I recently got a hair cut from David. I have to say he really knows his job. I am in love with my new hair cut.
29 July 2023 10:31
My last barber closed so I tried this place for the first time. Had my hair cut with Jung and he did a really nice job. Was a chill experience overall and I'll definitely come back.
28 July 2023 0:41
I had an amazing experience here. Jung O was very knowledgeable with his skills.helped me figure out what kind of hairstyle I wanted.

Vancouver Korean Barbersap recommendation
It's a barber shop where you can feel something manly, and it gives you a neat haircut and manages it well.
Scheduled to visit again
If you are looking for a Korean barber shop in Vancouver, I highly recommend Noon.

Thank you David for the haircut. He is very friendly and engaging personality adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the haircutting experience with David

Andy is a great barber. I have a lot of good conversations with him. Turns out we know a lot of mutual friends which is a plus. Haven't had a problem yet. Recommend paying in cash.
04 June 2023 20:08
I see Tony at New Shanghai Barbershop he has been recommended to me through friends. He does not disappoint, hands down the best hair cut I’ve gotten in town! If you are wanting to look fresh for any occasion please check out Tony and New Shanghai Barbershop.

He is very professional and welcoming. Next time you are in the area please get your hair cut here! Tony and team will make sure you look super fresh!
07 February 2023 17:35
Awesome place! Been coming here for years!

Update: Still the place to get a great haircut. Tony's a solid barber.
02 February 2023 5:00
I tried for the first time yesterday. Jung is really great person and cut perfectly. Highly recommended! Thanks Jung ️
01 February 2023 21:00
I had an amazing experience here. Tony was very patient and knowledgeable with his consultation. Took his time and helped me figure out what kind of hairstyle I wanted, as I'm inexperienced and never know what to ask for in a haircut. He was very careful when cutting my hair and paid close attention to detail. Was also a great conversationalist and worked efficiently, making sure to explain everything in detail and that I understood everything that was going on with my hair. I learned more than I have from every other barber/stylist combined. Also consistently made sure there wasn't hair sitting on me anywhere.

Tldr; 10/10 experience. Clean and spacious interior, great barbers, very knowledgeable and helpful. They really want to make you happy with your haircut. Loved the cut!

P. S. The food rec was great

Best barber shop in town! Been cutting with the owner for 6+ years. Top notch guy. Quality staff. Highly recommend!
31 December 2022 20:51
My girlfriend loved my haircut! Jung did an awsome job. Will definitely return to New Shanghai Barbershop. Till next time Jung!
27 December 2022 5:48
Jung is awesome! Calm and talented. Thanks Andy for perfecting him.

I would recommend for anyone looking for a haircut in the barbershop.
22 December 2022 17:44
Got my cut by Tony and it was amazing! Great service, they don’t rush the haircut and really pay attention to detail. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new barbershop!
16 December 2022 3:29
It just felt like one of those clicky places you go and are not cool enough to fully enjoy getting a haircut, but pretty good fade though.
16 October 2022 13:35
Super great service. I had Steven, he was really enjoyable all throughout and was super knowledgable and helpful in getting my cut. He told me things about my hair that I didn't know before as well as mistakes that my previous barbers have done and what to ask for in the future. So much care and effort is put into every stage of the cut using tools and services that I've never had been given before. Would definitely come again!
02 October 2022 4:57
It was a huge struggle finding a good barbershop after trying so many barbershops the last few months for myself but going to new shanghai barbershop definitely has changed that. I was quite content with the service provided by Justin with the great conversation, excellent communication skills to accommodate what I was looking for and well detailed haircut that was crafted by him. I'm looking forward to support this barbershop I would recommend to all!
05 September 2022 2:33
Very good haircuts, they spend a lot of time on you and are very detail oriented. I’ve been seeing Tony and he is great!
14 August 2022 22:05
I’ve been getting my haircut here since they first opened. Always a perfect cut and great conversation. Love these guys.
07 August 2022 19:17
I’ve cut with Justin years before New Shanghai opened. I have followed Justin through two previous barbershops he worked with, until they opened New Shanghai. That is a testament to how good he is as a barber. Always great conversations to go with amazing haircuts. I’ve made a great friend over the years, who also happens to keep my hair looking good. Everyone at New Shanghai is friendly and great. Highly recommended
02 August 2022 4:33
Best haircuts in town. Tony really do be having the softest of hands. Saw him dipping his hands in baby oil before my cut. Got me looking slick.
30 July 2022 13:56
Tried various barbershops in different cities around the world. However, nothing comes close to New Shanghai Barbershop. Justin and his crew are hands down some of the best and most friendly barbers that I know of!
12 July 2022 22:38
Having moved back from overseas, I had been looking for a new barber as I have tricky thick hair.
First time in with Tony and he cut my hair and gave me a skin fade exactly like how I wanted it.
Usually it takes barbers 2-3 cuts to get it right.

