Cannibale

1
813 1 Avenue NE, Calgary AB T2E 0C2

This barbershop shares its space with a cool neighbourhood cocktail bar in Bridgeland. With a large, street-facing window, this one-man show features a white-tiled room and bright-red chair. Get a cut, buzz, beard trim or shave and don’t leave without stopping at the bar or patio (in summer) for a drink and a deliciously meaty, cheesy charcuterie board.

London Barbers

2
100-1122 4 St Sw, Calgary AB T2R 1M1

Walk in or book an appointment at any of this old school barbershop’s three inner-city locations: in the Beltline, Kensington or in Eighth Avenue Place downtown. Modern guys head here to keep their look fresh. The outfit’s barbers use traditional tools (try the a cut and classic straight-razor shave) for great results and an indulgent experience. Man-cave details like a hanging punching bag, flat screen TVs and arcade games keep you busy while you wait.

MVP Modern Barbers

6-34 Edgedale Dr NW, Calgary AB T3A 2R4

Each of MVP’s three Calgary locations in the city’s north end – Bridgeland, Edgemont and Kensington – features comfy, black-leather barber chairs with red accent walls and flat-screen TVs. Take a seat with a fresh coffee, pop or even a beer, and sign up for the Hall of Fame Haircut, which includes a consultation, hot towel, scalp massage and hair cut.

Best Of 7 Barbers

151-255 5 Ave SW, Calgary AB T2P 3G6

Treat yourself right at this cool, urban barbershop located downtown. Featuring exposed redbrick walls, customers have included Calgary’s mayor and famed Canadian comedian Rick Mercer. Walk in or book ahead to relax with the morning newspaper and a classic hot-towel shave and cut (long, short, buzz, Mohawk or fade) by one of the shop’s male or (mostly) female barbers. Be sure to check out the shop’s products, including a range of swanky straight razors.

Elveden Centre Mens Hairstyling

115-717 7 Ave SW, Calgary AB T2P 0Z3

Elveden House is a hidden gem of a place that’s been in business for nearly 60 years at the same location, and it’s the real deal when it comes to great service and quality cuts. Sit down and get your shoes shined at this downtown spot while one of two experienced barbers (one of whom is the owner) snips your hair old school – with scissors only, of course.

For The Male

6
3715 17 Ave SW, Calgary AB T3E 0C1

Book at this barbershop for a full range of services including straight-razor shaves, cuts, colouring and highlights. For the Male also offers private razor-shaving tutorials along with hair styling and product consultations, so you can maintain a solid grooming regime at home. Kids’ cuts and seniors’ pricing are also offered.

Chin Whiskey Shearing & Shaving Co

At both the original downtown location and its second shop in Bridgeland, Chin Whiskey brings it with classic techniques for a simple, quality cut. Eerie-cool framed vintage photos of well-groomed early 20th century ladies and gents adorn of the walls here. At the Bridgeland location, lay back in an original 1920s black-and-white Koken barber chair for a hot shave. Be sure to pick up your very own locally handmade leather Chin Whiskey Dopp Bag to store all your grooming tools.
