Phil saved the day for my son. He went to a local haircutting spot near where we live and the lady did not follow the assignment. She over cut and then curled his hair with a curling iron. I'm not sure if the reference photos were not good enough but if you couldn't do the job just say so. Contacted Phil to see if he could help and he squeezed him into his schedule the next day. I would definitely take my son to him again. I just gotta say be aware of the jokester in the shop lol read more

See all

Phil gave me the worst haircut of my life! He didn't understand the haircut I wanted at all after I gave my details. The fade sucked and he wasn't detailed at all. The back of my head was the worst, he went way too high while I'm trying to grow my hair out and it wasn't even faded . Literally worst haircut ever! Not going back at all. I rather cut my own hair! read more

Carl is the best barber ever. Go to him and he will hook up. And everybody in the shop is good too. Phil, Eddie and seuma are good too.

Had the worst job done by Carl. Had to go somewhere else and make it look good. Definitely not what I expected from a place that is SUPPOSED to be a good place... read more

Thanks for the cut Eddie. Good quality and price. It was chill and easy going. Great vibes.

Eddy is the man. My son came in and he was so patient with him. I definitely recommend his services

Great service - Phil and co. do an amazing job with making sure my hair not only looks good but feels good too. The barbershop has a great culture as well - highly recommend to anyone in the Bay. read more

C'mon! What can you say about the AMAZING Phil that hasn't already been said? I'm going through my 3rd bout of chemo (4 strokes and cancer 3 times) which effects your skin and scalp in different ways. Everyone doesn't lose "all" of their hair yet, it does change the texture, length, etc. Honey, there are too many dope wigs and custom hair units for me to cry about that. Yet, I do care about the hair I do have on my head and when I explained it to Phil, so did he! He thought it was really great how well I took care of my hair despite all that was going on in my life and encouraged me that I was beautiful with or without my lovely thick locks. Phil and I have NEVER crossed paths in the City before but when I walked into the shop the funeral for his cousin, whom I loved, was playing live on the televisions and I was literally trying to hold the tears back. Then come to find out Phil & the love that flows from his shop is connected to all the homies I know and Love in the community! OMG I've found my people! I love to fish and crab and so some of the others. Everybody (including the customers) are just warm and kind and real fam! Let me be clear, when I walked into the house and my husband said, "Wow, whomever your new barber is they are fire! They understood how to naturally line you up sharp and made your low cut gorgeous." I KNEW I had FINALLY found my dude for life! I normally let my hair grow back after chemo-immunotherapy but, this time, I think me and Phil might just rock the #2 and cute line up for the next year or so. Let's do some lines and something funky next time! It's 2022 and I'm feeling myself Phil! Much love to this CLEAN, WARM, FRIENDLY, WELL PRICED, COMMUNITY GEM of a small business! read more

Phil gave my son his first fade at the young age of 4! He's been my sons barber ever since and my son is now 16 and won't go to anyone else. Phil and his crew of barbers are polite, work well with both kids and adults, always professional, always prompt and the shop has a positive vibe for all ages. They do magic with their clippers, hands and scissors! I love this barbershop!!! read more

I always go to Phil and he has me looking fresh every time I leave. I always switch between different haircuts, usually getting bald fades and my beard done, and have never had a problem. My go to spot read more

Great spot to go and get a haircut. The vibe is dope and all of the barbers are great. There is always good topics of conversation going on throughout the shop as well as TVs all over. I get cut by Phil and he always has me feeling fresh after my cut. Definitely recommend! read more

I love this barbershop! I have been coming here for years and the whole staff is great. Phil good cuts embodies a family style barbershop right down to the environment and vibes. There's always an abundance of jokes, debates, and sports talk there to keep you entertained while you get cut or waiting for your appointment. If you're looking for a cut, I would recommend Justin he is a great barber. He is prompt and pays very great attention to detail. One of the things I like most is that he is highly flexible to work around your schedule to accommodate you. It is true what they say, "if you look good, you'll feel good" I trust Justin as well as all of the barbers at Phil good cuts to have me looking and feeling my best. Ps stop by the sandwich store next door to the barbershop to get a Phil good cuts sandwich/peroshki* read more

First time there, walked I didn't know anyone. Justin welcomed me in. Had time to cut my hair! He did it perfect. The shop is nice! I definitely will be going back! Thank you Justin!! See you soon!! read more

