*CASH ONLY! Haircuts start from $12.00+ they do haircuts for men and women* My dad and brothers have been going here for years. Their cuts always come out great. The service is always fast and friendly even when they are at their busiest! If you're here waiting for someone to get their haircut, there's a few shops and stores to pass time; there's a nail salon, massage spa next door. Multiple places to get a snack or something; Golden House (restaurant & also does take out), Tapioca Express, KFC, McDonald's, Little Cesar's and more. read more

Walked in and barber was on her cell phone. She looked at me and said "you need a haircut?" I said yes but asked if my hat line would affect the cut. She looked at me, said something then stood there on her phone. I told her I would wait til she was done with her call. She just continue to stand there on the phone, then hung up and dialed another number and just stood there. No wonder the shop has a 2.5 rating. I give it zero if I could. read more

I've been a customer of Gabby's for over 20 years. This goes back to when the previous owners (and family) ran this business. Now, only 1 remains from the original staff (Conchita). If you come here and sit with her, expect a thorough and quality haircut. Anyone else cutting your hair you can expect to be done in 10 minutes! Quality is not be the same when your stylist is rushing to get to the next customer waiting. Please note, this is a "CASH ONLY," with an available ATM within the shop. read more

Gabby's Barber Shop - Lobby - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

Good service, friendly staff, great place. My son (11 year old) and I get our hair cut here all the time. He is not the balding one so I definitely get value for money for his cuts. read more

I have been go to thus barbershop the past 10 years usually get great cuts, but today wasted an hour and a half of my time for my hair to get cut then to be told that there are two people ahead of me waiting for their appointment from the previous day, And proceeded not to tell me that she had appointments. Wasted my time and all they can say we're sorry. I do not recommend this place. They're just gonna waste your time. read more

My son wanted a special haircut and walked out with a "Mushroom" cut. I had to go to another shop to have it fixed. read more

If I could give a 0 star I would. We got denied for service because we gave "too much instruction" the management of this business is horrible. And by what I am reading from the other reviews it seems like the manager and their employees treat the customers like I don't understand how you can turn away customer because they expressed their wants. Horrible management and horrible customer service stay away read more

It was bad I have a long middle cut he cut everything and I told him cut it a bit on the top and he ruined it he cut it all and it took months to grow I hate it..and when I called him out for it he said don't worry it'll come out good which it didn't read more

I've been here three times in the past few months. Very friendly staff and no complaints about my haircut. My head is like a chia pet, so I need a lot of haircuts. Eva does a great job and i will be back. read more

This lady hooked me up with a fresh fade I don't get the people hating you just mad you have a yee yee ass haircut.

Barbers don't listen when spoken to. Went in wanting just a little a trim, even showed them a picture and they almost completely shaved my hair off. read more

If your looking for a salon that will pamper you and try to sell you a bunch of hair products you dont need then walk out now. If your looking for a good hair cut at a very descent price then your at the right place. I have lived in SD for 5 years and this is the only place I go to get a hair cut. The majority of customers are Mexican and some of the girls dont speak english but they do have translators if you need them. The barbers in here really do a good job and I have never had a complaint for any of them. read more

It's relatively quick, cheap, and convenient. Of the handful of times I've been there they have yet to disappoint. Rosie, one of the regular barbers/stylist, does a great job and is very friendly. Sometimes there is a wait, but it isn't too bad. My final advice: give it a try. read more

Been going here for a few years. Either ask for Ramon or Ruth! Great barbers. Quick service and nice staff in general.

Save your money and go elsewhere. The manager is incompetent and charged my card twice. She did not refund my money even after explaining to her that they swiped my card twice. The barbers here are unprofessional. I don't even think that they have a cosmetology license, you might as well ask your friend to cut your hair honestly. The price is misleading at the front, it says $11 for a regular haircut. A "regular" cut to them is a buzz cut. read more

Not my usual barber, but I needed a cut and had a little time before work. I explained generally what I wanted and how I style my hair. My hair is usually short, so it isn't complicated. The cut I got was good enough. I used to be in the military, so I've come to accept when I get a " good enough" cut. Definitely not as good or clean as my usual barber, but it wasn't terrible. The barber cut my hair kind of how I explained. She didn't mess it up, but didn't meet my expectations either. The service was quick, I was in a chair immediately. Overall not the best, but not the worst....for a simple cut. read more

I took 3 year old to get haircut and got a excellent service from a lovely woman called Julie, the little fella got taken care of with a lollypop, a balloon, a lucky bag with toys and was made feel very relaxed throughout his haircut by Julie who also gave me a very nice haircut while managing to entertain the kid at the same time. read more

I used to cut my hair at this location but suddenly stopped coming because I can't stand listening to their gossip and complains while they're giving me a haircut read more

the worst haircut i have ever had. despite me saying i want to keep it long they just kept cutting it shorter and shorter. it's so bad ive decided to just shave my head. read more

I've been going to this barber shop for over 10 years now. I really like the way they treat me here. And even got my daughters 1st hair cut too. I only go about nice a month. They cut my hair short just how i like it and let it grow out. I don't think I have ever got a bad hair cut here. I will always come back to this place to get my hair cut!! Love this place!!! read more

