New bigger location...same great vibe! Booked an appointment with AJ. It has been so long...and I was ready to chop off my pandemic hair, however, instead...I asked him to clean up the sides and neck and cut three inches off the length. We were able to catch up with the new location and the other one out in Point Loma. We also talked a little sci-fi which is fun! That is one of the reasons to come back. It's like seeing an old friend you haven't spoken to in a while. I still have my pandemic hair, but at least I don't look so ratty! LOL! Thanks AJ! read more

Great service they squeezed me in on a busy day and did a great cut. Very friendly barbers really make the experience enjoyable.

Found my new stylist Christina at Capitol Barbershop. Showed her my pic fr my Barber in Australia and this gal got all the details down perfectly but than added her own artistic twist that made it my best cut since. Excellent artist, talented barber and fun to chat with. I like when an artist is a "true" artist and not just fluff trying to be the part. I have natural waves and curls and she knew exactly what I was trying to articulate making it very manageable clean cut with a little edge. I explained how the last barber missed the mark prior to her so I grew it out to start all over. She was quick to catch on and correct the previous mistakes and even it all out. I loved all of her suggestions and tips. I was very happy walking out of the shop and pleased with her work. Bring cash and book an appointment with her online Mel M Yelp 18:134 read more

Capitol Barbershop - I like these throwback seats. They're perfect for this shop - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

Can't wait to come back. My second time here with a two different barbers. They take pride in their work and do a great job. I do have long hair but I hate salons, the energy here is chaotic and fun. Honestly looks like a museum with all the taxidermy. See you in 6 months read more

Ive been twice so far (weekday daytime) and got an appointment within an hour of when I called both times. Omar gave me an excellent cut and beard trim at an affordable price. He's likable and skilled at what he does. It was convenient to have a bike rack right out front too. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

Quality shop. My new go-to. Make an appointment, get in get out. They're clean and have reliable cuts.

Been coming to this place for years, and it is the only place I will let cut my hair. I have had several of the barbers cut my hair, but AJ is my go-to. Every barber has been consistent and does a fantastic job! Even during the pandemic, Capitol is doing a great job to ensure the health and safety with their customers. I'm VERY Covid cautious and was happy to see Capitol Barber is taking the necessary steps to wear masks at all times and have customers not getting haircuts wait outside. Social distancing is fully observed and I felt safe and protected. THANK YOU! I always look forward to my haircuts at Capitol b/c it represents community, good times, and amazing haircuts! read more

Can't even explain how disappointed I am, but I'll try. A friend called me and said he wanted to get his hair cut and asked if I wanted to go and since I needed a cut I said "Yeah, come by and pick me up" We are driving an hour, at least so I checked Yelp and their website to make sure they were open....Yup, they are lets head down. Once we got to San Diego I figured "Ehhhh, let me call to make sure they aren't slammed and if there's a long wait. "ring...ring...ring....ring....The message machine is full and cannot take a message" Huh, well, maybe everyone is cutting hair and they couldn't get to the phone. We get into North Park and I call again....same thing, Arrived at the location and the security gate it across the front and locked WTF!! I jump out, maybe they are at lunch...nope nothing. Check the house on the door, yup they are supposed to be open...I guess they really just don't care. read more

Barber cutting my hair was cool but i could tell he did not have a lot of experience. Cut wasn't the best but it wasn't terrible either. One side looks nice but the blend on the other side and the back was lacking. Overall for 32 dollars it was a good deal read more

I've been going to the same barbershop in North Park since I moved on, and I honestly have no complaints about them. But for a change, I decided to try Capitol Barbershop since my barber didn't have any same day openings and Capitol did. I rolled in (literally! on a LimeBike!) at 3:30pm last Friday and Tristan was my man. He spent a few minutes discussing what kind of a cut I wanted, and it seemed to be their thing here as their other barbers did the same. Of course your barber is going to ask you what you want done, but here it was done with a bit more focus on EXACTLY what you want. I told him my wants and needs, and Tristan went over what he was going to do. Great! 30 minutes later I walked out with a perfect cut. And he's a cool dude, semi-new to the shop. I appreciated hearing about his work history and even ran into an old buddy of mine when leaving the shop. It's a touch closer to home for me and nearer to the best happy hour in town (Working Class -- see you there!) so I'll be tempted to return here the next time I need a trim. Thanks, Tristan! read more

Laurentino did an amazing cut, understood exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it. Perfect trim on the beard and very friendly I will definitely be back. read more

I booked online and it was my first time at this shop. Super cool decor and vibes. Laurentino did a great job!

