The shop has a very vintage barber shop fee to it. Laid back and a place where clients can come in shot the breeze with the barbers and other clients about whatever game or highlights are playing. The show is totally dog friendly which I appreciate. They (and most of the block) keep dog bowls out for passers by. Carlsbad is such a cool area!

So this…read morehaircut thing started yesterday when I went to my normal barber because it's a good cut at an ok price. I know I get cheap sometimes, and this was one. So I walk in and there is a line of 6 people waiting on four full chairs. No thx! Go to option 2 in Encinitas. 2 chairs, 4 people waiting.... No. Like WAY no! So I call Kris at South Carlsbad Barbers and thought to myself "you get what you pay for.. " I made an appointment for 3pm in a beautiful building with other stylist types and nail salons. All very clean and professional. Need a code to get in. She meets me and gives me exactly the cut I wanted and needed. No waiting, no screaming (Encinitas...) and yes it's a bit more but I learned a valuable lesson that my time is worth more than hoping I get a chair for less. End of story. Happy haircut, happy life!
