Barbershop vs. Salon: What’s Best for Men’s Grooming?
When it comes to looking sharp and feeling confident, the place you choose for your haircut matters. Many guys wonder whether a barbershop or salon is the better choice — and the truth is, it depends on the style, atmosphere, and level of detail you’re after. At Costello’s Barber Collective in Henderson, we’re breaking down the key differences so you can decide where you’ll get your best cut yet.
1. Barbershops: Precision, Tradition, and Masculine Style
Barbershops have long been the go-to destination for men’s grooming. Trained barbers specialize in shorter, traditional, and modern men’s cuts — fades, tapers, crew cuts, and beard shaping.
The tools of choice? Clippers, straight razors, and shears.
At Costello’s, every service blends old-school craftsmanship with modern technique, giving clients sharp, clean results with a personal touch. You’ll also find a relaxed, masculine environment where conversation flows and style is part of the culture.
Perfect for: Fades, tapers, beard trims, classic cuts, and men who value efficiency and precision.
2. Salons: Styling and Versatility
Hair salons tend to focus on styling, coloring, and longer hair textures. Stylists are often trained to work with a wider variety of lengths and techniques — making salons great for men growing their hair out or experimenting with new textures and colors.
However, salons often cater to a broader audience, so the vibe may feel more neutral or feminine compared to the energy of a classic barbershop.
Perfect for: Medium-to-long hair, color services, or layered styles that need more styling attention.
3. The Experience Difference
A major difference between barbershops and salons isn’t just in skill — it’s in the experience.
At Costello’s Barber Collective, the experience is designed for men: precision cuts, hot towel shaves, beard care, and a comfortable atmosphere built around connection and confidence.
It’s not just a haircut — it’s a ritual. You leave refreshed, clean, and ready to take on the week.
4. Why Men Are Choosing Barbershops Again

At Costello’s, we combine the expert techniques of a salon with the tradition of a true barbershop, giving our clients the best of both worlds — luxury, skill, and authenticity.
