Let's start this off right ... in a word ... exceptional! I could have very easily been "that guy"! With a years long, unmaintained head of shoulder length hair. Not for Dave Clark. He is a REAL pro! He owns and operates out of a very modern, inviting space. He is equal parts listener, conversationalist and highly skilled barber. Reading his other reviews and considering my own experience it's clear to me that he also has the gift of being the right operator for whoever happens to be seated in his chair. I walked out of his shop very satisfied, and looking better than I have in quite some time! I will go back for certain, and can highly recommend him! read more

I had a great experience at SilverFox Barber Co. yesterday. The shop has a welcoming, laid-back vibe while still feeling clean and professional. Dave took his time with my haircut and beard trim and really paid attention to the details. I went with a short, clean cut with a subtle taper on the sides and back, blended into a slightly longer top. My beard was shaped and trimmed with a defined goatee, and everything came out sharp and polished. I have thick, straight hair, which can sometimes be tricky, but Dave knew exactly how to work with it so it lays well and is easy to manage. Nothing felt rushed, and you can tell he takes pride in his work. Overall, it was a smooth, relaxing experience and exactly what I was looking for. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend checking out SilverFox Barber Co. if you want a clean, well-executed cut and beard trim. read more

I've been going to James for about a year now, and switching to him was one of the best grooming decisions I've made. He consistently delivers a clean, precise cut that grows out well and always looks professional, which is exactly what I need with a busy schedule. He takes the time to understand what you're looking for, makes thoughtful suggestions, and pays real attention to detail without ever making the appointment feel rushed. Beyond the haircut itself, the experience is always relaxed and easy. James is personable, remembers preferences from previous visits, and keeps things consistent every time I'm in the chair. If you're looking for a barber who combines technical skill with reliability and great service, I highly recommend booking with him. read more

James and the Silver Fox crew are absolutely top notch. My son has a larger head with several cowlicks -- his hair is very thick and grows quickly. It's challenging to find a barber who can accentuate his features, work around his head shape, and cut in a way that grows out well. James crushes. And the conversation and customer service is top notch. read more

I told Dave I wanted a "BOB" - a very classy/classic Do. I told Dave I wanted to look like I had just stepped off the plane from Paris. He asked when I was going to Paris. "Im not going to Paris, I just want to look like I stepped off the plane from Paris," I said. So what does Dave do? He gives me a Signature Cut (his words) & my words "a freaking show stopper!" Come by ladies. Come get your own. read more

I recently got a haircut here I showed them a picture of what I wanted and what I got vs what i asked for was a giant difference. The haircut came out lobsided and uneven and they gave me a completely different haircut than what I asked for and it was way to short they barely looked at my reference photo and made many mistakes along the way. Honestly I would not recommend this place not good service and terrible haircuts. read more

2 for 2. Both my boys love their haircuts from James. Awesome vibe appeal to my 15 and 13 year olds. read more

Silver Fox Barber CO - After photo - Barbers Near Me - Orinda, California

James Lizotte is an absolute wizard with the clippers and scissors. Precise, professional, and an outstanding human being on top of all that. I had grown my hair out for many years and walked in with a man bun; told him what I envisioned and came away with the best shadow-fade combover I've ever seen. It only took me 41 years of life to find the perfect barber, but here we are. read more

James is an amazing barber! Professional, talented, and easy to talk to. He gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. On top of that, the shop is simply the best. clean, modern, and has a great energy as soon as you walk in. 10/10 recommend James and this shop read more

Was able to make an appt. with very little notice luckily. Both James and Dave were amazing with their service and warm welcome. The decor and layout is perfect for an afternoon haircut. I highly recommend this barbershop but please, make an appointment ahead of time. read more

I've said in my other reviews and I'll say it again, Orinda's downtown is going through something of a revival: first with the tiki bar, then with the sushi restaurant under new ownership, the new fish shop, our first spin studio, a beautiful new plant shop and now an excellent and modern barbershop! I've been hiking up to Napa to see my favourite barber of 8 years who moved out from the Bay during COVID. But that's a long way, so I've tried a bunch of different barbershops in the East Bay - but Silver Fox Barber is definitely my favourite of the lot and the one I'll be back to! And you can't beat the location - right by BART, easy parking at Theatre Square, and very close to various Orinda watering holes like Fourth Bore and Boo Loo Lounge (the tiki bar). Plus Dave is a great conversationalist and provides excellent service. The barbershop is spacious and was renovated for their opening - with full hair wash stations (included as part of the cut, which was a pleasant surprise given how rare that is for men's cuts). read more

First time at this barber shop but I followed James over from his previous barber shop and absolutely am loving this new spot! James is an awesome barber who has consistently given me great cuts (which is why I followed him over) and this shop is super clean, has tons of space and I love the washing stations so I don't leave with a bunch of tiny hairs after my cut is over. I will definitely be coming back - I highly recommend James if you're looking for a clean cut with a guy that gives a lot of attention to detail! read more

Great barbershop, James is my guy and always gets me right. Been getting cut by him for the past 2 months and always worth the 30 minute commute that I . Super classic nice barbershop! read more

Was looking for a re-fresh. David took time to chat, get to know where I was "coming from", assess my current style, and suggest a path forward. That included waiting another 3 weeks to let my hair grow out a bit more before cutting my hair. Came back for the cut, and am incredibly happy with his work. I like his demanor, expertise and authenticity. And by the way, that 30 minutes he spent with me during our first appt - he waived the charges. High service integrity. read more

