This review is for Aidan Brogan, one of the barbers at Pro Style. I have not tried the other barbers so I can't speak for them. Aidan may not be a stylist but that's okay with me. He's a real barber and he pays a lot of attention to your hair. I always get a nice clean cut from him with great consistency. I'm a no frills kind of guy and I like my haircut short and neat. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm pretty sure I'll be going back to him as long as I'm working nearby because the experience is hard to beat. He uses a razor to shave the back of your neck, a small massager to loosen up your shoulders, and a hot towel to open the pores on your face. All standard at $29. I highly recommend his services. Call ahead and ask for Aidan. read more

I used to hate getting my hair cut. I put off getting a haircut for almost a year I hated getting my hair cut so badly. Then I found this place. Aidan Brogan is the best. He does an awesome job everytime, he is very personable and he is reasonably priced (bring cash). I now look forward to getting a haircut, knowing that I will come out feeling like a million bucks. Sometimes they have a person working who can shine your shoes while you get your haircut, but there wasn't anyone doing that the last time I was in there. The two other older Italian guys have cut my hair before, and they do alright. I don't like not being able to talk to my barber though (they mumble, and I'm a bit hard of hearing from all the loud music in my youth) so I'll probably stick with Aidan regardless of what location he's cutting hair at in the future. read more

[Pro-Style:Aidan] I have tried nearly every "high-end" salon in SF, following recommendations from citysearch.com (for those of you old enough to remember when they were relevant) and yelp.com. Had some good cuts along the way, but none have garnered my allegiance like @Aidan has. Just a GREAT cut without the muss and fuss. In true barbershop tradition they have a great selection of 1980's porn mags. read more

Really enjoy coming here. Armando is experienced, quick, and gives a great haircut.

This review is for Aidan, as I think the two bad reviews here got him mixed up with others, as they both seem to mention "old guy." Aidan is the younger dude. Aidan has been cutting my hair since I moved to SF from NYC, where he also used to cut. The guy is by far the best cut around. He definitely follows your instructions and always checks before cutting, even after you become a regular. I am basically going to go to him in whatever shop he works in. The shop is no-frills and I actually think that's a great thing- the conversations usually have me in stitches and yes, really random documentaries and the History Channel get more airtime here than House music in a Miami club, but that just cracks me up. The place just works as a guys' barber shop. Aidan is a top choice regardless of whatever shop he's in-- and this one is fine, seriously. Highly recommended as a solid and attentive barber you can stick with. read more

Go here. I went in - was welcomed by everyone working - and the shop fell back to chewing the fat while I waited. Nigel set me up in a chair, listened to what I which cut I wanted and actually proceeded to do just what I had in mind, only better. He answered my questions about the barber shop while he worked. That can be good or bad. Some people can't talk and pay attention to what they're doing (which is alarming if they have sharp objects near your head in their hands) - he can! Before the straight razor came out I knew I could relax - I was going to look sharp! He did a fantastic job trimming my beard short and then detailing it with the straight razor. Its the 1st time I've ever had a straight razor shave and man - it was smooth! If you're in the Financial and have an important networking event to nail (like I did), stop at Pro Style! I left feeling smooth and sharp! I'm going back! read more

Pro-Style - Barbers Near Me - San Francisco, California

The barbers are great guys and make great talk, but I did not get what I wanted. I showed multiple photos and he didn't get close to what I wanted. He did not clean the cut hair off my neck or shoulders or stop the hair from going down my back by covering me up with a mat. The cover was loosely placed on me and when it fell off he didn't put it back on; now my back and shoulders are super itchy. He cut my hair how he wanted it to look and not how I wanted it to look. He might be good at giving one style haircut, but he is not trained in giving modern styles for younger men. Failed in cutting a fade. Like how can one fail at cutting a fade? I will not be going back to this barber shop! I went for a quick cut but and it took him three tries to get it shorter...fade short; like buzz that shit! I will be going to another barber tomorrow. My coworkers couldn't even tell me a lie that it looks good. they were like yeah I" noticed right away and its bad. where did you go?" read more

