Came in after a barber shop down the street butchered my hair. I was greeted by Zaman who was surprisingly a very down to earth dude. I explained my situation to him and he told me he could fix it. He had about 4 guys ahead of me that he was already acquainted with and after cutting two of them he made my haircut a priority and got me hooked up before he cut the next guy. Overall the shop has a great atmosphere and is surrounded by by bunch of cool dudes and characters. I will definitely stop by again. read more

I have been a patron of Cali Fresh Cutz for well over three years and have Zaman attend to the task of cutting, nay, styling my beautiful white mane once a week. He brings a serious artistry to the title of barber and deftly uses clippers, scissors, and the straight razor to give me the best comb over in town. On many a bright summers day as I walk down the street and woman stop dead in their tracks and stare at my crop of perfectly coifed hair I thank my lord and savior, Jesus Christ, that I know Zaman. His skills are only surpassed by his love of his craft. Are you ugly? Zaman will turn a solid 4 into an 8 with his haircuts. Are you under qualified and heading to a job interview? Zaman will make you look like a professional. His brother is kind of a dick tho. read more

Super chill and laid back place. I moved to San Diego and needed to find a barber who loves what they do. I'm super picky about my hair cut so I needed to find someone very passionate about cutting hair. I've gone to two other barber shops and none of them even came close to the family vibe I got from this shop and my barber Sammy is the man when it comes to a nice clean cut. read more

Zaman knows what he's doing. Did an amazing job on my haircut. Came out better than I expected. Reviews were right. Thank you

Been going to Cali Fresh Cutz for over 3 years now and I'll never go anywhere else! All the barbers in there are legit and some of the best in SD. Saucy T been cutting my hair and every time its perfect. Saucy has never messed up on my hair and Ricky, Zaman, Daunte and Martin cut better than the rest of the barbers in SD. I highly recommend is you need a cut to go to Cali Fresh Cutz. You'll always be laughing once you step in there and leave completely satisfied with your cut. I'll continue to come here for many years to come! read more

Came in and felt right at home! Great place to get a cut. Martin was by barber and I got a low fade . I will definitely be making this as my go to spot to get a cut. read more

Clean and fresh cutz as aways! Shouts to Sammy for the dope combover Everytime I come here. Been coming here for almost a year now and never been disappointed. Great vibes right when you walk in. Highly recommended! Keep it the heat yah! read more

Watched my bf J get all Fre$h & lined up. Best barbershop atmosphere...all the barbers are super chill! His barber made sure my bf got exactly what he wanted and took pride in his work. We'll be back I def recommend! read more

My 7 year old son, Logan, is really into "Sonic The Hedgehog". He wanted to have a "Sonic" haircut. We took an action figure, and picture of Sonic and these guys pulled it off! Logan LOVES his cut, and we are now return customers. Thanks to Supercuts down the street who referred us to Cali Fresh Cutz- we are big fans! read more

Just moved to the area, and Zaman did an amazing job on my sons haircut! I will definitely be bringing him back. Nice atmosphere and friendly. read more

My bf frequents this shop and this is what he had to say about it: It's has a unique environment and Zaman is on point. It doesn't matter if you're a new client or a regular, they make you feel comfortable. You can go in and feel comfortable having anyone of the barbers cut your hair. They're personable and hold actual relationships with their clients. They're diverse in terms of their skills. They're definitely good at cutting any type of hair, and it shows in their work. I highly recommend giving these guys a shot. read more

Probably the best barbershop I've been too. Martin is a god with a pair of clippers. I'm getting old and my hair is thinning. Martin hooked up my fade every time to get my hair looking even. Convo was always cool and he does appointments so u NEVER have to wait to get a cut! read more

Definitely the place to take your men and boys to get a new do! Abe's amazing, but anyone here will take care of you!

I have been getting my haircut by Martin for over 4 years.. he has given my son his first haircut and I refuse to let anyone one else cut it... the is a great friendly atmosphere within the shop.. come check them out for yourself but first make an appointment using StyleSeat you won't regret it.. read more

I have been going to the same barber for over 15 years and finally made a change to go see Thomas the Lifeguard at Cali Fresh and let me tell you when I say the man is pure excellence. He was very professional, had great customer service and delivered hands down the best experience. I will definitely be coming back read more

First time going to this place and I will Def be back. Owner was real personable and took his time to give me a quality haircut.

If you want a great haircut from some hilarious guys that lighten up the mood, this is the barbershop to go to. I've had my hair cut by both Zuman and Sammy and they each did a great job. Standard cuts are $15 so hand them a $20 and feel great about the bargain cut you just got. Best barbershop in the area by far. read more

Talented barbers. They care for their work!. Did a great job correcting a hack job from Fantastic Sam's... lol.

Took my boyfriend there for the first time and got his hair cut... I gotta say great atmosphere and great staff but most importantly Zaman who cut his hair did an amazing job he will definitely be back again read more

My boys got their cuts here and the guy did an amazing job! They took their time and made sure it was perfect! I don't usually tip a lot but I did this time! Highly recommend this place! read more

They took me in last minute...right before they were going to close. The haircut was better than just about any barber I've been to. Thanks Lifeguard for the awesome fade! read more

Last minute cut and glad I found this spot. It's hard to find a good barber and Louii hooked it up and did a fresh fade. My new go to spot in SD! read more

This place gives amazing cuts. Awesome atmosphere. As long as I live I won't go anywhere else

I have tried to go to other barber shops three times. All three times I leave disappointed. This is the best barber shop in San Diego. Cheap cuts, quality work, and stand up guys. Has an urban feel, and makes you feel at home. I have never been less than pleased with these guys. If you ever have a note to add or a preference in their cut, consider it done. As long as I live in San Diego I will be coming here. read more

