Bixby Barber - Barber cut - Barbers Near Me

Excellent haircut, good conversation, fun atmosphere. Can't ask for more! I'll definitely be back.

Rachael is always consistent and takes quality and time with each client. I have always had a great haircut with her each time! Thank you

I have been with Rachel since before she opened her own shop. There is no better barber on the Peninsula. She goes above and beyond for her clients. ESPECIALLY HER "DAY ONES"... SHE HAS VERY HIGH STANDARDS. I love this shop! The vibe is very much old school barber, with all the standards you'd expect, coupled with a new feel. She puts you first in every way when you're in her chair. A barber that takes appointments as well as walk-ins, you couldn't ask for better service. Best straight razor shave, period. -Tal read more

Bixby Barber is an amazing shop in Carmel. Rachel, the owner, has great skill and customer service. It was easy to make an appointment by calling the shop. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted to the very classic, nice barbershop. Rachel has great confidence is being able to give me the style of haircut I wanted. I wanted a drop fade (which not many barber can do in this area) with a clean-up on my comb over. She wonderfully executed that; I will post pictures later on. The best part was that I got a hot towel treatment, straight razor, massage, and even a glass of whiskey! I'm glad to have a go to barber in this area finally. 10/10. read more

My boyfriend was very happy with his haircut. We drove to here from San José and it was worth it! He usually has a problem with hairdressers not cutting enough hair off and just doing their own thing rather than being concerned about what he wants. He said that the hairdresser Rachel was very meticulous and asked him to make sure it was short enough. His haircut looks so much better than I've ever seen. Hopefully we can find somewhere like Bixby closer to us; we might actually come back to Carmel occasionally for his haircuts! read more

Rachel is simply the best barber in the Carmel-Monterey area. You may have to wait to book an appointment, but the quality and atmosphere is worth the wait. If you are reading this, BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW!!! read more

After scrolling through Yelp and Google options, I'm really glad I brought my boyfriend here to get a (much needed) haircut. I love a place that has style and good vibes.

Definitely recommend. read more

Bixby Barber - Barbers Near Me

I was visiting my sister around the area and I needed a haircut. My sister doesnt know any barber around the area so I decided to look up for one and I found Bixby barber. Bixby is at the heart of Carmel by the Sea. It is near a lot of store. There are a lot of street parking around the area, so you do not need to worry about parking. It is also easy to locate. If you are from out of town and need a haircut during your visit here I recommend this place! The decor of this place is really nice, I really dig it! The owner Rachel is also the one who cut my hair! She is really nice and the haircut was really nice. I was not expecting anything special from this place, but Rachel was really nice! She offers water or beer! I really love this place and I wish I lived around here ! I definitely going to go back to this place when I am intown! read more

Terminally loyal. That best describes my relationship with hair professionals over the years. That said, when it's time for a change the decision is a serious one - especially when the number of hairs left on the head is in seemingly rapid decline. And, just so we are on the same page, the last time I was in a "barber" chair was at age five, having spent years going to 'stylists'. From the appointment process (they take those), to the vibe of the shop (mid-century mellow), to the actual cut (excellent), I do believe I've found my new hair pro. If you're a 50 something guy, ready for a change of follicle scene, make your way over to Rachael's capable chair. My guess is you, like me, will not be disappointed. read more

Took my muggle sweetheart for his first barber shave at Bixby. Rachel with the magic hands made that scruffy lover into my Adonis. Sooo smoooth, so relaxing and great music playing. This sweet little place reminds me that being a bearded lady might be fun if I could have Rachel shaving my face. Hot towels, massage, foamy lather and the lightest touch, ahhhh! read more

Classic Barber in the heart of Carmel. I've been going to Rachel for a year now. Rachel has created the quintessential authentic barber and her barbering skills are outstanding. The environment is light and refreshments of your choice abound. I have repeatedly had the best haircut in years and am thrilled to have found Rachel @ Bixby. I have recommended Bixby to many friends and acquaintances. Rachel is extremely popular and booked up weeks in advance - please do yourself a favor and go onto their easy to use website and secure a booking in advance. It's a great system and I just rebook each time for around the same time 4 weeks later and never have a problem with my reservations. Anthony who also works at Bixby is also popular (not surprising given that it's the best barber south of San Francisco), so do book him in advance too. Thanks Bixby Barber for adding to Carmels charm and quality with a quaint professional offering. read more

Fantastic haircut! Found this place on yelp! Came as a walk-in, waited only 15 minutes for the perfect haircut. Friendly, clean, experienced. Not to mention, my haircut would've costed $75 at a salon and this cut was better for only $25. Definitely telling all my friends! read more

Rachel is a great barber and really took the time to tailor the haircut to my needs. Conversation was great, atmosphere was great, haircut was great. 5 stars without a doubt. read more

Great local full service barber. Will definitely be back for a Straight Edge Shave and a Cut!

