I brought my boys here yesterday to get a haircut. We didn't make an appointment but luckily the…read morewait was only 20 minutes.

The owner Jenny & Lynne (former lady from across the street) had decided to not follow appointment rules & decide to take any walk-in's & left the peeps for over 30 min wait time. I still like Sandy, but their service & lack of manners should not be Alamedian behaviour. Stay the hell away from the store, especially they do not know how to run a business and customers with wait time. Sad but don't mind to take my money elsewhere

All barbers are experts in their trade. This is my boyfriend's second visit to OAKBarber Studios…read more However this review experience is with owner and master stylist, Justin. My boyfriend, Bill, called in 30 mins before for a same-day appointment and luckily landed Justin. He hooked up Bill with a close face shave, and a high fade haircut. Justin suggested a side part and showed some sample portfolio photos. Bill agreed and the outcome was impeccable. Haircut: At Bill's mature age, he is at a time where he is less floof, and more grumps. But Justin was able to find the perfect balanced look for him with the high fade and side part. Interior: aesthetic man cave vibes, light R&B tunes playing, beautiful Oakland attributed graffiti wall art, and comfortable waiting area Exterior: quiet neighborhood, ample parking, clear barber signage, and community grocers next door. Overall, Bill and I give this location a 5-star rating and will be back during New Years for a new look from any of the OAKBarbers!

When other places have raised their prices, they have slowly gone up with inflation but kept prices reasonable. Service has always been great, they make sure to prioritize your appointment (sometimes a gentle reminder helps) and when things aren't busy walk-ins are welcome. It's a great place for a cut and reminds me of the haircut places in so-cal!

Over the years, I've watched her grow from renting a chair in different salons to accomplishing the amazing milestone of owning her own space. It's been so inspiring to see her success. Jessie is incredibly sweet, selfless, and one of the most personable people you'll ever meet. I'll admit I once made the mistake of going somewhere else, and quickly learned my lesson-- no one compares to her work or the experience she provides. Going blonde isn't a quick process, but Jessie always checks in throughout the appointment to make sure you're comfortable. She truly cares about the health of your hair and is always continuing her education to stay up to date with the best techniques. She also recommends high-quality products to help you maintain your hair between visits. I constantly get compliments on my hair, and it's all thanks to Jessie's talent. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about their clients and takes pride in their craft, leave it into the hands of Jessie!!

Their pricing is very reasonable, especially for the quality of cut and experience. I booked a specialty cut with Jaryd but it seems like the entire crew are very skilled and super chill. Their location is pretty convenient and I had no trouble with street parking nearby. The shop itself is small with wood floors and paneling which gives it a warm and intimate vibe. The conversation between the crew and customers feels like a friends and family hangout. I got to know Jaryd pretty well and really enjoyed our chat. As for the cut itself, I couldn't be happier. I was looking for a transformation and Jaryd delivered! I have significant recession in my hairline which makes my hair tricky to work with and I'm not generally thrilled with my haircuts, so I put this one off for years and came in with hair past my shoulders. I told Jaryd I was looking for a textured fringe which was no problem for him. He shaped my beard as well which really added to the overall look. I've included some before and after photos for reference. I was thrilled with the result and I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great cut in an intimate shop with a very pleasant crew!
