Sandy’s - Oakville’s traditional BarberShop
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008
The best place to get your hair cut, for men, in Oakville is at Sandy’s. Bar none. It is so traditional that Sandy still uses a straight blade to shave your beard or to get hairs at the back of your head. He even sharpens the blade on a piece of leather attached to the barber chair. Sandy’s is a single Italian Canadian man operation. If you stop by and someone is in the chair and people are sitting, reading a playboy and waiting, then you might face a bit of a wait. He is least busy during the week, especially Monday as the shop is closed.
I popped by the shop yesterday, but it was surprisingly closed. Upon further inspection there was a sign on the door that said the barbershop would be closed for the next five weeks. What had happened was Sandy took a spill and broke his right arm. The doctor advised him to stay home and said it would take about 5 weeks to heal. So you’ll have to hold off and grow it a little long before seeing him.
For people who have never been to Sandy’s; he is located downtown Oakville on the corner of Trafalgar and Robinson St next door to the TD bank. You can see his sign out front from Robinson St.
