Reviews of Cultured Swine Barbershop (Barber Shop)

John Pawelchak

Taylor at Cultured Swine Barbershop gives a great haircut for a reasonable price. Very tiny shop which is part of the charm of the place, very clean and nicely decorated giving it a cool vibe. Overall a great experience and nice to find a barber that takes pride in the job they do. I get my hair cut every 2 to 3 weeks and its going to be at Cultured Swine from now on.

Beautiful cuts by Taylor and you feel so comfortable and cozy looking across at Market Square in downtown Victoria. Taylor was so professional and I felt like I had been a client for years on my first visit.

Lovely spending time with Taylor in her great little shop and getting a quality haircut to boot!

Where to start. First of all, this is the sickest barber shop, ever. Unofficially smallest in the world! Taylor is the most thoughtful, skilled barber I've ever had. I always leave the shop with a smile on my face and the sharpest cut. The newest addition to the shop is Hambone, a delightful rescue puppy who enjoys cuddling with you while you get your hair cut (only if you're comfortable with her!) Getting a trim here is a MUST!

The best haircut I ever had! Taylor is very professional, paid close attention to details and her salon is a great cool little place.

After a long time struggling to find a decent cut, I found Taylor at Cultured Swine while visiting Victoria. I saw her cool single chair stop and knew I had to visit her the next day, and it was the best choice of my trip. She took the time to talk out what I wanted and how we could start that from what I had. Amazing conversation, local tips, and great service. I can't recommend enough - I might need to fly out again in a month to come back.

Gave me the nicest freshest cut. Highly recommend

I love Cultured Swine! I am literally never going anywhere else to get a haircut because Taylor did such a wonderful job on it! Truly a charming shop and a wonderful experience! Thanks Taylor! -Griffin

Love my haircut. From chatting with Taylor, I learned she opened this business after being dissatisfied with the quantity-over-quality business models of other places she worked. I could tell she really takes pride in her work, and wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied with the result. I highly recommend this cute little shop!

Taylor was extremely professional, a brilliant conversationalist, and the price just can’t be beat. A quaint little barbershop in the heart of downtown Victoria, a must-go if you’re looking for a trim!

Reilly Enns

High quality cuts from a highly trained barber and she does it all with a smile. Great chatting with you, Taylor. Most people would say the location is more than enough of a reason to stop by for a cut if you haven’t already. Taylor has built a memorable little traditional barbershop in the tiny space she has. I found my new barber.

Excellent haircut, will use again!

Jacob Wideman

Absolutely wonderful experience. Was just visiting Victoria and needed a quick self care haircut. I have longer hair and debating between going to a barber and a salon is difficult. Taylor did an amazing job on my hair. Don't think I've had a better haircut. Hambone is just the cherry on top!

Graham Newmarch

I LOVE CULTURED SWINE BARBERSHOP! Super unique and welcoming for everyone. Taylor is an amazing barber! I will always go see her to get my undercut trimmed. Its awesome to get your haircut done in a single-chair space, especially now with Covid, or if a regular barbershop is too overwhelming or over stimulating!!! Thank you Taylor!!!!!

Gabe has been my barber for so long now, when they made the move to Cultured Swine I was SO HAPPY! The shop feels super safe and queer positive, and just has a really cool vibe. Gabe is a really talented barber with every style and shape of hair, and always makes me feel so comfortable and confident! 5 stars just ain't enough for this shop and this amazing barber. <3

Kate Loomer

Incredible hair cut. I looked very sharp for my brothers wedding. The space is perfect for our current covid era as its just the 2 of you in there. Queers, get your hair cut here. Its an intentionally safe space for Queers. There is no reason for a hair cut to be more expensive because of your gender identity.

James Towler

Not only is she (Tylor) professional, personable and fun to talk with... She more importantly; is the best all around barber I have found here in Victoria. Stongly recommended!

Trenton Horsley

Taylor is an incredible barber, always a positive voice and does an incredible job making you feel comfortable and well taken care of when she's working on you. I've been getting my hair cut by Taylor for a number of years now and you couldn't convince me to go anywhere else.

Caitlin Marrington

I will definitely be coming back to Cultured Swine, and have been recommending it to all my friends!! Taylor is talented and kind, and gave me a haircut i was incredibly happy with. She is easy to chat with and gave great tips on how to style my new hair. Not to mention her shop is a safe and adorable space, in an incredibly convenient location!

Elliott Gransaull

I'm so stoked that this place has opened up, Taylor is awesome and gave me the best cut I've had in years. I'm super picky and usually never satisfied with a haircut but this is the first time I've had my expectations exceeded, I'm so relieved to have finally found my go-to barber.

Isaiah Archer

A funky little shop that's well worth the visit. I went there 'opening day' and was really happy with my cut. Taylor is super friendly and very professional. A very cool shop with a great atmosphere and really reasonable rates. Highly recommended. I'll be back.

Taylor is a rad human being and a hair expert. Being in the cozy little barber shop was such a comfortable experience I'd recommend it to anyone who needs their tresses tamed.

Holy moly, what a killer barbershop. By far the best hair experience in Victoria, and I’ve tried a lot of them. Everyone should get their haircut by Taylor.

Taylor is THE BEST! I have never felt comfortable really going into a barbershop before, and she has created such an inclusive safe space. I love coming to see her! The shop is so cute, and cozy.

I popped in for a no appointment haircut after seeing it on the street. Great little shop, small but well kept and clean. Taylor was welcoming and friendly. I got the exact haircut I wanted at a great price! 10/10 I will absolutely be returning -Carson

Taylor gave me the mini mullet of my dreams on my birthday! Amazing experience!

Taylor's been giving great cuts for years and now she's got her own little closet sized shop where she continues to do an excellent job

Taylor is a very talented hairdresser. The genuine conversations are added bonus.

Nicholas Workman

Cultured Swine is a great shop. The experience I had there was nothing less than perfect. Taylor is professional, easy to communicate with, and fun to talk to. It can be difficult to find a good barber. Once you try Cultured Swine, it will not be difficult to come back. P.S. The decor is on point.
