WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT US.

06/04/2017 - It's the best neiborhood barbershop out there. Greeted by name
everytime, and if it's your first time you're guaranteed to be remembered and
treated like a friend every time you return. The service is excellent no matter
whose chair you sit in and the conversational banter never stops.

Jimmy S.


01/31/2017 - I have been to many barbers in the Annapolis area, and these guys
set the bar at the very top. I absolutely refuse to go anywhere else. They tend
to get a bit busy at times, but to me the wait is always worth it. The barbers
here don't just cut hair - they're artists. I have a job interview tomorrow, and
I have never felt better about it!

Nicholas M.


01/21/2017 - I was looking for a new barber and am so happy I found this place.
Sam gave me the best haircut I've ever had, as well as good advice on how to
manage my hair specifically. I won't be using another barber as long as I'm in
Annapolis!

Eric N.


10/02/2016 - Always happy when my husband gets his hair cut here! He felt the
conversation was entertaining and it's an overall good experience. Definitely a
craft this barbershop has down pat- it's always busy but we found if he gets
there before 5 during the week he doesn't have to wait.

A Kate H.


09/24/2016 - They always do a great job busy or not, Capistrano is the place to
go & now my favorite barbershop.

Jason W.


08/27/2016 - Was searching for new barber. Found Capistrano's online. Honestly
Sam gave me the best haircut ever and I am 55. Attention to detail and just a
great guy. Atmosphere was outstanding. Can't wait for my next cut!

Christian F.


02/26/2016 - This an old school style barbershop located in the historic
district of Annapolis. They practice the straight razor shave which very few
barbershops do any longer. The service is friendly and the prices are
reasonable. Frequently the place is crowded and waiting times can be long as
this shop is so popular. So, try to avoid heavy traffic times such as Saturday.
The place is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Gary B.


06/29/2015 - What an outstanding place! First barber I've been to in years and
decided to get a shave with my haircut. I walked in 15 minutes before closing
and by the time I got to Faraj's blade, it was past closing time. Shave took
about 40 mins (I have a lot of real estate to cover!) and it was the most
comfortable experience ever! The playful banter between the barbers helped make
the experience all the worthwhile! A guy snuck in after closing and they didn't
complain one bit. Was referred to Vin 909 for dinner (see that review next,
absolutely the best dinner experience ever!) Cash only but there is an atm
inside. Will definitely be going back!

Chuck R.


08/23/2015 - Personable service, great old time environment plus a better than
usual haircut. Loved the Saturday donuts, the beer & tomato juice was just
superb. In Annapolis for the weekend, just the place for a couple of laughs.

Joseph G.


12/28/2015 - I'm mad at myself for not coming here sooner. More often than not,
I have come out of a barbershop not totally thrilled with the way my hair was
cut. Not the case at Capistrano. I got the haircut I wanted. Even after 2 weeks,
it still looks good. I have even gotten multiple compliments on how nice it
looks. But I guess that points out all of the bad haircuts I had before. The
difference here is that they take their time. Getting to the next customer isn't
the most important thing. It's getting it right with the person already in the
chair. Yes, you may wait a little longer, but the atmosphere and the comradery
in the shop more than makes up for it. They also provide you with some drink
options to help pass the time. A Saturday morning stop at Capistrano every few
weeks will now be part of my routine. By the way, did I mention you can walk to
Iron Rooster from there? That will also be part of my routine.

Stephen H.


12/19/2015 - Great friendly service and awesome haircut! Definitely recommend a
visit and will be returning

Kyle L.


10/28/2015 - I swear, I've never had a better cut, nor felt so comfortable at a
barbershop. No bull, no pretension, just small squad of really nice guys who
understand exactly what their clientele want and need. I leave this place
feeling fresher than hell every time, and my girl swoons over the precision of
the cut!

Nico K.


