Plenty of barbers/stylists to cut your hair with about 10 chairs. A couple tvs usually with various sports on. Foosball while you wait. Clean, spacious. Book appointments or walk in and take a number and wait. There are a couple other locations. Only a few parking spots on front, but there are places to park along Austin in the strip mall or around that area.

It is a dirty salon, people coming with their dogs in salon, I took my kids two times there but I didn't get good results,
Save your hair and go somewhere else,

Great place to have a haircut. Took my 4 year old there. The guy Andre was very gentle with cutting my sons hair. I must say that not very many barbers have that much patience with little kids. The downside is that it is hard to get parking.

I have a quarter of my head shaved and I have always struggled to find a barber to do my hair. (Usually they are Muslim men and due to their religion, they can't touch women)

When I walked in, Nancy was at the till but she said she could cut my hair. She was very personable and made sure I liked the cut. It was a quick little appointment but I still enjoyed myself.

While I was there, another barber was cutting a 2 year old's hair. The baby was struggling so he put on "Baby Shark" and was so sweet to them. It's clear that they care about their clients.

Got the worst haircut and beard trim ever. Overall staff seems reasonable but found them very dishonest. Got my beard done and washed my hair after 4 minutes and after washing my grey hair were the same. I think the barber was in a hurry and didn't want to spend more time waiting until the hair dyed properly. He put the colour on again and asked me to wash it when I get home. But when I got home, I realized all the hair and beard were still grey. Such a rip off. Feel like I wasted my 100$

You are wasting your time n money if you are visiting another Barber shop. MALA FADE, the BEST BARBER SHOP in town. I’ve been coming here for ever. Great Barbers, amazing atmosphere, good vibes, REAL people…MALA The owner, the man, the legend….
17 January 2023 4:03
Best Fades in B. C. If you get a seat in a chair here you will not be disappointed. Chill vibe, staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

My go to Fade Shop!

FYI Cash only but Cibc and TD are located at end of strip mall on the same block.

Andre has been my go to guy for years now at malafade. He's really detailed in his cuts and takes his time so you don't feel rushed and you've paid your money's worth. Very attentive to requests, easygoing and top notch service. I highly recommend booking with Andre on their website!
22 November 2022 13:07
Was always leery about girls cutting my hair.turned out Nancy did the best fade, best lines ever. She kills it every time.yes she is the only one I go to now, I can trust it will be perfect every time. This is a production shop, it's busy but they work hard and fast.no wonder the best barbers in town are found there!
21 November 2022 8:34
I had an appointment with Mala for a haircut and beard trim a couple of weeks ago. He was professional and did a great job. However, I will note for anyone planning to go to this shop that they only accept cash.
15 November 2022 3:56
I've been Evelins client for 10 years and she has taken the time to figure out what haircut suits me the best and has always provided the best customer service experience. I am currently growing out my hair and she has been able to keep me looking respectable while going through the awkward phase. She's also great at maintaining my beard! 100% recommend her! Thanks Ev!

Asked for a taper at the back but the guy just fully shaved everything on the sides and the back. Heard good things about them but pretty disappointed that he couldn’t do the one thing I asked for.
11 October 2022 1:19
Had Bezhar has my barber, cut was decent but was disrespected by one of the barbers with the dreads the moment I got inside.

The barber with the dreads seemed to be making fun of my name and I did not appreciate that, especially when I'm PAYING to come here.

Have never had an experience at a barbershop where I felt disrespected before and I am definitely NOT coming back and you shouldn't go here either.

