Two streets behind Place Masséna, at 5 rue du Lycée, One Love Barbershop is a Nice institution that has created something rare: a space that simultaneously appeals to everyone. Mixed hair salon, nail bar, barbershop and lifestyle space — One Love is managed by two brothers who have built over the years a venue of strong personality and loyal clientele.
The décor delivers an immediate impact: exposed stone walls, authentic chrome barber chairs, deep red sofa, design lighting, a mix of raw materials and Scandinavian modernity. An immediately Instagrammable setting that sacrifices nothing to functionality. The two rooms offer distinct atmospheres — barbershop side, salon side — for a clientele who can arrive as a couple and leave satisfied together.
The scope is deliberately broad: short men's cuts (€31) and mid-length (€35), beard trim, traditional shaving, but also ash ombré, highlights, colouring for clients seeking more ambitious transformations. The nail bar offers manicure and pedicure for women AND men — a rare offer in a barbershop, attracting a male clientele increasingly comfortable with this type of grooming. Barbers are regularly trained on the latest trends and techniques.
One Love is open Monday to Saturday, with extended hours on Thursday until 9pm — a precious rarity for clients who work during the day.
Short cut €31. Mid-length €35. Beard trim €18–22. Men's manicure €20–30.
Highlights: One Love's décor is consistently cited as one of the most beautiful and original on the Nice barbershop scene — the stone walls and chrome chairs create a memorable atmosphere. The warm welcome of the two brothers and their client loyalty are regularly mentioned. The men's nail bar is described as a genuine added value. The salon's colourists receive excellent reviews.
Areas for improvement: Thursday evening hours are appreciated but some clients would like similar extended hours on other evenings. The multiplicity of services can occasionally create slight waits between different types of clients. Online booking is recommended.
Overall: One Love Barbershop is the most versatile and most inclusive of Nice's barbershops — a venue that breaks down barriers between hairdresser, barber and aesthetic treatment in a truly magnificent setting.