This is the type of barber shop you only see in the movies. You walk in, its
crowded with men and women talking and enjoying the Frank Sinatra station. On a
chilly winter night, 1 perfect haircut later this place has made a life long
customer. Best barber shop / haircut I've ever experienced in my 27 years.

Anthony H.


Can't do any better than the best barber shop in the state of Maryland! Had been
looking for a go-to place like this for years and luckily was part of a wedding
party where the guys got straight shaves and haircuts here. Faraj, Sam and Dave
have been taking care of me every since. Don't miss it!

Tom K.


04/14/2014 - Faraj, Dave, Sam and the crew are great barbers who always make the
trip to their shop an enjoyable experience. Very friendly atmosphere, but they
are all professionals who know how to cut and shave!

John K.


05/10/2014 - Great haircut, place makes you feel at home.

Dave B.


03/22/2014 - Before finding Capistrano Barber Shop, I got my mundane haircuts at
the mall or some chain. Thank god I found this place, brings old school barber
shops BACK and once you experience a straight razor shave and a clean cut by
these boys, you will ...MoreBefore finding Capistrano Barber Shop, I got my
mundane haircuts at the mall or some chain. Thank god I found this place, brings
old school barber shops BACK and once you experience a straight razor shave and
a clean cut by these boys, you will never want to step in a Bubbles or
SuperClips again! Customer for life!

Keith V.


02/22/2014 - Has to be the best barbershop I have ever been to. Best hair cut I
have ever gotten, great conversation, and awesome old-school atmosphere. Price
is great as well. It's the only place I will go now.

Ron A.


02/11/2014 - Great hair cut and great service at a good price I'm definitely
going back for my next hair cut

Edwin B.


12/01/2013 - Old fashioned style; Frank Sinatra playing in the back. Just go
here. That's all you need to know.

Joshua R.


11/01/2013 - Best Barbers in the area

Rachid H.


6/16/2013 - Best barbershop in town. Hilarious atmosphere, the barbers are
skilled at telling stories and cutting your hair. You're not going to get a
better hair cut anywhere else, and they're located right in the heart of
Annapolis. There's a ton of great sites to see and they've got lots of
recommendations for places to eat in the area.

Randy F.


6/11/2013 - Great place for men. Old school haircut, shave and atmosphere. Very
high quality across the board.

Scott G.


01/27/2013 - Great old fashioned barbershop in a great neighborhood of
Annapolis. Ask for Sam. He takes his time, treats you right and makes great
conversation.


01/10/2013 - Old time, old school. Great cut. Fast service and awesome customer
service. They pay attention to the little things that the chains forget--pesky
ear hair, errant eyebrow hairs, etc. Definitely a hidden gem in Annapolis. I'll
be back time and time again!


08/17/12 - Went today because of the Yelp reviews (in spite of the 20 minute
drive). Man, I wasn't disappointed. Super fast, skilled, and affordable.
Definitely a place where you go and feel like one of the guys. Loved the banter
between the barbers. My wife and I are new to the area, and upon finding out, we
received all sorts of great recommendations for places to go eat, etc.
Additionally, when we realized that we needed to feed the meter, they gave us
four quarters to do so. Just good guys with a real knack for cutting hair. These
guys will be my barbers as long as I'm in the area. Just a great place to go.
FYI - no CCs accepted, but there's an ATM w/ a $2 surcharge. Take cash, if
possible.


06/04/12 - If I could give more than 5 stars, I'd rate Capistrano even higher.
This isn't just a haircut. It's a social event. I went on a Saturday with my
friends and we spent multiple hours talking it up with the owners and all the
patrons. The atmosphere is excellent and I will be back every time I go to
Annapolis. If only there was a place like this in Los Angeles!

03/29/12 - Best haircut in Annapolis, hands down. Finally, a great haircut,
great price, great conversation and classic barbershop atmosphere.. Faraj is a
master at holding an easy conversation on boating, while methodically giving you
a great cut. Can't wait to take my son for his first real barbershop experience.
This swallow will be returning.


