Sailor Bup's Barbershop

We could fill this out with our take on things that happen between our walls but instead, we will let our friends give you their opinion of what happens here.

"Sailor Bup's brings back an era when customer service was spelled with capital letters. It's a place to which you *want* to go, not a place to which you *have* to go." - Ken Clench

"It's your friendly neighbourhood barbershop." - Jordan Thomas

"When entering Sailor Bup‘s it is as if you have stepped back in time to an era when not only do you go to the barbar to get an amazing hair but also a place to hang out and be social, the staff is top notch and here hair cuts are always on point. I will continue to send all my friends." - Devin Roulston

"Sailor Bup's is the kind of place that I would consider hanging out at even if I'm nowhere near needing a haircut soon. The rapport between patrons and with the staff is always engaging, lively, and varied. The product provided is not JUST a damn good haircut, but also an engaging social experience." - Thomas Hansen

"Classy as eff." - Shane Brolly

"I really only have one complaint. You should have opened years ago. Love what you guys are doing." - Jason Steeves

" I'm the guy who makes the funny comments or the inappropriate comments, but for this I will get serious. Sailor Bups, it is a business like many others. You go for a purpose, be it a hair cut, a beard trim or treatment, or to buy one of the many products sold at this establishment. This isn't much different from going to Flip Burger for a bite to eat, you know what you want, you go, you order and you eat, you leave. Or like an auto shop when your car falters, they take the car, they diagnose the issue they charge you for things that you don't need and then when the work is done you leave. So its all about your purpose, you know what you need and you go somewhere to take care of it.

Here is what sets Sailor Bups apart from so many other businesses, when you go there based on what you need, the hair cut, the beard treatment whatever, you arrive and you get so much more. You get an environment filled with genuine people who are actually excited that you are there. Its not about get in and get out its about get in and dammit we hope to see you again soon. Its about new friendships and shared stories and shared experiences. Its about a brotherhood of men proud with the facial hair they sport, proud of the hair, confident in themselves and the family at Sailor Bups builds on the confidence of their clients.

Next time you go to a business for whatever purpose that is ask yourself what you felt when you walked in, ask yourself how you felt when you left, ask yourself how the staff made you feel. I'm confident that you will not feel much of anything, and it will not have impacted your day. You go to Sailor Bups and I am confident that you will leave smiling, you will leave feeling empowered and you will leave knowing that you will return and you will not do so alone. Sailor Bups is not only a place for men but a place for those who love their man. I could not think more highly of Sailor Bups or the people who go there." - Drew Donovan

"Favourite place in the city hands down. Restauranteurs and bar owners should all have to sit in the chair for a cut or beard treatment to get a lesson in how to treat a customer! Exactly what I hoped for in a barbershop! If I ever get back on the beer I'll be sure to bring one in for the staff to make up for the two I've turned down. Keep it unreal!" - Chris Clarke