Just got my haircut by Armando. He did an awesome job, listened to what I wanted and then provided his own great advice. I really wanted to go with Nigel, but when I called up and asked who was the most experienced Armando said he had been doing this for 40 years, which is a lot of experience. He was nice to talk to, and took his time to make sure it was done right. I liked the nice little barber shop in the heart of the Financial District. I will come back here again. read more

This is a shop where you can get consistent clean cuts plus good conversation. Nigel was my "go to" for 3 years. I later found out that a few of my good friends went here. Call for an appointment to lock in a time. All my cuts passed the "wifey" approval test, haha! read more

This review is for Ed Without fail, I leave every appointment very happy with my haircut. He faces me away from the mirror and goes to work. He focuses on the way my hair works and does a great job! Gotta love the random VHS "history channel" recordings on aliens and yetis that are running non-stop. read more

Review is for Nigel in particular, have had good haircuts by the other guys as well, but have been coming consistently to Nigel for a year or so. Before that I was the supercuts type of guy, but I can see now it's definitely worth paying the little extra. Have already referred two people! read more

I've been going to Eddie for years and I can't say enough good things about him. He's attentive and is skilled at translating your words into an awesome haircut. He's also great at giving suggestions if you ask for it. I'll be going here for my hair cuts for as long as I live in the area. read more

Went here for the first time today to get a Men's business cut. Edward was my barber. He did a great job and I would trust coming here again. Nice folks. read more

Came here during my lunch hour to get a quick hair cut because I didnt have time after work. Became an instant regular right after. The guys there know what they are doing and it is always a fun time there talking to the barbers. Inexpensive for what you get, which is a quality haircut and is located near a lot of offices. Defiantly love this place and will always keep coming back. Shout out to my barber Nigel! You're the best! read more

Aidan is great. I've been going to him for over 7 years and the conversation is never dull and the cut is always great. He's an awesome dude. I would recommend him to anyone even if you don't have hair. When you're sitting in his chair, don't hold back on the stories. He loves them. He's also got some gems of his own. read more

Awesome... so glad I found this place. Great haircut reasonably priced. Cash only highly recommend

When I was a little lad, my mother and not my father would bring me to get my haircut. Being the good momma that she was (and continues to be) she brought me to a barbershop. Not her salon. Let me repeat that. Loudly. SHE BROUGHT ME TO A BARBERSHOP AND NOT A SALON TO GET MY HAIR CUT. My pops took over the duties when I was past the toddler years, and he brought me to the same barbershop. In college I went to the Marine barber on campus. He charged 5 bucks. He did not even own a pair of scissors. He did not ask questions at the end of the haircut like..."any gel?" He cut my damn hair. After college I went to the same barber for years. I would walk in, sit in the chair, and say "the usual Joe." He would go to work. Then I came to San Francisco. I could not find a real BARBER. I was doomed. I went to Supercuts because there was no way in HELL that a good red blooded American lad like myself was going to a salon. And my haircuts generally sucked dong. Then I discovered Pro Style. My fiance changed jobs and now works in Embarcadero 3, which is where Pro Style is located. Don't let the name fool you. This is a real barbershop. That means barber chairs and dudes sitting around reading a real newspaper and watching horrible TV. They have clippers and straightrazors and hot lather and witchhazel and hot towels and everything a real barbershop should have. I went to Aidan. Damn the man is good. Best haircut I have gotten in almost ten years. Which is too long to be away from a barbershop. Forget Mr., go to Pro Style and get your damn man card back. read more

This review is for Aidan Brogan: Aidan is for real! I hadn't had a need for a barber in years since I was shaving my head clean. A couple of months ago I decided I was going to do the hair thing. By last week, I was sporting a fuzzy tennis ball look! Not good. Decided to check out Yelp for some recommendations. Aidan had high ratings and he was close to my office, so, I made an appointment. He gave me a spot on cut. On top of that, I got a bonus chair massage, hot towel facial and a straight edge razor clean up of my neck line. This is how it should be done! read more

