Evan was great very nice haircut. Would definitely go to again if I lived in Oceanside

This place snapped when it came to my beard, I don't trust many matter of fact I don't trust anyone when it comes to my beard! But today I risked it for the biscuit and made an appointment with Phill who did not disappoint! He listened to what I wanted and all I simply said was trim the sides and give me a clean u-shaped beard that's decent in length and clean! He definitely did his thang!!! Definitely making phill my beard barber now!

This place is the best. I've been taking my son and I to get our haircuts here for a while and the people are so awesome. You're in great hands with mark, ricky, Phil etc. Phil is our guy at the moment. Check out our fresh cuts!

I have been going here for sometime now which started on an accidental cancellation from my previous barber. Long story short, my previous barber became a flake, and cancellations became part of the routine. So upon one of those cancellations, I looked around, and it just so happened that the gentleman's den had a open slot. I can't really speak to the other barbers only from mine and Daniel is his name. He has gotten me cleaned up on multiple occasions, coming out with probably the best fade in North County. I've gone to them multiple times, and I've always scheduled every three weeks sense. Also, I have taken my son there to get a nontraditional mullet and again Daniel killed it. So yes I do recommend the gentleman's den, and would have to assume the other guys can cut hair just as well, but still recommend Daniel if you're scheduling.

I'd actually like to change my review sure at the time I was pretty upset because I wanted my hair to be that of the reference rather than grow into it and since it has now kinda grown into it. She has done an amazing job and I would definitely recommend her to more friends. Just maybe next time more clarity on what the vision is. Overall 9/10

Daniel cut my hair and he cut it exactly how I wanted it. I asked for a fade with a 4 on top and he did a perfect job. I'm not from here, I'm just on vacation. So I found this barbershop online the day of my appointment and I chose the only booking available. And Daniel cut my hair at my exact appointment time. Which is very professional too me. He recommended places to visit while I'm here which is nice of him. We had ongoing conversations during my whole appointment. Overall my experience was Great. I would recommend Daniel to anyone, he does great fades and he also can do any cut.

My 10-year-old went from long hair to a super cool textured French cut and it came out amazing. Daniel really listened to what my son wanted and made him feel confident with such a big change. The cut is clean, stylish, and exactly the vibe he wanted. The shop itself is also such a vibe. Highly recommend Daniel, especially if you're looking for someone who actually gets boys' hair and makes them feel good in the chair. We'll definitely be back read more

I have gone to a few barbers at this barber shop and they're all great. Most recently I have been going to Daniel. He is a really skilled barber. He has taken the time to get to know my hair and what I prefer in terms of the cut -- tamed my cowlick --my hair and beard have never looked better. read more

Went in for a much needed beard job, and got a cut, too. The service was excellent and Ricky did a great job! I'm pleased! My only negative was parking. I'm disabled, and parked in the nice disabled spot in the rear parking lot. Unfortunately, there is no direct entrance from there to the shop. If this issue can be resolved, I'll be a regular! read more

I took my sons here to get their long hair cut short. They hadn't had a hair cut in over 5 years and was nervous about how their hair would look. Daniel was a great listener and cut their hair exactly like they wanted. They were both so happy and relieved. We've gone back to have Daniel trim their hair and he does an amazing job every time! We highly recommended him. read more

This has been my go-to barbershop for years. I go in every 2-3 weeks to get my hair and beard trimmed up. Both the owner Mark, and my current barber Daniel, always deliver the results I'm looking for. I'm kind of a perfectionist, and have somewhat difficult hair that naturally wants to stick straight out, and I have a pretty significant cow lick in the back. Daniel always takes his time to meticulously give me what I want. There may be cheaper shops, but I haven't found a better one. read more

Dave did a great job cutting my 3 y/o's hair. My son was apprehensive and a little wiggly, but Dave was patient and reassuring and managed to get a nice clean, straight cut with an excellent fade. Their online appt system made it easy to schedule an appt for a day and time that worked for us, and it even lets you select your barber at that time too. My husband had a great beard trim here a few weeks ago, but I didn't catch that barber's name, unfortunately. It seems like you can't go wrong with any of them though. Great experiences both times and we will definitely be back. read more

It's been awhile but we've been back a couple of times since my original review*. It seems like the barber who I wrote the low review for is no longer there. We had great experiences with Bri in the past (she has since moved!) and have had great cuts now by Daniel. You can easily see that Daniel takes pride in his work and wants to make sure you are leaving happy with your cut. My husband now requests cuts specifically by Daniel. We will continue coming back here *I would also like to add that the manager/owner did reach out to me after posting my low review. We just weren't able to make it back in. We were offered a complimentary haircut. read more

Word of advice to all would be goers looking for a beard trim: if your barber can't grow a beard don't trust him with yours! I received a straight razor shave that left me with stubble. I had my beard trimmed that left me with an uneven and thin right corner. And when I left, I realized that most of my trimmings came home with me. All this with a $65 price tag ?

