My son (17) loves Abe! And I call it the Alpaca haircut but it seems all teenage boys love it so I do too ! Thank you Abe !

Always takes their time rather than the other barber shops that zip zip. Great exp for my son and he used to literally fist fight the barbers when getting a haircut. Here he is so relaxed he sleep through it. Appts are hard to get so planning ahead is highly rec. very pleasant staff. Usually lots of parking unless you are there when downtown has an event. read more

Great spot with good vibes. Jae has been my barber for many years. Cuts hair well and is flexible on scheduling.

My barber Jay is always on top of the cuts, he always gets me right and is always patient when I try a new style! He always keeps me looking my best and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a fresh cut! Thanks again Jay! read more

Been getting my haircut from Grant since 2019 and I can never leave Locals because he's the best! I've never had to fix or cut my own hair when I get home. Every cut is consistent and just the way I want it. I like that Grant will give me professional advice on what works for my head and hair type if I don't know what kind of cut to get. He is super knowledgeable about different hair textures and hair products. I usually get a haircut every two weeks, but sometimes, I can wait to get a haircut longer because he cuts my hair in a way that makes it look good even when grown out. The barbers in the shop are welcoming and nice. We have a great time while getting our cuts. All the guys are good, but I highly recommend Grant!!! read more

Locals Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Pleasanton, California

This past weekend I went to the farmers market in down town Pleasanton. While doing so, I saw this barber shop. I looked in and saw the haircut Amanda was giving someone, I thought it looked super fresh... so I went online, found out Amanda's name and booked an appointment for my step son. We were NOT disappointed! The haircut was $40 and took around 45 mins. The service was great. Amanda definitely knows how to cut hair and provide input on how the ensure the haircut suited his hair the best. The last haircut he got was pretty bad and so I know his hair wasn't the easiest slate to work with, but she did her thing! He was so happy! Thank you! read more

I've had several great experiences at locals barbershop with my barber Ivan, he is really friendly and detailed focused. Always offers a beverage and makes sure I get exactly the cut that I want. I've also asked for his style suggestions and he's helped me style my hair better, he goes above and beyond Highly recommend him, and it's a really nice spot to get a haircut. read more

Locals Barbershop - Haircut I got for my wedding day! Never felt better! - Barbers Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Found this little gem in downtown to get my bougie 13 year old's hair cut the way he wants it. That is, a slick fade all the kids at his school will admire the next day. Jae doesn't disappoint. We're repeat customers here. Cool atmosphere and staff as well. Lots of shopping around if you need to drop a family member off and walk around downtown, too. Highly recommend! read more

I get my beard done by Gabe and Amanda and they are the best in the trivalley area . I would strongly recommend locals for haircuts and beard trims . read more

You know you've found the right spot when you feel like a welcomed friend upon entering. I've had an undercut the last 4 years, a little 'louder' in the past year and this afternoon I saved a space with Jae at Locals Barbershop in Downtown Pleasanton. Everything about my visit was right on, the barber closest to the door invited me to take a seat, so I sat in the middle section on a backless couch, and I'm glad I did because I was able to see all the art and memorabilia. The temperature was just right, Jae offered me a sparkling water, I had a seat in his chair and he did his magic. Throughout the cut I felt very comfortable, which doesn't happen all the time as I have had cuts in shops that were more of a Boys' Club. I could feel that Jae had it handled and I was ecstatic with the end result. I will definitely be coming back to Locals Barbershop. Thank you, Jae! read more

Locals Barbershop is a vibe! Every barber in there is talented, friendly and care about the customer and their experience. I get cut with Ivan, shout out to him! He's nice with the clippers and extremely talented. The shop owner Gabe is always making sure everyone is having a good experience. Oh and the swag they sell is legit, stop in, get a fresh cut, buy a sweatshirt and a hat!! read more

Recently joined Locals after having to leave another east bay barbershop conglomerate for their lack of attention to detail and customer service. Locals was the opposite. Although I choose to get passed around between two different barbers (due to my scheduling), I've seen and experienced how the barbers here all focus on producing quality cuts. The shop is clean, spacious, and judgment free. My only wishlist items are a warm towel to clean up with after cuts and q-tips. Shout out to Jae and Nathaniel!! read more