They need to improve on their staff and their customer service because it's clearly a joke.
23 August 2022 6:21
Harry gave me the best cut and beard trim I’ve had in my life. He will be cutting my hair and getting me set up for my wedding later this month. Would recommend to anyone
19 May 2022 11:53
Today was the first time I went to Mala Fade. Andre cut my hair and did an amazing job. This is hands down, the best barbershop I’ve been too! I will definitely be coming back!
17 May 2022 15:12
First time here. Ali did a wonderful job cutting my hair. Will come back. Pro tip: walk ins are cheaper and there are many restaurant or places to chill nearby if you need to wait.
07 May 2022 13:05
I remember coming here about 3-4 years ago. I should have done better research before coming as my haircut did not end up looking how I liked it. Prices were pretty standard and customer service was good but wait times were a little long
26 March 2022 18:20
Lived in new west I went to Moe. I moved to Surrey still went to Moe. I purchased in Coquitlam still going to Moe. Love his speed and I’m always changing hair styles and he does exactly how I tell him cut it. Never walk out disappointed.
11 March 2022 2:55
This is the best barbershop in town. I highly recommend to anyone who wants a high level fade or haircut.
19 February 2022 4:34
I’ve been going to Mala Fade on Austin for over 2 years now and I must say it is My favourite Barber Shop in town! Joe Mustafa is truly one of the best barbers I have come across in my life. The staff are friendly and professional. The shop itself is a family friendly, fun environment to be in. They have good music and sports on all the time. I highly recommend.
15 February 2022 10:58
Mala is a magician with the trimmer. If you’re looking for a cut, Mala fades won’t disappoint. Freshest fades in BC.
08 February 2022 6:51
This is the worst place you could ever go to! They are not at all professional, they only treat their known people properly and only 1 or 2 people know how to give a decent haircut.
Most of the time their staff is shouting and just talking to each other, barely pay attention to you!

The guy messed up my hair and tried blaming on me, despite of showing him pictures and specifically telling him what to do! Practically made me bald and says “it looks good brother”, c’mon I’m not getting a haircut for the first time!
04 February 2022 10:49
I've been getting my trims at Mala Fade for a few years, and everyone there is a pro at what they do. Andre is a legend! He always cuts my hair exactly how I describe it.
02 February 2022 13:01
Noah is the best. My boyfriend and brother have been going here to get a cut from him for years. Very professional and gives the best cuts!
31 January 2022 17:42
Been going to Andre for awhile now. Super skillful barber and listens carefully to whatever you ask him to do. Highly recommend.
16 January 2022 13:19
You have to check this place out its the number 1 barbershop in the lower mainland.go see Andre or b6
15 January 2022 18:16
All the staff both male and female are talented. I've had a haircut by 5+ different people. Jo just happens to be the person that ended up being my favourite. As mentioned, all are good but Jo knew exactly which style was ideal for me. Great cuts and beard trims. I'm no longer in the area to get my haircuts here but would highly recommend.
07 January 2022 7:03
I have been coming to Mala fade since 2015 and it has been my go to personally and for any recommendation since the first day. I have seen this shop grow and mature with yearly renovations trying to become the best version of themselves. My barber who I have been coming to for every haircut is named Andre and he has been amazing. He has watched me become a man in all honestly and I always look forward to our little bro sessions during my monthly fade. He has experiments new cuts on me and always excelled. I couldn’t be more pleased to call this place home for all my hair needs!
12 December 2021 9:07
Loved the confidence my hairdresser had when I asked her to do whatever she wanted. I love the new cut and layers!
30 October 2021 22:34
Perfect fade. Good to visit during non peak hrs though. They try their best to manage the wait times but sometimes its gets too busy!
12 October 2021 16:52
Great place to have a hair cut. Took my 4 year old there. The guy Andre was very gentle with cutting my sons hair. I most say, not very many barbers has that much patience with little kids. On the downside, hard to get parking.
10 October 2021 20:01
Good cuts, atmosphere is welcoming. Wish they offered card purchases, cash only or would be 5 stars.
17 September 2021 15:19
Went here with my husband for a fade, heard lots of good things prior and they did not disappoint. Service was fast- price is reasonable. Will be back!
04 September 2021 21:02
I have now taken my 3 sons to get haircuts here, great customer service, efficient, welcoming environment friendly staff.
01 August 2021 15:09
Mala Fade was recommended by a friend of mine. I am so happy I started to get my haircut here. Mala does an amazing job, pays attention to details, I leave there with the same perfect cut. Highly recommend this place for hair cuts/fades!
19 July 2021 6:14
Mala is the best barber from all the other barbers I have got haircut from. Check him out, he’s my g! Now I get a free haircut after this review
29 June 2021 21:09
Joe was great, fast and high quality cut. He listened and gave me exactly what I wanted and didn’t get distracted.
20 June 2021 9:42
These guys are awesome! They always treat my 3 boys and myself very well. Great music while you wait. Highly recommend.
18 June 2021 20:10

