High class haircut. Was tired of getting the same old cut from the barbers and decided to go here. Not only was the atmosphere next level, the haircut/shave experience was next level. Just gained a long time customer and I’ll be making sure to tell all my friends where the best place in town is for a cut.

Hanif is building a community through positive connections. Tonsor is a unique place because Hanif himself is unique thus your experience is unlike any other barber. Youll leave looking better, mentally stimulated, and part of a community.

My friends recommended Hanif to me for a cut. The attention to detail and commitment to craft is impeccable. I feel like he goes out of his way to make sure its perfect and exactly what you want. The space is beautiful and its a great barbershop experience. I appreciate the conversation and willing debate on an incredibly wide range of topics. Cheer!

Hanif is the best! I used to only go to him for my haircuts. Hadn’t gotten a real haircut in a long time and I found him at Tonsor and he gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had! The environment in Tonsor is awesome. Very friendly and kind workers, friendly and welcoming. I showed up for my appointment and they sat me down on a comfy couch and offered me a cool beverage while I waited. Will definitely be going there regularly for my haircuts from now on. Great place, awesome barber chairs, 100% recommend to anyone looking to support a great business that gives amazing service!

Best haircut experience Ive ever had all around. From cut to conversation Ive never felt more comfortable in a barber chair. I was a walk-in and I had no idea what I wanted but Piankhi was incredibly helpful and hooked it UP! These artists know their stuff. Great pricing too. If youre looking to upgrade your style, just go see these guys.

The drive from Portland was well worth the barbershop experience, quality of cut, great conversation and welcoming environment! The next day, I received many unprompted compliments on the fade. I would highly recommend Piankhi and Tonsor to anyone looking for the most thorough haircut Ive ever received!

PIANKHI, this man is such a talented barber. He done both of my little boys 2 & 5. Im so happy to have found a good barber who could work with all hair textures and finesse my boys wild curls and keep them calm enough to do fades and use a razor. Thank you so much for doing such a great job and being so welcoming!

Ive been going to Tonsor for the past 18 months and get a great cut and great conversation every time. Hanif is a master with the scissor and razor. His shop is bright, clean and exudes quality throughout.

Have been going to Tonsor for a long time and have always loved the service! Recently brought a close friend in to get a cut and a shave before his wedding. Hanif did a great job, especially given that my friend is balding and a bit self conscious about it haha. His now wife was very pleased with the results! Always want to recommend Tonsor, very professional and great conversations!

Made my man get a haircut tonight, he was looking rough. Damn near almost regretted it. With how much time, precision, and quality they gave him made me jealous. I have to learn how to cut hair before he leaves me for that barber.

The owner has been there every time Ive been in and is actually great at getting everyone in the place to engage in a genuinely great conversation every time! Yet at the same time I didnt even know that he owned the place until someone else told me so! Great customer service all around! Extremely detailed with the haircuts and always leave you feeling like they actually care about how you feel about it!

Review №15

Gave Hanif a somewhat vague description of what kind of cut I wanted, and what I received was not only the exact description to clarify what I wanted but the perfect execution done with amazing skill and enjoyable conversation. Also: this guy knows how to cut Asian hair better than most Asian barbers Ive gone to.

Pros:Great experience, 5stars for their professionalism and mastery! The team down here are really good at cutting hair, Sikia cut mine and I recommend him 100%.Cons:The cost $$$$ for a haircut/beard trim is high.

Review №17

[updated] Unfortunate experience but polite service with the concierge. Upon arriving for my scheduled appointment I was informed that they have a strict “no masks allowed” policy. The concierge informed me that there is no flexibility in their ability to allow me to wear a mask. I am fully vaccinated but with rising recent risks I was not comfortable going maskless. This is not posted on their website nor was it mentioned to me when I called to ask questions. Had I know this ahead of time I would have gone elsewhere to avoid wasting the barbers time. I was still charged for my appointment but will dispute it with my card company. My suggestion is to update your website and customer communication to avoid a similar situation and credit dispute.*Edit 7/30/21*-I received a call back from the owner shortly after my review posted. The impassioned discussion informed me of the issues he and his business have faced during the pandemic and how impactful reviews can be. I agree that this medium does not always provide as constructive of a conversation as a direct call with management would, and to that effect I have increased my rating. However, in the moment, going to management was not a provided to me as an option so I used what was available. They further updated the disclaimer on google.Additionally, to provide feedback on the discussion; at no point was my intention to attack, disparage, or “strip food from the mouths of employees” as was projected on me in our discussion. I wanted to support a local small business, and that was unfortunately made not possible by a strict policy that was not communicated in any way prior to booking.My feedback to the business owner would be to empower your staff to come up with solutions to situations like this in the future. Preventing against theft is completely valid and understandable. If someone would like to continue to wear a mask for their health, and support your business, perhaps give the option to unmask and face any cameras in store so the face is fully exposed but only for a brief time or request ID. Also have your staff offer your contact information if someone has an issue so the conversation is enabled with you rather than telling customers there is nothing else to be done. Finally, if you call a customer wanting to talk about their review and ask for them to adjust it, listen to them without making accusatory and incorrect judgements or attacking their character. Try to make it a positive interaction

Went there last year a week before my wedding in August 2020 and they were great. Very professional, great value and one of the few that would do beard trimming at the time. Will go back again.

