Jun did an amazing job on both of my boys hair, 9 and 7yrs. We will be going back for sure.

Haven't had a real "fresh" haircut since the pandemic surged & took a huge toll on having my go-to barber shop closed for business since mid-March! I helllllla miss my Island City getaway for that fresh fade! Since I'd been needing a haircut, I took a deep breath and pursued to take my business elsewhere for the time being. I've been browsin' around on social media and had came across the master craft of Marc D. aka @raaanjo on Instagram; not to mention, an old homie of mine from awhile back had recommended to check his skills out for a combover cut with a natural part and mid- bald fade. I realized I had mutual friends who followed him on social media, in addition, to the good reviews they had on him - in particular to his attention to detail & how approachable & courteous he is to his clients, both new & old! He is one of the many, talented barbers at Fresh Cuts in Daly City, and it is conveniently located off I-280 in the Government Center neighborhood of the Gateway to the Peninsula! There is ample parking along the streets, and is nearby the popular Krispy Kreme and In & Out Burger, and a whole lot of local places to grab a bite! I had booked my appointment via Booksy, so make sure to book in advance to get freshened / chopped up real good! Upon entering, temperature was taken via a scanner thermometer & was promptly seated with a warm hospitality & a feel-good vibe. Props for that, bro. I explained what I had wanted, since I've been trying to keep my combover cut as clean & neat as possible, and to have that epic look of a fresh haircut. Marc delivered real well & it was a pleasant experience, since we conversated about life in general, up to the current situation that society is facing. Marc took his time in getting my cut done right, with all the small details and making sure that I felt good about it! So honored to be blessed by his fingers & craftsmanship, and it was truly worth the drive from the East Bay! I could say that I'd come back for a cut if I happen to be headin' this way on that side of the Bay! Thank you, Marc! May God bless you in all you do! #CashIsKing read more

Best barber shop in the Bay Area! I've been getting cut by JJ for 4 years now. Not only does he deliver world class fades and tapers, he also is knowledgeable about how to style and texture hair. The shop is clean and remodeled, all of the barbers are extremely friendly and welcoming! I would highly recommend anyone to get their haircut from this establishment. read more

Ignore the person rating this place 1 star. That kid probably made the whole story up, and on top of that, who's going to want to read a review from someone that isn't active on yelp? I've been coming to Fresh Cuts for about 3 years now. I've gone to so many different barbers all over San Jose and Santa Clara (I live in Santa Clara) if I don't have the time to go out to Daly City to get a cut, but nothing compares to the hair cuts they do at Fresh Cuts. I always get my haircuts from Darwin, especially since he's family now, and he's had a lot of experience cutting hair. He's very clean with the way he cuts, and very precise to the point where people at work ask me where I get my hair done. It's best to schedule an appointment with them in advance. They do get pretty busy there, so if you can, be consistent with who you see and get your cuts from. I'm a 30-45 minute drive away from this place, but it's ALWAYS worth the drive to come here for a cut. read more

If your looking for a haircut and your reading this take this as your sign. Been coming here for like 5+ years vibes are always great and cuts are never not on point. I get chopped by Chris but you cant go wrong with anyone at the shop this quality service is hard to come around. They also just revamped the spot so it looks very fresh and clean! read more

Highly recommend this location. I've been going to Darwin for over a decade now. Make an appointment with him and you won't be disappointed! Great customer service too! read more

My son scheduled an appointment to get a haircut here. $50 for a taper?!!! My son came back to the car looking like he just got lined up. What a rip off... read more

I've been getting my haircut from JJ for almost 2 years now. When I heard he was going to be cutting somewhere else, I had to go with. It's hard to find a barber you can trust, especially if you're particular like me. JJ comes through clutch everytime. He is a true professional who never rushes to give you exactly what you want. Fresh Cuts is a nice shop. Parking is easy. Waiting area is well kept. The shop is very spacious read more

I thought was first to yelp this place... I yelped this place but i guess its under a different name... http://www.yelp.com/biz/fresh-cuts-daly-city-daly-city-2#hrid:5Au60nLW54grqIqg0KduWQ When i found out my cousin's boyfriend now husband was a barber and i hopped onto the line-up fad i decided to get lined up from Darwin. I used to go to GG's Barbershop in San Jose but the wait was always too rediculious. Id probably get a haircut faster driving from santa clara to daly city and getting my haircut from Darwin. He's a great guy and respects all of his customers. Another reason why I go here is because im the godfather of his daughter so at time i pay alot for a haircut... haha so either way im knocking 2 birds with one stone. Parking is terrible. I beleive its cash only. If your hungry run to Fil-Am they got great bbq there. read more

