V's Barbershop Del Mar

Who knew how hard it could be to find a decent place to get one’s haircut? Honestly, I never thought it would be as much of a challenge as it has been since I moved to San Diego.

When I lived in Arizona, I had it good, in terms of a regular place to get my haircut and achieve great results. A place called V’s barbershop got the job done every time I needed a trim. What is so great about V’s is the atmosphere coupled with experienced barbers.

Walk into V’s and you are transported to the early 1920s with black and white tile floors and mahogany paneling greeting you upon entry. A shoe shine station and old fashioned memorabilia cloud the walls creating a historic nostalgia that makes visitors feel like they are in for a unique treat.

Aside from the décor, V’s at Kierland in Scottsdale, the company’s flagship store, the people who run the place are a cast of characters with the cutting chops to match. Usualy when I went into V’s, Russian accents abound. The authentic barbershop experience was definitely completed by the Russian voices that breathed life into the place. I din’t think I’d ever been unsatisfied with a haircut from V’s in Arizona.

Fast forward to my relocation to California. Although supercuts and sports clips lurk at every shopping center, there really isn’t an experience that compares to what I used to have in Arizona. I tried one of the chain places a month or so back and ended up with a mini faux hawk that wasn’t what I asked for nor was it even.

I had pretty much lost all hope of finding a decent place after searching the internet. Luckily, I experienced a moment of genius. I went to the V’s barbershop corporate site to see where they had additional locations. To my surprise, a V’s barbershop opened in Del mar just one week ago. The recent opening was the reason I couldn’t find the location during previous internet searches.

I made the 15 minute trek out to Del Mar and upon entering the V’s barbershop, I was home again. My stylists did a great job evening out the crazy do I received from the previous place I visited. The style of the paneling, pictures and old-fashioned barber chairs was exactly like that of the V’s back in AZ. Needless to say, my search is over.
