About Brock Street Barber Shop
Welcome to Brock Street Barber Shop, a place where timeless tradition meets modern style.
Inspired by the classic barber shops of the 1920s and 1950s, our shop was born out of a shared dream and
months of careful preparation by two passionate barbers, Marcos Dos Santos and
Shawn McLaughlin. Together, they bring a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere to the heart
of Tillsonburg.

Our Story
Marcos, originally from São Paulo, Brazil, has been in Canada since 1983.
Influenced by two uncles who were barbers, his passion for cutting hair began at an early age.
Even during his time in the army, Marcos found joy in cutting hair for friends, family, and fellow soldiers.
After his first visit to Tillsonburg, he fell in love with the town’s charm and decided to make it his home.
Shawn, born and raised in Tillsonburg, dove head first into barbering and quickly became one of the best barbers you’ll meet.
From mastering basic cuts to fades and everything in between, Shawn has perfected a wide range of styles, entirely self-taught.
His natural talent for working with both kids and adults ensures everyone feels at home in his chair.
Beyond barbering, Shawn is a passionate fan of English football and Formula 1 racing—topics
he’s always happy to chat about while delivering a fantastic haircut.
In 2015, Marcos and Shawn shared a vision of creating more than just a barber shop.
They wanted to establish a welcoming space where men could come not just for a haircut, but for a complete
experience—a comfortable place to relax, enjoy a coffee, and connect with the community.
Today, they are proud to operate a gay-owned and inclusive barbershop where everyone is welcome.
