where to get a decent haircut

[stevescivic]

where in calgary is there a really good place (with reasonable pricing) to cut guy's hair?

I'm looking for a change in hairstyle but there just doesn't seem to be any hairstylists that can create a different looking haircut that looks good on me.

i want someone that can see a new style and cut it properly.

thanks!

[AllGoNoShow]

Where do you live?

[nos_efx]

Dood don't go to Chinatown..... STAY AWAY FROM CHINATOWN....

"could you take a little bit off the top? Just a little"

*BZZ BZZ* "Ooops Sorry, how about we just shave it all down?"

:eek::guns: :guns:

[Cruz]

In the Beddington mall, there's a family run barber shop. Ask for Tarek. Great price, great service, and the guy knows how to work scissors like few others I've seen.

[ogpog]

Zellers.

[2.2vtec]

If your more after a good price head to a place called Harmony. Its behind the macs that is infront of churchill highschool. Another place that is very good is Head Scapes in Marda loop.

[WWJAI]

Chinatown isn't all that bad. There's a place in Chinatown that cuts hair the best imo. Its in the City Plaza and its called TOPS. Its around $20 for a haircut which includes shampoo before and after your haircut and styling. Worth it in my opinion if you care about how well your haircut looks like.

[accord885]

Ok what about a place with the hottest women?

[Hydr0nik]

Jerome on 17th ave in between 1st and 2nd is my favorite lots of hot chicks and its about 30-40 bucks...
Chrome isnt bad either but I prefer Jerome..

[eb0i]

Sounds good. walking distance to my place too!

[googe]

40 bucks for a guys haircut? ouch

[AllGoNoShow]

If your in the NW, Angie @ Panach in Hawkwood does great cuts, I forget the price of adults hair cut but its definatly worth it.

[Cowtown_Raider]

Kim at K&J Hair designs on the corner of 17th Ave and 14th St in the SW does great work for about $25.

229-2901

[frozenrice]

MVP Hair for Men (http://www.mvphairformen.com/)

I like it because it's not outrageously expensive and I don't feel like a homo going to the beauty salon.

they also sell American Crew dry wax (form hold) EXCELLENT STUFF.

whoa that place looks awesome...are the haircuts any good and is there anyone in particular that you can reccomend?

[tictactoe2004]

go see Yung at first choice in willow park village... and if your thinking "first choice.. wtf" dont worry.. this guy should not be working there, he should be at some $100 place...

every time I go and see him person after person comes in asking for him.. all the other stylists just sit around and do nothing and he has this big line... its funny

[cbinteg]

I like Diva hair salons but they're pretty pricey.
I also don't mind Hair city in Chinatown.

:werd:

I thought I was the only one, he is not much of a talker but he cuts hair like a salon artist.

[Lo)2enz0]

i have a friend who works at diva. i still don't justify the $40 though

angles has hot girls to, well the one in tuscany does and like i mentioned diva does as well

i have always had the problem with them cutting my hair to short and i end up looking 16 again

[88CRX]

I go to Esteem hair design in Chaparel.... and the same lady has been cutting my hair for 15 years atleast. She cut it in Regina when i lived there and a couple months after we moved to Calgary so did she, bumped into her and found out she was cutting hair just across the street.

I'm happy with my cuts. The girl that I see is named Jessica (17th Ave location). I just started going there (since this spring).

[stevescivic]

does anyone here know the phone number for Panach's salon (maybe its now called e-salons) located in Hawkwood?

I'm trying to get a hold of angie but I can't even find the # to the place that she works at.

Thanks

[hampstor]

I go to rahim's barber - its on the back side of Deerfoot Mall. Rahim has been cutting my hair for like 6 yrs (he used to be at mr. charanek's in sunridge)

[5hift]

bumping this thread ...

went to get a haircut from the same lady i've been going to for years to see she was closed down.

Is it possible to find a decent haircut for under $30 in Calgary? I've been reading through some of these suggestions and it seems everyone either goes really cheap or really expensive.

I remember going to Angles a while back and it was ridiculously overpriced, does your cost vary between hairdressers there because I hear different prices from different people.

[STi403]

ask for lisa @ angels across from sundridge mall shes the best.

[Kona9]

bah!!! Go to Influence on 17th ave SW.

