North Hills · Midtown Raleigh
North Hills has the dining and the shopping - and three miles down Capital Blvd, it has the sharpest barbershop in Raleigh. Worth the short drive from Midtown.
About 3 miles from North Hills / Midtown
North Hills defines Midtown Raleigh - luxury living, retail, dining, and a steady flow of professionals who want to look the part. The Dominicians is about three miles north on Capital Boulevard, and a lot of our Midtown regulars make the short drive because the cut is worth it.
If you live or work in North Hills, you have options closer to home - but you don't have many that combine 18+ years of experience, 24 barbers on the floor, and a 5-star reputation across 1,600+ reviews. That's why people skip the closer chairs.
We're open 8:40 AM to 9:00 PM every day, so you can come before the office, on your lunch break, or after dinner at North Hills. Walk in, or book ahead to lock in a time.
North Hills is a district built on quality - the restaurants, the shops, the residences - and our barbers hold the same standard for grooming. A skin fade from The Dominicans looks intentional from every angle, and a beard shape frames your face instead of swallowing it.
Every service is available, so if you're getting ready for an event at Midtown Park or a night out in the Commons, you can get the full package in one visit.
From North Hills, head north on Six Forks Road to Capital Boulevard, or take the beltline to the Capital Blvd exit - either way, you're at 3601 Capital Blvd in about 10 minutes. Free parking right out front.
Coming from Duke Raleigh Hospital, Carolina Country Club, or the Midtown East apartments? You're even closer.

“Carlos got me right with a fresh low skin fade then squared everything up. Slight confusion once arriving, but the crew translated and collaborated to perfect it.”