I never write reviews... But, I've been getting cuts from Gabe for a few months now and I can say he does top notch work. My hair has never looked this good. Not only are his cuts clean, his attitude and the culture he has instilled in his shop is top tier. I have never gone to a more accepting, positive, friendly, mindful place. I cant stress enough how good it feels to go to a shop that has good humans working it. I know I'm a customer, but it really just feels like seeing a friend every time I get my cut. Gabe recently cut my hair for my wedding. The results speak for themselves - I've attached some photos. Gabe made himself available for that wedding cut on short notice, which was super appreciated since it was for our big day. I can't count the amount of compliments I got for my hair on our wedding day :) read more

So excited Gabe opened up Locals Barbershop in Pleasanton! I've been getting cut by Gabe at his original shop in SF for about 4 years and I was really bummed thinking I'd have to find a new barber after relocating to the East Bay. Thankfully, I won't have to now that he's in the East Bay too! I'm very picky when it comes to selecting a barber and a shop. I usually break down the decision making process into a few key categories: 1) Quality - If I'm not satisfied with the quality I see from barber's pics, I won't even bother setting up an appointment. I have hella cowlicks and my hair is thick, so it takes a while for barbers to get my cut right. Gabe posted a lot of his cuts online, so I could tell he was skilled and dedicated to his craft. I set up an appointment and was really happy with the quality of the cut, and he just keeps getting better! Not only does Gabe hold himself to high standards, he's also very selective of the barbers at his shop so I know they're all legit too. 2) People - It's really important to me that my barber, and the other barbers in the shop are down to earth and chill people. I already know 3 of the barbers at the new shop (Gabe, Grant, and Drew) and all of them are super cool and fun to talk to. This is such a bonus for a shop, because I feel like I'm going to hang out with homies and not going to run an errand. This is definitely intentional. Their brand is all about community and family, and you can actually feel it through their barbers and shop. 3) Environment/Vibe - To me, a barbershop should feel like an extension of you. It should be a place you go to relax, are comfortable being yourself, and can enjoy the experience all while getting a clean cut. Like I mentioned earlier, I think Gabe and his crew absolutely nail this on the people aspect. The shop's physical vibe is still being developed, but it already has a clean/cool feel to it. I know Gabe is carefully considering how he wants to mold the environment for the new shop, and I respect that he's not just tossing up random stuff to be done with it. He's deliberate about the space he wants to create, so I know it's going to be dope. Bottom line - Locals Barbershop in Pleasanton is definitely worth a visit. It has everything I want from a shop, and I'm confident others will love it too. read more

My kids are beyond picky when it comes to hair. After many failed attempts at finding someone to tackle their hair, I stumbled across Amanda and boy talk about a game changer! These two kids of mine, walk into the shop like they own it, jump into Amanda's chair, chop it up with her, and discuss their future hair styles. Amanda has earned not only my kids trust with their hair, but my trust! She is precise, detail oriented, and efficient in everything she does! I am so grateful that every 3 weeks, she chops these kiddos hair and brings smiles to their faces! She has even managed to get me to take a step back from micromanaging their hair and give them a little more freedom! She works with them now & that to me is amazing! Thank you Amanda! You're truly the best! read more

Full disclosure, Gabe is family. However, he is truly the best at this barbershop style. My husband is the pickiest man in the world when it comes to his hair. He's is straight Uncle Jesse and won't let anyone, even me, touch his hair (like literally put my hands on it). He told me at age 47, this is the best haircut of his life. From my perspective he looks so cute and handsome. Gabe and his team have really cornered this style in the market and I highly recommend Locals! read more

Locals Barbershop - New fade. Who dis? - Barbers Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Yo the vibes here are immaculate. Not only did I get a great cut, after searching for many months for a barber since moving back to the bay but, I want to mention something else. You can tell all the artists there like to be there, and they seemingly like each other, which can be tricky in a small working space. They also are all genuinely invested in the lives of their repeat clients beyond asking about plans for the weekend. The environment alone would make me comfy getting cut by anyone here. With that being said, I got a cut from Jae and I am delighted. I told him I had been struggling to describe what I want, and he never made me feel stupid, never condescending, he asked questions, made cuts, periodically checked in, and was so kind the whole time. As a femme bodied person in a barbershop, this was a super affirming and enjoyable experience. Even the way he said if it didn't work out with him, he hoped I'd go to a coworker melted my heart. Anyways 10/10, I'd hang out with these people. read more

