I can't speak for all the people there, but I did a walk in and got Karina one time and have been going back to her ever since. She does a great job; clean, easy, & not over-priced. I've been there enough to see the other barbers work and would generally recommend giving it a shot. The place is cool, too. It's got everyone from kids to loud old guys talking story any given weekend. read more

Excellent haircut and able to accept walk-ins. We tried cutting our Son's hair and results were catastrophic, luckily Arturo saved us from total humiliation and shame. Thanks Arturo! read more

Going off of my last review, I spoke with owner and asked for a refund and he insisted on having them "fix" my hair with their "best" barber. I told him I want a refund and he ignored me like I was talking to a wall. Never go to this barbershop. It's unpredictable, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. Now this guy is lying insinuating that I supposedly do this often. The truth is I don't trust any of the barbers at this point and have been told by multiple people that if I go back most likely it could look worse so I'd rather not take my chances and ask for my money back that's it. read more

They cut my husbands hair for a long time , fair price and they do a good job. Arturo is a great guy and he and Claudio do a great job on my husband who has a difficult head to cut. Thanks for always taking care of him read more

The service requested was very good I just texted my barber Joe and the next day I got in very first thing in the morning. The vibe was super nice and cool I really liked the vibes because everybody is so chill and if you need something they will get it for you. Joe is very nice and chill I really like the way he did my hair he gave me a fluffy fringe. That's why I gave Arturo's a 5 star review. read more

Well I've gotta say it's my 2nd bad experience at a barbershop. I'll tell you why, my barber looked like he was sleepy and man oh man. It was all good at first, greetings and how would you like your hair cut today. . . . I showed the left photo and told him I wanted 0.5 guard starting at mid to high. Then my barber started at 2 guard which is a good thing. But he stopped after doing a 2 and starting to grab his scissors. . "Oh, the front hair length MUST be half of my forehead PLEASE!" I ordered. . . . Everything is about to go down. . My guy held my hair like one of the Turkish barbers you saw on the Internet, cutting, chopping,... the length was okay but he didn't think so. And, ye now I have Simon Cowell with a tapered fade and a long ahh back head. Thank you Mr. Barber! I like how warm-welcoming they were to the customers. P/s: I didn't wanna show my real hair cut cuz I respect the barber, just wanna tell a story. :) read more

New to town, found this place and got a nice solid haircut. Nice attention to detail on the edges. Great relaxed experience.

It always lighten up my mood when I get a haircut, but this was not the case this time when the barber Claudio was done with my haircut. I asked if he shape up my eyebrows. He got angry he had a razor in his hand and threw it to workstation as he said "you just made me lose a client" as someone was walking into the shop and him telling me this as he prepping the chair to clean my eyebrows. I was furious like he is not cutting my hair for free. I had been came a regular been coming in every week for quite some time. I would ask every other time if he can clean my eyebrows and it was this time it seemed to be a problem for him. But For him to tell me that really upset me and made me angry in how frequent I had been going in with him specifically and for him to treat me that way is not okay at all!! From a customer service standpoint this dude is not professional at this is flat out wrong If that makes you angry for requesting shaping eyebrows put a price that makes it worthwhile to not put up with bull shit. Don't recommend read more

Love love love this place, and the person who cuts my sons hair. My son (he's seven) always asks when he will see him again because he's so friendly and does and AMAZING job with his hair, but their shop needs to work on their phone etiquette. The gentleman who answered the phone this morning was very really rude and had no idea what was going on as far as who would be available for services, then proceeds to tell me thats that's why he didn't want to answer the phone, and cuts me off mid sentence to hand the phone over. I normally don't post negative reviews but this has happened more than once and I love the way one of their Barbers cuts my son's hair. In the future perhaps have people answer the phone who are a little more friendlier and have and idea of what's going on? I give the gentleman a 5star if I could! read more

Arturos Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This place is fantastic. Super comfortable with a big screen to watch sports while you get your haircut. Sergio is the artist that gave me an awesome haircut! He is a very nice guy who really made my hair look great. If you are looking for a cool barbershop with some talented barbers, this is the place! read more

As Santa Barbara Barbershops have gone the way of restaurants which embellish every salad with a lump of Burrata, it's refreshing to find Arturos, which is clean, friendly and big enough to just drop in and (likely) take a chair within 5 minutes. Get what you need, basic or fancy and you're on your way. read more

I have gone through all phases of haircuts with many shitty hairdressers but these are some great guys! Super clean, walk right in and they set me up in less than 5 minutes and finished it in 30. Cleaned me up real nice. I have super poofy hair but they set me up right! highly recommend them! read more

One of the best haircuts I've ever had. Professional, friendly, careful and adept. I'm going to be back!

This is the only barbershop in town I will take my two sons to. They take great attention to detail with each haircut they do. The boys always look great when they are done. We have had worked with each of the barbers and have found that they all do an equally good job. Try it and you won't be disappointed!! read more

We took my 4 year old son to get a haircut here, due to COVID my husband took him in- and I stayed outside with our 2 year old daughter. There was a man working there who not only taunted my FOUR year old son for having his nails painted, but he also had the nerve to come outside and tell me I should not let him paint his nails. I am never bringing my son back here and I suggest you find yourself a different location to get your haircuts, unless you like your cut served with a side of intolerance and judgement. read more

Probably one if the cheapest places in Santa Barbara/Goleta but they aren't that good. Maybe its cuz the person cutting my hair wasnt experienced, but the back of my head is a legit square, and when I asked him to trim the front a but more he took his scissors and just cut stright across and now it looks like a bowlcut. Had to go home and fix it myself. read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT COME TO THIS BARBERSHOP! I asked for a mid-fade and he totally messed my hair up. It is not even on either side, he left hairs uncut around my left ear. Left hairs on the back of my neck to. Usually barbers cut/shave the back of your neck well not this guy. Horrible experience. read more

Thanks karina. I finally have the cut I deserve. Loved talking to you. You totally made my day. Thank you so much. I came in... no appointment. I was seated right away. She took care of my skin to number one fade. Waxed my eyebrows and joked around with me. Super lax. Super chill. Thank you for making sure I was pleased before leaving. That was xtra. Garcia's. read more

If you're looking to get the cleanest fade/haircut in town,check in with my man Joe! He most definitely will take care of you and leave you looking sharp!10/10 customer service. read more

Took my two year old. Barber was very friendly and good with kids. Clean. Good atmosphere. Horse racing on tv. Recommend.

