Lena Barber

I've tried almost every barbershop in Downtown San Jose, and IMO Concept Barbershop is the best…read morespot here. I get a haircut there around every 4-6 weeks, and recommend it to anybody that asks me where to get a haircut in Downtown. Environment Professional, spacious, clean, comfortable. There are two leather couches, a coat hanger, and even a coffee machine there (not instant coffee - real, fresh ground coffee). Service JB is my guy at Concept, and he is not only skilled but he actively maintains me as a client. He documents each cut, familiarized himself with my hair type, and can consistently replicate previous cuts or make adjustments depending on what I'm going for. Usually I just go in with a vague request like "Just a clean up, maybe some shaping on the beard" and he always delivers with something that looks good. I'm satisfied with his work after every appointment.

Get Jac as your barber. Just do it. You'll be glad you did…read more He is super about the details.

The shop is very clean and good-looking, and the rates are pretty well matched to what's reasonable nowadays. When I walked in I was comfortably welcomed for my appointment. Pat is both well educated and well experienced in his trade, and put a great deal of emphasis on the consultation for what I wanted and helping me understand how to style my hair for what I was looking for. I definitely recommend him for a good clean cut, especially if you're looking to understand your hair better for getting what you want.

We made a game plan on how to trim and layer my hair and what I was going for. I LOVE THE RESULTS. It's literally the kind of style I want to effortlessly have but can rarely achieve bc mi hair soy super Asian (kapow!). I'm so glad I did it (finally) and looking forward to enjoying it.

He quickly created a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, which made it easy to trust him even though it was my first time booking with him.

If I could put zero stars I would definitely put zero stars I've been coming to Elena's barbershop for around 6 to 8 years I just got my haircut and I don't know if he was in a rush or if he was urgently seeking to get rid of me in order to meet an appointment he had but whatever the cases This probably one of the worst experiences have had I went with Danny and let me tell you he got sloppy he used to be able to cut hair really well he will take his time he would cut professionally he wouldn't rush but unfortunately I will not be coming back to lena's barbershop ever again my left ear has a small cut to it which is they were actually professional that shouldn't happen in the first place 2nd of all the sides of my head or even faded well I asked for a skin fade and this is not a skin fade my neck has minor cuts Which were caused by the rays he has never screwed up like this I put all my trust in him due to the extensive years that I've been with him but if you want to haircut please don't come here read more

My wife is a hairstylist and has been cutting my hair for the past five years, so you could say…read moreI've been pretty spoiled. Recently, though, I'd been growing my hair out for about a month and she flat-out refused to cut it. Instead, she told me to find a barber. I'm convinced it was a little revenge, since I refused to cut my hair the week before--which also happened to be our 5th anniversary of dating (and 2 years of marriage). We went to a nice restaurant... and I wore a beanie. Not my finest moment. That's how I ended up booking a same-day appointment with Chuy on 12/23/25, grabbing his last slot at 5:45 PM. I work in Cupertino and got off at 5:15 PM, so I knew timing would be tight. I texted Chuy ahead of time to let him know I might be about 15 minutes late and asked if he could still take me. He was super accommodating and moved my appointment to 6:00 PM. Traffic still got me, and I arrived about 3 minutes late, but Chuy was totally cool about it. He listened to exactly what I wanted, took his time, and absolutely delivered. When he was done, I looked like a completely new person. Great experience overall--professional, flexible, and clearly skilled at his craft. Highly recommend Chuy if you're looking for a solid barber who knows what he's doing.
