I have to give a huge shout out to Nick at G Circle Barbershop…read more My baby brother has been going to Nick for a long time even before Nick joined this shop, and that says everything. Nick is literally the only person he trusts with his hair now. Watching that level of trust between a barber and a client is nice. Nick doesn't just give a good haircut, he gives a sense of comfort and confidence. What I love most is the dynamic they have. When my brother sits in Nick's chair, he seems less shy. they talk, joke around, and my brother genuinely feels seen. I used to stay for the whole appointment just to hang out, but now I actually step away and let them have their time. I meet him afterward because I know my brother is in good hands, not just with the haircut, but in the environment. It makes me happy to see my brother connect and feel at home there. Nick isn't just talented he's consistent, professional, and creates a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. That's why he has loyal clients, and that's why my brother will always go back. Highly recommend. If you're looking for someone who listens, remembers you, and truly cares about the result go see Nick Cantu.

He pays close attention to the details, listens to exactly what I want, and somehow makes it look even better than I imagined. His fades are clean, his line-ups are sharp, and he takes his time to make sure everything looks perfect without ever making the cut feel long. On top of that, he's genuinely friendly and creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere--never rushed, always professional. If you're looking for a barber who really knows his craft and cares about giving you the best cut possible, Cantu is your guy. Highly recommend!

He cuts with scissors and shears too, and he actually understands different hair types. He's done it all and seen it all. A barber like him is rare these days, almost a lost art. He's been studying hair for 30+ years, and it shows. You don't find many barbers who can do real custom cuts instead of cookie cutter work like a basic fade or taper. Frank knows his shit. Thanks for the cut.

He looked at the sample photos I had and we talked about what I wanted before and during the haircut.

Tired of bad cuts?! Go to Nas. Nas, the owner of Supreme Blends embodies what a perfect barber experience should be like. From the first time I met him he was warm and charismatic like the bourbon he'll offer you, and truly makes an effort not only to understand the exact cut you want, but you as a person. I have very thick hair that likes to stand up below 2 inches, and Nas takes extra care and precaution to ensure I have the best possible chance of pulling off whatever photo I show him off of Pinterest. I can honestly say out of every haircut experience I've received over the years, Nas is easily #1 and as long as I live in Oakland I'll be going back to that chair.

That kind of care and energy means a lot, especially in spaces that don't always feel inclusive. She's professional, talented, consistent, and truly cares about the people who sit in her chair. As a longtime Black woman stylist, she deserves to be protected, celebrated, and supported. The community is better because of people like her. If you're looking for someone who will not only get you right but make you feel seen and respected while doing it, I highly recommend her.