Been a customer of David Garcia for over 10 years, This barber shop is hands down authentic, and true to the profession. They recently moved and have a new space a few doors down from their original location. You are always shown your cut (front, back, sides, etc...) to ensure it is to your absolute liking. Never the upsell on product or services, as casual as it can be while staying profesional. If you want the real deal, look no further! read more

She shortened the front of my hair too much so the front was shorter than the rest. Unfortunately this did not work out for me. Luckily today I found a hair lady that cut my hair very well and fixed the issues with the uneven blending and uneven hair altogether. I spent $70 on a cut that was not very good at all. After 2 weeks my hair looked even worse. Usually if it is a good cut, about this time it shows it's a good cut. Oh well. It is what it is. PS do not contact me over this - I did not like the cut, it was uneven and not done well. thx! - Response Also I did not micromanage anything, she asked questions, I answered them. No contradictions to anything, this is a fabrication. Not sure what I could contradict? I asked for this and that and let her cut away. We talked, we didn't talk, typical haircut stuff folks. I just felt it was not a good one that is all. I even texted her asking her to fix it. Her response was "Yes I can fix it if there's some sort of mistake. Can you tell me what's wrong?" I told her, "Blending on one side is not great and longer. It's Ok for now. I will live with it until next cut." Never heard back. Not a sorry, not a hey come in anyway, I will fix it. Nada! I opted to leave it alone and move on. I guess she only wants 5 stars every time. Unfortunately I can say without a doubt this cut was not great, my wife even commented it was not. One side was not blended well at all, there was a clear line down the side of my head, front was cut too short compared to the rest. What can I say other than I was not happy with it. That has nothing to do with me allegedly micromanaging her, she was quite assertive in what she thought I should do with my hair. She thought I should push my hair forward which is not how I wear it. She cut it. All I asked for was an even cut, simple level 3 clipping on sides and back blending up nicely. That's it. Nothing else was involved. Dani's response is not accurate at all and is more of a response for passing blame which is much easier.

No waiting, no screaming (Encinitas...) and yes it's a bit more but I learned a valuable lesson that my time is worth more than hoping I get a chair for less. End of story. Happy haircut, happy life!

Just had my cut with Kris at South Carlsbad Barber and she's incredible. She gave me a sharp,…read moreprofessional cut that already looks like it's going to hold its shape well beyond the usual two-week slump. She's also extremely nice, easy to talk to, and makes the whole experience comfortable. If you want a quality cut that lasts and someone who really knows what they're doing, Kris is the one to see.

My haircut was nothing special and will of course vary depending on which stylist you get. But I didn't get many questions about what I wanted nor was I shown how the back looked with a mirror at the end. I felt like the gentleman was just doing his own thing and indeed as it turned out I didn't even get the cut I wanted. The abbreviated hot towel experience consisted of the towel getting placed on my hair - isn't it supposed to go on your face? The stylist's counters are also kind of messy and dirty - a bad look. I was expecting a much better experience for the price and was disappointed.

Hammer & Nails - Laguna Niguel

This review is not for the haircut (I go to Alicia and she always does a great job) but for the…read morebooking process. I made an appointment a 6:00 PM appointment for yesterday, to see Alicia before she leaves on a trip. I went through the website, chose my time, selected my stylist, doubled checked everything, and hit confirm/send/whatever button finalizes the transaction. An email confirming this arrived soon after. I put it in my calendar. All done, right? Apparently not. After driving 30 min to get here I was informed I did not have an appointment. I explained exactly what I did and was then gobsmacked to hear that after I book an appointment online the email I got has a code in it that I then need to enter online in order to REALLY confirm the time slot. Then, after that's done you apparently get 2 more confirmations before your appointment. You'd think this is scheduling surgery or something. This has got to be the most inane, idiotic approach to scheduling I have ever seen. Everywhere else on the planet, when you hit CONFIRM, that's that. You're in. Why am I, the customer, who made an appointment, being asked to do so much work just to keep it? But what if I don't show up, you're asking? H&N has my CC on file, so if the policy is you get charged if you don't show up, and I've acknowledged that somewhere on their site or by simply booking the appt, then that's on ME. Luckily, Alicia was able to get me in after first agreeing the stay late, but then her last appt canceled so I got in sooner. But if I had driven all that way just to be told my appt I definitely booked wasn't going to happen for a WEEK... this review would've had a harsher tone. I'm not jumping through a series of hoops to keep an appt I made and if that's going to be the policy here in perpetuity then I'll spend my money elsewhere.

