Our Team
Every great haircut that leaves our shops starts with these people right here. It’s that simple. These are our soldiers who sweat blood to keep Torontonian men handsome, without whom we’d still be an idea, and not a reality. Our barbers work hard for you, so take a minute or two to get to know them.
Deborah
Deborah is an incredible Barber/Stylist with a passion for precision cuts. Originally from Winnipeg, MB, she recently moved to Toronto to and is excited to bring her knowledge of hair techniques, straight razor shaves and a disarming personality to our clients. Rounding out her already impressive skills, she is also a Reiki practitioner and musician. Lots to talk about in her chair! Niagara Mon/Wed-Sat.
Tommy
A wonderful new addition to the Garrison’s team, Tommy grew up around barbers and stylists in the UK and found it was also his calling. After years of education and eventually managing his own chair, he recently immigrated to Canada to make Garrison’s home. Brilliant fades, natural tapers and a European style sensibility is rounded out by his professional charming manner. Find him at Niagara Tuesdays to Fridays.
Steve
Our newest team member, Steve has a passion for hair that he sees as a form of art. He expresses it through his fades, blends, and lines with love, attention to detail and professionalism. Originally from Vietnam, he enjoys biking around Toronto and working out when he isn’t up to quieter pursuits like reading and listening to music. Find him at Jarvis Mon/Thur-Sat and Niagara on Tue.
Pharoah
Pharoah is a salon trained stylist who has been cutting hair for over 13 years! He is a true artist and applies his exceptional attention to detail on anything from classic cuts to edgier, more personalized styles for both men and women. He may look serious but he is the warmest guy and avid Formula 1 fan. Find him at Jarvis Tuesday-Friday.
Stephanie
A new addition to the Garrison’s team, Stephanie has been giving great cuts, surfing tips, and first-class client service out of our new Jarvis location. She is a licensed stylist with 12+ years of experience. If you are looking for precise scissor work, texture/blend, or just a classic cut, Stephanie’s your barber.
Jay
Jay is a versatile barber that specializes in a variety of cuts and hair textures. His top cuts include the pompadour with a fade, crop, beard line up and straight razor shaves. Jay has trained and worked alongside some of the city’s best and also has international barbering experience. This Western Uni grad is a huge sports fan and sneaker head so you will have lots to talk about in his chair.
Richard
As an Aveda-trained barber/stylist, Rich has been a client favourite for his detail-oriented cuts and being open to fresh styles. Behind his wry smile and chilled demeanor are some serious mischief and dry wit. It’s great to have this talented, Barber/Stylist back at Garrison’s.
Patrick
Patrick, a personal trainer who discovered a love of barbering and became a licensed pro for over 10 years. Skilled with scissor and clipper work, no cut is outside of this veteran’s wheelhouse. Hobbies: health, sustainable living and beer!
Drew
A veteran at our shop, Drew’s not one to talk much, but he doesn’t have to — his impeccable fading and scissor work does all of it for him. Pick his brain about Nintendo games. You might learn a cheat code or two.
Josh
Josh honed his skills apprenticing at the renowned Truefitt & Hill barbershop on Bay Street, and he’s been cutting hair for almost a decade. Book a wet shave to experience his skills first hand. With straight razor skills like his, you’ll never want to do it yourself again.
Alex
Our Master Barber, Alex cut his teeth at a barbershop-meets-salon in Bradford, Ontario. He then came to Garrison’s not long after we opened in 2011, and he’s been our leader (and beer shotgunning champion) to this day.
