I went there yesterday (Wednesday). The sign in the window said "Yes We Are Open" but the sign on door said "CLOSED, will be back at 2:20. So, I went shopping next door and waited until 2:45. Still closed. Stuff happens, I know. maybe an emergency. whatever, they lost a customer and another shop got a new one. I've been cutting my own hair for almost thirty years and thought (at 76) maybe I should let a pro take a shot at it. Trimming the neck and back using mirrors is a real pain for me. I don't judge them, for all I know I may have missed a sign that said Closed Wednesdays. read more

Ever since I moved to Fallbrook 4 months ago, I've been coming to this barbershop. One could almost miss it due to it's location being, literally, in the corner of a business strip. When I first stepped in, I was greeted kindly and promptly by the owner and some customers. A very "small-town" feel about it and it directly reflected the hospitality of the community. The interior decor is a mashup of customer photos, personal fishing excursion shots, modern and local artwork and even some hip dolls and action figures. Unique!!! Totally cool! and I love the "fun" and "relaxed" feel you get being there. There are magazines for readers and also 2 tv's for sports-lovers or those who like the news. But I've honestly never waited long enough to take advantage of either. I particularly like the hairstyle scaling chart that is posted on the wall; I simply point out the hairstyle I want and the barber hooks me up. The barbers there are very skilled in their craft and are familiar with cutting different hair-types; regardless of ethnic or racial texture. Make sure to call ahead to confirm availability and wait times and also bring cash. Great place to get groomed!! read more

This review is for the braider Carmen Williams. She is perhaps the most ignorant and ghetto person I have come across. She got bent out of shape because I didn't tip her even though she charges $100 for a 2-3 hour hair service that's like $30-$50 an hour. She didn't like detangling my hair and instead of telling me she would have to charge an extra fee she let me drive 40 minutes to the shop just to say oh I'm busy and last time you did a no call no show when in actuality I sent her a message on StyleSeat to reschedule and showed her the message and it clearly was marked read; she's a liar and con artist. Her work station is a mess too with ripped up chairs and very unclean looking tools. There's definitely something wrong with this chic. She went on to message me saying I'm cheap and an old lady and mind you I'm in my late 30's. This person just gives me the creeps. Lastly her work isn't that great she's definitely not the best braider or clean one. read more

Pros: - Outstanding haircuts by experienced barbers - Inexpensive haircuts for active duty military personnel - No waiting if you have an appointment - Inexpensive energy drinks while you wait - Two or more small TVs, one in the waiting area, and at least one in front of a barber chair, usually tuned to sports AND music videos (They take requests.) - Lots of other shops in the shopping center - Friendly conversational barbers - My barbers did exactly what I asked of them - Their cute friendly dog sometimes hangs out in the shop Cons: - Closed on Thursdays - Slightly more expensive civilian haircuts than at least one other barber shop in Fallbrook - Crazy busy parking lot - Sometimes long wait times, especially on Sundays - Their cute friendly dog sometimes hangs out in the shop (if you have allergies) I've been getting my hair cut here for over two years now. The three barbers who have cut my hair are very good: Lucy, Carlos, and Tom. They all do excellent Marine regulation and civilian fades. (Carlos does an outstanding razor line-out.) read more

I have been away from Fallbrook for 13 years and am trying to find a barbershop that I like. This is the second place that i have tried; for me changing barbers is worse than changing doctors. Shop is small and appears to be a family owned/operated shop. Tom, the owner (?), cut my hair. It was satisfactory, but not spectacular. I will try his son (a Marine veteran) next time and then the daughter-in-law(?). Sixteen dollars (16) seems a little steep for me. I know of at least two other places in town that charge $11. read more

Sunset Barber Shop is hands down one of the best barber shops I've been to. They still use a warm towel at the end, which is rare now-a-days. Lucy and Carlos are very good at what they do. Come here if you want a rock solid haircut and friendly folks. They cater towards our US Military members and provide awesome haircuts for civilians as well. read more

We will be going to Sunset from now on! My son got an awesome cut and the people there were so nice. Put on his favorite song for him and chatted with him the whole time. My son said he wants to go back to "Happy" for every haircut read more

Sunset Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Fallbrook, California

These guys do really great fades. They are expensive for a military cut - about $15 where as many other places you can get one for about 10. Otherwise, this is a great little barbershop. Lucy is great and is one of the few barbers that takes appointments if you desire. read more

If your looking for a quality shop this is the place to go. The fades are great and the customer service is Awesome.

The young couple that runs Sunset Barber shop are friendly and know how to cut hair. The prices are great, in and out in 15 minutes. They even have a cute Barber Shop dog that greets the customers. read more

If you're getting your hair cut somewhere else, you're doing it wrong. Sunset is owned and operated by the sort of passionate professionals you want to keep doing business with. I've been getting my hair cut here ever since they opened three years ago, and I'm dreading the day I have to move away and get my hair cut at some other, lesser barber shop. read more

I went there for the first time on tuesday. Was very pleaed with customer service and the quality of my haircut. Very laid back place. soccer on the tv and reggae in the background. Told the barber i would be returning. Price is a little bit more expensive than what i am used to paying in oceanside, but that is expected. read more

After getting faded for the past 3 years im very sad that im getting stationed somewhere else... They always took care of me every sunday... Thanks for all the skin fades, talks and advise on buying a home..... Now I have a home thanks to your mentorship.... read more

Great job, little wait time, and very friendly operators. TV everywhere, a/c, and good magazines. $20.00 bucks well spent! Thank you gang!