I'm a creature of habit and the idea of switching deodorant gives me anxiety. Switching barber's is a very difficult decision to make. but it was necessary on this day. I found Josh on what naysayers would call accident. Called the shop and asked for the next barber with time on Saturday. Josh was that man. The shop is very clean and that's worth a star in and of itself. Josh and I had a few conversations about what I wanted and much like the rest of our life, communication is the key to success. He started the fade, stopped once he had one side done to ask some questions and get feedback so we were on the same page. Class act this kid. I was highly impressed with Josh and his work. Very organized, communicates well and end result was a 5 star cut. read more

Neli is an amazing barber! He really takes care of you, is fair, and incredibly honest. I hit him up because my coworker had this amazing, clean fade that Neli did and I was like, "Hey man, who does your hair? Hook me up." You will not believe how many people have complimented me on my hair these past two days, it is ridiculous. I've also been called brave which is hilarious. That aside, Neli scheduled me at the end of all his other appointments because he knew going from normal female hair length to shorter than some men's hair was going to be a challenge. Straight off the bat I could tell I was dealing with someone who not only understood customer service, but actually gave a shit about me. He told me about all the research and advice he acquired to make sure I would be happy with my cut. He took his time and my hair looks sick. I don't recommend him to any woman who wants to take the plunge into near baldness (because this was a very long process and cutting female hairstyles is not his forte), but if your hair is already boyish short or you just want to add an undercut/fade definitely go to Neli. He really cares about his craft and about his customers. Honesty and kindness are the only traits I look for when I pay for a service and he treated me with utmost respect from the moment we connected to the moment I stepped out the door. PS: When I told him the haircut that I wanted, he referred me to a friend of his who might be able to get my hair done perfectly. WHO DOES THAT? I've had so many people compete for business that they will chop my hair into a mess before letting someone else do it. But when she declined due to logistical barriers, he agreed to cut my hair and did an amazing job. PRO TIP: So many people tried to walk-in during my haircut. Always make an appointment, these guys are busy. Plan a week in advance so they can fit you in. read more

Pete is my go to here but all of the barbers here give excellent cuts. As usual, it's an appointment culture here, very hard to get a walk in. Pete takes care of me almost all of the time. He's efficient and gives a quality cut. Besides giving a good cut he usually keeps a good conversation, which I believe is an underrated component of getting your haircut. If your going to sit in the chair for at least 30 min you should be having a good time while your there! read more

Dope barbers, all of em ! Never disappointed here! All of the barbers here have at least 5 years of experience and will give you the cleanest cut possibly for a great price read more

if you need a cut, definitely go to fresh cuts in Daly City. I'm real particular about who cuts my hair, every time i come back home to visit (since i go to school in Irvine), I always make it a point to come and get cut here. See, I live in Walnut Creek, but my roots are in Daly City/South City and some of the barbers here are friends. So whenever I go to the city, I usually get cut up by Darwin but I know Julius too, both have been cutting since high school and are always on point with their work. the best part of the cut is the fact that Darwin uses an old school razor to really clean up the lines, so it doesn't grow back in the next 2 days.. lol.. its pretty easy to get an appointment here, just call the day before at the earliest.. the best way to get a hold of them, if they're not pickin up the shop phone is to call their cell phone..which you'd probably have to be friends with them in order to get that lol.. go there, and you wont be disappointed! read more

I met Darwin while we were both waiting to get our cars tinted in San Mateo and had a great conversation with him. Really laid back and easy to talk to. When he told me he was a barber, I told him I would see him the next day he was working. I came in to the shop the following day, waited about 5-10 minutes and got my cut. Darwin is very skillful and definitely knows what he's doing. I don't trust my hair with many other people, but Darwin is definitely an exception. read more

This place was great! Got my haircut done by Omar and he was very knowledgeable. Definitely had a welcoming vibe from him and the shop itself. I literally don't have anything negative to say. It was a great experience! Definitely a happy camper and will be coming back for my next haircut. read more