Armando has been cutting my hair for the past three years and likely will be for many years to come. I went through the different barber/barber shop every time I get a hair cut routine for many years - more times than not I left the barber shop upset; a few times I actually had to buzz my head because the cut was so terrible (supper cuts go figure). I enjoy Pro-Style for the following three reasons: 1. Consistency - Armando has been cutting hair for several years and knows what he is doing. He cuts my hair the exact same way each visit, it is reassuring to know that you are going to get the same result every time. 2. Connivence - Pro-Style is always open when I want it to be - I can almost always get a hair cut "day of" by calling in an appointment four hours before hand. Armando also works weekends which is awesome. 3. Conversation - Everyone inside the barber shop is easy to shoot the bull with, very laid back atmosphere that fosters enjoyable conversations. If you want the true pro-style experience ask for Armando (the owner) - expect a great cut and a neck shave for a reasonable rate. read more

Ed has been cutting my hair since the early '90 - back when it was long. Now with my umm, thinner hair, he does a great job. He is a full service cutter, as he was my wife's hair cutter person even before me. Wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I've been going to Armando for close to 10 years now. Have to say that he's hands down the best barber I've had. He knows exactly what I want and does a great job every time I go in. I've recommended my whole office and they've all been happy and are also regulars. read more

I'm not a big reviewer on here, but I thought this shop deserved a minute of my time to just say that for $25 (cash only, but there is an ATM nearby), you get a solid cut by some nice people. Very pleasant experience, used a straight blade on the edges, and took the time to make sure the details were right (without taking too long). I'm a happy customer and will return, which is not something I've been able to say for most hair places that charge less than $50 (which isn't worth it for a guy with short hair). read more

Just relocated to the San Francisco Financial District and needed a good barber. Pro-Style was a great find. They were busy today (Saturday) and I should have called ahead. Personal attention, clean cut and smooth straight edge razor touch was a perfect touch. Thanks Armando. read more

This review is for Armando. I highly recommend him. He has been cutting my hair now for nearly 10 years. Why have I been his loyal customer for so long? Because he provides a consistent, high quality haircut at a reasonable price. He also has a great memory of my preferences. Finally, I find that he is a pleasant guy to converse with while you're in the chair. read more

wow... that was a seriously bad haircut... the old guy that cut my hair cut the back completely uneven... i'm not even going to bother going back for a touch up, i'm better off using two mirrors and fixing it myself. i even came back from my reallllly long hiatus from yelp to leave this comment. side note: i need to write more reviews. read more

I've been getting haircuts from Nigel for roughly 3yrs, and I believe for justifiable reasons. Nigel is markedly meticulous: he will spend 20 to 30min to ensure that the cut is symmetric, proportional, and well faded. He is also an easygoing person that can keep a solid conversation going, so none of that awkward silence barber. The cut is $28 (cash only), which I consider as extremely reasonable for this level of service and quality in SF, where comparable barbers wouldn't hesitate to charge $40-50. Bonus: He has interesting stories to tell if you can get him to open up. read more

Great cut, great conversation, and great prices. Aiden is definitely gonna be seeing me at Pro Style on a regular basis. After a few bad haircuts in the San Francisco area, I have finally found what I've been looking for in a barbershop... If Aiden moved to another shop, So would I! read more

I come from NYC, where good haircuts from good barbers are the norm. Unfortunately SF doesn't have too many good barbers, well that's what I thought until I found Nigel at Pro-Style. He's on point with his cuts. Takes his time to make sure he understands what you want then delivers every time!! Check him out, you won't be disappointed! Shoe shines from Ron are a great bang for your buck too. read more

