I called the week before to make an appointment and was told to use a certain website to book. So I followed instructions and booked an appointment online. Showed up at the time of my appointment and there was no one there. I waited about 20 minutes just to give them the benefit of the doubt of running late and still no one showed up. A friend of mine had the same problem a few months back and I should've listened to their advice. Don't bother with this place read more

This review is for Anthony. He cuts my toddlers hair and let me tell you-that is a bear of a task! My son had never felt comfortable getting his haircut. He used to cry, kick, scream...and be terrified of the clipper sound! Until I took him to Anthony. The first time was the usual tantrum. The 2nd time, a little less squirming and crying. The 4th time, my son barely moved and not one tear was shed! Anthony is super gentle and patient. My boy loves him and I won't take him anywhere else except to Anthony at the Gentlemens Room! I highly recommend this shop-all the barbers are great! And I get my haircut there as well! read more

Ish (owner operator) is great. Personable and talented. The shop needs some TLC but that aside no complaints. My son is fearful of the "buzzer" and figits a bit but Ish is patient and always does a great cut. See photos of my adorable son ** accepts debit ** ** appointment only. read more

This is the the best place to find good successful men who have earned a living on their feet all day and have established good clients who have supported their career. Its very friendly family oriented and you can always count on a good movie while you wait even play a game of pool, shoot craps for fun, beverages are available , massage chair and great conversation. They even have chores for some looking to make a little cash for the day. I am very honored to have met these fine men and be apart of the chores they've had for me when I needed a little extra cash. Thanks. read more

John is the best!! So happy he's back, the only one who gets my sons hair RIGHT all the time. These gentlemen are professional! read more

Haircut was whack and in the finished product you could tell the barber was not fully engaged in his craft. His attention was more on conversing with his staff read more

Great haircut, got exactly what I wanted no extra bs. Anthony cut my hair and was fast. Great price too. Will be back

We fell on this place by accident, but it wouldn't have hurt us to have missed it either. Went in with the husband for a routine haircut. We normally go to Bob's or this place in San Francisco, but we decided to give it a try. I was shellshocked when I saw my husband's head. He asked for a fade and they shaved his head. They left a bit on the top and the line was great but what happened to his hair? Maybe communication was lost somewhere I don't know, but they even cut his head. Bad clippers? This place is not bad at all, the ambiance was quaint, they were polite and greeted us on the spot. The barbers were all welcoming engaging in conversation as any normal shop would, and if we are in need of another haircut we might give them a second shot. MIGHT. read more

This is the busiest barber I know and very well respected by his clients that some he's know all of there life. I enjoy just sitting and listening to stories, watching a movie,or even shooting a game of pool. I do a little shopping cleaning at time to time and I thank you Ish for all the time you let me spend there. read more

The Gentleman's Room Barber Shop - Stray Cat Strut for the Gentlemans Room on the corner of First and Parker in Rodeo, CA - Barbers Near Me - Rodeo, California

Tucked away in the Creekside Shopping Center, one of only three in the entire city. The shop has a trendy appearance and appears not be very involved in the Hercules community, but not any worse than most of the business in the city that just collect revenues and don't create ,support or engage community programs, such as the arts, education, senior, etc. Seems to be the Hercules way. Anyway a nice place for a cut or groom, as all shop only as good as your favorite individual barber or stylist. read more

I had an excellent experience. Very accommodating environment. Comfortable recliners and a massage chair! Pool table for your entertainment was a very nice touch. They also have cold and hot beverages. I absolutely recommend this very chill spot! It was so nice that I even stuck around to play some pool after my haircut which definitely was above my expectations! Great job Gents! read more

I heard about this place through a friend several years ago and have been getting my haircut here ever since. Ish is the barber I always book an appointment with and he delivers a nice and fresh cut every time. I always make an appointment through schedulicity a week or two ahead of time because slots go fast. Everyone is friendly and i love that people just drop in to visit and chat. read more

Was not satisfied with my haircut. Dont come here if you want to look sharp. Mediocre cuts here.

I just moved to the area so I turned to yelp for a legit barber shop... This is not the place if you plan to have hair longer than 2cm.. I USED TO style my hair with the dapper combover part but now I have no idea what I'm going to do.. It was obvious from the gates that the OG cutting my hair had no idea what he was doing.. He didn't even use the spray bottle to wet my hair.. Even worse, another barber had to step in cuz he knew he was already fckin up.. Be professional.. If you don't know what you are doing, tell me.. There is no room for "practice" on a paying customer... Worst haircut in years... read more

I took my son to get a haircut here from Anthony. He was quick started on time and did a good job.

