Updated August 06, 2025, by Christopher Norman Worcester:The Witcher 3 continues to be one of the most popular Action-RPGs available today, years after its original release. It’s a testament to CD Projekt Red’s incredible design and attention to detail that players around the world return to undertake Geralt’s journey over and over. Because of this, we are always examining our most popular Witcher 3 guides, with a focus on improving every aspect and providing the best possible information. This update will include a new video, and restructure the guide to make it more user-friendly.
The most important question Geralt of Rivia should ask himself throughout the course ofThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntis not “how do I kill this terrible monster?” The most important question is “do I look good doing it?” All Witchers know that it’s better to add a bit of panache, a bit of style, to an otherwise drab event like killing afiend.To that end, it’s important, nay crucial, that any self-respecting Witcher knows the exact location of the closest barber at all times. Barbers were initially added toThe Witcher 3through CD Projekt Red’sfamous series of free DLC. With eight locations throughout the game and its expansions, Barbers are something of a rare occurrence that can sometimes be tricky to find.
All Available Beard And Haircut Styles in Witcher 3
Thestyle of haircuts and beards inWitcher 3are the exact same across all of Velen, Novigrad, Oxenfurt, and Skellige. Toussaint uses slightly different words, but the cuts are the same. Prices are as follows:
“Long and Loose”
“Shaved Except for a Ponytail”
“Shaved on the Sides, Short on Top, and a Ponytail”
“Wanna be Clean Shaven”
“A Bushy Goatee and a Short Mustache, Please”
“Friendly Mutton Chops Sound Good”
“Want a Mustache and a Soul Patch”
Geralt’s beard will grow back from a clean shave, but if you set it to a specific style, it will stay that way until he receives another clean shave.
All Witcher 3 Barber Locations: Velen
Claywich:
The only barberlocated in Velen propercan be found in the small village of Claywich. However, utilizing this particular stylist comes with a small catch: he must first be freed from captivity. Look for a question-mark south ofHanged Man’s TreeandMulbrydale.
Here, Geralt will find aPerson(s) in Distresspoint of interest. The man being held is Claywich’s barber. Once he is freed, give him at least 24 in-game hours to reach his final location.
Barber Locations: Oxenfurt
Shop Location:
The barber is located in the heart of the city, just south ofThe Alchemy, denoted on the map by a mug of beer. The scissor symbol that usually marks the location of a barber is often missing from the main map until Geralt gets close enough to see it. He offers the same cuts as the barber in Claywich.
Barber Locations: Novigrad
The Bits:
The first Novigrad barbercan be found near theOxenfurt gatefast-travel marker, just inside the walls in an area known as The Bits. This drunken “barber” claims he’ll give Geralt a haircut for half price, though when it comes time to pay, he’s suspiciously silent on the matter (and still charges 10 crowns).
Gildorf:
The second barber in Novigrad is located up near theSt. Gregory’s Bridgefast-travel location. Geralt need only see his bow toknow he is Nilfgaardian!
Barber Locations: Skellige
Kaer Trolde Harbor:
Sjusta, the clothing merchant in Kaer Trolde harbor, will cut Geralt’s hair if asked. He offers the same styles as everyone else.
Svorlag:
The second barber in Skellige is located on the small isle of Spikeroog, northwest of the main island. The barber is found in the village of Svorlag, on the eastern coast.
Barber Locations: Toussaint
Tourney Grounds:
The first barberavailable in theBlood & WineDLCcan be found at the tourney grounds, near the arena where Geralt fights the shaelmaar.
Basane Farm:
Basane Farm sits east ofDun Tynne Castle, near a small lake. Geralt can acquire the usage of the barber by freeing this abandoned village of thewerewolfthat occupies it. Once cleared, the townsfolk will return, along with their trusty hair stylist.
Jean-Louis Ludovic
The final barber in Toussaint will only be available after completing the secondary quest “Of Sheers and a Witcher I Sing.” The quest can be initiated by interacting with Le Papillon, who is found near Ludovic’s shop in southern Beauclair. Once the quest is complete, Geralt will have access to the barber’s services.
As a special reward, Ludovic will give Geralt access to the most amazing new haircut:The Queen’s Pageboy.
