Don't just take our word for it — hear from Ottawa's best-dressed heads

Every barber delivers. Every time.

They do one of the best fades in Ottawa. The great thing about the shop is that they all seem to be able to cut a good head. The other places around town you have to sit and wait for hours for the one guy that won't butcher you. Here I have had a couple of different guys, and it always comes out good.

I've been coming to FADES for 3 years now. Consistently the best fade in Ottawa. I've had multiple barbers and every single one knows what they're doing. No more waiting 2 hours for one specific guy. Highly recommend!

Clean shop, professional barbers, and they take their time to get it right. My fade always looks crisp and lasts longer than cuts I've gotten elsewhere. Worth every penny.

I'm picky about my hairline and these guys nail it every time. Sharp lines, clean fade, professional service. This is my spot.

Took my son for his first real haircut. The barber was patient, professional, and did an amazing job. My kid actually sat still! We'll be regulars now.

I've tried every barbershop in the west end. FADES is the only place where I know I'll get exactly what I want. The barbers listen and execute perfectly.

Clean environment, skilled barbers, fair prices. What more do you need? Been coming here for over a year and never had a bad cut.

The attention to detail is what sets them apart. My fade is always blended perfectly with no harsh lines. Professional work every time.

Finally found a barbershop where I don't have to explain what I want every time. They remember my style and deliver consistently. This is the place.

Great atmosphere, great barbers. I always leave looking fresh. The fact that any barber can handle my fade is huge - no more wasted weekends waiting around.

Moved to the area and tried FADES on Bank Street. Best decision. Same quality as I've heard about - these guys are pros.

Beard trim and fade combo is my regular. They know how to shape a beard to match the cut. Top notch.

No frills, just great cuts. Walk in, get a quality fade, leave happy. That's what I need and that's what I get.
