Fantastic experience: 10/10 service and atmosphere. Keenen Anderson cut my hair and the person is a magician with a pair of scissors. Great conversationalist as well! Mr. Anderson has immense knowledge about hair. Trust what he recommends!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I checked in, the experience was unreal. Grabbed a beer while waiting and the ambiance was spot-on relaxed, cool, and welcoming with top-tier service. Patrick took the time to actually educate me, talk through what would work best, and absolutely nailed the cut. Hands down the best haircut I’ve ever had. To top it off, they sent me out with a gift and a coffee to go. Attention to detail like that is rare. Amazing vibe, amazing people, and an experience I’ll 100% be back for.

Looking forward to your next visit.

Carlos Hillman Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: As someone with curly, thick hair, I really appreciated the attention to detail. They took the time to understand how my hair naturally sits and tailored the cut accordingly, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all style. The result was a cut that’s easy to manage, well-shaped, and actually works with my curls. Highly recommend for anyone with textured hair who wants a barber that knows what they’re doing.

Fantastic experience: I stumbled across Johnny’s Barber & Shop while walking down 1st SW and decided to check it out—and I’m so glad I did… The shop was clean, stylish, and welcoming, but what really stood out was Maddy, who greeted me with a warm smile and made the whole experience exceptional… She was professional, friendly, and made me feel genuinely taken care of… From the relaxing shampoo and head massage to the personalized haircut (which turned out great), everything was done with care and attention to detail… Unlike other places where I was just told to leave my name and wait, Maddy got me looked after right away and made the entire visit feel personalized and comfortable… I was even offered a product discount for my next visit, a thoughtful touch you don’t see often… Maddy is a true pro and an absolute gem… I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend asking for her when you visit!

Dean Milligan Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this place enough. The shop has such a chilled vibe, and you can grab a coffee or a drink while you wait or during your cut. Eric is amazing! Easily one of the best barbers I’ve ever been to. He actually listens, asks the right questions, and gives solid advice before he starts. The cut always turns out exactly how you want it, or better. On top of that, his customer service is top class and he makes the whole experience relaxed and easy. His skill and eye for detail are next level, and you can tell he genuinely cares about every cut. It never feels like “just a haircut.” If you’re looking for a barber with serious talent who makes you feel right at home, Eric’s your guy.

Alysha Rawji Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I tagged along with my husband thinking I’d just be sitting there scrolling on my phone, but wow — what a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was chill, they offered me a coffee like I was the one getting a haircut. The barbers were super friendly and didn’t make me feel out of place at all. It was like a cozy hangout spot, but with scissors and beard oil. Watching my husband get the royal treatment — hot towel, precise fade, beard trim — honestly made me want to book a scalp massage for myself. Shoutout to Keenan. Great dude!!

Marco Peña Published on Google 10 months ago

Joaquin Pulido Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Francis is such an amazing barber, I went from a very long hair to a short one. First time on 10 that I had hair this short and it was a big change for me. Francis took all of that into consideration and gave me, without a doubt, the best experience that I had in a barbershop. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s expensive but you get what you paid for.

Albert Alviz Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Visited this place twice and they just never missed. Francis has done my hair twice and I kid you not, he knows what he's doing. Let me quote him, "This place is not for everybody, but it's for anyone who wants an experience." And an amazing experience you will definitely get! Guys are nice, you get free drinks and a complimentary clean up after 3 weeks. If you wanna do your hair right, this is definitely a great place to visit.

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Johnny’s Barber Shop – Elite Vibes, Legendary Service Just landed in Calgary and our concierge at the Fairmont recommended Johnny’s Barber Shop—whoever that concierge is deserves a raise because this place is next-level amazing. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was polished, modern, and effortlessly cool. Forget your grandad’s barbershop—this is upscale meets minimalist chic, with floor-to-ceiling windows, curated lighting, and a laid-back yet elevated energy. The music was on point—think exclusive Miami poolside lounge playing chill, stylish tunes that just set the perfect tone. But what really stood out? The friendliness of the staff. Like, genuinely the most welcoming and warm group I’ve ever encountered in any barbershop—anywhere. It felt like walking into a place that’s happy to have you, not just cut your hair. And yes—they have a full bar AND café inside. With zero-proof options! Finally, a spot that gets it. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Johnny’s is a must-visit. 5 stars. Easy. Would give more if I could.

