Hidden gem. Very affordable cut for SF (22 + 5 for a shave). My barber didn't talk my ear off but was still extremely communicative throughout the process, which I really appreciated. I was never worried that too much would be cut off, since she made sure to show exactly how much would be. I left within 20 minutes and was extremely happy with my crew cut. Will be back! read more

I've been here twice before and then again today . I've been satisfied all 3 times . I noticed the last two times I got the Same Stylist . Her name is Su and she did a wonderfull job my last 2 visits . She is my new stylist and I am happy with the price at $14 ! I will go back and recommend this place to anyone who has growing hair :} _________________________________________ I was just looking at my past reviews and reading their other reviews . LOL at the new hater review by Sally H. (H for hater ) . The Su everyone is talking about has not worked there in 5 months due to having a baby so I'm not sure who you are or why you wrote your fake review but good luck to you and your Yelp career ! read more

I remove all my stars because Nice Cuts in the Haight laid off my guy and a bunch of other people. Not cool. Now my hair is a mess. read more

Not just for men--I have long hair with side fringe and Kim gave me a beautiful dry trim for $22. Unbeatable! :-)

I was hesitant to come here based on the reviews, but I was giving it the benefit of the doubt, thinking, "hey, this is in my neighborhood. This could be really convenient." This is the worst haircut that I have ever gotten. I've gotten better haircuts at a $6 Great Clips. I paid $18 for them to butcher my hair. I hadn't gotten a haircut in a while, so my hair was pretty long and growing in ways that it normally didn't. This changed my part and the direction that my hair grew. As someone who cuts hair, you should be able to accommodate this but doing something as simple as wetting my hair. This didn't happen. After lots of buzzing and clipping on the right side, the left side was completely neglected. My hair was left completely lopsided and uneven. Seeing that it had already taken 40 minutes to just do the right side, I didn't want to wait that long for them to fix the left, so I just left and went home and fixed it myself. My plans to find a nice, cheap haircut in my neighborhood utterly backfired. I have a wedding coming up so I hope I have enough time to grow it out and get it fixed elsewhere. read more

Fantastic hair cut and beard trim, great price. Thao is great!!! No waiting, kind gentle thorough service. read more

Nice Cuts - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got a nice cut here. Very happy with it Nice ppl. Nice cut. As advertised. Funny smock read more

Stopped by this place today. Not too bad. Left with exactly what I was looking for, although I had low expectations going in. If you're a dude, looking for something simple, then yes this is your spot. Know what you're getting into with a $15 haircut. This is not the place you get your haircut before your wedding day. So if you're looking for something fancy or technical- stick to the pretentious, overpriced glamour shacks. Looking for standard, quick and cheap..... give this place a shot. read more

Does anyone know where Thao went to? Went to her for past 2 years and very good. But she seems to have gone to another location or shop. UPDATE. SHE IS NEXT DOOR AT ONE UP SALON! read more

Two words.... SUCK & ASS. I know that its a $14 hair cut, but hell I went in to get my hair evened out (my hawk was really long in the back and wanted it the same height that's in the front). She didn't eve do that right. Then she asked about my bangs, and if she wanted her to trim them up. I told her sure (before realized she wasn't doing the job right in the first place) I told her I have a V shaped bang though. SHE THEN SAID: "I don't think I know how to do" But as she said that she was trying to cut them before I could stop her! Ugg.. Save your self $14. You would have better results doing for yourself at home. read more

I was horribly upset after Linda cut my hair here. Yes, I said cut - I specifically asked for a trim. The cut makes me look like Mr. PotatoHead so I would only go here if you like the Marine Corp look. read more

Best men's haircut around Haight or NoPa. Finally...have found a place in SF that knows how to cut men's hair. Simple, stylish cut, beard trim, no rush and I walked right in w/no appt on a late Thurs afternoon. Told her exactly what I wanted, showed a few pics on my phone for inspiration and she delivered. It was only $20 and I gave her a huge tip but well worth it. I've been to JP Kempt (terrible haircut, overrated, over-hyped) and Style-O-Rama (don't even know how to describe that experience) plus a few walk-in places on Geary that were OK but Nice Cuts is by FAR the best. And this is coming from a New Yorker. Can't speak for the ladies, but for a great looking, inexpensive men's haircut you can't go wrong. Highly recommend. read more

Basically the same as Trimmers (same owners) but less filth. Worse haircuts.

