Al's Barbershop is an Alameda institution with over 60 years of history, first opened in 1953 by Al Vigna. Built on a foundation of quality and professionalism, the shop has stood the test of time as a beloved community staple. After Al's retirement in 2014, the torch was passed to long-time protégé Nick Vlahos and fellow barbers Brad Roberts and Joe Polissky, who revitalized the space with a fresh look while honoring its rich legacy. Today, Al's offers premium services including precision haircuts with straight-razor nape shaves, beard trims, and traditional straight-razor shaves — all delivered with the care and craftsmanship the shop has always been known for.
