I went to this place on a whim. I didn't check reviews, I didn't really inspect anything. When I tell you this place has been here for 20+ years (per owner) it's for a reason. I've never had a haircut experience that pleasant. It's a husband and wife combo. The conversation was nice, not forced. Would recommend this place to anyone. I will for sure be coming back read more

The barbershop is owned and operated by a husband and wife team, and they are amazing. Both of them have many years of experience and it really shows. I make time every month to go see them because my haircut always makes me look younger and feel so much better. I highly recommend this place. Anna and Tim are a wonderful couple -- thank you both so much! read more

What a great barber shop. Tim and his wife are wonderful. Service is excellent. Really like that he uses a vacuum to make sure all of the cut hair is off me. And, after the haircut, you get a shoulder massage. Best barber around! read more

Quick and simple local barber shop. Pricing is quite fair and cuts are fast and efficient, but CASH ONLY (as I unfortunately discovered and had to run around finding a working ATM). I only interacted with Tim, but he was professional and less talkative (perfectly fine for my introverted self). I had a fairly simple cut and am not very fussy about my styling, but things came out quite clean and I was happy with the work done. As of Oct 2022: $30 for a men's trim, $10 for hairwash There's plenty of parking space for the collection of stores in the area, so it should be easy enough to get a spot. That said there isn't much in the way of bike parking, at least not visibly near the shop. The shop itself is fairly small, as there are only two chairs and additional seating for 3 folks to wait around. Calling ahead helps, but walkins are just fine during quieter hours. read more

I tried to trim my hair with an electric shaver/thinner. I inadvertently had it set at the thinnest level. It was a disaster! I made large bald spots on both sides of my head. Ana performed a miracle. She is amazing! She also has calming music playing which helped me to relax and feel comfortable. And to top it off, she used an electric percussion massage gun on the back of my neck and shoulders. I highly recommend her! read more

Ana is my go-to barber. I still go back even after moving. I'm shy and they don't make too much small talk, so I like that. read more

Cedar Tree Barber Shop - Tim's hours as of September 13, 2024 - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

See all

I recently moved in the neighborhood and I needed to find a new hair person. I got in and I was served right away by Tim. I have never had a more efficient conversation with a hair stylist about what I wanted done to my hair. Tim was quick, I think he got me out in 10-15 minutes with a good haircut (my dad back home has a barber shop and I am kind of picky with it, Tim nailed it). As others pointed out, cash only and Tim is definitely not talkative, which suits me :D Great place, will come again. read more

Great place for a basic barber's cut. The shop is clean and the service is top notch.

I had been going to the same barber for the past 10 years and popped in one afternoon to cedar tree 2 years ago and have become a loyal customer. There quality of haircuts set the bar to a new high and the best part about it is they are faster than any other I've been to. Definitely recommend! read more

Tim & Ann will always take care of you. Support this local business and get a great haircut! My sons and husband are never disappointed. Thank you, Tim & Ann! read more

Cedar Tree Barber Shop - Best Barber Shop in Santa Clara! Tim & Ann have been cutting my husband's and my two sons' hair for years. Always give great cuts!! - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

the best cuts for me for the past 15 years. Very professional. Very fast. I usually walk in and am out within 30 minutes

I've been getting my hair cut here for years. I've been very happy with the cut and the pricing. Ann also gives me a Senior Happy Birthday Free cut on my birthday! WOW, it can't get better than that. read more

Awesome spot! Tim does a great job on my hair every time. Very quick and efficient appointment.

On the recommendation of my neighbor, brought my almost four year old son here for his first short haircut (mama loved those curls). We had a great experience! It was quiet on a Wednesday afternoon around 4, there was plenty of space for my daughter to sit (could have brought the stroller in if I needed it), everything looked clean and bright. Ana was sweet with my son and he came out looking super cute. We will be back and send Dad here next time he needs a cut as well. Hooray for finding our neighborhood barbershop! read more

