The Best Barbershops in Bangalore
With the ever-changing vogue, India’s grooming industry has seen a remarkable surge over the last decade. The men’s grooming industry is burgeoning and nobody wants to miss out on their piece of the pie. Owing to the surge, barbershops are on a rise in Bangalore, while existing establishments are striving to keep up with the dynamism of the trade. Here are our picks for the best barbershops in Bangalore.
BBLUNT
BBLUNT
A brainchild of one Adhuna Bhabani, BBLUNT is a salon chain in India that has earnest roots tracing back to 1998’s Mumbai. A couple of decades later, BBLUNT is a successful franchise operating out of several towns in India. Bangalore alone has multiple BBLUNT branches providing top notch services to its loyal clientele. Additionally, the unisex salon resonates the idea that imperfections aren’t the problem, rather they are what defines us.

Truefitt & Hill
Truefitt & Hill
Truefitt & Hill is as old as the word ‘barbershop’ itself, unmatched and unparalleled in prominence. It’s not every day that you come across an enterprise whose one-time clients were the likes of Winston Churchill and Frank Sinatra. Bangalore is among the very few places in India with a Truefitt & Hill barbershop. Needless to say, grooming services at the establishment are of the highest quality, if not the most economical.

Moustache Barbershop
Moustache Barbershop
A quirky idea to bring together the best worlds of old-school barbershops and state-of-the-art salons has paved way for a men-only establishment, Moustache Barbershop. As the motto of Moustache Barbershop goes, it’s an effort to brink back the former glory of conventional barbershops that had little to no involvement of the opposite sex. It’s safe to say that Bangaloreans have taken a liking for an eccentric venture such as this.