Those girls will take care of you for sure!!!

[250and3]

+1 for MVP hair for men.
Lubna is really hot and she cuts great. I think they just hired a couple of new girls, but I can't rate them yet on the hotness or thier scissor skillz.
Need an appointment though, don't just drop in or you will be sent away, they are always busy.

Chrome hair on 17th ave next to Classic Jacks.

great place, great peeps, good prices and if your looking for a change thats the place to go!

good luck:)

[GQBalla]

why stay away from china town?

my best hair cut is the person that ive been goin to for like 10 years -

her name is sheryl at xpressions.

you tell her exactly what you want - and she does it

[l/l/rX]

im not a big fan of hair cuts, i got no imagination as to how id want my hair cut...my friend works at Aveda hair salon on 8th ave, she cuts my hair, i just tell her to freestyle it. however the hell she wants to cut it. haha it usually turns out pretty decent.

[A790]

Try Hedkandi downtown.

[btown]

ask the youtube guy...bitches lvoe his new hair cut haha :rofl:

[Splooge]

man i need a haircut bad....i'm on 17th ave. and 11th st. SW. what places you guys recommened??

k so my possibilities are Chrome, Influence, and Kirei. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

I'm always chicken shit to try new hair places.

[kerry]

Chrome fucking blows. Don't go there.

Red Bloom apparently has some good stylists. I've never got my hair cut there but a friend of mine worked there.

If you were in Edmonton I'd suggest Rain in West Ed. Ask for Laura. That goes for all beyonders in Edmonton!

[deee_wreck]

bumping this thread...


need some insight to which of the ones that were recommended can do Asian Mens Hair. I'm downtown on 17th Ave and 8th St

Chinatown for me is a coin toss, not risking it.

Or does anyone know where i can buy one of those Japanese Hair style books? That way i have something to show them to follow.


Thanks in advance!

:hijack:

[van]

16th Avenue and 10th Street --- Krysalis

[anhsicun]

for asian hair i recomend angels downtown by chicago chop house i think thats the resturant name. ask for tomi, she been cutting hair in japan for like 15 yrs so she very familliar with japanese hiar style. u can also buy those japanese hair magazine at that one shop in orange across from dragon city.

i used to get my hair cut from raymond at hair city in chinatown. he does it very well and he takes courses in europe every summer (I heard). however, he takes FOREVER to get my hair cut, not to mention i'm paying parking while i'm doing this 2 hour mens cut

tried angles, tried 2 places on edmonton trail, didn't like them at all 'cause they could not replicate the haircut I had from the Espirit salon in HK (you guys should all try it, it's hair health and style 101 and you'd definitely appreciate the care and time their stylists take)

i now go to Xtreme-hair beside the new T&T supermarket in the NW. Her name's Ivy, her husband does a good job as well. $25+tips. you can tell her Franklin sent you. 403-890-9197. no one i've recommended to that place has complained to me

Thanks for the info, went by today and had a cut with Tomomi
she tells me her clientele is 90% asian.

Descent cut, but at $36.75 , will be trying a few more places before i settle on a stylist.

FYI for pics on asian styles I go to the following:

I'm gonna revive this thread.


Anyone know where I can get a decent Haircut AND a good Shave. All the main places like greatclips, first choice ect only do beard trims....I used to have a guy that did it but he's moved on and I dont know where.

Followed the thread and didn't see an address or contact info for this place in Panorama. Very interested. She have experience w/ asian hair? (ie: thick / pointy)

I went to him for a few years. He'd be great if he'd pay attention to you when your cutting your hair and not barking at his other clients....That and everytime you go he jacks the price up by 5-10 bucks by the time I stopped going it was like 50 buck hair cuts and 120 highlights... but his highlights were amazing always came out silvery blueish white

This is a convenient thread for me, I am getting my hair cut today! I usually go to the total look in Market Mall because it's never busy and I hate to wait, but the guy there is really hit or miss... i liked the last cut I got from him, but a lot of them before that were utter crap and he's not to keen on doing highlights even when he's not busy...

[shakalaka]

I am in the SW near Bow Trail and Sarcee, can anyone recommend any places near here?

Also I am looking to change my hairstyle, can anyone recommend any good websites with lots of pictures with different kinds of styles and info?