5/5 would recommend!
09 July 2022 15:15
After complaining to my friend about how bad my previous barber was.he recommended me to go find Justin and ever since then I haven't looked back. The attention to detail and explains everything in detail on how and why it's being cut that way just amazes me. From the moment you walk-in til the moment you walk out.its nothing but great conversations & laughter. Cannot put a price on that now can you? Will definitely refer anyone and everyone.
29 June 2022 2:17
New Shanghai barber shop is one of the best shop in the town with very talented people. The environment is so cool and the the barbers are all very chill and approachable. From my opinion it’s the best barber shop I’ve ever been. Definitely would recommend to all the new people.
08 June 2022 1:37
Best barbershop in Vancouver. Spent numerous hours at the shop and everyone in the shop has their own welcoming personality. If you have never been to the shop, this is your sign to go and get a haircut from anyone in there. They will get you right from mid-long hair to short buzz cuts. Everyone is very experienced and friendly. Much love to NSB and what they stand for.
28 May 2022 0:58
One of the best barber shop in Vancouver! The staff is very friendly and they also guides you if you aren’t sure about which haircut will suite you!
16 May 2022 8:39
Great haircut and service each and every time. The staff will make certain you are leaving the shop looking your best.
13 May 2022 20:34
Best barbershop I have been to, been going to Tony and Steve for the last few years. Hot towel at the end is
09 May 2022 10:42
Have been coming to this barbershop for the past 5 years or so. Tony is my man. Always takes the time to provide those detailed refinements to make a good haircut great. Never disappointed.
25 April 2022 20:48
Once you get haircut here, you'll be keep going back. Get ready to say goodbye to your old barber
02 April 2022 6:24
Richard was dope! Talked it out for a bit, since it's been a while for me cause of COVID and was really helpful. I look fresh!
13 March 2022 4:36
Since moving to Vancouver I was having a tough time finding a good barbershop. Stumbled across New Shanghai and have gone ever since! Great vibes and a chilled atmosphere. Steven’s haircuts are always fresh and on point. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
11 February 2022 16:35
I went to new Shanghai barber for the first time, and my man Steven hooked me up with the freshest cut I’ve ever got in my life
09 January 2022 4:27
Been coming to see Justin for haircut since before he and his team opened up this shop. Best haircuts in town. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to step up their haircut game.
08 January 2022 13:35
I got a haircut with Steven and ended up with the cleanest haircut of my life.

Def check him out.
28 December 2021 10:01
Steven cut my hair and I’m extremely happy with the result. The haircut is perfect and he’s super friendly.
25 December 2021 19:39
That guy Steven built different man the fade he gave me blurry the line up crispy. Fasho coming back to this guy
15 December 2021 18:53
Amazing service, got my haircut from Steven. Very professional, good environment. Will definitely come back again.
05 December 2021 13:33
Shanghai is the barbershop I have been searching years for. Great vibes, great people, and consistently quality hair cuts. One of the many gems tucked away in Chinatown.
06 September 2021 0:39
Was new to town and was searching for another Barber that I could trust with performing a high quality fade to my hair.

