Been coming to Knowledge Barbershop since they first opened, but I've been getting cut by Jon since '09. Lately I've been going to Jake too, both of them always get me right. Honestly, all the barbers there are professional, kind, and really know what they're doing. They take their time and make sure everything comes out clean. They cut my son's hair too, and people are always asking where he gets it done because it's so sharp. I always tell them Knowledge Barbershop in Willow Glen. Definitely recommend to anybody looking for a solid, reliable spot. read more

Patrick is the man, I haven't had a haircut in over 8 years (I've been rocking a man bun for that duration). He basically transformed me and did it with ease. I like how he knows all the trends, is very technical with the scope of the haircut, and knows so much about it. I did some research beforehand, and it appears the trendy hairstyle right now is called the "Wolfcut". As much as I would've loved to have tried the Wolfcut, I wanted a hairstyle more appropriate for my age. That's not to say I won't try it in the future, perhaps. I have been getting many compliments and it's been such a huge confidence booster. I get told that I look way younger by people who know my real age. I don't think I've ever had an amazing haircut as much as this one before. Yes, he is kinda pricey, but I think he's worth it. Also, again, I hadn't had a haircut in over 8 years. This awesome haircut paired with a rigorous skincare routine of mine (tretinoin 0.025% gang where you at), I am starting to be called "unc" fewer times now. read more

Patrick Is the best. He is worth the drive from the Peninsula to Willow Glen or where ever you are. Great modern and professional barbershop with excellent cuts.

I've been going for quite a while now to get my cut from Jake at Knowledge Barbershop.The service and quality is always top tier. Also every time I walked in I'm always greeted by all the barbers and the plus side is they always have good music playing in the background. I genuinely enjoy getting my cuts here that I take my son to get his cuts because I've never once have we got a bad cut. They are great with kids and pricing is fair for the quality they provide. read more

Knowledge barbershop is my go to barbershop been going here for years. Go to Jake but all the barbers here do great work. Would recommend this barbershop every time and have been to everyone I know. read more

My boyfriend and his friends all came to get cut by Patrick aka pmoneyfadez and they were all satisfied by their cuts. Patrick is skilled and took his time. He nailed 3 different looks on 3 different hair types. If you're waiting for someone to finish, they have chairs and a bench as well as a little miniature golf set. read more

I got a haircut today from Patrick. I mentioned to him initially that I was growing my hair out for a wolfcut and wanted to add texture and flow to it. I never mentioned that I wanted a significant change or to chop off a significant portion of my hair. He recommended bringing the sides in to expose my forehead more which I agreed with. He also asked about the back length and my thoughts on it and I expressed I wanted to grow it out more. Essentially I was under the impression that he would be layering the top, sides, back to remove the weight and bring in the sides with scissors. I am not sure where the miscommunication occurred but he ended up using clippers on the sides and brining it back significantly and cutting off a significant length of my bangs and cutting off a significant portion of the back of my hair which I got bleached in Korea. Roughly towards the end of the cut, he mentioned that he didn't want me to be shocked because this was going to be a signicant change to which I really didn't know how to respond. At the end of the haircut, when I could actually see with my glasses, I was pretty distraught by the amount of hair he chopped off. I am upset because I didn't come into this wanting a significant change, expressed that I wanted a different hair style, nor did I mention that I wanted to have my hair short--I said I'm growing my hair out for a wolf cut. I don't understand why he would cut so much of my hair off to add texture or flow to it. I am really sad because I haven't had any haircuts in the last 8 months to remove length; just layering cuts. I don't know I'm just really sad because it's going to take a long time to regrow again. I don't want this review to be an attack on Patrick because I know he's probably highly skilled barber; I am just upset because I assumed he and I were on the same page because I ended up getting one of those big transformation haircuts I didn't ask her. There's no amount of money someone could pay me to get one these cuts. The store itself is nice and parking is super easy. I also tipped 20 percent despite this. I expressed my dissafication at end but told it'll grow into what I wanted... read more

Just had an appointment with Westley, his skill is exceptional and he really understands your needs. The environment is definitely clean enough for a barbershop, vibe is relaxing as well. read more

Get your cut with Patrick! He helped me lock in a 2nd date with my crush :) They also always play really good music.

Patrick is one of my favorite barbers I've had, not only in San Jose but in my entire life. He has such a good eye for head shape, style, and personality. I trust him in choosing my cut and executing it every time. He's the nicest dude and has a way with his hands. I would definitely give him a shot if you have never tried! read more

I've been booking my appointments with Patrick since July 2024 and he has always delivered exactly what I requested of him (especially when it comes to getting the Levi from Attack on Titan anime look). He does great scissor work as well as providing me with "knowledge" on how to style and maintain my hair texture. I have had three appointments with Patrick so far and every time that I've told him that I'm getting a haircut to get ready to see my girlfriend in Culver City in SOCAL, she can't seem to get her hands off of me after every fresh cut that Patrick blesses me with before my trip. read more

Patrick is the man. I keep coming back to him because he knows how I like my hair done. So if you need a haircut he's the man.

Got a maintenance haircut several months ago for growing my hair out and Patrick did a great job and my girlfriend loved how my haircut came out. Cool guy and pleasant experience, cant wait to get another haircut from him. read more

PATRICK IS THE MAN!! Found him on Tik Tok and decided to go to him and he KILLED it. If you're asian and been trying to find a barber who knows how to cut asian hair and will give you what you want then book with Patrick! read more

Patrick sucks, over charges and doesn't even style the hair basically just cuts hair off.