I've been getting my haircut for over 2 years from James and he's honestly one of the best barbers and people you'll ever meet. The shop is also very clean and well managed. Would highly recommend to anyone living in the East Bay looking to get a clean cut. These guys know what they're doing! read more

Dave has been cutting my hair since 2019. Silver Fox offers an amazing quality haircut every time -- he knows my hair and I always walk away with a perfect cut. He is a short hair specialist and I highly recommend his shop. read more

There have been only two people that have regularly cut my hair in the last 25 years and the last one essentially retired. I've been looking high and low, in search of quality and attention to detail but more importantly, someone that understands hair. Style is a result of that knowledge. I found my new barber, James. Outstanding service through and through. He knew exactly what to do with my hair with minimal explanation on my part. Gotta say, I didn't hold much hope in finding someone I really liked but the winds of fate blew my way. Very cool guy, great conversation and worth every penny. Had a cut with scissors and straight razor, shampoo and conditioner, facial treatment, eyebrow and neck trim. A++ read more

The shop is new, modern and clean. I followed James when he started cutting at Orinda and he gives some of the best cuts in the bay. It's worth the trip from the city!! read more

I have been getting my haircut for about 5 years now from Dave at Silver Fox. I am originally from San Francisco but don't mind traveling to Orinda to get my haircut as the shop has great parking (with validation) and a short walking distance from BART. The shop is always clean and organized. The neighboring area has plenty of restaurants to have lunch or dinner as well. Dave is an expert with the clippers, scissors, and straight razor. He is precise and has perfected his craft as a barber. I always feel more confident walking out than when I walked in. Dave is not only a great barber but a great person. Dave cares about his clients and his shop. I always look forward to getting my hair cut every time I book with Dave! Highly recommend booking your next haircut with Dave. read more

Dave has been cutting my hair for over a year and he's by far the best barber I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Best barber shop in Lamorinda! Dave and his entire team are great. No better beard trim / straight shave in the East bay!

I used to go to this shop when it was in Rockridge and recently booked an appointment at their Orinda location. After a 35 minute drive to get there I was turned away as Rachel, my barber I has an appointment with, wasn't there, and according to Dave, "hasn't been seen or heard from all day." Dave checked with another barber and neither he nor Dave could get me in. So over an hour wasted in traffic and no haircut and nothing from the owner other than a "sorry man." I wanted to go back here, but with distance and no-show for an appointment, I can't recommend this shop. read more

Great location and parking! Dave and his team are skilled and fun to visit! I've been a customer for years.

Have been going to Dave for years - solid haircuts in a great space. The spot in Orinda is awesome. Do yourself a favor and get a cut there!

Dave's been my barber for years. Saw him randomly when he was working at another place and followed him as opened his own shop. Highly recommend! read more

Dave has been my barber for 5+ years and he's the best in the business. Great cuts, great person. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Definitely check him out if you haven't! read more

James is probably the best barber I've have in my entire life, and I've lived in Manhattan, LA, San Francisco, and Oakland. He's kind of a legend in the Bay Area, and part of local history of his trade. Several things distinguish him: (1) the breadth of experience and virtuosity of his craft, well versed in hair styles hair styles across several generations and cultures; (2) his personable demeanor and sensitivity when working with a customer, especially new younger customers; (3) his gift of gab, the hallmark of old-school barbers, but with a modern twist (the man knows so much about so many things). Highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an exceptional cut and experience. read more

If you want tons of compliments, and better haircuts than all your friends, Dave is your guy. He's been cutting my hair since 2018. We've done multiple styles and he's crushed all of them. Aside from the cut quality, Dave is a really great dude. I look forward to our conversations just as much as the haircuts. He's a guy I'm happy to support and give business to. I'm sure the new barbers he's bringing in will be high quality as well. The Orinda location is great because there is ample parking and it's right by the freeway. Give it a shot, you won't regret it. I don't even mind the hour drive because I know I'll enjoy my experience. Please just don't take up all the weekend slots, I need one of those read more

Silver Fox Barber is an incredible experience. Dave, the owner has been cutting my hair for 10yrs and I have followed him from previous locations. I'm glad he has opened his own place, which is a clear representation of him quality and cutting edge service., read more

What a great shop! I followed Dave to this location and couldn't be happier. He truly is a short hair specialist and everyone at his shop is a true professional. You will get the haircut you came in for and the nice little extras you deserve. Fast, consistent cuts in a stylish salon with friendly people, what more do you want? Great location, easy to get to from Berkeley/Oakland and beyond. Free parking and BART access as well. I got my hair cut there YESTERDAY so I'm truly a recent customer! read more

I've been going to Dave for years for haircuts. He's great -- always very happy with the results. His shop in Orinda's 'Theatre Square' also has lots of easy parking. read more

What a great barber shop! James is a real pro with a positive friendly attitude. Location is also a plus!

Great quality haircut. I don't really need the head wash, but do think these guys do a really good job.

I've been getting my haircut with Dave for years now. He's always taken great care in understanding what type of haircut I want and has never not been able to cut it to exactly what was asked for. In addition, he's constantly evolving his craft, and he's done research on how to cut my specific hairstyle after hours in order to make the next cut even better. Prior to Dave, I kept switching barbers because I couldn't find one that could cut my hair right. I haven't switched in about 6 years now because Dave not only gives the best haircuts, but also is a pleasure to chat with. If you want your hair to look better than it ever has, you need to go see Dave. read more

My son says it's the best hair cut he's ever had. The peppermint hot towel felt very rejuvenating! Great atmosphere including free snacks, cute dog, and comfy chairs. Chill and classy! read more
