I took my minor son to a barbershop for a haircut. Prior to the service, I clearly instructed the barber not to cut my son's hair bald in the back. Despite these explicit instructions, the barber disregarded my request and proceeded to cut my son's hair in a manner I did not authorize. In an effort to remain calm and avoid escalation, I paid for the service and left the premises. However, upon further reviewing the haircut, I became increasingly dissatisfied and contacted the barbershop to request a refund. During this phone call, the owner responded in an aggressive and unprofessional manner, using profane language and stating that I'm broke and I just want a free haircut. He also indicated that the haircut could be fixed, but did not address my request for a refund appropriately. I subsequently returned to the barbershop in person to request a refund. While I was standing inside the establishment, calmly asking for my money back, the situation escalated. The individual shown in the attached screenshot attempted to physically confront and fight me. The owner had to keep pushing him back. In the video you see me ask him why is he walking up on me. And then Sam, the guy who did my son's hair they told him to leave so when I got back, he was already gone. It's 11 AM on a Saturday. you know he just went to lunch real quick and came back. They're playing in peoples faces and stealing peoples money. The individual shown in the screenshot has since contacted me via text message at 3:23 AM using my phone number obtained through my phone call to the shop eailier. This message was unsolicited and constitutes harassment. For any woman why would this man feel OK with texting me at 3 AM cussing me out. He should know. I can easily call Tau and find out who called him today. Which I will be doing first thing tomorrow morning when he wakes up. I will be using these documents in court. The message says I haven't seen him in a while ....okay.... that still doesn't mean I didn't grow up with him since I was 12. My family's been going to him for years. He does not know what he just started right now like literally first thing when he wakes up I'm calling him!!!!! I was simply requesting a refund for services that were not performed as instructed. As a single mother accompanied by my child, I felt unsafe, threatened, and intimidated by the behavior of multiple individuals in the shop. This conduct--including attempted physical assault, verbal harassment, and the misuse of my personal contact information for late-night communication--is unacceptable and may constitute harassment and other violations under applicable law. I intend to pursue this matter in small claims court. Based on my experience and a review of Yelp feedback, this does not appear to be an isolated incident, particularly in cases involving children. I encourage others to share their experiences, as patterns of conduct are important. If anyone has had a similar experience with this business, I welcome them to come forward. read more

Cali Coast Barbershop - Check it out. - Barbers Near Me - Lemon Grove, California

Took our 7 year son for a hair cut, asked for a regular comb over with little bit of a fade and not sure what he was getting. Very respectfully I asked the barber if he could touch up the back and sides, he asked exactly what I wanted. I told him what we were looking for and his response was..." that's an entirely different haircut but ok, I'll do it." After over an hour and a second attempt and still not getting it right we decided to call it good, paid (overpaid) and took him to another barber shop down the street and had them fix it, Yes had to pay again. Will not be going back to this place nor will I be recommending it to anybody. read more

Great service and superb barbers! Steve is my go to guy for my son haircut. However, everyone in the barber shop cuts pretty nice!

First time my son went there yesterday. I don't know what to say. The barber really MESSED UP his hair. He asked mid fade. But. It's not fade at all!!!! My son got curly hair. But barber cut really short and it's not curly anymore!!!! He didn't ask for it to be cut so short. My husband took my son. I was shocked when he came back. I wanted to take a pictures and post it. But, my son refuse to do that. He said he is so embarrassed. We were looking for good barbershop. My boy find this barbershop from yelp. Good reviews. Good hair cut pics. He was looking forward to go there. I feel so sorry for him. Just hope his hair grow asap. Unfortunately, we are not going back this barbershop. Still continue to looking for nice barber. read more

Quera is the Best Barber in Southern California. If she can't cut my hair, I'll just cut it myself. I think Russell cuts my little brother and Father from time to time. He does a great job. For years I've been told to go to Steve but I've never had to because of Quera. So if Quera never cut my hair I probably would've been going to Steve for the last 10+ years. Steve's work is dope! Steve, Q and Russ Might Be San Diego's Big 3. P.S. the other barbers are great too, I'm just more familiar with the Big 3. read more

I appreciate you my man. read more

I've been going to Russell since he graduated barber school. He cuts and styles with passion. The location is perfect being right off the 94 freeway where College and Lemon Grove meet.

RUN THE OTHER WAY... I decided to try a new barbershop and this one happened to be close to my job, worst decision ever. The girl barber took care of me and of course she had to be new, she lacked the skills to give me a simple skin fade and clean up of my beard. She even cut me deep once then after correcting all her errors she charged me $30, $20 for the uneven fade and $10 for the beard. I looked at her and said your kidding me right and she looked down and the floor she said no sir $30, I gave her the $30 and shook my head. BAD BUSINESS, I wish one of the other barbers would of said something or at least fix her mistakes. Never again, I wish this business luck, but don't forget there's always another barbershop down the st read more

