"Hidden down a quiet industrial road in Vancouver, where garbage trucks are more common than minivans, is a barbershop like no other.

Marked only by a small wooden sign hung on a nondescript gated door, and accessible only through a winding corridor of empty studio spaces, Big Bro's Barbershop in Vancouver, British Columbia, isn't just for haircuts. A veritable style emporium, it provides warm-towel shaves, tattoos, makeup consultations, nail art, shoe shining and free clothing.

It also offers harm-reduction products, discounted gender-affirming garments and advice and guidance from the shop owner and his staff, who all identify as queer or otherwise."
