Alex is positive, outgoing and a real pleasure to do business with. My haircut turned out great; best I've had in years. I will definitely be back!! read more

The vibe is there for a great haircut and conversation. You need a barber ... Haven will deliver!

This is one of those places that I don't want to review because I don't want others to find my hidden gem. :) Alex and Erin own the shop--they're the friendliest dang people in the entire world and also give a fantastic haircut. I usually book an apt through their website a few days in advance. Give these fine folks your business--you won't regret it. read more

LOVE my new cut. Had no idea I could look this good. Thanks, Alex! Highly recommend. Book and pay online for seamless experience.

I really like the staff at the Haven Barber shop. They are a very modern barber shop & frequently do unusual "modern" haircuts. However, I just get a regular haircut. And like their work. read more

Extremely happy/excited for this! Alex and Erin (previously worked at the Palms Barber Shop) have opened up their own shop! Very cool vibe in the shop, old school arcade games for you to enjoy while you wait. Alex and Erin have been cutting my hair for 5 years, I trust either of them to do a fantastic job every time. They have 2 open chairs at the moment, I am sure they will bring in some top talent. Come here if you want a great cut and want to be a part of the Haven community. read more

Erin has been cutting my hair for a year now. If you're looking for someone who understands and can execute the Asian fade, ask for Erin.

Alex and Erin always cut my hair better than anyone else. Both of them do a fantastic job! They're kind. They ask good questions. They're authentic. They make you feel loved, and their new barber shop is even better than the one they were at before! Spacious and inviting. I feel like I'm always discovering new friends who get their hair cut at Haven. And the reason why is obvious: Alex and Erin are the best. read more

Got a cut from Alex yesterday. Great cut, cool shop. Super easy and highly recommended.

Totally recommend! Alex has been cutting my hair for over 3 years now (I started going to him when he and Erin were at Palms). He does an excellent job and a great price - and now their new space is amazing. Very cool vibe, very laid back, and there is parking. Alex and Erin are super talented and have great personalities - totally recommend!!! Side note - their new shop has two open chairs, so if you know someone with talent and is looking for a space, hook them up! read more

Best Barbers in Santa Barbara: super talented and just nice, cool people. The new shop also has a great vibe. Highly recommended!

Erin was first my bartender and then my barber. She rocks! It looks like I'm stuck following her around! Erin and Alex have outdone themselves with their new location. It has a great Florida like feel and is super comfortable and relaxing. Totally unlike anything else around. Go! You wont be disappointed! read more

Erin and Alex (formerly of Palms) just moved to this awesome new spot! Erin has been cutting my hair since I moved to Santa Barbara, and I wouldn't think of seeing anyone else. She cuts my hair better than anyone I've been to before. The new space is really nice! I love how spacious it is. The decor is very welcoming, and there are a lot of spaces for relaxing. It's clear they put a lot of thought and work into making their new salon. There are also some arcade games (including The Simpsons), so bring quarters. There's also parking in the back, and there's a bunch of 90 minute parking on the street as well. Definitely stop in and see Erin and Alex if you need your hair cut! read more

Can't say enough about the radness of this place. Getting a haircut used to feel like a chore until I found these guys. Now I look forward to it. Erin and Alex are salt of the earth people who are forward-thinking while honoring the past. This is what a classic barber shop should look like in modern times! And there is an authenticity to what they are doing that you just don't find often. By the way, don't miss their new bike store next door. It will change the way you look at bikes and what you thought possible of a bike store...One look at it and you'll know what I mean. read more

The decor is chic. The barbers are incredible and always remember the small details about your hair and you. They are reliable, provider 5-star service, and always make me and my partner super comfortable. They are pro-LGBT+, a minority-owned business, and they provide the service quality of greater than most barbers I even had in lower-manhattan or in the nicest parts of Los Angeles. I try to always get my hair cut from them when I am in town, visiting from LA, and it's worth the wait. Erin and Alex, keep doing what you're doing! read more