03/13/12 - Great barber shop! Loved the friendly banter and conversation... They
make everybody feel welcome. Not to mention I walked out w/the best haircut I've
had in a very long time... I've found my new barber shop :-)


02/18/12 - This is a traditional barber shop at its best, and it's not just the
haircut, it's the experience that goes along with it. Both of the guys are
absolute professionals, and they are masters at what they do. One of my favorite
aspects of Capistrano is that they take their time on every customer. They don't
pump people through like super cuts, everyone gets exactly what they want at a
meticulous level of detail. The hot shaving cream is a nice touch, and Sam is
such a pro with the razor that I can barely tell when he's started or finished.
But part of the experience is just being there. Inevitably, everyone in the shop
participates in the conversation, if they so desire, and it's a totally relaxing
setting. They even have their own ATM right there in the store. The guys are
awesome, the haircuts are excellent, and the prices really can't be beat for
what you get. Best place in town, for sure.


12/8/11 - Just left and I really think that I just got the best haircut I have
ever got. The atmosphere was great the conversation was pleasant and the cut was
fantastic. The business cards say the way it used to be but they should say the
way it ought to be!


12/9/11 - I recently moved back to the Annapolis area, and I have traveling to
Hunt Valley to get my haircut with my old stylist, partly out of loyalty, partly
out of fear that someone else would butcher my hair. Recently she had to take a
leave of absence for her pregnancy, and I decided this would be a great time to
explore new options. I found Capistrano's via a Google search and it looked
promising. I went into check in out and I automatically felt like I was in the
type of barbershops that you see in the "Best of" sections of GQ and Esquire;
the old school, no nonsense places where a great hair cut and a relaxing
experience are the focus. I watched Faraj cut two customers before me; the first
was a man with short thinning hair, and another with longer poker straight,
thick hair. Both guys got out of the chair looking 10x more polished than when
they sat down. Faraj, handled both with care and was able to translate their
requests into what they wanted. I was up next, and besides having very hard to
manage hair (my hair looks like the guy on Glee), I am very, very particular
about my cuts. I told Faraj what I wanted and how my hair had some "trouble
spots" of being extra thick and wavy. I also requested the "hot shave" as long
as it wasn't a burden on his time with other clients that could be coming. Faraj
assured me that time was not an issue and that he could handle my hair. Needless
to say, he was right; the cut was perfect and exactly what I wanted. The hot
shave is a great and relaxing experience; I suggest everyone sets aside the
extra 25-30 mins to get it done at some point. The shop has a wonderful
atmosphere, and the banter between Faraj, the clients, and his other barber make
even a newcomer feel right at home. Faraj pays extra close attention to the
smallest details, and gets them dead on. Another great thing about this
barbershop is that there is no push to buy some designer hair products; they
sell a great hair cut, not 500 different brands of goo, at $30.00 an ounce. I
brought my own product and Faraj commented on how much he liked the brands
products and had heard good things about my specific product. This was a nice
change from my last place, which previously sold the product that I use, then
changed suppliers (frequently) and pressured me on a hard sell for their new
brand(s); none of which worked with my hair, at all. Bottom line, this place is
awesome, and you will have a great experience. Oh, the best part, a cut and a
shave here is $35.00, that is less than half of the cost of the place I was
going before.

9/7/11 - Capistrano's in short, is a great barbershop! From the second you walk
in you feel welcomed. The shop itself is a small old school 4 chair shop with a
modern feel to it. Another great catch to this shop is that it is open until 7pm
Monday through Thursday and until 6 on Fridays... So it's perfect for an after
work cut and shave. My barber, Sam, was a younger guy that really knew his stuff
(8 years of experience). A little into the cut the owner, Faraj, walked in and
just started talking like I've been going there for years. I learned that he has
been in the business for 24 years. This cut is probably the best I've ever
gotten and I have definitely found my new barber. I highly recommend this place
if you're tired of bouncing around looking for your next haircut, you go here
and you will find your barber!

Mike W.