Took my kids here today and it was an awesome experience. Tristan hooked them up and was super patient when they inevitably jerked or moved plus awesome music and vibe. So many shops up and down this area have given my kids THE worst haircuts but today they both left super happy. Definitely will be back. read more

Capitol Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

One of the last things you think of when moving is finding a new barbershop. Then when you're in desperate need of a cut, reality sets in: It's hard to find a legit barber you can trust. I tried several places when we first moved to San Diego and got increasingly fed up with the poor cuts and crappy conversation. I finally found Capitol through Yelp and saw several reviews mentioning Chris. That was 2 years ago. And I haven't gone to a different barber or shop since. Cuts are great. Conversation is good. Price is ridiculously cheap (I believe it recently increased from $21 to $23, which is still a steal!), and you're in and out in 30 minutes. It seems like low skin fades can be challenging, but Chris always gets it right and truly cares about his craft. They even do the traditional straight blade on the neck, which is an absolute must. Plus, I love the convenience of booking online. From my routine cuts to my wedding day cut, I've always gone to Capitol. Go to their website and book an appointment with Chris right now -- be sure to bring cash. read more

WOW. That was my first impression. I felt like I was going to my usual barber on a Monday afternoon for the 100th time. This was my first time at Capitol Barbershop since i'm not from the area. I live in LA, but I was in SD for work and I heard great things about this place. My dude Mason treated me with respect, listened to what I had to say, had some excellent suggestions. The crew there is very professional and respectful, and I honestly appreciate that the most. I have plenty of barbershops in LA, yet I will be making the trip down here next month to get a fresh cut from Mason! This place is a hidden gem. 10/5 Stars! P.s. the little coffee shop out front has some AMAZING tiny muffins. A must try. read more

Great haircuts in a chill, kinda funky atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and they do an excellent job. Appointments are easy to book online. Big thing to remember: CASH ONLY! read more

I'll admit that I'm very picky when it comes to barbers. Most just rush through and cut in a generic way that is easy. However, AJ really listens and knows what he is doing. I couldn't be more pleased. He's my new go to barber. AJ gave me one of the all time best haircuts I have ever had. Outstanding! read more

Been searching for a new barber and finally found one! Thank you Christina for the great haircut and conversation. Tried to make an appointment through the link unfortunately did not work but I was able to call and they were able to put me down. read more

Clean shop, good vibes, relaxing environment, fair pricing. Laurentino gave me an excellent cut. Will be coming back for sure.

This is our favorite barbershop. I recommend it to all my friends and family. All the barbers are good at what they do. Been going there for years and have nothing but good memories and positive experiences. read more

This place lacks cleanliness and professionalism. They don't make their clients wear masks during COVID quarantine even though it's the law right now. I showed up and left immediately after seeing one of their clients sauntering around without a mask. Neither of the barbers asked him to correct this or leave. I've been coming here for almost 3 years and I won't be returning. read more

Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied in this shop. Made an appointment online because this place is by appointment only. When I show up to my appointment I get no greeting just "do you have an appointment " I said yes and waited. My barber is nowhere to be seen. I waited 10 minutes and still no sign of any acknowledgement from any barber or Frankie which I had the appointment scheduled with. I decided to leave after waiting so long. Finally 20 minutes after I left I get a text from Frankie if I'm still there for my appointment. Took Frankie almost 30 minutes past my appointment to finally make some sort of contact with me but I was long gone by then. This was an extremely unprofessional experience, better to take your business elsewhere. read more

Great place... Tristan took me as a walk in and I got a great cut. Due for another as a matter of fact! I've been off grid a while so had to look up the name of the place... glad I did.. Call coming you way guys! Cheers! read more

Best barber in San Diego hands down. Paul cuts my husband's hair and my autistic 7 year old stepsons hair. This is the FIRST place we have found where he doesn't cry. We have tried kids hair salons all over San Diego and it's been a nightmare. However, the calm, small and unique atmosphere here at Capitol has worked magic. Paul is patient and gentle and always does a fantastic job. I've even tried to get him to cut women's hair, lol. You won't regret coming here. Make an appointment to get seen right away, no waiting. Parking isn't available but street parking seems fine midday. Customer for life. Thanks Paul for being badass!! read more

Capitol Barbershop - Getting his hipster cut with a smile!!! - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

