Closed Sundays

Closed Sundays! Not as advertised on Yelp. You have been warned. So far great reviews and I'll update when I actually get a haircut. Followed yelp hours showing it was open on Sunday - only to be disappointed at 9am.

Entrance!

I have been coming here for the last two years, and have gotten a very consistent cut I am happy with! I am the kind of person that goes to one barbershop even if it means I have to travel. Loyalty goes along way, and I need that with my type of hair ha ha! The place is situated with in a plaza, and there is a sign leading to the area which can be hard to find. There is ample parking, and the place is full of seating. Usually when I go into mid afternoon there is nearly no one waiting, and I get my haircut done in less than 30 minutes. Prices are more than reasonable and start from $10 for a regular haircut, which is probably half the price that you would pay at most fancier places. For someone like me who needs to go monthly, it can make a big difference! Most of all the people are very kind, they get to know you, and remember what kind of cut you get!!

A lot of parking space, had no wait when I got there. I got my haircut from the older lady. She did a good fade on one side, but wrecked the other. Definitely not worth $12.

Katie is extremely talented at cutting hair & for a really great price. I am usually pretty selective when it comes to having my hair cut a certain way and used to go to another shop. Due to the unfortunate events of COVID-19 with most shops halting business, I saw that this place was still open and moved their stations outside. I was lucky enough to have Katie give me a great mid-skin fade and will definitely be back here as a long-term customer.

Ask for Katie! She has been cutting my hair every 3 or 4 weeks for the last 2 years and she always does a great job! Very friendly and gentle, not scraping your head with the comb, jamming the clippers into your head, or smashing your ears like some other stylists have done to me in the past, and the cut is always great too. I get a skin fade (not quite high-and-tight military style, but almost). It's really cheap too, only $8 or $9 bucks depending on what type of cut you get, but personally I happily tip her $6 on top of that and pay $15 out the door...that's a minimum of what you'd pay at a lot of other places NOT counting the tip!

Simple cut but just the way I wanted it.  #4 on the sides and the back with a little bit off the top... $9.

Just got a haircut from Becky. Very simple cut but I was pleased with the outcome and the experience. She was very pleasant and we chatted throughout the haircut as if we had known each other for many years. The Price for a base men's is now $9 which is very reasonable. I'd throw in an extra $6 for tip to make it $15 and you are still at half the price of the places in the mall or the trendy places like Floyd's etc.. The place is in a little shady Plaza but thst helps in keeping their costs down when providing you a haircut. There was plenty of parking available right in the plaza.

They cut my ear during haircut Monday, 2/3/2020. It was bleeding, it was bad.

One of the most uneven hair cuts I have ever had in my life. Some one needs to get their eyes checked.

Asked for an undercut/disconnect, and it was blended in fully. Not what I asked for, but still a good cut besides that.

$10 fades aren't bad at all and considering how close this place is to home, it's a deal.

Boris took care of me and gave me a medium fade, and the haircut came out excellent. The customer service was on point, the shop was clean, well kept, and had a great vibe. I also appreciated that they offered refreshments, which is a nice touch and makes the whole experience feel elevated. Most importantly, the haircut itself was really well done, clean, sharp, and exactly what I was looking for. Pricing was fair and reasonable, especially for the quality of work and service. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend this spot if you're looking for a solid cut and a professional, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely coming back here when I come back to San Diego.

My haircut also came with a shampooing which was a nice bonus and I really left the shop feeling great with my new haircut. I'm just visiting town but if I lived here I would for sure be coming back. The barbers were all really nice and friendly. The vibe is chill and they have some complementary drinks while you wait. I wish I had this in my home town.

I highly recommend Jay- Jay takes his time, listens to exactly what you want, and makes sure everything is perfect before you leave the chair. You never feel rushed, and it really shows in the quality of his work. If you're looking for a barber who genuinely cares about giving you a great cut, Jay is the one to see.

I needed a haircut today and they welcome walk ins and so I waited. Wait was about 45 minutes and I got seated. I blame myself for letting him continue cutting when I could feel he was going too short already. But he saw me walking in and I told him I wanted a trim of 1.5 inches all around. My hair was cut MCUH shorter, almost like someone who has straight hair. He didn't understand that the way I walked in was the way I wanted to walk out, enough length to curl my entire head. What I was left with was .5 around the sides and less than an inch on the top. I can't style my hair at all. I'm genuinely concerned at how he let me stand up from that chair, again, seeing how I walked in and just asking for a trim and cleanup. I ask for the same thing at every barber shop and I've never looked this bad. I hate to leave this review but I want to put the warning to anyone with curly hair, not to go here. My total was around $75 because I'm not rude and I still tip. Included is before and afters of my hair ):

We went in bc ALL doors and signs were still open and signaling to come in. One stylist (pink hair) was washing someone's hair (heavy set middle age women), later to find out she was an employee. I asked to buy bear oil for my dad. The lady with the pink hair didn't know the correct price and I overheard her ask the employee who was getting her hair washed the price. Once the employee was done getting her hair washed she was obnoxiously rude & told us the establishment was closes at 7pm; it was two min after closing time, but I replied to her all doors were open and signs were out. Her tone of voice and demeanor was aggressive and didn't seem she wanted to serve us as customers. I left the product on the counter and ordered it on Amazon, which was much cheaper. Do better and tell employees not to do hair until the establishment is closed meaning all doors and signs are put away. Shop appeared to be clean, but customer service was hostile and aggressive.
