Mr Mustache Barbershop & Barber Academy in Maple Ridge has been sharpening local style and skills since opening its doors, quickly becoming the go-to spot for classic cuts and modern fades. What makes them stand out is their dual focus: a lively neighbourhood barber shop and a licensed barber academy sharing one welcoming space. That mix means clients get experienced barbers and trainees overseen by certified instructors, all working in a roomy 1,200 square foot salon designed for comfort and conversation.

They offer a full suite of barber services you can actually see the quality in. Expect beard sculpting with Reuzel and Suavecito products, precision scissor cuts, skin fades, hot towel shaves, and men’s colour services using Redken Brews. The Barber Academy runs supervised student appointments at reduced rates, which is a great option if you want a great value cut without sacrificing attention to detail. They also retail aftercare items like beard oil, pomade, shampoo, and a selection of razors and brushes for at-home grooming.

The atmosphere is relaxed but professional. Walk in and you’ll notice the team’s rhythm: consultations that last two to five minutes, focused cutting stations, and instructors available to ensure consistency. Owners and senior barbers hold provincial certifications and first aid training, and the academy follows the provincial curriculum so students finish ready for industry licensing. Appointments are available online or by phone, with some walk-in space on weekdays.

Locals choose Mr Mustache because it feels like a part of Maple Ridge, not a faceless chain. They sponsor youth sports teams, host monthly veteran haircut clinics, and run community training nights to help newcomers into skilled trades. If you want a reliable cut, beard care advice, or to support a business that trains future barbers, book at Mr Mustache Barbershop & Barber Academy. Phone: 604-477-4477.