Erin and Alex formerly of Palms just moved to a awesome new spot. Erin has been cutting my hair for a long time. each time just right. great people to be around.i highly recommend Haven. read more

This place is fantastic. I needed a quick cut hours before my wedding, and didn't know anyone good in SB. I rolled the dice on Haven because of their excellent reviews. I went in and didn't know what to expect. I chatted with Alex G., who was super helpful and accommodating. He hooked me up with a great haircut and was very flexible about what I was needing. I would definitely use this place as my go-to if I lived in the area. read more

Erin and Alex have a great looking place, good vibes. If you're in their neighborhood stop by and say hello. Appointments are recommended for proper service and convenience. I was on time and we're they. Left with the kind of cut I wanted. They also have parking in the rear. read more

Haven Barber & Shop - Front Entrance - Barbers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Erin and Alex are a great team and take care in every element of what they do. Thoughtful space with a unique vibe that is distinct but also fits into the De La Vina neighborhood. The clients that go to them for a cut are all friendly and enjoy have conversations in the lovely lounge area in the shop. It's special to find a barber shop that has personality and incredible client service. Santa Barbara does not have anything like Haven and I'd recommend to anyone looking for a sharp new look or looking to join a community of people who will welcome you and be grateful you're there. read more

Seriously the best cuts in town. It's the only place I've ever gotten my hair cut where I get legit compliments on my hair by multiple people EVERY TIME. Alex and Erin recently opened this new barbershop after being at Palms for multiple years. They already have the great reputation for good cuts from Palms and now they have their own spot to add their own style and vibe to it. Place looks amazing and even has arcade games to play while you wait. Alex usually cuts my hair but I would trust Erin to do a great job as well. read more

Alex and Erin are Santa Barbara royalty. If you know what's up, you're getting your hair cut here. Haven forever.

The best barbershop in Santa Barbara, in a town full of barbershops, Haven stands out the most not only is the aesthetic of the shop refreshing (artwork, magazines and Simpson's arcade game!) the barbers themselves are amazing and friendly! Highly recommend getting your haircut at Haven! read more

Haven Barber & Shop - Barbers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Alex has cut my hair for a couple years prior to opening his own shop. He's an experienced, skilled barber who can pretty much do whatever you ask. I usually get a fade on the sides or some sort of undercut with more length on top, and he always does it perfectly. He also does a great job cutting with scissors if you prefer more length. Him and Erin are very talented and personable, so they'll always work with you to get you what you want and make sure you have a good time while in the shop. Also, their new space has a killer vibe. Good cuts, good vibes, good prices. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Fantastic spot. Authentic, genuine, and reliable. Very much enjoyed the vibe, the conversation, and of course the cut. Thanks!

Went in for a haircut today because my hair felt long and I couldn't wait until I was back in my hometown a few weeks from now. Haven was recommended by my friend and I was so happy with how my cut turned out! Erin did a great job and I felt very welcomed into the shop. Quality hair cut that is fairly priced. Unfortunately, these next 3 months are my last at UCSB so I don't know when I'll get another haircut in SB. But if I do, I'm coming back here! read more

This shop is legit, hands down the best haircut I've recieved in Santa Barbara. The atmosphere will keep you entertained while you wait with classic arcade games and thoughtfully placed treasures. This has become my regular spot for a trim. read more

Very friendly, price is reasonable, there is always an available appointment, and my haircut is always on point! This is by the far the greatest barber that I have ever visited. Highly recommend! read more

Killer new spot! The space is wide open and bright, furniture and decor is tasteful. Everyone was so welcoming and easy to talk to. It didn't feel like those forced conversations I dread when going to the barber/doctor/dentist. Just easygoing, natural conversation. Most importantly, I got such a good cut. I'm very picky and my hair is difficult, but damn best haircut I've gotten in some time. read more
