To say that this is the best barber I've ever been to would be an understatement. Not only is Kandy great with men's hair (as well as women, she did a phenomonal job with my 84 year old mama!), but she is fantastically interesting and a great conversationalist. Ask her about her geocache skills! read more

I had a great experience at Eye Kandy Barber, my only complaint is when I called to make an appointment with the person who cuts my hair, didn't answer so I left a message but she never got back to me. I called and spoke with Kandy and she offered to take care of me and I would have made an appointment but I needed a haircut that day so I went to my old barber and it was his last day so it all worked out fine. It's just one of those things where it shouldn't be a big deal so I still give Kandy's a high 4 stars. read more

Eye Kandy Barbershop - Awesome cuts all day long. - Barbers Near Me - Chico, California

Found an advertisement from barber Dave on NextDoor saying he was accepting walk in's for cuts the following day. I've had a few cuts in barber shops before (in SoCal) and had pretty good experiences so I called him up and booked an appointment for a trim at noon the next day. The place was easy to find, there was lots of parking and although I got there a few minutes early, he was ready as soon as I walked in. The barber shop was quiet and empty, and I instantly wished there was music playing something like Bob fm, chill, mellow rock, something to make it not so... silent. Dave was really friendly, very welcoming and kind and had good energy so the quiet ended up not being so bad after all. I explained that I just wanted my hair cut straight across, nothing fancy and he got to work on spraying my hair down to start the cut. During my haircut, we talked about life experiences, shopping on Temu (lol, I love Temu!) and how we ended up in Chico. I found him to be interesting, sharing funny stories all while being as precise as he could be with my hair. He checked in with me a couple times to make sure it was what I wanted and within a half hour (or less) all those nasty split ends were gonzo. Chopped off 2 inches :) A fresh cut feels so goooood! I'd definitely recommend him, his prices are super reasonable and he's a genuinely nice dude who deserves your business. Eye Candy Barbershop for the win! read more

Not only great cuts but authentic down to earth people and atmosphere . Great place for neurodivergent people as well

My son and I have been going to the chain store that's GREAT by name, but not so much by product/service at the end of the day. So we've tried shops around town. several in fact. all to walk away either disappointed in the service OR in the final product- most of the time both. Then yesterday, we found our forever home for haircuts. Kandy- was absolutely amazing. My son had been wanting to perm his hair (thank you Patrick Mahomes for that inspiration). Kandy said "Dude, you don't need to perm your hair, you just need to do this:" and she proceeds to show him exactly how to style his hair to get the desired results. From the decor inside (It feels pretty rad to be honest), to the honest service about hair needs and how to do it, to the great conversation with Kandy... I really can only give this a Billy Bob 10. "I give it a ten... a ten... a GODDAMN TEN!" Did I mention she has beer in the fridge for people?!?! Did I mention that she had some good tunes going on?!?! Did I mention that Kandy gives a shit about her clients... like a lot?!?! Seriously, absolutely thrilled to have found Kandy and Eye Kandy... we will be clients for a long long time! read more

The staff is nice, Kandy has a cool space, she cuts hair really well and will be really nice about it. I am consistently happy every time I go. Live long and prosper. read more

It's easy to feel comfortable and welcome at Eye Kandy. Just a great cut with no extra fuss.

Ice cold drinks in the fridge were offered upon arrival. Kandy gave me a quality haircut and beard trim. I will be back.

Came into town to visit the family not looking my best. Saw this place and glad I called and booked my haircut with Dave. Dave styled me up for the family photos! Love the interior, very welcoming, unique, to be backed up by excellent customer service! Can't beat this place! read more

I was overdue for a haircut, and Kandy was the only one who answered my call...I have fussy hair, need scissor cut to keep it manageable. Kandy said, "no problem". She has been my go-to for over three months, and I always get a great haircut! Thanks for having great skills and customer satisfaction! read more

Just a quick shout out to Kandy. First time going there and she hit it out of the ballpark. I showed her a pic and that's all she needed. Very happy! My NEW hairdresser! read more