This shop is an experience you will want to add to your hair care routine. I came in to get my hair cut a couple of times with Jae and he did such a great job each time! The barbers all greeted me with friendly hellos and smiles upon entry and Jae transformed my overgrown bed head into an attractive, manageable do that I feel much more confident with. The decor is very cool and vintage, making you feel like you're in your papa's dude cave and that combined with the chill vibe and ease of Jae's convo was all worth the visit. Definitely coming back! read more

Go check out Amanda! My wife and brother have been getting her cut since Amanda began cutting hair.

Needed to get a haircut and was in the Pleasanton area. Did a quick search and found Locals Barbershop. Parking was super easy, and the shop is in downtown Pleasanton.

She cut my hair to what I requested, and it was a blast talking with her. I would highly recommend booking your next appointment with Naomie if you are in the Pleasanton area and need a haircut. read more

5++++ stars. Brought my 4 year old for a haircut with Gabe. And to be honest when we first arrived I thought we'd be leaving without a haircut. My son has never been a fan of haircuts and it's always been a huge fight. After weeks of pep talks and bribery we convinced him to go. It took him a while to warm up but Gabe was so amazing with him. So patient. He did have to pull out all the stops, candy, iPad, toys... but it worked. I am so impressed. Our boy left there super excited yelling "I love the barber shop!" The vibe in the shop is great too. Everyone was cheering him on. Such a great experience. You're the man, Gabe! read more

Locals Barbershop - J's awesome haircut! - Barbers Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Man let me tell you right now! Grant got Bars like it's an understatement. I have NEVER and I mean never had a cut as cold as he just did. Me and my son both got cut by him today and no other cuts in our life's compare! Trust me when I say the wait is worth it! What was great about grant was me and my sons hair types are fairly different, but he was able to provide absolute cold lining and fading for both types of hair. Grant in of himself is such a cool dude, easy to talk to and totally down to earth! Grant has two repeat customers for sure here on out! To show how much I trusted his work! Before he even cut my hair I had already re-booked! read more

Took my older son (age 6) here on Wednesday and had such an awesome experience. The place is so cool and the people that work there are so friendly and welcoming. I've been taking my boys for the past 2 years to Livermore barbershop and we loved it there, they felt like family and we'd spend hours there just chilling and drinking while my two sons and husband all got their haircuts. I get my hair done at 77 salon in Pleasanton and I noticed this new barbershop but being the loyal customer that I am never thought to walk in or have my boys come here, I figured why if we've been happy going to Livermore and they love Vic, but recently my mom mentioned wanting to pay for the kids cuts and being closer to home so I walked in on Tuesday and grabbed their card and made an appointment. Just when I thought there wasn't a cooler place then Livermore Barber shop I walked into Locals and totally my vibe, it's so chill and such a cool atmosphere that right off the bat I was like " this place is dope" even my boys loved it (ages 5 and 6). They provided us with amazing customer service and my older son's haircut was so well done and it came out better then I could imagine, I had an idea of how I wanted it done, basically his same comb over / pompadour inspired cut, Nathaniel actually surprised me and my son's cut was better then I could've hoped for. He took his time and made sure it came out amazing, they have awesome hair products and give great tutorials on how to apply and style on his hair. I'm hooked and I can't wait for my younger son to get his haircut tomorrow. I would 100% recommend totally worth the cost. read more

Came up on the barbershop driving through downtown Pleasanton. They have a good location so it caught my eye. Booking an appointment was kinda hard limited availability and now I know why... finally booked with Gabe. Needless to say I already booked my follow up. Fantastic cut, super kind & great conversation. Gabe catered to my exact expectations. The other barbers seem pretty dope too. Also one of the only places in the area that has Kevin Murphy hair products, great brand highly recommend them- not sponsored aha! Thanks dude much love. Will be back soon. read more

Definitely one of the best barbershop around! Very clean, with a nice mixture of being modern but still has an old school barbershop feeling to it.

Just moved to the area, and found this place because of a little sign they had posted on the corner of Main St. I normally don't leave reviews, but this place deserves one!

Check this place and Gianna out, you will not be disappointed. read more
