Yes, this place lives up to the hype. Denny is a passionate barber -- or I should say, a true hair artist. He gave me the best haircut I've had in the last few years. No rushing, just pure passion and attention to the smallest details. And when he used the barber razor for the final touch, it felt smooth like a butter knife. I'll keep going there... until I sell my house and move to Florida. read more

Yes, really as good as everyone says. Meticulous & very cost effective. Downside is you often have to wait quite a while as a result. But I love getting my beard trim here. read more

Katie has done a beautiful job at both cutting and highlighting my hair. She knows what she's doing, takes her time explaining everything and clearly cares about the outcome. I couldn't be happier with the result. read more

What a hidden gem! Lots of parking and small businesses in this little strip mall. Walk-in only and cash only with a very classic barber shop feel. Super friendly and efficient barbers. Kids hair cut is $22 and men's is $25. We came in on a Sunday afternoon and waited about 15 minutes. Danny cut my son's hair and did a wonderful job! Great experience and we will be back. read more

Izzy's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - San Jose, California

After paying $40 plus a $5 tip to other men's barber shops, I found Izzys Barber Shop for $22 plus a $3 tip for a better cut. Conveniently located in Almaden Valley, offers plenty of parking with neighboring shops. Izzy's Barber Shop is a hidden gem of quality cuts while saving money during hyperinflation. A clean shop with comfortable chairs and soft music wafting in the background makes for a relaxed setting. My barber was Danny, who listened to what I wanted: a low fade around the ears with a taper in the back, and a layer cut on top. Danny delivered on what I requested and finished up with a razor shave around my ears and the back of my neck. In summary, the best cut I have had in years. I will be going back again and again. They only accept cash. read more

Prices have been raised from 22 to 25 but the quality of Danny is unmatched. I would come back to him and request him every time. Clean fade. read more

Hidden gem for barbers just there, ...only accepts cash and charges $22 for men haircut, Be ready to wit sometime but worth it! read more

My son gets his hair cut at Izzy's every couple of months. We wouldn't come back if Danny didn't do a good job. The customer service is excellent. There are always customers but the wait is never long. His haircut costs $22 (cash only). Usually 2-3 barbers available most days it seems. Their shop has candy and treats for kids too. It's always kept clean. I would recommend a friend or family member to Izzy's Barber Shop. read more

Hair cutting is Art, barber here are artists. Me and my son both visit here from past 2 years

Great cut! Very through and well priced. Only charged me $22 when I normally pay $60 for equal if not better service!

Our 3 yr old got a cut here. Very reasonably priced, albeit busy, it was a great fade and fast! Will be back!

Excellent, attentive service. Danny is a great barber, following in his uncle's footsteps. I visit monthly, if not more often, since moving to this area 4 years ago. Superior hair cut, beard trim & sometimes a shave! read more

Been living in Almaden Valley for 35 years I haven't had much of a need for a barber because I'm bald. I do have a beard and I have been looking for Barber to keep it in good shape. Decided to try Izzy's as it is local. Fantastic customer service. Exceptionally clean. Very friendly barbers and do a great job for a reasonable price. read more

They are always quick and do a great job! Izzy just retired, but we met the new barber Danny and he's very nice!

One of the best barbers I've been to in San Jose. Definitely the best barber in Almaden.

The barber stayed past business hours to cut my hair. Great to have that kind of personal treatment with a barber!

I had an amazing experience getting a haircut from this place. The barber seemed very experienced and was friendly to talk to. He was also very gentle with the hair cutting tools and asked a lot of questions in order to give you the hair style you are looking for. I recommend this place but just make sure you have enough cash. The price was also very decent, considering that our economy is making us all go broke. read more

Stopped by for the first time to get my husband a haircut. His barber recently retired and we have been shopping for the right new barber. I believe we found one with Therese who cut his hair, trimmed his mustache and sideburns, even his eyebrows. He was so happy and got lots of compliments. They take cash only. read more

Great cut. Called last minute and took me in. Did not rush and did a great job. Highly impressed. A must try.

My usual barber for nearly 20 years, Jenny at The Hair Works in Cupertino, is away for two weeks, and I desperately needed a haircut, so I gave this place a whirl. It is less than three miles from home, so the location is convenient. While not as good as Jenny, who I would rate six stars if I could, I am completely satisfied with today's haircut, and definitely will visit again, especially if my usual barber is not available. The nice lady who cut my hair was very concerned with my satisfaction. That in itself speaks volumes about this business. read more

Danny had been my go to barber in the Almaden area for the past two years. Nothing to complain.

Great haircut & fair pricing. I went to a shop in Los Gatos & they were charging surge pricing, $50 for a haircut. I won't be going back there again. Stay open in the purple tier. read more

Decent hairshop in Almaden neighborhood. Nice and friendly people. Old fashioned interior. Reasonable price $20 for men.

Excellent all around haircutting experience for my 13 yr old son. Denny took care to do an amazing job. Thank you Izzy's.

Greeted warmly and ready to take my 10 year old immediately on a Monday afternoon. This is a very convenient location and parking is never a problem. Of course consider walking in. Lots of homes and parks nearby! We will be happy to return. Tween approved! read more

Great place for classic-style haircuts. My grandpa got his cuts here for years and now I get mine here too. For $15, you can't find a better haircut than this place. read more

We have been here a few times for my husband and my 4 year old son. They are always super nice, accommodating for my kid who is scared of the clippers, and they do a great job! We will keep going back. Great prices but make sure to take cash! read more

Great guy who works there, does a great job on my hair. Only problem is that he has the thickest accent I've ever heard. Other than that he does a great job and he's super nice to all the customers that are in there. read more

I've been here several times over the past year. Each barber gives an excellent haircut exactly how I request it. Customer service is also excellent. Price isn't the lowest but definitely reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

I love the great customer service with a smile that they are giving there, always! Most barbers would complaint that it is very difficult to cut my hair due to the fact that the shape of my head is not perfectly rounded or straight to fit the style that I like... some to the point where I never go back to them after the first try due to their complaints...I am happy to say that is not the case with them. The barbers there had never complaint to me and I am always pleased with the results every time I go there... read more