Did my research and came across New Shanghai that had fantastic reviews so I decided to have a look.

First impressions during COVID: wow these guys care about health and safety for sure.

As I sat into Andy's chair, he made me feel welcomed and got to know me very quickly. He asked me what I wanted and I explained the skin fade to him with a hard part.

Guy performs. Clean fade, clean hard part, and great convo throughout.
Attention to detail, and his whole team makes sure that every cut is quality and consistent.

I literally travel out of my way and book to get cuts from Andy now, make sure to book ahead because they fill up fast.

In summary, stop reading and googling, book now and get a clean fade bro!
14 August 2021 15:09
Tony, Justin and the whole new Shanghai barbershop are all quality barbers!
If you’re looking for a great haircut, dope music and awesome conversation, look no further!
12 August 2021 2:04
Steven give amazing haircuts and is a super chill guy. He cut me and most of my friends. I highly recommend trying him out.
10 August 2021 22:02
I’ve been coming to see Tony for several years now and he makes sure I leave feeling fresh with a great cut. He’s always been on time, consistent, and has amazing attention to detail. The entire team is super friendly and I love the atmosphere. I highly recommend! Make sure to make a booking online through their website:)
06 August 2021 6:48
Great place, very hygienic and professional. Richard is very consistent and pays special attention to detail. Overall, great experience whenever I get a cut from him.
04 August 2021 14:38
I've been visiting Jordan for cuts over the last few years, and I've never had a reason to go elsewhere! New Shanghai is always clean, professional, and on time with appointments, while being a relaxing place to visit. Overall I'd highly recommend a haircut here, especially from Jordan.
31 July 2021 1:37
Been seeing Jordan Broadhead for cuts for the last 3+ years now and cannot recommend him enough. Have never left this guy’s chair with anything other than a fresh, clean, and consistent haircut along with some good barbershop banter.
29 July 2021 17:17
Love getting my cuts here! Always a great vibe where you can chill and relax and listen to hip hop beats. Thank you Steven for cutting my hair!
24 July 2021 11:44
Justin did a phenomenal job at cutting my hair. I have a difficult type of hair and he got the job done with no problem. The place is very clean, and everyone there is very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back there for future haircuts.
22 July 2021 5:16
Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. If you’re in need of a haircut in a few weeks hit my guy Tony up for the freshest of fades.
17 October 2020 3:25
Amazing cut for $20. Go for Steven. Don’t let the “apprentice” label fool you, he’s a mfing beast!
11 October 2020 13:04
I don’t usually leave reviews, but New Shanghai really deserves it.

I’ve been coming to this shop for two years now, and am always amazed by the quality and care that goes into each haircut. These guys don’t cut corners!

Especially now with new safety measures in place, you can rest easy knowing that everyone is following the rules to keep the community safe.

