I really enjoy going to this barbershop. Amparo is a genuinely kind and friendly barber. I used to go to a barber that would charge over $20 for the cut which is fine but it was out of the way. Amparo charges under $20 and does just as good of a job! Amparo does a great job of making you feel at home and relaxed and it's one of the first times that I feel like I can say/correct the cut as necessary (other barbers, you feel like you might feel like you're offending them). Amparo always takes your suggestions and cuts to your specifications. I also enjoy going to this shop as it feels like the neighborhood barber and is locally owned which I love to support. Since she's in the neighborhood, it's nice to be able to walk to and from the barber. I would highly suggest checking this place out! read more

They do amazing haircuts here at the fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere. I've been getting my hair cut here twice a month for 7+ years. read more

First things first, I have no hair on my head. I take a razor to my dome in the shower and haven't paid for a "haircut" in many, many moons. Second things second, I've had a somewhat lengthy beard for about three years now and absolutely hate trimming it myself. I've chopped too much off, I've trimmed my beard to be unbalanced, I've had a crooked neckline, you name it, I've done it. Long story short, no more beard trimming at home! Over the past couple of years I feel like I've done the Mexican barber circuit. Living in the Golden Hill/Southpark area there are no shortage of small mom and pop chop shops and I believe I've hit just about every one at some point in time. Amparo's stands out as being my new "go-to!" Here's the thing. I've had plenty of great beard trims, all of which are better than my own handy work, but the problem is reliability. You can go back and track down at least a handful of glowing barber shop reviews penned by, yours truly, so why did I ever move on? Truth be told, you never know when they're going to be open. Some days I'd show up and there would be a sign on the door at 10am reading, "closed till 2:00pm" or even in one case, "we'll be back in a month." This is all true! Well, this is also where Amparo's is different. They're open when they say they'll be open and I've yet to be disappointed by "flexible" business hours. To top it off, her hands are steady and the price is right. $10.00 and I'm looking (relatively) clean for about two weeks. Can't beat it! read more

I've been getting a fade for 20+ years and I was super impressed. The barber Amparo is Awesome! Stoped by my normal barbers today and he wasn't there. Thought I would give this one a try since it is so close to home. It's always scary trying a new barber however no worries here, Amparo will hook you up with a great cut. I'll be back, every week. Thank you Amparo! read more

Walked in and lady at front said "I don't do your kind of hair, sorry." I'm a half back / half Spanish guy. Enough said. Would give this place 0 stars if able. read more

I came to Amparo because the barber I normally go to was closed that day. Very friendly people and spacious set up, but that is not why I go to a barber shop. I need a very simple haircut, but I definitely had better ones in the past. She went straight for the razor, never asked if I wanted to be scissor cut all the way. I could mention that beforehand of course, but it adds to the quality if they know to ask. Price is definitely a big plus, they do not charge much for a cut. For $15 I was done in 20 minutes. read more

Amparos is the best , with all the waves in my hair its hard for me to get that perfect haircut , Amparo cuts my hair with absolute precision that i never have to put any hair products on my hair it just falls in place, which has never happened before , when I get a cut from her I never need to explain how I want it cut , i just get in her chair and I give her free range to cut and its always perfect. Amparo herself is amazing, nice clean cut , never rushed and every aspect of of the finishing , the cleaning of my neck , side burns , ears , and eyebrows is done to perfection. I've been going to Amparos for 6 yrs now and I couldn't be happier. the perfection even can be seen in the cleanliness of the work station and throughout her shop. I've really haven't been treated so well , Amparo rolls out the red carpet for all her customers , and never a long wait time . ample parking for all . Im disabled and can barely walk but Amparo always goes out of her way to ensure that I and anyone of her customers are comfortable and makes those concessions to ensure that everyone feels at home in her shop. Collectively all these special things she does , in my eyes constitutes Amparo as a Master Barber. thank you Amparo for your Shop and always making me feel special. Scott A read more

I have been coming to Amparos for years! I never tried the other ladies because Amparo knows exactly how I like my hair cut. It's quick, inexpensive and typically never a wait! She's open late too and almost every day so if you need a quick cut because your barber is closed or you have an emergency she's always here :-) Thanks Amparo! read more

This was a great haircut experience! The shop was clean & bright, and my hair looks great. I can't believe I waited so long to try this place. read more

Best barber shop I visited in last 15 years. I'm glad my friend recommended me. From now on I'm doing haircut only at this place. read more

Don't go here!!! She just botched my kids hair after we gave explicit instructions to not cut off his bangs. It was like she cut his hair with kitchen scissors, no layering, no fading, just straight across, and her line wasn't straight on the part. I walked out midway. Terrible and my son was devastated! She just wasn't understanding. I'm now getting it fixed at Thee Inglorious Blacktree Barberia down the street, who have cut my kids hair before. The only reason I didn't go to them to begin with is that we didn't have an appointment and I wanted to try something new in the neighborhood. Lesson learned! read more

It was my first time here and it was great. They cut my hair how i wanted and the service was amazing.

Wanted to give his place an honest try. Walked in and no one was there. Looked around, yelled hello. No one there. Might be a good place to get your haircut but felt that if you're running a business there would be some level of professionalism. May try another day but not a good first impression. read more
