Vasco Barber Under the tree — Local services in Cartagena

It’s a no frills haircut spot. If your looking for a haircut “experience” with air condition and someone to kiss your butt then this place is not for you.

If your looking for a honest man who’s been cutting hair for 20+ years and your sitting in plastic chairs in someones backyard underneath a tree while kids play around you and a bunch of locals waiting. Then this spot is for you!

Great haircut, asked him something basic and he did it. No frills haircut, just an honest old man making a living and cutting hair in his back yard!

I literally said “bald on the sides short on the top” and it came out great.

If your a foreigner who doesn’t speak espanol I would to keep your request as simple and easy to understand, again this isn’t the top of the line salon. It’s a haircut by honest guy and where locals go. I paid 40mil + 10mil tip = $16 USD. I usually pay $30+ for a haircut in the states. So I’m a...
