Barbería Don Fran
About
Among Costa Rica's spa, wellness centre or massage studios, Barbería Don Fran stands out as a barbering and grooming stop in the country's capital. Contiguo a Repuestos Gigante, Centro Comercial Paseo del Parque, San José, Córdoba, Costa Rica puts it inside a shopping centre in San José, where walk-in clients and regulars alike come for a cut.
First-time visitors can expect a barber shop rather than a resort spa, with grooming services delivered in a commercial-centre setting. Clients have handed it a score of 4.5 out of 5, a figure drawn from 166 reviews, which points to a steady stream of repeat customers in the capital. San José anchors the surrounding area, with Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde sitting further along the coast and into the interior.
A website at http://www.donfran.com/ carries the shop's booking and service information for anyone planning a visit before travelling into San José.
Costa Rica's Pacific coast runs on a marked dry season while the Caribbean side stays wet for much of the year, so timing a trip depends on which shore you plan to visit. Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations for those covering long distances. Costa Rican cooking leans on fresh fruit, plantain and Salsa Lizano, with coffee from the Central Valley a major export worth trying while in the country.