I went in there with easy and specific instructions. Just a basic buzz all the way around. The barber took it upon himself to cut my sides shorter and fade into the top when I specifically told him not to. When I confronted him on it (even though it was too late by the point) he told me it would look better the way he was doing it. I told him that wasn't what I wanted. When I was obviously frustrated he said "you having a bad day bro?" He never really apologized for not following instructions. It's one thing to make a mistake, those happen. But when you purposefully do not follow a customers request it's a different issue entirely. I will never go back. Also $20 for a 10 minute haircut is nuts. read more

I am beyond disappointed with the haircut I received here today. I don't understand how the man that cut my hair has his license, he left my hair with so many different lengths. Didn't bother to blend, of the SOLID lines for the fade... & never once turned my chair so that I could see how my hair was being cut. He spent about 20 mins max on the entire thing for it to turn out bad. I'm even more disappointed because I had a huge event, to attend to early morning tomorrow, & the fact that I have to wear a hat over his "work" just saddens me so much. I'm usually very nice about the haircuts I receive but he definitely did NOT take his time, did not bother to ask at any point in time if the haircut was coming out ok... just sat , cut, paid & left. I will never be going to this place again. the other barbers that work at this location do a very nice job at getting to know the client and asking many questions about what you want done. I'm hoping he see's this because you deserve to have that license revoked. good day to y'all thanks for nothing. read more

We stopped in to get my Son a haircut, He was told to go somewhere else that they didn't cut hair like my sons. When my Son came back and told me I couldn't believe it soI sent my other Son in with him and he came back and said "Nope they refused to cut his hair" " They said maybe someone else might do it down the street." There wasn't anything I can do about it at the time, but I can warn others that this is the way this shop does business. Yes this is a free country, but that same freedom goes both ways. This is my freedom and your freedom you have been told how we were treated, it's up to you whether you want to be treated like we were read more

Lucy has been cutting my sons hair for over a year. She always has great suggestions and superior customer service. Love this place!

By far the best haircuts I have gotten. Great service always and being able to make an appointment is great. Price is perfect. Lucy does a great job and I am always satisfied with my cut. Wish I would have found them earlier. Hot towels make all the difference after your cut. Thanks Lucy! read more

Lucy is phenomenal. I have been a customer at Sunset Barber Shop for the past 4 years, and I highly recommend coming here for a military or civilian cut. read more

Sunset barbershop is truly the best! Great customer service and top quality cuts from professional barbers. I have been getting haircuts at Sunset barbershop for years and have always been satisfied by the quality of their work. Top notch shop for sure!!! read more

This place is, exactly what I was looking for. While I am young male looking for the kind-of new, edgy, stylin' haircut,, I can honestly say this place is for everyone of all ages. The owners(a bubbling and beautiful married couple) KNOW hair; I mean they know hair. I didn't know how I wanted to look and I came out fresh, lined up, and looking exactly how I like. The owners wife also is really great with just regular trim-ups and hair cuts, as she likes to put her own flair into things. Carlos the owner is just passionate about what he does, and loves it; what more can you ask? They are friendly, have refreshments, prices are good, and they are happy to help you lose a couple inches off your head :). Definitely recommend if you want to look fresh or just a good haircut. read more

This is the first barber shop I tried after moving to Fallbrook nearly two years ago. Never had to try another because the owners are great. Good value for money so glad to reward them with five stars. read more

I've gotten haircuts in salons in Beverly Hills, L.A., Orange County and gotten poor haircuts regardless of the cost. Even my last haircut at another Fallbrook barber was a disaster. So l tried Sunset because of the reviews and got a phenomenal cut from Carlos. He used mostly scissors and took his time even though people were waiting. This last time Lucy did my hair and it it beat even Carlos' job, even though I would still be happy with a cut from him. But how could I go back after perfection? At my age, I need to wear better clothes, drink the best craft beer and go to Sunset for Lucy to cut my hair. Bravo. read more

I have made Sunset Barber Shop my regular barber shop now. I have been for a total of 5 times at this point and got to say that I always get great service and a great cut. They will get busy on Sunday's, and are usually able to accommodate you within 20 minutes or so (this is when they are really busy). I will keep coming back to Sunset!! read more

My son received the worst hair cut from Sunset Barber Shop. The front and sides were uneven, the back wasn't straight. Overall, it was a mess and we received numerous comments asking "who cut his hair??" Needless to say, we won't be coming back. Very disappointing. read more

This is the slowest and most awful barber shop I've ever been too, without a doubt. I've had cuts that are 3 times as good done in half the time read more

Always get a great haircut here, my hair takes extra maintenance, but lucy and Carlos always do an excellent job and they always take their time to ensure they do a great job best barber shop I ever been to. read more

I would highly recommend this shop especially with kids my son loves getting his hair cut there by Lucy she is great with the little ones!!!!! read more

It was the best cut I have gotten in years. This place is a true barber shop. I will go there again.