Sick barbershop in North Park, these guys give great haircuts. $20 for a cut, you should definitely make an appointment a couple days in advance. Paul cut me today, and I hear AJ is good too. Shop is small with two chairs, so you definitely should call ahead. I don't think walk-ins are ever taken because they're always booked. Shop has a nice barbershop decor. read more

Capitol Barbershop - Old school chairs - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

Good haircuts for the money. Christina knows what she's doing. I don't have any experience with any of the other people there. I've tried many other places around North Park and the surrounding area and been charged everywhere from $18 to $45 for a haircut. Capitol Barshop is the best haircut I've gotten. Was offered my eyebrows trimmed as well as a shave for no additional cost. Total was $32 as of January 10th. Give them a shot! read more

Love this gem! I have been coming here for years now ever since I've found this place on yelp. Everything is top notch here. From the customer service to the haircuts. AJ is a very personable guy. Every time me and my brother come in we always have good conversations with him. The other barbers that work there are good as well. If you want a good haircut with a old school barbershop feel, then come here. This is not a quick $10 haircut place where they miss hairs. At Capitol, they take their time and give you what you want. *Tip- Make sure you call ahead for an appointment. Sometimes they have cancelations on the same day and can get you in. Make sure you bring cash read more

Capitol Barbershop - Fresh cut from Capitol - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

I've tried this shop a couple times, and they're now my new barber. Easy booking system on their website, good availability. Easy funky vibe in the shop, and Chris gives me a solid cut and beard trim. I'm going back at 3:00 today! read more

So we came here for the first time today for my two boys and they are both as happy as they can be. They had Tristan do their hair and he was absolutely amazing with them and did a great job meeting their expectations. He carried conversations with them and assured my youngest when he was a little nervous. Will definitely come back and we could not be more happy. Also my kids said the best part was the fact that he gave them candy at the end. read more

Capitol Barbershop - My son practically falling asleep in the chair - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

AJ is the best dude and cuts hair like a champ. Professional, skilled, and passionate. You won't want to go to another barber after AJ cuts your hair. I couldn't be happier that he has his own barber shop. I used to go to AJ when he was cutting at Lefty's, so he's been cutting my hair for at least a year. The atmosphere of the shop is very comfortable, homey, and old school. It suits all backgrounds and styles of men looking to get a good haircut or shave. read more

Gotta go check this place out and make sure to get a fresh cut with Chris. He's been cutting my hair for 7 years and I followed him over here. He's a legit barber that knows exactly what he's doing. He's the real deal, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Very good haircuts at a reasonable price Every time I walk into Capitol Barbershop I know I'll come out looking sharp. I've had Chris, Tristan, and AJ cut my hair before and all are excellent barbers. I've been going to AJ as a regular for about a year now and he's one of the funniest and most interesting people to talk to. While they don't offer you a "free beer" for waiting like some other barbershops do, this place is no frills and more reasonably priced than some other places. Their regular hair cut is $23 and they only accept cash. I recommend hitting up the ATM before your appointment. I don't think they normally take walk-ins, as it's usually busy. If you want to chance it, call ahead. read more

Honestly have been really lazy with my hair since the pandemic started. Read a ton of great stuff about Capitol and it will definitely be my regular spot now. Omar was awesome. I didn't ask for much with my haircut but it was still miles better than the chain salons and basically the same price. Probably will try some new styles in future cuts read more

Awesome barbershop in North Park with awesome barbers! AJ always gets my cut perfect. $21 for a cut so if you're looking for excellent service at a more than reasonable cost, then this is definitely the place. read more

Solid barber shop for haircuts and more from people who care about quality. Highly recommend. Enjoyable experience, great ambience , enjoyed the time there and was very happy with the results ! read more

Point Loma Location is 3304 Midway next door to Pacers. Triston is a truly talented Barber. Made appt on line was in and out in 30 min. He cut my hair a little different than ever done before. Cool barbers, Fun place to hang out for 30 min. read more

Who doesn't accept credit cards!? It's 20-friggin-19! And you'd think that if you were a CASH ONLY business, you'd make that important fact prominent on your website, but apparently that's too difficult as well. read more

Decent service, could improve more with timing haircuts, it felt a little bit rushed cause the barber han an appointment waiting while he was finishing my haircut. read more

Homeboy rushed my hair to get his next appointment seated. I came out looking like I just woke up. Not going back. Thanks.

Another great experience and great haircut by Mason. Very happy to find a barber that's near by and consistent. Great value.
