Tim and his brother are top notch people and excellent at their craft. Tim has been cutting my hair for a year now and no plans on going anywhere else as long as they are here. He is a perfectionist and takes pride in ensuring you leave 100% satisfied. Love this place.

I had a great experience here. The barber understood my hair quickly. I got a mid fade on the sides and drop fade in the back. Really chill atmosphere in the shop and i love my cut.

Timmy & Vinny are good people. Doesn’t matter which brother cuts your hair...they do a great job! They both are very personable and the conversations are added bonus...being a barber is not just about cutting hair...you have to be able to carry a conversation and both Timmy & Vinny do that...The shop has that Old Skool feel!

When it comes to barbershops, first you find your favorite spot, then you find the best guy in the shop. But between Tim and Vinny I can't pick, they're both awesome. Each haircut they have given me was consistent, they pay attention to detail, and they make sure they take only the time they need - I'm able to squeeze in haircuts in between meetings no problem. The shop is also super clean. I highly recommend Gentmode.

Tim was extremely kind and accommodating. He was patient when I wasn’t sure about my exact style of haircut and took his time. He made sure I was satisfied with my haircut while being super fast and efficient. Best haircut I’ve had in years.

The best barbershop by far is Gentmode, I get my haircuts here regularly from Vinny and Timmy, and every visit is a fantastic experience. They not only meet my expectations, but they always surpass them consistently. On top of their quality work their hospitality is extraordinary. Without a doubt do not hesitate to make your way here if you are looking for a haircut.

I'm fortunate that the Gentmode barbershop is in my neighbourhood - walking distance from my house. The location is the reason I first tried this excellent barbershop. I keep going back because I'm happy with the work but also because I don't have a lot of time. I've spent too much time sitting in other shops waiting for a barber to become available. Gentmode is two brothers both of whom do professional work without a lot of fanfare. That means you are in and out of the chair quickly, sporting a professional haircut. I am able to stroll in (no appointment) and get a haircut on my lunch hour. And still have time to hit the deli on my way back to work. The prices are competitive, the work is professional and the time savings invaluable. I give the two brothers five stars.
