Othman's
Othman's runs student pricing at Guelph from $30 and Waterloo from $26.25, across the full menu rather than a basic cut only. A current student ID from any institution is the requirement.
Othman's runs a student menu at two shops — Guelph from $30 and Waterloo from $26.25 — and it applies across the menu rather than to a basic cut only. A valid student ID is the whole requirement.
Which shops have student pricing?
Guelph, at 87 Macdonell St, and Waterloo, at 288 Albert St. Both sit close to campus — Guelph is a two-minute walk from Guelph Central Station, Waterloo is on the Albert Street corridor between the two universities.
Lancaster and Westheights in Kitchener run standard pricing, with family rates for children and discounted senior cuts.
Does the student rate cover fades and beard work?
Yes. The student menu runs the full range — taper fade, zero fade, skin fade, haircut with beard trim, and haircut with hot towel shave. It is a discount on the menu, not a stripped-down cut.
The one thing to know is that prices vary slightly between the two shops, so check your shop's page before you book.
What counts as a valid student ID?
A current card from any institution — University of Guelph, Conestoga, Waterloo, Laurier, or anywhere else. Physical or on your phone. It is checked at the chair, not at booking, so bring it with you.
When is it quietest?
Weekday mornings, and the first hour after opening at 10. The busiest windows are late afternoon through evening, and the Sunday before classes resume. Waterloo's late hours — 9 PM weeknights, 11 PM Friday and Saturday — exist largely because of student schedules.