Wow!!! $40 bucks to cut my hair with a #3 & a #1 Razor!!! I usually get charged between $15-$25. Normally I wouldnt give a negative review for just that, I just wouldnt go back...as soon as I walked in, the 1st guy gives me a dirty look, & asks me if I have an appointment, I said no, do I need one? He didnt answer, & he says ill take care of you, like hes doing me some huge favor.. then I tell him what I want & he repeats it really loud to his fellow barbers and laughs....I dont get the joke...I get the vibe they are trying to create, young guys, fun place etc...but thats not what I felt. The vibe I got was, "We are masters of the universe when it comes to barbering. We will try to intimidate you into believing that we only work by appointments, because we are so badass." I get the phsycology there, by insisting on appointments they are trying to justify their $40 haircuts! Come on guys!!! Really?? You cut hair!!! I dont like to talk S$&#*% about other peoples trade, but... YOU CUT HAIR!!! Doctors and even Mechanics insist on appointments. I can even see Hairstylists for women. But you cut hair!!!!! Mens hair!! You are a Barber!!! People "walk in" for hair cuts at a "Barber"!!! Thats how its always been, & thats how it will always be for "Barbers"! No matter how much you try to intimidate your customers into believing its something other than a barbers haircut!!! My barber, while he was cutting my hair stood there and cursed, & laughed with his fellow Barbers the whole time. Trust me, Im in construction, cursing & laughing dont bother me in the least...."BUT", this guy was bursting my eardrum!!! He has no volume control. Another difference, we in construction dont have customers around us for the most part & when we do, we watch our language. In the end...this is a business right??? I dont care what kind of vibe you are trying to create..one thing for sure, I wont go back. read more

Pros- First off I'd like to say the main barber Phil gives good haircuts, the barber shop itself looks well maintained and clean. Now for the negative... The first impression I got when I initially called was they're pretty stern. I asked about a beard lineup, clean up and trim. The website they use is pretty simple but I had to call Phil to set up the appointment because the website wasn't working for whatever reason. Come the day of my appointment everyone has a pretty friendly demeanor until you try to speak to em. Not sure why but when I asked one of the barbers which one was phil they sized me up and just said Phil's back there. Ok cool no problems I'm not from around the area so of course I gave em the benefit of the doubt because I'm a new customer. Now I get to phil and he's a more serious guy which surprised me because on his website he has a friendly picture and description of the shop. The whole time I was getting what I inquired about he was very serious and didn't talk at all. But with other people In the shop he was very friendly which was kinda weird but it is what it is. Good haircut... the next time I come around is when stuff got weird So I originally booked and appointment with one of the other barbers and sent a deposit of $30 to jarreu but ended up cancelling because Phil had a spot open. I cancel my appointment within 5 minutes of booking it expecting a refund but I wasn't issued one. Whether that was my fault for not asking for my refund back or not it was kinda shady that the barber didn't reach out or send it back. On top of that it was for sure before 24 hours that I had cancelled. I show up the day of my appointment following that weird debacle and this time around the same barber that had pointed me to Phil's direction still is giving me a weird look like I bothered him. Right off the bat the shop can be a little intimidating or can come off rude if you're not a regular as other customers seem to always be laughing and enjoying themselves. My haircut went like before but Phil was completely quiet just a few questions here n there but nothing more. Oh and the barber that took my $30 was just relaxing and didn't mention anything about a refund so oh well my loss. Overall I gave it a 1 star because plenty of other barber shops always give a welcoming experience and are glad to take you as their customer. Not sure if it's just me but it seems other people reviewing get the rude and bougie attitude from these guys. Sucks because they give good cuts but I'm all about the customer service. read more

I recently relocated to the bay area. I was originally staying in Brisbane while I was apartment hunting which is how I found this place. I ended up moving to Berkeley but I still drive here because the haircut is that good. I went to the same 2 barbers in San Diego for 4-5 years and since then haven't found a barber I really liked. My first haircut with Justin was perfect- great fade and beard line up. He actually listened to what I was looking for and knew how I styled my hair so he cut it based on the needs. I've got some weird cowlicks so when it gets cut too short it's miserable growing it back out. I've had four haircuts from him now and I was extremely happy with all four. Glad to finally have a regular barber again. Definitely recommend. The shop itself is really cool too. Nice design inside with two huge TVs. All the guys seem really chill and they have a lot of fun in there. read more

Been here 3 times over 12 months, and 3 different styles. Every time i go here it just gets better. Phil was awesome as usual and i am sure all the other barbers are too. My recommendation is be clear and precise on what you want in your cut. I recently got an undercut, with a fade on the side, and wanted the bangs to lightly trimmed and i got exactly what i wanted. Please make sure to make an appointment or you will be surprised if you just walk in. Overall 10/10 cut, and customer service. Havent tried the beard cut but would like to get it once covid subsides read more

Not the best place to go if your hair is fine and straight. Too much banter and not enough focus on task at hand. I won't go back but the dudes are great and friendly. read more

Awesome. I flew my son in from Louisiana. My son and my 18 year old brother who is autistic needed hair cuts ASAP! The barbers catered to our needs. The barbers were friendly, fast, and affordable! I was so impressed read more

