Ima keep it 100 BEST barber shop in the city! Fred took care of me and blessed me up Can't wait to go back!

I'll begin by saying I haven't had a cut from a barber since 2007, as I have been maintaining my grooming since then. I began cutting my own hair in the mid 90's. I'm no pro by any stretch, but I'm much better than decent. With that said, I'm preparing to get married and want my hair to be perfect. So I searched for shops near Spring Valley and found Fred' shop. I walked in on a whim on Thursday morning, and there was only 1 person ahead of me. The shop, the service, the vibe, the conversation... it all felt nostalgic! I instantly remembered how much MORE you get from a barbershop than simply a haircut. Fred and I discussed a wide range of topics, AND I got the cut I needed. This is definitely the type of shop and service you'd expect from a classic barbershop. I'll be back in a few weeks! read more

If you want to get the best cut in San Diego, go to NZs barber shop. I've been to most barber shops in the are and nothing compares. Many years of experience, customer service and hospitality. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your customers. Bravo Zulu! read more

Great barbers are hard to find. Great ones are equal parts entertainer, therapist, artist and tradesman--Fred definitely belongs in that category. I've come here on two separate weekends--the first time to get my two year old son's first haircut. My kid screamed for the entire time but Fred was patient and still managed to give him a great looking cut. As a white dude, I'll admit I was a little intimidated the first time I came in the shop--the majority of the barbers' clientele is definitely black/hispanic but DON'T let that dissuade you: Fred can hook up a nice taper and trim. He took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and then did a phenomenal job re-shaping and tightening up my hair. Highest recommendation! read more

As a female I hate to sit in a barbershop full of raunchy men talking about females in a manner I find offensive ESPECIALLY when there are children present. At almost every other barbershop I feel like my time was disrespected while barbers talked and chatted and even ate prolonging the time it takes... I don't feel like that here. Therefore I recommend this spot if you have a family or spouse with you. It's very clean and well lit, clean decor, comfortable atmosphere. Owner is very nice! read more

Awesome!! Babies first haircut was a success!! Thank you Fred for the wonderful experience. Little man is looking good!

Fred always comes through with a nice cut. I've been going to Fred for close to 10 years now. Definitely recommend Fred's services.

I am new to SanDiego and needed a haircut, I am picky about who cuts my hair. So I got on Yelp and came across Nz's after reading the reviews I decided to go for a cut. When I arrived Fred (owner) was on his way to lunch, but was super cool and opened back up just to give me a cut, his level of customer service is as good as it gets. His work is just as great I definitely left a happy customer with a great fade. If you're looking for a great barber Fred is your guy. Thanks again Fred, will definitely be back for more cuts. read more

I loved my haircut. Such cool, welcoming people, and they used a Straight Razor, which feels awesome and gives a cleaner looking cut.

Fred did an amazing job on my drop fade! Cleanest haircut I've ever had, Would recommend and definitely coming back! read more

Came here when they first opened up here in Casa de Oro. My barber was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. He joked with me and his personality really came out during the cut. He was also reasonable with the price. The location it's in is kinda low key, but we loved our experience here. read more

Walked in on a Friday morning without an appointment. Said hello. No answer. One guy in a chair getting a cut from the lone barber. A guy walked out from the back out the front door, at least he acknowledged me. Customer finished, walks out, I look up and barber is one his phone. I give him a few and tell him I am ready. He said he has an appointment, I said I don't take long. He insists on waiting for appointment. Never mentioned if he could slide me in after. I walk out. I can't give zero stars, otherwise I would. Shame on yelp. read more

Tight lineup and a great fade! This is my main barber now! Cool dude and friendly environment.

Great barbershop. I went in a was greeted by Fred the owner. He cut my hair exactly how I wanted and it was the first time we met. That's when you know you got a good barber. Got a fsde and he lined up my beard too and it only cost $20. Can't beat that. read more

NZ's Barbershop is the best! Fred is always professional and just a cool down-to-earth guy overall. Oh yeah and I like that fact that he's willing to work with you regarding scheduling. I took my son here for two years and his haircuts were always on point (some barbers get too comfortable and start slacking but not Fred). Definitely will be hitting him up when we're in San Diego. read more

Fred is great. Toom me from long hair to no hair. He did fantastic. I am woman and he made me feel so comfortable and made me feel beautiful. read more

Came in recently for a fade and the homie Fred hooked it up. I just recently started growing my hair out and needed a cut badly. Big Fred knew exactly what to do, it's as if he was letting me know what I wanted. Well I hadn't been in a barber shop in about 25 years since I used to shave my head then had in in a close buzz. My hair is just getting to the point where I can start to comb it over but he gave me a shadow fade with side burn line-up. Well, I felt FTD. And all for only $15. Maybe a bit much, maybe not. But when you find a good barber, you stick with him and scrimp elsewhere. I know I will be back. read more

Great and friendly service. Service is given timely and haircut is fresh. Place is clean and kid friendly. Very happy with the result. Will come back. read more

This barbershop is the only one that I'll be going to for now on. Their business hrs are extremely convenient. & I couldn't have asked for a better barber. When you go ask for KAMAR he's the reason I'll be coming back. He's extremely talented, makes sure you get exactly what you asked for, & friendly. I'm telling you bruh, there is no better feeling than going into a barbershop and leaving with your hair exactly how you wanted it. Definitely a great first experience. Once again thanks Kamar. read more

Came to Nz's barbershop to get a cut from Fred because I was referred to him by a friend, usually it's nerve racking changing barbers and we all know why but I can say Fred gave me a clean cut and I've been going to him ever since. The place stays clean and cool and the conversation is always funny. Thanks for keeping me fly Fred read more

Courteous, professional, skilled! I really like this establishment!! We've taken our sons on three separate occasions and they always do a great job. They take walk-ins and there is never a long wait!! It's a friendly environment with great music. You will feel at home in this shop. read more

Finally I found a barbershop that can do my sons hair right! He has curly mixed-race hair. I have had numerous bad experiences at other places I have tried recently. Fred knew exactly what I meant and had lots of common hairstyle pictures on the wall to show he understood what was being asked, which was helpful. These guys know their craft. My search is over! We will definitely become regulars. read more

Took my son for his 1st day of school haircut. Very patient since my son wanted to watch TV and had trouble not moving. He was more patient then I would be. My son will look good for school so everything is good. read more

All i have to say is that I am very glad Fred finally opened up his own place. I have followed him everywhere he has cut, care and maintained my style. I never have to worry about my hair when fred is in care of it. He always ask me what I want and I always say that you are the professional do what you do best and I am never disappointed. His new shop is clean and everyone is welcome. I highly recommend Fred for anything that has to do with your hair read more

Fred is the man. I've seen him cut several small children's hair while waiting my turn and his skill is impeccable. No squirming, nothing. And I always leave his chair looking and feeling like a new man. The shop is very clean and family friendly this is the only shop I know I can bring anyone to. read more
