The shop
A neighborhood barbershop with serious skill.
Tucked into the Bank Street strip in Ottawa's south end, Clean Cut is where regulars come for honest prices, sharp work and a chair that feels like home. Multiple barbers, no long wait, and a cartoon-covered wall that's basically famous.
Inside the shop
The Atmosphere
Barbering done right on Bank St
Clean Cut Barber Shop is a full-service barbershop at 2401 Bank St in Ottawa's south end. Our barbers bring more than two decades of combined experience to every chair — from sharp skin fades and classic tapers to straight-razor line-ups and freehand hair designs.
Fades & tapers
Every fade is blended by hand with clippers and finished with a lined-up hairline and a hot-towel neck shave. Whether you want a low taper, a mid fade, or a bald skin fade taken right down, we keep the lines clean and the grow-out natural.
Beards, kids & designs
Beard trims and shape-ups happen in the same chair, blended into the sideburns. We cut kids daily with patient, family-first service, and we take on custom hair designs freehanded with the trimmer. Walk-ins are always welcome, and a quick call locks in your chair.
Where we cut
Comparing barber shops in Ottawa?
If you're weighing up barber shops in Ottawa — or searching for barber shops in downtown Ottawa and ending up on a long waitlist — Clean Cut is the easier drive. We're on Bank Street in Ottawa, Ontario, a straight run south from the Glebe, Centretown and the Sussex Drive side of the core, with free parking at the door instead of a downtown garage. People also find us as "Clean Cuts barber shop", and it's the same chair either way.
The 2401 Bank St plaza sits in the middle of the Bank Street Ottawa shopping strip, so a fresh fade fits neatly around the shoppers, groceries and errands you already run on Bank St. Regulars come from Blossom Park, South Keys, Alta Vista, Hunt Club, Findlay Creek and Riverside South, and plenty of downtown clients make the trip for the price and the wait time. Walk in any day we're open, or call ahead to lock in a chair.
