Seriously shocked that this place doesn't have a 5 stars. The owner is super kind and is clearly one of the best in the game. She was not only able to get my son in and out quickly, his cut was so clean. I should've known she was fire when the young men were getting their hair cut there. Additionally, the owner Coats poured into my son and encouraged him to continue reading and incentivized him reading buy letting him know she would reward him on his reading journey. Loved the energy so much! read more

Excellent, professional and timely services. Thank you for the awesome shave and hair cut.

Been coming to coats for a few decades now. This barbershop is an essential part of downtown Pittsburg. I used to come with my uncle when he shot his television show here back in the day. I came here in high school to get my shape up when I had braids now 15 years later I'm getting faded. My older cousin takes his son here, he used to get cut here too, his dad who Was my uncle that I mentioned earlier used to bring him here. So Krystina has been cuttin hair I my fam for a few generations. I really like the bringing together of people here. We joke around, we sing, the music is always on a mature level never any cursing or ruckus coming out of the speakers. I've met her son before it's like a family reunion when I come. I've seen lots of the same faces, feels good to know we looking after each other. The shop is in its original state so no gentrification going on here. I recommend coats hands down just try to come during the week because weekends are no appointment first come first serve... all the barbers that cut here are qualified! read more

See all

Love, Christina and Company. If you want a good hair cut design at a reasonable price go see Coats Barbershop, you can't go wrong!

The most unfriendly barber shop i've ever been to. People were walking in, no one says hi to anyone, and they don't tell you how long, or who's next. Its up to the customer to figure it out. Everyone is in lost land, and when it came to the cut, terrible. The lady didn't even trim my top hair, and i was afraid to even let her try, after just sitting there for an hour and experiencing that terrible customer service. Just my 2 cents, and as i see here, not only my 2 cents. Seems to be a trend. A terrible way to present the downtown side of Pittsburg. Pittsburg doesn't deserve this presentation. read more

Wow, this place has terrible customer service. I just finished having lunch with my kids and while I finished paying and getting my one year old ready, I told my daughter (she is 17) to go on ahead and take her little brother (he is 8) to the barbershop to get started on a haircut. I walk over a few minutes after they got there and they are still standing at the door. There was one barber there that barely looked up at. He was too busy sitting and dicking with his phone to be bothered. I'm like what happened? My daughter says they didn't acknowledge her, that one girl saw them come in and said "I have to go to the bathroom", and left. I was left completely baffled. Obviously they don't need my business, so I will not be going back, ever. If I could leave no stars I would. Rude ass employees. read more

The barber with dreadlocks can't fade. He left my hair looking so bad I ended up going to another barbershop to get it fixed.

Our family's experience has been wonderful. My Son has been going here 5 years now. His Granny brought him the first time & cuts have been right every time. The owner opened early to give my son a cut for his senior picture appointment. We appreciate the service we have experience and my son enjoys the barber shop man talk. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but get to know them & give them a chance. read more

Sadly i have to give Coates one star. Mrs. Coates the owner is great she is a woman of integrity and decency but some of the Barbers who she has working in her shop are far below the expectations and standards I think she has. She has always been nice and kind but twice now I have gone into that Barbershop and twice I have left disappointed, the first time a half an hour before closing approximately a year-and-a-half ago I brought my nephew in for a haircut and there were three Barbers and none of them wanted to cut his hair because it was so close to closing; now mind you he was two-and-a-half years old so the cut would not have taken that long but they refused to provide service. I told mrs. Coates about it and she gave us a free haircut for him whenever I brought him in again sadly though I went in there this past weekend and I took a 16 year old friend of my son's, this young man has severe acne body acne so when the young barber in the middle I don't know who he is but he's a light-skinned young man, started cutting his hair according to the kid he was pressing too hard with the clippers because I guess he nicked the skin or the pimples ar the back of his neck and his neck started to bleed. Instead of this barber being professional, the barber rather made a big scene and chatised the young man while he was in the chair in front of a Barber Shop full of people. He then came over to me where I was getting my hair cut my Mrs. Coats and proceeded to derride me and tell me how I should have let him know the young man had lesions and things in his head which I had no idea in the first place, this guy walked outside and just made a big scene came back inside went and put on rubber gloves and complained about how his Clippers had now been contaminated. I understand his issue what I did not appreciate was how he humiliated this child in front of a barber shop for the people then decided that he would chastise me for something I knew nothing about, the unprofessionalism was disturbing and disgusting and in fact bordered on abuse of a child He finished the young man's haircut and I paid him and when we left that 16 year old boy got into my car and just broke down and started crying because he had never been so humiliated and embarrassed in his lif. He already is self conscious because of his bad acne but for that adult, that professional to humiliate him and disrespect him on such a level that I have never seen ever done in a barbershop before and I'm 50 years old and I have and have taken dozens of kids young people to get their haircuts, is unbelievable and for that and that reason alone as long as he sits in a Coates chair I will never ever come back or subject another child to that type of abuse because that was child abuse plain and simple. read more

This place is good but they need to work on customer service. No one approached us, I had to say hi can someone help us, and still didn't respond for a least 30seconds. Super awkward! But once I started a convo they were nice and friendly. read more

Objectively: Very dirty interior- Windows/floor/stations are visibly grimy- The windows are filthy. Staff heating food on the shop floor. Not greeted by any staff after arriving. (3 staff within a few feet of door- I wasn't invisible or out of sight of the staff) Almost unintelligible on the phone (not just one person- two!) They do not honor scheduled appointments. Subjectively: Poor Customer Service. Stations are messy and gives the appearance that they just don't care. Staff not dressed as if they are working in a professional business/atmosphere- also gives similar impression. I own and operate a couple small businesses- I would never write a review that was not fair and honest about another small business. This is not an establishment worth any effort to visit. read more

I have been going to Coats for 13 years now... Kristina always gives her all to every cut. She does her best to be on point, consistent, and to give you a cut that will have people complimenting you on how you carry yourself for days on end... When some people cut your hair, your friends will compliment the barber, but when Kristina cuts you, people will compliment you on how good your cut makes you look... Several years ago, I stopped even telling Kristina what I want her to do, and I allow her to do what ever it is that she believes will look good on me. I trust her judgment that much. I am in the military so we don't always get good haircuts, but whenever I am anywhere near Pittsburg, California, there is only one barber that I will trust anywhere near me with a pair of clippers... I promise you. Go in to Coats and ask for Kristina... Or Kellen... or any of the barbers. I assure you, you'll end up hooked like me. read more
