This was my first visit to Faded. The lady who cut my hair for the past 26 years retired and I had to find someone new. Faded received excellent review so I scheduled an appointment. Glad I did. Anthony is excellent. He took his time understanding what I wanted and delivered. read more

I highly recommend this Barber Shop! Rob! Thank you brother!! Excellent service, extremely professional, and the vibe was stellar! I haven't had this good a haircut in a long time. No joke you're the best barber I've had and I'm not going anywhere else! Mahalos bro read more

My son loves his Barber. We were recommended to see Tomas by Marc R. He is always looking fresh with his hair maintenance. My son gets a skin fade most of the time and always looks handsome. It is always good vibes in the man saloon. Looks like we will be returning soon. read more

Anthony is my barber, and he's the best. Not only does he give great haircuts, but he also gives me Bitcoin tips, financial advice, and life coaching -- all included with every haircut. He's an artist. read more

This place is by far the best barbershop in the village very relaxing good environment, cleanly and professional service. Can't say the same about similar barbershops in the area. Jaime's been getting it done for years in there, ask him by name when you get in there. read more

Do NOT GO HERE! I've been here multiple times due to how close the barbershop is to my home thinking each time that they would even somewhat give me the haircut I tell them. And each time I walk out I'm extremely frustrated with the haircut they give me. Even after telling the barber cutting hair 10x consecutive times to give me a line up he ignored my request. This barbershop is trash you like the hair on your head looking sharp this is not the place for you... read more

Super excited to be the first to review this place and give Anthony his first 5 star review in his new location! For all those that don't know, this guy is great and has been working in Carlsbad for a long time! This is a great new spot with a refreshing cool ocean breeze. It's clean and fresh cause it's brand new. I hope they keep this place clean and tidy! Get your own yelp page so I don't have to keep starting over. Maybe you're just leaving your praise paper trail t The outdoor waiting spot is great. Thanks for helping us out today Anthony. The mane definitely needed taming! See ya soon! read more

I've been coming here since day one. And so far I have zero complaints. I love the customer service. I love that traditional barbershop banter about sports, food, beers. It's a great shop. Highly recommend. Oh, and by the way, super kid friendly they got this thing where they use skateboards as child seats. Pretty cool. read more

Not only are the cuts on point but they play the jams. Very cool place- great crew and awesome back space to chill between appointments. They take their time and it has that old barber shop feel for girls or boys or whatever you want to call yourself. Thanks for the lotus design on the way out of town. Mahalo and Aloha read more

Godddamn they left me feelin myself a lil too much price was right cut was great if I could give more stars I would, I'll be back

I have been looking for a barbershop like this for over a few years and am so glad Faded opened up right in downtown Carlsbad. I have visited a few times since their opening in Summer and have gotten a perfect cut each time. They really make you feel welcome offering a dope waiting area outside, free WiFi, and free beers on tap for their customers! Shop and bathroom are all very clean and they run AC when it's hot out so I didn't mind waiting a few minutes for my barber to set me up. I have gotten my hair cut by two different barbers but both have turned out great and even spoke to the owner who was in the shop hanging out one day. Cozy spot to get a trim and drink a beer with ESPN playing while you wait. read more

So I met Waldo today and he lined me up and my Son nice tight fade. So happy we met definitely going back with my other son and me next time I need to get my fade high and tight. read more

I didn't get my haircut here, but I would just like to leave them a review because of how nice the guys in here were. I was outside trying to keep an injured bird from going in the street. And when I realized that the bird was a juvenile and needed to be taken to a rehabilitation center, they saw me inside and brought out a cardboard box for me to take him. Who doesn't want a trustworthy barber that saves animals? Just go get your hair did here. They good people. read more

Thomas is the man. Has been cutting my hair and my boys (9 and 7) for past 7 years. Never a rushed cut. True professional.

