This was the first time I've gotten my hair cut shorter since the pandemic. I scheduled my…read moreappointment with June & showed him some pictures that approximated the style I wanted. He knew exactly what I was going for and I ended up with a cut *exactly* as I wanted. It was a drastic change from having long hair for the past 6 years, but having it turn out so well made me feel so much better. There's nothing quite like getting a haircut that when you see it in the mirror for the first time, you immediately think "yup, that's exactly it". June did an amazing job and I'll definitely be back. The vibe is very laid back, the place is super clean and spacious, and the barbers are highly skilled. I absolutely recommend it.

Upon walk in, I immediately noticed how friendly and welcoming the barbers were; I came in with my 3 kids after booking an apt a few days prior. Jeffry did a phenomenal job with my son's hair, accommodated all of his requests, and even inquired about his soccer career. Photo included for reference. This shop is clean and professional, while waiting I looked at several other barbers work it was very precise/custom to each client. Pricing is comparable to other shops. Highly recommend. They do get busy, so make sure to book head.

They were playing Latin hip-hop music, really loud - my chair was right next to the speaker, and I couldn't hear my barber without her yelling in my ear. The rest of the staff were having a great time, and there was a tequila table set up - maybe I missed that it was holiday pre-party? My haircut was fine - I don't ask for much, just a buzz, but she did me a bit better than that. Not sure if I'll be back - I'll certainly check the volume first.

Haircut for my son and I on Sunday afternoon…read more Price- $30 for adult male; $25 for child (but on Sunday afternoon that price does not apply. apparently, it's $30 for a child on sundays though there's no price/sign saying such) CASH ONLY- didn't know that until i went to the one in encinitas and sat there for a few minutes watching people going to the atm in the shop. The barber was excellent and meticulous with both our haircuts. My wife thought my son's haircut was the best he's had yet. I loved my haircut as well. You are greeted with a friendly welcome when you enter. Wait can vary, but we were lucky and only had to wait ~20 min. Didn't know how the beer situation works. Wanted one but didn't know if I was suppose to wait to be offered one or ask for one or what. Prices are going up in April, according to the sign in the front of the shop. I'll definitely go back again.

I've been getting my haircut by Drew before he even moved to this location. After having traveled…read moreall over the USA for the last few years for work, I had to use at least 60 different barbers and can honestly say Drew has always been the more detailed with his work out of anybody else. If I lived in SoCal I'd be a regular again like I was years ago but now I'm always on the move. One thing I've noticed about Drew as compared to other barbers, is he always cares about the details, the little things. Other barbers want to rush it, and don't do basic stuff that I assumed all barbers did just because I was accustomed to Drew's meticulousness any time I got my haircut from him. I can honestly say Drew is responsible in some way for me dating so many SoCal baddies because he had my haircut looking fresh so I had the confidence to shoot my shot at girls out of my league! Also, Drew is a chill barber, one you actually can chat with. Some barbers I've experienced are either dead silent and not friendly, or they talk wayyy too much, but chatting with Drew was always good vibes. Quality work, cleanliness, cool vibes are the 3 main things I want in a barber and Drew checks all 3 boxes. James is his coowner is also good people. I've never gotten cut by him but I've seen his work and he's legit too. These guys, Drew and James were coming into my family's restaurant back in the day when I was in my early 20's and they always tipped well, were respectful and good vibes so you know they're good people too. Two solid guys running a great barbershop. I highly recommend.

Erik (stationed in the back) worked so well with my son that has autism. Generally Spencer hates haircuts because he's very sensitive to the sounds of the clippers and also the hair really irritates him. But I spoke to Erik and let him know Spence is on the Autism Spectrum and he was extremely patient and kind, he worked well with him and I really appreciate his excellent service & quality work. It was nice to be in the back room because it was quieter and less stimulating (Spencer has a hard time with an over stimulating environment) so it all worked out perfectly. Erik mentioned that he has several clients with autism and you can tell he's got the experience, he has a very calm & patient demeanour and that makes the world of difference for clients on the spectrum. Thanks again, Jodi Will definitely be a repeat customer and book with Erik again, we had a great experience with quality cuts. The wait time was less than 5 minutes as a walk in and every chair was full. Everyone was very courteous and kind to us and we really appreciate that level of service.