GOOD HAIRCUT, FAIR PRICE, PERSONABLE STYLIST What more could you ask for? ... especially in the city (San Francisco) where the same haircut has cost me more than twice the price plus tip, and not as good a cut as at Nice Cuts, either. The shop I went to was on Haight at Ashbury Street. read more

Worst. Haircut. Ever. I was skeptical upon walking in. The older Asian lady (Marlene) sensed it and basically attacked me to sit in the chair. She was totally incompetent and defensive; preoccupied in a dumb conversation with her colleague while fibbing to me that my lop-sided doo (and sideburns) was done and looked great. She didn't even wipe the excess hair off my face. I looked like "IT". read more

I love the Haight, but don't get your hair cut there. I tried at Nice Cuts once. Big mistake.

I'm still scarred from my memory of getting a so-so haircut here in high school, and afterward being coerced into tipping--before I knew that tips were commonplace (although not expressly required) for haircuts. read more

Got a quick haircut from Kimmie who was very sweet and kind. It was what I asked for, no fuss. I'd definitely come back for the next haircut. read more

This place is a gamble. I have been here several times and had some decent cuts and some really bad ones. Yes it's dirt cheap, but in the end I decided it just isn't worth the risk. read more

I randomly walked by this place and decided to get a haircut ($22 for a basic cut, shampoo, and dry). I didn't know what to expect since it was very spontaneous, but I got exactly what I wanted and I was happy with the cut. I also really liked that she didn't put too much product into my hair or style it in weird ways at the end. I'd come back for sure. read more

Sue's been gone for awhile but THAO RULES! Get an appt with her and get a great cut + head massage and a hot towel. For $15? Come on people! Where's the love!? read more

Not the best bedside manner, but also not bad for a 20$ haircut! You won't find the niceties of a typical salon here (the interior could use a serious remodeling effort/deep clean), but if you privilege sufficient, affordable haircuts from independent businesses and can do without the frills, this place could suit your needs. read more

Linda ruined my Halloween costume. I specifically said I wanted an early 90s fade - I'm dressing as MC Hammer - specifying a 2 blade on the sides and a 4 or 5 on top, and she went straight to a f-ing buzz cut. There is absolutely no way to salvage this right now. I am a stickler for detail on my halloween costumes, and I have every aspect of this down to a T. I planned on shaving the lines into the sides of my head on the actual day, but now it's a goddamn buzz cut that won't look anywhere near accurate. She even was talking to me about how Hammer is from Fremont, blah blah, knowing exactly what it should look like, asking if I got the dance moves (I do), and she proceeds to shave it down to a complete freaking buzz. I'm pissed. read more

This place always does an amazing job, no matter what stylist I get. Have been here 3 times already. They actually take time to craft the cut, highly recommended for men's cut. I always get compliments. For people that are afraid of haircuts, I'd say go for it. ;) read more

I came here because I wanted a trim. That's it- simple enough. Instead about 3 inches got taken off & I was given a sloppy new hair cut. My bangs were cut to 2 different lengths. There were longer layers and then really short pieces. I have no idea what happened but I've been wearing my hair back and bangs pushed to the side for over 2 weeks now. This was just a trim I can't imagine asking for an actual hair-cut from this place. I don't know who cut my hair but do know it was a Vietnamese woman. read more

I've been coming for years. Have been to places like aero that charge 4x more and honestly Nice Cuts has been better.

