Knucklehead at one point was good. "Was good," I've been going to get my haircut little over a year most of the time I'll get the hair cut I want sometimes I'll get something a little off, no big deal it'll grow back. But recently it's just been off, few of the barbers that actually knew how to cut hair flat out left and decided to go work else where. I like the affordable price but the quality isn't what it use to be. read more

My son needed a haircut badly... he was hesitant because he's had the same stylist for years, but since he's visiting & moving east, he needed to find someone locally. He found knucklehead's amongst a couple others but decided on here after reading the reviews for all. I think he was very happy w/ his choice. Angel was his stylist & I could tell they were enjoying their conversation... tho it could just be my son loves to chat ;) but I could tell that Angel was very good at what she does, all attention to detail. I wonder if she does girl's hair?? read more

See all

Great service and nice barbers, you should ask for Brittany York (like New York) she is nice and a very good barber she is good with a straight blade, and really nice to talk to read more

I love this place been going here since it opened in 2012. Sara is the only one that's ever cut my hair there and that I trust so much that when I moved to Alaska for a year I shaved my head instead of letting someone else touch my hair Awesome environment good prices I'd give it more stars if I could read more

Carissa is my new barber. The shop has a chill atmosphere. Perfectly fit for an Oceanside barber shop ! Quality not quantity unlike most barbers in Oside read more

Knuckleheads Barber Shop - Best cut in a long time !! Carissa is a beast - Barbers Near Me - Oceanside, California

Cruising by around 6am. These fools were open. Hell yeah! Looking good with the fresh fade Monday morning. They can cut some hair. Razor fade or with a norelco. Definitely recommend. read more

Dalia used to work at this place and now i see why she ended up leaving. The rest of the barbers are horrible and slow if you aren't there on a Sunday and will let others who didn't get a ticket go ahead of you even if you've been sitting there for over an hour...with only 4 people in front you. Dalia made this place and as soon as she left this place went to crap. read more

I had a long day and so I was happy I made it in time for the last haircut of the night; it wasn't busy/no wait, thankfully. I specifically asked for a fohawk. I explicitly described in great detail and showed the stylist which areas I wanted trimmed/cut, she agreed/acknowledged my request. She started off on the right track, with me coaching her on cutting higher and shorter, etc. She continued to cut my hair and cut the top. I asked her not to cut the top of my hair. She showed me my haircut in the mirror. It was uneven and incomplete. I asked her to spike my hair and clean/trim up a few areas, she didn't fulfill my simple request. She gave numerous excuses as to why she was unable to fix, cut, and style my hair as I requested. My hair is uneven and I will require another haircut by a professional that can truly cut hair. Additionally, she overcharged me. I questioned the price and she proceeded with yet another excuse. I have been frequenting this shop off/on for awhile and I haven't had any issues or discrepancies with price/cost until tonight. I will not return for an overpriced, overcharged or over-cut haircut. read more

Best barber shop in all of Oceanside. Can't go wrong with any of the barbers but my personnel recommendation is Shannon and Sarah. read more

Knuckleheads Barber Shop - Best barber shop in Oceanside!! - Barbers Near Me - Oceanside, California

Still good quality haircuts even through an epidemic!! They got seating set up outside and chairs as well

If you're in the market for a new barber, look no further. This place is awesome, I saw Rosie she took her time and walked me through my options as I was unsure of what "style" i was looking for. Wow i feel like a new person thank you, ill be returning. read more

This is a nice place on the scale of "Oceanside" barber shops. Plenty of leather seating area, friendly atmosphere, a few Flat Screen TVs to view your sporting interests, and overall clean presentation. The barbers are comfortably chatty and will often double check to make sure they're snipping your desired hair style. The procedure is a step up from the usual, as they use a straight razor to shape your hair line and also include complimentary shampooing once finished. That being said, I felt a bit confused after the barber had finished styling my hair and then walked me over for the shampoo service - which eliminated the product she had styled it with. Following the wash, I was handed the product and told to style it myself while the barber turned to help the next customer. Um, okay. Also, I felt a tad disappointed when my charge came out to be $17 for what was originally intended to be a "clean up" cut. This isn't too pricey by any means, but from reading several other reviews before heading over to the shop, I was expecting somewhat less. Otherwise, this was a cool find with talented barbers and decent pricing. I'll probably come back. read more

I live an hour away and come in to town every week to hang out. I used to go to Studcuts where Sarah and Gabby used to cut my hair and after hearing through the grapevine where they relocated, I decided to give Knuckleheads a try. This place is the best place to get a haircut. It's clean, modern, great customer service with quality cuts at reasonable prices, plus it has, IMO, two of the best barbers in Oceanside in Sarah and Gabby. Spread the word. read more

