The only spot that I can go to now to get a haircut! It's always an amazing vibe walking into the shop when they have the music going on when they have a game on. The prices are incredibly reasonable and they always have me squared away in less than 20 minutes. Shoutout to Juan for always giving the best cuts! read more

Brandon cut my boyfriend's hair and did an amazing job. I wanted to jump his bones right when he took the cape off. If you're in SB for a weekend let Brandon get you right. #letsgobrandon read more

I can not say enough good things about this establishment. Welcoming and friendly atmosphere to everyone! I would say it is the quint essential Barber Shop. Nash is the best barber experience I have had! Great at listening to what you want and explainong everthing along the way. Very relatable conversation and friendly dude. Highly Recommended! Cheers Yelpers read more

Awesome place! Really cool looking shop with a great vibe, and an excellent location near all the fun shopping on State St. Brandon did a really great haircut based on a photo my son showed him. We loved the results! Great prices for Santa Barbara, too. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

SBB was awesome! Not sure of the guys name who cut my boyfriend's hair but he was a doppelgänger for Manny Montana. We stopped by and were told to come back in a couple hours. They did their best to accommodate us and make it work under the circumstances. He gave my bf a GREAT haircut. The best I think he's ever had! Thank you so much. read more

On a whim, while back in town I decided to stop in and get a haircut. They had an open chair within a few minutes I was well on my way to looking great. These guys are old school pros when it comes to haircutting, styling and shaves. For 21 dollars+tip I got one of the best haircuts in 41 years. They dress to the 9s and wear dress shirts, ties and polished shoes. The place and atmosphere bespeaks professionalism, calm and confidence. This is like Matt Sanchez, Frank Berta and Arturo's used to cut hair, not some beauty school rejects or teeny boppers tooling around making chit chat while getting hair down the back if your neck...and you have to go home and re do it with your own clippers. I can't speak highly enough about this shop, you owe it to yourself to get your hair done here. I got a haircut, and my gf son got his haircut+we purchased a hat too. The shitty thing about this place? I now have to drive 6 hours from Nevada to get my haircut.... read more

This barber shop is very busy! They do not do walk-ins, you must make an appointment! My friend and I are probably the only girls that come here but, it is still very welcoming! We both have very thick hair and we found one of the best solutions is to shaved the back of our head at the bottom. The barbers seem to put a lot of effort to make sure every detail is perfect! The only con is that they could probably sweep after every cut. read more

Literally shouldn't give any star, workers are rude and arrogant here. Gave two of my boys a haircut that I literally could of did myself. I called and ask if they was able to do a fade they said yes, the hair cut and fade was uneven and I had to force them to fix it. The fade isn't blended correctly still, these people clearly did not care. Do not go to them. Save yourself the money. I am from the east coast and they claimed thats why they couldn't do a line up. Um okay, sounds like a bunch of excuses from people who will clearly never get anywhere in life. Thanks for ripping me off my money. read more

I just moved up here to SB from. OC. Had a barber in OC that was great and was going to for 2 years. So when i got here my search began for a new barber. I walked in on a reference to the place and was given to Nash. Excuse my wording but best mother fucking barber EVER! This guy takes his time and does an outstanding job. If your looking for a great barber Nash is your guy. Best barber in SB hands down dont even bother going anywhere else. read more

First time there- Honestly, didn't like the haircut. The barber was nice, I explained him exactly what I want and he just cut it like he just want to be done. Too short. Cut the sides way too much and higher then my hair line, after I explained him not to. And when I asked him to dry my hair before I leave, he just got the hair dryer for 15 seconds - my hair was still wet. Overall the guy has no sense of styling. Not the result I usually get other places. Wearing my hat for the next 2 weeks. I didn't like it and will never go back again. Sorry guys. read more

I took my son to this barber shop. They welcomed walk-ins. Clean place with good music. The barber said his name was Joey. He was very nice, respectful and he did an amazing job cutting his hair. Clean work! I asked my son if he would like to try out other barbershops and he said he would like to go back here. We will be back! Thank you SB Barbers! read more

