::My first experience at Uomo Barber was impressive. My barber was Tracy she was very professional and her suggestion of my hair has been exceptional as I have had compliments.

::Uomo is not just a place to get an amazing haircut, it truly is an experience going there. From the top-notch staff, who are truly Masters of their craft, to the wonderful and relaxing atmosphere of their modern-chic locale, it is no doubt in my mind the première place for any man's grooming needs in Victoria. I find going there to be a journey for the senses. It starts off with the warm greeting as I enter the door, like a friend they haven't seen in a long while. Next the smell and offer of fine Italian coffee tempts me to indulge just a little. Then getting the front row seat to watch a Master artisan's skill transform my appearance in front of my eyes, is something I am always impressed by. And finally the icy warm tingling on the back of my neck from the aftershave cream they use, tops off the journey. Even after I leave I notice the looks towards my head that I get and I find a heightened sense of self-confidence lasting for days afterwards. I never had a place where I would go loyally to get my haircut, I would just go to wherever was most convenient and so I have gone to my fair share of barbers, salons and hairdressers and in all that time Uomo is the only place that I feel has actually earned my loyalty and now it has it. I have found that the saying you get what you pay for is so true in this world and especially when it comes to haircuts. At Uomo though I really feel you get back way more in value than what it costs in money. I have had my hair cut for $11.95 at First Choice and I was fine with it at the time never knowing what could be. Now that I have experienced Uomo I feel like that $11.95 was wasted because I could have put that towards investing in myself rather than saying to myself 'well at least my hair is shorter'. You don't have to take my word for this at all, go and see for yourself. If you take pride or even want to take pride in your appearance, you really owe it to yourself to go to Uomo and to experience all this first hand.

::Went in for a haircut and beard trim. Haircut was ok, beard trim was bad. I said not to remove any length but just to clean it up and start the shape as I'm still growing it out. Brian didn't seem to listen and went ahead and took length off, then my cheek lines were uneven and the bottom of my beard was on a total slant. How did he not see that everything was uneven? Also, I said that I'm trying to lower my neck line and not to shave any of my neck line off...When I got home and discovered that my cheek lines and bottom of beard were totally uneven (had to fix everything myself) I noticed while fixing everything, that he ALSO shaved my neckline down.... Just ridiculous. Now I don't know if he was having a bad day or perhaps had other things on his mind, but my beard sure wasn't. He also kept smashing into my adams apple with his comb and clippers. My neck was extremely irritated and had bumps all over for a couple days and my throat was sore from him hitting my adams apple over and over again. By the time I left, my back was sweating because of how much discomfort I was in during my sit. I told him I was happy (what's the point of saying I wasn't, it's not like he can put the hair back, may as well avoid an awkward situation) All that for $60!!! And on top of that, I kept reading reviews about how they bring you coffee while waiting and so on, well not only was my appointment late ( I was there 10 minutes early, he was 10 minutes late), but I never received any coffee. Hands down the most expensive terrible barber experience I've ever had. Will NOT be returning. I feel like the majority of the reviews are from people who haven't tried too many different barbers. I usually go to an old school barber shop in the West Shore, the prices are 1/3 of Uomo and I've never had ANY problems with my beard trims from them because they ACTUALLY listen to me when I say "don't remove any length" or "don't touch my neck". If you want to try Uomo, perhaps make sure you get in with the "master barber" Steve. He might do a better job, but go at your own risk...it might just be a painful waste of money.

::What a pleasure to be review number 100! I’ve been going to Uomo barber now for roughly 10 months. Before discovering these guys I had tried nearly all the hip barber shops around town . Every time I was always left feeling irritated, not listened too or simply just ‘ butchered ‘. Finally I somehow landed at uomo and I haven’t looked back since. Stevens a great guy. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. Most men that keep a groomed beard like myself will tell you after awhile they become quite obsessed with perfection. At uomo you will find exactly that! It’s worth every penny! You’re attention to detail does not go unnoticed! Keep up the good work!! Grazie!

::Saw that this place had good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. NO REGRETS! The stylist gave me what I think is the best side fade I've ever gotten. These guys are professionals who know what they're doing. The price for a haircut is slightly higher than some other places but the premium price for a premium experience and haircut is definitely worth it.
