V's Barbershop is a veteran-owned barber shop at 2683 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, CA 92014, carrying a 4.8-star rating across more than 730 Google reviews. Founded in 1999 by Jim "Mr. V" Valenzuela in Phoenix, the franchise now operates over 60 locations nationwide, and this Del Mar outpost opened in 2011 just off the I-5 near the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Families heading to the nearby Del Mar Horsepark often stop in for a fresh cut before race day. The shop delivers a full menu of grooming services built around vintage barber chairs and an old-school atmosphere — high-quality haircuts, straight-razor shaves with hot lather, beard and moustache trims finished with complimentary hot towels, men's facials, and neck-and-shoulder massages. Specialized skin fades that require a straight or foil razor carry a $5 surcharge. Walk-ins are always welcome, though reservations are recommended during peak hours and can be booked online, by phone, or through the V's Barbershop app. Hours run Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6:30 PM, Saturday 8 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday 10 AM to 4 PM. Seniors 65 and older receive a standing discount. The space is wheelchair accessible with dedicated parking, accepts all major credit cards and NFC mobile payments, and is recognized as LGBTQ+ friendly. V's earned a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite award in 2020, and loyal regulars regularly praise barbers like Francisca by name for knowing exactly how they like their cuts. The Via De La Valle corridor also puts V's within easy reach of CorePower Yoga - Del Mar, making it simple to pair a morning workout with an afternoon grooming session. Reservations can be made at vbarbershop.com or by calling (858) 481-4321.
