We opened on Wellington Street in Verdun in 2020 — worst possible timing, right? We built it anyway. Dillinger's is a barbershop, a retail boutique, and a café under one roof. It's loud on some days and quiet on others. It's exactly what a neighborhood spot should be.

GOOGLE REVIEW
A shop that was built to last, not to trend.
No franchise. No corporate playbook. Just a team of people who take the craft seriously and a room that shows it.
CRAFT First
Every service is built on technique, not speed. We don't rush because we don't need to.
REAL EDUCATION
We explain what we're doing and why. You leave knowing more than when you came in.
The Neighborhood
Verdun-born, Verdun-built. This shop exists because of the people on this street.
NO B.S
We'll tell you what your hair needs honestly — even if it's not what you wanted to hear.

PRICING SYSTEM
3 LEVELS. ONE STANDARD.
Our pricing is tiered by barber experience — not because some barbers are better, but because their time in the industry, their range of skills, and their speed are different. You pick what fits your needs and your budget.
01
LEVEL
Full range of techniques, consistent results, handles the harder stuff without flinching. They've done this long enough that you're in capable hands every time.
HAIRCUT FROM $47.50
02
LEVEL
The top of the house. Consultation-driven, technically sharp, and the kind of barber who notices what you didn't tell them. Worth it if the details matter to you.
HAIRCUT FROM $57.50
03
LEVEL
Barbers that have been doing this long enough to know what works and what doesn't. Strong consultation, clean execution, and the experience to handle anything that walks through the door.
HAIRCUT FROM $67.50
WHAT WE DO
SERVICES
01
HAIRCUTS
From a clean, straightforward cut to a full technical scissor service — this is the core of what we do. Every haircut starts with a consultation. You don't need to know the terminology — just show up and we'll figure it out together.

BEARD SERVICES
From a quick trim to a full traditional service with hot towel and straight blade. We work with what you have — three days of growth or a full beard that needs reshaping. Every service includes a clean line-up and finish.
BOOK THIS →03
TRADITIONAL SHAVE
We wouldn't call ourselves barbers if we didn't offer this. Straight blade, hot towel, local products, and steady hands. The traditional shave is 45 minutes of doing one thing properly — no rushing, no shortcuts, just the real thing.

COMBOS
Can't decide? Don't. Combine any services and come in for the full treatment. Haircut, beard, shave — built around what your hair and face actually need. Talk to your barber when you book and we'll put the right combination together.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff that know their stuff. Great conversation and answered all my questions about hair and beard care. Didn't feel like I was just a number.
I was 15 minutes late and they took someone else. They called multiple times but I didn't answer or let them know — and now I'm leaving a 1 star review.
Cory took his time, asked the right questions, and gave me a haircut that actually fits my face. The fact that there's a café right there is just a bonus.
Jean-Benoit is a master of his craft. Cory too. Great boutique on site and a café with plenty of options. Don't hesitate — just go.
A+ service in the shop. They asked the right questions to find the right product — didn't just sell me something. Their product line is the best I've used in a long time.
Had an excellent experience with Sébastien. It didn’t feel like “just a haircut”, it was genuinely personalized service. He quickly suggested a style that fit my preferences and facial features, and the result was exactly what I was looking for. The flat white was a great touch, too. You’ve definitely gained a loyal customer. Merci!
FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS.
We get asked the same things a lot. Here are the real answers — no fluff.
Because barbers aren't all at the same stage — and it's only honest to reflect that. A Level 1 barber is fully trained and capable. A Level 3 has years of additional experience, faster execution, and a wider technical range. You pick what makes sense for your hair and your budget.
Yes, we do! However, booking ahead ensures you get your preferred time slot.
Haircuts, beard trims, hot towel shaves, and grooming consultations. Check our services page for the full list.
Quebec doesn't have a governing body that certifies barbershops the way other provinces do. We're aware of that gap — and we take it seriously. Every barber here is held to strict hygiene and sanitation standards. We set the bar ourselves because no one else does.
No, and it's intentional. We prefer to start with your hair in its natural state — it shows us how it actually behaves on a regular day. Wet hair hides a lot of things that matter for a good cut.
Crown Shaving products — small batch, made in Canada, genuinely good formulas. Pre-shave glide, eucalyptus and tea tree lather, moisturizing aftershave balm. Japanese surgical blades for all straight-razor work. Costs us more, feels better, causes less irritation. Not negotiable.
Occasionally for regulars' kids — but we don't have kid-specific services or pricing. Under 12? Call us first. We'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit for your situation.
Indeed, we know our services aren't for everyone — and that's fine. We take pride in what makes us different and we won't compromise on quality, safety, or sanitation. We're not a hair factory and we never will be. Our staff are paid decent wages, receive benefits, and we declare all our revenue — which is unfortunately not common enough in this industry.
