Was seen quickly and my barber Henry gave me a great cut. Got a nice med skin fade. He always checked how I wanted it done and if I like how it was while cutting. At the end got a warm lather razer clean up. Got the hot towel and slight next shoulder massage. Great customer service from him and the rest of the staff. Good conversation and good people. My suggestion is try to make an appointment for a cut because as soon as I was done people were waiting. This will be my go to place now. Will keep recommending this place.

My sons and I have been coming to PP Cut 'N' Shave Barber Shop since Chris and Vee opened, and it's…read morebeen our go-to barbershop ever since. Chris keeps me looking sharp every time. I'm constantly getting asked who cuts my hair, and the answer is always Chris. What really sets them apart is the full barbershop experience -- clean fades, precise razor line-ups, hot towels, beard trims, and a cut that's dialed in before you leave the chair. Chris and Vee have built a great shop with a welcoming, neighborhood vibe and real craftsmanship. The fact that my sons and I all come here says everything. If you want a sharp haircut, clean beard trim, and a true barbershop experience, this is the place. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Pappy's Barbershop…read more I recently brought my elderly father in for a haircut without an appointment, fully expecting that we might have to come back another day. Instead, the owner personally welcomed us, took the time to fit my dad in, and treated him with genuine kindness and respect. What truly touched me was his generosity. After giving my father a great haircut, the owner refused to charge us. That level of compassion and thoughtfulness is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. The haircut looked fantastic, but what stood out even more was the way he treated my dad. He made him feel comfortable, valued, and cared for, and that meant a lot to our family. It's clear that for the owner, this business is about more than just cutting hair--it's about treating people with dignity and kindness. Thank you for going above and beyond. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and will absolutely be back. I highly recommend Pappy's Barbershop to anyone looking for excellent service from an owner who truly cares about his customers. Thank you again for your compassion and generosity!

Great work Clayton, I appreciate you!…read more I've had long hair for months and wanted to clean up and feel good. I looked through some barbershops and found Pappy's in Poway. I made an appointment yesterday and got my cut today. When I walked in, I was offered a drink, some snacks, and a place to sit. Waited just a few moments for Clayton and we got started. I did request that we have a short consult before the haircut and I made sure I came early. They're pretty booked up. I asked for Clayton's opinion, he gave it, and I agreed. It wasn't rushed and he took time to understand what I wanted. And then he delivered! The shop is kept cool, clean, and comfortable. Thanks again guys!

I have been following my hair sensei, the wonderful Alexis, for almost five years now and could not recommend her more. She is an artist in hair and style and promotes the most positive and bright aura that I've experienced from a person. If you take your hair and style seriously, want a sick fade, are ready to experiment with color, need highlights, or just have a picture of what you want, she is the lady to go to. She is awesome. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment before someone sees you with your hair prior to her work!
