Prices very affordable. But the way they cut hair is perfect. Fades really good, and has many styles the can work with. Must try been going to GQ 10 years read more

I have been a regular customer for four years now and will continue to be one. Katie is the best. She will ask in advance what type of cut, she is very skilled, works quickly, and always accepts feedback. Call in advance for an appointment and she will always add you to her schedule. Highly Recommended! read more

Price suddenly went up from $18 to $22. Steep increase in price in one month and they only accept cash. Owner is getting greedy! They use old rusted equipment and no way hygienic. They Don't clean the hair from the chair after use.Too pricey:( read more

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. read more

GQ Barber - Closed Sundays - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

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

Great haircut by Mr. Quang. Friendly and great service. I highly recommend it. Will come to cut my hair next time.

Asked for a low fade. Didn't like that my hair was still too long so I ask if we can go down a size. Barber looked at me and said I'd have to pay double for him to fix it. I was in the chair for less than 10 minutes and he wanted me to pay him double to fix a shitty cut. Felt rushed and unwelcome. read more

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!! read more

GQ Barber - Entrance! - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been getting my haircuts here for about a year now. There are two folks working here. They're both good. They definitely know how to work my hair (curly). They ask you for feedback at the end. The place is just your average barber shop but it's cheap. I'd definitely recommend getting an appointment. They get super busy and you sometimes have to wait for an hour if you don't have an appointment as there will be a constant stream of people with appointments! read more

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. read more

Called ahead and was seated right away. Not the fanciest barber shop, but their skill is amazing!! Got the best haircut of my life in 20 minutes and the price was great. They also had a stringent safety protocol in place to protect against COVID-19. read more

Really solid mid taper fade w a slight trim on top. She got it done in like 20 mins and it was only $20.

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. read more

One of the worst taper fades in the world. It was so uneven on both sides.

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! read more

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. read more

GQ Barber - Simple cut but just the way I wanted it. #4 on the sides and the back with a little bit off the top... $9. - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

Been coming here for over 3 years now. Tried this spot out because it is closer to my office. They do a great job for a great price. They are quick, friendly and they always do a solid job. I would highly recommend them. read more

This was my first time going to GQ. Had to do a hair follicle drug test, ended up with chunks of hair missing, called Katie and she said come on over. Got a great haircut on a walk in for under $20, highly recommend Katie. read more

I have been coming to KATIE for my haircut for about 5 years. She used to be at another shop a lot smaller off of friars road. She informed me that she will then move to this one, and yes... I did follow her. She made me feel very comfortable and at ease. In fact, she made me look very good by her talented and gentle hands. She listens, cares, and tells you what the best haircut you can have based on her experience. Katie, is a great barber, a great mother of a cute boy, and she carries a good conversation about any subject in life. A young but mature wise sweet lady with warm smile that she always carries on her face. I always feel happy when I visit this shop. I tried also to have her to shave my beard with a bit of concern.... Well, she exceeded my expectations the way she did it gently and precisely. Very talented and kind lady! Guys!! You better go to this shop. Try any of the two, but you will be lucky if your head is under KATIE's smooth hands. Thank you KATIE for making my day better every time I come by. read more

Friendly customer service, quick haircut and very accessible prices! Plus 5 min away from my apartment, Definitely coming back , thank you read more

See all

I had my haircut done by the older lady and it came out great, although maybe there was a language barrier. I possibly could have been more specific as to what I wanted when I said "trim the top". I wanted my hair much longer so that I can hand comb it to the side. If I have received my intended hair cut they would have received the 5 star. I would come back to this place for another hair cut. You cant really go wrong with a $10 haircut. It beats going to a franchised haircut place and paying double. I personally cant justify paying double for a haircut. read more