Dear Tim I hope you read this. I have been having you cut my hair for about 10 years now, and that last time was the last. I'm never going back to you! It was a Saturday, it was my anniversary, around noon and nobody was waiting. It's been months since I got my hair cut. All I wanted was a trim. I gave you simple instructions, "I'm growing out my hair, I would like it cleaned up around the ears and a little off the top, and thin it out around my cowlick. I'm feathering back the sides..slicking them back." At first I was happy what you were doing, you were doing what I the customer had asked. Then WOOMPH...a handful of hair came off! I was shocked, and there was nothing that I could of done!! Then you cut the top...sigh! Do you know what it's like to see your hair just get butchered off!?! After giving you specific instructions.. Why even ask the customer how they want their hair cut then!?!?! Seriously! I sat there, waiting for you to get done. My stomach was getting in knots! I was so stressed out..I couldn't wait to leave!!! You gave me a high fade..remember! Do you know how hard it is to find a good barber!?! I gave you 10 years of business! When I got home my Wife saw my hair and expression, she felt sorry!! She knew that I was growing it out. She wanted to call you to give you an ear full! Why!?! Its done!! It's only hair right! Wrong.. When the customer explains to you how they want their haircut, listen and do your job! Don't do what you want! No matter how long the customer has been going to you. read more

Been here a few times for my kids cuts and they both do a decent job. They aren't friendly at all.. no small talk, nada.. just straight business. The lady did crack a smile the other day and it was nice to see a tiny bit of personality.. but smiles aren't as important as a good haircut. $20 imo is a little pricy for a quick cut for my kids.. but cost of living effects everyone so yeah, take my money. read more

I have been going here for years and Tim and Ann are great. My 2 boys & 2 girls go/have gone here for a few years as well. In my experience they take time to understand what you want, are always consistent and care about the quality of their work. At this point I normally just confirm my usual cut. I enjoy supporting this small business and there are several other great merchants in this community shopping center. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Just wanted to chime in with others ... This is the best barber shop I've visited in a long time. I've visited them three times now, each time with excellent results. I used to go to another local shop which was okay, but there was always some little thing not quite right. I tried Cedar Tree on a friend's recommendation. I'm very glad I did! Tip: If the front parking area is full, there is extra parking behind the hardware store and barber shop. read more

Great neighborhood barber shop. I came to this place for about 5 years, before moving away. When I recently came back (after about 2 years), Tim still remembered me, and the friends and family members that I have referred to this place. Not only do you get a great haircut, and a fair price, the hot shave trim cannot be underestimated. After being spoiled by that treatment, every other haircut has been a let down. I no longer live or work in the area, but I am happy to make the commute to this place for all of my haircuts. read more

Great family owned business. Tim and Ann are pleasant and good people. I've been going to see Tim for many years, always clean lineups, great haircuts, shaves, you name it. With the current COVID situation, thought it would be uncomfortable getting a haircut with my mask on, but its very well ventilated and was actually pleasant. Highly recommend for those.looking to clean up their lockdown locks. read more

Very pricey! It cost $2 more for fading, $7 more for lineups. The only reason why this place is expensive is because they have the words barber shop. In fact it's just another one of those Vietnamese hair salons. I recommend this other barber shop in willow glen called mission barber as they charge $10 less and they do all the fancy trimmings and fades at no extra charge. I shall continue to my old barber shop despite the far distance from me. read more

Would do zero stars if I could . I've gone here for years and everything was mediocre but out of no where Tim decided his ideas were better than what my request were for my hair and beard. I gave Tim and Ana more than enough chances to fix their wrongs without saying anything. From Ana giving me an entire wrong cut from the length that I said, to Tim deciding what he thinks is best despite my wishes. I told Tim to not touch my beard at all and then gave my request for my haircut, he then decided to get hack my beard off. I stopped him and told him again I did NOT want him to do anything with my beard and he responded as if he understood and then moments later hacked my beard off so fast before I could say anything a third time to stop him. What was a life time customer they've lost because they completely disregard my wishes or requests and do whatever they please. The only thing they have succeeded in is failing my expectations. read more

Been coming here for 4 years now and the fades are always crispy Whatever style you rock you're in good hands with Tim and Ann

There are a lot of great barbers in the area, but none have been more consistent than Cedar Tree over the years -- I've never had what I considered to be a bad haircut here. read more

