The owner is skilled, professional, and clearly cares about his customers. However, the experience was impacted by the other employee working there. I don't know his name, but he is a bigger man with a beard. His customer service was very poor -- he was disrespectful and seemed uninterested in helping customers. Because of this, I would only recommend getting a haircut from the owner himself. He is truly the best part of this business.

Still the best hair cut I've gotten in San Diego…read more I have been going here for over 8 years and have never had a bad hair cut. The hair cuts are always consistent and look great, but the consistency is what I appreciate. Steven is my barber. He took me in as a walk-in years ago and have stayed with him ever since. Steven also cuts my son's hair so it's always fun to go together and get our ears lowered. There are currently 4 barbers here. All are super cool with fun personalities. They always have music or a movie playing. They also have a beer fridge, so help yourself if you're thirsty. Hair cut prices are fair, in my opinion, because you get a great quality cut and a shaving cream/razor finish. Cuts cost $35 You make your appointments on their website. They have a phone number that you can call them, but thy prefer you make your appointment online. I downloaded the Booksy app and make my appointment that way. It's super easy and straight forward. I don't think they always take walk-ins but you can try your luck.

Kyle is my go-to when our schedules match (Kevin is my backup, but equally good. As are all of the guys.) It's always nice when your guy remembers you and I always have a great time catching up. I just had my first haircuts in six months and he still knew exactly what I wanted. I walked out clean and felt great. I always enjoy the crew working the chairs. Good Padres talk and people that know the area and make me feel like I'm at home. They recently redid the inside of the shop and it looks awesome, BUT they took out one of the TVs and three of the five chairs have to stare at the wall if they don't feel like being social. I love the cuts and the conversation, but I miss being able to see the TV from my seat. I hope it doesn't affect which barbers get people because of that. Big fan of these guys and super happy to have them nearby!

Booking was easy, the shop is well-kept and welcoming, and the energy in the room is all good vibes. Everyone in there is locked in on their craft and takes real pride in what they do. Huge shoutout to Bebo--hands down one of the dopest barbers I've been to. He hooked me up with a clean, sharp cut that had me feeling like a whole new person. Attention to detail, smooth fade, crispy line-up, and just overall great barber service. Beyond just the cut, Bebo makes the whole experience comfortable and easy, with good convo and a cool, laid-back attitude. If you're in the area and looking for high-quality cuts and top-tier service, Stay Sharp is the spot. 10/10 recommend--ask for Bebo and thank me later!