Neil is the barber that I always go to see over at Fresh Cuts. I met Neli last year when he worked at the Fine Line. I was changing my look from shaggy to trim for my brothers wedding and Neli hit me with one of his righteous tapers that he is known for. My girl always compliments me when I have a new cut from Neli and then I get tons of head rubs! He touches up all the lines with a straight blade so it looks sharp a$$. I really like how professional Neli and the other barbers are over at Fresh Cuts. And the dudes have tons of trophies from Barber competitions to boot. The owner had just won the fastest taper at a big competition. the shop is really clean. The music is always bumping so I would recommend you check them out if your looking for a fresh cut! Also be sure to call and make an appointment for your cut. These barbers are busy most of the day because they have tons of repeat customers. read more

I made an appointment with Omar. When I arrived, he was finishing up a client. When it was my turn, I showed him a picture of the haircut I want. A conservative haircut, short on the sides but leaving enough length on the top to comb back. Think Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, or Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds. I'm a middle aged man and I like looking my age. I asked him, "Can you do this? Short on the sides, just a trim off the top". He shook his head and said,"yeah, yeah. Trim off the top". I sat in the chair and started to talk about sports. I realized that he wasn't talking back because he was texting on his phone while cutting my hair. I kid you not. He even made a call while cutting my hair. Then I realized that I couldn't see the mirror from where I was seated. When he finally finished and showed me the mirror, he chopped off 5 inches off the top, leaving me with only less than 1 inch of hair. The back of my head had something called "a high taper fade". I never heard of such a thing and I definitely didn't ask for it. I just wanted it short, instead I see skin nearly to the top of my skull. I paid and got out of there before I let my anger get the best of me. I would have complained to the shop manager only I don't think there is one. It wasn't until I got home and looked in the mirror that I realized that he nearly gave me the same haircut as the client before me. This only leads me to believe that he can only do one type of haircut. So, I'm going to wear a hat for the next several weeks because I'm stuck with a haircut I hate until it grows out. Now I cannot speak of the other barbers, their reviews look solid. But a lot has to be said about a shop who keeps this guy around judging from the other Yelp reviews (which I should have read before coming). Nothing is worse than a barber who doesn't listen to his clients. read more

This place gets five stars because of... 1. Neli, who takes his time making sure he gives you the cleanest fade. I followed him when he moved over from Fine Line because he cuts just the way you want it. And he's always talking about his training and barber conventions and stuff, so you know he takes it seriously and wants to make your hair perfect. 2. The shop itself. It's big and spacious. It's clean. They got a big tv playing ESPN. Every piece of furniture looks new and kept up and they are comfortable to sit on and lounge if you have to wait a little bit. 3. It's right next to In-N-Out and Krispy Kreme so when you're done getting your fresh cut, you can go chow down on some really good burgers and donuts. read more

Tips: 1.First timers, call ahead and schedule an appointment (they get tons of clients coming in). 2) Communicate - Like one of the other reviews said, they can't read your mind. Show them a photo of what you want, if you'd like. Let someone know if you got an appointment once you walk in. Ask them questions/opinions. I've been going this barbershop since 2013. Marc is my guy (known him for a long time). Got a cut from Frankie when Marc was away and I needed a last minute cut. So I gave the shop a call, Frankie picked up and scheduled me for 3pm the next day. Next day, I walk in. Frankie starts cutting me 3pm sharp. Cuts it the way I wanted. It runs smooth - like clockwork. I look forward to continue going here and getting to know the rest of the barbers. With my experience, I can vouch that these guys can deliver when it comes to quality - check the photos and their instagrams to see their work. In regards to the low rated (and outdated) reviews, these guys have since grown in experience and can only get better from there. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants an up to date ("Fresh") haircut read more

Barber: Omar Service: F Haircut: F Overall Grade: F Customer service: Omar has zero phone etiquette. Grunting words like "huh" "uh" "coo" and "yup" he's not very welcoming in person either. Didn't acknowledge my presence. He looked right at me when I came in but didn't greet me or say anything. He was late on our set appointment by 15 minutes and when I finally made my way to the barber chair I seen his eyes were blood shot red and it all this made sense. While he was cutting my hair he was pre occupied with his phone. Kept taking breaks to check his phone and text without giving me any notice. Haircut: haircut was not up to par. I've had way better haircuts at other shops. He went way too high with my fade and the shear work is below average. He left the top uneven. I was unhappy with the final product. If I'm dropping $30 plus a tip I want my barber to be engaged, and trying to do a good job not high and smelling like weed, Omar seems to be disengaged with his profession. He is more focused on his phone. I work hard for my money and I feel like maybe he should too. Crazy to think this guy was at his job lol. read more

