For some years now, male facial hair has been in fashion.
But not in any way ...
The importance of having a well-styled beard, like a gentleman, makes the difference between class and disdain
.
The classic barbershops, those of the grandparents, give way to a new generation of establishments dedicated to men where haircuts or shaving rituals take on another dimension.
With traditional techniques such as the razor and without losing sight of current aesthetic trends, we selected five barbershops to leave a dandy.
Docklands Barber Shop
Inaugurated in February 2020, in just one year (pandemic and confinement through) it has become one of the most influential barbershops in Madrid. It is located in the Salamanca district and, as its name already anticipates (a reference to the London port area), it bets on a very modern, industrial decoration. Despite this, the classic and traditional essence in the way of working is respected, without forgetting the touch of innovation typical of the 21st century. Its services, taught by professionals who have up to 22 years of experience, include from a hair peel (9 euros) to the VIP Docklands experience (haircut, beard trim, facial and head peel, washing and styling; from 52.25 euros).

Bearbero, an aesthetic center specialized in grooming beards.
Bearbero
Mario Melgar, a barber by profession and conviction and the son of a Sevillian barber, is the architect of Bearbero, an establishment opened in 2013. It is a different concept of a renovated traditional barbershop, that is, a space specialized in using the techniques current and adapt them to current trends. Its strong point is the arrangement of beards (from 17 euros): advice is given on the design and the most suitable shape according to the client's face and a machine and scissors are used, depending on the particular characteristics of each beard. In addition, it has a whole line of own brand care (Bearbero Care), without forgetting some of the best firms in the sector (such as L'Oreal Men, King C. Guillete or Philips, among others). Haircuts with washing and styling are also offered,hot and cold towel shaves and ammonia-free beard tinting.

Damn bastards
Located on the border that separates Malasaña from Alonso Martínez, this old school air space and with a rogue point is designed for daring men (without forgetting the essence of men's hairdressing and without neglecting even the smallest detail).
It was inaugurated five years ago by Alberto Hernández, director of the brand, after more than 30 years of experience in the sector.
In the purest
Peaky Blinders
style
, his team of barbers masterfully use the razor in a green-walled venue, reminiscent of the 1950s (coat racks from another era, wall clocks, old photographs, a deer head ... ).
The services range from a good scissor cut or a very close gradient to a razor shave with a very careful protocol (hot towels, essences, oils, balms ...).
All to the rhythm of good music and while enjoying a beer or, why not, a glass of bourbon.
