Israel Services & Professionals Barbershops

The 6 Best Barbershops in Israel (2026)

Updated October 2026 · 6 picks

The best barbershop in Israel in 2026 is Barberia, which has run since 2014 and is the only one on this list with branches in both Tel Aviv and Haifa, at Dizengoff 114 and HaNamal 3. In Tel Aviv, Cut & Shave on Dizengoff is the razor-shave specialist, TLV Barbershop sits on King George, Mentor is the premium booking and Shufooni runs two branches plus a barbering academy. Outside the centre, The Barber in Ashkelon has cut since 2013. Six, below.

Barbering has become one of the most visible trades in Israel over the last decade. The shops that opened from about 2013 onwards brought the fade, the razor shave and the online booking system all at once, and the result is a scene that in central Tel Aviv now compares with any city its size — with published price lists, which is unusual for Israeli service businesses.

This list sticks to shops that say where they are and what they charge. It leans Tel Aviv, because that is where the documented shops are, and it includes Haifa and Ashkelon where it can. The city-by-city notes at the end are honest about the places where the best barber is someone you will only find by asking a neighbour.

1. Barberia — Dizengoff 114, Tel Aviv and HaNamal 3, Haifa

The country's best-run barbershop brand, in two cities, with its prices published.

Specialty Haircuts, scissor cuts and beard trimsLanguages Hebrew and EnglishBest for Tel Aviv and Haifa

Barberia has been going since 2014 and describes itself as a one-of-a-kind professional barbershop with some of the most versatile and experienced barbers in Israel. It runs two branches — Dizengoff 114 in Tel Aviv and HaNamal 3 in Haifa — and publishes a straightforward price list: a haircut at ₪100, haircut and beard trim at ₪130, beard trim at ₪60 and a scissor cut at ₪120.

It takes the top slot for being the only shop here operating at the same standard in two cities, and for the transparency. An Israeli service business that puts its prices on its homepage is telling you it does not expect to negotiate, which in this trade is a good sign.

Good to know: The two branches book separately — if the Tel Aviv shop is full and you are flexible, the Haifa diary is usually easier.

2. Cut & Shave — Dizengoff, Tel Aviv

The razor-shave specialist, and one of the shops that built Israeli barbering.

Specialty Men's cuts, beard design, razor shaves and waxingLanguages Hebrew and EnglishBest for Central Tel Aviv

Cut & Shave (קאט אנד שייב) opened on Dizengoff in 2015 and says it leads the barbering scene in Israel — a claim that is at least arguable, since it is one of the shops that established the format here. It specialises in all types of men's haircuts, beard design, razor shaves and waxing, and sells professional hair products online alongside the shop.

Go here for the shave specifically. A proper razor shave takes time that a busy shop would rather fill with cuts, and this is a business built around it rather than one offering it as an extra.

Good to know: Hours run about 10:00–20:00 Sunday to Wednesday with an earlier Thursday start, so a Thursday morning is the easiest unhurried slot.

3. Shufooni — Masrik 16 and Dizengoff 167, Tel Aviv

Two branches, an own-brand grooming line and a barbering academy behind the chair.

Specialty Men's cutting, grooming products and barbering educationLanguages Hebrew and EnglishBest for Central and north Tel Aviv

Shufooni (שופוני) runs two Tel Aviv branches, at Masrik 16 and Dizengoff 167, alongside an academy that teaches men's barbering and a line of organic Israeli-made grooming products — beard oil, hair wax and creams. Booking is online and there is a 24/7 customer service line.

The academy is the reason it sits this high. A shop that trains barbers has an explicit house standard rather than one that depends on who happens to be working, and it tends to mean the junior chairs are supervised rather than improvised.

Good to know: The two branches are a twenty-minute walk apart with separate diaries — check both before giving up on a same-day slot.

Website

4. TLV Barbershop — King George 4, Tel Aviv

A King George address, a published price list and a site that works in English.

Specialty Men's cutting and stylingLanguages Hebrew and EnglishBest for Central Tel Aviv

TLV Barbershop sits at King George 4, in the middle of the city rather than on the Dizengoff strip, and runs its site in both Hebrew and English with a price list, contact details and online booking. The shop presents itself as the barbershop of Tel Aviv — professionalism, style and atmosphere.

It is the most convenient entry on this list if you are staying in the centre or around Rothschild, and the bilingual site makes it the easiest to book without Hebrew. It is also actively hiring barbers, which usually means a growing diary rather than a quiet one.

Good to know: Switch the site to English before booking — the Hebrew and English versions carry the same diary but the service names are clearer in English.

Website

5. Mentor Barber Shop — Tel Aviv

The premium booking, and the most detailed menu of cuts and beard shapes in the city.

Specialty Premium men's cutting, beard styling and waxingLanguages HebrewBest for Tel Aviv

Mentor (מנטור ברבר שופ) positions itself as a premium Tel Aviv men's barbershop for someone who does not compromise on style, promising precision and punctuality with online booking. The service menu is the most granular here: men's cuts including long hair, named cuts such as the mullet, the fade and the mohican, beard styling broken into French, Italian and full beards, and waxing for face, ears and nose.

