La Barbiere is an award-winning, premium barbershop chain with seven barbershops around Paris. They have opened shop in several iconic venues across Paris such as Hackett, the British men’s clothing store and the posh Hotel Crillon (our favourite location).

They offer beard trims and hair cuts as well as other treatments like waxing, manicures, and hair dying. Prices vary a tad by location but cost around 45 euros for a full service haircut including shampoo and styling.
5) GENTLEMAN 1919
Gentleman 1919 is our favourite all round spot for men. Besides having a speakeasy with a fumoir (cigar room) in the back, they are an excellent barber. Plush chairs and experienced barbers means you will be in good hands. You can sip an old fashioned at the back while you wait or puff on a lovely Cuban afterwards so plan to stay for more than just a cut. A simple haircut with styling costs 43 euros, facial mask for 25. Beard trim with scissors costs 27.
They now are open as a bar (not just a cigar lounge). We hope they will soon offer a cigar+ haircut combo. Fingers crossed!
