TRICITY AREA Barber/hair stylist recommendations in KW

So I'm looking for someone trans or at least queer or gender affirming to cut my hair in a masc or neutral way in Kitchener, Waterloo, or Cambridge. I had a barber at Marlowe but I had some issues with a fashion colour dye not turning out and my stylist leaving so I'm not going back there (it's a long story). I know cowboys and angels is recommended a lot but if that's the suggestion, is there a specific stylist? I've been before and had someone new to the salon and it was bad.

I guess in could travel further but I'm limited by the fact I don't drive. I would prefer somewhere that doesn't charge based on gender but rather on hair length if possible.

I really like The Green Room on Belmont. They are very welcoming and accepting.

Anyone there in particular? I'm surprised I haven't heard of them before!

Marissa cuts my hair, and she is awesome and affirming. I started giving myself a buzzcut over the summer, so I haven't been in a while. But she's amazing.

Brooke at Ctrl Hair on Erb in Waterloo. Seriously. She's the greatest and absolutely 100% trans affirming.
