I lived in the Bay for 20 years, and crossed the bridge countless times to have Nick cut my hair. I…read morelive in NYC now, and *finally* found a good stylist here, but I still wish I could clone Nick and import him to the east coast. I lost all my hair to chemo in 2014, and growing it out took forever, because of the damage to my hair follicles. My hair also came back differently textured for the first 6-9 months, with lots of grey that wasn't there before. Nick got me through that wretched period, with so much kindness and patience, as well as creative ideas for making the look work while I awaited growth. So grateful for your talent and care for all those years. Thanks, Nick. You're the best.

So happy I found the one. I recently moved from Southern California and had to break up with my…read moreJapanese hairstylist. But now I found K! I was floored by his skills and attention to detail, not only towards my hair but also to my comfort. Making an appointment was easy - just text his number and asked about availability and sent pictures. I drove from South Bay but this was more than worth the hour drive. Plenty of street parking available. Upon arrival at 3:30 pm on a weekday, K greeted me with warmth into his well lit studio. Chic Hair Design is a one man show. I'm not sure about other's preferences, but I appreciate having one expert care for my hair from beginning to end (vs 5 different people passing the baton on different tasks). K inspected my hair thoroughly, made recommendations, and took the extra mile to ensure my shirt stayed clean, that I had something to drink, and kept me laughing with his charming demeanor. He makes it very apparent that he enjoys his career. Color, shampoo, haircut, blow dry, and style took a little less than 3 hours and the result was stunning! K made me feel like a K-drama main character walking out of the salon hahaha. His pricing is competitive - so do tip him generously! Can't wait to come back!

That kind of care and energy means a lot, especially in spaces that don't always feel inclusive. She's professional, talented, consistent, and truly cares about the people who sit in her chair. As a longtime Black woman stylist, she deserves to be protected, celebrated, and supported. The community is better because of people like her. If you're looking for someone who will not only get you right but make you feel seen and respected while doing it, I highly recommend her.

I have to give a huge shout out to Nick at G Circle Barbershop…read more My baby brother has been going to Nick for a long time even before Nick joined this shop, and that says everything. Nick is literally the only person he trusts with his hair now. Watching that level of trust between a barber and a client is nice. Nick doesn't just give a good haircut, he gives a sense of comfort and confidence. What I love most is the dynamic they have. When my brother sits in Nick's chair, he seems less shy. they talk, joke around, and my brother genuinely feels seen. I used to stay for the whole appointment just to hang out, but now I actually step away and let them have their time. I meet him afterward because I know my brother is in good hands, not just with the haircut, but in the environment. It makes me happy to see my brother connect and feel at home there. Nick isn't just talented he's consistent, professional, and creates a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. That's why he has loyal clients, and that's why my brother will always go back. Highly recommend. If you're looking for someone who listens, remembers you, and truly cares about the result go see Nick Cantu.
