In a display of local pride and creativity, two barbershops in the San Antonio area are offering Spurs-themed haircuts, allowing fans to wear their team spirit in a unique way. Frankie Castro, a barber at The Exclusive Way on the South Side, has been incorporating Spurs designs into haircuts, charging an additional $5 to $10 for the custom artwork. Castro’s passion for art has been a guiding force in his career, and a client’s request for a Spurs logo haircut sparked this creative venture.

Castro explained that the success of these designs can depend on the client’s hair type, with darker hair often providing a bolder canvas. “Doing big designs like this is fairly easy. It’s if you just take it line by line, shape by shape. It’s all the same thing,” Castro shared. His client, Makaveli Gutierrez, expressed full confidence in Castro’s skills, noting the quality of past haircuts.

Beyond Logos: Expanding Creativity

Meanwhile, RJ Martinez at Buena Gente Barbershop in Boerne is also embracing the Spurs spirit. With over 25 years of experience, Martinez offers designs that extend beyond simple team logos, including depictions of Hemisfair, the Alamo, and even an alien to represent Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. Pricing at Buena Gente varies based on the complexity of the design, with some custom creations reaching up to $80.

Both barbers encourage clients to bring photos of their desired designs and to schedule appointments in advance. This creative initiative not only highlights the barbers’ artistic talents but also strengthens community ties through shared team pride.