Cool spot if your ages range from 13 thru 23, many of the barbers and their clientels are young and hip! This spot reminds of an Asian version Babershop I got my cut from Julius and he does a great Fade, Tapas, Lines, and Sideburn, made me look like a Rapper! Next time I'll try to make the appointment earlier so the kids will be in school;-) read more

Very precise fade, line up and overall cut. Frankie did a great job on my son's hair and was totally engaging, making our first time a comfortable one. This place is a manly man's shop so best to leave the women at home . Make sure your not in any rush, my son's cut took about an hour but results were well worth the $$ and time spent (cash only). read more

I've been coming here for a couple years now. Everyone that works here is pretty welcoming. They usually play hip-hop music and there's a TV for you to watch while getting a cut. I only get my cuts from Marc. He's a really good barber and he's super chill. I only trust him with my hair. But everyone who works here give really clean cuts. You won't be disappointed when getting a cut by anyone here. read more

Today was the third time I've gotten my hair cut by Neli and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I leave looking so clean and sharp every time, and he knows his stuff. Neli has also done so much in his life that he has the funniest stories to tell and great life advice. Looking forward to coming by again. read more

I have been going here for just over a year now. Have found few shops and people that can not just cut my hair but my two sons. I look for convenience but quality and Fresh Cuts And Omar are that for me! He is able to get me in most the times I need and gives 3 of us quality cuts! read more

I'm new to the area and needed a haircut for the past month. Walking in I wasn't sure if I needed an appointment or not but Julian was able to provide service for me.

I enjoy the new look and the talk we had. read more

5 star for omar of fresh cuts... salute and respect for you bruhdaah!

It's a shame that Yelp does not let you give no stars because this is exactly what this place deserves. First off don't go in there with your last haircut looking like it's more than two weeks old.. They will look at you as if you are an alien. These dudes are full of attitude and really feeling themselves and they are mediocre at best... I have lived all over the world and have seen better talent in 3rd world countries and Europe.. Why are folks giving them 5 stars?? Try getting a haircut outside of the Bay Area sometime and you folks will see what i mean. Got my haircut once by this clown called Norbert (Norb) and he did not look too happy to be cutting my hair (two weeks hair growth) was too much work for the $40 man I guess ... lol He handled me like his daddy had told him I was dating his mom or something... I Left their with whiplash.... Heavy handed indeed I am sure that he could have qualified for the U.S. Weightlifting Olympic team Oh... Don't try making another appointment with him or another barber once the "haircut " is done as they will only tell you to call on Tuesday... Huh???? But I am already here. Like other reviewers have said they never answer the phone. Overall impression.. They are the best of the worst.. Well at least better than Philgood butcher's... oops.... I meant barbers, and trust me that is not a ringing endorsement... It's like having to choose between Donald Trump and Sarah Palin for president read more

5 Stars because of the amazing service provided by the one and only Neli! Neli is by far the best of the best. Not only at perfecting every cut, but at making sure his customers always leave satisfied, and most importantly, looking fresh. He genuinely cares about his clients, and he makes sure to show it every time you step into the door. The effort and care he puts into not only his cuts, but getting to know his clients is what will keep me returning to Fresh Cuts. His skills are top notch! read more

Unless you have an appointment, don't bother coming in. These guys are booked throughout the week. The atmosphere is that of a brotherhood, everyone is super chill. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a detailed cut, by barbers that care about their profession. Still one of the only 2 shops I would go to in SF. 4 stars because of the of barbers flaked on me even though we made an appointment via text. Ended up getting cut by one of the other barbers. read more

This place is amazing! I've been coming here since they've opened. My personal barber is Norbert. But every single barber in here is real good and has bars. No questions asked. Everyone in the shop is friendly and real professional. I get a haircut weekly just to keep everything clean. Prices are worth it and not overpriced. Very reasonable for the work being done. They can do it all. From fades, tapers, fauxhawks, designs. They cater to little kids to even seniors. Check this place out! Shoutout To Everyone At Freshcuts DC! read more

I've been to this dude since the days he was just cutting in the garage and man can't ever say I wasn't satisfied with his cuts. George delivers top service with his ability of figuring what you like in an instant. All cuts I've gotten from this man have been top quality and sometimes a little to unreal how blurry his fades and tapers are. If you ever need a barber book with the man on the Booksy under Georgecutit, you will not be disappointed. read more
