Crazy Monkey Barbershop

Crazy Monkey Barbershop at 29 Mitropolit Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni Street is the Centru branch of the Crazy Monkey chain and the better known of its two shops (the other is on Decebal in Botanica). The website lists classic and modern cuts, long-hair and kids’ cuts, head shaves and royal shaves, beard styling and tinting, hair toning, brow correction, waxing and SPA grooming. Coffee or whisky is on the house, there are offers for first visits and for father-and-son, and the brand also runs a product shop, a barber school and a franchise. Booking is online, choosing the location.

Customers are highly satisfied, with many saying they have been coming for years and would not go anywhere else. Barbers Nichita and Vlad are praised by name, along with the good music and grooming advice during the cut. There are some sharply critical reviews too, about cleanliness and how certain clients were treated, but they are rare against the large volume of positive ones.
