Barber near Hurontario: A Few Minutes North at Matheson

How close is the studio to the Hurontario neighbourhood?

Very close: the Hurontario neighbourhood's northern edge runs up to about Matheson Blvd and Bristol Rd, and the studio sits on Matheson Blvd W just beyond that line. It is not inside the neighbourhood, it is right above it, in our Heartland Town Centre studio.

The area itself stretches from Mavis Rd east to Hwy 403 and up from the 403, so the trip depends on which end you start from. From the streets around Bristol Rd it is a few minutes. From down by the 403 it is closer to ten at busy times.

The drive: straight up Hurontario, then along Matheson

Hurontario St is the spine of the neighbourhood, so most people just take it north. Pass Bristol Rd, reach the big Matheson Blvd intersection, and turn onto Matheson Blvd W. Stay on it past McLaughlin Rd and you are at 650 Matheson Blvd W, the Heartland building group that also holds Home Depot and Winners.

If you live on the western side closer to Mavis Rd, Mavis north to Matheson and then east along Matheson is usually quicker than cutting over to Hurontario. Park in Heartland's surface lots.

Landmarks you pass on the way

The corner of Hurontario and Matheson is easy to recognise even if you have never stopped there. It holds two school board head offices and a historic farm.

• Frank McKechnie Community Centre and Library at 310 Bristol Rd E, near the neighbourhood's northern end.
• The Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board head offices, both at Matheson Blvd along Hurontario.
• Britannia Farm, the historic farm operated by the Peel board, at Hurontario and Matheson.
• Iceland Mississauga, the ice arena in the same part of the city.

Coming by bus: the Hurontario routes that still run

Two MiWay routes run up Hurontario and stop at Matheson Blvd, and a third runs along Matheson itself. The Hazel McCallion LRT is still under construction, so ignore anything that says the Matheson stop is open.

From the Hurontario and Matheson stop, the studio is a walk west along Matheson toward McLaughlin. The 66 McLaughlin, which stops at McLaughlin and Matheson, lands you closer if it suits your street better.

A reason to go four minutes up the road

The short answer is the finish and the hours. Every visit includes a hot towel treatment, a hair wash and a head massage at no extra charge, and every cut ends with a razor lineup. We stay open until 9 PM on weekdays and weekends alike, so a cut after hockey practice at Iceland or a late shift still works.
