Old Town's First Barber Shops

By Bruce Bell

In 1802, a Mr. Thomas Seaton Peacock announced that as soon as he could get away from his regimental duties by the end of the year he means to settle in York and open a Ladies and Gentlemen’s Hairdresser establishment on George Street.

Not to be outdone the following year in 1803 a Mssr Rock opened a hairstyling and wig powering premises on Ontario Street with ads proclaiming “Monsieur Rock direct from London will look after all your hair and wig needs”. 

By 1805 in a town of only 500 people we now had 4 barbers in time when a hairstylist was just as important as a butcher.

In colonial times a hairstylist looked after men and women with no discrimination as both sexes would often drop off their wigs to be ‘fixed’.

In an era when diseases like rubella or yellow fever robbed most of their hair, wigs were much a part of daily dress as pants or shawls.

In fact our first mayor William Lyon Mackenzie (1834) lost all his hair as a youth and often sported a bright red wig.
