I have not been to a barber shop in 50 years. I haven't had a head of hair since the 80's when mullets were cool, LOL!!! I saw a sign for a skateboard shop and wanted to pick up a shirt for my grandson who lives in Virginia, little did I know that this awesome barber shop was a skate shop also!! I headed in and was greeted right away by a very friendly guy who asked how he could help me , I said I was looking for a shave and a shop shirt , I got hooked up with Juan . Juan stuck his hand out to give me a hand shake and I knew I liked him already . Remember, I have never been to a real barber shop. The vibe of the shop was very welcoming and Juan sat me down and I let him know I would like a shave from the shoulders up . Juan started off by using an electric razor to cut the length down, it was pretty short to begin with. Then it was hot shaving cream and a straight razor. I like to chit chat but for this I wasn't moving around. Juan is a true professional he explained what he was doing and why he was doing it , " it's tradition, a lost art" he said , a hot towel felt good after that ! Then another specialized electric razor, then after shave and another hot towel, I'm sure I left out some of the steps , but when I go back and I will go back I'll do another review. When we were done Juan stuck out his hand and gave me another hand shake , I bought a shirt and couldn't stop thinking about what I had been missing for 50 years . Don't wait ! Head on over and check out this friendly group of folks , highly recommended read more

Needed a haircut before noon one day. Saw a big ass "Walk-In's Welcome" painted on the window. Cool. Parked my car, went inside and saw that there were no customers. Asked for a haircut, and the dude tells me he's doing appointments only and refused to give me a haircut. Lame. read more

Courtney is the best. She cuts my son's wild curly hair and does a great job. She is friendly and can get my teenage boy to talk. Every cut has been awesome. read more

Remix cut my grandsons hair. The best haircut he has ever had. We tried a few other barbers, but Nanos is the cleanest, most welcoming, and professional. It's also a skateboard shop which was really cool. I felt welcome. Remix asked lots of questions to make sure that everything my grandson wanted was done. read more

Vibe, quality, and service was amazing! My son loved his haircut. We will definitely be back.

Giving this place two stars because the vibe was awesome, it was super clean and the people there were very cool, BUT I did have a problem with the haircut that I received. I usually rarely ever get haircuts just because I'm extremely insecure about my hair and how thin it is, so I usually keep it pretty long so it gives off the appearance of being thick. For about a year my friend has been trying to convince me to get a haircut and i finally caved and started doing some research on barber shops in Bakersfield and looking for haircuts that I thought would work well with my hair type and hairline. I ended up coming across this shop and was honestly really excited to try a new hairstyle that would work well with my hair, and hopefully find a good barbershop that could do a good. I went in, showed the lady what I was looking for and a alternative option (If she didn't think that my type of hair would look good with that style of haircut) and I specifically asked her , "Could you do this haircut with my type of hair." And she replied, "yes definitely." I was super excited to hear this because this is something that I've been wanting to do for months, and I was honestly getting tired of all the comments about my long hair from my coworker and friends. I think the first red flag for me was the fact that she never once during the entire process had me facing the mirror while I get my haircut. She had me facing the front desk, and I unfortunately I just went along with it because I trusted her thinking she knew what she was doing. For future context, During the middle of the haircut I pointed out that I wanted my hair to still be around eyebrow level so I had some wiggle room to style my hair and she agreed and said that she would do that. Come to find out everything that we had discussed had been begrudgingly thrown to the side and she just decided to do whatever she wanted to my hair and not even once asked me any questions about my hair during the process. ( Like, " hey is this a good length on the sides", "does this look good in the front", etc.) Not once in my life have I encountered someone not even caring about what I THE CUSTOMER THINK WHEN YOU ARE CHOPPING OFF AL MY HAIR WITH NO REGARD OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ( Not even at a great clips.) Once she finished I saw my hair and was immediately frustrated and confused, but I honestly couldn't care enough to make a seen so I payed and tipped the lady well because she was honestly very nice and a pretty cool person. But she absolutely destroyed my confidence in my hair and I'm not going to lie I was absolutely crushed when she turned me around to see the mirror and see my self like that, and I'm honestly really disappointed with the lack of communication during my hair cutting process. I really don't see myself ever going here again and I would advise anyone else who's wanting to get a hair cut who has long hair from ever getting the hair cut here. Because from what it seems they have no clue as to what they are doing and will do whatever the hell they see fit. read more

Awesome place to go! Took my 4 year old and Jamie did an amazing job! Love supporting local! Prices were great! Couldn't ask for better!

If I was to create the coolest barbershop/ skate shop in my head it would be this place. I was blown away of the great skateboard collections they had for sale. The music the vibe the decor every little detail in this place made me smile! I wish I could give this place a higher rating! All the staff were so cool and friendly! Will be coming back here! read more
