Best barbershop in Imperial Beach. Both my sons have been coming here since they opened and we wouldn't go anywhere else. I highly recommend Faded Craft. Ask for big Jorge. read more

Finally found a good walk in barbershop, all employee are friendly and treat my kids good. Hair cuts are top notch

Bad service, Eric did none of the three things I asked of him. And what I asked not to be trimmed he did trimmed. Rushed through my whole cut I left in under 20 min. Would not recommend this place read more

Look, many parents will never admit to what I am about to admit. Most parents think their children are just so great. Perfect little angels if you will... While others look on with fear and judgement in their eyes. Not me. Not I. I will admit it. My little boy is one heck of a handful. The anti-Christ if you will. We call him 'The Tornado' at home! You can't get him to sit still, even if you offered him all the candy and toys in the world. Which is what happened on Saturday. My husband took the little booger to get his hair cut here. I received a ton of texts from my daughter and husband during their trip there: "He won't sit still." "He took off his shoes." "He is laying on his side." "Now he is laying on his other side." "He's jumping and screaming that he is a Minion." All I wanted to know is, "is the barber okay?" "Surprisingly, yes." "Then tip him...WELL!" My son came home looking so handsome with his new hair cut. HOW the barber managed to do such a great job is beyond me. But his professionalism, patience and talent earned this shop the 5 stars. It's clean. It's fast. It's PERFECT. Thank you guys! We will be back....I'm sorry. lol read more

Kinda expensive for sum quick cut that's Probably not worth 20bux maybe 12. Wait time sux period I called before coming was 5 minutes away then I get here and vualah waited 1hr before I decided to walk out. If u ain't got anything to do after u get a haircut then you'll be fine waiting for a good hour or 2. Bring ur camping gear a cell battery pack a 6 pack 2 grams of cron your gold fish just in case and a shower pack. In short words be ready for new years its gonna be a long wait... ... ..... wait what was I talking about oh yeah the wait gave me altzimers. read more

Faded Craft Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Had an appointment and barber didn't even show up or answer his phone.. ending up waiting 2 hrs on a Friday

I've been wearing my hair style the same way for the last 20 years and almost every time it was cut different, not the length I asked for, visible lines in the fade, etc. Once I'd find someone good, I'd move because I never stay in the same place too long. So after a round of bad hair cuts. Shops not being open when they say they are. I went on a mission this morning to find a good barber shop, where fades are done right. About 8 shops in the area said they opened at 9 am. After the third shop I was about to call it quits, but I found this shop. I walked in and there were already 3 Barbers working and the cuts they were doing looked to be on point. When I was called up by Leon, I explained the situation. I described the cut. He cut my hair and it was exactly what I asked for. It's a simple fade, but you'd be surprised at many people mess it up, Leon didn't. Again it was exactly what I asked for. Best fade I've had in years. I'll be back. read more

Got a haircut here in the middle of the pandemic. I highly recommend calling, they do take walk ins but expect a longer wait. They all are professional in the shop and you will walk out looking good! read more

Too expensive just for shaving a bolt it took her 7 minutes she charged me $35 I will never go back to this place.

Ive been coming here for years but its finally over. Ive been blind for years , but this place has turned into a joke. Back in the day this place was a respectable establishment, where one would go to get a mediocre haircut for an average price. I walk in on 6/20/22 and these two amateur looking barbers are cutting hair. I walk in and sit there for a little while when they amateur tells me "we are booked until 4 sorry". Its currently 12;30. The first thing that goes through my head is no... theres no way you're booked up until 4, you're not THAT good. Of all the times i got a haircut here , i never walked away saying , wow what a great haircut. I thought "hey i could've did this myself" its really disappointing to see such a mediocre haircut. Maybe faded craft needs to learn their craft better. read more

I had been looking for a barber near my house forever and had been going for the most part to Fade Factory on Hollister Street which is a GREAT place and heard of a new Fade Factory opening up on 13th Street, which is walking distance to my house. I walked in one Friday morning accompanied with my 3 year old nephew and was immediately greeted by Jorge the Barber who was very nice to my little rug rat. He immediately seated me and gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. All the while keeping my 3 year old entertained. Afterward he asked if my little one needed a haircut and gave me half off on his haircut. Great customer service, great prices, and great location. Imperial Beach has now gained a GREAT BARBER. I highly recommend the Fade Factory Barbershops. read more

Faded Craft Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Today was my first time taking my son to this place. He starts school on Tuesday, and I was hoping he was going to get a nice cut. You can tell some of the other barbers have skills in cutting hair, but this one guy in particular (young, white Complexion) does NOT!! I waited two hours just for my son's hair to get F#@"ed up. He wanted to charge me ten dollars and I was like seriously?!!!! "You messed up his hair", I said. He wanted to school me on the way I should describe his cut with more detail. Seriously, how much more detailed can I get.. I said can you give him a comb over with a half a clip fade on the side. Scissors on top just a trim. IDK did he want me to take the machine and do it myself?? wow!!! Hey he's the one with the barber license!!! Poor guy he started off good but then IDK.. He doesn't have the skill on point.. In conclusion I grabbed my son and walked out.. It was a free cut but a f@$#ed up one.. read more

