Stopped for the first time Friday 9:15 am - they opened at 9 am already busy. I walked in and immediately was welcomed and directed to a chair. My barber Pablo very nice young man listened, looked at the picture I had of what I wanted, and he proceeded to give me an excellent haircut. Note cash only - no big deal worth every penny spent. I will be back in about 4 weeks. read more

Been going here for years always get me right. Super fire cuts still my go to to this day can't lie

A walking barber shop on Danville. There are several stylists, all male. My stylist is Mark, a young Filipino-American. He took time understanding what I wanted. Executed well. In my opinion the haircut was the best I ever had in past 3 decades. read more

What is not to love about this place. They do a great job with all hair types and all ages. I bring all of my kids here and they get to experience a true barber shop without the language concerns. They are respectful and are always kind and fun to be around. There can be a wait especially on weekends, but it is worth the wait. read more

This review is for Manny specifically. He cut my son's hair yesterday and he is true artist. Really did a great job and was so nice. He is our go to guy. Highly recommend! read more

Somehow saw online that they opened at 6:00 a.m. and we're walkin only. Came at 7:15 a.m. with my son only to realize they opened at 9:00 a.m. (apparently the Hayward location opens at 6:00 a.m.) But, no worries. We got donuts next door (IYKYK) and then xame back at 8:45 a.m. as we wanted to be one of the first in line on the waitlist...And they were already open and bumping! There was already several people on the wait list, but they were waiting for a specific barber. When we walked in, Roberto greeted us and asked if we are waiting for anyone specific. Since you weren't waiting for anyone specific, we were able to get in right away!. He got my son in the chair and even let me sit in a "Mom Chair" at a nearby station that wasn't occupied to watch. We showed Roberto an inspo pic for my son's haircut and he did a fantastic job! He made sure to check in as we went forward in the hair cutting process in order to not cut too much or too close, exactly as my son wanted! He was super friendly and did a fantastic job. Roberto was awesome and we will be back! Highly recommend!! read more

Great haircuts and amazing people! They may not do appointments but after coming for a while the relationships you can build are great! A true barbershop feel. The wait can sometimes be a while but you've got a donut shop, slow g's for food and a hospice thrift shop to entertain you while you wait! read more

Gill is a highly skilled barber and one of the kindest people I have met. Our child has a hard time getting haircuts and Gill patiently and kindly takes the time to calm our child and do an excellent job at the same time. It is a bit of a wait but well worth it if you have the time. read more

Best service and fast and my kid likes his haircuts. Would definitely recommend others to try the hair cut here read more

Oh I'll be back here for my next haircut. I was real happy with my haircut. My barber was real cool. he cleaned me up real nice and chatted about random guy stuff. They only accept cash and it's first come first serve. Old school. So you'll have to spend time waiting if it's busy, but it does take you back end the day when you slow your day and enjoy some me time. Enjoy. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is more than just a place to get a regular old haircut. The classic barber shop feel you get the moment you step in along with the skilled and lively barbers that greet you create an ambiance unlike any "barber shop" around the area I've been to. All the barbers here are top notch and for the years I've been coming here I've never had a negative experience. I always leave this place feeling and looking good! Shoutout to Gil for always providing excellent service. Always looking forward to my next visit! read more

Whoever is free for a cut when I walk in I take them. I don't even have a set barber, because I know whoever is standing behind that chair is going to cut my hair amazingly, and with care. They have superb attention to detail. Everyone in there is great at what they do. I would give 6 stars if I could. Great group of people in there. read more

I have been going to this place for about 5 years. One of the best barbershops in the area. The whole team is very skilled

This update must be done! Hands down, wonderful barber shop! No, not in the cutesy-wootsie section of Downtown Danville, this is right off the freeway in the Smart & Final shopping center.  Once inside, you'll feel as if you stepped into a classic barber shop where haircuts and sports reign. Busy busy shop, 5-6 barbers led by Jason, spend 30-45 mins per customer, spitting out one happy one after the next -- and they appeared to be on first name basis as customers and barbers, so yes, they are regulars. (I know, I'm now one of them!). The procedure: sign in. Either name and wait for the barber of your choice, or simply leave blank and you'll be called in order. I have my preferences, but I've got my cut by all. Frankly, you can't go wrong with any of them. Super nice gents, cordial as heck. The result = Handsome as I get. 5.0 stars baby! It was a tough ride, but I finally found my new place in NoCal.  $32, cash only. read more