8/28/11 - I brought my 7 year old son in for a cut recently. I was happily
surprised that a place so classy could also be so kid friendly. Faraj is a
natural with little ones and made my son feel like a big guy. Not to mention
it's the nicest cut he's ever had (which is hard on a little kid who never stops
wiggling!) Thanks for the friendly hospitality, we'll be back!

Cindy W.


8/20/11 - A haircut, a shave, and a hearty handshake. Such a night and day from
the russian roulette of hair cutteries and great clips. There's an attention to
detail prevalent in this Barbershop, magazine's like Rolling Stone and
newspapers sit in the congenial waiting area, donuts (Carlson's!) and coffee
gratis while you wait. The only way this place would be more of a manly
sanctuary of manliness is if there were bears to wrestle while you wait. Faraj
does a wonderful job and does it with the effortless touch of a man practiced at
his craft. Highly recommended. I'm never going back to crap clips or hair
butchery again. Of note: They don't accept credit cards but have an ATM on
premises. The merchant fee isn't very steep. I considered the merchant fee part
of the tip. Does Visa, Mastercard, et al charge merchants so much that setting
up an ATM on premises and charging merchant fees is warranted? I wouldn't know.
This speculation is just sour grapes on my part and doesn't impact my opinion of
their service.

Joe D.


8/14/11 - I didn't know what to expect from a high end barbershop, Lately I have
been to going to a place that seems more like an assembly line. My experience at
Capistrano is at the opposite end of the spectrum. First of all the shop itself
is not typical barbershop decor, very comfortable and nicely appointed. The
owner does an excellent job of haircutting, and is very good at conversation. It
is the kind of place that you feel a connection more like you are visiting with
friends than paying for a service at a business. next time I plan to get the
haircut and shave package for the full experience!

Ken L.


7/22/11 - I just tried Capistrano for the first time, and I have to say that it
has become my new go-to place. The barber is very friendly, efficient, and does
quality work. Glad to have a business like this in the neighborhood!

Greg S.


7/10/11 - I am easy to please as far as barbershops go, but Capistrano
barbershop is by far the best in Annapolis. Guys are great to talk with, took
their time cutting my hair, and actually used a clean new razor to clean my neck
(I stopped other barbarshops in Annapolis from doing it due to their rusty
razors that are never cleaned). Give these guys a shot!

Tom L.


Great haircut on Friday. Lara Fritts is the relatively new head of the Annapolis
City Economic Development Office and she had an email sent thru the Mayor’s
office encouraging us to stop by your shop for a haircut. I’m please that she
did because I’ve finally found a barber who knows what it means to give a
complete haircut here in Annapolis. Thanks, and I’ll see you in a few weeks for
my next haircut.

I want to publicly thank Capistrano Barbershop and master barber Faraj
Capistrano for the father/son haircuts on Saturday. Faraj did an artful job on a
very nervous 2-year-old, and became the first barber/stylist to successfully
complete a haircut for Henry in over a year. Thank you!!!!


Sam, thanks for the impeccable haircut you gave to Dolan today. We are looking
forward to coming back. It was also nice to meet Faraj as well. We wish you the
best as your business takes off...


My husband loves Capistrano Barbershop! Since I've known him (for 20 years) he's
been a serial barbershop/salon jumper and has never gone to the same place more
than 3 times. But he loves Capistrano! And I love the way his hair looks.
Thanks, Faraj and team!


Got a very nice haircut from Sam on Thursday pm. I plan on bringing my son in
this weekend to introduce him to the finest barbershop around.


Faraj, thank you so much for cutting Henry's hair. It looks fabulous, and
considering he is just 2 years old, he hardly cried at all. We will definitely
be back and will tell others how great you and your shop is!!!!


Faraj, great job!! I will be returning and definitely would love to pick up a
shirt or two from you!! Thanks again!!


Great cut from the owner himself who was extremely friendly and has years of
cutting experience...used to have shop in Arlington, VA but moved closer to
home...