Faded Craft Barber Shop - The epitome of someone who messes up kids hair. - Barbers Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Don't come unless you got some time to burn. I didn't even get a haircut because I had plans and didn't expect to have to wait longer than an hour. This is my local barber but I don't plan on returning and wouldn't recommend this spot to anybody read more

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU LIKE YOUR HAIR! These dudes suck! unprofessional, unsanitary, and dirty shop. I work right down the road so I figured it would be convenient. Well it sure is convenient not to have to style my hair in the morning because I had to have the dude cut the rest of my hair off after he butchered my hair and had me looking like simple jack. Thanks a lot bud. The funny, well not so funny to me, part about it is I walked back into work, everyone had a good laugh, took their pictures, and then proceeded to tell me to never go there because about 8 of our other co workers had the same experience I did. Go to Exclusive on Palm down the road. Ray will hook you up. You may wait a minute, but its better than having to walk around looking like Mr. Clean now. Oh, and not to mention 2 separate random dudes walked in with a grocery bag full of clippers, cut a "clients" hair and the left. Its clear now why there are no barber licenses on the wall. - Coby read more

It looks like a good barber shop, but I can't tell you I've been there three times all three times I waited two hours just to be bumped by someone else that walks in. They have a sign in sheet that doesn't work. Maybe they have enough customers and don't need any new customers like myself which gets a hair cut once a week. To bad it's near a navy base with a lot of folks that need good fades. read more

This spot is great! Everyone in there is friendly and quick but at the same time do a great job I would definitely recommend this place to anyone trying to get a fresh cut ! You Can't go wrong with any of the barbers they all do a very good job read more

Faded Craft Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Went back here to give this place another shot this afternoon. I gotta admit that I got one of the best cuts I've ever had from Charles. He took his time and my hair is looking SHARP. I left a tip and will most certainly be back. I'm digging the 3 or 4 flat screens with the games on. Again, the place is clean and has a pretty chill vibe to it. read more

Great barber shop ! Shout out to Jorge highly recommended . Always great going in and getting the cut I want ! Shout out fade factory

Thank you Sergio for taking the time on my son's hair. We will never go to another barber. You got the lines perfect. Now he is ready for his first day back to school tomorrow! Thank you again! I also love the atmosphere here! read more

I had taken my sons here once before and had a pretty good experience. I brought my sons back a few weeks later to get cut up again, since the regular barber shop that a few of these guys USED to work at is always busy. I'm not a nit-picky customer and I'm not even critical about haircuts... it'll grow back!! Keep in mind I haven't EVER felt the need to do a Yelp review, good or bad... but TONIGHT... I took my sons and we WALKED OUT! The 2 chairs in use were cutting young children... maybe 2 years old and the other maybe 4? but the music was blasting, the neighborhood thugs were playing foosball, the hoodrat was hanging out... and to top it off... 2 of the 3 BARBERS were drinking Dos Equis!! I noticed one of the barbers try to tell the others to chill out, but they shrugged him off. I've grown up and raised my sons in South San Diego, but I could see that my sons were uncomfortable and SCARED... I gave these dudes a chance, because I know the guys at the other location, unfortunately I will not be bringing my sons here again. I ended up having to drive around IB to anywhere that was open to get my boys cut...Manager... the buff guy wasn't drinking... the tall guy in the close chair hid his beer in the top right shelf... the young cats playing foosball had "water cups"... the tatooed white guy was probably tweaking... I don't know what else to say... That's not what I want my kids to see when I take them to the barber. Best of luck to you. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would Completely ignored me when I waked in. The next guy walked in " oh hey man what's up, go ahead and sign in" After about 10 minutes I was asked if I'm waiting for someone... No. I obviously signed in and needed a haircut. Instead he tells me none of them do any designs or lines that I wanted.... As he's shaving a mole rat tail into someone's head. Seriously these dudes were all assholes and wouldn't even look at me bc I'm a girl that wanted some lines. That was complete bullshit. Completely disrespectful, every single one of them. read more

I live in southeast San Diego and I commute every week to Fade Factory Barbershop to get a weekly cut by my favorite barber jorgethebarber never a disappointment always a compliment! Let Fade Factory Barbershop be your ultimate fresh cut experience! I know it has been mine! read more

Everything is good just avoid the guy on the right hand side with the neck tattoos, I've got my hair cut twice by him and he just doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Crooked lines all the time, I swear he seems stoned all the time. read more

