Manny cut my 8 year old son's hair. The service was excellent and the cut turned out great. Best of all, he made easy conversation with my son. My son later told me that Manny felt like his best friend. The hours are convenient and it is one of few shops that is open later on Sundays. The shop itself has a laid back vibe and a friendly dog that was happy to greet us. I highly recommend and we will be back! read more

Be very careful when you go here. Barber by the name of G. He doesn't listen, easily distracted, not a good barber and inexperienced and really f*ed up my head. Do not go here. I just wanna add that, I am very stupid for not reading the yelp reviews before going here because clearly G sucks. read more

Dame and Dapper Barber Shop - I got this nasty message from some basic loser, Manny C. No one was rude to G the barber. Do be mad, be better. - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been coming to G at this shop for the past couple 6yrs and cannot stress enough how GREAT of a job he does! I've had horrible experiences with haircuts before coming to his shop and was so blown away by his work ethic. He actually listened to what I wanted and worked WITH me instead of just chopping away. Always recommend coming to G for a cut to anyone looking for a new place. As a gay man, he creates a very comfortable environment to be in without worrying about having to "fit in". I'm still extremely happy after all this years coming in read more

G is one of the best in the game when it comes to skin fades. I've never had a barber who consistently leaves me looking this clean. I've been getting cuts with him for years, and I live in New York now, but every time I'm back in San Diego I make sure I book with him cause the barbers in NYC just don't get me right like he does. Also the shop is always good vibes with good convos. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great cut! read more

Awesome service and always a pleasure to walk in and friendly staff, G has been taking care of me for a few years now. Highly recommended come see G. read more

Wanted to come on here a give Rich a shout out, took my son and he was great listened to my sons request, great cut. Friendly and very professional great service will definitely come back :)... stop by and request Rich read more

G did such a great job on my sons hair, he actually listened to what he wanted done & cut it exactly like he asked. He was very polite & overall the best vibe we've experienced since moving to San Diego. His prices are 100% competitive to the area- We will definitely be back & absolutely recommend others do the same!! read more

Best barbershop I've been to in San Diego. My hubbys cut was perfect!! The vibe in there was chill & the barber G was very professional, and accommodating paying attention to detail. Definitely found out new barbershop! read more

I very rarely write reviews on any websites or for any products, but felt compelled to do so this time. My guy G, the head barber at the Dame and Dapper on Washington, has had some misinformation put out about him and it's not sitting well with me. I been living in San Diego for 13 years now, and G's been my go to barber for 10 of them. I've followed him to about 3 or 4 different shops over those years, including his own crib during Covid, because G's consistency and professionalism are unmatched. It's been that way the entire time I've known him. He's always available and has accommodated last minute cuts for me more times than I can recall. He's never made me wait or failed to give me a heads up if life gets in the way. I'm a grown man and value my time, and G respects that and the time of his customers. By the way, the cut is always crispy and has been for a decade and counting. Don't buy into the misinformation from other reviews. Use caution when putting credence into negative reviews from people who are emotional or defending a former employee. I don't know specifics of any things beyond my experiences with Dame and Dapper and G, and they've been positive. If you want a personable guy who can shoot the breeze and fade you up with his eyes closed, this is the place. read more

Love this place & each time is better than the last. E.V is the man & a wizard with the clippers

It's been a good 6 years since I've been to Dame and Dapper. Have gotten my hair and beard done by a handful of the staff. Everyone has always been awesome. Needed a last minute cut and was able to squeeze in. Happy to see G is still there. He has always been so great to me. Always taken care of me and has me feeling good about myself as well as looking good by the time I leave. Great spot with a competitive price for the neighborhood. read more

I've been a regular here for about a year. I want to say thank you to the two gentlemen that are always friendly and enjoyable to spend time with. Manny is the first face I usually see. I get my ears lowered by "G" however and my hair looks perfect every time. I notice they are friends and friendly with every person in the area too. A lot of folks say hi when they walk by and that says a lot about these two guys. Again my hair always looks great and that's why I keep coming. Great vibe and great hair every time . Thank you G for the good vibes and great cuts !! read more

I was really disappointed with the haircut I got from G. I asked for a shaggy, queer faux-hawky cut and brought in several reference photos. What I got was a "8 year old boy choosing his own haircut for the first time" mohawk, complete with a shiny, stiff point. The skin fade on the sides is well done, but I feel like G didn't even bother to look at the photo examples I brought. G offered to add some product to make it look more messy and organic, but my hair is too short now to get anything close to the look I wanted. I was really hoping for a gender-affirming cut from a "queer barber" but this was just one more horrible haircut experience. I feel what I wanted was ignored. I liked my hair better before it was cut, and I wish I hadn't got it done. Also wound up covered in someone else's hair under the drape, but honestly that's the least of my concerns. The shop itself is small but has a chill, intimate vibe. There were a few queer guys there for the other barber, so maybe they're better. read more

I love my man G. Best haircut in years. If you see this G ILY mucho. Great ambience btw.

Manny gave me the most crispy line up. It's not often you find a barber who's that good with a straight razor!

Manny did a great job. I came in town from Vegas unexpectedly and needed a cut. Manny took his time and great care of me.