Carlos Antonio Peña Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Adam is that guy. He's been cutting my hair for years, and his talent and attention to detail are incredible. I always look forward to my appointments and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch haircut and a great experience.

Fantastic experience: Came in for a cut with Cole and had a great experience. Cole is a great barber and a very kind, genuine person. Like all good barbers, he was very receptive to my preferences about my hair and was very open to suggestions and feedback. He also had helpful suggestions regarding the cut and styling tips. The facility itself is also very very nice and being able to sip on an espresso from their espresso bar while in the chair was a top-tier experience - just make sure to cover the top of your cup when the hairs start flying haha.

Juush Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Always feel taken care of. Everyone working creates an amazing atmosphere. Shout out to Linden and Eric. ALL of the staff are top tier and make you feel like family. If you’re not in for a cut, you should probably be having a beer.

Fantastic experience: A perfect experience. Everything about this place was truly astounding, from the atmosphere to the camaraderie. Jory especially went above and beyond my expectations. Usually somethings always off about the people in different establishments whether it’s poor customer service or subpar drinks. This place however is the opposite. If you question yourself about going to this establishment. Do yourself a favour and get a drink by Jory. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I quite enjoy the atmosphere here—it's polished yet laid-back, creating an inviting and approachable vibe. My barber Adam has an incredible ability to connect on a personal level, which helps me push the boundaries of both my personal and professional style. As someone with Afro-textured hair, only a handful of shops in the city can cut my hair and do justice. But I can confidently say when I’m with Adam, I’m in the best chair for a cut in Calgary. Trust me.

Struan Dow Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Best barbers in town hands down! I’ve probably had the same haircut since I was 15 but Adam helped me with a new style to change things up and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Always a treat getting my haircut there. Great local hair products too

Fantastic experience: Francis and the whole team at Johnny's Barber shop is amazing. I came here cause a friend told me about them and I needed to find a new barber, because the old shop and my old hair cut just wasnt cutting it anymore. Francis hooked me up and I couldnt be happier with the way the cut turned out and the incredible service I always recieve. I highly highly recommend checking them out.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting my hair cut by Adam for over five years now, and I can confidently say he’s the best barber out there. His attention to detail, consistency, and skill are second to none. No matter what style I’m going for, he nails it every time. Beyond that, he’s a great guy—friendly, professional, and always makes the experience enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-tier barber who truly cares about his craft, Adam is the one to see. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Linden is truly exceptional! Every time, he ensures I walk out feeling my absolute best. He’s not only skilled but also incredibly easy to chat with, making each visit enjoyable. And, as a bonus, he crafts an amazing coffee to sip on while you wait! His haircuts always earn me compliments. Keep doing your thing, Linden—you’re a true magician!

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Linden is hands down the best barber I’ve ever had. His attention to detail, precision, and skill are unmatched. He takes the time to understand exactly what you want and delivers a perfect cut every time. The experience at Johnnys Barbershop is top-tier—great atmosphere, high-end service, and top-quality products—but Linden truly takes it to the next level. If you’re looking for a barber who’s not only talented but also personable and professional, look no further. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Barber Experience with Eric! I’ve never been someone who enjoyed getting a haircut, but that all changed after I started seeing Eric. Eric’s attention to detail and friendly demeanour made the whole experience enjoyable. Not only does he listen to exactly what I want, but he also offers great suggestions based on my hair type and style preferences. I’ve been consistently impressed with the quality of the cuts, and I’m always getting compliments on how great my hair looks! It's obvious that Eric takes pride in his work, and it really shows. I actually look forward to my haircuts now, something I never thought I’d say. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your hair and how you feel walking out of the shop.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Keenen for a while now and he always does a great job. He does have poor taste in football teams, but makes up for it with good conversation. The shop has a cool vibe and I would 100% recommend stopping by.

Daniel Brennan Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Johnny’s is far and beyond the best hair cut you’ll have the honour of receiving in life. I am usually a man that is quite hesitant to cut his hair, the staff and environment put me at ease immediately. I would highly recommend, especially getting a fresh cut from Eric. I’ll be seeing him consistently in the future and am for the first time in life looking forward to my hair cuts.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Francis at Johnny's for over a year, and he consistently crafts excellent cuts. He has a strong understanding of how to layer and shape your hair in a way that complements your face and head shape, which elevates your hairstyle to the next level. On top of his expertise, Francis is very receptive to feedback and will take the time to work with you to get your hair the way you want it to look. Johnny's delivers a barber experience like no other, they take the time to build a relationship with you and create an environment of community. If you're on the fence, there's no reason not to go to Johnny's.

