Macho is a magician with the sheers. Very nice and easy going guy, good vibes and ambiance in the shop and in the lobby. Soft couches to chill on with tv and snacks (water, some candy). Macho and Mikey both do a great job. They'll listen to you and give you a haircut you love. Highly recommend. read more

Wow wow wow. Hats off to Macho and Roots (aka Mike and Mike). Loved my experience here. Their location is unmistakably unique and memorable - a shopping container inside of a warehouse. The space is spacious and airy. Outstanding vibes and immaculate conversationalist. Time will fly as they expertly cut your hair. You'll leave loving the way you look and feeling great. Bring cash and make an appointment! Easy parking in the reserved spaces or the street. Cheers gentlemen. read more

Just wow. I've been going to Macho for a few months now and his hair cuts are top notch. He is always on time and the haircut takes about 30 mins and is quality. I ask for a comb over with a fade and hard part and it is clean every time. He uses a razor to do the line up and haircuts are relatively affordable. Also super friendly and will talk with you about anything. Parking is super easy as well. Recommend to everyone! Make an appt before going. He takes card now as well! read more

Macho is the man! My haircuts are always dialed. If you're looking to get a good haircut, come here!

Top notch barbershop with great vibe. Also, love looking around at all the beautiful bikes.

Dont look anywhere else! Just book your appointment! Best barbershop in San Diego! Macho is very keen to detail and very friendly. 10/10 overall experience and vibe, will be coming to this place for my maintenance cut from now on. read more

I followed Macho and Mikey to El Rey, then to here, and sometimes I even follow them back to their respective houses. Restraining orders aside, I love these guys and they are some of the best in the business. Honest, hardworking and they take pride in giving meticulous haircuts and shaves. read more

Where do I start?.... I don't remember how I met Mike (a.k.a. Macho), but I think it was back when he was cutting hair at Two Roses Tattoo Barber and Coffee shop in Barrio Logan (where Border X Brewery is at now), then I followed him to his house during transition times, next down to Good Times in Imperial Beach, then to El Rey Tattoo and Barbershop (where I met Mikey Roots), then to an undisclosed location... FYI at this undisclosed location I would be waiting next to "5-0" and Hood dudes while they came to get their hair cuts... know what I'm saying? ... Cops and Crooks waiting together for a haircut!!!! How you might ask?!.... because my man is a god damn Pirate!!!! And now, I followed him to this location. This location is honestly the most badass spot, again why??? Because Mike built it with his own hands! How many barbers do you know built anything themselves?! I mean the dude turned a cargo container into a legit shop with seating, flooring and it's all within a building. It's a SPEAKEASY Spot no doubt!! For the longest time it felt like it was "open to private", but now it's officially - as it has always been: open to the public! While you're there waiting for your cut you can: see how coffee gets roasted, have a cup of coffee, watch a motorcycle get maintenance, and check out the diverse selection of comic books, car, Teen Angel, Art, Photography, Playboy, and Lowrider magazines all while listening to some good ass tunes! What more can I say about Mike that people already don't know.... Mike is well known in the San Diego Barber and Tattoo communities, an all-round good person, humble, loyal, craftsmen, military veteran (USMC), and a great damn BARBER. My point is: Mike has cut my hair ever since I came to San Diego and will continue to cut my hair for the foreseeable future, and he'll cut my sons hair too! Stop getting your cuts at other chain garbage spots and go now to the app and make your appointment as soon as you can because both Macho and Mikey Roots get booked fast! read more

Happened to meet Macho while on an uber ride and i went in to get a cut. Super chill vibe at the shop and fantastic cut. Love the online reservation system. Great music! If you need a barber this is the spot . Macho and Mikey are both great barbers and seem like good guys. I couldn't ask for a better cut than these guys provide! 100 stars! read more

What can I say that the San Diego subreddit hasn't already said? Just want to feed the positive algorithm for my boys Macho & Roots. They're the best in the biz and, if you love yourself or just want to feel better about how you look, this is the joint. Appointments & cash only but hey, it's worth it. And so are you. read more

Best place to get your haircut super friendly and the ambiance it's like you are in a different place read more

My fiancé got his first hair cut by Macho today and he couldn't be happier. Great conversation, great environment and a better than great haircut. It's a unique and awesome set up. He looks forward to going back. I think it's safe to say he's found his go-to local barber shop. read more

Two words: the homie. Always satisfied with the haircut and the space is very comfortable. He is a truly affable man and also has some SICK playlists. read more

Great barbers and especially great people. I've been going to Mikey and Macho for a couple of years now and always love their work. It's easy to set up appointments with them through Resurva. Their shop is isolated from the rest of the indoor warehouse and really well designed while being clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend getting a cut from them. read more
