Italian barbering 

Snip. Snip. The sound of scissors. The perfect tool to cut hair. Precise. Adept. Nostalgic. Are we old school?

You bet.

communication

One thing we pride ourselves on is that we listen.

We may not understand you all the time…but we listen. 

friendly

Benvenuto means welcome. Come in. Sit down. Watch the footie game. Relax and chat. But be ready: you may start talking with your hands.


Premium Barbershops in Victoria BC are not all created equal.

We’re not afraid to admit that we’ve been voted the best barbershop in Victoria by Canada’s Top Choice Awards. What good is an award if we don’t brag a little?

We won by making the customer the center of attention, not ourselves. You are the most important person when you visit our barbershop. 

We want you to walk in, so you can strut out with Italian swagger.


A few things to expect from us

Before clippers came to dominate the barbering world, scissors and razors were used to cut men’s hair. Along with this old-fashioned approach, here are few things you can expect when you visit

Hot Towel Service

A steamy hot towel wrapped around your noggin.

Sounds nice? It comes with every haircut.

Attention to detail

Rush. Rush. Rush. The mantra of the day.

Not here. We take our time.

Massage

To finish every haircut, we offer a scalp and shoulder massage. Aside from how you’ll look, it’s the best part.

Classic Taper Haircuts

This haircut is best done with scissors, which allows for a gradual blend from the nape to the occipital notch. Clippers are used to edge and finish, and then the style is blown dry and styled with a finishing paste. 

Quo Vadis?

Since the beginning of time, the question was asked of men: “Quo vadis?”

Every gent of some repute, from Caesar to King George V, had a distinctive look.

Now, when he is asked the question of the ages: “Where do you go?”

He can say with firm pride: “Am I not a man? There is only one place to go. I go to Uomo.”


Beard trims, shaping, and treaments

We can handle all manners of beards. If you are looking to feel good in your freshly grown facial foliage, and it is feeling itchy and unkept, we can help you achieve that perfect look to suit your style and facial structure.

If you want a little more, we offer beard treatments using the best Italian beard products known to man.

Fades

Clean. Tight. A look for men who don’t mess about.

This advanced haircut involves zero-gapping, a gradual blend to the top, straight razor shaving around the edges, and an artists patience. 

Pick your artist. Michelangelo. Raffaello . Donatello. 

No. We’re not talking about ninja turtles.


Uomo means man

What to call a grooming gathering of men?

We could have called it “men,” but “uomini” was a mouthful.

Since we focus on one man at a time, “uomo” became the title of choice.

Man.

Singular.

A lone warrior.

Singularly masculine.

Uomo: Italian for man.


Straight razor shaves

There is nothing more masculine than straight razor shaving.

Hot towels.

Facial massage.

Old school brush lathering.

Cold steel running over your jugular.

What a way to relax.

Stephen has been cutting my and my son’s hair for nearly a decade and we couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. He’s a skilled barber who listens to what you want and always provides a fantastic haircut. His shop is modern and clean and the atmosphere is family friendly and lively. Great staff, too! Highly recommended!

I've been going to Uomo for 8 years and have had nothing but great cuts. Steve, Trancy and Guiseppe are all fantastic. My most recent visits were with Guiseppe and his cuts are excellent with great attention to detail.

Having no previous experience with Uomo and sharing a quick email description my situation (never having a "look" change in many years and having grown out my hair and beard so a barber would have something to work with) I received a reply within 24 hours and an appointment shortly thereafter. Steven was receptive to the challenge and after a brief hashing of ideas my look was transformed with a great cut and trim. Steven also recommended some beard oil and hair product which has made it possible for me to easily replicate the result in the morning with limited mirror time.A true professional and executioner of his craft I would recommend Uomo & Steven to anyone.Reasonable pricing and plenty of parking nearby as well.

Great barbershop with an Italian style. They are clean, organized, the staff is friendly and they are taking measures to reduce the exposures risks of this pandemic. They have a fair price and provide good haircuts. However, I had some issues. It was our first time and I showed pictures of reference for my son and me. And for both, we had something different. For my son, it was better than I asked. But for me, I hated it. But it's a process and I would return there.
