Othman’s BarberShop Waterloo

Recently got my Zero Fade Haircut done by Ibrahim. I’ve been here a couple times before and I can say for convenience and professionalism, they do it proper. No issues at all and Ibrahim knew exactly what I was looking for. The straight razor clean up on the sides and back was also a nice touch. If you’re around this area, I’d definitely give this place a try!

By far one of the best places I have gotten a haircut. Ibrahim is a great barber, as he is very friendly, always pays attention to detail and makes sure that people are satisfied with their hair.

Booked a beard trim. My beard was 3-4” long and need to be cleaned up. I booked with the owner based on the google reviews.When I arrived, there were three employees. Two went for a smoke and I confirmed with the remaining gentleman that he was cutting my beard as I can’t stand the smell of cigarettes. When the two guys came in Mahmoud asked one of them to get me into a chair and put a gown on. His hands smelled revolting as he worked around my neck. I explained I didn’t like the smell of cigarettes' and I asked him to wash his hands. He smiled, nodded, and continued what he was doing. I plugged my nose and waited for him to finish.Mahmoud confirmed I was there for a beard trim but didn’t ask what I was looking for. I said I wanted the sides shortened and the front trimmed. It didn’t seem like he was listening. He laid me back in the chair and when I sat up I was left with a ¼” beard. Not at all what I was looking for, I simply wanted a trim and to blend the sides.When I got home I noticed longer hairs and had to do some additional trimming to clean it up.Now I must wait months for my beard to grow back. Based on my experience I would recommend against going in for a beard trim with Mahmoud. I will not return.

First time in this shop. Guy didn't seem happy to see me show up for my appointment and that attitude continued for the entire time I was there. He assumed I want a contour line and when I told him at the end I wanted a fade he made an attempt to save it, but it was not the same. During the haircut he kept talking to his buddy in a foreign language (buddy kept pacing throughout the shop talking on the phone in the same language). Very unprofessional. Also they have no concept of hygiene. A very sad vibe in general.Needless to say I won't be back.

Friendly staff and excellent service. This was the first time to get a beard trim a was really happy with the results! Just told him to make it look good which he did! The precision of the the beard, well, there was no way you coukd do that at home lol. I will be going back!

I recently visited and was impressed with the quality of service and attention to detail. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff and made to feel comfortable. The shop itself is clean, well-maintained.The barber who cut my hair was highly skilled and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. He provided helpful suggestions and offered his expertise to ensure that I left with a style that I was completely satisfied with. I was impressed by his precision and attention to detail, and it was clear that he took pride in his work.The staff were friendly, courteous, and took the time to ensure that I was happy with the service I received. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Amazing service, I'm a 1st time customer from out of town will make the drive back for my next haircut and beard!

Ask for Ibrahim. No other barber has done this good of a job on my hair & his service was exceptional.I have a nervous tick when a trimmer is buzzing around my ears/neck & Ibrahim was very accommodating. So much so, the tick didn't even show up during the cut.Also, he actually listened when I explained what I wanted - even stopped a few times to give suggestions & make sure I was okay with them before making a change. Once the cut was done & styled, it was hands down the best haircut I've ever had.I will be back.
