11 of the best Barbershops in San Diego

Intro Over the last several years, traditional-style barbershops have seen a serious resurgence. No longer "just a fad", chop shops continue to pop up all over San Diego. Offering classic services in a cool, throw-back atmosphere, finding the right barber shop can be an anxiety-inducing ordeal for a dude looking for a tight fade. With hundreds of establishments to choose from, here are some of our favorite shops that deliver solid cuts, good conversation, cool ambiance, and in some cases, a nice, cold beer. 1 - Mister Brown's Barber Shop A return to the classic gentlemen's parlor, Mister Brown's (in North Park) caters to the modern man by providing high quality services, products and the ultimate social experience - in other words, beer and a pool table. 2 - Lefty's Barbershop A traditional men's barbershop with two locations in Pacific Beach, Lefty's offers luxurious hot towel razor shaves and gentleman's haircuts at affordable prices. 3 - Capitol Barbershop Classic barber shop in Normal Heights: two old school barber chairs, laid back atmosphere, and great service. 4 - OB Barbershop Conveniently located in the heart of Ocean Beach, the OB Barbershop is owned and operated by Darin Wright, a local barber and surfer. Watch a surf video and relax while Darin cleans you up with a detailed haircut and straight razor shave. 5 - Barber Side Established in 2007 as a private gentlemen's barbershop catering to men only, Barber Side opened to the public and moved to a larger location on Adams Ave in 2009. The shop has a tendency to get packed, so give yourself a good amount of time to hang. 6 - Pappy's Barber Shop Located inside a tattoo shop (Propaganda Tattoo) in the College Area, Pappy's Barber Shop finishes each awesome haircut with a hot lather, straight razor neck shave and a splash of Bay Rum for that extra fresh feeling. 7 - Floyd's 99 Barbershop With multiple locations in San Diego, Floyd's 99 barber shop is a barbershop for men and women. More of a rock-n-roll salon than a traditional chop shop, Floyd's barbers, hairdressers, and stylists provide quick and professional haircuts, colors, & shaves. East Village: 899 Market St. (619) 546-6860 Hillcrest: 407 W. Washington St. (619) 220-4970 Mission Valley: 5658 Mission Center Drive. (619) 487-1014 8 - El Rey Tattoo and Barber El Rey Tattoo & Barber is owned and operated by Randy Janson, who was part owner of the legendary Two Roses in Barrio Logan until 2011. Nice clean shop, awesome artwork, and excellent service for a tattoo and/or cut&shave. 9 - Vince's Barber Shop A traditional barbershop experience in Little Italy complete with shampoo, shave, a cold beer, and Playboys in the magazine rack. Sit back, relax and enjoying the scenery on India St. 10 - Normal Heights Barbershop A quaint shop on the corner of Mansfield and Adams, Normal Heights Barbershop offers a clean environment, friendly staff, and great products. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed by friendly barbers, a cold beer, and good tunes. 11 - Dinks Barbershop Great barber shop, good vibe, perfect neighborhood feel.