They have an amazing team and work great together. The haircuts are phenomenal straight out of a movie scene.
21 May 2021 17:26
This is a cash only business. There's no where online that I saw that said this and I wish I'd have known ahead of time. But, beyond that, they also didn't have any $10s or enough $5s in their float. So, unless you're like me and can use the coin, expect an awkwardly large wad of coin in your pocket and a walk of shame to the bank if you was expecting to pay by means other than cash.

I was in on Friday morning and walking in I was greeted with what can only be described as a "what do you want" type attitude. Once I was in the chair, my haircut was quick and the barber pleasant but it wasn't quite what I asked for. It still looks better than what it was. I am confused because I thought barbers shouldn't cut straight across hair ever (minus when lining up a fringe) yet mine did.

As I say, I was thankful for the cut because I desperately needed it but I won't be back because I felt very unwelcome.
19 May 2021 9:46
My favorite place! I've been going here since their grand opening. Nice guys and the 2 girls who work there are super nice and do a great job.

It can get VERY busy but they are busy for a reason
24 March 2021 0:59
This needs more stars. This barber shop kills it all day every day.
Won't take my grandson anywhere else.
All the barbers are phenomenal!
11 February 2021 10:21
This specific Barber Shop was the best barber shop business locally I have ever had a haircut from in my entire life time that would be considered worth the price and high quality barber haircut local service. The staff are cool, chilled, friendly and make your hair cut appointment experience both relaxed and at quite peace every visit time.

The Barbers are younger and chatty friendly guys that always keep a great conversation going during your haircut customer experiences. This specific location for barber shop does a great service for haircuts for kids just as they do great haircuts for adults.

Haircuts are always reasonably priced with a high quality haircuts with zero customer complaints and concerns of any kind. If you want a adult haircut in a very specific manner, you get those same results with paying reasonable haircut prices. I will be coming back as a priority regularly for many more years as this barber shop was my personal customer choice. Keep up the great work guys, you do great for everyone. *5 Stars automatic*

Had to switch barbershops and my friend suggested I go here. I had my hair cut by Nancy and I'm really happy with it. Definitely coming back again.
17 October 2020 4:46
Mala is really good at fading but unfortunately a lot of the other barbers that work that are not as experienced in cutting hair or even fading.
13 October 2020 0:55
DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS PLACE! The amount of time they spend for you is ridiculously low and the barber did not have the most basic knowledge and experience in hair dressing! When I mentioned the mistakes he acted rude, stopped making conversations and just wanted to get rid of me. He spent only 10 minutes working on my hair. I would rather spend 40$ instead of 19$ to just have a cleaner cut!
08 September 2020 17:04
I've been coming here for years. The business is amazing. They have multiple locations which is great as well. The owner is very friendly and the staff are always polite and organized. Thanks guys!
14 April 2020 10:41
Most of the staff are pretty good, usually 30 min wait minimum.i would have given 4 or even 5 but not all staff are same level of skill.be picky
12 April 2020 1:50
We bring both our kids to Mala for their cuts and its always smooth sailing. He is very patient and everyone is welcoming. They make it comfortable not only for children of any age but for anybody who walks through those doors. I recommend Mala Fades to anybody looking to get affordable cuts. He also has locations in Burnaby and Surrey!

Today I'm sad to leave a low review. I've been getting my haircut here all year. The past 3 times I got different styles by different staff and always left happy because they all did a great job but today it was the biggest hair disaster of my entire life. I went for a scissors only haircut, it looked good on the mirror but when I got home I noticed it was completely uneven. Longer parts on the back very short at the front, lost all volume I wanted to keep on the top. Sides and lower back very neat, he took good time and detail there but overall my hair is destroyed. Guess I will look for a different place for scissors and come back for fades here, last I got was fire.
