Best of Boston

Designed in the image of eccentric founder Van Capizzano, the South End’s Tribe offers a pitch-perfect environment for its artsy, carefully coiffed clientele (think: porcupine quills, novelty mounted fish, and other antique knickknacks foraged from New England flea markets). But it’s not all quirky window dressing: Capizzano, who comes to his outré style by way of the Lower East Side’s eclectic barbering scene, is a perfectionist with a blade and knows his way around warm lather and soothing salves.
