Othman's Lancaster

Walk in any day of the week — walk-ins are always accepted at 321 Lancaster St W. Booked appointments are given priority and are seen first, so the schedule holds and every cut gets its full time; a walk-in is seated as soon as a chair comes free, which is usually one cut. If you want a specific barber or a specific slot, booking online is the safer call. It takes under a minute.

Yes — 321 Lancaster St W is open normal hours, seven days a week, throughout. Lancaster St W is closed to through traffic from Elizabeth St to north of Union St until December 2026 and the shop sits inside that segment. Use the rear entrance via Bond St — the rear of 321 Lancaster St W, mid-block between Elizabeth St and Union St. We cannot promise vehicle access to the lot while the closure is on, so allow time to park nearby and walk in.

A senior cut for 65 and over is $32 at 321 Lancaster St W, down from the $35 standard haircut, and it takes the same half hour with the same consultation. No appointment gymnastics — walk in or book, either is fine. Children from one month to thirteen years are discounted here too.

We are open seven days a week. The live status next to our hours shows whether we are open right now and when we close today. Holiday hours are posted in advance on our Instagram and updated here.

Yes, and it is worth saying plainly because people ask. Our barbers cut every hair type and texture — straight, wavy, curly, coily, Afro-textured, fine and coarse. Curls get shaped rather than fought flat, and the consultation covers how your hair actually grows before anything is cut.

Our Lancaster shop is at 321 Lancaster St W, Kitchener, ON N2H 4V4. We are just past the Bridgeport area and minutes from Centre In The Square and the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, with on-site parking available.

Skin fades and tapers, scissor cuts and textured crops, beard shaping and line-ups, and traditional hot towel straight-razor shaves. We also cut senior and children's hair at a discounted rate for the local Kitchener community.

Both. Fades are what we are best known for, but our barbers are trained on shears as well as clippers — scissor cuts, textured crops, side parts and longer layered work are all part of the job here. If you are growing your hair out and want it shaped rather than shortened, say so when you book and we will cut for the shape you are heading towards.

Debit, all major credit cards, and cash. If you prefer cash there is an Othman's-managed ATM inside the shop with zero service charges, so you can withdraw exactly what you need — for the cut or the tip — without paying a fee.

There is an on-site lot, but Lancaster St W is closed to through traffic from Elizabeth St to north of Union St until December 2026 and we cannot promise vehicle access to it while that is on.

Yes. Book online and choose your barber by name. Once you have found someone whose work you like, request them every visit — they will have your previous cut on file.