Absolutely the best place to get a haircut. Relocated back to the area recently and it's always difficult to find a barber that works for you. Just happened to stumble upon Bixby, and I am glad I did. Old school cut, with fair prices and veteran, fire and police friendly discounts. read more

This new shop is great! Clean, cool, professional. Rachel is skilled with the blades! Highly recommend!

Stopped by while my daughter was dancing nearby. Was greeted right away by Rachel and her husband. Didn't have an appointment but she took me right away. The shop was really clean and the decor made it feel like a classic barbershop. She really listened to see what kind of haircut you wanted and even offered some suggestions. I just found my new barber! read more

Since moving from the Bay Area a few years ago, I've been in search of a great barber. Rachel at Bixby Barber, is hands down the best in the area.

Perfect blend of "old" - and "new" - school barber experience. The shop is very well designed and appointed - refurbished antique chairs and counter. Rachel is attentive and very experienced. She listens to what you want and executes perfectly. Great attention to detail. I travel the world, you won't get a better cut anywhere! read more

An excellent haircut, a solid shave, Jamieson neat and Rachel wasn't a disappointment either. Quite the haircut in downtown Carmel.

She's the best! Great atmosphere and she has an awesome personality and of course, I love the way she cuts my hair and trims me up!

Rachel is an extremely talented barber, and her shop is great! Beer or water is offered while you're there, prices are reasonable, and you won't be disappointed with your haircut! Appointment system is very easy to use, and the shop is pretty easy to find in Carmel. Highly recommended. read more

This place is incredible. I walked up on a whim one afternoon and Rachel apologized because she was fully booked for the day. I left and went down the street to do some window shopping, and a few minutes later she actually came outside looking for me to say she'd had a cancellation and could take me right away! That alone got her high marks in my book, but the haircut she gave me was incredible and her calm demeanor while she did it was exactly what I was looking for. She even turned me onto a pomade that I really liked and I'm Not a hair product kind of guy. I really can't recommend it highly enough. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. As a male who has cut their own hair for over a decade, it's nice to be able to go into a barber shop and know that I'll be pleased with the end result. From the styling to the products available, this shop is top notch. read more

I was visiting Carmel from out of town and stumbled upon Bixby Barber. The owner, Rachel, was kind enough to fit me in. The shop was super relaxed, with a fun retro vibe. Great artwork, furnishings, and original barber chairs added to the atmosphere. Rachel was a joy to work with. She was very responsive to my requests, made sure I had something to drink during my stay, and gave an excellent haircut. She takes great pride in her craft and takes great care with each client. I encourage you to stop by Bixby Barber for a trim. The shop is a bit tucked away but this is one hidden gem I'm glad I found! read more

Rachel is just simply the best! I have given up going anywhere else. Even now that Bixby has become popular I am happy to wait.

I recently got my hair cut at this shop and they did a great job. It had been a little while since my last haircut, but the barber working on my hair put in some serious effort to leave me looking great. I went here because it seemed like they specialized in vintage hair styles and longer cuts, and they didn't disappoint. If you want more than a faded buzz, this is the place to go. read more

So stoked to have an amazing barber in town! It was a great laid back atmosphere and I got a GREAT haircut! I will definitely be back and hope that Bixby Barber is here to stay! read more

Was visiting from NYC and needed a quick clean up. I got a great haircut. Friendly staff. Cool vibe. Cold drinks. Fantastic find. Would definitely be my go to barbershop if I lived nearby read more

I needed a haircut and did not want to go to a beauty shop. I found Bixby Barber on a yelp search. Thank god I did. Rachel was a true professional barber. She took her time cutting my hair and made sure I was pleased with my haircut. When I sat down she asked if I would like a beer or shot of Jamieson or Mezcal. I took the beer and it is from a local brewery. After my haircut she does a neck massage. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you Rachel it was a pleasure visiting with you and your husband. read more