This place is the best barbershop in town...by far. I have been going to almost every barber shop in SB County looking for someone I can trust to do a low fade from a zero/one up, but still leave a good length at the sides around the top. Jacob did this perfectly and blew my mind. He made a repeat customer out of me for sure. Thanks a lot Jacob! read more

Santa Barbara Barbers - SB Barbers are the kings of the fade and low fade. By far the best in SB/Goleta. I got my cut from Jacob. - Barbers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I had a deluxe shave here with son before his wedding. It is a very cool, old-school barber shop with no foo-foo stuff. My barber was friendly and excellent. It was a fun, reasonably priced experience, located just off State St. read more

First time ever here at SB Barbers. No appointment/walk-in, was greeted by one of the barbers, and was told I was next. Customers all seemed happy (young, old, and everyone in between) and everyone seemed to know each other. After around 5 minutes, I sat down and Joey (Fontaine) asked me a few questions on what I wanted, how long, what setting on the clippers i typically used, etc. Joey was detail-oriented, easy-going, and fast. Gave a great fade, took the bulk out of my hair (it doesn't grow long, it grows *out*), and even gave me local beach suggestions. I'm not a local but would definitely come back again, no doubt. Great haircut at a great price. Thank you SB Barbers! read more

Nash gave me a great cut. I plan on getting my haircut here as long as I'm in Santa Barbara. Everyone was masked and gloved up. I also bought a badass from these guys. read more

I had made a reservation at Chandler Men's Salon to get a shave the day before my wedding and they cancelled on me last minute. Santa Barbara Barbers came to the rescue. It was the best shave I have ever gotten (disclaimer, only my third straight razor shave). All of the guys were super friendly and let my friends hang around while I got a shave--even though we were Broncos fans (they were all Raiders fans, the Broncos biggest rival). This felt like a real barber shop. If I lived in Santa Barbara, I would come here on a regular basis. read more

Joe is the best barber in town. I flew back home but I usually see him twice a month. Dude is incredible. He is so laid back, great to talk to while getting a cut, easy going, professional, and most importantly a wizard on the Blade. I would recommend you seeing him. Overall these dudes are amazing. Great service. read more

Got lucky today. Called up SBB last minute to see if I could get an old fashioned straight razor shave and they had a spot open. Matt hooked it up, never rushed and made sure I looked dialed in for my wedding this weekend. Old school barber treatment. Not for the faint at heart. Only roll through if you're going to give them the same respect they give you. read more

Trying out a new barber shop always makes me a little nervous. I've had my share of bad haircuts trying places out in the past. But as soon as I went in I felt at ease. It's a very laid back atmosphere at SB barbers. Good music playing, barbers/clients cracking jokes and everyone is respectful. How a barber shop should be. Pako is a true master of his craft. I was referred to him by my nephew and he did not disappoint. I know my hair is hard to cut. I have some thin hair on the side of my head and it takes skill to make it look good. I came out felling like a million bucks. Thanks again Pako! This is my new spot. I will definitely be going back. read more

Probably one of the best haircuts and experience I have ever had. Josh was the best and certainly cared about what my hair was going to look like. Worth every cent! Make sure you bring Cash because it's a cash only business! read more

Absolutely love this place! For all SB locals this is definitely the spot to get cut. I personally always go with Chris however the other barbers are more than adequate and give you a great cut for a decent price. They tend to get very busy especially during later afternoons,so making an appointments is advised. They do accept walk-ins whenever they can however. Only downside is that they don't wash your hair before or after you get a haircut. read more

Started getting my haircut from Josh a few years ago and I can't be more pleased with the consistent cut's! He's a true artist with the scissors and clippers. I also like the fact that his shop has T.V.s and music playing. It makes getting a haircut feel like you're right at home. His shop is super clean and the other barbers seem to be great people too. Getting a haircut at SB Barbers is the best return on your investment... You spend a little and walk out feeling like a Million Bucks. Highly recommend it. Aaron G- read more

First time ever coming here. First off, even though 4 barbers were on the floor no one acknowledged me or gave me a wait time estimate when I walked in. After waiting nearly an hour I asked one of the barbers if this place was 'appointment only' and he said that I could make a walk-in appointment. This would've been awesome to know when I first came in so I could have made an appointment before waiting an hour. I manage a restaurant downtown in Santa Barbara and if a customer had been waiting for over half a hour without being acknowledged then I wouldn't expect them to ever want to come back. Super disappointing since I've heard good things about this place. read more

