Today, I was on my long lunch hour, finished my lunch but needed a haircut and I didn't want to wait until after work I searched up on yelp and see this shop has a lot of good reviews and also close to my work. I gave it a try. The shop looked very nice and clean, the barbers are all ladies. They are very friendly and know what they're doing. I will definitely come back here for my next cut. Good price too, and they gave me a frequent flyer reward card. read more

I used to go here all the time because Mya was really good. Yesterday I went and got Angie. I asked her to leave half an inch on the sides and back and leave a little longer on the top. When she was done, I asked for it to be shorter, because she had only taken half an inch OFF the sides and back. She argued with me, saying that's not what I asked for, and if I wanted shorter, she would have to start all over. I said, okay, start all over. So then she BUZZCUT MY ENTIRE HEAD, which is NOT what I asked for. It's not even a good buzzcut, it's uneven. If I wanted a buzzcut, I'd do it myself at home. I feel like shaving someone's head without their consent constituents some kind of assault. I will not be going back here, ever. read more

Been coming here for over 12 years.. always convenient and they always take care of me! I can't remember the ladies name who cuts my hair, but she has a little tattoo on the side of her neck! She's amazing! read more

Candice did a great job on my boys faded comb over. Everyone here is really friendly and courteous and skillful. Reasonably priced compared to some of the chain barber shops like Great Clips where don't even know how to do a simple fade. Been bringing my boys here for over 2 years and I've never been disappointed. So don't waste your time with Great Clips. Call for Candice make an appointment she's great. read more

Took my 2 year old son here for his FIRST haircut. The lady asked what I wanted and I told her a medium fade. She pointed to where and I said yes, then the lady next to her started to cut his hair. Before she started to cut we had asked if we can keep some curls. She cut my sons hair but the fade was super low, I said are you going to cut more? She said why didn't I tell her? I said we agreed where to cut? The lady cutting the hair was much older than the lady communicating with me so the lady talking to me wasn't even the one cutting the hair. My husband asked can I still keep some of the curls? And the lady said get it off the floor and she kicked some hair on the floor! So rude. Before leaving we asked what do we call this haircut? And she said medium fade . Horrible read more

Worst haircut I ever had I asked them if they did flattops they said yes. They had no clue what they were doing. I would have been better off to put a bowl on head and cut it myself. I wouldn't let this place trim my dog read more

I've been a customer since 2013 after moving to Fremont in October 2012. The factors that have kept me as a customer are quality, consistency, and value. I've had my hair cut by Lina, Candice, and others throughout the years. The shop is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. I'd highly recommend getting your hair cut at George's Barber Shop! -Peter read more

The lady was rude. Didn't listen to me at all. I waited for a month to get a haircut to have that specific length of hair. She messed it up completely. I have never felt this much bad and frustrating walking out of a barbershop. Even after her colleague tried to fix it, it's a shit show. I'll have to wait another 2 months to get my hair fixed again because she messed up my hair that bad. read more

Tommy and his crew super nice Proffesional Friendly Smiley people I come here every week See tommy for line up or raiser cur read more

I booked an appointment before going. Easy to book through phone. They followed all SOPs before my turn. Neat and clean and got my haircut in timely manner as well. Very respectful ladies and haircut was perfect too. For the price, this was great haircut. Will surely be going there moving forward. read more

Located in the neighborhood of Old Newark, I love coming to Georges because it provides an alright cut for a great price. This isn't a place for you to get a super fresh haircut, but it'll definitely do the job for 9 bucks. read more

Great local barbershop! I've tried most of the barbers (Lena, George, Candice, and Van), and they're all really nice and give even better fades. Price is only $11, which is amazing given the quality haircuts they provide. I've been coming here for years, and will continue to be loyal to here even though I live in the peninsula now. The other barbershop next door can try and poach customers with lower prices, but you can't buy loyalty for good people, a friendly smile, and a quality haircut. Keep up the great work Lena! read more

I needed to get a haircut and a beard trim for an affordable price and last minute and this place was perfect! There was hardly a wait, they had friendly staff and I looked very sharp by the end of it. It cost me under $20 and I usually pay more because of my beard trim. read more

George's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Newark, California

Not the worst, far from good. Nice people, clean shop, but you get what you pay for at $15. Many uneven spots that I had to fix once at home. My cut was with the older/senior aged woman, perhaps try the younger woman or man. read more

