When it opened in the fall of 2012, Hastings Barber Shop brought an immediate and time-worn presence to the neighbourhood that made it feel like it had been on the block for years. The cozy shop at the corner of Queen and Hastings has a no-nonsense, laidback approach to men's grooming, so it makes sense that it's gained a loyal following and become a home base for a good deal of local dudes to call their own.
