The Six Best Barbershops in Cape Town
If you want to look sharp on the streets of Cape Town – and save a bit of cash – skip the conventional hairdressers and head straight to one of these stylish barbershops. As well as the old-school guys, who are still hitting the mark, trendy new barbers are popping up all over town, offering hot-towel shaves, quick snips, and even fine cups of coffee. Here are some of the best old and new barbers in Cape Town.
1. Yogis
Yogis is the old kid on the block. This no-frills traditional barber on Buitengracht Street ticks all the boxes for a quick tidy up – fast, efficient service, no appointments, minimal small talk, high-quality barbers, and unbeatable prices. You may have to wait a few minutes before you’re called up to the chair, but the classic interior and vibrant atmosphere will easily keep you entertained.

2. Barnet Fair
Shop, Beauty Salon
3. Widow Maker Saloon & Barber
Window Maker has managed to mix the gritty appeal of Long Street with the feel of a traditional barber. Inside you’ll find wooden floors, exposed brick, classic barber chairs, and a slew of professionals ready to give you a quick snip or shave. If you’re there for more than a cut, you can also order a glass or two of Black Bottle whisky to make the experience much more enjoyable.

5. Blokes Hair
Market, Beauty Salon
6. Mr Cobbs
Located in the busy V&A Waterfront, Mr Cobbs is a barbershop where you won’t necessarily find the personalised service and charms that characterise some of the city’s more customer-oriented barbers. But if you find yourself at the waterfront, and all you want is a simple cut, the team at Mr Cobbs have got you covered.
