I have gone here several times before and received excellent service. Recently went and received poor service; the barber lost her temper after I asked for a shorter cut on top and proceeded to buzz my hair and cut the back of my neck with clippers. Very disappointing considering I have been a returning customer for years. read more

One of the worst haircuts I've ever had. Asked for a low fade and got a screaming high and tight that even the bootest of the boots would mock. When she was done I told her that this was not a low fade, she argued, but then just insisted that it was okay because I looked good with it.. to top that off she didn't have change for me so I had to tip for this terrible haircut. I'm at home now debating whether or not I just go full Brittany and shave my head. read more

Professional barbers. I've gotten a haircut here 3 times by 3 different barbers and each time I got an awesome haircut! The entire team is very talented, they never rush you, they'll take time to give a great haircut. read more

This is a great little barbershop. There's rarely a wait and the price is right. Everyone cuts well and takes direction well. Be specific with what you want and you'll be happy! As good or better than most hipster barbershops and at a fraction of the price! read more

Someday I plan to own a barber shop. Whether I do any cutting is up for discussion. I don't think knowing to give a "mean fade" back in college qualifies me, but I remember watching and getting that technique down. Oh my poor bros that had to be my guinea pigs. LOL Rite Cut is the "right cut." I'm picky about my barber shops. I look at the barber. I look at how they are. I look at their staff. I look at the clientle. I look at how normal the shop is. I talk to pals. I ask about cost. The days of $6 haircuts (tip included) have long gone. I'm a bit older now and I should get what I pay for, you know? LOL Though I still don't completely understand why galpals have to pay for twice filling up your car in gas to get a nice "style" from a salon. They'll even drive to another county. Anyway.... Carlos treats all of his patrons with respect. All of them. He also isn't arrogant about his technique - except that he claims he can make you into a "movie star." LOL I've seen many barbers think they are better than sliced bread. I've seen many patrons from all demographics go to his shop. Now that's respect. It's not cliquey in there and I've watched everyone walk out a new person with a new look. What a way to reinvent yourself every few weeks. Carlos is also well-spoken. I've seen him hold many different types of conversations. One that strikes me was historical. He talked to one guy about World War 2 and how the US was on it's way to drop the Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki. It piqued my interest. Carlos then talked about how the Mexican Air Force was forgotten in that mission. Why? They helped lead the US Air Force into Japan, by protecting the US bombers. Now that put a smile on my face. read more

There are few a places in Encintas that charge a reasonable price for a haircut. Rite Cut Barber Shop is one of them! For ONLY $14, you can get a haircut that costs $20 anywhere else, especially in a nice area like Encintas. I had Chau cut my hair. Not only did she take me after the place was closed, but she even took all her precious time to cut my hair perfectly, checking in with me every few minutes to seek approval for the haircut. She was super sweet and courteous. She told me about her family, her background, and her story. She treats her customers like friends, not like clients. The setting is quiet with a television broadcasting local news and entertainment. Plenty of magazines to choose from to read before or during your haircut. Clean environment. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. read more

A good men's barber shop. This is my goto spot for men's hair cutting. Just like others have mentioned, I've been going for over 10 years. Last Sunday there were three chairs working, thus minimal waiting time. While my hair was being cut, another gent waiting his turn, had the same 10 years story. I guess my point is this place has loyal customers, the best kind of advertising. read more

Chau Tran has been cutting my hair for over 12 years. I would drive 45 minutes each way from Valley Center to have her cut it. Her work is impeccable! She is unbelievably dedicated and skilled. Chau is kind and friendly and you will always leave 100% happy and looking forward to coming back. She is definitely well worth waiting for if she's busy when you get there. read more

Wish I could give Kevin more than 5 stars. I showed him a picture of what cut I wanted and my cut looked better than the one I'm the picture lol. He's attention to detail is on-point. He also gave me some tips on what product to apply on my hair. Would definitely go back here. read more

I wouldn't let these idiots cut my lawn. Took my sons for a trim and they ended up getting scalped. I could have done a better job with a flowbee. I guess one must not need to test in order to get a barber license? read more

Lily cut my hair as a walk-in customer. She is now my new barber ! Professional and talented for a fair price. I will return. Thanks read more

I love this local barber. Everyone in the shop is kind and do a great job. They take their time. Each haircut is not overly priced but I feel we get our money's worth. I highly recommend Rite Cut Barber Shop. read more

This is my second review, but since my first one is over five years old I decided to post another. Service is still excellent, the cuts are to your specifications, and personnel are essentially the same. A few new faces, but still the old regulars. Cuts are now $22 per haircut for an adult. read more

I've been a loyal customer of this barber shop for 8 years and never been disappointed. They do detailed work, are friendly and never have I been disappointed!! 5 Stars, YES! read more

Your average barber shop $14 for a haircut. Convenient for me as it is close to work. If you are willing to travel, there are better options- see my review of Lefty's read more

I started driving here for a hair cut this summer; the Solana Beach joints started charging twenty bucks and the Happy Barber in Clairemont is too far of a ride for a $12 cut. At $14, this was a great compromise for me. I wish they used a straight razor for the neck and ears but they compensate for that with the electric razor. If you want a straightforward mans hair cut, for a good price, Rite Cut is abou the best value in a 10-mile radius. read more

been coming here for years as long as they have been opened however the price for a hair cut was originally $12.00 if I remember correctly now it's $22.00 I was surprised to say the least read more

