TESTIMONIALS

The most delightful experience for any man. The shop is full of hair cutting and shaving parafinalia and other things. The barbers are experts at their craft, quick and friendly. Definitely worth a return visit

David Smythe

If you are looking for the best hot towel shave and barbershop that caters to the old school values, identity and culture, look no further. I have been to barber shops all over the world ranging from Japan, Sweden and Seychelles. It does not get better than Mr Cobbs at the V&A. Perhaps you will have the good fortune of being attended to by the talented Travis.

Rhys Samuel

Mr Cobbs blew me away with their great hospitality and professionalism. I went today to get my hair cut, beard neatened up and they left me smiling. They are by far the best barber shop in Western-cape. You won’t be disappointed.

I always passed this shop venturing in the Waterfront and admired all the displays through the window. Today i had my hair cut and a quick neat shave and o man what a treat. I am extremely happy about the experience. Purchased some product and will definitely go back in future.