This place really takes care of me when it comes time for that weekly haircut. They got the fade down to a science, I've yet to be disappointed. The prices are reasonable, and good luck on Sundays cuz you're gonna be waiting. Cash only, but they got an atm right inside. read more

I had read all these five Star reviews and thought id Give the place a try. I avoided the holiday rush and came with my 3 year old son on Wednesday. It was empty, there was a gentleman with headphones and a blonde chick who greated us. I asked for a fohawk and a low fade. As soon as she started cutting his hair I thought what is she doing she started just shaving off hair on both sides with a one.. NO FADE NOT A FOHAWK! I asked and she says "oh fohawk, I thought you said Mohawk" no no I didn't. I just wanted her to fix it as best she could. I should have left! My son has been getting his hair cut since he was one and never has he been cut or hurt by a barber. She nicked his ear to where dropped of blood were just dripping into his neck! Never again will I take my child to this place or will I recommend it to any of my Marines. She knew she didnt give me the haircut I asked for was unapologetic and the cut besides that was horrible and uneven. read more

The ONLY place to get a cut in Oceanside. If you aren't getting your haircut here, you are missing out. The atmosphere is fun and easy going. The barbers are amazing. Gabby has been cutting my hair for years and anytime someone else cuts my hair, it's just not the same. Even if there is a line, this place is worth the wait. read more

New place with a salon look but with your laid back atmosphere. TV's everywhere, free wifi, you can't go wrong. Sara has been cutting my hair for 14 years and never misses a beat. She makes you feel welcomed and takes care of all her customers. read more

Clean Barber shop with comfortable feel. Well done painting, cabinetry, and work stations. Haircut went great. Breezy and cool with nice skylight. Clippers, scissors, razor detail shave, shampoo, and aftershave. Great service and nice clean cut; not a military cut....which their probably used to, a lot. Civilian cuts are hard to find in Oceanside and been to 3 other shops, I'm stoked. I'll be back. Charged $16 and worth it topped with a $4 tip. Men don't go to salons,meh! Always tip your Barber.... Thanks Knuckleheads. read more

Got my head shave here wasn't impressed at all! There customer service was horrible & the lady shaving my head was just gossiping with her coworker the whole time she was shaving me. Way to overpriced for this kinda of service.....! read more

Best barber in town. Had been to several others in oceanside looking for a razor fade and a wash afterwards. This place blows them all away. They use fresh blades to shave your head for a straight razor fade, unlike many other places who tend to drag a dull rock across your scalp. Also have use of styling products and aftershave following your wash and rinse. I will continue to be a weekly customer. Ask for Sarah, the owner, and you'll get a great haircut every time. read more

This was my first paid haircut in about 6 years so I kinda forgot how they work. Eddie did the cut quick and friendly. He spent an awful lot of time on a head of hair that didn't really care, but I appreciated it when he handed me the mirror to check out the work. Best of all, haircut prices don't seem to be affected by inflation. read more

I came to this place on the recommendation of a couple of my friends. Big mistake. I sat with a nice lady for my cut, nothing special just a medium fade with their famous straight razor work. The whole haircut I was told how the lady had been cutting hair for almost 16 years and how much she loves doing it. Well by the time it was over I looked like I had been in a bad fight with a cat. She followed it up by saying "I knicked you a bit" understatement of the year...she literally took a couple chunks out of my forehead and left three straight razor cuts on the back of my neck. It's pretty bad and just before my trip to Vegas. Thanks a lot knuckleheads. Will never go here again... read more

Had my first haircut here Monday, shannon did an amazing job! First time I don't feel weird with a fresh cut! This place was welcoming quick and friendly. Telling all my friends! read more

This is by far the best place I have ever had my haircut. Angel is AWESOME!!! To me seems like how I would imagine getting my haircut at a full service barber shop back in the 50's. Talk about coming out of the place feeling like a "Dapper Dan". Angel's attention to detail and perfection is amazing. The straight edge razor lines, the hair wash and intense scalp and neck massage make this haircut an experience that I have never had EVER! I came out here from Chula Vista afraid to find someone new and was driving 45 minutes just to get a decent hair cut. I took a chance and found Angel at Knuckleheads. Let me save you some time, get your arse in Angel's chair!!!!!! You will walk out feeling so fresh, so clean. Do it son! read more

Shannon is an absolute pro! I followed Shannon from her previous barber shop because she is just that good. While I'm nervous about trusting my haircut to anyone else, I've noticed the other barbers at Knucklehead's seem very skilled. I've seen them handle much more than your typical military haircut as they do a great job with longer hairstyles. Shannon and her colleagues take the time to get your haircut exactly how you want it. Everyone is super friendly at Knucklehead's. I've never waited more than 10 minutes on a Sunday rush but most days you can walk right into a chair. There's plenty of TV's and WiFi to keep you occupied although Shannon and the barbershop banter between the ladies are all the entertainment I need. read more

