The chair

Ali has been looking after Old Ottawa South for years.

Regulars describe Opus as a neighbourhood staple: a clean, low-key shop where the barber is "meticulous", "cordial" and consistent, and where the conversation is as good as the cut. Some customers have been coming back for more than 20 years.

The shop is small and easy to spot: look for the burgundy sign and the windows full of plants on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South.

“It always feels more like a visit than a haircut.”James M., Google review
