I walked in at 10am on a Monday and was immediately seen by Teresa, no appointment. She was…read morecheerful, attentive, and patient with my poor Spanish/Catalan. I asked for a traditional, short men's haircut, and service included a shampoo and scissor cut. This is by far the best haircut I have received in years. It is hard to make my hair look good because of the directions it wants to grow and my hair texture (fine and increasingly thin), but Teresa succeeded where many have failed. As a tourist in Barcelona, I've felt torn: it's natural to want to see this beautiful, historic city, but my presence is also an imposition on the local residents who must feel like they're being crowded out of their own home by strangers. Nevertheless, Teresa and the owner made me feel welcome. I'm so grateful for their kindness and skill. Only €32 to look and feel like a million bucks. 10/10.

Todo esto gracias a la comunicación, paciencia, talento y experiencia de Manolo. Vine de visita a Barcelona, de California, y mi recortadora de barba no funciono. Encontré esta barbería en Yelp. Hacer la cita fue fácil, en línea. Aparte del gran servicio, la experiencia y conversación con Manolo fue fantástica. Manolo tiene buen sentido del humor y una cálidad humana muy cálida; conversamos como si tuvieramos años de conocernos. Es una lástima que no pueda venir a esta barbería cada que lo necesite, por vivir en otro continente; pero cada que visite Barcelona haré una cita aquí. --- English speakers, use Google translate to read my Spanish review... suffice to say that I highly recommend this barbershop. You will get a great service and experience.

He speaks excellent English, which made the experience even better. Marcel's colleague, Joao, arrived halfway through my haircut and he was very cool as well. I booked through Booksy and it was easy and flawless. I reserved the haircut + taper fade + straight razor shave, and Marcel did an exceptional job. The shave was very relaxing, including both hot and cold towels. He finished with a very nice and unique aftershave that my wife liked very much. This shop is located in the Gracia neighborhood, just a couple of blocks from the subway stop. This area is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Barcelona! Absolutely NOT touristy, with so many hidden gems -- coffee shops, pastry shops, small grocery stores, and beautiful little parks where you can sit and enjoy a cool drink. As someone who considers himself a barbershop connoisseur, frequenting The People's Barbershop in the Bay Area (SF and Oakland locations) for their fades and straight razor shave with hot towel service, I can confidently say that Shellshock is absolutely getting added to the canon of classy barbershops for me. Highly recommend!

They took a few good looks at me and said that I should try some of their fades and smooth lines and sharp cuts. They exclaimed, "New city, new look!" So I agreed, and walked out with a fade look that makes me look like a Euro version of myself. Catalonian Curt C. They don't cut 'em like this in Texas. But I still walked outta there a sharp-lookin' guy. My hair was so on fleek I was stopping traffic and ladies were walking into walls and fountains while checking me out. The whole barber shop is boxing themed! They have all the greats pictured in there. Mike Tyson's signed gloves are in there! They have boxing shorts, and all sorts of memorabilia from the ring! If you're a boxing fan, you'd dig this place. The barber was quite well versed in his boxing history and boxing standings. It's a small place, but they do a good job. They do a lot of cool stuff that I haven't had from a barber shop in a long time, like straight razors and hot towels. I tried to tip the barber when I left, and he acted surprised when I handed him too much money for the service. The barbers mostly spoke English.

Worst experience ever, expensive haircut , 3 and a half years of hair grown ruined in minutes with a terrible haircut, asked several times not to cut it so short , just down the neck , no she goes up and over the neck when I told her just the tips , what I get is just a "it's still very long to me it'll grown in a month or so" just making excuses for making whatever she wanted instead of what was asked , will never return or recommend.

The warm, welcoming vibe hits you right away; Vicenç and his talented team make you feel like an old friend the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is perfect: classic charm mixed with great energy, and they use top-tier products like Noberu that smell incredible and deliver amazing results. I usually go for a classic short back & sides with a textured top. The precision is outstanding, flawless fades, razor-sharp lines, and they truly listen to what you want, tailoring it to your hair type and style with real care. No rush, just genuine expertise and attention to detail. They use high-end brands like Noberu, and the prices are completely worth it for this level of quality. Awards like Best Barber of the Year speak volumes about the skill here. If you're in Barcelona and value a great haircut, this is the place, pure excellence every time!

On arriving at the store, the blinds were shut and the lights were off and stayed shut right up to 15:00, after my third attempt at calling them, I decided to cut my losses and go to the metro to make my way back to work. I then decided to call them out of courtesy to see if they would answer. I was told "Im sorry but there was a problem with our agenda and we forgot to call you".
