuts your hair at this place, you're going to get a nice one and you're going to be happy when you leave!

Jonathan Ballot

I have been going here for a year and it's the real deal. You can get a great haircut at a great price. I also get my beard styled here which is the best. They're all excellent.

Harrison Linden

More like Mario's butcher shop. I've made the mistake of going here twice and had bad cuts from two different butchers. One insisted on doing a fade and it was awful and really uneven, while the other cut way more length then I asked and went way too high and tight on the sides. Despite specific instructions they do whatever they can to make sure you look ridiculous and make you question if you should just shave your head.

Adam Northey

Little disappointed with my hair after few week had haircut. Found hide hair behind ears. It was long hair few of them. I was not noticing as I wear my glasses until last night saw on mirror saw few long hairs over my ears. Since staffs doing good in past but missed my ear line area twice in my last 2 visit. Repeated same staff who cut my hair twice in 2 row. I went Mario's in past had no problems until last of my 2 visits are same one not good job on my ear line of hair missed.

Colin Paranich

I have been coming here for 6 years now and have always had a positive experience, and finally had to leave a review. Rob, Tonya and Frank have always been detail oriented, very friendly and always seem to remember you. Since this is not a shop that takes appointments (unless for COVID procedures), you may not always get the barber you are waiting for, but they work together to ensure you get what you came in for. I have been trying different types of cuts lately and have always felt comfortable giving them direction and the feedback is usually accompanied with an explanation to what they are doing, how to style and personal insight to my hair type. If you are looking for a new barber, I would strongly recommend Mario's Original.

Dan Korrey

Very friendly service, good prices, and damn I looked good when I walked out.

Ruben Sanderson

say "grant" to the blond she'll laugh, very well done classic cut

scott little

Always a good cut with attention to detail and no shortcuts taken

Félix Touikan

Great staff and great haircut + hot shave experience

Rob Kaiser

I like the quality of the haircuts, I like the price. The place could use some sprucing up, it's not a particularly nice space - but I go there for the haircuts, not the decore.

Adam P (AMP'd Lighting)

A comfortable place to get hairstyling from a quick trim, to a straight razor shave. The staff is always more than happy to see return clients no matter the time between visits!

Emily McKay

It was so close to close but the staff were amazing and took us in anyways. Totally amazing, attentive to detail. The gentleman by the wall rocks. Can't remember his name atm but he remembered my partner and it's been years!

MARTIN GURSKE

Best barbershop in Edmonton.

Manuel Camarena

The best place in all Edmonton. I tried 30 places non are as good as this one.

Larry Yang

Consistently satisfied with my hair cuts here. I’ve had the most experience with Frank, Rob and Drew; all of whom I can vouch for, particularly for close cuts.

Kris Friesen

Best haircut experience I've ever had. No haircuts, just artistry of the head, man!

Noah Brock

They always make me look fly.

Quantum Pilot

First time I get a hair cut here and I love it. Angela did a great job. I recommend the place. Price was fair, she is friendly but real. So go get a hair cut and ask for Angela.

Roger Thompson

Rob(owner) is the best barber I have ever had. The rest of the staff are friendly and skilled

Korey Cameron

Amazing hair cut was so nice and fast. I didn't get the name of the lady who did it but she did a killer job. Thank you who ever you are haha

William *Brad Steffensen

Always get a great cut. Never wait long. Friendly barbers.

Jonathan Bozanin

Great service! Great beard trim!

Corey Munroe

Great cuts, always attentive.

colin prather

Great cut!

Jeremy Wiebe

I just needed my hair out of my face, but these guys are amazing! I don't know the name of the guy who gave me my cut, but I'm going back to look for him next time for sure. Atmosphere is so legit, and I love the way this looks on my mug.

Jordy

Satricia rocks. The only lady i will trust with my beard. She gets it right every time

Deklyn Bane

Very reasonable price :) nice haircut. I will be returning again when the time comes

Alnoor Hasham

One of the best fade haircuts I have had in a long time. As a guy with really curly hair most barbers have a hard time managing a proper cut but Angela was amazing. Mario’s is a good clean barbershop and Angela and Tonya were great with the conversation too ;) Definitely going to be a regular there

BackyardCarBuilds

Been coming here every month or so for a few years. Never had a bad haircut. The barbers are professional and friendly. Definitely recommend trying it out if you're looking to change shops.

S C

First haircut I got here was awesome! Second one was terrible, hairdresser didn't understand the cut, which was very basic. As well as not understanding the haircut, they never asked for direction and I literally had to try and walk them through it. Even with that, they failed to follow basic instructions, such as asking to have the part buzzed in... I would return, but only if my hair is not even touched by that woman.

Darryl Huang

I go here regularly. Walk ins only. The wait is never long. They really pay attention to detail. Very affordable prices

Austin Bamber

Easy top 10 shops in the city

Allan Cabral de Sá

Tanya is awesome.

Moe Ghalayeni

Great staff. Affordable rates

Dwight Stifle

The service was very good and the barbers that I have dealt with are quite skilled at what they do.

Bart Skrzypczak

Great service. Friendly staff.