Great place, good atmosphere, and even better cuts. The guys are personable and you can tell they are passionate about what they do. I've had Frankie and Zaman and would recommend either of them without hesitation. It's a long drive for me to get down to La Mesa but its worth it. Have had a grip of people ask me where I get my haircut recently and I'm sending them this way! read more

Sammy hooked my hair up. I also had him line up my beard. I looked damn good going into my meetings this week. The atmosphere is really relaxed and fun. read more

If you're looking for a fade done please don't bother anywhere else, these guys have experience and this is the best barbershop in la Mesa the rest will mess up with your line up because they're stylists not barbers.... Experience is always better then school certified "stylists" read more

Just moved from the Bay Area to San Diego and was in desperate need for a haircut, so I look around on yelp and find Zaman. My man gave me probably the best haircut of my life! I came in the shop not really knowing what I wanted to do with my hair but he knew right away. Such a friendly and welcoming guy. Definitely recommend checking him out. My friends and I will definitely be back. Thank you again Zaman! read more

Walked in this morning and met Sammy and Zaman... These guys were really chill and had a very welcoming attitude! Not only was the first impression of the shop good, but Sammy hooked up a dope haircut too, no wait, but I would definitely wait if I had to; found my new barber down here... Definitely a must go to barbershop if your in the area... read more

I very rarely take the time to review business, even those that I love and use frequently. Zaman and Cali Fresh Cutz are different. They are definitely worth the time. The shop is clean and the vibe is super welcoming. This was the third time I've taken my son. He was really pleased with the first visit but most business will do their best to win over a new customer. Now, to be honest, it's kind of like going to see some friends. Hang out, catch up, get cleaned up and you're on your way till next time. Go in. Give them a try. They are all really great barbers. Then try them again. You will continue to be pleased. And if, big if, you weren't happy they would try to fix it. They are great barbers, great guys and, now, great friends. read more

Zaman remembered the exact haircut I got on my first visit when I came in the second time, 3 MONTHS LATER. I was blown away. It showed me that Zaman takes his craft incredibly seriously. The first cut I got from him was amazing but that second cut was the best I've ever gotten. I've always had issues getting good lineups consistently but Zaman does it effortlessly. That second haircut got me the most compliments I've ever gotten after a cut. Zaman has an eye for style, plain and simple. I always get my haircut before events where I know I want to look the best I possibly can (clubbing, music festivals, etc.). It puts my confidence on another level. Now, you may be wondering why it took me 3 months to come back after that first haircut. The reason being his shop is 35 minutes away from me but that doesn't faze me anymore. The quality of his cuts is just unmatched in my 4 years in San Diego. My only criticism may be that he and his brother aren't as funny as they think they are haha, but they're both good people. I always enjoy hanging with them when I go get my cuts. read more

Went in for a cut today and waited over an hour. They had one barber working and the other barber was no where to be found. I was the only one waiting too, and when he finished the guy he was cutting up another guy walked in and sat down for a cut. I'm assuming it was an appointment but whatever so I'm just waiting on the the other barber to show up when he feels like for me to get a haircut. I finally had enough waiting and left . Was my first and last time going there. read more

I finally found a place after going to so many different barber shops for my sons cut and for my daughters undercut. Martin is awesome he cut my sons hair, gave my daughter a touchup on a previous undercut and free handed a design that came out freaking sweet. We have found our place. Highly recommend this spot great prices and honest people! Wish we would've came here sooner instead of wasting time and money! read more

love you guys best shop hands down!! Keep doing what you're doing!

This is an update to my initial review. I want to say that I have been here several times now and they are consistently good. I have even had 3 different barbers cut my hair and its been great each time. I continue to highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

So i am from North County. I find myself down in La Mesa these days on the wknds.. i like to get a high-n-tight wkly. for those of you familiar know what this stems from. Prob is looking for a place outside of MCRD,MIRAMAR,MCB CAMP PEN.. finding a place to get a squared away cut. Is hard. So when i was looking for a place on yelp cali cutz popped up and i sure why not shoot over and give them a try. Walked in Sammy was setting up as they just opened up. Sammy is a chill brotha and i felt gd with his presence to sit in his chair and let him square my head away. He whipped me around and did his thing i closed my eyes and relaxed while he worked. He gave me a skin tight high n tight with no line up. What i asked for. With no stutter or prob.. when it was all said and done if i was still in the Marine Corps and had Monday morning formation. I would have No prob. Worrying that. My haircut wasn'tgd. The young man did a outstanding job!! For me. I will be back bruh. Stay bro and keep your clipper game tight. read more

Yo first and foremost mad love for Cali fresh Cutz! Zaman is one of the best there and the rest of the staff are all legit. I've been coming here for a few years now and have never been dissatisfied with service nor have I seen any other person complain. The barbers here are able to do all types of designs and styles. You name it, you got it. It's great for military as well( which works out since SD is a military town) CFC has always been my #1 spot.and if you get a chance tip your barber yo! These cats is talented and deserve it. So hurry up and do yourself a favor by getting fresh at Cali fresh Cutz! read more

A friendly and comfortable environment. Martin has serious skills when it comes to cutting hair. Thank you, I'll be back in 4-6 weeks.

I just took my two year old triplets in for a haircut. The customer service was excellent and we loved their haircuts. I was very happy with this place and definitely will be coming back for the boys haircuts in the future. read more

First time a Cali Fresh cuts. Wasn't sure what to except and to my surprise it was a pretty chill laid back spot. I chopped it up with my barber Martin while he cut my hair and before i knew it i was all done. Really happy with haircut and I'll be back real soon. read more
