Twice walked from St Jean to Estella and once from Sarria to Santiago. Maybe someday I'll find the time to do the entire walk.
I've found the time. Just completed SJPP to Santiago. 25 Aug to 1st Oct, 2016.
And now the Portuguese from Lisbon.
I'm starting to look a bit like an older candidate for the group, ZZ Top.
Any barbers open in Santiago. I should be there next week.

There's a two chair barbershop in a small plaza near the fish market. You'll even be offered a beer.

Yes, and here I am sitting in one of those chairs.

Many, various, and continuing.
If you are on the Camino Frances you will pass Barberia Milenio to your right on Rua San Pedro just before you cross the road and enter the old town. It will be necessary to make an appointment though.

Very hip place for the handlebar-moustache metrosexual set. You might find yourself pierced... or maybe you'll get a coupon for the tattoo place across the road.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

I'm already pierced (won't say where) and I think the 14 tattooes I already have are more than enough.

A "Tourigrino" trip once Covid has passed, so 2023
When I was last in SdC (which I'm shocked to realise was nearly 2 years ago) there were clusters of young men with shaved heads and full, bushy beards. Initially I thought it was a Gay theme but my daughter tells me not - it's Hipster.
So embrace your Hipster image and just have your head shaved but do have them comb the bocadillo crumbs out of the beard.

(I was tempted to add something about there being a really good barber in Sevilla but decided not to).
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

Nature has given me a tonsure. I just need a short back and sides, the crumbs combed out of my beard, and I'll look as hip as any hipster in Galicia.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-

I went there in 2018 and managed to get away without the tattoo or the piercing luckily.

I also had a shave for €3 in the old town in Braganza on the same camino but that would be a bit far to go from Santiago,
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

Yes I went for an appointment and he said I would have to wait a week I said thank you but by that, I will be home.

I live here and use 'Pilar Nuñez' on calle Galeras, 5 mins from cathedral just before the start of camino Fisterre. Very nice and skilled lady! Reccomend!

Hello, my shoes are pretty down and worn out now with holes in it. As it is rainy these days I won’t make it to Fisterra with dry feet. Can you recommend a good shop for shoes in Santiago...
Hi to all, I'm on the invierno right now and I will be in santiago tomorrow. I realise today I didn't get two stamps per day in the last 100 km. My question is how in the pilgrim office they are...