Review №20

Great fade and shave work. Uneven haircut (asked to fix it once- still wasnt even). Very uncomfortable conversations by the owner - making fun of other local small businesses, speaking about women in a patriarchal/stereotypical way, and talking about different nationalities in a very stereotypical and xenophobic way, etc ... I was very uncomfortable. (It was all loudly spoken so everyone could hear...) And, before the mask mandate was lifted- they did not required anyone to wear masks - I mentioned I was fully vaccinated -two doses (like, maybe thats why no one was wearing them) and the owner made fun of vaccinations (oh yeah, Ive got my third one, haha). I will not be going back or recommending this place - which sucks- because I really want to be supporting small, locally black- owned businesses.... 😔

Review №21

Piankhi is an amazing barber. His style for fading my beard and sides of my head are perfect. Hes good to just chill with too. I think thats equally important. He came in at 6am for me because of my crazy schedule and was cool and ready to get it done! Ive had 2 haircuts and beard trims by him and Im impressed. Hanif is rad too and I did my hair once the first time I was in and it was on that same level but a little different to their style of cutting hair I think. I will be getting haircuts from them for a long time coming. Good work guys.

Review №26

Ive been going to Hanif for about 4 years now. Ive never found a barber (or really any profession) who is as consistent at being a master of their craft as him. The way Hanif thinks about cutting hair is different - its not his job - its his passion and his trade. Ive watched Hanif cut hair from 6am - 9pm every day of the week for months on end and it shows with the quality of his work. Overall I recommend Hanif to every one of my friends and enjoy experience that I have every time Im in his shop.

Hanif was so great. I went in for a beard trim and he made me look a thousand times better. Everyone there was kind, funny, and above all very skilled in what they do. I also love that they have many, many books in the shop. There’s no doubt that I’ll be going back!

Hanif gave me an Executive Haircut, best Ive had in years. We exchanged information on my preferences and he went to work. Quickly and unerringly he sculpted my hair into a very professional look. He combines technical proficiency with artistic vision and attention to detail. I will definitely be back for future appointments.

Hanif knows what he’s doing. The staff is phenomenal; Austin at the front counter was quick to ask if we needed water or anything. The atmosphere felt clean and open. Zack did amazing in my five year old. Very patient and Hanif was very interactive with my son; brownie points all the way. The end result was a game changer for my kid. Momma wants best and this is where best is done. Highly recommend.

I have been taking my boys to Hanif for 3 years now. Not only is he very professional and fun to talk to but he also does great with kids of all ages and always makes them feel like they are being listened to. I highly recommend Hanif for his knowledge, skills, fun conversation, clean atmosphere, and beautiful interior aesthetic. From start to finish, the experience is luxurious yet comfortable.

Review №49

My son and I were trying out all the barber shops in Vancouver a few years ago, looking for quality. We eventually came across Hanif whose refined skills, dedication to quality, and flair for interesting conversation of substance really stood out. He has since opened Tonsor and built it from the ground up to reflect those characteristics. It is always a pleasure to visit his space and my boy and I always walk away feeling confident and sharp. Spending a few extra bucks each month or so to receive the highest quality of service is a good return, especially compared to all the problematic cuts I received frequenting the cheap, basic, uninspired status quo that plagues the area.

Review №50

Wonderful experience for my teenage son who is a little shy. Made an appointment with Hanif for a haircut and shave and after we left, my son, who hasnt allowed anyone to touch his hair for over 5 years, thanked me for taking him. He said Hanif was a really cool guy that was interesting to talk to. Hanif gave my son pointers and advice on how to shave his face, and he really appreciated that. And because of this experience and sitting in Hanifs chair for an hour, my son left feeling confident and proud of himself and seemingly wants to take better care of grooming himself (and educating himself more after listening to Hanif talk). Thank you! Will return!

Review №53

I contacted Tonsor, because I have an undercut and the beauty salon was not interested in giving me the hairstyle I wanted but more of the vanity of a woman having shaved hair.Hanif, the owner, responded that his shop would be more than happy to take care of my undercut for me the way I wanted it done. I have received wonderful service, the hairstyle that I wanted and I am happy to support a local business.As long as I live in the area I will continue to go to Hanif to maintain my undercut.

Hanif has skills. I havent needed a new barber for several years but when I needed to find a new one, I tried here first. I am really glad I did. I didnt really know what I wanted, but he hooked me up with a great cut and beard trim. He knows how to trim a beard, mine has never looked better.I also love the style of this place, great atmosphere, and good books if youre waiting for your turn. Its cash only as well and I made the mistake of not bringing any but I was saved by the ATM they have in the back. My next appointment is already booked and will not be looking for a new barber anymore. Thank you for the great work, Hanif! Youre the best.

Review №75

Hanif is the only person in town I let cut my hair. Any time I have to go anywhere else, I ended up regretting it. He is an expert at recognizing what each head needs.Another reason I love going to Tonsor is that Hanif is always willing to talk and to listen. I always leave having learned something, and having had the chance to share some knowledge or perspective. Even when our perspectives dont align I know I will be treated like a human being and still get the best haircut in town.But the strongest reason to support this business is that Hanif and his family are good people. In an ideal world, we would have more people in Vancouver like Hanif. Hes the type of guy that will stop to help you if he runs into you outside of the shop (even 2000 miles away and I can vouch for that). Hes a family man and an entrepreneur with a lifetime of experience, and he cares about people. You should go in!