That specificity is the reason to choose it. Naming the cut you want is far easier than describing it, and a shop that lists beard shapes separately is one that will shape rather than just trim.

Good to know: Pick the named cut and beard shape from the site when you book rather than deciding in the chair — the menu is built to be chosen from in advance.

6. The Barber — Yericho 12/3, Ashkelon

Ashkelon's own since 2013, with live online booking and honest hours.

Specialty Men's cuttingLanguages HebrewBest for Ashkelon and the southern coast

The Barber (הבחור עם הקוקו) has been a men's barbershop in Ashkelon since 2013, at Yericho 12/3, with online booking that shows real-time availability up to a week ahead, plus WhatsApp and Waze links. The published hours are 9:30–13:00 and 14:30–19:00 Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9:00–14:00 on Friday, and closed Tuesday and Shabbat.

It is on this list to make a point as much as a recommendation: good barbering in Israel is not confined to Dizengoff, and a shop that has held the same street for over a decade and shows you its live diary is doing more for its customers than most of the better-marketed shops in the centre.

Good to know: It is closed Tuesdays as well as Shabbat, which catches people out — the live booking system is the fastest way to see the real week.

Best barbershops by city

A barber is a walking-distance decision, so here is where to start in each city — including the ones this list cannot cover properly.

Tel Aviv — by far the deepest scene in the country, and concentrated on a few streets. Barberia at Dizengoff 114 and Cut & Shave on Dizengoff, Shufooni at Masrik 16 and Dizengoff 167, TLV Barbershop at King George 4, and Mentor for a premium booking. Dizengoff is effectively the city's barbering street; Florentin and the south have a younger, less documented set of shops.
Haifa — Barberia at HaNamal 3 in the port area is the documented pick and the same brand and standard as the Tel Aviv shop. Hadar and the Carmel both have long-standing neighbourhood barbers that never advertise.
Jerusalem — genuinely under-documented. The city has good barbers in the centre, in Nachlaot and in Katamon, and almost none of them publishes a website; bookings happen by phone and WhatsApp. Ask where someone with a good haircut goes, because a search will mostly return aggregator listings.
Ashkelon and the south — The Barber at Yericho 12/3 in Ashkelon has run since 2013 with live online booking, and is the clearest option south of Gush Dan. Beer Sheva has a strong local trade, again largely offline.
Netanya, Herzliya and the Sharon — well served by neighbourhood shops along the main commercial streets, with the Tel Aviv shops within easy reach by train for anything specific.

Two things worth doing anywhere in Israel. Book Thursday and Friday slots several days ahead, because the pre-Shabbat rush fills them first. And settle on one barber rather than one shop — in a trade this young, the person holding the clippers moves between shops more often than the sign on the door changes.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a men's haircut cost in Israel?

Barberia publishes its prices, which makes it a useful benchmark: a haircut at ₪100, a haircut with a beard trim at ₪130, a beard trim alone at ₪60 and a scissor cut at ₪120. Tel Aviv's better barbershops cluster around that range. Outside the centre you will generally pay less for the same work, and neighbourhood barbers who do not advertise are cheaper again.

Do Israeli barbers speak English?

In central Tel Aviv, usually yes — the barbering scene there is young, international and used to customers who do not speak Hebrew, and several shops run their sites in English as well as Hebrew. Outside Tel Aviv it is less certain but rarely a problem in practice, because a haircut is one of the easier things to communicate. Bringing a photograph removes the issue entirely, and is good practice in any language.

Do you need an appointment, or can you walk in?

Book. Israeli barbershops have moved almost entirely to online booking systems, and the good Tel Aviv shops run on them — The Barber in Ashkelon shows live availability up to a week ahead, and the Tel Aviv shops all take appointments through their own sites or WhatsApp. Walk-ins sometimes work mid-week but Thursday and Friday are the busiest barbering days of the Israeli week, ahead of Shabbat.

What are the opening hours like, and what about Shabbat?

Expect a long Sunday-to-Thursday week, a short Friday and a closed Shabbat. Cut & Shave runs roughly 10:00 to 20:00 Sunday to Wednesday with an earlier Thursday start; The Barber opens 9:30 with a long afternoon break and closes at 14:00 on Friday. The pre-Shabbat Friday morning rush is real, so if you want a Friday slot, book it days ahead.

Where can you get a proper razor shave in Israel?

Cut & Shave in Tel Aviv is the clearest answer — razor shaves and beard design are the core of the business rather than an add-on, and it has been doing it since 2015. Barberia prices a beard trim separately at ₪60, and Mentor lists beard styling in several named shapes alongside facial and ear waxing. As anywhere, a shop that prices the shave separately is a shop that takes the time over it.

Is there good barbering outside Tel Aviv?

Yes, though far less of it is documented. Barberia's HaNamal 3 branch covers Haifa, and The Barber has been cutting in Ashkelon since 2013. Jerusalem, Beer Sheva and the development towns have plenty of excellent barbers who work through WhatsApp and Instagram rather than websites, which is why they are hard to list responsibly — ask locally rather than trusting a search ranking.
