Always friendly and great fast haircut! Appointments work best - call before dropping by. read more

I have been a customer there for many years. Today I went in and ask Steve to make me look good. Tomorrow is my wife's funeral. It was difficult to just say the words. Steve took his time cut my hair, eyebrows, trimmed my nose hair. trimmed my beard. He would stop and look at me and trim so more. He did a $100 job on me. His bill was a hug that I needed. I consider him a friend. At this time you need all the friends you can get. He has always given me a good hair cut. Thank You for caring. read more

Can't believe this place is still open. The one time I went in to get a cut there were full of barbers but everyone was too scared to cut my hair. All of them looked around at each other and they all took turns to make excuses. A couple of them just flat out said no. I left but decided to call back and talk to the manager but he was a fake bully and threatened to fight me for telling them what happened. Pathetic. read more

Brian at Krown Barber has the best customer service and haircut skills in the San Jose area. If you like a relaxing environment and stellar haircuts I strongly recommend giving Krown a try. read more

This is the best barbershop in town! Brian stayed way past closing to fix my fade from another shop. He is meticulous and takes his time to give you the perfect cut. He's the man. Highly recommend! read more

Ev is outstanding! And the team is always welcoming and accommodating! Don't chose another barber - this is the place to be for a perfect cut! read more

This place is going out of business. I walk in on a Saturday to get a hair cut and they told me they are too short staffed to take in any walk-in's. read more

I lived in San Jose for almost 15 years, and found Krown about 10 years ago. Not only do they do a great job (my hair is pretty easy to cut...which makes sometimes for a quick 'hack' job at other places....but not Krown), they are absolutely the nicest and most decent guys you'll ever want to encounter. They treated me like family, remembered where I worked, and to a fault, were always in good spirits and genuinely happy. Most of my visits were with Danny (and others...), he is great. Heck, the whole place is great. I've since moved to Florida and hope to find somewhere similar here - but when I'm back in San Jose - I'll be back. Thanks guys for many years of great service. read more

This review is overdue. Krown is a neighborhood gem! Super friendly and talented barbers and a really clear shop. Bring my son here to see Danny and he does an awesome job every time. They are extremely accommodating and can usually accommodate an appointment within a few days if not that same day. $25 for a kids cut, $30 for a mens cut and they only take cash. The parking lot can get a bit crazy due to the breakfast spot a few doors down, so get here a few minutes early. read more

Known barber shop is great. Steve used to cut my hair in a past life, when I actually had hair to cut. I recently rediscovered crown and have been going in to have my beard trimmed and lined up. Really like the spot, the vibe, and the staff. Highly recommend this establishment read more

Every time I have gone to krown barbershop we have felt very welcomed and greeted politely and respectfully. We went in today for a haircut and they were having client appreciation day, tamales, chicken, rice, beans and drinks. I would definitely recommend this barber shop to my friends and family. read more

Excellent Barber shop; quality haircuts. Vibe is nice; Steve is great for my senior hair. I especially appreciate the attention to detail and the finished look. Plan ahead to get an appointment, you should plan at least 4-5 days ahead, especially if you are looking at trying to get a Saturday appointment. read more

I have been cutting (shaving, more or less...) my own hairs for years... and because of my mind and body getting old - 40's are coming in few months! - I'm getting tired of my bold head and I am starting to look for something more trendy, in an old school style, like a comb over cut. In order to achieve this tremendously huge project, I have to first let my hairs grow...yeah... To make it short: I want to grow my hairs to shape something fun but still keep a clean cut! I found this place through yelp, it's a true old school barber shop, with very friendly and competent staff. It's not the cheapest barber in town but they do a perfect job, give good advices and recommendations. I walked in and waited for about only 5 minutes before being seated. They take appointments as well. Highly recommended! read more

