My husband's hair isn't the easiest to cut (I know because I've tried and failed) so I'm certain Brad is a very skilled and talented barber to pull it off. My husband goes to him regularly and I couldn't be more pleased.

Esther did a phenomenal job with our son's first haircut. She made everyone feel at ease, & took…read morethe time to show our son the various tools that would be used in order to make him feel more comfortable.

I had a great experience here and have already got my next appointment on the books! Booking online…read morewas easy via their website and they had plenty of availability. Their pricing is very reasonable, especially for the quality of cut and experience. I booked a specialty cut with Jaryd but it seems like the entire crew are very skilled and super chill. Their location is pretty convenient and I had no trouble with street parking nearby. The shop itself is small with wood floors and paneling which gives it a warm and intimate vibe. The conversation between the crew and customers feels like a friends and family hangout. I got to know Jaryd pretty well and really enjoyed our chat. As for the cut itself, I couldn't be happier. I was looking for a transformation and Jaryd delivered! I have significant recession in my hairline which makes my hair tricky to work with and I'm not generally thrilled with my haircuts, so I put this one off for years and came in with hair past my shoulders. I told Jaryd I was looking for a textured fringe which was no problem for him. He shaped my beard as well which really added to the overall look. I've included some before and after photos for reference. I was thrilled with the result and I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great cut in an intimate shop with a very pleasant crew!

Really wish I would've found this shop sooner. Great cuts, service, people, vibe. Brought my (18…read moreyr young) son today as well (a tough one to win over), and it's the best he's experienced as well. Fortunate to have this local gem.

He freestyle his own poor taste of haircut with only 1inch left at top to me. Poor understanding of english. I'll suffer at least 8 months to get my personal style back. Totally life ruin haircut. This barber definitely not qualified not sure he's licensed or what. Don't go to this place if you don't want your style be screwed fr. At least the middle-aged male barber. I'll totally avoid this place in future just for safe. I'll never forget this stupid barber!!!

Talking is fine but if you can't multi task then you shouldn't be talking. We book an appointment for a reason to go with our schedule. It's not ok to have your next client wait for his turn after you guys ask them to come in earlier than the appointment time. An hour and a half is crazy.

All barbers are experts in their trade. This is my boyfriend's second visit to OAKBarber Studios…read more However this review experience is with owner and master stylist, Justin. My boyfriend, Bill, called in 30 mins before for a same-day appointment and luckily landed Justin. He hooked up Bill with a close face shave, and a high fade haircut. Justin suggested a side part and showed some sample portfolio photos. Bill agreed and the outcome was impeccable. Haircut: At Bill's mature age, he is at a time where he is less floof, and more grumps. But Justin was able to find the perfect balanced look for him with the high fade and side part. Interior: aesthetic man cave vibes, light R&B tunes playing, beautiful Oakland attributed graffiti wall art, and comfortable waiting area Exterior: quiet neighborhood, ample parking, clear barber signage, and community grocers next door. Overall, Bill and I give this location a 5-star rating and will be back during New Years for a new look from any of the OAKBarbers!