First I booked an appointment online as they told me to do so. I get there 10 mins before and barber was busy and had no idea I was on schedule. I asked another barber if he could cut me because he was just on his phone . He took me , worst mistake I could have done. I told him I was in a hurry and couldn't wait for the other guy to finish so maybe that's why he wasn't good. Gave me a basic mid fade , not once did he offer to line me up or straight edge me with blade . Bought product from store (over priced) and still gave nice tip. Didn't see cut right away but once I got home to shower I noticed everything. Both sides are uneven , didn't line up any of my hair . Very quick and basic for $35 . Best thing he did was trim my mustache , didn't even ask to trim beard . Only upside is that they were not busy but I will never return. Barber is the first one on the right with tattoos , has gauges in ears. Never even got the name . Take business elsewhere if you get the chance . read more

I was in town on business and looking a little shaggy. So I stopped by this place. Nice shop. Very clean. And when I showed up there was no wait. Jorge cut my hair and I walked away pleased. I was in the army for almost 10 years and have had some horrible fades in my day. This might be one of, if not the best cut I've gotten. If I'm ever back in town and in need of a cut I'll be back for sure. read more

I think you should let people who walk in know that the wait will be over an hour. My husband & boys left with no haircut due to the barbers having appointments..(which is understandable) but when you keep going on breaks in between your appointments, that is inexcusable. Don't waste your time here! read more

Jorge be getting down with the skin fades great customer service tooo ! Always giving me the best cut every week ! Can't lie this shop gets down. read more

Cool staff and dope environment. I don't let no one except one of the barbers here touch my hair.. Come every week to get cleaned up. I bring all my friends here and recommended anyone who wants to look to come by. Good prices and skilled barbers. I got no complaints. When you come by ask for Jay, he's one of the coolest barbers you'll ever meet. read more

Asked for a low fade. What I got was a high fade at best, closer to a high and tight. Barber argued with me and said I should have asked for a taper. I've had good cuts from Charles but will never let anybody else here touch my hair. read more

if you want to go to a place to be ignored, this is the place.i took my husband here to get his beard shaped and hair cut, but the person there completely ignored us for the 15 min+ we were there. didnt ask what we were in for, didnt say how long the wait was just ignored us, after the disrespect we just walked out so i want to update this review, the owner contacted us and was gracious enough to let us come back and see if they could redeem themselves. my husband went back and get a hair cut and his beard cleaned up and shaped, the stylist were much better this time, the greeted him, sat him down at a reasonable time and the place was pretty clean. all in all i think he was happier this time. this was during a week day after he got off work, so im not sure how much that made a difference read more

This place is the cleanest and service is the best! All of the barbers here are awesome, although Jorge is our barber. I have an 6 yr old autistic son who has never liked getting his haircut but he lets Jorge cut his hair! Jorge is very patient and careful with my son and does an excellent job getting his line up just right! I highly recommend this place you won't leave disappointed! read more

DO NOT GO THERE UNLESS U HAVE AN APPOINTMENT. These guys surely know how to cut hair but lack customer service skills. I didn't have appointment but stopped as a potential new customer. Besides telling me to sign in I could have been invisible. It seemed all the barbers had appointments. No one told me this... I found out by waiting and watching. Why even have a list for walk-ins? I ended up walking out. Customer service is part of the experience. I really think you guys can do better by potential new clients. read more

First time here to get my son's haircut. Very pleased with the outcome. Barbers are great and they know what they are doing. Definitely won't be taking my son anywhere else. read more

Followed my Barber SouthBayJoe to this shop. Like the overall vibe and style of the shop definitely up and coming sure to be a staple in IB. Joe brings an old school approach of professionalism and attention to detail to somewhat of a lost art. With good conversation and genuine passion for people, I Want to recommend Joe and the Fade Factory to anyone looking for haircut, lineup or shave the man does it all!!! read more

This is a great spot. The wait isn't bad as they usually have a good amount of babers on duty. All of them cut hair great. I take my 2 boys there and they are great with my special needs son. They always have music on ( not blasting like other lame places) or tv shows on. Shout out to Jorge, Segio, and Raul. read more

Took my nephew here, he was only 3 years old and Jorge took care of him very well. I was happy to see how nice he was with kids and patient! You should definietly call in for an appointment if you don't want to wait. Overall great experience here. read more

This barber shop was very dirty. There was hair all over the floor and two barbers sitting around. How come they couldn't sweep? Neither of them was friendly or welcoming. My son did get a nice hair cut, but I won't be back because their customer service is horrible and I don't want to step on a bunch of hair. read more

Walked in was greeted by all three barbers that was working. Signed in at this point it was 12/29/2016 930am or so in the morning. No wait got a seat right away. Forgot the barbers name. Short Filipino cat tatted up was a cool dude. Asked me what I wanted I told homey what I wanted. He did a good job left him a tip. And bounced out. Thanks for your business and I'll be back. read more

I have been getting my haircut on base for years, and I've decided that I need to find a reputable barbershop. IB Fade Factory is the it! Two different guys have cut my hair and they've both done a fantastic job!! I have found my barbers!! The place is clean, good atmosphere, good for kids. The barbers are courteous and respectful. You don't have to be concerned about profanity and vulgar patrons. I'm recommending this place to all my friends. I'll always come here as long as I live in IB. Who knows, I may make the drive if I move. read more