Crazy very nice people but, I have to say the worse Hair Cut I have gotten in Butte County. I asked for something specific. I have been getting Hair Cuts 44 Years... Nice shop he cut my hair real fast I said a bit off the top he chopped near Bald. No Problem but not what I asked for the Big Bald Headed Guy from Paradise. He shall never cut my Hair again. I even tipped him $4.00 when asked how much he said $16.00 just gave him a $20. Got home and tried to brush comb my hair It is still not even. They owe me a real Hair Cut... I noticed his mirrors are off set from his chair so you can't see what he is doing. I found out when I did get home...Just a Hack Job...What a shame Thought he was a Real Barber... My Name is Lou he has my Business Card read more

This barbershop is great. I called Kandy and she was able to schedule in my bf on the same day. We arrived maybe 30 minutes later and enjoyed chatting with Kandy and her staff while she meticulously worked. I often don't notice the bf's haircuts, but his fade looked military clean and sharp! read more

Did a wonderful job on my sons hair. He's 4 and doesn't like his hair cut. I've been taking him to these kids haircut places and they don't do a good job. He gets the best gentleman style haircut here. read more

Decided to give this place a 2nd chance after a not so great experience the first time. Didn't cut my hair very well... again. Also, she took clippers to my beard scruff and shaped it into a weird douchy chinstrap thing without any discussion at all. At least I got to hear the employees discuss their opinions about school shootings and prison murders. Won't be subjecting myself to that uncomfortable place anymore. read more

Always a good haircut and fun conversation. It's been about a year and her shop looks amazing! I'm always happy to support local and small businesses especially when they offer such good customer service. read more

My son and I both went here to get haircuts. His came out perfect and mine just needed a little fix that Kandy was able take care of quickly. Great atmosphere and you can tell that they truly care about their customers. We will definitely be going back! read more

Love love love this barbershop! I live in LA and I always save my haircuts to coincide with my visits home. Ms. Toni is a master at what she does. The whole shop is amazing. Always a welcoming atmosphere when I'm there. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an incredible haircut and a good time! read more

Got my hair cut today by Kandy for the first time, it won't be my last. Fun, comfortable atmosphere, fantastically decorated with vintage kitsch. Quick, professional hair cut for a great price. Had her take off a lot of hair for summer and she listened to my wants and gave me just what I asked for. read more

I have been a customer since 2018, Kandy always does a great job! So glad she's still here after all of the COVID craziness.

Immediately after entering the doors I was greeted and offered a beer.. it doesn't get much better than that. The cut was great and Kandy is super nice. She cuts hair great and also knows how to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I will be back when they reopen! read more

Got a great shave from Toni today! The atmosphere was great, the conversation was stimulating, and the beer was cold! Seriously, you can come in, have a beer (responsibly of course), get cleaned up, and walk out feeling like a million bucks. Toni knows what she is doing and does it well. Great shave, very soothing. The product that she used on my face and scalp made it feel great and smelled nice too. Toni took the time to be thorough and was always engaging while taking care of me. I am very happy with my experience and will be going back! read more

This is a great barbershop! They have a very talented crew who are great with styles for the whole family.

Kandy is a great barber and the shop is full of positive energy and welcoming vibes. I have a savage cowlick to work with and it's only manageable by the best hair craftspeople. I often will just roll in and ask Kandy for something general and let her take it from there, "Can you please make it short and make me look presentable?" She will take that generality and give me a haircut that I really like and is easy to roll out of bed in the morning with and hides my general dereliction really well. She's great, the shop's great, I love everything about her and her business. read more

I have the pleasure of knowing Kandy outside of her shop. I was looking for recommendations on salons in the Chico area to get my hair done for graduation. Kandy told me that she does hair along with her barbering. We had a consultation to discuss what needed to be done to my hair in order to get what I wanted. When the appointment came around, she gave me exactly what I wanted and needed! I definitely did not feel judged or out of place like some salons can make me feel. I absolutely love my hair and Kandy's shop! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Eye Kandy for all children, men and women's cuts and beard services for men! CATERS TO SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN! My five year old autistic grandson absolutely hated sitting in the chair and getting his haircut. We tried MANY salons and it wasn't until Kandy worked with him and now he LOVES going to see her and get his haircut. Five stars all the way! read more

Great cut, exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait to go back! Kandy is very professional and talented.
