Barbers, hot shaves and men’s waxing in Sacramento. Real prices, no mystery menus.
Short answer: a men’s cut in Sacramento lists from $40 at Anthony’s Barbershop, $42 at Barber Blues and $45 at Sunny Side and Sacred Barbers. Hot towel shaves list at $30 (Sacred Barbers), $40 (Sunny Side) and $60 (Barber Blues). Chest or back waxing has public prices at both Sacramento European Wax Center locations. Barbershop hours on booking apps are often partial, so we only print them where the shop’s own site lists them.
Midtown has its barbers, its beer-while-you-wait shops and the rainbow-painted crosswalks of Lavender Heights on K Street. Here’s who does what, for how much, and what we couldn’t confirm.

Take Care Barbershop (J St) and Jimmy’s Barber Garage (24th St) are in Midtown, but we found no LGBTQ+ statement for either on a named source, so check the map for walking time and ask.
