Anastacio is incredibly knowledgeable about men's hair. Similar to a bunch of men during covid, I started growing out my hair for the first time. From personal experience, guys at your regular barbershops simply do not have the skill/knowledge to handle medium-long hair on men. Not a problem for Anastacio. This guy was laying down knowledge as he was working his scissors. Guys, if you're trying to do something with your covid grown hair but literally having no freakin clue, give this man a visit. The price is well worth it. -Clean station -Knowledge about your hair -A plan to further grow and style your hair -Quality cuts Overall a very good experience! read more

I'm a new client, and I was very impressed with my first haircut. Anastacio is an artist, and from now on I will be a regular.

I've been getting my haircut for years at a small local barbershop and it's was always ehh ok typical experience. And have always been on the lookout for a more precise and artistic touch and then I found Anastacio. If you're looking for someone to take care of you and cut your hair CORRECTLY not just one size fits all then Anastacio is your guy! I can't commend him enough for the pride he takes in his work. As long as he's cutting hair I won't be going to anyone else! Highly recommend read more

Anastacio is legit!! I'm absolutely blown away how amazing my hair feels and looks. My hair is not easy, but Anastacio delivered. Truly Impressive Talent! read more

I had a great haircut experience from start to finish! Anastacio pays great attention to detail and really curated a haircut & plan moving forward based off what I wanted and the type of hair that I have. read more

Anastacio is the man. He is professional, responsive, and most importantly, gives a great haircut. Fees are (in my opinion) very reasonably for the length of appointment and the quality of the cut. His salon is "single chair" which means that right now, during COVID times, it is a relatively distanced environment. Highly recommended. read more

I first met Anastacio at a salon he was working at downtown as he had rave reviews from there. I've went to him pretty much all my years in Santa Barbara while i was attending UCSB. His skill is second to none and he knows all the nuisances of what goes into a good hairstyle down to the science of hair. I've never walked out disappointed from a haircut with him. He knows exactly how to give you what you want and even tailors the hairstyle to fit you. I haven't been able to go see him recently as i've rarely been in SB since i've graduated but i still have not found someone who can cut hair anywhere near his level. On top of that he's just a great person all around. 10/10 recommend read more

So, where to begin? I'm not originally from the Ventura County area and it's been tough to find someone within the area that I can put my ALL into when it comes to getting a haircut. I found Anastacio here through yelp and checked his insta to do more research if this is the person that I wish to get my cut from (as I have noticed throughout the Ventura County to Santa Barbara area most barbers lack the skill in fine quality in what a haircut should represent). So I went with it. Booked an appointment. Got to the location and started right away with the cut. Not my typical interaction but pleasant to say the least. Anastacio was well informative which is great don't get me wrong but he was a bit much too informative throwing technicality and all sorts of terminology all around (fluff) as if that's supposed to impress me. The scissors should do the talking not your mouth. Plus, he did some time micromanaging with what we had already spent I'll spare the rest of the details. To save some people here, this is NOT worth a $75 cut for what I got. My dudes down in L.A. do a way better job for less and know what they are doing with scissors and clippers. The dude butchered my neckline, I just can't understand what happened back there? Yeah, I took the chance sure but definitely not worth the price that I paid. At first glance of the day of the cut everything seemed to look OK, but the next day I definitely notice quite a number of flaws. Very so-so disappointed I gave him a 2 star because overall the dude is nice and I'm sure he means well but I'm not impressed really. If you are looking for a hairdresser (hair salon/ new age hairstyles) this is your guy. But, if you are looking for a barber (classic cut/ an actual brick & mortar) this is not your guy, stay away. Just being honest. PS he has only been cutting for 3 years. Should tell ya how much more time he needs to perfect this profession. read more

Best haircut I've ever had, only gets better with time. Hair grows out really well too. Worth the money read more

Anastacio provides great information on how your hair individually works and things to think about with styling. He brings both a skill set as someone who has knowledge in hairstyling and has the background of cutting both men's hair as a barber and as a stylist. He has an attention to detail and listens to the style you want. I'd recommend Anastacio! read more

I've been going to Anastacio to get my haircut for years. He is very organized, clean, and sociable. I didn't know what a good haircut could do for my confidence and well being until I met Anastacio. Would recommend him a million times over! read more

I was first introduced to Anastasio as a walk in client at his former salon and was impressed with his passion and approach to learning more about me and my expectations. The quality of the haircut was immediately noticed by my family and admittedly the change was welcomed. Over the past 3 years I have become an admirer of his methodical approach to each head of hair and look forward to each visit knowing the outcome will be as impressive. Highly recommend Anastasio to anyone seeking a superior experience. MJS read more

Took me 4 or 5 to find the right person who could cut my hair and not just use an electric razor. Anastacio is great and absolutely worth a try if you're struggling to find the right cut. read more

It's been well over a year and a half of less than great haircuts, disappointments and misses, as I've tried to find someone who can cut/style my hair with some thought and purpose. I found that today with Anastacio. I walked away beyond impressed not just with the cut, but his passion for what he does, his attention to detail and his incorporation of my comments and goals into the cut. I'm certain I finally found my go-to guy to a fresh, well thought out, and fashionable cut. A great guy to speak with on top of it all. read more
