Raleigh is a city of professionals - tech, finance, healthcare, government, and education. And professionals need a cut that looks sharp in the office, in meetings, and in presentations. The Dominicans Barbershop is the go-to destination for professional and business haircuts in Raleigh.
Whether you're a software engineer at Red Hat, a banker at First Citizens, a doctor at UNC Rex, a lawyer downtown, or a state government employee, we'll give you a cut that's polished, professional, and appropriate for the office.
Our 24 barbers are skilled in classic and modern professional styles - from the timeless gentleman's cut to the contemporary comb over with taper fade. We're at 3601 Capital Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27604. Open 7 days a week from 8:40 AM to 9:00 PM. Cuts from $35, fades from $40.
Popular professional haircut styles
The most requested professional styles at our shop include: Classic Gentleman's Cut ($35+) - timeless, neat, and appropriate for any office. Comb Over with Taper Fade - modern professional, versatile for any setting. Side Part with Fade - classic and polished, great for formal offices. Taper Fade - subtle fade that's professional but not flashy. Buzz Cut - low-maintenance, clean, and always appropriate. Executive Cut - longer on top with clean tapered sides, sophisticated.
For job interviews, we recommend a classic gentleman's cut or a comb over with taper fade - both are polished and professional. For daily office wear, a taper fade or side part works well. For formal events or presentations, a classic cut with a hot towel finish looks sharp.
Not sure what style works for your office? Tell your barber what you do and what the dress code is. We can recommend a style that's professional but still fits your personality.
Why Raleigh professionals choose The Dominicans
Professionals appreciate efficiency. With 24 barbers on the floor, we get you in and out quickly - important when you have a busy schedule. Walk-ins are welcome, and wait times are short even during peak hours.
We're also open longer than most shops - 8:40 AM to 9:00 PM, 7 days a week. You can get a cut before work, during lunch, after work, or on the weekend. Many of our professional clients have a standing weekly or bi-weekly appointment.
Every barber on the floor works to the same house standard, so the cut you got last month is the cut you get today - whichever chair opens up. For someone who has to look sharp Monday through Friday, predictability matters more than luck.
Tips for maintaining a professional look
To maintain a sharp professional look, we recommend: 1) Get a cut every 2-4 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. 2) Come in for a shape-up ($15) between cuts to keep the lineup sharp. 3) Keep the beard trimmed ($20) if you have one. 4) Use a light styling product - pomade, clay, or gel - to keep your hair in place all day. 5. Avoid heavy products that look greasy.
For important meetings or presentations, come in the day before for a fresh cut and shape-up. You'll look and feel more confident when your hair is freshly cut.
Many of our professional clients book a recurring appointment - same day, same time, every 2 weeks. It becomes a routine, like going to the gym. Book online at calltruco.keynou.com or call (980) 819-1045 to set up a recurring appointment.