I've been getting haircuts from my mom for awhile now and as much as I enjoy the price (free) I don't necessarily enjoy the quality. Figured I'd give The Gentleman's Room a shot since they're local and their online scheduling system was easy to use. When I got there, I was impressed by the clean interior and how prepared Ish was for when I arrived. Ish was also very friendly and cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I definitely highly recommend The Gentleman's Room for anybody located around the Hercules area. read more

I visit Ish every Week. This man's barbershop is what you'd want in one. The name speaks for itself!

I've been cut by the rest and settled on the best!! Doesn't matter what seat you sit down in, you're always gonna get up satisfied with your cut. Lines, fades, shaves...doesn't matter, they'll definitely take care of you!! read more

I've been getting my haircut done at the Gentlemans Room for a couple years now. They just moved out of Hercules into Rodeo and as it's a new shop there is still remodeling to be done to the place as they haven't quite settled in yet. With that said, I ONLY let John touch my hair. He always knows how to cut it right without me even needing to say anything. I trust him touch my hair and making it look nice. He's very chill and will make any hair cut experience go super fast & smooth always stirring up conversation. Just a great place and guy. read more

This is one of the best barbershops in the Bay Area. The entire staff are excellent Barbers. The atmosphere is friendly and open to conversation on any given topic. I went to Ed, an old school exceptional barber from New Iberia, LA who cut my hair just the way I liked it without having to be told step by step. He took his time took a little off to ensure that the cut would be right to give himself room for correction instead of diving right in and taking too much off. This my third barber shop since moving to the bay area in 10 years as I am loyal to my barbers and only trust a few. This shop is the best in the bay for quality, service and affordability. Appointments or walk ins are treated the same and given the same professional service without an afterthought. Give this place a chance you won't be disappointed!!!! Thanks Ish, Ed, John, Kevin and Mo. read more

Heard about the shop from my friends and made an appointment with John online, super simple process. Came in at my scheduled time and got one of the freshest cuts I've ever gotten. Would definitely recommend this shop to my other friends and will be coming back for future cuts. read more

This place does not accept credit cards whatsoever. There are no ATM locations nearby. Despite this small salon being in a desert-remote area, I can't come up with any benefits of coming to this salon. Cuts are over-priced. Business is shady because I get charged different prices each time I come. The freaky thing is that the owner Ish is the one that charges me differently each time. By the way, he expects a tip. read more

Went to The Gentleman's Room over ten years ago and haven't tried to a new shop since.....no need to. It's a relaxing laid back environment with welcoming service. Ish and John are professionals who are able to cut all types of hair. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Ish and John for years. I've have tried other shops around the area, they don't compare in quality to this shop. Highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Best barbershop in the East Bay. Incredible service and very professional. Both Ish and John are great barbers.

I always go to this barber shop. Ask for John! Hes fast, reliable and always has perfect cuts. I wouldnt go to anybody else. The shop is furnished to relax, always nice place to be, a pool table and everybody is always friendly. Ask for John to get you lookin right! read more

A haircut says so much about an individual, your style, your character, as well as personality. And being that I work in a professional setting, it was key that I found a barber/stylist that I could not only rely on but does an impeccable job. That being said my barber/stylist John Solis is that man! Every cut i received was top notch and overall fresh. John is a man that takes his time (without being slow), very precise in giving me the style i wanted ever time. I don't even need to look in the mirror after my cut due to my supreme confidence in his abilities. Not only is John a master barber, but he is also very personable and great company. Hes always active in engaging conversation and has an infectious personality. I've never had a scheduling problem with him as he is very accommodating to the flexibility of my schedule. It saddens me that John is relocating to SoCal, I will definitely miss his business. SoCal is very lucky to have acquired such a talented professional. read more

Yes, it's called the Gentlemen's Room, but I am a woman and I won't go anywhere else for a haircut! Ish (the owner) listens to what I want, helps me decide what would be best for my hair type and lifestyle, and always makes me feel comfortable. The prices are amazing, and the atmposphere is both relaxed and professional. The whole family is welcome here and will be well taken care of. read more