Been going Patrick for a while now and I can say he's never disappointed me with his service. Talented barber who knows what his clients wants and excecutes it well. I highly recommend Patrick for those who are considering this spot. read more

Talented barbers (especially David), great vibe, friendly people. 10/10 would def recommend!

Been getting my haircut from Patrick for years now for multiple different hair styles. Each time I decide to switch it up , he's always able to deliver what I want with several recommendations to make it suit my face shape more. If you're looking for someone who can deliver with Asian textured hair, make sure you come see Patrick! read more

The vibe the facility had was chill. Worth the money 100%. Would definitely recommend and I am for sure coming back read more

Found this new hidden gem in Willow Glen area. Took my son here to get a child's haircut. We booked with Jake as we had gone to him previously. We followed Jake here to this new shop and were so happy we did! Overall professional demeanor, great hot spot for kids and adults ! Jake has so much patience and his craft is undeniable. The new shop has COVID requirements and it helps customers feel safe off the bat. Can't wait to take my other kids and for my husband to book next ! Will post again for next visit, I'm sure it will be the same result - happy - returning - customers ! Book with Jake or anyone at this shop. If you go to their company website, you can choose the specific barber for your needs. Thank me later ! read more

Patrick was very knowledgeable and had exemplary customer service but the cut wasn't to my liking despite it being the most I've ever spent on a haircut. I'm sure he is top-quality, but for me wanting a fade, the cut turned out not I had hoped. read more

JR knows his craft and getcha lookin sharp for any occassion this shop is located in the heart of the willow glen shops area. they got a small parking lot as well as side street parking read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Franco for the past few months before he moved to Knowledge Barbershop. He has an attention to detail and skill that I really appreciate. Always very satisfied with the hair cuts he gives me. He's also a really cool guy, which is why I decided to follow him to this new barbershop, even though it's a further drive. A good barber is hard to find. When I came to Knowledge Barbershop for the first time a week ago, I was pleased to see a clean, safe environment, where someone took my temperature when I entered. Social distancing was practiced. And the other barbers were friendly. And seems this place is dog friendly too. Also, it's located in a great area, downtown Willow Glen, where there is a lot of restaurants and shops to kill time if you're early or hungry after your cut. read more

Jon and David always keep my fade clean and crisp for years. They used to be at another barbershop in SJ, but their new shop is now on the Willow Glen strip. Prices are reasonable vs. some of the other barbershops in the area, and they do a full hour so they can take their time and make sure you get what you want. Only downside is word is getting out on how good they are, so last minute appointments are hard to come by. I do appreciate the online appointment system and COVID updates on their site too. read more

Franco is one of the dopest barber in the Bay Area. He takes his time making sure your cut comes out perfect every time. He is a super chill barber that gets to know his clients on a personal level and every time i go get a haircut, it's like catching up with a long time friend. Knowledge barbershop is also very welcoming as every time i come in, i am always welcomed, even if it's not by my barber, Franco. They are ensuring their customers safety by putting up curtains between chairs and sanitizing before and after every cut. read more

First, I want to say that I'm extremely happy for my brothas Jake & John. I've known Jake for a very long time when he used to cut at other shops, but now that he's open up this one - I couldn't be more excited. I can go on for days about how Jake cuts my hair and has been my go-to barber for 5+ years, but I want to highlight all of the barbers at the shop. They're all amazing and I would go with any of them if Jake was fully booked. I trust them that much. Now during these COVID times, their sanitation and precautionary measures are impeccable. Temperature is immediately checked upon arrival and each seat is more than 6 feet away from each other. Masks are required at all times and hand sanitizers are readily available for customers. If you haven't checked out Knowledge yet, you're missing out - especially if you're in Willow Glen. Give it a shot and trust me, you'll become a regular booking in advance. read more

Went in for a cut before Thanksgiving and the entire shop was clean and following all Covid regulations/guidelines. Jon has been my barber for several years and is a true master at his craft. You can tell just how much time and effort he puts in if you've seen any of his cuts. Their shop has very reasonable prices compared to other barbershops and is in a prime location in Willow Glen. I highly recommend on checking them out, but be sure to book in advance because spots do fill up fast. The entire shop is filled with talented barbers and has a very chill ambiance so if you are looking for an overall great experience Knowledge Barbershop is the place to go! read more

Solid cut from JR. Listened to what I wanted and make sure I looked great walking out of the store. JR won't rush you and ensures he does the best possible cut for you. Will be back again. read more

All the barbers were very welcoming and friendly. This shop was definitely different from any other barbershops I've been to in the Bay. I ended up getting cut by one of the newer barbers in the shop (Alvin) and asked for a Taper. It came out crispy and just how I wanted my Tapers to look. Location is great depending where you're from. Can leave the shop looking fresh while enjoying a couple drinks in the area. read more

Great customer service , great environment. they will definitely change your life after each haircut. David is the man. read more

I was looking for Barber for a while now. Came across this place and thought that I'll give it a try. Everyone that worked there was very polite. Alvin was my barber. He was really friendly and we had a great chat. He listened to what I wanted. Everything came out to be really Detailed and smooth. Great Company, great cut. What more can you ask for? Haha I most likely be a regular here. I highly recommend Alvin. read more

I love coming here week after week because I know I'll be taken care of. KB barber shop is packed with experienced veterans who are second to none. Their online booking is super easy & convenient when planning ahead, but walk ins are also welcome. The prices are great considering the new Campbell location. Highly recommend, they have that top two, but not two vibe -AR read more