Still upset from my terrible hair cut experience there. It's day two and people still don't recognize me. I came in 4 weeks ago and had a great cut by the young guy, Zack. I walked past and saw they weren't busy, went to the barber in the first chair told him it had been a month and needed my hair just off my collar. I have a box hair cut. BUZZZZZZZZZZ he cut 4" up in the back with electric clipper before I realized then 2" up on the side. My hair is actually 1/4" on the side and 1/2" overhang my ears. If you want a tapered buzz cut with the number 3 attachment, this is probably the only cut he knows. If you want a current hair style, stay away from the grey haired guy in the chair closest to the door, or wait for Zack The worst part is his comment leaving,,,"well that should do you till August" sounds a little passive aggressive. He obviously doesn't know how to use his scissors read more

Everyone in there was amazing and friendly. I can only speak for the woman who cut my hair. She gave me a patchy cut. Not even on either side. It is fixable, but frustrating. read more

The absolute worst customer service ever, I waited well over 25 minutes and the guy finished and took somebody before me. The other customer even said I was first but the barber did not want to take me for some reason. When you walk in they dont even say hi or nothing. read more

I got an excellent cut here on my first visit. Plus, there was no wait time. I will definitely come back.

Called and made a last minute appointment last night. The gent on the phone said joe will take me at 530. I was stoked and was thankful and also looking forward to this experience because it was my 7 year old first hair cut in years. I explained to my son that my dad would take me to these once a month occasions and afterwards we'd go get dinner. So we cruised on in at 525 and spoke to the guy at the front. Told him we were there for an appointment at 530 with joe. He then turned his head and said he joe it's your appointment and the place went quiet. He then said "we only have one joe so your appointment is here". Joe then turned to us and said "he is up next" pointing at the guy sitting down in a chair by the wall "but I can take you after". I then said "why make appointments then" and left. The troubles I went through to make this little window of time work for our family these guys will never know or care. I had to pick our son up early from aftercare and have my wife get out of work early to pick up our youngest from daycare. You guys are a disappointment and are about as soft as mashed potatoes. Oh by the way his school pictures are tomorrow. ‍ read more

This is the first and only place I have gone to since relocating from DC. Two of my friends recommended Arturo's and I can tell why. Great place for a detailed men's cut. read more

Great barbers, quick great affordable haircuts. Manly decorum, but a few female hair dressers.

Friendly and good honest haircuts for reasonable princes. They will even give you a beer while you get your hair cut if you go on a Friday afternoon. If that isn't service I don't know what is. read more

I've been going here for over a year and have never gotten a bad haircut. These guys are super friendly and professional! There's always sports playing on the T.V.s and the place is always looking spotless. I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 15-20 minutes to get a chair here even on busy days! After getting horrible service from SB Barbers I don't think I'll ever change from Arturo's as long as I'm living in SB! read more

I'm not much of a salon kind of girl, but I don't like my hair being butchered as it has been multiple times at the not so Fantastic alternatives. I guess I just don't like spending buckets of money for hair which I tend to abuse anyhow. Someone recommended that I try Arturo's for a basic haircut that I don't hate. I had Sammy cut my hair and was very pleased. She understood what I wanted, and also gave me suggestions about what would look good. I've gone back since and haven't been disappointed. The price is right. I plan to continue going back. read more

Best haircut I've had in a long time. Great care taken. Great attention to detail by trimming loose strands and taking a straight razor around to the back of the neck. Highly recommended! read more

Been coming here for 10+years. Great staff and prices. All the staff are well trained and up to date with the latest hair styles.

they don't wear or require masks -- spreading covid and prolonging the pandemic.

Took my son here on a Sunday, never again will I come back. Took the barber about an 1hr to finish haircut that didn't even look like a haircut. Told him 1 on the sides that actually look like a 4 on the sides. He even messed up on the clean up on the bottom of neck. Every single haircut that I saw come out of this barbershop was horrible. This shop has gone down in quality. Avoid coming here if you can. read more

i called yesterday to ask if i could get my hair washed. (i broke my arm and between not being able to use the arm and my very long hair, I could not wash it and it was driving me crazy). They answered the phone and arranged an wash appmt for the next morning with Zack. i arrived, and altho i was the only female in the shop, everyone was kind and professional. I felt welcome. Zach is so skilled that not a single hair follicle objected and the price was very reasonable. I feel WAY better now. Thanks to Arturo's for being my hero today! read more

You're typical barbershop. Nice atmosphere. Just a tad pricey but what places aren't anymore...

Great shop, casual atmosphere with a good neighborhood feel - no appointments necessary but if you want to go to a dedicated barber it's never bad to check ahead. Josh Mendoza does a great job on haircuts and cleaning lines up for beards. read more

I was looking for a not very expensive yet quality haircut. Trisha delivered just that plus a lot of very helpful tips on how to take care of my hair. She was definitely not rushing through the job; it took 1+ hours but I think the time was well spent. I had some pretty simple requests and they were all met. I am very happy with the resulting haircut and will be coming back. read more