Shannon gave me a great haircut, having never seen me before and just walking in, because of the yelp reviews. $15. Extremely pleased. Thanks. read more

My go to spot every weekend to get my hair cut. This place is awesome, Gabby and Sarah are the best barbers/owner here. Definitely recommended to get your haircut here. read more

Reviews for this place are right on! Sara was meticulous with my haircut, checking in to make sure that the length was what I wanted. Best looking short haircut I've ever had. Thanks read more

Legit spot! Only spot my husband goes for a haircut(base straight does a chop job)!! I also take my sons here! They are fast An do a good job. Prices are good as well. read more

Absolutely awesome experience. I'm tempted to give a low review just so Angel doesn't get booked out completely and I don't have to wait months for a hair cut! I went here for a hair cut and hot shave and it was an amazing experience. Price was incredible, result was phenomenal. I felt total taken care of. I won't go anywhere else or to anyone else for now on. read more

Best barbershop in Oceanside. I am very picky about who cuts my hair. My girl Angel is hands down one of the best barbers that I have ever had. Her attention to detail is just insane. Get Angel as your barber and you will not regret it. She usually works Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but Sunday is usually super busy. Go between 9-2 to get an amazing cut from her. Another awesome thing about the shop is that a rinse is a part of your cut. read more

I've been meaning to write a review about this barbershop for almost a month now. I'm in oceanside about once a month. During our last trip my wife wanted to take some family photos on the beach with our 1 yr old. Typically I use my own clippers at home to clean up but since I was on a quick mini vacation, my clipper were at home back in Vegas. I'm writing this review from the view point of wife's hair salon which we've owed for 10 years now. We are not hair dresses just landlords who rent stations to hair stylist but providing great service is the top of our list for all our renters or they get the boot. From the minute I walked into this barbershop, i was greeted and welcomed by staff. I've never been to a barbershop so it's going to be hard to compare my experience to other potential experiences in the future but for now I'll be returning to this place when I'm back in oceanside. Other than the amazing service from the moment I walked into this place, the attention to detail was impeccable. Diane was my barber and as impatient as I can be, she ensured I was looking the best I can be for my family photos. Before walking out, she noticed an area she could clean up a bit more and asked if I can sit back down so she could clean it up before I left the shop. Keep in mind that I had already paid and she could of let me walk out the shop but she didn't. I appreciate businesses who care more about the customer than just getting paid and that's why I am writing this review for them today. I highly recommend this place if you live in the area or you're just visiting. read more

My son and I needed a haircut this morning and stumbled upon Knucklehead's Barbershop. My barber Chris/Kris was the bomb. She was thorough, personable, super nice and gave me a great cut. My son had a great cut too. I was impressed with the overall experience of the shop. Nice decor, clean and a wash included in the haircut price afterwords so you leave feeling fresh. For $15 I'd say this place is a steal. Make sure to ask for Chris she's great! Great place for a haircut. read more

i love this spot for my hair cuts. it gets crazy packed but they move quickly and that may sound like a rush job but i haven't had a bad haircut yet. I've sat in three or four different chairs and they all where friendly and knew exactly what i wanted when i explained. i think i had Tracy, Sara, and Gabby. and another i forget her name. its hard to pick one to see regularly. good place for haircut! read more

Best barbershop you'll find in the area. Sara is my favorite but I like all the barbers there. Any of them will give you a great haircut.

After seeing such great reviews, I decided to try and make an appointment for my husband. I called and apparently was cutting out, but that did not seem to stop the lady from talking to someone else. When I tried calling again, I asked if I could make an appointment and she rudely replied "no" with such attitude. I was not really done with asking further questions, but with an attitude already to a simple question why would I want to stay on the phone. read more

Really friendly staff, good waiting music, really comfy couches for waiting. My husband got his hair cut here, we were in and out pretty quickly and they did a really good job :) definitely coming back. Great prices. read more

Looks a bit rundown from the outside but inside has recently been updated. All of the stations are tidy and staff is very casual and friendly. Big screen and and Maxims laying around lend to the manly man vibe!! Perfect for my husband and teenage son who has long since outgrown Supercuts and wants nothing to do with my girlie salon! read more

First time in a while to have someone else cut my hair. Service was fantastic and they did a great job cutting my hair. Free shampoo and straight razor the back of my neck. Will come back. read more

If you are knew and town and need a fresh haircut especially if you're coming back from over seas come here and they will hook you up. KC is my favorite barber. Ask for her if it's your first time. read more