Jordan Schinold

Staff is friendly, wait times are short, not that expensive for what you get.

Jacob McKinley

Friendly atmosphere. Greatly skilled barbers and stylists. Proffessional. Clean and well maintained interior.

dat sameoldkid

Dont go to the guy that cuts hair at the far right wall, he did not listen to my request he gave me a hairstyle that he thought would be good and gave me a hitler comb over.

Geoffrey Driscoll

I've been going to Satricia for my hair for nearly eight years. She's now cutting hair at Mario's and I've been very happy with both her and the shop.

Jolly Od

I have been going to this shop for about a year. I have tried each person and hands down Satricia is the best. Satricia is an amazing barber. Not only did she give me exactly what I asked for but was the best haircut I have ever had. She also gave me one of the best straight razor shaves I have ever experienced. Hands down the best service I have received. Highly recommend Satricia as your next barber.

Jared Zamzow

Solid price, great service and attention to detail. Angela did a high fade for me and took the time to go touch up the back 2x to make sure I was happy with the fade. Very very customer focused, I appreciated that. And they're open Sundays, unlike most of their competition. Would definitely go back.

Matt Green

Been going for years. These guys are great.

Andrew Mooney

Great place! The staff and owner are awesome, one of the best places in the city for a haircut.

Carlson Siu

Just came home from a cut here at Mario's Original Barbershop. Amazing experience! Robyn paid very close attention to the details as she gave me a transformation into a new man! Robyn gave her utmost effort to give me the cut and style I asked for and it was such a pleasure. Every snip made with her scissors was a snip towards perfection. I felt like a king throughout the process. Then Robyn asked Frank to check the fade she did on my hair and touched it up a bit more to make it more perfect. This may sound a little vain but I look 10x hotter after the cut, no joke. I am incredibly satisfied and will be coming back in the near future! :)

SEO Engin

I got my hair cut here and Rob did a fantastic job. Attention to detail was on point and the job was not rushed. I will be coming back for sure and I recommend the service.

Hugo Leung

Been getting my hair cut here for two years.

Paula Griffith

My husband and son both get their hair done here. By appointment now, the long wait experienced in pre-pandemic times is a thing of the past. Everyone working there has such skill and personality, and it's not "just a trim" it's a whole look. The guys come out of those chairs polished, styled and shaved to perfection. You are treated like family and kept entertained by the lively banter. The fade game is fierce here! I loved watching the many gorgeous heads of finely styled hair leaving their doors while waiting for my son. I don't let my guys go anywhere else now. Call them. You will not be disappointed.

Nicholas Pybus

Been coming here for a few months now and this place is awesome. The staff are friendly and very professional and really know how to treat customers and give a great cut. I highly recommend going here on a regular basis. Special shout out to Frank for my phenomenal cut for my wedding.

adam romans

No communication whatsoever... the barber just did what he wanted and before i knew it he was done and too late... never again

Keegan Lower

These guys really care about what you look like. They go above and beyond to make sure that you leave looking your best.

Nikkita Raun

First of all, the cut is fresh 2 death. Thanks, Frank. Also very important, I was never questioned on why I, a person who is short and looks female would go for a men's cut at a barber shop. As someone who has been questioned this multiple times at different salons, having this weird and uncomfortable female narrative ("Oh so do you have a boyfriend? What's he like? ) that girl chit chat, and being put in the "Lady" box, this was incredibly refreshing. Great service, great price. From a nonbinary person, thank you so much. I'll be coming back soon when I need to trim up

byron68me

Fantastic experience. Tonya was amazing ????

Tyson LaRone

A lot of hairdressers miss the subtleties of cutting mens' hair because it's short or simple and you can clearly see the difference when they actually pay attention. That's why I love seeing Satricia for my hair and will continue to do so.

1990mscheffe

Excellent haircut for a reasonable price

madhan gupta

One of worst service ever, Please don't ever go there for hair cut ,debit terminal machine not working.Both the staff had a agruments coz the other who was doing my haircut came late for his shift, he started scraping my neck coz he is upset with other guy i think he must be working in construction job, he has no idea what he is doing, The guys hands was shivering while using the trimmer. I had so many cuts in my throat and behind while shaping the haircut. Worst decision I have ever made to go to this Salon.

Jess Craig

Great cut, awesome service! Mario's Original is a cut above! ;) Being going there for years and will continue to do so!

Jack Knall

The Barbers give great haircuts!

Clinton McCallum

Been here twice since I moved to Edmonton a couple months ago. I don't plan to go anywhere else. Really happy about the care they take to make sure you walk out happy. And the prices are great!

Leroy Fok

Love this shop. Frank always does me right.

Janelle Gergely

Best place in the city by far!

Lance Gibson

Great place for a fade!! Ask for Drew!!!

Frank Belcourt

I've been going there 3ys and the guys are wonderful

Jeff Mills

Great place for a haircut. And since you have to make an appointment because of Covid you can't go wrong with Tanya or Rob.

Joy Wright

Great personable service, pizza was yummy!