I recently moved into the area and was looking for a good barber for a comb-over haircut. After looking at all the good reviews, I decided to give it a try. I told the lady that had cut my hair that I wanted a trim on top, taper on the back, and 0.5 fade on the sides. After a while when she was cutting my hair, I noticed very long chunks of hair being cut and I asked how much she was cutting off of a TRIM. She said she was blending the back portion of the top and cut almost 1.5 inches off! I have been growing out the top of my hair for a long time and she did not follow anything I asked. The sides look like a 1 size fade and the back could barely be considered a taper. Never coming back again. read more

I have to say they did a great job! They were the only shop open on a Monday (my day off) and I just walked in. A woman cut my hair and trimmed my beard for less than $20. Everyone said I look good so I'm happy with it. I did have little bitsy hairs itching me all day and I kinda wish she brushed more of them off me. read more

I used to go to George's all the time because I lived down the street. Now I live in Hayward so I stop by every once in a while. Great shop overall, everyone has a good attitude and there's always some game on TV. The entire staff cuts well but I usually get a fade from Toni. Fridays and Saturdays are usually pretty busy (but what shop isn't?), well worth the wait though. read more

From the 5/19/13 reviewer, I can't speak on Lina's management skills since I never worked under her, but I wouldn't gather she's money hungry or dishonest since she dropped the price of the haircuts to 9$(probably to bring in more customers), and she has always said what she does. But the bottom line, I'm sure she wants to make money, and any business owner who doesn't want to make more money is a "fool." And Lina ain't no fool...Still a better quality hair cut than next door from my experience. read more

First time customer. I just moved into town and followed the reviews to George's. My hair was cut by Lina and she did a great job and did it very quickly! I'm a fan and I will be a long time customer. If you have tried this place, you owe it to yourself to give it a try and see for yourself. Excellent customer service. Martin read more

Just brought a smile to my face right now. Sooo back then I used to go here and these guys were always nice to me. Trimmed/cut my hair just the way I'd want them to. But since now I am bald (by choice) - I don't go here, but my dad does. And he loves Georges Barber Shop. Its really close to my house and really easy to get to. Their prices aren't that bad either, its around $10-$12; depending what you want to get done. Parking is across the street. Not all that bad. Just a chill place to get your haircut and a conversation or two. read more

So I've been here 3 times to get my haircut as of this posting, and all those times, my hair came out exactly the way I wanted it! For the price, I think I'll be coming here every chance I get. I don't like to do fancy things to my hair; rather, I just need it short, presentable, and with a little on top so that I can comb over to the side. Linh knows exactly what I mean, even though I'm still not well-versed in what numbers to use. Even in the spots of my head where my hair grows funny, she knows exactly what to do to make it look neat. I also appreciate the TVs that are tuned to sporting events every time I'm in there. This place is worth it. read more

Legitimately the worst haircut I've ever received. I asked for a bald fade with one inch off the top. The fade was uneven, but the worst part was the top. She took off way more than one inch, and on top of that she didn't even use a comb to help her measure. She literally wacked away, leaving an uneven mess, causing me to have to go to Rick's barbershop to salvage what was left of my hair. Sure it's 9 bucks, but when you count the cost of getting their work fixed? Not worth it at all. read more

I had the most terrible experience here with Lina- who I believe is the manager or owner. She did a terrible job cutting my 7 year old son hair. She cut the line way to high and used a O when I told her I wanted a 1 high top fade. The only reason for the 1 star was because Candice did a great job on my other sons hair and the male barber did an ok job on my other sons. When it was time to pay Lina told me $33 for all three haircuts! We did not get any design and nothing fancy! So I questioned her and she said it was because she cut it with a 0! Then she continues and tells me that she will also charge $1 per haircut for using a card! I asked where the sign was that said that and she said, "All my customers know this!" I hardly EVER give poor reviews but this was terrible- not only did the owner of the salon do a terrible job- she has a phantom $1 extra charge for using a card! Nevertheless, I got out of there for $25. I am also normally a big tipper but this was terrible! See for yourself from the pictures! read more

George's Barber Shop - Terrible!!!! - Barbers Near Me - Newark, California

Horrible, came in for a haircut and the lady totally screwed it up. 6 min haircut. Asked her to fade she didn't fade, no idea. She just wanted her money and on to the next customer. Horrible, I can't say it enough. Really pisses me off considering how many years I've been coming year. read more

Absolutely love this place. Have places closer to where I love but I make the drive to here every time. All their ladies and gents are amazing. Personally, I go with Candice every time possible and highly recommended her as well when you can. Thank you so much and until next time. 5 STARS! read more

I've been going to this barbershop since I was in middle school and I am 21 now so that says a lot. This group of barbers are very hard working and dedicated to satisfying the customers style. Candice is my go to but this group of barbers are very talented and anyone of them are great. read more

Candice cut my hair and did a fantastic job. It's even, clean, and looks better than it usually does. I will definitely be coming back.

