I came in last minute to get a buzz for my friend's wedding and Jack did a great job! They gave us beer while we waited and they have a nice couch for waiting. I definitely recommend going here for undercut designs, thanks guys!! read more

Blacktree Barber - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

So glad I found these guys! I tried a few others, and after a little process of elimination with the exact style I wanted (totally my fault), Sloan worked his magic, and I've been getting the exact same cut for over a year now! Would highly recommend, Sloan takes my ideas and let's me know exactly how to work them. And he gives good hugs, so that's all you really need. read more

By far the best barber shop I've ever been to in my life. All of the barbers are masters of their trade. They take their time when cutting your hair and they make sure it looks great. Recommend making an appointment, walking in may have you waiting for quite awhile. Like I said these guys take their time. If you want a quick cheap cut, go to super cuts or something. If you want an excellent cut then this is your place. I think this place is awesome and don't think I'll ever need to find another barber to go to. read more

The best cuts from the best folks. Stopped in last night during the walkabout and got to experience this place first hand. Great guys work here; hospitable, helpful, great vibes, and G's got magic fingers. Come here and say hi to your new forever barber. read more

I was in the area from out of town. I usually only trust my local barber with my beard, but Giacomo did an amazing job with it. Super friendly and good conversation. Even gave me a hug when I left. The shop itself is also very nice. Highly recommend! Also, I'm a poker dealer and their business card is a playing card design, which I thought was pretty cool. Price was also right in line with what I pay in Tulsa, OK. read more

I'm in town from Texas, and was in need of a haircut. My wife and I stopped in right after they had closed and met G. He was super friendly and asked us to call tomorrow and make an appointment if we wanted. I did and went in for a cut and shave. Honestly, it was one of the best cuts I've gotten in my life. G was friendly and talkative and genuinely interested in us. He took his time and delivered a great experience. If I was local, this would be a regular spot for me! All the staff was very friendly and cordial. read more

Well, this is the first crappy review I've ever written on yelp. And it took me three weeks to get to it, I'm not a big complainer. But I'd have to say a rule of thumb for getting a haircut would be: a friendly Barber can get away with giving me a slightly crappy haircut, however a crabby unfriendly Barber sure is hell a to give me the best haircut I've ever had in my life. I went in before the last holiday weekend, to get a haircut and a beard trim and left both feeling like shit and having to re-cut my own hair. I think the barber said one word to me. I thought this was really strange because I've been going to him to get my haircut for several years and referred several customers to him. What made it really annoying, was that I've gone to the trouble to make an appointment and at the barber double booked that same appointment. So I had somebody staring at me through my entire haircut giving me the evil eye as if I was there taking his appointment time. That's not cool. I actually went in there to feel better, came out feeling worse. I would never have cut my beard if I thought it was going to have such a shitty cut. I'm very particular about that even took a nick out of my mustache where I specifically asked him not to. read more

First time here and I am impressed! Outstanding attention to detail in delivering a great haircut! I enjoyed the shop's vibe and barber's conversation. They scheduled me the same day that I called, and attended to me quickly when I arrived. They are open on Sundays, which is a plus! Also their location is great for going out to grab some food (or a beverage!) afterward. I live about 20 minutes from this location, but will still be a repeat customer. If you're looking for a expert to deliver a top notch haircut, then you've found the right place! Everyone needs a good barber, a lawyer, doctor, and accountant - here's your barber! read more

I have been here 4-5 times and I left with a great haircut each time. I've seen both JC and Sloan. Not sure how to spell that. Anyhow the shop has a great style and they all are friendly and nice to work with. read more

I was out for a run and saw their COVID outdoor setup. Things looked legit and so I went ahead and asked if they can trim my preCOVID cut mop. They were willing and able to accommodate my sweaty hindquarters right then and there. They hooked me up with one of the best fades I've had all while workin around my face mask. Will definitely visit again. read more

Punctual, Friendly, and very hospitable. Appointment was met right away by Sloan and he did a real good job on my haircut. The ambiance is dope at this place, highly recommend it if you're in the South Park area, I'll definitely be back for another cut. read more

Met JP one night, and he gave me his card to come check out the shop. The moment my friends and I came in, we were greeted by Sloan and were made welcome. All of the guys are skilled from what I could. My friends got their haircut by JP and G. I can speak moreso to Sloan as he who is gave me my haircut. Sloan understood what I wanted and gave me the options of how I could cut & style my hair. Definitely coming back. read more

Love this place, super friendly and getting an appointment has been easy. And G is the bomb at barbering!

