Sir Johnnies Barber Shop

The proprietor of the barbershop seems nice and is quite jovial, likes to spin a yarn. Haircut was solid.That being said, I came on here to write this review because I think that non-regulars deserve fair warning: there’s two prices listed for haircuts on the board. One price reads $17 for a short hair haircut and another states $22 for a long hair haircut. My hair wasn’t longer than 2-inches in length and I was dinged for having long hair. I certainly needed a trim, which is why I came to the barbershop, but 2-inches is not long hair during peacetime. The haircut only took about 10 minutes. Watched a bunch of regulars known by name with longer hair than mine get theirs done (for $17) before I hopped in the chair. It seems obvious to me that this two-tiered pricing system is a way to make non-regs pay more / charge arbitrarily. Talked to several other people and they have had the same or similar experience as mine.

Demetre is a great guy, good conversation, most if not all of his customers seem to be regularsI am always pleased with my hair and beardDemetre, his brother before him and their father before that have been cutting my hair for over 60 yearsDemetre is always offering a drink, chocolates, candies of some sort, especially at X-MasI will be a customer of Sir Johnnies until demetre retires

I have been going to Sir Johnnies (or his father's barber shop) for a hair cut for over 35 years. I played baseball with Demitri many years ago and it is always a pleasure to renew acquaintances and talk sports when I returned to Kingston on leave and when I finally relocated back home. Sir Johnnie's is a classic no frills barbershop where you can rely on enjoying good conversation and leaving well trimmed while at the same time supporting a long time Kingstonian small businessman...also a big supporter of the Military and in my opinion should be the go to barber of the CFB Kingston community.

First demanded cash, then said he doesn't do mohawks. When I asked him why not, he said if I'm gonna question him I can go someplace else. Rude, but respectful. Wouldn't give him my money

I do no recommend going here, the reason being I was asking for a certain style of cut ( fairly basic, fade on the sides and lengthy on top). This led to because I have some thinner hair, a little baldness going on up top, what he thought would be better and that being the main conversation piece.I will say the guy can certainly carry a conversation and is nice, but for the haircut I wouldn't mind paying more and going to a more professional haircut.

I ain't cuttin that hair

ZERO STARSI am sure he is a great barber and has a loyal following but customer service is severely lacking or at least it was in my experience . I was refused service upon walking in with my son ......which is fine and i totally understand ALOT of barbershops are not comfortable with cutting childrens hair but being polite and kind is still important and we were not shown an ounce of either . Shame on you sir johnnies .....kindness can reward your bitter heartPS- too bad im an amazing tipper ;) cheers

Just called on the phone nicely asking if there was availabilty was met with a very rude tone saying I never do appointments always walk-ins" and then he proceeded to say he "only cuts peoples hair that he knows in Kingston and since he didn't know me wouldn't cut my hair" also asked where I live save your hair and don't let this "exclusive hotshot" barber anywhere near it"

First the good:Super nice guy. Great conversation and even offered a drink after the cut. Genuine and sincere.Now the bad:WORST-HAIRCUT-EVER.I wish I could post a picture. Incredible choppy and FAR from straight. The place just had a whole Grandpa vibe to it so if you're looking for something sharp/modern it may not be the place for you. If you're looking for something more conventional then perhaps you'll have better luck than I did.Sorry to say but I will never return.

Dimitri is a downtown tradition. A classic old school barber who gets the job done. I went to see his Dad, his brother and now him great service and care!