Great service and great haircuts. This is a laid back but professional establishment. G always takes great care of me when I come in. I've never gotten a bad haircut here and know that I never will. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality haircut. read more

Veey professional and clean hair cuts, it has been my go to since its opened. Manny and G will most definitely satisfy Youre needs.

Great quality service. As a military personnel my schedule is never the same and always changing. Whenever I need a quick cut they are always willing to work with me in any given notice. G has been incredible not only does he do amazing cuts but he's very personable with me and the customer. Highly recommend! read more

Walked in and everyone was chill, we shared a brewski and had a good time - G gave me the quickest haircut which ended up being just perfect. These guys get it - good vibes. read more

Great cuts, good prices. G with the quality fades. This is my second time around. Highly recommended.

Great service. Great haircuts. I am a female. I say that don't be concerned about shut out. When I stated going to a barber I was reject "men and boys only." Until I tried this one. Great people! Talented. read more

I have been going to Dame and Dapper since January 2022 when I moved to the neighborhood. I usually get nervous changing barbers but after my first cut with G, I never felt more confident in my hair style. I am in such a routine with getting my cut with him now that I don't even need to tell him what I want, he just knows. I have received many compliments from friends about my hair and I usually never did before I started getting it cut by G. I definitely recommend him, even if it's your first time at Dame and Dapper, just be sure to tell him what you want how you want it and he will work with you to get you looking right. The whole experience at Dame & Dapper is pretty smooth. It's a small shop but it's chill. All Barbers are very welcoming and it is more of a laid back vibe. They usually have some old school movies or TV shows playing on the TVs which I actually look forward to each time I go there. It's clear that they have many regulars who frequent this barbershop because I always see the same faces coming in and out, some to get a haircut and some just stop by to say hi. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the service here! read more

Even though they (yelp) remove my review I will re-post it. I had a negative experience here do to their lack of professionalism and bad attitude from the barber. I wouldn't recommend this place and what makes it worst of an experience is that they don't even own up to it and make Yelp moderators take it off. So if you have a bad experience now, you can't even write about it on yelp. read more

Visited a couple of times, Alyxx handled my cut and I had a great experience. It's clear they maintain high standards with the professionalism of their barbers. read more

10 out of 10 service, haircut, fade and overall environment. If you were looking for the best spot to get a great experience...you found it

Dame & Dapper is the best barbershop in the neighborhood. Fact. After recently moving to San Diego I had to start the always difficult process of finding the right barbershop. Over the course of 2 years I tried 7 different shops and 8 different people to only experience one bad haircut after another. That was until I met G at D&D. G is that guy. He is magic with clippers in his hands. This guy consistently gives out the best fades and cuts in the area while also setting up a shop that has the best vibe. There's always good stories, there always laughs, always good food recs, and always something cool on TV to watch. I've seen dozens of people in this shop and they all walk out the door looking fresh. If you're in Yelp going through barber after barber trying to find the right spot, call G. 10/10. read more

I had to change my original review after someone from the organization felt the need to flat out lie on Yelp and criticize me for my not wanting to donate to someone that appeared to be taking a vacation and unable to pay for it. I received an email that said NOTHING about underprivileged youth, but was about a barber from your establishment taking a trip to show people how to cut hair. It said nothing about this individual looking for donations to help those in need, but rather, to fund his trip since all costs have been out of his own pocket. I am including the email that you sent to me and would love for you to point out exactly where it mentions donations were to go to underprivileged families. There is a reason I no longer support your business, and your response and the lies you posted solidified why I will never return. If you're going to lie, make sure you remember what you wrote in an email to your customers, rather than making it up as you go. Now all of your potential customers will be able to read that you lied just like I knew all along. Telling the truth isn't difficult. Oh, and STOP having your friends and family write your reviews. It's just sad. read more

After shaving my own head for years, I decided to give the local barbershop a try for something cleaner and more refined. Unfortunately, I walked out with a HEAD FULL OF SCARS. Sure, I nick myself here and there when I do it, but nothing so pervasive and nothing as big as all of these scars. It's embarrassing, disturbing, and. NOT the look I was going for right before a big trip with friends. Not a boost to confidence :( I thought after a couple of days, the scars would start to go away, but they aren't. The lady apologized, but in a casual "they are no big deal" type of way that wasn't indicative of them actually being a real problem that is the first thing people notice when they see me. I wish I would have stayed home, saved the $55, used my Mach3 Turbo, and saved my skin from this horror. What do i do to get rid of these and make them heal faster? read more

Dame and dapper is a great shop , good ppl and good vibes, always get clean cuts here.

First time coming here and it was very easy to make a last minute appointment. All the other barbers in the area were booked for the same day. I really liked my cut from here and will definitely come back. The staff here was nice and friendly. read more

Last week I got my hair cut by Donnie, and let me tell you. To say I enjoyed the experience, is an understatement. He has a heart of gold and a solid work ethic. Even after a busy day of work he still put forward good energy and gave me a solid fade and beard trim. My favorite part of the whole thing was the conversation. It felt I was talking to a member of the family and he gave me some good life advice. He's a little older so I imagine it all comes from a time where barber shops were a community space. 10/10 job and definitely will be coming back! read more