For me, like most men, haircuits typically fall into a vast mediocrity of "meh." The overwhelming majority are fine, no damage done, check the box type errands. It takes a lot to get a really poor haircut. Even more to get a really great one. Aidan is a great barber. I stumbled on him through Yelp reviews when I first moved to San Francisco and have not strayed since. He listens to your requests, but also has good intuition about what works. Besides the haircuit itself, the experience couldn't be better. The hot towel on the face and the next massage are fine, and help you feel better about the price. But the real kicker for me is solid, interesting, conversation about most everything in the world. Ask for Aidan (though the other barbers give a decent haircut in a pinch) and book in advance. read more

Nigel is the MAN! Keeps me looking fresh. Great businessman's cut, straight razor on the edges with a warm lathered shaving cream, and a hot wet towel face wrap to finish. All for under 30 bucks. (Impossible to find a great cut at a decent price in the FiDi right? Wrong. Look no further than Prostyle!) read more

I get my hair cut by Aidan and the guy is a serious professional. He takes his time cutting your hair and makes sure you are completely satisfied with the cut. Afterwards he'll give you a neck shave with a razor, a hot towel on the face, and a back and scalp massage. Cuts are more expensive that your standard Supercuts prices but you get your moneys worth ($30-35). I've recommended at least 5 people over to Aidan who are now regulars. You can also get your shoes shined while cutting a cut if you are into that sort of thing. read more

VHS tapes for sure. But overall good, businessman haircut.

This review is for Aidan, I went to him for the first time a few weeks ago, and he is great! I told him what I wanted and he totally delivered. I was getting my hair cut and faded about every 2 weeks, and this cut has lasted 3 weeks and still looks clean. read more

This review is for Aidan, but first a quick review of the shop. Not a huge place but in a fantastic location for me. My Building! As the other reviews mention it has the feel of an old school barber shop with the most random history channel/national geographic type fare on the TV pipping through a genuine VHS player. To Aidan: He did a great job on my hair. My hair can be a bit hard to cut as it is super thick and varies between wavy and curly depending on length (and how lazy I've been in getting it cut). To cut my hair it has to be super wet but when its wet it actually shrinks/thins out quite a bit. Without me even mentioning it he knew it needed a quick blow dry and touch up once dry to get it just right as my hair seems to expand as it drys. He was super attentive to detail and an easy guy to chop it up with while getting my hair down to a respectable length. Will definitely be a return customer. read more

This review is for Armando. I relocated to San Francisco and needed a good barber. Fast, comes out perfect every time, no haircut shock, etc. My wife thinks best, most consistent haircuts I have ever found, hand down (and I have been to plenty of expensive salons). Pro-Style was a great find. Smooth straight edge razor is a perfect touch. Thanks Armando. read more

Had a cut from Nigel. Looks great, and he did the extra things like trim the edges with a straight razor, clean everything up nice, etc. Way better than my usual place, so I'll probably switch to here. $27 seems like a good price for the level of service, only downside is that it's cash only. read more

I've been to this barbershop several times because of its convenient location. No more. The man who cut my hair last time ignored my instruction. While the haircut was adequate (which is how I would describe each experience at this location), you can do a heck of a lot better for $30. read more

$28 CASH Only open 8am - 6pm. Nice haircut, take their time over the hair, about 30 mins to complete. Finished with blade around the back & sides. Good conversation and friendly staff. read more

Great hair cut. Just passing through town, stopped in on a whim and had the pleasure of having Armando cut my hair. He spent a long time giving me the perfect hair cut, straight razor for sideburns and neck. He had a very professional touch and way about him. If you're looking for a perfect cut, ask for Armando - I certainly will next time I'm in the area. Thanks! read more

I scheduled an appointment after reading many of the reviews in Yelp, and they were right...except for the occasional ranting from the easily discounted and marginally stable customers (Can't take that stuff too seriously). liked the way Aidan cut my hair. Good sense of humor, serious about his work, reasonably priced, usually right on time, and agrees that France should have advanced to the World Cup! Right Aidan? read more
