Christopher Cream Eliares

Owner Chris Eliares, but better known in the industry as Cream the Barber, has been cutting hair for over 20 years. What started as a hobby, has grown into a brand, and a passion for all things barbering. Born and raised in San Francisco, Cream and the Dogpatch Barber and Shave, have appeared in several magazines from Men’s Journal, and Fast Company, tv shows such as Cedric’s Barber Battle hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, nationwide commercials such as Chime, and other media outlets such as the NFL Network, and NY Magazine. The barbershop was also featured in San Fran Magazine as they were voted Best Barbershop in San Francisco for 2016.

Cream has worked with high profile clients such as All Pro 49ers running back, Christian McCaffrey, NBA legends Paul Pierce and Jalen Rose, the Kanye West Yeezy team, the Lady Gaga dance team, Method Man, Eddie Huang, and more. He now works as the San Francisco Giants team barber, working with the likes of All Star Matt Chapman, Manager Bob Melvin, Logan Webb, Mike Yastrzemski, and more. Cream is also the San Francisco ambassador for the first ever barber team for Gillette and Procter and Gamble, the Gillette Barber Council.

According to Cream, however, his biggest accomplishment has always been being a Father, and being able to provide jobs for barbers who needed a place to call home. That’s truly what gives him satisfaction in this industry. In his spare time, he loves playing golf, watching sports, spending time his family and friends, eating, sleeping, drawing, working out, walking his German Shepherd dog named Blue, binge watching episodes of Suits and X-Men ‘97, and learning new recipes to try at home.

Nothng is more important than spending time with his family, however. Nothing makes Chris more proud than being a Girl Dad. Cream currently resides in Concord, CA with his Fiancee and three beautiful Daughters.
