Old North: Between Class and Everything Else
The vibe
Richmond Street runs through Old North towards Western, with established homes on the streets around it. If you spend your week travelling between campus and the core, this is a useful place to find your regular spot.
The scene
Twins Barbershop at 1135 Richmond Street does haircuts for women and men, with colour and styling if you’re ready for a change. Beard care and children’s cuts are on the menu too.
Twins takes walk-ins, and its official website has individual booking buttons for each barber. Prices and services can differ by provider. For a colour appointment, check the selected barber's menu or arrange a consultation. The Western campus guide has more spots to compare by distance.
The local perks
Gibbons Park and the Thames Valley Parkway are options for a walk after your appointment. Head to the Western guide for more spots near campus, or Richmond Row if you’re travelling south.
