A barber in Santiago.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Campos
Av. de Rosalía de Castro, 46, 15701 Santiago de Compostela, C, Spain

Perhaps the oldest barberia in Santiago.

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

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).

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.

I must say that after not shaving or having a haircut for the entire Camino Frances I enjoyed looking like a proper pilgrim (whatever that is) when I got home although my wife wasn't too impressed!

Paddy, the resident grump, calls this certain specie of pilgrims "ghastly old prophets," or sometimes "bearded gits."

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,

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!