If you have a special needs child this place is not capable of handling it. Kevin is great at haircuts taking the time and attn to detail for a typical kid. In fact he's great. After being asked to wait for 40 minutes for the lady that would do the cut she put less than 5 minutes of effort toward the cut for the child w special needs. Just a share that could save a parent 40 minutes of unnecessary time wasted. To recap: this place is incapable of of handling a person w special needs despite what they say. read more

Found them on Yelp when I was in the area. Lots of positive reviews so I when in without a appointment. They got me in fast, and did a great job. Very impressed. Then the cost was less than my regular barber as well. Looks like I'll be coming here for my cutting next time. read more

John did a great job in my hair! The staff are prompt and courteous! Enjoy your cut! I did!!! read more

Always has been great for my son and I. Quick, convenient, friendly. We will continue to go!! read more

Rite Cut Barber Shop - My son loves this place, gets his Soccer haircut here every month...check them out they are great!! - Barbers Near Me - Encinitas, California

I have been going for about 5 years...and I kept forgetting to write them a review. Everyone there is so nice, Chau has been go to person and does a fantastic job every time. Now my best friend and parents go there too. read more

Great shop. It's been years since my husband has had a barber do a proper job. His cut is simple, beard and hair shaved to a 1 but always comes away from other shops with random long hair patches, beard not properly cleaned, eyebrows screwed up. He has been to every barber in encinitas. He walked into Rite Cut today and came home with a perfect cut, everything looking clean. Thank you Kevin! read more

I was looking for a closer local barber shop and I found rite cut on yelp. Based on the reviews I gave it a shot. I'm picky about my haircuts they either go to high and way too short. These barbers actually listen to you on what you want and take their time. Chau and Vincent and the rest of the barbers do amazing jobs. Definitely my go to barbers. You won't be disappointed read more

Very friendly and welcoming staff but lack of skill for my type of haircut. I'm sure you'll be fine if you get simple clean ups or just a trim but fades is a weakness. In addition, my person did not use a razor blade on my skin fade. He used an electric shaver. The line was still visible and was uneven. You get what you pay for type of situation. read more

Carlos has left the building. (sigh) He is sorely missed but the girls he left behind are pretty fair scissor wielders so after checking out a few alternative shops around Encinitas, I'm back. Easy in - easy out. Not the best, not the worse by far, but priced right and convenient. I hear Carlos is appearing somewhere in Temecula now, so maybe somebody can add where he opened his new shop. read more

I took my son to get a haircut and they did an amazing job. It was our first time here, the service was good, and everyone was so nice. I highly suggest this place. read more

I can tell that other people love their hair cuts, but I have came here twice and I unfortunately do not think I will be returning. I don't think my type of hair is in their wheel house. read more

Great haircut and beard trim and shape. One of few place left that can do a straight razor shave. read more

Great haircut. Very fast, professional, and friendly service. Been there three times now and you can't go wrong with Lily, Jamie, or Kevin (aka the "manny." read more

Came in for a walk in trim! They saw me right away! And my hair came out perfect ! So I suggested this place to my boyfriend he went there and got his hair Chopped in all different directions! He gets a simple hair cut and it's like shaved completely on one side and then tapered on the other side and if you look at the back there's this crooked line across it.. He feels horrible now having to wear a hat and I feel like a horrible person for telling him to go here. We both wont be back. read more

I was merely looking for a quick "clean up" hair cut when I stumbled across this gem. I ended up with Kevin, who is more than a barber. He did an excellent job on my hair AND beard. He was personable, professional AND meticulous. I wish I lived here as I would use Kevin exclusively. Great job you guys! read more

Great job. Clean shop and they took care of me in a reasonable amount of time. I used to go to Leucadia Barbershop on the 101, but when I was in their non-air conditioned space last time, sweating underneath the apron while the guy cutting my hair was telling his mom how to use an exercise band around her knees, while taking 45 minutes to cut my hair, after I had already waited 45 minutes to sit down, I decided that I needed a new place. So glad I did. This place is great, and Jamie focused on my haircut, not on everything else going on. Found my new spot! read more

Friendly staff, clean facility, plenty of parking. Barber took her time and made sure we both understood the haircut I wanted. Price is average 12-14$; it is Encinitas. Thanks for the cut be back soon. read more

Update: after my last haircut, Chau, the manager, reached out and offered to fix my hair free of charge once it grew back out. I went back and she did a wonderful job. One of the best haircuts I've ever had. I had also gotten a great cut from Lily on my first visit, so I'd recommend either of them if they are available. read more

Took my son in for a haircut as a walk in. They saw him right away and did a great job. My son's hair has a mind of its own so it rare that anyone does a great job with it. It always ends up a little crazy on one part or another. But they did a really nice job. It was a lady who cut his hair but don't recall her name. Oh and they only take cash so stop by the ATM before you head in. read more

Annie gave me an awesome, diligent, thorough cut. $14 was a great price! Highly recommended!

I've been coming here for years. Friendly, fast service and Chau is simply the best. Won't be going anywhere else.

This is place is a hidden gem. I love how there's never a long wait. Everyone is very friendly there. They take their time and don't rush the haircut. I like how the barbers always makes sure you are 100% happy with the haircut before leaving. I will definitely be coming back. highly recommend this barbershop A+ read more

New location, still a great cut! Straight razor on request and always a concern to make you look your best before you leave. I appreciate the nice personalities of the stylist as well. read more
