I've been a loyal, consistent customer at the Cut & Shave Barber on Eisenhower for two years now,…read moreand for good reason. In my opinion, their customer service is second to none. Between the convenient location and very reasonable pricing, it's easily the best value in the area. While I have tried several barbers and even explored their other locations, I always find myself returning to the Eisenhower branch. Once you find a team that truly understands your hair and provides a top-notch experience, they earn your long-term loyalty. The Standouts: Kim: She is a fantastic stylist. Beyond her technical skills, she has incredible listening skills--she truly understands what you want and consistently exceeds expectations. She delivers 100% on every cut and genuinely aims to please. After speaking with other regulars, I know I'm not alone in this assessment. Anne: Kim was on vacation this week, so I had the pleasure of sitting in Anne's chair. She is kind, respectful, and highly skilled. I'll definitely be asking for her whenever Kim isn't available. I highly recommend this location. You might see a few "haters" or trolls posting negative reviews to downplay the competition, but don't let that deter you. I promise you won't be disappointed with the Eisenhower team. Pro-tip: Schedule your next appointment with Kim or Anne for the best experience--and tell them Bruce sent you!

Upon entering you will find a modern salon with a little bit of an Asian flair in decor. Very clean and calming. I guarantee you will be greeted with a smile, an offer to store your coat and a drink if you like. The waiting area is clean and neat and features a coffee machine and a refrigerator with a selection of refreshing drinks. Honestly I've never waited long because appointments run on time. Next is the hair wash station where I'm always soaped up with lovely scented shampoo that suits my hair type. And there's the heavenly head massage. I could sit there all day! I have short hair and Kevin is an expert at this kind of cut. Love the way he flips the scissors as he works. I've also seen some great color work and he's got many customers with long beautiful haircuts as well. Payment at the front desk is super easy. All the stylists and shampoo artists take cash or Venmo for tips. I highly recommend Aquilano salon.

This is vilely exorbitant, though the ridiculous prices match the ones in the Safeway Supermarket next door.
