The Art of a Refined Beard
Why grooming is more than maintenance
For many men today, a beard is more than facial hair. It has become a marker of style, presence, and confidence. But keeping a beard well-shaped takes more than patience, it requires consistent care.
Sharp lines, regular trims, and the use of oils and balms are among the steps barbers say are essential to maintaining a healthy and refined look. Without them, what begins as style can quickly slip into neglect.
At Johnny’s Barbershop, located in the heart of the city, grooming is approached with a more deliberate touch. Barbers describe the process as an art form, one that goes beyond simple upkeep. Each service is tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on creating a look that feels natural and effortless.
The trend, barbers note, reflects a growing interest among men in self-care and grooming routines. Guests say they leave with not only a sharper appearance, but also with a sense of confidence that follows them outside the shop. At Johnny’s, a beard isn’t just grown, it’s crafted.

Dear Johnny,
I need some advice. My beard looks like a tumbleweed. What should I do?
Johnny: “Water it daily. Or better yet, come in for a trim.

First impressions matter
One of our valued Johnnys guests shared:
“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.”
Meet Johnny’s Local Legend
If you’ve been around Johnny’s Barber + Shop long enough, you probably know Carl. He’s more than a guest, he’s part of the fabric here.
Just last month, Carl came through the door and was greeted with the full Johnny’s experience: a wash, a tea, plenty of laughs, and a sharp cut from our very own Maddy Hawkins.
But Carl doesn’t just get a haircut, he brings the spirit of Johnny’s wherever he goes. Known for showing up in more
outfits than most people wear in a week (sometimes in a single day), and for handing out Johnny’s business cards like a true member,
Carl is what we like to call a local hero. For us, grooming isn’t just about looking sharp, it’s about connection, stories, and the people who make this place what it is.
Carl, if you’re reading this, thanks for being part of the Johnny's family. And as always, We’ll talk to you soon”.
Barber Highlight
“Taylor has been cutting my hair for about three years. He was originally at the 1st street location and I followed him over to the 11th ave location - get a guy you can trust…don’t let go I say. Caught him back home on his first day back at this shop for a cut and can say it has a
great vibe. Lots of space and just good character. Taylor has amazing attention to detail and does a great job recommending cut variations if you get bored and want something fresh and fun. Always enjoy our chats.”
“Attention to detail”

From our Johnny’s Community
“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 latte 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 Keenen. Great dude!!” -1st Street Guests
“This will be my forever barber shop for as long as I live in Calgary. My first impression when walking in was simply "damn this place is nice". You walk in and are instantly greeted by a warm and pleasant atmosphere, offered beverages if needed, and are taken care of start to finish. My go-to barber at this location is Mark, and I can't stress enough how talented this guy is.
His attention to detail is unlike any other barber I've had before. He will help educate you on your hair type, what styles suit your head shape, and will find THE BEST products possible to suit the style you're going for so you always leave feeling confident and satisfied.”
