Everything you'd ask before booking the chair.

Booking & Visits

How do I book an appointment at Studio K?

Through the booking form on the homepage. Pick your service, drop your details, and send it through. Arron confirms every appointment personally by text, so keep your phone handy — that text is what locks in your time. No apps, no front desk, no back-and-forth. It's a one-chair studio, which means the calendar is Arron's alone and every slot on it is real.

Do you take walk-ins?

No — Studio K runs by appointment only. It's a private one-chair studio, not a shop with a bench of barbers, so there's no walk-in queue to join. The upside: when you book, the chair is yours at that exact time. No waiting around, no getting bumped. Grab a slot through the booking form on the homepage and Arron will text you to confirm.

How do I know my appointment is confirmed?

Arron texts you directly after you submit the booking form. That text is your confirmation — your time isn't locked in until you hear from him. It's also the place to handle any details: if the timing needs adjusting or you want to switch services, sort it out right there in the thread. One conversation, straight with the barber himself, and you're set.

What payment methods do you accept?

That's one of the details best confirmed directly — when Arron texts you back to lock in your time, just ask what works. It's a one-chair private studio, so you're dealing with the owner himself, not a till and a lineup. He'll tell you exactly how he handles payment before you're ever in the chair, so there are no surprises on the day.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Life happens. Text Arron on the same thread he used to confirm your appointment — the earlier the better, since a one-chair studio can often offer your slot to someone else with enough notice. There's no formal policy posted on the site, so the easiest move is to confirm how he handles changes when he texts you back to lock in your time.

Services & Styles

What services does Studio K offer?

The menu is tight on purpose: the Signature Cut, the Skin Fade, Cut + Beard, the Beard Sculpt, the Hot Towel Shave, and Young Kings cuts for kids 12 and under. Every service gets the full one-chair treatment — no rushing you out for the next customer, because there isn't one waiting. Full details and the current menu are on the homepage.

How much does a haircut cost?

Current pricing lives on the menu on the homepage — that's always the most up-to-date source. What you're paying for is a private one-chair experience: Arron's full attention, no assembly line, no rotating chairs. If you're not sure which service fits what you want, book the one that looks closest and sort out the details when Arron texts to confirm.

What's the difference between the Signature Cut and the Skin Fade?

The Signature Cut is the full haircut, tailored to your head — shape, length, lineup, finish. The Skin Fade takes the sides and back all the way down to skin, blended clean into the top. If you want a fade that hits zero, book the Skin Fade. Not sure what suits you? Book either one and talk it through with Arron in the chair — that's what a one-chair studio is for.

Do you do braids, colour, or perms?

No braiding, no colour, no perms — Studio K keeps it to cuts, fades, and beard work, done properly. That said, if you already wear braids, Arron will fade and line up around them so your edges stay sharp without touching the braids themselves. If that's what you're after, mention it in the booking form so he knows exactly what you need.

What does the Hot Towel Shave involve?

The classic barbershop treatment: hot towels to soften the skin and open things up, then a careful, close shave and a clean finish. It's as much about the ritual as the result — slower and sharper than anything you'll manage at home over a sink. Check the menu on the homepage for the current offering, and book through the form when you're ready.

Kids & Families

Do you cut kids' hair?

Yes — Young Kings is the kids' cut for ages 12 and under. Same chair, same care, same standards as the adult menu, just built for smaller clients. And because it's a private one-chair studio, your kid isn't walking into a loud shop with clippers buzzing on every wall. Book it through the form on the homepage like any other service.

What ages qualify for a Young Kings cut?

Young Kings is for kids 12 and under. From 13 up, they book from the regular menu — Signature Cut, Skin Fade, or whatever fits their look. If your kid is right on the line or you're not sure which service to pick, put a note in the booking form and Arron will sort it out with you when he texts to confirm.

My kid gets nervous at the barbershop. Will Studio K work for them?

This is where a one-chair private studio earns its keep. No crowd, no wall of buzzing clippers, no strangers watching — just Arron, your kid, and you. A quiet, private space makes a real difference for nervous kids. Mention it in the booking form so Arron knows what he's working with before you arrive, and he can confirm anything else by text.

Can I stay with my child during the cut?

Of course. It's a private studio with one chair — there's no waiting room to be sent off to and no lineup behind you. It's just you, your kid, and Arron in the room. Stay close, chat, take the first-haircut photo, whatever the moment calls for. Book through the homepage form and Arron will confirm the details by text.

How should I prep my kid for their first visit?

Keep it simple. Tell them where they're going and that it's one barber in a private studio — no busy shop, no strangers. Book a Young Kings appointment through the form and mention it's their first visit; Arron confirms by text, so any questions can be handled right there. Come with a rough idea of the style you want, or a photo, and let Arron take it from there.

Finding Us

Where is Studio K located?

64 Frederick Dr in Guelph's south end. It's a private one-chair studio, not a storefront on a main strip — which is exactly the point. Quiet, residential, nobody wandering in mid-cut. Punch the address into your maps app and you're there. When Arron texts to confirm your booking, he can flag anything worth knowing before you arrive.

What are your hours?

The hours posted on the site run Tuesday to Saturday. Since everything is by appointment, the real question is which slots are open — submit the booking form with your preferred time and Arron will text you to lock it in. Check the site for the current posted hours before you book, since a one-chair studio's schedule is exactly as flexible as its one barber.

Is there parking at Studio K?

The studio is at 64 Frederick Dr in Guelph's south end. As for exactly where to park when you arrive, that's easiest to confirm when Arron texts you back to lock in your time — ask in that thread and he'll point you to the right spot before you leave the house. One quick question and you're covered.

Do you take clients from outside Guelph?

Absolutely — the chair doesn't check your postal code. Studio K sits in Guelph's south end, which makes it a straightforward drive from Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and the surrounding area. If the cut is worth it, the drive is worth it. Book through the form on the homepage the same as anyone else, and Arron will text to confirm your time.

What should I expect when I arrive?

A private one-chair studio — no waiting room full of strangers, no number to take, no barbers competing for volume. When you book, the slot belongs to you: show up at your time and the chair is ready. Any arrival details worth knowing, like where to park or how to find the door, are easy to confirm in the text thread when Arron locks in your booking.