I am not from the area, visiting my In-laws and we needed a trim. Never even got a chance to get in. You need an appointment. We were denied, even though their Yelp page says "Walk-Ins" welcome. I called before coming, "bruh!!" Could have told me to make an appointment. He did think to mention "cash only". Terrible phone skills. We got there and same dude "welcomed" me any my two sons. Basically told us S.O.L. Placed looked clean. Would have been nice. But terrible first impression. Never gonna give this place a second chance. read more

THE best barber shop in town. My husband first stumbled upon this shop when we moved nearby almost ten years ago. Shortly after, my son started getting his hair cut there too. Now many of our friends and family frequent here also. We moved out of San Jose three years ago and STILL make the almost 20 mile trek! Junior, their regular barber, is very meticulous about his craft. He as well as the other guys are definitely busier than when we first started coming there but the cut is worth it. This is NOT your $8 cut nor your local Super Cuts. These guys will take their time and do it right. Many of the barbers take appointments and I highly advise that you do so. No frills, no fuss, just a real, down to earth barbershop. Sad we're so far away but happy to make the drive to keep my boys looking dressy. read more

This family run and owned barber shop is a hidden gem. It's filled with talented barbers, good conversation, and very reasonable prices. I've been coming here for years and I am never disappointed. Everybody I see leaves with a clean cut and a smile. You're definitely going to want to make an appointment because they book up fast! Shout out to Junior for always keeping me looking fresh and clean. read more

Old school atmosphere. Barbers are all friendly easy to work with professionals who do a great job. Both my son and I go here to get our hair cut. You need to make a reservation for convenience but it's always worth it. read more

When you walk into this barber shop, you get that neighborhood family feel. Maybe that's because, literally, the owner has his 2 sons working right alongside him. Great atmosphere, awesome posters, clean, and a perfect place to escape, relax, and shoot the sh*t with all the guys. They talk about everything from movies to current events to the best food spots around the area. They have a few other barbers (not blood family) who have worked there long enough that they seem like a unit. They close for a bit at lunch during the week, but they take appointments so no issues with availability. Jacob is my main man. Clean fade, straight hard line, crisp edging, and picture-perfect tapers EVERY TIME. He always takes just the right amount off the top too. I'm never nervous to go to him the day before a big event because he has never messed up. Consistency is what keeps me coming back. I think I've found my last barber shop. read more

Steve did an awesome job with my 3-year-old son!! Hands down we will definitely be returning. No more children's hair salons again. We came in with a botched haircut from the children's salon and thank goodness Steve was able to salvage it. Every piece of hair was cut to perfection, no strand was left long and my son wasn't even itchy when we left the barbershop. I appreciated how gentle Steve was with my son and the fact that he wiped the hair out of his face every so often (as you can tell, we didn't get that kind of treatment at the other spot). If your young child is able to sit still, I suggest coming to Krown. read more

i just tried booking an appointment Overr the phone. I've never been here before. Dude on the phone asked me who do I want the appointment with. I told him I've never been so whoever would get me to come back over and over. Dude response with "In that case we are booked" ... Weird. I was trying to put money in their pockets this morning but off that rude phone call I'll go find another barber shop in SJ. read more

I used to get 10$ haircuts and a little beauty salon nearby. Then one day a couple co workers mentioned that my hair cut is crooked in the back, and they said it always is! Haha! So one of em suggested Krown barber shop. I went there not knowing what to get but the guy that cut it did a pretty good job. Then I went a second time with an idea of what I wanted to get and showed and described to Sonny and he did it perfect!! 3 years later and I'm still going there and using Sonny! 25$ plus tip is extremely worth it to me. Going in there is like going to a buddy's place that are masters at hair cutting! I even had Sonny cut my hair for my wedding. He only does reservations so call and ask for him specifically if you want him, but all the guys do a great job so pick your poison! Haha! read more

I've been coming to this shop for almost 2 years now and have enjoyed every haircut received by Junior. He's very meticulous when cutting my hair and the results show. I go from a 3 to a 10 in under 45 mins. The other barbers are also very welcoming and greet me when I walk in. If you are considering getting a haircut here, I'd recommend calling 3-5 days in advance to book your spot and calling is the only way they take appointments (to my knowledge). Don't forget to tip your barber if you really like your cut! read more

