Same stars, different scores. Why?
Score = (v / (v + m)) × R + (m / (v + m)) × C. Ottawa-area average: C = 4.756521739130434; m = 176. R is the recorded Google rating; v is the recorded review count. Confidence is v / (v + m), the rating’s weight in the score.

Questions
If all three are rated 5.0, why is Bijou’s first?
More reviews. Bijou’s Barbershop has 1,330, Kings Own Barbershop 959 and The Vault Barbershop 787. Each score blends the shop's rating with the 4.76 average, and more reviews means less of that blend.
How big are the gaps?
Small. Bijou’s leads Kings Own Barbershop by 0.01 points and The Vault Barbershop by 0.02. In practice, all three have perfect ratings over hundreds of reviews.
Why aren't First Choice Hair or Magicuts on the list?
Both are chains with 10 or more locations in Canada, which this list leaves out. SmartStyle, Sport Clips and Tommy Gun's Original Barbershop are excluded for the same reason.
