A Barber Just South of Wake Forest, NC
Plenty of our regulars drive in from Wake Forest — and it's an easy trip. Dean's Barber Shop sits in North Raleigh on Spring Forest Rd, a straight shot down Capital Boulevard or Falls of Neuse from Wake Forest, usually under twenty minutes.
We've been a family-owned, veteran-owned barbershop since 1984: a father and his three sons who've spent decades behind the chair. Once Wake Forest guys find us, they keep coming back — because a good barber is worth the short drive.
Why Wake Forest guys make the drive
Consistency. You get the same barber, the same standard, and a cut that's actually built around your hair — not a rushed, one-size-fits-all trim. Fades, tapers, scissor cuts, beard shaping, and traditional straight-razor work, all finished with a free neck shave on every haircut.
It's an old-school shop with old-school prices: $30 for a haircut, $20 for a beard trim, $50 for a haircut and beard trim, and $45 for a hot-lather straight-razor shave. Cash only, with an ATM inside.
