People are particular about their shaves, but luckily there are more than a few great options around. After mentioning a few here last week, we decided to make a list of some more awesome chop shops to check out. The Bay Area has more than a few good barbershops so here is a list of a few of our favorite spots to drop in for a quick buzz, shave or trim. Whether you are old school or new school, your greatest barbershop dreams will be fulfilled.
Rick’s Barber Shop is easy to miss with only four seats, but if you are looking for a gentleman’s haircut, this place is classic. 415-688-7670 @ 5349 Geary Blvd.
Peoples Barber is a new shop with a throwback style that we think Don Draper would frequent. 415-292-4099 @ 1259 Polk St.
At Slick and Dapper, the name says it all. If an old school vibe is your thing, this East Bay chop shop is the one. 510-251-0796 @ 3619 Grand Ave., Oakland
