Built around the student schedule
Our Albert St shop sits in the University District, a short walk from both the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier, and minutes from Uptown. If you live along Albert, Hazel or Lester, we are one of the closest chairs to your door.
We keep late hours on purpose. Class blocks, midterms and shift work do not respect a 7:30 close, so Friday and Saturday we run until 11:00 PM — useful before a night out, a formal, or a Monday-morning interview. Book online and pick your barber by name so you get the same hands and the same result every visit.

The menu
Pick the cut first
Knowing the guard number before you sit down saves five minutes of guessing. Show your barber the name, or just the number.
0–2Guard
Skin fade
Bare at the neckline, blended up into length on top. The cleanest option and the one that photographs best. Grows out fastest — plan on three weeks.
2–4Guard
Mid taper fade
Softer contrast, starting higher on the head. Holds its shape longer than a skin fade, which makes it the practical pick if you want one cut to last.
3–4Guard
Crew cut
Short and even all over, a little longer at the front. Nothing to style in the morning. The lowest-maintenance cut we do.
ScissorOn top
Textured crop
Fringe left forward, texture cut through the top, tapered sides. Works with thick or curly hair instead of fighting it.
Waterloo — frequently asked
Where is Othman's Barbershop located in Waterloo?
Othman's Waterloo is at 288 Albert St, Unit 108, Waterloo, ON N2L 0G9 — in the University District, a short walk from both the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier campuses, and minutes from Uptown Waterloo. It is one of the closest barbershops to student housing along Albert, Hazel and Lester.
Is Othman's a good barbershop for university students?
Yes. The Waterloo shop is built around the student schedule and the styles students actually ask for: mid and low taper fades, textured crops, burst fades, curly-hair shaping, line-ups and beard work. Our barbers cut every hair type and texture, and we are used to working around class blocks, midterms and late-night study sessions.
Is Othman's Barbershop Waterloo open late?
Yes. We are open until 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which makes us the most accessible late-night barbershop in Waterloo. Ideal if you need a fresh cut before a night out, a formal, or an early-morning interview.
Do you take walk-ins at the Waterloo location?
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome whenever a chair is free. During the first weeks of each term and on Friday and Saturday evenings the shop fills up, so booking online is the safer bet if you are on a schedule.
What haircuts are most popular at Othman's Waterloo?
The most requested cuts are the mid taper fade, low taper fade, textured fringe or crop, burst fade, and edge-up with a beard trim. If you are not sure what suits you, bring a photo or ask your barber for a recommendation based on your hair texture and face shape — consultations are free and part of every appointment.
Can I book a specific barber in Waterloo?
Yes. When you book online you can select your preferred barber by name, so you get the same hands and the same result every visit.
Does Othman's Waterloo offer student pricing?
Yes. We run a full student menu with a valid student ID, including University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier and Conestoga students. Bring your card or have it on your phone.

A standard haircut is $35 and takes 30 minutes. Popular add-ons are a haircut and beard trim for $53, a haircut with hot towel shave for $58, and a hair line-up for $12. Zero fades are $38 and skin fades are $40. Our Full Package Men's Grooming is $110 for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Debit, all major credit cards, and cash. There is an on-site Othman's-managed ATM with no withdrawal fees, so you can grab cash for your cut or your barber's tip without paying a service charge.
