About Bingham Avenue Barber Shop
Bingham Avenue Barber Shop is a barber shop on Bingham Ave in Sault Ste Marie, run as an old school shop rather than a beauty salon. Flat top haircuts are a specialty of the chairs, alongside beard trims for those working through the line. Customers wait their turn for a cut, and coffee and cookies are set out while they do. The shop takes walk-ins only, with no appointments booked, and payment is cash only. It opens Monday to Saturday during the day and stays closed on Sundays. Off street parking is available alongside street parking nearby, making the stop easy for regulars passing through.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the flat top and other classic cuts, with several longtime customers noting no one else in town does a flat top the same way. Close behind is the old school, "man club" atmosphere, where regulars describe a sense of community, friendly conversation, and staff who "don't bore you" with small talk. Coffee and cookies get a mention, and prices are repeatedly called reasonable, cited at fifteen to twenty dollars per cut. One reviewer highlights a barber's patience cutting an autistic child's hair after he'd refused haircuts for over a year, calling the experience positive for both the child and parent. On the negative side, one reviewer reports waiting over an hour only to have another customer cut in line and take their turn. Another wishes the shop stayed open later, noting it closes right as school lets out, making it hard to bring kids in after class.

“Wish they were open later. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to close every day right as school gets out. Just say you don't want to cut kids hair there geez”

She explaibed and was patient and he smiled the entire time no issues. super happy with both cuts from tracy and the owner . Highly recomend. To Tracey huge thanks for making it such a positive experiance for orion.”

“It’s an old school barber shop! They cut hair they way you want it, and the do a great job. Though it appears they have a steady stream of customers the cut is worth the short wait. Coffee and cookies for customers (at least today). $15 for a haircut. More than ample off street parking and lots of street space if needed.”
