    Two weeks after haircut and I still have razor burn
    Caleb S.

    Haircut was bad. Really bad. The barber did not listen to a word I was saying and basically gave me some haircut I specifically didn't ask for. On top of that I was in the chair getting my haircut for well over an hour and twenty minutes. He smashed my ears down for over half the time and that was pretty uncomfortable. At a certain point I just asked to leave. Honestly I can't remember being more unhappy with a haircut. All that said, service is great. Everyone is really nice. The space is really cool and comfortable. Prices are reasonable. But the haircut is hell. I highly advise staying away. I found out my barber (Scott) was pretty recently out of barber school so I imagine this place hires younger, less experienced guys, which helps keep the prices down but the haircuts can be hit or miss. Scott was really nice but I think he has a lot more training to do before he does this for a living.

    Aaron did amazing with my son's hair. It was a last minute call in so we walked in blindly. My son and I have differences on haircuts but Aaron found the perfect balance. Great attention to detail!!

    I'm so glad I started going to here for my cuts! The shop is so nice. The environment is clean and comfortable. I've been to a few barber shops and not felt welcomed before and that's definitely not the case here. The vibe is fun yet professional. I see Rene for my cuts and he nails it every time! I appreciate his consistency with the amazing quality of my cuts. I would recommend Rene and the shop in general to anyone looking for a new barber. (Be sure to ask for the shave/massage machine, it's so relaxing)

    Fantastic haircut! The barber is a true artist with the scissors. Highly recommend for a top-notch experience! Thanks  Abisai!

    Haircut by Frank the barber

    Matte blvck might just be the best barbershop in San Diego. All the barbers are really friendly and you feel like your catching up with old friends every time you go in. I hate going to barbershops where you don't feel welcome and are intimidating and this place is just the opposite of that. Plus they offer you a FREE drink every time you walk in! I started seeing Frank The Barber and I got to say he is top notch! I personally use to cut hair myself and I only trust frank when it comes to cutting my own hair. On average his haircuts only take 40 minutes and I've never had anybody better then him. If your looking for a true master at the fade and someone who your gonna look forward to seeing every haircut, you need to check out my guy FRANK!

    I've been going to Rene F. for a minute now and he's never let me down! From my experience, he's perfected the fade and combover. On top of that, he's a super friendly and reliable dude. I'm glad he found a home at this beautiful new shop. PS the warm towel and straight razor treatment is the cherry on top!

    This spot brings the positive energy and fresh cuts every time. Frank the barber always professional and understands your needs. Cool, social and family friendly barbershop - highly recommend. The appointments are convenient and barbers are punctual, also they fit in walk-ins as needed. Also some good coffee and bars in the North Park area to check out Call or follow on instagram for reservations (the best option and availability)

I had a great experience at Vince's Barbershop. Boris took care of me and gave me a medium fade, and the haircut came out excellent. The customer service was on point, the shop was clean, well kept, and had a great vibe. I also appreciated that they offered refreshments, which is a nice touch and makes the whole experience feel elevated. Most importantly, the haircut itself was really well done, clean, sharp, and exactly what I was looking for. Pricing was fair and reasonable, especially for the quality of work and service. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend this spot if you're looking for a solid cut and a professional, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely coming back here when I come back to San Diego.

My haircut also came with a shampooing which was a nice bonus and I really left the shop feeling great with my new haircut. I'm just visiting town but if I lived here I would for sure be coming back. The barbers were all really nice and friendly. The vibe is chill and they have some complementary drinks while you wait. I wish I had this in my home town.

I needed a haircut today and they welcome walk ins and so I waited. Wait was about 45 minutes and I got seated. I blame myself for letting him continue cutting when I could feel he was going too short already. But he saw me walking in and I told him I wanted a trim of 1.5 inches all around. My hair was cut MCUH shorter, almost like someone who has straight hair. He didn't understand that the way I walked in was the way I wanted to walk out, enough length to curl my entire head. What I was left with was .5 around the sides and less than an inch on the top. I can't style my hair at all. I'm genuinely concerned at how he let me stand up from that chair, again, seeing how I walked in and just asking for a trim and cleanup. I ask for the same thing at every barber shop and I've never looked this bad. I hate to leave this review but I want to put the warning to anyone with curly hair, not to go here. My total was around $75 because I'm not rude and I still tip. Included is before and afters of my hair ):

I told my parents if the place is open let's go in after the game. We went in bc ALL doors and signs were still open and signaling to come in. One stylist (pink hair) was washing someone's hair (heavy set middle age women), later to find out she was an employee. I asked to buy bear oil for my dad. The lady with the pink hair didn't know the correct price and I overheard her ask the employee who was getting her hair washed the price. Once the employee was done getting her hair washed she was obnoxiously rude & told us the establishment was closes at 7pm; it was two min after closing time, but I replied to her all doors were open and signs were out. Her tone of voice and demeanor was aggressive and didn't seem she wanted to serve us as customers. I left the product on the counter and ordered it on Amazon, which was much cheaper. Do better and tell employees not to do hair until the establishment is closed meaning all doors and signs are put away. Shop appeared to be clean, but customer service was hostile and aggressive.
