Great barbershop. Good vibes, sports or local stuff on the TV, fun banter. This isn't one of those "guys-that-look-like-they-wear-monocles-making-you-drinks" barber shops, but that's part of the charm. Old school vibes with the Suavatel neon in the window. Appointments, mainly, so most of the people going have been going - lots of familiar faces and "how's the kids" talk to regulars. The cuts are always top notch, and the price is on the lower end for a real barber shop experience. My dude is DJ - he always does a great job, is super friendly, and has given me some great restaurant recs. I go in looking like Cousin IT, I come out looking like Paul Newman. Who wouldn't like that? I moved, but this is still my go to - I'll make the drive to get a good cut here. That speaks volumes for a lazy guy like me. Highly recommended. read more

Fantastic barbershop. The owner is Alfonso and he starts early in the morning for those wanting to go before heading into work. They normally like appointments but will take walk ins if they are free. Friendly and great fades make this barbershop a must for anyone looking for a trim. read more

The person who was cleaning the windows looked me stared at me and changed the sign to closed and just kept staring at me. read more

Well i think after a year we may have finally found our barber in the Sac area!! So we have lived in the Sac area for about a year and a half now, my husband and 13 year old son have tried numerous barbers and no one has been able to get their haircuts just right, we always end up back at our original barber in Madera, Ca. (2.5 hours away), as you can imagine this is frustrating for us. We happened to drive by Capitol barbershop and decided to give it a shot. It's a Friday afternoon around 3:00ish there's a small wait not too bad usually my husband and son go together but my husband had to work today. We go in the shop where it's nice and cool, as soon as you walk in you can smell the cleanliness and the atmosphere was welcoming as well. We were greeted by the barbers and had a seat, we waited maybe 10-15 minutes not bad at all. Luis finished with his client and had my son sit in the chair he asked what he would like so my son showed him a picture of a cut his barber gives him (let me mention that my son had been going to the same barber since he was 6) so he's very meticulous about his hair. Luis got to work, I like that he took his time and made conversation with my son I watched as he cut his hair and I can tell you I am very happy with the results of this haircut, I can tell by my son's face when Luis turned the chair to face the mirror that he was both happy and relieved that his hair came out so good. Finally we found our spot! My husband will be in tomorrow to get his haircut with Luis! Thanks Capitol barbershop, you made 2 more clients!!! Oh yeah, the prices were also very reasonable as well!! read more

Haven't found a great barber in Sac since I moved here 2+ years ago. Read all the reviews for Capitol Barber Shop and figured I'd give it a shot. Let me start by saying that this place is everything that a guy can want in a proper barbershop atmosphere. Nice guys cutting hair, remembering customer's name, ESPN on the TVs, everyone talking football, fighting, etc. Again, truly nice guys cutting hair with a real, old-school style barbershop atmosphere. Sit in the chair, talk about how I want my hair cut, barber seems to get it. Asked him if he did beards too, he did and I asked him to tackle mine. Cut my hair first, we talked about fading the sides and either leaving the top alone or just a slight trim (I like it longer on top), he gets to the top and takes about an inch off...my hair may be 2.5-3 inches long before it was cut. Ah, it's hair, it'll grow back. The fade is fine, cleaned up and edges everything nicely. Why the 3 stars? He all but took off my beard. I keep a beard about an inch, inch and a half long on the bottom, fade it up to the ears. He didn't ask me how I wanted my beard trimmed or what I wanted done. Instead, once he finished my hair, without warning or questions, dude took something like a 3 or 4 guard to chin hair. No fade, clean line up, but shorter than I've had it in years. It's just hair and it will grow back, but I would have thought that before he started cutting my face hair, we would have talked about how I wanted it trimmed. I'll leave the interpretations to the sandwich artists at Subway, but I like a bit of consultation when you're cutting any hair on my head or face. Again, awesome environment. Very casual, welcoming, nice people with great prices, but I encourage anyone who hasn't been there before to be overly thorough in detailing how your like hair cut or beard trimmed. read more

Never disappoints , started taking my son here a few months back love the atmosphere of the shop, everyone's welcoming . Highly recommend

Good folks and clean cuts. I've gotten cuts from three of the barbers and always was satisfied. I get a pompadour and a mid skin fade, their skills are on point. read more

The guy was very nice, and I didn't have to wait at all, although a line did form while I was getting my haircut. I just thought overall the quality was that great. He did my whole head with a comb and electric razor, and I thought the result was sub-par. No scissors, not thinning shears. Price was decent, but I don't mind paying a couple bucks extra to feel better about my haircut for the next few weeks. I gave it a chance, but I'm going elsewhere. read more

Hands down the best haircuts in Sacramento. Great atmosphere, perfect haircuts, and always friendly. This place is the real deal.

I still like this place, but I'm knocking them down a star for service. They may be a victim of their own success; they need to change their policy of not leaving the shop to keep your place in line and allow people to sign in. We're all busy and why not let someone sign in, know they are #5 in line, get some food, then be back in an hour? If you're not back in time, you lose your spot. Pretty simple. Unless they change their policy, expect to waste time sitting and waiting for a cut. It'll be a damn good cut, but maybe not worth the wait especially when you're busy. read more

DO Not GO HERE Unless you want your hair butchered!! You would think a barber shop knows how to cut men's hair...not this one. My fiance went here to get his hair cut and asked them to take an inch off. How about 3 inches and now he looks like a punk teenager with a buzz cut. I am soooooo mad, I can't believe this place is still in business. He will never go back again. Do yourself a favor and pick somewhere else. read more

Great place to get a great hair cut! I don't trust nobody else w/ my hair besides Louie & Charlie. Best barbershop in Sacramento hands down!
