Look at that smouldering look.
Sheesh, pity about the topknot.
Look, finding the right barber can be a real pain. Maybe your sideburns seem a little off, or you’re just not happy with your barber’s scissor work.
By the time you realise you’re wiped down, the next person is sitting in the chair, and you’re been ushered out the door.
You’re just a number, so maybe it’s time you stopped messing around and found the right barber once and for all.
Settling into “one of the most beautiful buildings in Cape Town with loads on offer”, McIntyre’s Barber can be found on the mezzanine level of Cartel House Hotel & Coworking Cape Town, just above the renowned and much-loved Cafe du Cap.
An old-school traditional barber, owner Wesley McIntyre has huge love for the industry, and specialises in classic cuts and traditional hot towel shaves:
I strive for every cut and shave to be better than the last and your experiences with me to be nothing but great.
And whether you’re there for a chat, or to merely relax and enjoy the experience, what happens in the barber shop, stays in the barber shop.
Although McIntyre doesn’t exactly have a favourite haircut per se, he does have a Cape Town pet peeve:
I’m probably going to get tuned but hey, those topknots and man buns with a scruffy beard and wearing your grandfather’s old clothes…it’s a look, but not a good one in my eyes.
And we agree. So do Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues – remember THIS viral video?
With everything under one roof, from a Boost Bar Gym to private and shared office spaces, McIntyre’s Barber has made its home in the Ideas Cartel on Loop Street.
