Captain Barbershop's new Gading Serpong branch is making waves with a "Pay As You Wish" opening promo! This isn't your average trim; the signature service includes a relaxing hair wash, a massage, and even a hot stone shoulder treatment. This review covers the full experience, from the top-notch service to essential tips on booking ahead to skip the long waits.

Recently, I was scrolling and saw that the new Captain Barbershop in Gading Serpong is having a promotion, and it's actually "Pay As You Wish" (Bayar Suka-Suka)[1]? Anjay, they're really going for it, huh? With a "let's put it to the test" attitude, I just had to check it out.
To dare to run a promotion like this, either they've got some real skills, or the boss is just super generous. As it turns out, they really have something special.
The full-service package is on another level…
The vibe felt right as soon as I walked in. The environment is clean and comfortable, not one of those flashy, over-the-top styles. The barbers all looked sharp and energetic, and were very patient when discussing hairstyles. I chose their signature Premium package[2], an all-in-one service with a wash, cut, and blow-dry.
Never mind the quality of the cut for a moment—the hair wash came with a massage, after the cut, there was a shoulder and neck relaxation session, and the most amazing part was they even used hot stones on my shoulders at the end! Mantap! These service details put 90% of the barbershops in Jakarta to shame. No wonder they've been able to open 137 branches; it truly has the air of a "Gentleman's Home."
But, I have to mention the downsides
Although the service was top-notch, there was one detail that almost drove me crazy… The toy car they have for kids in the shop, its horn sound is seriously annoying. There happened to be a kid next to me who pressed it from start to finish, and I felt like my brain was rattling along with it[3]. For guys looking for an ultra-quiet experience, this might be a bit annoying. Instant -10 points from the experience.
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls & Save Time
Overall, while the new branch opening promotion is still on, it's definitely worth going to Nongkrong for a bit and experiencing the full service. For those of you who've been, let's chat in the comments section?
- Book in advance! It gets super crowded on weekend afternoons and evenings, the wait can be forever, and the barbers might rush a bit because they're so busy[4]. I highly recommend using their own app to book in advance[5], don't just show up and wait.
- Check out their in-house products. They have their own line of pomades and hair oils[6]. If you like how they styled your hair, you can grab a jar on your way out. It's better than buying random stuff elsewhere.
- Pay attention to holiday hours. During holidays like Christmas and New Year's, their opening hours might change[7]. It's best to check their IG before you go to avoid a wasted trip.
- Get a full wash, cut, and style, plus a surprise hot stone shoulder compress. This detail alone beats 90% of Jakarta's barbershops [1].
- Grand opening special: "Pay As You Wish" [2]! You set the price for your cut—a deal you can't miss.
- Clean, comfy vibe. Barbers patiently discuss your desired hairstyle, not like those flashy, over-the-top Barbershops.
