Welcome to Madrid

There remain few traditional barbershops like this one, where you'll find a 100-year-old armchair, a survivor of the era of the unisex salon. Here, customers take a step into the past rather than into the future.

This is the place for customers who prefer tradition to modernity, businesses that have passed from father to son, where tradition is the brand. Peluquería de Luis Martín, a business that has passed down from generation to generation, is one of the few that conserve their original fittings and furniture, from 1925. Its cutting and shaving technique must be addictive, since some customers have frequented this establishment for more than 20 years. Luis Miguel Mansilla, who inherited the trade from his father, runs the business, which has several employees.
