About Us — Babylon Classic Cuts

A Family Tradition in Babylon

Babylon Classic Cuts was founded in 2012 by Frank Capelli, who learned the art of barbering from his father's shop in southern Italy. When Frank moved to Long Island, he knew he had to carry on the family tradition.

The shop quickly earned a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship and genuine hospitality. Frank's hot towel shaves became the stuff of local legend, drawing clients from neighboring towns who heard about the experience through word of mouth.

Now with a team of three talented barbers, Babylon Classic Cuts continues to honor old-world techniques while embracing what makes modern barbering great. Every visit is a step back in time — in the best way possible.