Never had a bad experience here. Staff always super friendly and do not take it personally when you reject for another person to cut you. High quality cuts for a great price. Definitely recommend coming here for a last minute cut or even becoming a regular. Open weekends. read more

Terrible job rude and expensive for the kind of service you get. The woman who did the haircut was rude and did a terrible job cutting my hair. They charge a dollar extra for using a credit card( is this Stone Age?) and there was no mention of it anywhere.you would rather go next door which seemed busy on a Sunday mid morning. read more

I found George's Barber Shop online and read the Yelp reviews. It sold me and I went to get a cut there. It was newly remodeled with a flat screen TV. Great people working there and Lin cut my hair. I like my cut and the feet invited during my visit. The price is inexpensive and the haircut was great. I'd recommend this shop to others. :-) read more

9 Dollar hair cuts. Get the Asian lady on the far right. I have been going here for years and still don't know her name. Yeah I know I suck.

No other barbershop I would go to. I've been going to this barbershop for nearly 9 years. I've specifically had Holly cut my hair for the past 4-5 years. I'm a very picky guy who loves his haircuts. I have a different hairstyle every year and Holly seems to amaze me (as if she reads my mind and knows exactly how I want my hair). Great Shop ! i'm 22 years old and going to this barbershop is the longest commitment I've ever made...that shows a lot ! 5 stars !!! read more

It was just horrible, I told the barber how I like my hair. He cute my hair totally wrong then in mid cut he asked if that's how I wanted my hair. So the whole time cutting my hair he was going of a hunch. I would not be coming here again or recommend them to anyone read more

Different people might have different opinions. Some may bad if they were not satisfied and some may be satisfied. However, for me, Ms. Lina gave me a nice haircut and they did an exceptional job. George's Barber deserved this review! read more

I've been coming here for years.... wouldn't go any other place for a fade.... ask for lina.... won't be disappointed...

Toni is the Asian barber right by the door everyone talks about in their reviews. I came in to get a haircut and didn't find Toni in her original spot for the first time in years! I walked right out and drove down Thornton only to find a TONI'S CUTS. Well, what do you know? It's the same ol' Toni I've been going to for years. If you guys are looking for Toni, she's opened up her own shop on the corner of Thornton and Elm! Look for Toni's Cuts. The new shop's number is (510) 402-4118. read more

This is your fathers and probably your grandfathers barber shop. This is an old school place that cuts hair with great service and a smile. I have had all the different employees at one time or another and never had a bad experience. I don't understand why people wait on line for a specific person though. I mean George is good, but the little Asian lady on the far right is the best! Prices were raised to $11.00. $11.00!! Are you kidding me? That's the best price for a cut in the Bay Area. Try to get in before 3pm. After that, the school kids start lining up... read more

Yesterday I had a haircut at George's and it was the worst I have ever had. I emerged looking like a woodpecker with tufts sticking out the left side of my head. This was a good deal more serious than the fact that the hair-butcher cut it very short after I asked that it be "medium" and "not too short." I do not know what happened there -- maybe the person who tried me was a family member who the real barbers were trying to help out. read more

If you are a long time tri-city person like me you remember going here back when Darrell owned the shop and then later George. Well it has received a much needed face lift inside and looks good. The new owners are very nice and the barbers all do a great job and are very friendly. Best part is the price is only $9 for a haircut. Unheard of these days where their competitors are charging $16-20 for a haircut. If u stop going here like I did some years ago...its time to go back and give them a shot. read more

First time here and I definitely will be a returning customer. Almost all barber shops in the East Bay are closed on Sundays, this shop is one of the only few that are opened 7 days a week, how convenient! Upon walking in, Lina the one who cut my hair, was extremely welcoming and friendly, I highly recommend you go to her. I showed her a picture of my previous hair cuts and what I wanted, she took a quick glance and instantly knew what to do. Lina was amazing, she did such a great job cutting my hair. There was Lina and another young lady working there and they made sure that the customers did not wait long, I only waited for 5 minutes and the customer waiting line was short. 5 stars and i highly recommend this place. Cam On (Thank you) Lina! read more