This barber shop is the best I have been too in the south eastern area of San Diego. One day before a job interview I needed a fresh hair cut. My barber at the time was late and I couldn't wait any longer. I remember driving by this place a couple times since I lived in the neighborhood and decided to give it a shot. I walked in and was immediately greeted and treated with great customer service. The barber (Steve) assisted me shortly after. I was suspect at first because I have been going to my last barber for a couple years and didn't know what to expect with a new barber. I was nervous to see the results of the cut. When he was done I was amazed by the work. Steve's first time cutting my hair was way better than my previous barber on just the first time. I knew then that this was the spot for me. A year and some change later I am still a customer and will not be changing barbers anytime soon. Anyone looking for a good cut needs to check out Mr. C's!! I recommend all my friends (who have also raved to me about their cuts) to check out this place. I have never been disappointed with my cut. Not once. Tired of walking in and waiting for long periods of time to get a cut? Well you can call Steve in advance and set up an appointment to get yourself in and out. Another thing I thought was great since my last barber was very unprofessional. All in all this IS the spot to get premium quality cuts. Give Steve a call and set yourself up an appointment. You won't be disappointed! read more

I'll start by saying, the first guy that reviewed the shop referred me (as he mentioned, he sent some folks over who were in dire need of a solid beautician!) I'll then follow up on that statement by saying, GOOD LOOKING! I was talking about me after a visit to Mr. C's. Oo, James, thank you as well! lol Shop is right off Market, a tad East of MLK library, the Church's and the Euclid trolley station right there, if you're familiar w/ the area. You hit a stop sign, and there's a liquor store there, something else, and Mr. C's smack dab in the middle, on the right hand side of the street. Steve was the guy who cut my hair, not to mention the owner of the shop. Before I go into cut quality (which I am extremely satisfied upon holding the mirror up to my face every time) I'll give you a little background on Steve.. I feel it's only fair, because the bomb cut isn't the only thing that keeps me coming back. He's a good guy! He's pleasant, makes you feel welcome, takes appointments, and is VERY timely. This is another huge factor on what drew me to the shop. I know about 3 solid barbers in the city, and I don't mind giving any of them my hard earned loot.. but what I CAN'T get back, is time! And Steve is incredibly mindful of that and I am too, as I try to show up at the time we agree upon and keep it all kosher. I don't like being told "oo sure, come in at 2" and I'm there at 2 and don't get snipped until 3:15. I could've probably just walked in and got faster service! Which should never happen. (and has never happened to me here, MAJOR points!) As for the CUT.... well, what more can I say? Steve be having your boy looking hella fresh walking outta there.. consistently. Attention to detail. The shop is his, and you can tell he is serious about his craft and his business. The other barbers seem to do pretty good as well. I see fresh lines leaving seats. Don't know other dude's name.. shorter guy w/ the glasses. He does his thing. good peepz. Prices are competitve, I've gotten cut in Spring Valley, Chula Vista, North Park, you name it. This isn't 2006 people. Have you seen a Dollar Menu lately? Notice that McDouble isn't a buck anymore. That means your haircut isn't going to be 12 dollars anymore either. Another anecdote I have to that is, you get what you pay for. And thirdly, I do like to support the VERY FEW black businesses that are out there. As I mentioned prior, Steve is a good guy. Family man, church guy, and just seems like good people. He keeps me looking good for Corporate America, family functions, or just when I want to let the top back. I have no frets parting ways w/ a couple bucks to keep all that going. Conclusion- If you're in the area, in need of a cut, and want it to be done right, call the shop up! Give them a 2-3 day notice MINIMUM, just as a courtesy (you aren't the only person with a schedule, I'm sorry to break it to you) and I typically like to do a week, but ish happens.. And tell them you saw my post and were persuaded to sit in a seat! (no, I don't get any kickbacks) Cheers, and happy trimming! (PS, they take cash and credit/square pay. So plastic is fantastic) read more

Been going to this barbershop since I got to San Diego. They are by far one of the best this city has to offer. If you need a sharp/professional look, this is the place to go. They do it all, clean fade is just my preference. Steve and Russ are top notch!!! read more

Loveeeeeeee Nikki. She clearly has a passion for styling hair! Very professional, extremely friendly and l CONSISTENT. I would recommend her 10x over. Ladies stop walking around with your tracks showing and let Nikki make you feel like a new woman. Her prices are affordable and well worth her effort . No excuses! read more

I came in to get my hair cut, " a big chop" I knew my hair was going to be super short. I asked for a feminine cut and provided a reference. Red flag #1 is she rushed me to sit in the chair like she understood what I was requesting. (I wasn't asking for much) Red Flag #2 I never seen myself in the mirror (Until the end of the cut) I knew my cut was effed up by the looks I was getting from not only her colleagues but also by the people getting their hair cut. HA! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE received any kind of hair service that I wasn't okay with until today. The crazy part is I still paid and I still tipped. I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. I walked out of there looking like Kid from House Party! But since I like giving out tips for nothing, here's a tip. Save your time and your money! I probably could have done a better job myself by watching a few YouTube tutorials! Now I have to start from scratch and start ALL OVER with a Terrible cut! Thank goodness for wigs right?! Yes I cried. Twice! I probably might cry again. TERRIBLE SERVICE. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I would post a pic of my cut but I'm sure you got the point. read more

I love this barbershop. Very Professional and every barber has great skills. Quera cuts my hair, and she does a fantastic job. I would recommend this barbershop to anyone. read more
