Taguig Spots for a Shave and Cut
THINK BIG TAGUIG STAFF // 4 MIN READ
Published November 23, 2018
If you haven’t noticed, we’re in the midst of a traditional barbershop renaissance. Gone are the days when men and women shared the same hairstylist. Today, the modern man is rediscovering the value of overall grooming, and can tell the difference between and good one and a bad one. Specialty grooming shops won’t just cut your hair – they’ll pour you a drink, give you a smooth shave, and pamper you with hot towels. Here, we round up the best ones in Taguig. Time to get a new haircut.
Bruno’s Barbers
Bruno’s Barbers has been cutting hair for over 27 years now, and remains the go-to place for men’s grooming. They are known for their precision cuts, as well as their hair and scalp treatments. Bruno’s delivers head-to-toe pampering including a shave or beard/moustache trim, facials (try their Hypoallergenic Facial, or Deep Cleansing Facial), massages, and even threading services. If your shoes need a touch up, they can shine them for you, too. You’ll want to keep your new haircut fresh with Brunolab, their own line of hairstyling and shaving products. Coffee and cookies are on the house while you wait.

Felipe And Sons
Felipe and Sons is not just a barbershop; it’s a fusion of the traditional barbershop and a haberdashery, hence the term barberdashery. This is a place where you can get a haircut and a shave, while trying on customized suits for gentlemen. Book an appointment and they’ll serve up your refreshment of choice – coffee, whiskey, or beer – before giving you a stylish cut with relaxing hot towels, a close shave or beard sculpting, or facial. They can even shine your shoes or clean your sneakers while you get groomed. At the haberdashery, you can try on bespoke shirts, suits, and formal accessories such as bow ties and neckties to go along with your suit.

Back Alley Barbershop
If you want high quality, no frills service, then Back Alley Barbershop is for you.

Go for the Hungover Treatment (even when you’re not), a relaxing and pampering session that includes alternating hot and cold towel applications, facial scrub and mask, moisturizers, and a massage. The shop gives off a retro feel with vintage-inspired interiors. There’s a lounge where you can read from a good selection of magazines while sipping a hand brewed coffee or a craft beer. Back Alley takes music seriously; one can enjoy a carefully curated playlist with tunes ranging from jazz to blues to rock.
