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

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

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

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

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 !

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

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

During the appointment, the barber had his child with him and seemed fairly distracted, taking multiple breaks to tend to them. I tried to be understanding, but it definitely affected the focus of the cut. At one point I asked for just a small amount taken off the back since it was slightly longer near my neck. Unfortunately, too much was cut, and I was told more would need to come off the top to make it look uniform. More was then taken off the sides as well, again much more than expected. The end result is very uneven and honestly looks like a botched mullet. I normally never leave negative reviews, but this experience has been really frustrating. I've been wearing a hat because no amount of styling has helped, and now I'm basically waiting for it to grow back. It's unfortunate because I came in hoping to simply clean up my existing style.

Even better, he is patient and takes the time to explain different methods and all of the fun insights behind different hair looks you can achieve. Also he makes recommendations to point you in the right direction, including other stylists at the salon that specialize in certain things. Highly recommend!

I had an appointment here the other day for a perm with one of barbers (Kevin/K-Luk) here who had a…read morerespectful portfolio on his social media. I showed him my reference pictures (loose flowy perm for middle part) and style (wolfcut) that I was hoping to achieve. He said we could achieve something similar to the pictures that I showed. I mentioned that I had processed hair on the back of my head and questioned how to proceed from that. He told me initially the perm wouldn't look right if he didn't my entire head so I agreed to proceed given the possibility that the perm may fry the back of my head. He also mentioned to me that I needed a haircut to which I asked him if I could add it on as I assumed I would be able like most of the other salons/barbers that I have been to before. He told me he couldn't as he was booked. He begins to perm my hair and talks to another colleague and mentions he going to avoid my processed hair. We finish the perm and he washes the solution out of my hair and shows me my hair. It's significantly curlier and different than what I expected. But didn't look too bad because it was still wet. I didn't want to say anything because I hoped once my hair dried, the perm would look less curly as it has in the past and I didn't want to say anything since I waited over a month to book this appointment. I had paid previously and tipped 20% during the booking of it. As I drive home, I noticed my hair looking more and more poofy on the sides--almost like those kids who grow out their hair/surfer hair. Once I get home, my hair is a lot more dry now and I noticed that the sides were all sticking out horizontally like a fish hook. I showed my girlfriend who told me that this was the worst thing she's ever seen. The sides were totally messed up and the back looked horrible. I ended up going to another salon that evening because I was in shock of how bad the perm turned out. I asked the stylist there if there was any way to layer and fix it, to which they informed they couldn't as the perm rods were not placed appropriately for a middle part and said the only way to fix it was it cut off. Given how bad the perm turned out, I opted to cut it off. I mentioned all of this to my barber the next day on his social and he didn't even seem to care. He told me I should've had my hair layered before the perm and that my hair looked weird because he didn't perm the processed hair. As a customer who showed him the reference picture, if he didn't believe he could achieve the results without layering my hair/didn't believe he could achieve it then why go through with at all. I would've skipped the perm or only done a haircut if that's what he believed was achievable from the reference picture. Even from the picture of the back I sent him, he could tell that the perm looked bad but let me walk out of the shop without even trying to fix it. I already paid/tipped beforehand so there's no incentive to fix a bad service because you're just an invoice at this point. The customer service at this places isn't good. If you gave someone a really bad perm/service and don't care about your mistake or don't care to offer ways to assist your client, it just shows you that you're just a dollar sign to them.

Made an appointment a couple of days in advance with Peter. Received confirmation email with…read moredirections to shop right away. On day of appointment I showed up a few minutes early and was greeted in a friendly way by another barber. Then Peter introduced himself and we began the consultation. After a few minutes chatting we decide on the cut and he gets to work. The shop is clean and bright, his tools were top tier and his chair is comfortable (I'm big and tall). The conversation was great and before I know it we're done. It was not a rushed service rather the positive vibes made the time fly. Taper fade was tight, line up was crispy and he scissor-cut the top perfectly. He made sure I was happy with the result and I felt great looking in the mirror. Five stars!