Fantastic experience: This is how my trip’s to the barber shop would go before I came here: I would hate how my hair looks so I go to the nearest, cheapest barber to get a cut and I hope the appointment goes by quickly so I don’t need to waste more time than necessary. I spend 40 dollars and always walk away disappointed but at least I don’t look as bad I used to. This is not how my experience was at Johnny’s! At Johnny’s, I actually want to spend as much time as possible cutting my hair! It is such a pleasant, relaxing experience and the staff is so attentive they make you feel like you’re right at home talking to a good buddy. I walk away more than satisfied with my hair and already wanting to come back the next time for the experience. I’m convinced this is the best shop in Calgary. Huge shoutout to Adam, amazing barber.

Gabriel Peredo Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Used to not really go to any barber because I was never sure if I would like the haircut, but Eric here is amazing! Been goin to him for months now and he always makes me comfortable and happy with my hair. He really knows what he’s doing, and he does make sure you don’t only get what you want, but also whats best.

Joshua Hart Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Francis gave me the best barber shop experience I have ever had. He makes you feel confident, and instills trust in his abilities, and man... his ability to cut hair is otherworldly. By far one of the best haircuts I've ever had! Thanks Francis, Ill be back soon!

Justin Hui Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best barber shop in Calgary and Francis is undoubtedly the best barber I’ve ever had. Service is amazing from start to finish. They even have espresso machines and can make coffee for you. Francis understands how to cut many different types of hair and hairstyles while also being a great person to talk to. The vibe of the place is immaculate and everyone working there is nice. If you’re looking for a barber shop, this is the place to be

Fantastic experience: Johnny’s Barber shop has been my goto barber shop for half a year now. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Ask for Mael when you book an appointment and you won’t be disappointed! Super skilled and always makes sure you leave with a great haircut!

Christian Paul Miguel Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Johnny’s Barber and Shop, thanks to Adam. He did an incredible job with my haircut, paying attention to every detail and making sure it was exactly what I wanted. His skills and precision really stood out, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. What sets this shop apart, though, is the holistic experience they provide. It’s not just about the haircut—it’s about the connection. Adam took the time to have a genuine conversation, creating a sense of camaraderie that made the experience feel personal and enjoyable. The ambiance of the shop adds to the overall vibe. It’s clean, welcoming, and has a cool, modern aesthetic that instantly makes you feel at ease. From the friendly staff that literally takes care of your stuffs to offering you a complimentary drink, everything about Johnny’s Barber and Shop feels thoughtfully curated to make clients feel comfortable. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for not only a sharp haircut but also a great overall experience. Big thanks to Adam and the team for their excellent work and great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service every time I am there, Patrick has been my go to barber for over two years now and he has not let me down. Having straight hair that sticks out, Pat was able to find a hairstyle that worked best for my hair.

Ryan Martin Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Johnny’s does a fantastic job of making customers feel welcome and care for. You can tell the staff are passionate about hair and love doing what they do. Stephen always does a fantastic job, I let him work his magic and I’ve never been dissatisfied.

K. Khamson Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Shoutout to my boy Linden, the barber who just gets it. He’s one of the rare few who truly understands what I want in a haircut every single time. My guy always sets me straight—no questions, no stress, just precision and style. He used to work over at 11th Ave, but now he’s moved to 1st Street. If you’re looking for a fresh cut that’ll have you feeling brand new, hit him up. Trust me, Linden’s the real deal. Don’t sleep on him!

Christian Davies Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Johnny’s on 1st is the best barbershop. Atmosphere, people, and service are amazing. I see Patrick for my hair. He always makes me look good and makes the best haircut and hair product suggestions. I always recommend him to friends.

Brad Welk Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Despite never seeing Star Wars, Linden knows his way around a haircut. I've been going to Linden for about a year now and have always had a great experience. There's great vibes and the little extras like a fresh americano are always nice touch. I would definitely recommend Johnny's and Linden specifically to anyone looking for a new spot downtown.

Isaac Henderson Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time checking out this location and I have to say its a definite must! My barber Linden always takes good care of me; very knowledgeable, professional, kind and my hair is always looking clean when leaving. I highly recommend checking this place out along with recommending Linden if you want a nice fresh cut. Had a glass of wine while getting the cut which is always nice!