A buddy of mine told me to come try this place for a haircut because they do good work. He referred me to a friend of his who works there named Rafael. So I contacted Rafael, a worker there, through social media regarding a good time to get cut by him and what days and hours he was at the shop and I got no reply from him. Hours after sending him a message he is posting stories on his page so he completely ignored my one single message that I sent him and he even unfollowed me. That is horrible customer service. As a potential new customer I would expect Rafael to reply as soon as he could so he could make a good impression on me which would've been a new customer. Definitely not trying this place for a cut. read more

Look at this on burn on the back of my neck. I could feel it when the barber did it too. I gave an annoyed looking expression, he paused for a sec, and then proceeded hit the razor on my neck again the same way lmao. Also, there's a lot more issues I noticed with my haircut, such as plenty of small hair that got left behind. But it is what it is. Lesson learned. When you see a barbershop look uncultured, just turn around. It's not worth it. The owner is a liar and emotional, the establishment is a fraud and misleading with the way it's advertised on yelp (most of their demographic of customers and barbers are old, melanin-less men with bad haircuts, but they post young, cultured folks in the pics with some decent cuts), the barbers are wack, the cost is higher than Supercuts, with the results trashier than a dorm roommate's first time using the clips. I'm not sure why ppl rate this place so high. They must have never been to a real barbershop or they prolly got begged to give them reviews. And the rest is sheep, coz they don't have a mind of their own. If you know, you know. Don't come here if you know what I mean. The uncultured people will find this post disrespectful. But the real ones will appreciate the honesty so they don't waste their time n money here. The owner messages you when you write a bad review never seen that before. I gave him a call after he responded to my last review spitting lies, and he just talks over you like a child. Told me "come here to say what you gotta say" or something. Is that a threat? Grown man with tantrums. Straight garbage. read more

took my friend randy to get a straight razor shave for his bachelor party ... it was awesome! highly recommend

Rafi Sway and Matthew are good barbers. I try to go at non peak hours because you can wait for a bit. Overall good local shop that is clean and well run. Looking for a cut locally I would def recommend them. read more

Mullet removal time for the kids! JK! This was our first time here. The boys needed haircuts desperately and I saw the great reviews Danville Barber Shop had on Yelp, so thought we'd give it a try. It's walk-in service only, which was fine by me because life is hectic and making appointments for kids cuts hasn't been a priority. We walked in and there are maybe 6 stations on the left, which were full, and a couple people ahead of us in line. We were greeted by a welcoming crew and told it'd be about 30 min. That didn't seem bad, but I was skeptical it would only be 30 given the crowd. Well, the guy was pretty good at predicting the wait because just under 30 min later the first kid was called in! The boys are teens now, and can communicate what they want pretty well, but I helped my younger one a bit, providing general direction. They both walked out happy and I think it's safe to say we'll be back! These guys definitely know what they're doing. Note: they only take cash. read more

Perfect barber shop with really cool guys. My only little gripe is that for years my haircut would always be finished off with a straight razor cleanup on the back. Last couple of times since the expansion it wasn't included by the newer guys. No huge deal but it was something that really added to the experience. Hope it makes a comeback. Everything else is great. Atmosphere, prices , parking, tv's, skill, etc. Keep it up guys, you have a great establishment. read more

Came here to get a cut for prom and I got blessed. Ryan did some great work and got me ready. Definitely going to come back here again.

I got a haircut yesterday and it is by far the best haircut I have had in years. Ryan did an excellent job! This place has a great "old school" vibe that just can't be matched by the "chain" salons. Great service and reasonable pricing! I won't be going anywhere else. read more

Jason and his team are always the best. There was a line out the door getting back to school cuts. Everyone was greeted. Service was incredible. Vibe is super friendly. Barber was great with my 6 year old son! Best barber shop I've ever been to!! read more

I found Danville Shave Parlor on Yelp and can only say that the 5 star reviews didn't do it nearly enough justice. I had grown out my hair/beard and was looking pretty unkempt after two months on leave from a year long deployment to Afghanistan. Returning stateside with CV-19 restrictions lifting left me with hair appointments anywhere else over a month or more of a wait. I tried my luck here at opening (9am) and was able to grab a seat right at Roberto's chair as the whole barber shop filled up immediately. Decorated in classic barber fashion with sports bobble heads lining the shelves fashand with multiple chairs all manned by highly skilled barbers. Roberto took more time than I have ever had before a haircut to study pictures of how I have had my hair cut before, how he planned to cut it, and how I normally styled my hair. Roberto buzzed the sides, trimmed some off the top, set a hard line, and shaped by beard all before finalizing it with a straight razor. The first haircut stateside after an overseas deployment has always been a special occasion and I wouldn't have picked a different place. Danville Shave Parlor has earned itself another satisfied and steady customer from here on out. read more

