Best Barbers near me in Sandwick, Courtenay

Krista has been cutting my hair for the past year and I adore her work and the calm comfortable environment of Common Place, so whe our AuDHD teenager, who struggles with sensory challenges during haircuts, expressed that he wanted a new haircut, I booked him to see Krista. Not surprising, Krista was so considerate and careful while cutting his hair. She made sure to front load when she was using different tools and techniques and checked in with him to make sure he was comfortable. He left feeling great and actually loving his hairtcut for the very first time. Thank you, Krista!

Paula was very helpful, offering advice as she cut my hair and asking relevant questions that I hadn't thought of. She is great and she listens; I am happy with my haircut.

I am very happy with my haircut. Paula is great! She asks questions about how I would like my hair and has really good suggestions. The salon is very clean and comfortable with parking conveniently located just behind the shop.

I’ve been seeing Paula for several months now and she is a fabulous stylist! I am loving my haircut and I can tell it’s cut well because it even grows out well. I’d highly recommend seeing Paula!

I screwed up my booking and came all the way from Denman Island to find I didn't have an appointment, but Paula generously squeezed me in for a bang trim (no charge). She is the best!! Even in a time crunch she is absolutely meticulous.