Great location and uniquely decorated shop! It's located across the street from the Whistle Stop bar, you can't miss the barber pool outside the front door. The barbers are all very attentive and provide great feedback. Ambiance is delightful, prices are standard, barber's are knowledgeable and experienced, and you get a beer with your shave/cut, can't beat it! Check out the cool artwork on the side wall, great for pix. read more

Great vibe, laid back atmosphere, and my cut was perfect. I got my cut from JP and I will be back

We pass this place almost daily on our walking route, and I was attracted to their signs, decor & friendly neighborliness. I managed to talk my significant other into a haircut after seeing a very handsome photo of him taken more than 20 years ago. He has beautiful white curly hair. Sorry I couldn't "paste" the before photo. BUT...people, old & young, have started at him and, on many occasions, told him that he looks just like Einstein! That's very, very BIG, white curly hair. A couple of days before the haircut, he shaved off his Covid beard, too, all shaggy & scruffy under his chin, & left only the moustache he couldn't part with. On the big day, we were made very comfortable & treated royally by everyone in the shop, especially Charlie, the owner. JAC set about his mastery & gave a command performance. The result was a gorgeous haircut! It felt like I was sleeping with a different man. One of the best benefits when we are sleeping is that I don't feel as though I'm choking on his hair! Thanks for a great experience, guys! read more

Blacktree Barber - After shot. Don't know if I can get a before. - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

First time here, definitely will be back for my regular haircuts. G was awesome, great haircut artist and chill dude. Owner is also approachable, relax spot and ends with more than exceptional haircut. Not going to Floyd's again! read more

Best barber-shop, hands down! Ask for JP! I've been following JP for about 8 years now... and this place is awesome. He cuts your hair, the exact way you want it. :) read more

This barber shop is great, barbers are skilled and helpful. Got a cut from JP and it was on point. Wait time wasn't bad at all. Enjoyed the hospitality and the vibe. Great spot for a cut read more

G is the best! I have been coming to him for about a year since I moved to San Diego. He is a perfectionist and always gives the cleanest fades. I appreciate the time and attention he gives to every detail. I won't let anyone else touch my hair! read more

I drive from just outside Poway to get my hair cut here. The attention to detail, combined with being an expert with the clippers produces the best haircut I've had. This was my third visit and my only regret was not tipping more. After a beer and a great haircut, 20% was not enough and I'll be sure to make it up to you on the next one. See you in 3 weeks read more

On the recommendation of a friend I was referred to Sloan at Blacktree Barberia for a beard trim. I went in really pretty scruffy and haphazard and came out a new trimmed up man. On top of it I got a straight razor shave. If you haven't experienced this I suggest you do! I am going to count on Sloan to keep my beard in tip top form read more

By far the best barbershop in San Diego! You'll love everything about it. Great atmosphere! All of the barbers are masters of their craft. My barber is T Bird and he never disappoints. He truly has BARS! Blesses every time! Highly recommend this barbershop. read more

Sloan gave me a great haircut! These guys know what they're doing with fades, buzzcuts, hard part shaved lines, etc. I'll definitely be back. read more

Giacomo turned my mop into the perfect gentleman's haircut! I love it. Ill be back asap!!!

Best haircut I've ever gotten. Full cut and shave takes a while, but Giacomo is a perfectionist and the results are worth it. I love everything about this place and I hope they stick around a good long while. read more

Walked in with a shitty haircut from earlier in the day, dude hooked me up and got me looking smart again. Solid shop. Backed hard.

Sloan is the man and he took really good care of me. Especially for haircut that I have been trying out for the last couple of years and my prior stylist couldn't figure it out. He did it right on the spot. My wife said it was the best haircut I've ever received. read more

I've never wrote a review before but I was given probably the best haircut I've had in years here. Absolutely my new spot and you get free beer read more

Discovered this unique spot BEFORE they opened. Walking by the decor caught my eye through the window. Ended up in the chair a couple months later and have been returning ever since. The vibe is on point: a throwback gentleman's barber shop with a certain style that screams San Diego. Have had my hair cut by several of the barbers and each time I have left looking even better than the time before. I highly recommend for anyone in the area as well as for someone new to town looking for a go to barber shop! read more

