  • This barber shop is superb! I’ve been to nearly every barber shop in town. Some are good. Some are not. This place is my absolute favourite. They do a fantastic job for a reasonable price.

  • The Edge Barber Shop is hands down the best barber shop in the Nanaimo area. The shop has this incredibly cool and comfortable vibe, but what really sets this place apart is Ryan himself and his crew.
