V's Barbershop in Carlsbad's La Costa corridor is a veteran-owned franchise location on Via Campanile, operated by 615 AD, Inc. under the V's brand founded in 1999. Full-service offerings include hot-lather straight-razor shaves, men's facials, and complimentary neck massages — a grooming scope that extends into medical-grade skincare at NakedMD Med Spa Carlsbad where injectable and resurfacing treatments pick up where the barber chair leaves off. The shop identifies as Asian-owned, Latino-owned, and LGBTQ+-affirming, maintaining a gender-neutral restroom and a transgender-safe environment alongside its vintage-chair aesthetic. Complimentary hot-towel wraps and shoulder massages close out every service, creating a post-cut decompression ritual on par with the therapeutic bodywork at Elements Massage - South Carlsbad. Skin-fade haircuts carry a $5 surcharge for straight-razor or foil-razor blending above the hairline, covering the additional single-edge blade work required for bald-to-scalp gradients.