A barber is a VERY PERSONAL decision... you guys know what I'm talkin' about, right?? Had a great one for 30+yrs, he retired... found another for 10yrs, HE retired... well, I got lucky and found another (he's younger, so he'll outlive me!) Jason is top notch- listens and pays attention to what you're looking for, and does a great job. He "got me" on the first cut, and hasn't missed yet! Oh... and I went 4 months without a cut or beard trim after surgery, and he got me lookin' better than I did before, including a great sculpting on my beard! Hit these guys up for a cut and/or a shave, you won't be disappointed read more

This place was absolutely amazing barbershop. Someone named Danny cut my hair and it was amazing . It was so good I even bought their merch. I bought a nice hoodie from them and I am definitely coming back. read more

After being a customer of Gil at Danville Barber for about two years, I had such an upsetting experience as a customer such that I will not go back and would encourage others to not patronize the business. In November, just before Thanksgiving, I went to Gil at Danville Barber Shop for a haircut and beard trim. Three times, Gil made derogatory statements about Jews. When I tried to deflect his offensive statements, a co-worker of his came over to us and held his cell phone up behind by shoulder. It was playing a video of a weightlifter "fail." I was confused, offended as a person and customer, and left. I will not return and now take my business to Shaky Razor in nearby San Ramon. I would encourage others to also not patronize Gil and Danville Barber Shop. read more

Great old school barbershop. Really busy all the time though, and takes only cash, so plan ahead! Love the local vibe and the gossip you can hear while getting a haircut or waiting for one. Very friendly barbers! read more

I've been going to Danville Barber Shop for 3 years now and I plan on still coming back until I leave California permanently. Never thought I would pay $36 for a cut, but I guess I'm a sucker for a fresh cut, good comradery, and a chill atmosphere. If you come back more than a couple times the guys know your name, and know what you're about, it's definitely a chill atmosphere. This place is hopping at most times, but especially on Fri and Sat, so keep in mind when coming down that there will be a wait, especially if you want a specific barber. I just got in at 845am on Saturday and there was a line already and I just got out at 955. The later it gets the longer the wait. But it's worth it in my opinion, as long as you know what you want and are communicative with your barber every step of the way, you'll have a great experience and you'll meet and talk to some cool people. read more

This crew is straight up fantastic. It's a small shop in an unassuming Danville strip mall, but the place is packed with talent. They're friendly, professional, and above all, they're excellent at their craft. Even though they have a long wait list, you won't feel rushed. Jason and his crew take their time and pay attention to detail. Small inconveniences such as a long wait and cash only, but these are minor qualms. You won't get a bad cut here, guaranteed. read more

Great barbershop! Wonderful service and a funky old school barbershop vibe. Ryan gave me the best haircut I have had in years. No more "chain" salons for me. Fair pricing and impeccable service by skilled hair cutters. read more

i've been coming here for a few years now after usually going to supercuts or other cheap/generic places. although it's more expensive to get a haircut at a barbershop, i think it's worth it. i feel like a regular when i come in -- they all acknowledge me like old friends and it's very comfortable and friendly. additionally, i think i've gotten cuts from each one of them and they've all been very consistent in the quality and giving me what i want. only downside is sometimes the wait times can be long but that's not anyone's fault. just shows you how popular they are and the customers lining up for them. read more

My 5 year omd loves this place. We drive over 30 mintues each way just to see Rafi. Great worh kids.

Took my son here and so happy we did. The crew was friendly with a welcoming smile. People forget that can be an important aspect in a business. With all their good reviews you can tell their work ethic and skills are on point. My son looked great! They even confirmed with me that I was happy with the final look before letting him go. Found our new place to go to! read more

Glad I found this spot when I moved back to the East Bay. Pretty much everyone at the shop has cut my hair and everyone has done a great job. Keep it up. Need the shop opened back soon because this Quarantine took me back to the stone ages with my hair outta control looking like a relative of Fred Flintstone. read more

Great group of barbers who are all highly skilled at their craft. Exceptional haircuts. This is my go to place. Highly recommend. A+++

Gill did a fabulous job today. He always has a friendly smile and positive attitude. Kids seem to always enjoy pulling on his beard. So if you're under 12 years old, feel free to tug on his beard! ;) read more
