Three generations of Gabe Gonzales’ family have kept the San Jose business thriving since it opened in 1953.
When Gabe Gonzales opened Bellarmine Barber Shop in 1953, he wasn’t thinking about starting a business that would last seven decades. He just wanted to stop working 16-hour days for another barber shop so he could spend more time with his young and growing family.

Retired barber Gabe Gonzales, 96, visits Bellarmine Barber Shop on Thursday, March 16, 2023, where the San Jose, Calif. business he opened 70 years ago is now safely in the hands of his daughter Esther Faria, left, and granddaughter, Stacey Gonzales, Esther’s niece. As it marks 70 years in business, Bellarmine Barber Shop is the oldest such business in San Jose.
“I have enjoyed it here, and I’ve got a lot of good customers and a lot of them kept coming back,” Gonzales said. Liccardo’s father, Sal, also still goes to the shop and got a haircut there this week, though he may not have remembered to pick up a blow-pop for his son.