In response to a 1 Star review.... My son has Autism and can be difficult to settle and doesn't always sit still. He's also loud, and very opinionated when he doesn't want to do something. The entire staff at Krown has always been amazing with him. They are patient, tolerant, and very accepting. I know that my son is not the only special needs child that comes in, as I've spoken to our barber about it a few times. To say that it's possible they were being discriminatory is pretty unbelievable IMO. In a world of negativity, it's easy to become jaded, but to attempt to slander a business is not cool. That being said, I will always recommend Krown and will continue to give them our business and refer people to the shop for services. Five stars all the way. read more

Krown Barber Shop - Clean cut on my 2 year old, courtesy of Jacob at Krown - Barbers Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is LONG overdue‼ This is a true barbershop, these guys are OG. Nothing fancy, great price-points and entertaining conversations... I had been looking for a barber for my 13-year-old son, as he was/is getting too old for the kiddy shops. I stopped by KROWN Barber on the fly with a printed image of a style in-hand and no appointment. With that being said, I had no idea what to expect. We scored a seat in JACOB's chair, not realizing it was our LUCKY day‼This guy is SKILLED at what he does and a MASTER at his craft‼ Jacob is the real deal, he can LINE you up, FADE you up, STYLE you up, like "Justin Bieber" (our 1st cut). Funny but true. He takes his time, uses product, blow drys, styles and finishes with more product. Speaking of product, I purchased the "JOHNNY B MODE" they sell...It holds my sons hair all day and the scent is AMAZING (very manly)! I can't comment on the other barbers, but I can say their chairs are always full and the shop is always busy. read more

I made an appointment and I arrived early and they were able to take me in. They renovated the barber shop and the cut was fresh. In addition, they increased the price to 30 dollars and it was worth it. I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I found this place accidentally to get my two sons each a haircut. I was a walk in and I didn't have an appointment but they said they could squeeze one of my sons in. Jacob did an amazing job on one of my sons and shortly after we took my other son to the other haircut shop in the same complex to save time. This was a big mistake. They did a horrible job and it was so bad that my wife and I went back into Krown Barber Shop and asked if there was any other time we could have them fix it. Jacob saw how horrible the haircut was and was able to squeeze us in between clients that same day. He was able to fix it and made my sons hair look fresh again. Here is what won me over. When I asked how much I owed him for the 2nd haircut he said"Don't worry about it, I feel so bad we couldn't get to him in time, It's on me!" Wow, he won us over big time and I now switched barbers as well and all 3 of us will only be seeing Jacob from here on out! I highly recommend Jacob and this Barber shop to anyone! The whole crew is welcoming, polite and professional! read more

They can't cut African American/curly hair here, just a heads up. They're honest about it though so you have to respect it. They let me know once i walked in the door and directed me to another barbershop across the street and even recommended a barber for me so big props to Steve for helping out. read more

Got my haircut from Steve. He did a really good job. Was conversational and I enjoyed it. Really a good guy with good stories to talk about. The haircut turn out great and I was happy. Would definitely come here again read more

New to the area and was looking for a barber shop that could cut my son's ethnic hair. This place is always busy but we could see why! They're all great and friendly and do great cuts!! My son was very happy!!! Definitely will be back! read more

I have been going here for a long time but I recently decided to start bringing my dad here too. My dad is a little older and can't drive so it's part of tradition for me to bring him her for a haircut every month. Steve the owner or Danny have always done great work. Make sure to set up an appointment or you might be out of luck on getting in. Danny is the walk in guy but it can be up to an hour wait at times and they don't have a list so you can't leave and come back. Also make sure you bring cash since they don't take cards or give receipts. For the bay area the price is reasonable. Service here is great but the atmosphere and the culture is why you come back. My dad just enjoys being around the boys. Also the cuts are top notch and they don't try to make you by hair products you don't need. read more