Philgood Cuts - Barbers Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Shout out to PhilGood Cuts! Can't speak enough about the shop and the all around quality in barbers. Omar been taking care of me for a while, and the expertise and professionalism is off the hook. I have a crazy schedule and Omar is flexible and is always on time. I frankly just enjoy the expertise of getting a cut there, always a good laugh and great barbershop talk. read more

I have been going here for a few years now. Good vibes chill environment. All the barbers are legit. The barber I go to is Omar, and I don't just trust my hair with any barber, with that said Omar has the skill set of an A1 barber just top shelf fade/blending anything you want he can do. He has good communication, never late, never canceled an appointment. So in all I most deff suggest coming here and if you can book an appointment I'd deff go with OMAR!!!! read more

The one and only shop I go to for my haircut! Hands down the best place in South City. Walking in there feels inviting with a cool vibe! The guys there are hella friendly and helpful. Also, they have three TVs in which they always have something interesting on. Making appointments are easy too! Overall dope. read more

Rating: NEGATIVE 5 Stars If only Yelp would let us give negatives!!! This place sucks!! Came in one day and while there was at least 3 dudes in the shop and their chairs were EMPTY they couldn't take a client. WTF is that all about!?!? Supposedly they take walk-in's but I always hear them telling people to make appointments. Even if you go there 10 minutes before your actual time slot they STILL have you waiting 40 + minutes. The place is very disorganized, their choice of music sucks, magazines are wack and these dudes are very unprofessional. Yelpers beware!!! read more

I have been going to this barber shop for about a year now and it has never let me down. I love the overall vibe and feel of the place with how chill the barbers are and the music that's usually playing on their TVs. Booking an appointment is pretty easy as well since you can either do it online or just call in for the next available appointment, even if it's the same day. Or if you have a barber's number, you can simply text him. The barber I book my cuts with, Jarreau, always takes care of me and makes sure every detail is to my liking before I leave. Will definitely be my main barber shop for a while! read more

Better late then never, right Carl? The guys over at Philgood's barbershop are top class. When I had no other place to go to, the night before my job interview, they took me in! Carl hung out extra time to get my cut fit in. True or not, didn't matter to me, because I was getting what I wanted in the end, which still makes Carl the hero in this story. The vibe at the place was super chill, but obviously geared towards gentlemen, so ladies don't be shocked if you see some booty-centric YouTube videos on the screen. The cut was simple, but Carl gave it the same attention and detail that I'd expect out of a more difficult cut. Will be back Gents! read more

Poor Customer service. None of these barbers are happy or seem like they want to be there. Do you really want a haircut from someone with this type of attitude. I don't!!! I came in one day to get a haircut and the guy that cut my hair did a decent job. Not great. I was worried about the cut half the time. He Didn't have any communication with me except with the guy next to him who was talking about how drunk he got over the weekend. as he got to the end it came out alright. 20.00??!! Ok, Cool. Soooo I decided to go back and get another cut. As soon as I walk in this time. I get cold stares, I didn't feel like anyone wanted to help me. With a smile on my face, I ask do you take walk-ins or appointment only?? I get blank stares and then the guy up front asks the guy in the back if he's available. Guy in the back pretty much acts like he was forced to cut my hair and says "yea". Before I sit down I ask can I use the restroom. I get this rude grunt and a yes... This same guy is suppose to cut my hair after I use the restroom?!! Walking to the restroom I get a call and also forgot to close the door. At this point I have Everyone's attention they're yelling at me to close the door but Im on a call and I cant stop? So I walk out and I am still on my call. Then who I assume to be the owner or manager tells me to "hurry up" also that I need to close the door to the bathroom next time.. I guess my presence or phone call bothered him so much that he Then he says "we dont have time for you today, leave!!" I didnt say a word I just walked out. Keep in mind no one was out there waiting. Waiting area Seats were empty there wasn't any other person women or child... I thought that was a weak excuse to kick out a paying customer who is supporting your business. Again, none of these guys are happy to be there and it shows. Poor Poor service. For all the trash talking they do leaving the restroom door open seems small and insignificant... Weak BREHHHHHH!!!! read more

I've been going to Philgood Cuts for years now. All the guys in the shop have always been welcoming to me and my kids. I will continue to go to the shop for years to come. Shout out to Omar for always keeping me fresh. read more

These guys are awesome! I bring my son here to get his hair cut by Phil himself! My son is 5 years old and is antsy in any situation that requires him to sit still! Not here at Philgoodcuts... Phil has a way of always engaging my son in conversations that somehow keeps him motionless for his haircut! I love it! My son always tells me how he loves going to Philgoodcuts and being there is cool to "kick it with the guys!" - really??!?? Anything for my baby I guess! I also brought my step daughter in with me once as my son got his cut. It was last minute but she wanted a design; they didn't blink to take her. I don't know the Filipino guys name that did her star but his skills were on point! I watch all the barbers do their thing as my son gets his cut and I have to say, they all impress with their talents!!! Thanks guys at Philgoodcuts for always making my family feel welcomed and my son feeling like a man! read more

