I took my 8 year old son here for a haircut. He has had a few terrible haircuts this past year. With one resulting in baby bangs! After growing his hair out I found Niko and booked an appt. Nico was AMAZING! He did an excellent job, was the first person to cut my son's hair who didn't rush through his haircut. He took his time and was wonderful with my son. He chatted him up and made him feel comfortable in his chair. Highly recommend Niko! read more

Good place to get your haircut. Niko does a good job and atmosphere was great. I recommend checking this studio out!

I've been getting my hair cut by Niko for almost two years now, starting from when he was at Locals Barbershop in Pleasanton, and I couldn't be happier. Niko consistently does a fantastic job every time. He's not only skilled but also super dedicated to his craft, always looking for ways to improve and making sure his clients leave happy. Beyond the haircuts, the conversation is usually the highlight of my visit. We've had some great chats while I'm in the chair and he can talk about anything, which makes the experience even better. If you're looking for a barber who's both talented and genuinely cares, Niko's your guy! read more

Would definitely recommend. Have been getting my haircut with Niko for probably 2 years now, and followed him to his independent shop. What sets him apart is his attention to detail, the precise trims around the face and beard; solid service for example hot towel (and I don't get the same at other barbers who cost the same or even more, and tend to just be rushing through it all) Also as a barber I can tell Niko is committed to his craftsmanship, continuously getting better. He also happens to be hilarious and easy to talk to, we always have some kind of funny and/or deep conversation. read more

Niko is not only the best barber in the bay area, but also his personality and his vibe light up the room. I moved to the bay two years ago, and I needed a barber to cut my hair. I found Niko randomly on google search, and he has been my barber ever since. If you ever need a haircut and look good, look no further. Niko is your guy! read more

Very nice and detailed haircut and beard-trimming. Someone who loves his job and does it with passion. God bless!

Great haircut and enjoyed the conversation I had with you! I'm a very picky person with haircuts and this one went absolutely flawlessly. Can't wait to come back! read more

There is so much I can say about Niko at Bay Area Barber Studio but I think I'll just tell the story of how he won me over as a client for life. My years long barber relocated to Chicago and I was dreading starting the search for a replacement. I do not have easy hair to work with. It grows thick, curly and wild. It also grows in irregular and opposing directions. As Niko so eloquently put it once, "it looks like two hurricanes colliding." I booked an appointment with Niko on a whim after procrastinating and growing a seriously unkempt mess on my head. During my first appointment with him, he spent at least 10 minutes studying my head. Of course he asked me what I wanted done but he put in a concerted effort to understand my difficult locks before even picking up scissors or a clipper. All of that studying paid off because that first haircut was as if I'd been working with him for years. After his genuine hard work and spectacular results, he won my business forever. Despite the quality of that first cut, he has somehow gotten even better at cutting my hair as time has progressed. I recently got married and had a bit of a timing dilemma when it came to getting my hair cut before hand. I was headed out of town and the only timing that would work was to see Niko a whole 6 days before the event. When I told him the cut would need to last almost a week, Niko took a minute, devised a strategy and dove in. He knew exactly what changes to make in order to time the grow out period to perfection. He thought of small things that I would have never imagined. For instance, he shaved the bottom of my sideburns against the grain with a straight razor to halt the growing for as long as humanly possible. Needless to say, the plan worked and my hair was immaculate for the big day. In addition to being a true master of his craft, Niko is one of the kindest, most genuine and hospitable people I have ever met. He has transitioned from being my barber to being my friend. His studio is well lit, tastefully appointed and always has something cool on the TV. He's inherently curious and is a brilliant conversationalist. It's clear he is very driven to succeed and hone his craft. If you're looking for a true professional to take care and provide you with fantastic service, Niko is your guy and Bay Area Barber Studio is the place. read more

Niko is the best barber I've been to in the Bay Area! He's great to talk to while you're getting a cut and takes a lot of time and care to get the details right. He's given me the best fades I've had anywhere and I've gone to shops all throughout SF and Oakland that charge much higher rates for less attention to detail. Give this dude your business and you won't be disappointed! read more

Great cuts, shaves, and vibes. Niko's really easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about his clients. He always makes sure he's on the same page with you and that you leave happy. Treats you right from start to finish. read more

I have been going to Niko for a few years now, He is hands down the best barber in the bay area as well as great price! He listens to exactly what you want done and does good detail. He is super easy to talk and knows what he is doing. read more

I've been going to Niko for a while and have never been disappointed. I've changed my hair style a few times and he's had no problem listening to what I want and exceeding expectations. I keep my hair longer on top and tight on the sides, and he does a great job at blending and making my hair seem natural. He also does a great job at shaping and styling my beard. Beyond giving great cuts, Niko is also a great guy to hangout with. Instead of a haircut being a chore, I actually look forward to it! Definitely check out Bay Area Barber Studio. read more