Mahesh V

Recommendation to the owner. Close at 3pm on Saturday as you can still allow customers to walk in and your staff can leave at 4. I walked in at 3:18pm and Tanya greets me with "we're closed at 4pm". I wouldnt want her at my business. She even asked me if I was Lebanese, yah I got olive skin but really, lol. No customer service. I even called her out on it and she argued. Wow my first time here and I won't be coming back, even though Robyn did a decent job on my hair. Thanks Robyn.

Bret Narn

Great shop, but really can't stand the chunky blonde. Rushes through cuts, rude to her coworkers, prone to throwing tantrums. She makes me very uncomfortable. If you walk in and see the great Blonde Whale, just come back another day. The rest of the staff is great.

David Houde

Best hair cut i have ever had !!!

Neil Gray

Good cuts, reasonable price, friendly staff, no complaints:)

Fff Hhh

Go frank go ✂️✌️✂️

tristan b

I didn't even go in. I called to ask if they were busy and the man who answered was so rude that I couldn't bring myself to actually go there

Cliff Dudley

You know it is a good place to get haircuts at but it is a little pricey for my phone getting haircuts done did a good job but just a little pricey for my personal reference

Arie Moldvan

Awesome barber. Was recommended by a friend after I moved here from out of province and I've come back everytime I need a cut.

Mike Hatch

Lived in Edmonton for two years, these guys are the best.

RJ W

Best haircut I've had in two years!!!!!! Robyn did an amazing job cutting my hair pays a lot of attention to detail. Highly recommended. I went in with a very bad haircut from somewhere else and walked out feeling impressed.

Zack L

After several AWFUL barber experience here in Edmonton, I finally stumbled upon Mario's. I was not disappointed. Some of the best cuts I have ever gotten have come from the hands of Satricia! She delivers great fades and is willing to work with you over the course of multiple cuts to get the style you want.

Patrick Hogan

One of the best hair cuts I have ever received, Rob knows what he is doing.

Andrew Bons

This is normally my go to shop all of the barbers who work here are awesome! That is until today when I got a brand new barber who must have just started. Literally received one of the worst haircuts I have had in a long time. Terrible fade and barely even touched the top like I had asked. And to top it off he cut me multiple times with the straight razor during cleanup portion at the end.Luckily my girlfriend managed to help me salvage it at home. This is still an awesome place to go but just make sure you request the barbers who know what they are doing. :)

Don Padget

Great service and advice. Various barbers to choose from.

Prince Irfan

13-Nov-2020 (5:59pm) Just a month back i have moved from toronto to Edmonton and one of my friend suggested me to this barber shop and to that particular Lebanese guy and i have been there and i have waited till that barber is done with 2 customers and when my turn came 2 more guys walked in and the babrber was trying to convince and pushing me to that lady which i dont want to cut my hair with and i just walked off with the disappointment infront of him and he saw me going but he didn't even bothered to stop me or ask me to wait...First and last Terrible experience with this barber and barber shop and i am posting this review right away standing outside of this barber shop...

Dave Larrett

Love going here. Great barbers, and always conversational!

FH FH

Frank is amazing at fades recommend everyone to him. Quick and accurate. Easy going atmosphere every barber has their own style which is awesome, they all do fantastic work. Highly recommended this barbershop, best in Edmonton by far.

Adam Carey

All the barbers that work here are great! Very affordable pricing and the wait times are quite reasonable, even on Saturday afternoons.

Kedge Stover

I believe my barber was Talya, and she was beyond amazing to talk to, as well as giving me one of the best haircuts I have had in years. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

joe capp

The female barber did not do what I asked for..at all. I wanted the top a bit longer, and a 60's style comb over. I also have a bit of a thinning spot on the crown, and I keep the bangs longer to provide coverage. I walked out with a bit more than a buzz cut. Very disappointed, took a month to grow it back. She was busy talking to me about her night life instead of paying attention to the cut I asked for.

Robin St. Martin

Exceptional service and price! These folks are outstanding at what they do!! You can tell cause its always busy. Never had a bad cut or experience here yet

Aj Jomha

Great shop with great staff. Love the place.

Isidro

Good cuts at a fair price.

WN y

Probably best to go somewhere else,I think most are beginners just out of school.

Andres S

Place was filthy, asked for a trim ended up looking like a zero marine cut.

Mr. G Dean

Love getting a cut here. Doesn't matter who does it, I feel like a new man each time I leave

peter

The most worst experience ever had there is a guy in that store sit beside the wall never listen to customer cut what ever he wants and piss at customer even cut my head bleeding I treat as revenge dont going there if u still wants the head！avoiding！

Thomas Mead

I am posting in reply to the owner, I have gone elsewhere as I prefer a hairstylist who when stated "I will be there at 11:45 for sure" doesn't leave me waiting half an hour. No explanation or even mention of the incident when I came in 3 days later helped make my decision.

Colin MacPhail

Great haircut. Shows real pride in cutting hair. Friendly conversation about the Oilers. Will definitely recommend and come back.

Tyler H

The cut itself by "Frank" was not bad, but I literally had to go back and explain to them my sideburns were left completely uneven, one of them a full half an inch longer than the other. Also, he did a "line up" on one side and not on the other side so they had to fix that too. Disappointed with the quality of my cut and that I had to go back.
