I've been going to Dora for my cuts, and she never misses. Every time I sit in her chair, I know I'm leaving with a clean, sharp look. Her attention to detail, precision, and consistency are unmatched. Dora takes her time to make sure everything is perfect and always makes you feel comfortable while you're there. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and her clients. The atmosphere is always on point, and the experience is just as good as the haircut. If you're looking for a barber who's reliable, talented, and truly dedicated to her craft, Dora is the one. Highly recommend! read more

Fabulous!! They are able to give my balding father a decent haircut. And a great beard trim.

Brenda is meticulous and gives great cuts. I've tried barbershops in MV, RWC, others in Los Altos and am happiest with the cuts I get here. I read some of the bad reviews here and while I agree there are inconveniences, those are all the same inconveniences I experienced at other barbershops + not as good haircuts. It's why I came back and made LABS my go-to. The automated phone appointment maker is also pretty dope. Life is hectic during business hours but I can call when they're closed and still make appointments. read more

Read reviews and liked what I read about Nancy - head barber. Dropped by and had a chat about my bad haircut several weeks ago. We agreed to meet and let her make some major improvements. I'm very pleased with her skills and hope I can relax and enjoy a good haircut for a change! read more

Best barbershop in the Bay! Nancy runs an upbeat, welcoming shop where she and the team consistently deliver clean fades and crisp straight-razor shaves. I've been going to Brenda for almost three years -- she's a true artist with the shears and makes you feel like family the moment you sit in her chair. Pro tip: plan ahead... this is not a walk-in spot. Seats go fast for a reason! read more

"B" always gets my fade, beard and line up looking right. I live in Hayward and travel to get cut - it's worth it. Price $45 for a haircut. Always make sure to stop here before every special occasion. read more

Nancy did a fantastic job. My kid was super happy. We had an appointment in advance. It is not cheap but it was worth it

Went in for a beard trim. Nancy did a quality job, and took care in her work. The problem was that it was exactly what I asked her not to do. I specifically said I didn't want to lower my cheek line because my cheeks grow in patchy. I showed two photos of what I wanted. She asked if I wanted to make them even, because one was slightly lower. "Okay, let's make them even but I don't want to lower the cheek lines." When I put my glasses back on, my cheeks were completely shaved. I figured I would roll with it, maybe try a new look, but I'm just annoyed every time I look in the mirror. It's going to take me 2 months to grow those back in. Also, it's not indicated anywhere in advance that they only take cash. Paid $3 to use their ATM, and was lucky I brought my cards to the appointment. This really should be clear on the website, not on a tiny sign on the door. read more

this place and the proprietors are probably too cool for Los Altos, but Nancy gives a great haircut. My long-time hair stylist moved from a location by my office to San Jose (closer to her home). I was desperate to find someone new. I knew this location was really was more of a barber shop than a salon historically, but I walked by. I was kind of surprised I couldn't get in right away, but made an appointment for the next day. On par with my more expensive stylist at ~60% of the price. I think I found my new regular spot! read more

Great place to get a haircut in the area and a bunch of us in the family go there. They can handle interesting requests (my son just got a mohawk today) and execute them well. The only interesting pro/con I can mention is that they take their time to get the haircut right. This can mean more time than they might have allocated you and can cut (no pun intended) into the next appointment by a few minutes. Been on both sides of it and I have to say that it is the right tradeoff to make and I really appreciate them not rushing through things. read more

Nancy is the best! We were so glad to find her a few years back when she started her shop in the Rancho shopping center. I am style challenged, but I know that Nancy will make my hair look great even if I can't specify the details. read more

Nancy is the best. She cuts my 10 years old twin boys hair and it always perfect. She makes sure to listen to what they want and she never rushes. Really appreciate and she very friendly. We always come back. read more

Nancy and Brenda have a great thing going in Los Altos! Great barbershop for modern men's hairstyles, beards and beyond. I typically don't use barbers for my wavy hair as they typically cut my wave out. With Nancy she kept my wave but removed the bulk and I'm very satisfied. They have complete sevices for beards, shaves, mustaches etc and while mainly for men, they also cut bangs etc for women. They are very eager to listen about what you want, ideas or pictures of styles you have in mind and are very easy to talk with. read more

Out of the way but well worth it. Nancy did a wonderful job on me. Gave me a trim and helped with my Mohawk. Shen then tackled my beard. She shortened it and added her touches to give it a change. Well done Nancy. When I'm in town I will always come to see you!!!! Art read more

I don't really want to make this place famous because it's usually so easy to get a great haircut here but then definitely deserve a great review. Betty gives a great haircut everytime and their prices are very reasonable unlike other spots in the bay that charge $50 not including tip for a fade. read more

Made an appointment with Betty, I was on time for my appointment but her last client was late. So I waited, but she didn't seem to want to rush or apologize. Just leave me sitting there... I left. Bad customer service. read more

The barber and stylist Nancy Pacheco is fantastic. My nephew is disabled. Nancy was patient, kind and listened to the needs of my nephew. She did a wonderful job washing his hair, cutting his hair, and shaving his mustache and beard, finishing with a hot towel wrap. I can not say enough about her skills as a barber and as a gracious person. Many blessings to you Nancy read more

I always bring my son to Nancy and she has given him his best style ! He has a neat fade with scissors clean top and great lines.. he loves going to the shop , the service is excellent and always leave happy . read more

I got a haircut and had my beard trimmed by Nancy. I am extremely pleased with the result, and I will now go to Los Altos Barber Shop whenever I need a haircut. read more

We have been coming here for YEARS and love this place so much. Both Nancy and Brenda are the best. My 2 sons and my husband come here all the time. When we moved to Campbell, we tried a few other places but they just were not nearly as good Brenda and Nancy. So we go back up to Los Altos for all of our haircuts! They are always so kind and accommodating of our crazy schedules. Thank you!!! read more

Love these great ladies. Nancy, Brenda, and Betty are all sweet and great barbers. Hope they're here forever because they are the best.

