Good haircut salons for men

[Zeroflux APX]

I'm looking for a decent place to get a haircut for men, any recommendations? Under $40 if possible. I'm just looking for a decent barber who cuts medium-length hair well. I'm guessing the best barbers are in the downtown area?

[iLLlegal]

I've been going to tommy guns in chinook mall.. good price for the quality of hair cut I've been getting.

Gloss on 17th

[Euro_Trash]

Anywhere good right in the core?

There is a Tommy Guns by the upper food court in TD Square. $25 for a standard haircut I believe. You can also get a shave there if you want.

See Julie at Hedkandi Salon in Hotel Arts. She will take good care of you :)

[Qtec]

oh btw, i have 25% coupons off for gloss pm me if you want the discount., and they are really really good.

[Kona9]

Influence on 17th ave SW. Going on my 9th year with Wendy and her girls. Excellent service and atmosphere on top of a great cut.

[Nismo S13]

Hedkandi bankers hall, I see December and she's great for guys hair cuts, you also get a 2 week clean up included.

[ddduke]

+1 for influence. One of the best, if not the best salon in Calgary.

It's almost impossible getting a cut with Wendy as she's out of town about 70% of the time. But I'd recommend Jamie, great girl to deal with.

How much does it cost there?

[bubbley]

any stylists out there that are good with side part haircut aka shaved one one side and undercut shaved on the other?

Thanks

[chibwack]

How about one where they can find a haircut that suits me? I swear I'm cursed as after 25 years I've had maybe one haircut I've liked.

[swak]

^^ hahaha... You and me both.

[Phl0xed]

Need something close to McKenzie Towne! Any suggestions? New to the area and looking around. I know there's a few places right on High Street in MT, anyone had any experiences there before?

Thanks!

[Thomas Gabriel]

Yeah I like Hedkandi too. I swear it's too expensive but I can't bring myself to try anything else.

I go to Chatters on 130th and see Rebecca. She does a good job.

I had to find a new stylist after Julie and I broke up, which was too bad because Julie always did a good job :(

[Hallowed_point]

How about be a man and go to a barber?? :dunno:

Go check out Omar's on Elbow.

Sounds alot like my haircut but I ended up slicking it back. Showed Jamie at Influence what I was looking for and she took care of me.

Most barbers barely know how to cut hair besides a buzz cut or typical ceasar cut. You probably have an ugly haircut, that's really manly.

[turbotrip]

Zee @ Boulevard Hair Salon in the NW is the best barber I've been to, but also ridiculously expensive

Hey , if OP wants to look like Criss Angel's stunt double that's cool. I wouldn't paint all barber's with the same brush personally..I didn't suggest great clips lol.

Aman's Barber Shop.

Way the fuck in the SW (Willow Park Centre), which sucks for me, but I just found it when I was at the apprenticeship office so I stopped by. $22 I think for a cut IIRC. And they do straight razor shaves. Hard to find REAL barber shops like these. Only one I've found so far, and I try different places most of the time.

Really? I think most barber shops do that nowadays. At least in my experience anyways. I've been to 2 barbers here in calgary and three when I was living in edmonton, and they all offered the shave, and would also use the straight blade to touch up edges after your haircut. I think it's one of the things that separates a barber shop from stylist (besides the obvious reasons of course!)
I love barbers for the whole masculine aspect, but I'll be damned if any of them know how to cut my hair. I think I'll try a stylist next time just to see if if that helps.

Weird, I've that found most barbers DON'T offer a straight razor, with the exception of Omar's/the place Sentry mentioned. Going to a barber who doesn't offer a straight razor is kinda like going to a stripper that doesn't do lap dances if you ask me ;) :D

That's it lol. Missing the entire experience. I know london barber's on 4th st also does them.

[ALBERTA_IS]

+1 for Influence on 17ave. Been going here since I moved to Calgary 3 years ago. Highly recommend Courtney. She always does a great job! Great girls there!

I decided to go to Influence and I had a good experience (with Courtney). The price is a little steep ($37) but not too bad. Thanks for the recs! I may give Hedkandi a try once with the $20 first time coupon, but after that it's even pricier than Influence...

that's exactly how my hair is right now, undercut, slicked back and parted.

I like going to diva hair salon on 17th and 14 st. They serve a great cappuccino and great head massages. Love going there after work, helps to de-stress.

[genesis0403]

i normally get a haircut at a salon on 17th ave for $40. i went to a korean place next to bow bulgogi house and the lady did a pretty good job. plus it was $20 lol

[danno]

I go to razors edge in avenida. Been going for 6 years or so. Short waits and only $21 + tip a cut.

[natty54]

Just went to a new place that opened up right across the street from chinook mall. Its called TOC hair. In the same strip mall as the le chateau outlet.

http://tochair.ca/toc-hair-studio-akademy-services.php

Anyway I just walked in and was my luck there was a opening right away.

Saw a stylist named Anna (she was hot too!) mens cut included a wash, hot towel, scalp massage and style.

I also got some tea :P

Very relaxing and love my new cut

Normal price is $25 - but they have a opening promotion 15% off so $21.25 and with tip ended up giving $26

but even normal price inc tip for $30 is a great price for what you get

I will deff be going back

[bjstare]

I've been getting my hair cut at Renovations (Centre st and 10th? ave north)

I've been happy with it. I have medium length hair as well, and Shelley has done really well with it. I've had her change the style a couple times, and she gives me just what I want.

[Clever]

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet but Corbett's Rock and Roll Barbershop.

[muffzz]

crowfoot barber shop and brothez in forest lawn will give you the best cut, best fade, best anything you want for the best price. $20

I'm pretty sure tommy guns does straight shaves with hot towels and all. It was pretty relaxing when I got a shave done there

Razor's Edge in Aveneda Place just south of Anderson on McLeod Trail does straight razor shaves. Great place. I've been going there for about 7 years.

[vengie]

$25 clippers from wal mart and 5 mins of your time every 1.5 weeks... Shaved head ftw

[pjamma]

Brotherz Kutz on 17th ave

barbershop like the movie barbershop i think its Jamaican owned

[woodywoodford]

Jaime @ Influence on 17th. $35 for a mens cut I think, but worth every penny. She actually takes interest in finding something that works for you, compared to the barbers that just sit you down and "3 around, medium on top"

[xnvy]

I'm going to bump this.

I'm looking for a place under $30 (I have short hair so I don't want to spend too much), preferably close to the university but I'm willing to drive if it's worth it, and most importantly someone that can hopefully find a style that works on me as I have no luck with this. Any suggestions?

If you are still looking, I go to a place called "hairdoo's" on 3rd Street SW and 60th Ave. The lady I deal with is Kim, shes been cutting my hair for 8 years now (403) 926-1288. Before going to her I had a hard time finding somewhere that I liked. Price is $26.50

[xnvy]

Too late. I'll tell my friends looking for a cut to check your place out but I've fallen in love with MVP Men's Hair Salon and don't think I'll be switching any time soon.
