Gabriel's Barbershop

5.0(6 reviews)

About

On Costa Rica, Gabriel's Barbershop has built its name on the cut itself, and a 5 out of 5 from 6 reviews speaks to that reputation. The premises sit 200 metros al oeste del cruce de, Villarreal, Provincia de Guanacaste, Villareal, 50309. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward appointment, with the chair and clippers doing the talking rather than any fuss.

That score across 6 reviews places the shop among the most consistently praised stops in the province. Guanacaste's coastal towns sit within a reasonable drive, so a trim fits easily into a beach itinerary. Reaching the shop from Tamarindo or the wider peninsula is manageable by car along the main highway.

Ferries cross the Gulf of Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula, and small aircraft serve coastal destinations, which helps if the journey starts further afield.

A casado, the set lunch of rice, beans, plantain, salad and a choice of meat or fish, makes a solid meal before or after a visit. Spanish is the main language spoken here, so a few local words help with routine exchange.
