A Barcelona Barbershop that Rocks Shellshock, located in the heart of Gracia, is a traditional Barcelona barbershop specializing in classic men’s haircuts. This small corner on Torrent de l’Olla is carefully decorated and full of details that accentuate its small, indie business character. The shop pays homage to the barber’s craft throughout its different periods and cultures, and it leans more toward rock and roll, skate and photography, than the traditional fashion world and hair salons. With only two chairs, clients can be assured of personalized attention for their stylish haircut or hot towel shave.   About Meagan BellovinMeagan arrived in Barcelona in 2019, having left behind a full life of family, friends, and career in Austin, Texas.