Paid $30 for a haircut that I didn't ask for. Could've cut my own hair if I wanted what I got. Didn't bald the cut till I asked, and didn't blade the line up. read more

Philgood Cuts - Barbers Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Ever since my friend Jarreau started cutting here, it's the only place I go to now. This place is great! Once you walk in, everyone is very welcoming and offers a high five or if they're busy, at least acknowledges you coming in which I like and makes me feel very welcome here! I only get haircuts from one guy but I look around and everyone's haircut looks so professionally done. As far as pricing goes, you get what you pay for and you can expect a high quality haircut coming to Philgood Cuts. If you're in the area and need a cut, don't hesitate to stop by! All barbers know what they're doing and if my boy Jarreau is free, don't hesitate to hit him up! read more

I went to Philgood about a little over a week ago and came out with the best cut I've ever gotten. It was my first time at an actual barber shop and the guys there made me feel welcome. I saw Omar that day and he was a really chill dude that ran me through the process and told me exactly what he was planning to do. He took his time to make sure everything was perfect and by the end of the cut it looked like he did exactly that. The environment of the shop is really chill and helped me feel at ease. I will definitely be coming back to this place for my next cut. The price is definitely worth the service that you get. read more

Best in the Bay without a doubt... they're all great but Justin is the man. Can't say enough good things about this place. Great community, atmosphere, skilled individuals at their craft, and even better people. read more

Wanted to give CJ a shout out. I walked in there after a prank last weekend, and let's just say I won't be loosing my job thanks to him! Good lookin out bud! Really appreciate it! My review: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Would refer and one I know read more

I been coming here since they opened. Through all those years, I never had any problems getting an appointment and my haircuts are always on point. This shop is always clean, lots of free parking, TVs, magazines and a friendly staff. There's even 2 liquor stores next door to get food and smacks while you wait. What I love about Philgood cuts is the relationships they make with their customers. They are real sincere when having convos with their clients. They make you feel like you're a part of their family and they are very good with kids. Quick tip: I know they do walk ins but sometimes they're swamped so I recommend making an appointment. read more

I was happy to be able to make an appointment in the morning and arrive by lunch time for my hair cut. Carl/Karl was very nice, did a consult before starting to cut my hair. When he got started, he worked quickly. At no time did I felt uncomfortable or uneasy in the male environment, I was in and out in under an hour. These guys obviously take pride in their shop, it was clean and well maintained. read more

All skilled barbers here. Been cut at least once by everyone here, and always comes out how I wanted it. Quick too, I usually get cut during my lunch break and I'm always done within an hour. Honestly haven't been more satisfied with a barber shop in my area. read more

Been going here for over 2 years getting cut by Justin, I have crazy Biracial hair that grows in hella different directions and inexperienced and experienced barbers have had some tough times but from day one Justin has had me right from Tapers, Fades, Mohawks, Burst fades, Pompadours, Pompahawks and the many other cuts i've got in the over 2 years I been getting cut I get nothing but compliments. Sometimes there is a wait but what place that provides a service do you go in and not expect a wait??? Especially when the place is busy, to me thats just a good sign to a great service. I've seen every type of person in the shop from older people to kids, hipsters to hood cats it is what it is it's a barber shop theres going to be shit talking and MAN conversation unless woman and kids are present then these guys keep it respectful. I've never seen a bad cut walk out of this place and I'm there every 2 weeks if not every week some months depending on the style i'm rocking, I get my hair done by Justin exclusively but honestly the day I slide through and need a cut and he isn't there i'd feel more than comfortable having any barber in the shop give me a cut. Do yourself a favor end the search and hit these dudes up ASAP. read more

1 star for the price. $33.50 for a trim. I used a card so they bump it up, which is understandable. But then I feel compelled to tip because that's how I was raised. I went to a place on Grand Ave for a basic haircut and it actually looked better than PhilGood. I only spend $15 and it took the guy no more than 15 minutes. Lower the price and I'll be back. read more

Philgoods is a great place to get a flawless looking fade. The lineups are clean, and they pay great attention to detail. I had my hair cut by Manny, he's a great guy who will make sure you get exactly what you want. I highly recommend you make an appointment with him. I made an appointment for a Sunday morning, had to wait thirty minutes but it's all good - it's worth the wait. It's a good sign when a place is busy right? This is probably the best place to go for a cut in the Peninsula if you want your fade done RIGHT! read more
