About Tommy Gun's Original Barbershop

On Hillside Avenue in Victoria, BC, Tommy Gun's runs as part of the recognizable franchise that has expanded across western Canada — but this particular location at 1644 Hillside Ave has its own regulars and pace shaped by the surrounding neighborhood. Hillside is car-friendly territory, which means the wheelchair-accessible parking lot out front genuinely matters for clients arriving from across the Saanich Peninsula or downtown. The shop accepts walk-ins, with appointments recommended during the busier Saturday stretches.

Services follow the Tommy Gun's pattern: men's cuts, beard trims, the trademark hot lather neck shave, and the ten-minute scalp massage that frequently turns into the upsell of the visit. Beverages are offered, the washroom meets accessibility standards, and credit and contactless payments are standard at checkout. The 4.4 rating across 782 reviews settles the shop into the reliable-rather-than-remarkable category — clients know what they're getting and the experience holds.

For Victoria residents who haven't tried the chain, the appeal is procedural consistency: a Tommy Gun's cut at this location follows the same template as one in Kelowna or Edmonton, which matters when traveling or relocating. Local barbers do customize within the system, so clients with specific preferences should establish them clearly during the first visit. The location's accessibility features and parking make it a practical pick when other Hillside shops require street parking gymnastics.

Thank you Andie for a very professional, precise and fun cut!! I am so glad to have had you as my barber and I look forward to my next visit. An amazing time and my wife and daughters loved the style. With appreciation and respect, Rish :)

Noel Bass — 5/5 (via Google)

Raj did an awesome job at the first time but when I wanted to get cleaned up on the back they were so helpful and kind to help me out. Belo gave me such a good experience! Enjoy your experience if you decide to get a haircut.

Katrin Gustar — 5/5 (via Google)

I was searching for a hairdresser for my son because every time we went to Lee Lee he ended up with crooked haircuts and spots that were too short and too long. I saw a girl at the pool with her two sons. They had the perfect haircuts and I asked her where to go and she said Tommy Lees in Hillside mall and ask for Andie. My son was melting down because he was expecting to go to Lizzy Lee and ended up in a new barbershop. It took some time and some coaxing to get him to go in but Andie and all the staff were incredibly kind and very patient with my son. We ended up getting a haircut with him, sitting on my lap and squirming around quite a bit, but it still came out perfect. Highly recommend this to any parent bringing their kids in for a proper haircut.
