Proper Cuts - A Community Treasure…read more My boys are now 11, 4, and 2, and we've been loyal customers at Proper Cuts since April 22, 2023. Both of my younger sons had their very first haircuts here with Sam (4) and Shawn (2), and the experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a parent of children on the autism spectrum (my 11-year-old is borderline autistic and my 4-year-old is Level 2, non-verbal autistic), I cannot overstate the level of care and concern this team shows. My family requires patience, understanding, and flexibility, and Shawn and his team consistently go above and beyond to provide superior customer service. When my 4-year-old kicks, screams, and/or cries... Shawn calmly allows breaks to help him regulate. The entire shop joins in applause after each haircut, even on "challenging days," because they know he responds well to high praise. They've celebrated birthdays with my boys, and most recently, Shawn sliced his finger while carefully perfecting my son's haircut during a stimming episode... yet he never lost patience or compassion. Shawn is a perfectionist but also understands that my son runs on an internal timer, keeping haircuts under 12 minutes. (Yes, it's very specific because we timed it). Chris, a neighboring barber to Shawn, noticed my son struggling to calm down and immediately brought over a lavender oil-soaked hot towel, which worked instantly. That thoughtful gesture inspired us to add lavender diffusers in all of our children's bedrooms! Beyond their care for my family, Proper Cuts is a true pillar of the community. Just last week, they were brainstorming ways to provide free services to families impacted by the government shutdown and suspension of SNAP benefits. They even reminded me that we missed their annual Halloween block party, where they shut down the street, host food trucks, bounce houses, a DJ, and create a safe trick-or-treating experience for kids. While they may not have formal academic training in special needs care, Shawn, Sam, Chris, and the entire Proper Cuts team have done a phenomenal job meeting my family exactly where we are. Their kindness, patience, and genuine care have made Proper Cuts more than just a barber shop! Proper Cuts is a part of our family. We refuse to go anywhere else, and I promise you will too.

I really like this place! Ray is my son's barber, and he does an amazing job every single time. He…read morealways listens to what we want, he takes his time, and makes sure we're happy with the cut. The cost is very reasonable, and he's always open to feedback, which I truly appreciate. Thank you, Ray, for all your hard work. Andres appreciates it, and so do I!

Phillip is great and super accomodating! The venue is also relaxing and close to a few cafes.read more

Even better, he is patient and takes the time to explain different methods and all of the fun insights behind different hair looks you can achieve. Also he makes recommendations to point you in the right direction, including other stylists at the salon that specialize in certain things. Highly recommend!

Leaving Barbers Inc today with an experience the wasn't the greatest. My two teen boys are going…read moreback to school Monday so I booked two appointments online. Their online booking allows to book two appointments at once by "adding a guest" in your order. I booked for 5 & 5:30pm. However, I guess it doesn't show up as two appointments on the Barbers end. So only one of my boys was able to get his hair cut. It was the end of the day, they had locked up and were looking to go home for the day. I was offered to come back the following day however I have a full day and don't live anywhere near by. It's a little inconvenient to have to come back. Maybe this is an issue in their system they should look into fixing. Additionally, my son who did receive a haircut was pretty upset. He showed a picture, in the photo the haircut is faded sideburns, length kept all over with a line up. The barber took hair off the sides and back and only left the length on the top. My son is attempting to grow his hair out which is why he wanted to keep the length all over. The haircut is good, the fade is on point and the line up is clean, it just wasn't the haircut he wanted.

My wife is a hairstylist and has been cutting my hair for the past five years, so you could say…read moreI've been pretty spoiled. Recently, though, I'd been growing my hair out for about a month and she flat-out refused to cut it. Instead, she told me to find a barber. I'm convinced it was a little revenge, since I refused to cut my hair the week before--which also happened to be our 5th anniversary of dating (and 2 years of marriage). We went to a nice restaurant... and I wore a beanie. Not my finest moment. That's how I ended up booking a same-day appointment with Chuy on 12/23/25, grabbing his last slot at 5:45 PM. I work in Cupertino and got off at 5:15 PM, so I knew timing would be tight. I texted Chuy ahead of time to let him know I might be about 15 minutes late and asked if he could still take me. He was super accommodating and moved my appointment to 6:00 PM. Traffic still got me, and I arrived about 3 minutes late, but Chuy was totally cool about it. He listened to exactly what I wanted, took his time, and absolutely delivered. When he was done, I looked like a completely new person. Great experience overall--professional, flexible, and clearly skilled at his craft. Highly recommend Chuy if you're looking for a solid barber who knows what he's doing.

I had an appointment with Brian for a haircut and texted him around 6:39 AM letting him know my job…read morecalled me in early. I also called the shop, but no one answered, and I never got a response to my text. I was trying to reschedule for tomorrow at 9 AM, but instead I was charged a no-show fee. That's extremely frustrating, especially since I made an effort to communicate and couldn't get a response from the shop. Definitely not the customer service I expected.

It's clear that he takes pride in his work and pays close attention to detail. Not only is he skilled, but he's also professional and easy to talk to, which makes every visit comfortable and enjoyable. It's hard to find a barber you can truly trust, but Raymond has definitely earned that trust. I always leave the chair feeling confident and looking my best. Highly recommend Raymond to anyone looking for a reliable and talented barber!

Came in with some inspo pics (Hudson Williams, 90s Keanu, Jackie Chan shag vibes). Rich was very patient and knowledgeable, he indulged my questions about everything. We made a game plan on how to trim and layer my hair and what I was going for. I LOVE THE RESULTS. It's literally the kind of style I want to effortlessly have but can rarely achieve bc mi hair soy super Asian (kapow!). I'm so glad I did it (finally) and looking forward to enjoying it. Highly recommend!
