Mini City is one of the busiest nodes on Capital Boulevard, and it's practically in our backyard. The Dominicans Barbershop sits at 3601 Capital Blvd - about a half-mile from the Mini City shopping center - so if you're running errands or grabbing food in the area, a fresh skin fade is a two-minute drive away.
Clients from the Mini City corridor come to us because a skin fade done right is worth the extra block. Our barbers blend down to the skin with no visible lines, finish with a lineup that frames your face, and add a hot towel detail that most shops in the area skip.
You don't need an appointment - walk in and one of our 24 barbers will have you in a chair fast. But if you're coming on a weekend, booking ahead means you skip the wait and get straight to the cut.
The Mini City Fade Standard
Mini City draws a mix of families, commuters, and students from the surrounding apartments and bus routes. That mix means we see every fade style - low, mid, high, burst, drop, and taper - on every hair type, every day.
No matter which style you bring us, the standard is the same: a seamless blend to the skin, a lineup that stays sharp, and a finish that makes the trip down Capital Blvd worth it.
Easy to Reach from Mini City
From Mini City, head south on Capital Boulevard for less than a minute - we're on the right at 3601 Capital Blvd, Suite 113, with free parking right out front. GoRaleigh Route 1 runs the corridor if you're taking the bus.
Coming from Triangle Town Center or Spring Forest Road? You're only a few minutes north on Capital. Coming from Brentwood or Marsh Creek? You're even closer.
