Golden Blade Barbershop

IN THE BEGINNING

William Raad, Golden Blade’s founder, was born and raised in Lebanon within a small village called Baalchmay. When Will turned 16 years old he started working at a small barbershop in the village and that is where he discovered his true passion.

After a year working at the barbershop, he decided to further his education and enrolled in hairdressing where he learned all about the industry and the techniques which he still uses to this day. Before making his way to Canada at the age of 20, he travelled to Kuwait and worked at a customization wig shop for 3 years. All these things showed that he was dedicated and focused on making this is life long profession.

We believe people go to barbershops to receive a specific look. People go to Golden Blade Barbershop to look and feel a certain way.

From cutting and styling hair to beard maintenance and hot lather neck shaves, you can always count on outstanding service where customer satisfaction is our top priority. Affordable prices during harder times help my clients feel that confidence and fresh look with money left in the wallet.

WILL’S JOURNEY

Once Will was settled in Calgary he found work at a local barbershop. His dream of owing his own shop one day meant he needed to work long and hard, fine tune his craft and save money. It was important to him that his customers left confident and feeling better than they walked in and so his drive to provide excellent customer service thrived.

After several years passed Will had saved enough money and started scouting to find a location for his shop. When a space went up for lease in the southwest community of Woodbine he knew it was perfect. All his hard work had paid off and Will could finally see his dream coming to life and Golden Blade was born.

Golden Blade is a family run business and has started building up a positive and energetic response within the community. The years of learning and dedication towards his profession paid off and Will was finally able to bring his vision to life. He continues to help people to look their very best before they leave his chair. Seeing a client transformed and confident after a service is a barbers greatest achievement.
