Othman's
Othman's Lancaster at 321 Lancaster St W is on its rear entrance via Bond St until the closure lifts in December 2026, and Othman's Westheights at 450 Westheights Dr has free plaza parking. Neither charges, neither is metered, and both take walk-ins seven days a week, Monday to Friday 10 to 7:30, Saturday 10 to 6 and Sunday 11 to 5.
Nobody lists parking as a reason they picked a barber, and almost everybody uses it as one. A twenty-minute haircut stops being a twenty-minute errand the moment you are circling a block looking for a meter.
The short answer
Othman's Lancaster is at 321 Lancaster St W in Kitchener. Lancaster St W is closed to through traffic until December 2026, so use the rear entrance via Bond St and park nearby for now. Othman's Westheights, 450 Westheights Dr, Unit 2, has free plaza parking. Neither charges, neither needs an app, and neither is metered.
Why this matters more than it sounds
A standard haircut is a 30-minute booking. If parking adds ten minutes at the front and a five-minute walk at each end, you have turned half an hour into an hour — and that is the version of the trip people quietly keep putting off.
It matters more again if you are bringing a child, carrying anything, or coming on a winter evening. A $30 children's cut is an easy errand when the car is outside the window and a genuine ordeal when it is three blocks away in February.
