Our
Story
Built on careful work, familiar faces, and the belief that a barbershop should feel like part of its neighbourhood.
Our Home on Abell Street
Our shop sits at 68 Abell Street, across from the Drake Hotel. It is a small, welcoming space shaped by the people who work here and the clients who keep coming back.
Craft, Carried Forward
Barbering has always been about more than the finished cut. We carry the tradition forward through thoughtful consultation, modern precision, and the kind of attention to detail that earns trust one appointment at a time.
A Neighbourhood Shop
Most of our regulars come from the streets around Queen West, Liberty Village, Little Portugal, and Ossington. Some walk over after work; others take the Queen streetcar from farther west. However they arrive, we want the shop to feel familiar, relaxed, and worth returning to.

Our

Every street we serve has a story. Barberhood opened in 2018 to be a small but lasting part of Toronto's barbering tradition.

The Streets
We Serve
Toronto's barbering tradition stretches back to 1802. The brick-and-beam factories of Liberty Village were built in the 1860s. Barberhood opened in 2018 to be a small but lasting part of that story, on streets that have seen Toronto change a dozen times.

Who are the barbers at Barberhood Toronto?
Our Liberty Village team is Brigen, Mike, Ismael, Peter (Pierre), and Mary. Peter is our founder with 12+ years of experience and a master of straight razor work. Brigen, Mike, and Ismael are senior barbers specializing in fades, skin fades, beard work, and contemporary cuts. Mary specializes in braiding and protective styles. Call to book her chair.
Is Barberhood near Queen West and Trinity Bellwoods?
Yes. From 68 Abell St in Liberty Village, Queen West is a 6 to 8 minute walk north, and Trinity Bellwoods is a 10 to 12 minute walk east through the Liberty Village corridor. Many of our regulars come from Trinity Bellwoods, Ossington, Queen West, King West, and Little Portugal. Parkdale and Roncesvalles are a short streetcar ride west.
What's the difference between a fade and a skin fade?
A skin fade blends the hair all the way down to the scalp using a straight razor for the cleanest, sharpest contrast. A standard fade leaves some hair at the shortest point. Our barbers do both, and every skin fade at Barberhood is finished with straight razor detailing on the perimeter. For the full breakdown, read our Fade vs Taper guide.
Where can I park near Barberhood Liberty Village?
There is metered street parking on Abell St and nearby Lisgar St, plus paid Green P lots on King St W and Strachan Ave. Liberty Village is also a short walk from the 501 King streetcar, the 511 Bathurst streetcar, and about 12 minutes from Exhibition GO Station. The Drake Hotel and Rectory Café are around the corner if you want to grab coffee before your cut.
