Vacante's Barber Shop is a family-owned and operated business that provides a warm, friendly atmosphere and quality haircuts. Customers praise the attention to detail in their cutting, with one reviewer noting that the staff made their hair "better" than before. The shop maintains a classic Philly barber shop vibe, and customers can often get in without a long wait, especially towards the end of the day. The only requirement is to bring cash, as the shop is cash-only.
My daughter who is an award winning hairstylist used to be the only one who I would let cut my hair. Then I moved and had to find someone else. I wanted someone who could.do a real scissor cut with minimal clippers.. I tried Vacantes and was sold. Even when they used clippers more than I was used to it still looked great. There are 5 barbers there and I've been to all of them. You can't get a bad haircut here. Everyone of them is totally knowledgeable in every technique. You will look good no matter what your personal style is. They do it all.

My husband has been going to Nick, every month, for 15yrs. If by chance he’s not there, he sees Ben. We moved out of MontCo and he STILL goes to Vacante’s. He won’t go anywhere else. All the barbers are friendly. Place is always clean. Plenty of room to sit and wait for a cut or for the person you’re with, that’s getting a cut. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed. They also have two other locations. But this is the one we go to.

I got Nick for my first time. I have to say it was a treat. He was super polite, warm smile. I showed him a picture of how my hair looked before from a good cut and he somehow made it better while doing what I asked.
Apparently family owned and operated. I listened to some other convos while in the chair and everyone just has a warm friendly feel to them. Great price. Just remember it’s CASH only which is probably helping keep their price awesome.
Highly recommend this place. It’s now my place. :)
