With 48% of Toronto's population being of the male gender, it's not surprising that the city has a number of barber shops filled with well-trained and talented barbers. What qualifies these classic mens' hubs to fall under the category of being the best? The combined years of experience their barbers hold and their ability to make a man feel at home in their well designed experience. Our top picks for Toronto's barbershops range from old school, no-frills, cut-and-shaves, to all-inclusive shops which master the task of keeping your skin fresh, your back loose and your shoes shined. Whether you want a truly classic experience, a modern shop, or a mix of the two, we've got you covered. Blood and Bandages This 5 year-old mini-shop is right at College and Dovercourt. Blood and Bandages is known for its long but well worth it waits on a busy day. Lacking an official Facebook page or Twitter account this exclusive shop is the kind of place caters to locals and those in the know. You truly need to go in to in order to experience it. Side piece: With vintage art everywhere and taxidermy on the walls, be prepared to feel as thought someone is watching you while you get your hair cut -- they are. Crow's Nest A Kensington Market stand-by, Crow's Nest is often rammed, and for this reason, they take online bookings. They are one of the few shops that are open Monday through Sunday for all your cut/shave emergencies.
