Though I'm not a local, I came in at my wife's insistence as she wanted me to clean up before we saw the family. They were well staffed on this weekend day and I was able to get helped with a short wait. My barber was very friendly, the cut was clean, and my wife was happy. They do have a preference for cash, but they say that they can take cards that can tap. This place was professional and I'd definitely consider coming back if I'm in the area.

I highly Recommend Donnell H's shop! He treats all his…read morecustomers like royalty. This is our family barber shop. We discovered him through his social media and haven't looked back or elsewhere since discovering this wonderful Kingdom. It's right in the downtown Vista neighborhood. We've used his services several times ever since! We can make appointments right through his website links and now he even has an application that you can download. We can even pay ahead of time to make the visits go even smoother if we/you want. Donnell is super respectful and our talented barber! The shop has a cool vibe to it. Saints theme and colors throughout. Cush barbershop chairs too! If you are looking for royalty treatment this might be a place for you too... And again like royalty is how Donnell treats all of his customers! His mentality is "good works deserve to be rewarded" and he says this in the most humblest of ways. The Hubs always raves about the hot towel treatment! And is always happy when he leaves this shop looking and feeling fantastic. I included some before and after images of him (taken by & courtesy of Donell) for reference. So you can see & be the judge for yourself.

I can finally say I've found my barbershop in SoCal. After trying for several years since moving…read morethis way from New England, Kingdom Kutz delivered the experience I was looking for while getting a hair cut. The place is very clean and nicely decorated with a flair of Nola vibe. Donnell and crew are very inviting, and the shop is easy to find with lots of nearby parking options near Main street in Vista. I've had the pleasure of getting cuts from Donnell a few times now and he's nothing but pure professionalism, with a lot of knowledge and eager to help you understand what the best option is and why. I've never received this level of treatment at a barbershop. The warm towel treatment with facial massage is a nice bonus. Thanks Donnell. Looking forward for my next visit.

Give Self Made, and Caolan (@caolancutz), a shot. I grew up getting cheap cuts from place to place but until now in my late 20s never really found a place I knew was reliable. I used to live in Oceanside, nearby to the barbershop, so I gave these guys a shot. I tried other barbers in there, all great by the way, but went to Caolan and never went back. From my first cut with him I could tell that he has a lot of pride in the job and takes a little extra time with his clients to get every hair on your head just right. Plus I didn't always describe what I wanted in the best way but he was still able to figure out what I wanted and made me look as good as I felt. I don't even live in the area anymore but I'm more than willing to make a drive from Riverside down to Vista for an appointment. Everything from a Gentleman's Cut to a clean fade, give this place and Caolan a shot. You won't be disappointed!