I'm not one to write a lot of reviews because opinions are kinda like aholes, everyone's got one. But when I go to a place I really like I'll go out of my way to drop a review. So I gave Blacktree a try about a month ago after my usual barber quit his job at Floyd's 99. Blacktree was conveniently just down the street from my place but I was a little skeptical to try it at first as it seemed small from the street. Also, based on experiences at other places like Mr. brown's I thought it would be kinda pretentious and take forever to get an appointment and I just don't have time to make appointments that far in advance. My hair was getting out of control so I finally called and got ahold of Charlie, the owner. He was super friendly and it was no problem to get an appointment on a busy Saturday afternoon. I got there, and immediately was offered a beer and/ or bottle of water and was introduced to J.P. , who was going to be cutting my hair. I didn't really know what kind of cut I wanted so I just told him to clean it up a bit and basically just do what he thought would be best. This has bitten me in the ass a few times, but I figured, what's the worst that can happen? Plus, he's a professional so, he should know what looks best. I was pleasantly impressed. The haircut was spot on and more importantly, my girlfriend loved it! The other thing is that this place is filled with all sorts of cool, unique antiques and artwork including the chairs, which are pretty big and comfy. I figured I had a good haircut last time, so I went back today to get another haircut, again no problem to get in, but this time JP was booked so I got Giaccamo instead. Again, I told him to just do what he thought would be best and again I was pleasantly surprised! Again, my girlfriend loved it, so I'm stoked! Bottom line, for the price, this is the best barbershop experience I've ever had. When you don't have a lot of time to schedule haircuts a week or more in advance, let alone fit them into your schedule, It's great to know that you are in good hands no matter which barber you get. read more

I 100% recommend this place for guys to have a great experience. I had my hair styled by "G" who did an amazing cut and style. I walked in thinking I was going to get a standard cut, but I asked G his opinion about changing it up and he gave me a suggestion. I trusted him and went with it and when it was done, I was blown away! This guy is an artist! The craftmanship he displayed was evident of this. He truly has a passion for what he does and it shows. And, to top it off, he is a cool $#@ dude!! Thanks G! read more

Wow, Giacomo gave me the best haircut in my life.....his energy & enthusiasm was a pleasure...what a skill he has with cutting hair...I'm hooked...& speaks Italian too...Mille grazie Eric read more

Sloan Coon is awesome! Incredible atmosphere! Definitely have found my new go to barber.

They give good cuts but I had been going there for a while. On several occasions I would go there and make an appointment with a barber who had cut my hair before and would say I got you, come back at a certain time. I would show up at my appointment time and the barber I made the appointment with would say, oh I gave you to another barber. The new guy who had never cut my hair before. Four times that happened. The last time I complained and was told if you don't like it leave. I always tipped these guys well. Won't be back. read more

Awesome experience. I had about 20 pounds of bed head on me and G worked magic and sculpted my gigantic head into something beautiful. Extremely chill and cool atmosphere, I'll definitely be back for the cuts and vibe. Can't recommend the shop enough. read more

I recently got married and, as a gift to my groomsmen, I wanted to arrange a service to get them shaves, haircuts, or beard trims. After trying unsuccessfully with another business, I hit up Blacktree on Facebook messenger to see if they could help out. Within ten minutes somebody got back to me with an enthusiastic "YES". Every single dealing I had with these guys was top notch. Arranging the service, hanging out with the gang, the head-shave and beard trim, and payment were a complete breeze and as much fun as they had these dudes were professional as hell. I can't say enough about how much we all enjoyed it--not to mention how sharp we all looked afterward. Giacomo and the fellas hooked it up. The arrival beers...the nice bottle of whiskey...the camaraderie....the bullshitting...Pulp Fiction on TV....pulling out nosehairs....I can't say enough great stuff about it. From top to bottom it was a memorable and fun experience. I can't recommend these guys more highly. Thanks again for a great experience, my dudes. read more

best place in north park, if not all of san diego, to get a haircut or shave. barbers and owner are very nice and welcoming!

Just had the best haircut and beard trim/line up IN MY LIFE! Giacomo hooked it up, all I had to say was "work your magic, I trust you." And damn. I don't need to go anywhere else. They win. read more

This place is an experience for sure. Barberia /man cave. I drive 40 mins from Escocdido to see Giacovellia (G). He is a true artist in his trade and has a passion for it. read more