I've been a member here since February 2023 [and with H&N since 2022] and was locked in at $80/mo…read moreand told I was "grandfathered in". That's why I stayed with them even when other locations had lower rates or the same rate. It had worked for me... until this week. I checked my bank statement yesterday and saw a $96 charge. That's a 20% hike with zero warning - no email, no text, & nothing in the app. I searched every folder in my archived inbox (I keep everything) and found nothing from this location. When I texted the shop, they said "We emailed you in May." If they did, it never got to me. I haven't even been able to get a service here since Dec 16th 2024 because appointments are impossible to find due to my schedule. I've been driving to other H&N locations just to use the membership I'm paying for. The good: - Most barbers are pretty solid, though results can be hit-or-miss with a couple - The owner's wife does fantastic job with facial waxing - The owner himself seemed friendly (on the couple of times I've met him) The bad: - Surprise price hike for longtime members. - No verifiable notice or prior explanation. - Limited appointment availability at my "home" location. I asked them to cancel my membership on the spot - paying nearly a hundred bucks a month for something I can rarely book there (and with no heads-up on price changes) isn't worth it. Other H&N locations that I go to have membership fees (for new members of $80-$88 a month like at Valencia or Echo Park. It's too bad they couldn't have done these price hikes with more finesse and not just hiking me up to new-members rate

The salon itself has several touches that make it feel truly top-notch--welcoming, well thought out, and clearly run with care. I grew up around the industry and can easily identify someone with real talent and experience since my mom was a cosmetologist and owned a shop with multiple stylists, Before Casey even picked up the scissors, she took the time to ask what I liked about my hair, what I didn't like, and even what aspect of it I was proud of. That level of thought and intention really stood out. The haircut itself was excellent, but in addition, Casey makes the experience fun, and shows she really sincerely cares.

"I didn't know what my hair was capable of until Daniel got his hands on it." A year ago I sat in his chair not really knowing what I wanted, just knowing what I'd always settled for. What he created was something I genuinely never thought I'd be wearing -- a cut that works with my hair type instead of fighting it, tailored to my face, my lifestyle, and honestly my whole vibe. Daniel doesn't just cut hair. He listens, he studies your texture and your structure, and he executes with the kind of precision and confidence that only comes from someone who truly has mastered their craft. Every visit since has been consistent, clean, and better than the last. You sit in that chair and you leave feeling like a different man. And it's not just Daniel -- this place runs on appointment only, and every time I go to book, the other barbers are just as locked up. When an entire shop is consistently booked out, that's not luck. That's a reputation built on results. The shop itself is something else -- American flags, vintage décor, taxidermy on the walls, that old-school barbershop energy that you just don't find everywhere. It feels like a place that actually respects the craft. You walk in and you know immediately this isn't your average strip-mall haircut spot. If you haven't found your barber yet -- this is it. Ask for Daniel. Trust the process. You won't recognize yourself in the mirror, and you'll mean that in the best possible way. read more

I live locally and had been going to a place in Carlsbad the last few years. Decided to support local Oside business and could not be happier. Walked in for 12:00 appointment, ZERO wait time as they were on schedule. Phil was the first to say Hello & happened to be who I was scheduled with. The guy CRUSHED IT!! Great haircut, with a few checks along the way to make sure I was happy with style/length etc... Great conversation while dialing me in for the New Year!! Will be back and requesting him no doubt! Side note, cool taxidermy on the wall & nice patio area outside if you have to wait or want to chill after. Stop looking for other spots/reviews and just book your appointment. read more

This place is awesome, the moment I walked in I felt calm and relaxed. The cut was perfect, exactly the way I wanted (I'm a new customer). I also opted for the beard trim and it was the same and educational (given instructions and help maintaining my beard as I grow It out. This place really does give you the vibe your going over to a best friends house to watch the game. You do have to schedule an appointment because as far as I've always seen them back to back on appointments but the room has never been full (you could attribute this to spot on management). Very pleased overall. Need to get my next appointment set up. Thanks guys read more

I have not been to a barbershop in more than 35 years. My son referred me to Gentlemans Den. Great atmosphere, great service, great cut and beard trim. Jonas met my request and expectations probably knowing I was sitting there ready to s*** my pants having not been cleaned up for decades. My daughter who has never seen her father so clean cut gave the ultimate approval. Thanks Jonas! read more
