Was in Calgary for work and badly needed a fade/cut. Booked easily through their website. Arrived…read more10mins before my booked time and they had me in right on time. Definitely a busy place though! If they didn't operate mainly through booked appointments, pretty sure they'd have long wait times. Loved this as my barbershop back in Vancouver can have 1.5-2hr waits. I'm always unsure of trying new barbers/shops. So many bad fades and cuts over the years. Felt pretty confident as soon as I walked in that I made a good choice with this place, and they didn't disappoint. Chris did my cut and did a great job. Friendly, took the proper amount of time (30-45min), and very clear about what he was doing. Great fade and cut. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Calgary. Thanks Chris and Barber Culture for what you're doing!

I've nothing to compare this experience as this was my first of this kind of service. I live in rural Wisconsin where you're lucky to find a consistent haircut. Forget about getting beard service. I was in Calgary, north of YYC and needed their services bad. I called the number and they fit me in 30 minutes later. This was on a Tuesday afternoon, probably not the busy time. Anyway, I will make sure to go back the next time I'm in YYC!

Sometimes, you have to return to the roots to truly appreciate tradition and craftsmanship. That…read moresaid, Elveden House is where men should go to experience the roots of a truly good haircut. In Calgary on business for a few days and in need of getting my hair tamed and refined, I checked out the reviews on Yelp and elsewhere before deciding on Elveden House. If you're looking for one of those shops where TV's, pool tables, and other distractions are part of the haircut "experience", this ain't it. If, however, you want an exceptionally good haircut delivered with grace and style by a traditional master of his craft, this is the place! Until I sat down in Joe's chair and was well into the haircut, I had forgotten how far we've come from the essence of barbering. I've had cuts at salons around the country, fad places with video games and attractive stylists, and other co-ed hair places but the folks at Elveden leave them all in the dust with the simplicity and pure skill they bring to cutting hair. I have friends and co-workers in NYC and elsewhere that routinely pay $100-$200 to get a cut this good. Mine was $25 cash. A true scissors man, Joe did an excellent job making even me look better and almost suave compared to when I came in. I almost wish I took a before pic just to show the difference! To top it off, the head and neck massage made me feel better in addition to looking better. Do yourself a favor and experience old school barbering at it's finest and Elveden. Just don't tell the hipsters or they'll mob this place and you'll never get in. :-)

Unfortunately, I wish my first (and only) experience had been better in line with all the other…read more5-star reviews. A mix-up (two customers with the same name and the same appointment time) meant that no one was sure who to serve when I arrived. Despite showing up early, my doppelgänger was already having his haircut and I was left standing around for a bit. However, this was no big deal and an honest mistake. Maybe Khee is the man to go to for a great cut? I wouldn't know since he was cutting the other client with my same name and one more client was "next in line," even though it was unclear whether he had actually made an appointment. Instead, my appointment was a rushed 20-min econo cut performed by a different Southeast Asian gentlemen. I didn't catch his name and the entire cut was conducted in absolute silence. The quality is on par with SuperCuts. The barber jabbed my head repeatedly with the comb and scissors and pulled on my hair while cutting. These are all signs of speed and inexperience over quality. It was frankly an uncomfortable cut and the results were shoddy and uneven. The only nice part was the 1.5 minutes the barber pretended to massage my neck and shoulders. For the not inexpensive price of $25 + tax & tip (note: cash only), there was no shampoo service, no hot towel and razor to the back of the neck--nothing that made the cut feel worth the price. Also there's a hilariously weird vacuum cleaner hose they use to suction the cut hairs off your head! The gentlemen working there all seem nice, but I won't be back.