Walked into Faded barbershop with sign in front "Walk-ins Welcome.". 2 barbers there but no customers. Neither wanted to cut my hair. One said he had appointment at 11:00 but it was only 10:30! The other offered no explanation as to why he wouldn't cut hair at this time -- but asked if I'd come back later. This is the second time I've "walked in" and wasn't "welcome" as their sign said, despite chairs being empty. I've had 2 visits where I got good haircuts but because of the above, I won't be going back. read more

Honestly the best haircut my boys have ever had. I brought my ten year old and twelve year old here and they did not want to try a new place. But they've never been completely happy with their haircuts in the past. I convinced them to try it and they are so happy! They both love their new hair cuts. And they styled their hair this morning before school and it was easy for them to style on their own. read more

This joint is an oasis in a tropical paradise!!! I been getting my haircut by Tomas for 4 years and he hasn't never disappointed. Also this shop has a great waiting area. Plus A/C is always on so your not sweating in the chair. I come here every week and is always impressed. Definitely a number one shop in North County!!! read more

Highly recommend. All the barbers are good, they understand clients' needs, and they are accommodating. Found a few of the barbers years ago and have followed them to the new spot, which is an upgrade (TVs, music, good location). read more

Wonderful hospitality at grand opening. My friend is getting a hair cut and they're doing a wonderful job! read more

This place is awesome. All the barbers at this location are legit, they know their stuff and most of them have been honing their craft for many years. This isn't your cheap-o Supercuts place, so if you're looking for the cheapest cut, go somewhere else. If you want a top quality cut, at a fair price this is your local Carlsbad Village barber shop. Anthony has been taking care of me for years and I always leave his office looking and feeling much better than when I walked in. If you're over 21, and a client, you might even be lucky enough to be offered a free relaxing beverage. read more

So I don't normally write reviews but my experience with this place deserves it. I only get my cut with Jaime, but I am sure all the other barbers here are as quality as Jaime is. At first I was hesitant because the price is pretty steep for a haircut IMO. But, I just want to say this really is one of those cases where you truly get what you pay for. The extra cost is because you are getting a professional cut. And it's never half-assed. Jaime has given me new life to my hair despite my crappy genes. I see a lot of dudes with really nice locks and I've constantly had confidence issues about my hair my entire life because I have thin and difficult to work with hair that just never does quite what I want it to... Jaime has an incredible attention to detail and has gotten my cut to a point where I never knew that my hair could actually look good (or at least that's how I've felt for a good chunk of my life.) Thank you Jaime. You are a master of the blade. A true modern day ninja. I'm gonna miss this place when I have to move. 10/10 would recommend read more

Great bunch of guys. Chill atmosphere and a fantastic location. Solid old school barbershop with a cool modern flair. Wally sent me out looking great! read more

If you are looking to get a fresh cut from some of the best people in San Diego Faded Barber Shop is the place for you. I have been getting my haircut from Wally for over a year now and have never been disappointed. He really cares and does a fantastic job every time! read more

Great service!! Awesome waiting area in the back. Just an overall cool place to get your hair cut.

Great barbers and cool place to hang. I followed my barber here and they are off to a great start. Parking is super convenient with a large public lot right across the street. Beer on tap while you wait. read more

Didn't actually get a haircut so this review is on the customer service. Sign clearly says "walk ins welcome." It was only 2 in the afternoon and I brought my five year old son in for a trim. There was one person who is cutting hair for a customer. He tells me there are two other barbers who just left and he will give them a call. We waited while he called them and asked if someone could come back for a customer, and then got off the phone and told me that they couldn't do today and "would I like to schedule for tomorrow?" ...Does it look like i dragged my five year old son in here to make an appointment at a walk in barbershop just to come back tomorrow?!! Um, no thanks. It's the middle of the afternoon so if no one can is actually available, your sign should be modified to say appointments only. I did however end up finding the best walk in place nearby and couldn't have been happier elsewhere. read more