I got a worse haircut than I would have gotten from the Supercuts down the road, and this one cost me $21 before tip. My bangs are an inch shorter than I requested, the crown is too short so now I have a rooster-tail, it took 45 minutes so it wasn't quick, and my barber dropped the scissors on me and snagged my ear with the clippers hard once. The environment wasn't even pleasant, with the barbers teasing each other a bit meanly. read more

Great first haircut. Enjoyed having Jacob cut my hair. Called and got appointment right away. Friendly atmosphere

These guys know what they are doing! I have been here for the last 4 years and every time they amaze me with their quality cuts! Thank you so much guys for being my go to barbershop! You all are the best! read more

I came in to get a cut as I was needing one for a bit now. I had an older African American man cut my hair and I told him how I like my hair and what style I wanted to do with it. He obviously did not listen because he just did whatever he wanted. I ended up with a lot shorter hair than I wanted with a line up which I did not want at all. The whole time he was either on his phone or going to talk to someone else. Thats what pretty much what the other barbers were doing as well. I can tell they just pump people in and out. To them you're just a fade and thats it. I went to another barber a few weeks later to fix the damage this place had done. I would NOT recommend this place to my friend and will certainly not be going back anytime soon. read more

Went here because a friend told me it had just opened up and her friend worked there. Made an appointment to see Jorge (Rico) and he was very punctual except that he was really popular and one of his earlier appointments came in late... Typical start, asked me what I wanted, I told him what I usually get but that I was open to improvements. He ended up maintaining the 3 on the sides I get but added a little more to the top (I usually do fingertip-length) and added some gel to add the slight slick back effect on my bangs. And they also do eyebrows really well if you're just looking to clean them up--no threading or anything. It looked so good I could hear the panties dropping ;) Atmosphere was pretty chill and comfortable with great lighting unlike some other places, and the guys inside are very professional, well-dressed, and even offer you a complimentary beer. The place is right in the middle of downtown so you can strut your stuff soon as you walk out or get some food across the street. For $21+tip you definitely feel like you get more than your money's worth. I've been to places that charge much more than this but still leave you feeling unsatisfied when you walk out. Like Joanathan L. said, you owe it to yourself to get your hair cut here. Definitely one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten and I'll be going back for more great cuts in the future. read more

By far the best barber shop in Santa Barbara. They are so clean, welcoming, and take appointments at no extra charge. It's so nice not having to wait! Greg has been cutting my hair for almost two years now. read more

I usually go to a hairstylist... This was my first time in a barbershop, my stylist had been busy and my hair was getting out of control, luckily a friend recommended me this place, Barber Ito specifically, I was impressed, the place is clean, people are friendly and Ito gave me a nice clean cut! My only complaint is the lowd foul music they play. read more

Ceasar gave me the worst haircut I have had in years. I will never go back to this barber shop. I have my hair like a comb over (longer on top, short on sides) and he went to far up and ended up shaving off the tips of my hair at the top. Now the top of my hair is uneven, the left side is long while the right side is I proportional. I have to go to my hometown barber to fix this and to even it out I have to cut my hair a lot shorter than I want it. Extremely upsetting. read more

Dope spot. Got my haircut by Joey and he hooked it up. Took his time and paid attention to every detail. My fade was smooth and the top was the right length I asked for. Highly recommend Joey, most definitely coming back. The vibe is chill too; combination of barbershop conversations and highly skilled barbers taking care of their clients. I disagree with the persons comments about the music being foul. Music when I was there was classic hip hop and old schools. read more

You guys rock! Had my first beard shave ever at this place. Greg was professional and knew exactly what he was doing.

This is a great neighborhood barbershop. I've been going Pako for almost 2yrs now. He's professional and friendly and always does a great job with my hair, even though I don't have that much to start with, lol! Definitely recommend this place for anyone! read more

Joey lined up my fade like a boss, even after it was messed up from my last cut. Affordable and clean, these guys know the business and put in real work. When you ask for the perfect cut, they deliver read more