Cheap cut, close to the house, and there was no line or wait. Guy who cut my hair asked how I wanted my cut, and then would take less off so that he'd get it right and always have more room to go as opposed to the other way around -- much appreciated. I don't know why there are so many negative reviews for this place. I have no complaints. Except that I didn't get offered the blade on the neck. But its probably better that I don't get that done in the Haight anyways... read more

Stick with my girl Thao and you'll be fine. Granted I am a guy with short hair so I'm relatively butcherproof, but I have been here enough times to weigh her work against that of the other, older woman (whose name I don't know--she frightens me), and Thao is a fucking hair surgeon in comparison. We chat it up throughout my regular cuts, and though she is a sweetheart her Vietnamese accent is thicker than my hair so I think we only end up understanding about 70% of each other's conversation. She certainly takes her time but gets it right, and gives a nice little neck massage at the end of the haircut, it's great. Thao comes highly recommended by me and you can check my hair in the photos I've posted, it looks amazing. That being said, I fully understand the glut of 1-star reviews for Nice C's when in reference to the older lady, whom I am sure is the cause of almost every one of them. I let her cut my hair once in a pinch when Thao was gone and I would never again trust her with bladed instruments so perilously close to my eyes and jugular. I can tell, through my own experience and by watching other people get massacred, that she has no plan of attack when beginning someone's haircut. She just jumps on your dome and roots around with a pair of scissors until shit starts making sense to her. There are expressions of confusion and uncertainty all over her face yet she will doggedly fight through to the end, your hair being the only obstacle in her path. The results are often tragic; she might as well be trimming you up with a fork and knife. Also, she wears really thick glasses so make of that what you will. I'm just saying. Boo to scary hair assassin who looks like she cuts hair with a hatchet, yay to Thao and the best business name in the biz. read more

I've been going here since 96 when I moved here. Even when I've lived outside the area I've always made the trek. The give good, inexpensive cuts. I have very thin hair and there's not much of it, so I'm an easy in/out. Never much of a wait here either. read more

For $14, you get something simple and functional, but you should make sure your hairdresser speaks good english first. I had a haircut accident (cut a chunk out of the left side by accident) but it was also longer than I wanted... so she did a good job with a number 4 trimmer to even it out, and it worked. read more

The pricing is very reasonable, and the hairdressers friendly. My cut there was very basic and came out fine, but I wouldn't go there for anything complicated. I'd say it is an ok place for a basic trim, but I'd check out somewhere else for anything beyond that. read more

Walked in here on Sunday afternoon and got a good haircut from Linda. I'm totally low maintenance with the hair but I like it long or at least shoulder length and I had an event to attend so I needed a trim asap. I walked about and found this place fairly empty. I walked in and they were friendly and welcoming. It was just Linda and Thao working. Linda trimmed my hair just like I asked and I didn't feel it was too long or too short. Just right. read more

I just had the most outstanding haircut, followed by a deep neck massage. Thank you Loan!

Walked in and got a cut from Harry today. He gave some input and suggestions on my otherwise vague instructions of buzz it all off. I have nice, short hair that looks pretty good. I'd recommend him. read more

Need a quick bang trim? Three of us were in and out today with quick bang trims in less than 30 minutes. And they charged us $10/each. Awesome. read more

This place is cheap, I always wait an extra turn or two so that I can have Thao cut my hair. I'm just always happy with the results, especially for the price. read more

Nice staff, friendly people, easy in and out. Perfect local neighborhood barber shop for guys in the Haight

I work a lot and dont have much time for setting up appointments, although they appreciate it, i have been able to walk right in on my lunch hours and get a quik professional haircut for the price of lunch. Su has cut my hair the last 3 times ive been there, she is my new stylist very fun person. PS. They give you a card with a stamp, i think its 7 stamps and you get a FREE haircut! AWSOME! read more

Unfortunately I did not catch the name of the gal who trimmed me up, but she did a great job & I got exactly what was requested -- I just needed a little bit off of the ends, and my frizzy mop needed to be thinned out a bit. Thank you! read more

Thao is AMAZING!!!! She took her time with cutting my hair just like I wanted it and definitely went above and beyond to get a fade looking right. She's the sweetest thing. Thanks again Thao. I found my go-to spot for a haircut in the city read more
