Behind the number
What affects the price
Three things move the final price up or down from the starting rate. None of them are a surprise, your barber walks through them with you before the clippers come out.
- Length and thickness. Longer or thicker hair takes more time to cut, blend and finish, so a heavy head of hair sits at the higher end of the range.
- Detail and design. A simple clean-up is quick. A precise skin fade, sharp line-up or a custom design takes more skill and time, which is reflected in the price.
- Add-ons. Stacking services, say a haircut plus a beard trim, a hot-towel finish, or a straight-razor neckline, adds to the base cut. Each add-on is quoted up front so you always know the total.
Straight talk
Honest about pricing
These are Sam's Scissors Barbershop prices, not a Niagara-wide average. Other shops in St. Catharines, Thorold, Niagara Falls and Welland set their own rates, so use this as a real reference point, not a guarantee for every chair in the region.
Our starting prices are firm, and the final price is always confirmed in the chair before we begin. No hidden fees, no upsell pressure, just a fair number for a clean cut. As one customer put it, the price is totally fair for the quality.
"Hands down one of the best barbershops in the area. Sam's brother Almo did a fantastic job with minimal instruction needed. The price was also quite fair for the quality."