I got a warm welcome from Steve the owner & he gave me a great haircut. It's nice & close to my new home. I like the atmosphere & there was plenty of barbers working- fast paced environment & I can't imagine the wait being too long. I also got some nice advice about places to visit & see considering I'm new to the area. Very friendly, great haircut & location for me. Thanks again & consider me a regular :-) read more

Just moved to San Jose and went looking for a real barber shop, not a beauty salon. After one Google search I found this place, it is only 4 blocks from my house and it had the look of a real barber. This IS a real men's barber shop that knows how to cut men's hair! The atmosphere is friendly and laid back, and the guys super easy to get along with. This is my new favorite barber shop and I will be recommending it to others and I will be back the next time I am in need of a cut. read more

It's too bad I'm forced to write this review because Steve, the guy who is one of the founding members of Krown, used to cut my hair a few years ago when he worked over at Santa Teresa Barber Shop. I like him, he's a GREAT guy, cuts hair well, and is overall good with customers. Unfortunately, the last two times I went to Krown, I left dissapointed, embarrased by the haircut, and have had to go to a different barber to get it fixed or spent a great deal of time trying to style the hair at home to make it look decent enough to go out into public. The last time I went to Krown, I decided to change my style to a ceaser cut. My normal barber at a different barber shop was on vacation and I really needed to get a haircut. So I decided to go to Krown since it's nearby. It was a decision I ended up regretting.. I ended up getting assigned to whoever had an open seat. Before we even started, I explained what I wanted. The guy cutting my hair (not Steve -- I don't remember his name now) gave me an answer that implied he wasn't comfortable doing what I was asking. I then told him that if he didn't think he could do it or if that particular style would not suit my hair texture, then to simply keep the same style and just clean things up. He then changed his mind and thought that it would work. At that point, my gut instict was telling me that I should just get up and walk out, but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all, this was Krown -- the five star rated shop on Yelp! What could possibly go wrong??? What went wrong is the guy totally gave me a f***ed up hair cut! I think he knew he f***ed up too because he said "just go home and experiment with it to see what looks good". Really dude??? Go home and "experiment" with it??? WTF? I didn't come in there for a challenge! I'm supposed to walk in looking like crap and come out looking like a "G"! That's what every guy expects when he walks into a barber shop! Not to come in and get handed an "experimental haircut" to deal with for the next month-and-a half! In the end, I'm probably not ever going back to Krown. I think the reviews on here that give this place 5 stars are either friends of the guys who work there or otherwise have very simple, straightforward cookie-cutter haircut that are assembly-line for the barbers here. Anything outside of the mold throws the guys off. Except for Steve -- that guy is GOOD but he is the only one as far as I can tell the times I have been there. Of course, if you're the gambling type that likes to roll the dice and live on the edge --- then this place is the place for you! But if you're like me and expect to get a decent haircut with someone who knows what they're doing and are comfortable doing it, then you are best advised to look somehwere else! read more

So I used to go to another shop down Blossom Hill Rd that offers all sorts of extra stuff that I really enjoy - hot face towel with tea tree oil, massage chairs, shampoo and conditioning, yadda yadda... only problem is they suck at cutting hair. Krown does not suck at cutting hair. They don't have all of that other cool stuff I like from the other place, but they can do the one thing they're supposed to do, and they do it well. I can't speak for everyone, but Junior is especially diligent and detail-oriented, and I have never left this place with a bad haircut. Reason for -1 star: - The place isn't kept especially clean. All of the tools and all of the floor you'll have to walk on is fine, but you'll see hair stuck in corners and wall-trim crevices and it's not overly pleasant to look at (Then again, some might argue that this is the desired ambiance of the place: a no-frills shop that's good at doing what they do). Or maybe I just happened to see the place at a bad time, who knows. - Recent price increase from $14(?) to $18. If I'm shelling out ~$24 for a haircut, I'd at least want my hair rinsed so that I don't have to go home and take a shower. Perhaps my perception on what a haircut should cost hasn't kept up with inflation... read more
