A Barber Named Braulio

I've tried almost every barbershop in Downtown San Jose, and IMO Concept Barbershop is the best…read morespot here. I get a haircut there around every 4-6 weeks, and recommend it to anybody that asks me where to get a haircut in Downtown. Environment Professional, spacious, clean, comfortable. There are two leather couches, a coat hanger, and even a coffee machine there (not instant coffee - real, fresh ground coffee). Service JB is my guy at Concept, and he is not only skilled but he actively maintains me as a client. He documents each cut, familiarized himself with my hair type, and can consistently replicate previous cuts or make adjustments depending on what I'm going for. Usually I just go in with a vague request like "Just a clean up, maybe some shaping on the beard" and he always delivers with something that looks good. I'm satisfied with his work after every appointment.

Get Jac as your barber. Just do it. You'll be glad you did…read more He is super about the details.

The shop is very clean and good-looking, and the rates are pretty well matched to what's reasonable nowadays. When I walked in I was comfortably welcomed for my appointment. Pat is both well educated and well experienced in his trade, and put a great deal of emphasis on the consultation for what I wanted and helping me understand how to style my hair for what I was looking for. I definitely recommend him for a good clean cut, especially if you're looking to understand your hair better for getting what you want.

Want to leave the barbershop with confidence and feeling good about yourself? Braulio, will achieve this for you. I was getting tired of going to shops where they messed up my hair. I felt like I needed to move on to a barbershop. I decided to go to Evergreen Barbershop. Braulio Gonzalez has cut my hair a couple of times now , and there is never a time where I am not satisfied. His services are unique and very professional. Not only in the hair cut it self but the way that Braulio provides his services. If you schedule an appointment with Braulio, the first thing that he does is greet you in a very positive way; I feel like that's so important because he automatically makes sure that the client is comfortable. Braulio will always have a positive attitude towards his client. I've noticed that other barbers just perform the hair cut and there is barely even any communication. It's different with Braulio, during the hair cut he'll have interesting conversations, and he'll give you advice. All of this is so important because it creates a strong relationship with the barber. Braulio is probably the most unique barber there. He demonstrates leadership skills when it's necessary. The thing that I like the most about Braulio is his ability to make the client feel comfortable. Let's not forget the clean cuts that he performs on the clients. I always get a mid fade with a small trim on the top and it comes out just how I want it. A barber that has a great attitude and does an incredible job in cutting hair is the barber that you want. Braulio expempfies all of this. Overall; Braulio is my go to barber now. I'm always excited to get a hair cut with him. Book your appointment with my man Braulio, you won't regret it. read more

I first met Braulio from a referral from my son. I decided to try him out totally based off referral. I was taking a gamble. To be honest my first impression was a good one. He takes time to understand your need and gives his input as well to ensure your needs are met. At end of the process he takes time to receive feedback from his customer to make sure you leave happy with your cut. If he needs to make it better to your liking he has no problem in doing that. I recommend him as he really is a person who stands by his work. read more

I admire his work and dedication. I've been cutting my hair with Braulio ever since and he hasn't disappointed me like other barbers in the bay. He gives you a good vibe enough to trust him with your hair and of course a great hair cut and very friendly. I personally recommend this guy for those who have problems finding the perfect barber. Thanks dude! read more