Ok so for a $9 there's not much you can complain about. This is a no-nonsense little shop located east of Qualcomm, just south of the Kaiser Zion Hospital. It's run by two friendly Vietnamese ladies, who seem to be hard working and eager to please their customers. SD has become much like LA in its love of hipsterry boutique barber shops, where you get a shave and a beer and some guy talk. This is not such a place: you come here, get a quick cut, and go on with your merry day. For what it is, they do pretty well here. My barber did a great job. She cut my hair well, didn't rush, and I was pleased with the end result. And for $9 I think this is a great deal. Unfortunately, all good deals have caveats: there were a few drawbacks of my experience. 1. I had the barber redo a few areas that I wanted to change: thinner fade and shorter sideburns. She wasn't so happy about this: so I got to hear some Vietnamese curse words that reminded me of that Anjela Johnson nail salon skit. 2. The barber did a poor job of trimming my neck and left a lot of rogue hairs that I had to shave myself 3. When the barber cleaned my off, she covered me in hair. I recommend bringing a change of shirt if you have to go back to work after your cut, or you'll be itchy all day. All in all, the cut wasn't bad, especially for the price. Service and attention to detail weren't excellent, but I'd still go back if I couldn't find time to see my regular barber. read more

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

Great haircuts at great prices! My fiancé finally found a good place to get his haircut. Between the two ladies who work here they never do a bad job. My fiancé has a cow lick on his hair and most places have trouble making his hair even. These ladies never have any issues. Thank you for doing a great job. Keeps me happy since I have to look at him every day! read more

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

In and out fast. $11 for a hair cut. I stopped here because my normal barber was booked. Now I find myself coming here more often.

Yes Katie is amazing!! She knows very well how to cut hair especially mens ! Highly recommend!!

I used to get my hair cut at AJ's barber, that's until Katie moved to GQ Barber. Now, I go here. Where she goes I will follow. The only girl that knows how to cut my hair. The place is clean, there's a TV watch, very open space and plenty of parking. GQ barber located in the same parking lot as JT's bar and grill. Perfect place to get a beer after. There's also a Chinese restaurant and liquor store all in the same lot. read more

Quick and quality haircuts...plus Katie is great! Highly recommend if you're looking for your next regular haircut spot.

8.00 hair cut. I had to start with that. Ok I may not have a lot of locks of hair. But I hate when you spend a lot for an easy hair cut. The Older Asain Lady Sara. Was very nice. She took her time cutting my hair. She made sure it was done right. She talked to me like any other barber. She looked interested at what i said. As my hair was being cut. Some other people had walked in. All waiting patiently for their turn. I could tell these were repeat customers. They all said hello to Sara like they knew her. They also had brought their friends. They do mens and women hair cuts. I found this place on yelp. I told her about it. I told her that GQ had the best reviews. She was happy to hear that. I walked out of there with a great hair cut and tipped her well for it. I will be back. read more

I'll drive 25 miles now to get my haircut with Katie. I've been getting my haircut by Katie for more than 10 years and have never been disappointed. read more

Short wait time and fast hair cut. Pricing was good and everybody is friendly. Only downside is a little short on quality of the cut. Will come back in the future for another quick cut. read more

I walked in to try this place and get a haircut. From all the positive reviews I had to try it out. When I walked in, the ladies were really friendly and the place was really big and clean. I showed the nice lady a picture of how I wanted my haircut and as a result it was just how I wanted it. Also the price was great $9 and left her a $5 tip and I thanked her and told her I would come back. Great place to come get a haircut, nice people, and great prices!!! Recommend this place!!! read more

Very happy with the cut. Fast, knowledgeable with military cuts. Friendly and efficient service. I don't hand out 5's for just any reason. Hair cuts are good out of here. read more

I recently went here for a men's haircut before a wedding. If you aren't pick about your hair want a quick and inexpensive haircut, this is the place to go. My barber makes an effort to have a conversation with you that you won't get at most places. I will be coming back here as my usual place. read more

Before Walking In I Was A Bit Afraid Because I Didn't Know What To Expect!! But once I walked in, I noticed the place was really clean and the 2 ladies who were cutting hair were really nice and friendly. I showed the nice lady 2 photos of how I wanted my haircut, she saw them and then got started. She took her time about 15-20 min in cutting my hair. She was careful with the machines not being rough. As for the final result, my haircut was just as how I wanted it. Plus for $10 couldn't have been any better. Left her a $5 tip and said thank you and that I will see her soon. I will definitely return and finally found a barbershop where they cut hair exceptionally well and who take their time. Plus the price is good and not expensive at all. I recommend to come here and give it a try, you will be amazed and will love it :) read more