Best barber shop in town!
18 September 2020 15:55
Hands down the best barber shop in all of Vancouver! I’ve been seeing Justin for about 2 years now and he nails my cut every time. All the staff there are super friendly and easy to talk to, everyone I see walks out looking as fresh as possible. 12/10 would recommend to anyone!
09 March 2020 11:20
Awesome shop and great guys. Go see Justin and he'll make sure you have a dope haircut and an awesome conversation!
05 March 2020 14:16
Top shelf barber shop. Ive been going here for years and my main person is tony but anyone in this place can provide a solid cut. Would highly recommend this place. Dont forget to give their dog junior a few pats on the way in and out.he appreciates it
04 March 2020 3:23
Went here for a haircut for the first time and got it from Patrick. To say the least he did an amazing cut. He did exactly what I wanted and took the time ensure to it was perfect. Also Andy gave some advice for haircare and input for the haircut to look even better. Highly recommend and will consider coming back for my next cut!
28 February 2020 17:02
Got a cut from Patrick, really good barber, very thorough, would definitely come back to get a cut from him again! If your planning on getting a cut come here your fade will be lookin clean, and blurry!
07 February 2020 5:45
Went into the shop and got the sickest fade I have ever gotten in my life by this kid named Patrick, absolutely flawless. Cool atmosphere, cool staff. Yeah that kid I'm refering all my friends too go there. I will be back too
31 December 2019 0:18
I've been to many salons and barbershops around Vancouver but none of them come even slightly close to this one.
28 December 2019 14:00
This is the only place I go. I love the vibe and you can't beat their cuts. Tony's my dude and I'd recommend this shop to anyone!
26 December 2019 3:33
I’ve had nothing but quality cuts from the team at New Shanghai Barbershop. Tony and his soft hands consistently deliver 5 star quality cuts. This is the place to go if you’re looking for the perfect fade, cut, & overall a memorable experience.
24 December 2019 10:40
Tony is the BEST. I live in kelowna but I only get my beard trimmed in Vancouver by Tony, its all about the details.
17 December 2019 23:21
Got my haircut with Justin. Got a faded mohican cut which he rocked it great! He did an amazing job.
I am not great at talking but we had a great talk.
Bring cash!
13 December 2019 8:06
Hi, my name's Cory. I recently went to the shop for a cut after letting my hair grow out 6 to 8 months. It was my third endeavor at Shanghai and I WILL NOT be going anywhere else. I sat with Justin and received the sickest fade I've ever seen! He was highly skilled and hella patient. Very humble establishment; peeps are super down to earth with cold beverages on demand. 5 stars with ease if you ask me. Thanks Justin!
06 December 2019 23:39
Best barbershop in town. Always working hard, striving for more, and staying on top of their game. Really value the quality and effort put into every cut, the great attention to detail everyone has, and the overall level of service at the shop.
04 December 2019 16:36
This is the only place I go to get my haircut. The service and the cut are amazing. Tony is my go-to guy, he will take care of you. The best part is you can book online and its so simple. If you haven't gotten a haircut here yet then you need to get on it! Just a heads up, it is cash only!

Best barbershop in Vancouver!
02 December 2019 2:14
This establishment caught me by surprise. Located in the downtown Eastside, I did not expect this upscale Barbershop to be. It is a spotless large open environment for those looking for.the more traditional barber offering a full range of services which includes a shave.

Although prices are a little higher than older barbershop s their addition of a pool table for those waiting is awesome!

Nice touch!
05 November 2019 7:32
Been getting my hair cut by Andy for a few months now and I always get an amazing cut every time. 10/10 would do again
27 October 2019 20:21
Hands down the best barbershop downtown. Great atmosphere, top notch work, and wonderful people. Kick back with a beverage and game of pool while you wait, and enjoy an amazing Barbershop experiance. Since moving away from the lower mainland, I still plan my trips around visiting New Shanghai.
24 October 2019 14:22
Fantastic barbershop with excellent service. The people here are not only very skilled and knowledgeable but they give off an amazing vibe and atmosphere. Personal shout out to Tony for always giving me the freshest cuts. You won't be disappointed!
18 October 2019 9:24
After getting my haircut done here for a wedding (the store hosted after hours to prepare us for wedding), it is now my to go haircut salon. Coming all the way from Richmond is still worth it due to their fades. Insanely skilled for men's haircut
14 October 2019 17:34
Been getting cut by Justin for a couple years now - best in the city no question.

Always look forward to coming in and coming back!
09 October 2019 9:12
I've been getting my hair cut by Tony since around 2014 and he has yet to disappoint me. When I heard he was opening a shop with some of his barber friends I knew I had to check it out. The team did an incredible job renovating the shop and carrying on the 50+ year legacy of the the previous owner. Everyone there is very friendly, professional and willing to accommodate your needs. But most importantly, all the barbers know how to give a mean haircut.