PROs - quality cut (tight lines and fade) - great price - clean - COVID guidelines CONs - tough to find in the plaza - not open Sundays Been to 6 different shops looking for a consistent barbershop in the Palo Alto-MV-Sunnyvale-Cupertino area. I can rest easy now that I've finally found it! Shop is tucked away in the plaza off of Foothill Expressway, but it's well worth it. Had a haircut with the boss lady, Nancy, after calling in for an appointment yesterday. Steady hand, great lines, for an even better price. She and George made for a great first experience. Will definitely be returning! read more

Nancy and her crew can cut anyone's hair, from 2 year olds to hipster millennials to old dudes (like me!) I've seen all types in there and they are always welcoming and polite. I once saw Nancy cut a toddlers hair in the visitors chair just because he seemed more chill there. So they most def go with flow here. And check around, $20 is a good price for a haircut anymore! read more

I know, I already wrote a review, but I had to provide an update. Nancy is just an absolute magician with cutting hair! I just got done with my second haircut with Nancy, and I ain't goin' anywhere else! I didn't get the shave this time 'round, but even at that, she's awesome! Men, if you live in the area, consider Los Altos Barber Shop as a little hidden gem in the community. You will not be disappointed! read more

I just moved back to the Bay Area, and I'm pretty picky when it comes to my hair and getting the right fade. Therefore, I've been looking for a good local barber shop near me and by far Los Altos Barber Shop is the best! Nancy and Brenda are both very friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to hair. The place is clean and a very friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk-in. They're also pretty flexible when it comes to setting you up for an appointment and/or walk-ins. They also give you a free beer during your haircut to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. I highly recommend this place and look forward to my next haircut! read more

Switched barbers right before the pandemic started. Can highly recommend. Quality haircut, Location has lots of parking and a Starbucks.

This barber shop is a hidden gem and Nancy's craft speaks for itself. Originally got a taper but later changed my mind to a fade, which turned out nice. Price is very reasonable for the amount of attention and detail she puts in.Give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

The old barbershop here was terrible. However, this new shop is awesome. Who knew a change of owners could breathe such vitality into this tiny nook of a business!? My barber was thoughtfully and precise. I communicated what I wanted and she accomplished just that. My fade was on point, beard perfectly cleaned up, and I left with a smile. For all of that glorious hair craftsmanship, I was only charged $25! This barbershop is local, has an authentic feel, and is run by people who are truly dedicated to their work. Finally, I'm excited to go to the barber again! read more

Visiting San Jose for a quick trip and my son wanted a modern haircut. Brought him to this cute spot. Apparently under new ownership. Did not wait to long and was able to get a nice clean cut for my son who is 15 and super picky when it comes to his hair. Brenda the barber knew exactly what to do. Took her time and made sure my son was satisfied with the cut. Will definitely come again when I am in town. read more

Been coming here for some time now and NEVER fails. Brenda and Nancy are the coolest, kindest barbers I've ever came across. Brenda listens to what you want and does a great job at giving what you asked for, to the point I don't even tell her what I want anymore I just let her do her thing and come out everyday feeling handsome af. Highly recommend this barber shop. read more

Cool hidden shop I never knew was there. Brenda gave me a awesome fade and trim. I've always got a hat on, so I haven't combed my hair in months. She hooked me with no idea how my hair lays. Great cut! Wish they offered shaves and shampoos. read more

Nancy at Los Altos Barber Shop is the greatest! With a thinning hairline it could take 5 minutes but Nancy is very skilled, thorough and concerned for a great end result....and, she is enjoyable to talk with! I am happy the pandemic is over so I can go to Nancy and get a great haircut!!! read more

Super amazing! I liked how it turned out but I also liked the location super barber shop vibe!

Excellent haircut from Brenda. She's super thorough and did a great job for my fade and the beard. Highly recommend !

I switched barbers, for my boys, right before the pandemic started. Great service and attention. Both my smaller boy and my teen boy - each with very different hair types (wavy vs straight, thin vs thick, 1 cow lick swirly vs 2) - have had really great cuts each time. Nancy is very experienced and great all around, especially with small children. Brenda is cool/hip and I would recommend her if you to want to try out something new and different. They have wi-fi and a TV tuned to sports. The tilted mirrors allow patrons to see how their cut is progressing. Prices are super reasonable and less expensive than the salons on Main St, Los Altos, so I always give a generous tip. They recommend calling for an appointment (for their busier evening and weekends), but we've always managed to get seen without waiting weeks on end. The shop is a hidden gem in the Rancho Los Altos shopping center. They're situated behind Wild Berry Yogurt and Starbucks and next to Therapy Salon. read more