One of my favorite barber shops, ever. Very old school yet it's a Vietnamese couple who own and run the place - who also work long hours, 6 days a week so I don't mind paying $15 for a hair cut here. Cash only. Best part of this place, is the shopping center it's in. I usually come here, then go have a sushi lunch at Yuki, go over to the model train shop for some magazines, and get a drink to go at the liquor store. Parking can be a bitch during lunch as it's a free-for-all in the lot. read more

This place always gives me a good haircut. Here's the straight scoop, because it may or may not be for everyone (these apply to both Tim and Ana): - they are very good at cutting hair (very consistent from visit to visit) - they do all the little things I used to expect from a barber shop, growing up, but rarely find any more - current price for a haircut is $17, so you do have to pay for what you get - they're not too talkative, which is fine by me, because I'm the same way - they can be friendly, but are usually all business - they are always polite and professional I guess if you have a simple hair style, it might not be worth the $17, when you can find other places in the $8 - $10 range. On the other hand, paying a bit extra may be worth it to you, because you're going to get a good, consistent haircut, which is something you probably won't get at the less expensive place. That's worth something, in my opinion. I recommend giving them a try, you may find that you really like them. read more

Fantastic barber shop: Great price point, easy location, rarely any wait, and a good hair cut, including a hot neck shave. They're also expanding to offer full shaves, shampooing, etc. I count myself a regular. read more

Not the best but it's local and there's hardly a wait. Mr. T's is a bit better but the wait is huge. Same cost as any other place, $17. The guy doesn't talk much but the lady does and she cuts better. read more

I'm from Fremont and really needed a local barber. Tried 2 other places and found a barber but they left. So I tried here to finds another new barber. I called for an appointment and they weren't busy so I was able to drive and be seen immediately. Should've taken that as a sign. The lady cutting my hair was nice enough. Halfway through my haircut her regulars came and she seemed to rush me and finish. Haircut was fine but I won't come again. read more

I called in for a haircut for my roommate and I around 5:00 and was able to reserve two chairs without a problem. We paid 16 a piece and tipped 5 dollars each for a grand total of 42 dollars. There are a few things which set this shop apart from others. The shop is impeccably clean for one, there is very little hair strewn about. Our cuts lasted 20 minutes and included a massage gun, a vacuum to remove any excess cut hair from our heads, and mints. They also have very reasonable hours to accomodate a 9-5 schedule. I will absolutely be returning and will continue to give them my business every month. I highly recommend them for men's cuts. read more

I started getting my hair cut here even before Tim and Ann took over the business, and I have continued to be a loyal customer. I have never been disappointed - and I consider my thick hair a challenge to cut and style. I Highly Recommend their shop! read more

I was scared of the male barber because of the reviews but he did an amazing job and I kept asking for my hair to be shorter than what i asked for and he did it for me no problem. Gave him a five dollar tip. This is now my new go to place. read more

$15 for a haircut seems a bit too pricey for this Supercuts-type barber shop -- why not just go to Supercuts then since the higher traffic place probably has more practiced employees & consistency. That said, I look ok today after Cedar Tree. I don't plan to return though. read more

Came in without an appointment, was seen right away. Very affordable and they actually did a really great job in a surprisingly quick amount of time. It's literally around the corner from my house so I will definitely be back. I did learn it is cash only after the fact, and unfortunately I never carry cash. But other than that it was seamless! read more

It's a really nice barbershop, the service is really good, fast, clean. They charge you 20 bucks and they only take cash.

Great and fast haircut! Brought in a photo and the end result looked really nice. $20 for a men's haircut

I have been coming to the Cedar Tree Barbershop for 7-8 years now. It is hands down the best barber shop I have ever had the pleasure of going to in terms of service and quality of cut! There are two primary barbers who work here and both are very friendly and highly skilled. I have a very particular way I like to style my hair, and they have always taken the time to make sure I am happy with my cut when walking out the door. Given that they always get it right on the first go around. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a pristine haircut at a comfortable and cozy location in the Santa Clara area! read more

I have been coming here for 10 years At least. Fast traditional type barbers who does a nice job on my hair (either one). I do travel across town to come here, never disappointed. Not open Mondays. read more

I've been going here for 12 years now and Tim is the best barber in the world. I have recommended Cedar Tree to many of my SCU friends and they all go here. Keep up the great work! read more

Old school barber shop. The barber is all about business, not talkative but get the job done, exactly hoe I like it.