I came here a couple of weeks ago for my boyfriend to get a haircut and I ended up getting one as well. It was our first time. All the employees spoke Spanish and about half spoke English also. The thing is, I never intended to get a haircut there but I definitely knew I needed one and one lady pointed it out. They were very friendly and helpful but at one point I was surrounded by like three different employees discussing my hair. I was questioned about my hair care and history with my hair and what I could do to make it healthier. They recommended products and treatments that they offer. For some that might be annoying, but my hair definitely needed some help so I wasn't too bothered. I was given a trim to get rid of the damaged ends of my hair and my hair ended up fairly short. I'm not sure if it was styled that way or needed to be that way considering the reality of the damage. After about five remarks on the dryness of my hair and probably half a bottle of product to detangle the mess on my head, I was left fairly satisfied. My hair was soft and felt very light. It was noticeably healthier at least where my ends were concerned. She did a great job getting rid of all the split ends. My boyfriend, who's always had trouble finding a good hairstyle for himself, was pretty satisfied also. He received great service there, probably a solid four and a half stars. For myself, I'm probably at a three and a half simply because it felt awkward to be put on the spot about how terrible my hair was. And also I feel that from the places I've been before, here the consideration for little things like not spraying water directly into my face probably took some points off for me. But in the end, the results reflect a good review! Far better than going to a Supercuts for sure. I don't know the names of the employees, but my hair was done by whoever is in the front left chair and my boyfriends was done by the far back left chair. Hopefully that makes sense. read more

I have been there before without any problems. But I went today to get a haircut and was turned away because I have eczema on the back of my head. Was trying to get a fade, she saw that I had that and was like no haircut. Go somewhere else. Made me feel bad, like I been discriminated against. Its just dry skin and is not at all contagious. She offered me no explanation. read more

These barbers do NOT listen to what the customer has requested. My husband and son went in for just a short trim and the lady just took it on her own and damn near shaved off both their heads. I'm so disappointed to see all of my baby boy's curly hair gone and for my husband to be bald when he just wanted a short trim. We will NEVER go back to this place. read more

This is a kid friendly barber shop, Conchita styles my son's hair and she is really patient with him and they even have conversations :-) It can get busy, so you may end up waiting, but we usually grab something to eat next door while we wait. Ibwish i could make an appointment or be on a waiting list as this would allow mw to come back every four weeks to get my boys haircut done. read more

The barber did not have any attention to detail. I had to advise her to correct several mistakes. Customer service was very poor. They do not use a razor to clean up the lines. They use an electric shaver which is not very affective and leaves you very red. read more

I agree with a lot of these comments. You have to choose wisely! I went in for a "trim" and the lady shaved the side of my head (larger mexican lady back left chair). Rosie is the ONLY one I will let cut my hair. She usually has a line of people but she is the best. read more

Today was my second time coming to this barbershop. In April of 2016 I went, and had the best service. I went today 9-29-16, and had the worst customer service. My son gets the same haircut since I can remember, and any place I've gone it's always been $12.00. I called Gabby's and they told me $11.00, and on the sign it says $11.00. I was charged more because I asked for a half 1/2 number for his haircut. I didn't mind, but they need to change there sign prices. I'll never be back here again. read more

I'm writing a 5-star review today (updated to 4, see edit at bottom) because it encompasses several visits to this barber shop. They are usually busy with a steady stream of customers, yet have enough stylists that there is typically no wait or it is minimal. This speaks to their popularity and effectiveness. I've been here many times, and today I brought my son. I was pleased with the haircut, though afterward I provided feedback that they didn't exactly follow the directions (didn't fade, and razor'd too short on the side). I'm 99% happy when I walk out. However, today, I was ecstatic in spite of the small error. They gave us the haircut for free, saying that they wanted us happy. I paid anyway, and this kind gesture reinforced my trust. Call it customer service, or kindness for a community neighbor. Either way, I'm very happy. For context, I usually go in and ask for an inch off the top, and a razor on the side fading from #2-4. Not hard, but they always leave clean and consistent lines and lengths. And they always care to ensure the sideburns and back lines are as expected. I've received haircuts from most of the women there, so this is consistent from all of their staff. I can see most other reviews varying from 3-5, though they all are satisfied as well. And only 1 negative review, which I trust is an anomaly. The value here is great, with low, competitive prices. Thanks, Gabby's! Edit: I still routinely come here, but I have downgraded from a 5 to a 4 star. The original review may not have posted until a year and a half or so from my writing, due to being unverified (oops). Recently, in late Spring 2017, I got a stylist that didn't follow instructions again, and just simply cut my front hair straight across, close to my hairline. A true "Dumb and Dumber" haircut (like the movie characters). I asked her to fix it, and she started trimming everything shorter, and returned to the front to cut it more -- and I had to stop her. She missed the point ... that would make it more "Dumber." I had to lean to another stylist and ask her to fix it. I had a near buzz cut, but she fixed it and made it proportional at least. And hair grows back. read more

This is terrible hair cut experience for my 11 years old son. Bad hair cut and line, not professional at all. Hair all over the place , nobody swept those hairs after. Will never go there again. read more

Worst haircuts fuckin ever. Do not come here. Place sucks ass. Completely fucked it up. Can I even get a refund? First time I ever wanted one for a haircut. read more

Got a haircut for $17 and got double charged. Spoke to the manager to correct it and she got an instant attitude because I was the 4th person to come in with a double charge that week. She refused to refund the second charge. I showed my bank statement for proof and she looked at me and said "so what am I supposed to do." Then started to lecture me on how it could be my fault when they are the ones who swipe your card for you. Would not recommend. read more

I hate to do this but I am giving it a 1 start. I used to come here twice a month when the old crew were there. But when things happened everything changed. I went couple weeks ago for a trim on my beard and sat there for 15 min. Hardly any people. A guy sits down and with a blink of an eye he gets passed, and that did it for me. I got up and walked away. Super rookie barbers working here, not what it used to be before. read more