Thanks

Depending on what you change to, I go to Kam's on 17th ave and 45th street (right by the AMA in the strip mall). If you want a $20 no-frills no foo-foo haircut, that's the place. I've been going to him and his dad for most my life.

[gqmw]

I need to revive this thread, does anyone know the name of the hair place beside Sushi Kai in Dragoncity?

From what I've heard they're pretty good but anybody have good experiences there? How well do they dye hair?

I never paid attention to the name and I need to give them a call to book an appointment. Thanks in advance.

Edit: It's called Shear Synergy for anyone that might be wondering. All of them are good, but people I know have had a good experience with Anita, the younger haircutter :D

Another bump from the dead,

Can you pm with contact info?

And to the guy who said he recommends Xtreme Hair in Harvest Hills, is Ivy the tomboy and the only guy there her husband? I would highly recommend AVOIDING the guy if possible, his haircuts are HORRENDOUS I have no idea how he even gets a job there. Never cuts the top evenly, just puts the scissors on top of your head and just cuts randomly and I'm not even exaggerating.
Unfortunately I've been stuck with him more times than not so I need a new place in the NW that's not too expensive!

[Nismorphed]

The Ginger Group, 217 10 Ave SW. Basically beside HiFi. Ask for Stacey. Does amazing job and is very sexy.

[speeed]

+1 for Angelo. He cuts at Glamour Secrets in Sunridge Mall (near sportchek). He's been cutting my hair for years. Tell him Eric sent you ;)

[swak]

I go to some barber in Northland mall...

Dont know the name of the place/barber, but its right beside Cora's.

.. and Cora's is so damn delicious, so it gives me a good excuse to get a good breakfast.

New people get charged the most. I pay $40-60 depending on how generous i feel. The cut/fade/shave is the greatest.

I went to him for 6 years haha. I'm not knocking his haircuts best in the city in my opinion but I was paying 80-100 dollars a haircut and at one haircut a week that was way too much.

I get a cut once a month and side trim/shave every two weeks. So it works out to around $80-100 every month, which in my opinion is worth it.

How is the barber there? I was thinking about dropping in there as it's really close, and I don't find much quality in the non-expensive salons in the area.

What's a cut cost?

If anyone is looking for a good cut and EXCELLENT scalp massage in Oakwood, Cedarbrae, Palliser area, PM me for info. (No it's not me, it's my in-law)

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but does anyone have any contact info for Kim in Panorama? Does she still cut hair out of her basement? Any pms would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!

[beyond_ban]

For guys, go to Kurt at La Bella hair salon right beside senores pizza. Gives a solid cut and for $20 + tip it's a good deal.

[ExtraSlow]

Been to the Vista Barbershop in Vista Landing on 36th street NE a couple of times. Open on Sunday, which is a big draw for me, and mens haircut is $14. Pretty decent cut too, definetly a step up from the First Choice/SuperCuts type of place.
Only drawback is that it's pretty ethnic, and I can't understand a fucking word those dudes say. No idea what heritage they are, and I guess I don't care as long as they keep doing a good job.

[legendboy]

I have been having my hair cut by a Cindy for the last 9 years. She was in Deerfoot mall for the longest time, and has moved to Inspiration Hair Design in the stripmall by Pho Thanh by the canadian tire in beddington

All you cheap dudes, quick update. I've been to this place a few more times, and I'm hooked. I may be the only honky in the place, but the cut is great, and the price can't be beat.

[nagooro]

There is a fairly new barbershop by the country hills movie theatre. (Behind it in the plaza with the futureshop, staples, eb games). Been there twice now, pretty happy with the cuts, and a hot shave is included with the cut.
Mens cut is $21 I believe.

Hairmix in North Hill Mall. I drop by whenever I'm in town. $24 + tax + tip.

She's been cutting hair for a few years, but Hedkandi requires all its new stylists to take a 6 month apprenticeship with them (or however she explains it... lol). She's been cutting my hair since 2008, same with most of my friends.

You don't need pics or anything. Just show up to Hedkandi when your appointment is and she'll take care of you. PM me if you're interested.

[X_EVO_X]

go see Dennis at deerfoot mall.. hes a beyond member, and we talk about his sick s14 240 , best hair cut chat ever. He is a really good guy and takes me in right away even with no appointment. It called just your style (295-0057)
