First time I walked in I didn't know anyone and by the time I walked out I felt like a regular. No pretension, no weird chain-haircut vibe, just good music and someone who actually listens to what you want. I've been back a dozen times since.
I have thick, slightly curly hair and most shops in Waterloo either buzz it short or give up. Stray Dog actually works with it. The scissor cut I booked with Liam was the first time in a while I left a barbershop feeling like the haircut was built for my hair instead of against it.
Walked in needing a haircut, walked out actually styled. That's the part I keep coming back for. You can tell the finish isn't rushed. It holds shape for almost the whole week.
