Barber Culture

Expérience fantastique: If you’re looking for the best cut in Calgary this is the shop to go to. I’ve been going to James for the last 10 years and have never had a bad experience. The shop has a great atmosphere and is always very welcoming. Highly recommend Barber Culture.

Expérience fantastique: Nice place , they gave me a fire cut

Expérience fantastique: Started going to Barber Culture as I followed my barber, Cory, here and let me say, I love this culture! Cory continues to dazzle and his focus on enhancing his craft is superb! I love my precise cuts and the care that goes into each of ‘em! Shop is also awesome and the atmosphere cool and relaxed! Looking for a good conversation while getting the perfect fade? Cory at Barber Culture is your stop P.S. I am unstoppable with this new fade! Also, love how the owner invests in his team members. Supporting them in being awesome at what they do. Great place ❤️

Expérience fantastique: Great experience with a great barber! 5 stars! Have to come back here!

Expérience négative: Went in for a trim (my first visit in a long time). It took about 5 minutes to get my short hair trimmed. Not the best trim I've had and not the worst. I was shocked when I got to the till. $57 for a 5 minute trim. My eyebrows are now perma-scrunched with perplexion. $57 ???!!!!!!! Not worth a dime over $25. Edit: Re: Owner's response. The standard price for a trim is around $25 to $30. I am now not only upset about the experience I had, but now I am mad about your response. I will now share this experience outside of google reviews not only regarding your service and pricing, but I will also be sharing your level of arrogance towards the issue. There was a time when the customer was always right. There was a time when businesses used to apologize when a customer had a negative experience. We now live in a time of arrogant price gouging businesses. We wonder why we are experiencing elevated inflation in our world. Look no further than Barber Culture for the reasons for these.

Expérience fantastique: Sam is the best barber around—always super skilled and consistent (best tapered). I also got braids done by Lacy, and they were hands down the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend both of them!

Expérience fantastique: Geovanni never misses. If you’re debating which barber to go with, he’s the obvious choice. Super cool guy and seriously talented. He can basically read your mind when it comes to the cut you want.

Expérience fantastique: Lacy always outdoes herself with the beard trims, they get better every time I go.

Expérience fantastique: It's great there. Just off of 17th. Easy access, lots of parking and the team there were great

Expérience négative: Overall, for the same price you could get much better quality of work someplace else. The bottom beard trim was not even, and the top trim line was curved instead of straight as requested. The cut itself is good, but odd and not very professional comments by the barber. Overall not satisfied and won’t be coming again unfortunately

Expérience négative: Good atmosphere in here but unfortunately it wasn’t matched with a good beard trim. Quick and rushed, I was in an out in 15 minutes and face is on fire, multiple little nicks all over my neck. Won’t be coming again.

Expérience fantastique: Had a wet shave done by Cory. Very happy with the results. Kept my goatee and shaped it perfectly.

Expérience fantastique: Great vibe..friendly staff. Cory made me feel welcome and was a wizard with his str8 edge shave.

Expérience négative: Atmosphere is great I love it but , had a bad experience last night . Not satisfied with my transformation. I showed the picture to the guy but he is not even closed by that picture I showed . almost destroyed my back & side shades and hair lengths Wouldn’t go there again . Also I mentioned to the guy that you cut so much extra on the sides and the back but he still charge 57.70$ for this shitty hair cut . Never ever have that kind of experience before and never paid 60$ for haircut .

Expérience fantastique: Being female with long hair, and I mean to my waist, when I would walk into a barber shop for a #2 buzz, most barbers look at me like I am joking. However, Cory (Coco) from Barber Culture never questions my request. He just says, “sweet” lets do it!

Expérience fantastique: Super amazing place and great service. Very skilled staff.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been coming here for years. My previous barber Alex no longer works here but I had Angelo cut my hair and I will be coming back, this shop takes the time to get the right haircut for you and makes sure it is cut perfectly. Thank you.

Expérience fantastique: Sam gave me a great cut, will definitely return here in the future. Great atmosphere as well

Expérience fantastique: Great barber shop, positive attitudes through out the whole business. The music is always good, they take their time to make sure you get the perfect cut. Highly recommend this barber shop for your next cut. Shoutout to the owners for making it a cool place.

Expérience fantastique: First time I have gotten my hair cut by Sam. The other reviews are right. His attention to detail and dedication to his craft inspire me to become a better man.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been getting my haircuts at Barber Culture and recently sat with Cody P., Alex F., and Geovanni V. All of them have done a great job - clean haircuts, attention to detail, and solid service every time. The shop has a good vibe and I’ve had a consistently good experience so far. Highly recommend checking them out.

Expérience positive: Quick, efficient and they've always done a great job. The online booking app is easy and convenient. Been going for about a year now and love it. Add bonus is that it's just down th street from me.

Expérience négative: Over-priced. Jose doesn’t listen to any of the instructions you provide for the cut, just does what he wants. Encountered this several times. While also being very rude. Would never go again, and hope others don’t either. It seems some people enjoy their experiences which is great but, I will be staying very far away

Expérience fantastique: Sam F has the best fade in Calgary. Been seeing him for months now, only person I’ll let cut my hair!!

Expérience fantastique: You won’t catch me at another shop after finding Sam at barber culture. The atmosphere is always great at the shop and Sam always takes his time and makes sure you leave with the perfect hair and beard every time
