The place is magical! It's like stepping into a Time Machine and going back to the 1950's and 1960's. The decor is classy and a masterpiece ! The entire time I kept staring at all the photos on the wall which mind you weren't two or three! There were so many pictures that you don't feel the time while getting a haircut! The guy who cut my hair was super nice and professional! Gave a lot of tips and recommendations on how should I take care of my hair. Service was top notch! I kept saying your store looks amazing but he said it's not mine it's the manager's whom I forgot her name and there was someone else so I thought she was the manager and she said the same thing lol The manager was in the office, maybe she heard me or maybe not. read more

Torque Hair Shoppe - Barbers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Hair Shoppe isn't a. Barbershop. Soo, if you are looking for a Barber make sure you ask before you take a seat OR you may be getting a Beautician read more

This shop is fuckin' cool. Super comfortable and chill. My husband's haircut came out clean and he looks so handsome!! This guy's new haircut is going to get me pregnant! read more

Tip before you go: If you pay cash they give you a $5 discount. They don't tell you this though upfront or advertise it anywhere though. So bring cash. Also make sure you know what you want before entering. They do not do straight-razor work. Overall: Friendly service, very clean facility, with an okay haircut. I'm new to the area and have been trying out different barbers all over Sacramento to find the right fit. Was recommended to Torque by a few friends and I liked the idea of supporting small businesses owned by women. Checked out their website online to find out more and booked an appointment. Parking around the store was easy to find, plenty of residential areas with 2-hour parking. When I walked into the store, I was greeted a few minutes after the two women, Jen and Dee were done cleaning up. Dee ended up cutting my hair and was friendly the entire time. She also made sure to ask questions about how I wanted my hair every time she saw fit, which can be nice. In the end, I ended up with an okay haircut. I was satisfied but it really wasn't anything out-of-this-world to make me love it. No shade to her skills as a hairdresser though. I think what threw me for a loop is finding out that the hair cut was actually $35 vs $30 as advertised on their website. When Dee told me that it was because I was paying with card, it annoyed me a bit since I did ask them before hand if they took card and received no reply. I ended up paying a total of $42 since I decided to leave her a decent tip anyways. In the end, I don't think I will come back here mainly because I personally didn't find them that great. There has been other hairdressers/barbers in the area that charge around the same price for better service and haircuts. But if you like the Rockabilly, retro-garage feel, go for it! I'm sure they're better a better shop for other people. read more

Was a really great place to go. Me an my son got our haircut while we were visiting Sacramento. We didn't really have an exact style we wanted but the stylist were very helpful with helping us find a style that we liked. The music was really great. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Had an amazing time getting my haircut by Dee! Loved the shop and friendly service! I loved the Rockabilly decor and feel of the decor. It was super easy to make an appointment. read more

It's a haircut. Let's not over think this. Jennifer's been at it 20 plus years. For my old scalp, it was 10 minutes and out the door. She it's now been cutting my hair for over two years and I couldn't ask for more. She does a great job and is very quick, which is important to me because I need to get onto the next thing. I'd recommend her to anyone without hesitation.. Convenient neighborhood location - but be forewarned! The meter maids are out with a vengeance. Make sure you're legally parked. $20 for short hair, ask for a discount if you're over 62? 64? Can't remember anymore, I must be getting close. This is definitely better than the haircut I took in real estate the past few years!! read more

First time customer: Great high fade cut! Spacious, bright interior, nice music selections and interesting music industry artifacts to discover. Friendly and courteous staff and service. Very happy with Torque! read more

We LOVE this place. Our whole family comes here for haircuts and we always leave happy.

I'm a long-time client of Torque. I stumbled upon them via a past Yelp review and before the shop was named Torque. I mainly see Jen but the stylist are all nice. The shop is always clean and has a terrific vibe. Parking is pretty easy. I'm choosing to write this review now because of the need to support local businesses. Torque is practicing safe guidelines. In visiting Torque, I don't feel one bit concerned about the virus. They are taking safety guidelines 100% seriously. Listen to some rockabilly, talk drums and get a terrific haircut. read more

Got a quick cut during my lunch break. The business décor is AMAZING!!! (they sell key chains, earrings and necklaces there too, super adorable). Anyways, the cut I had was a short bob with a razor cut, an edgy look. The stylist did an amazing job, always checking with me to make sure it was what I wanted. She was nice, quick, and professional. I will definitely come back in a month or two during lunch break again!! I recommend this spot; affordable as well. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place . Great haircut courtesy of Dee, very friendly vibe and a great overall experience. I have definitely found my new go to spot . Thanks again Dee, you rock. read more

My previous barber retired after cutting my hair for almost 15 years, and I was very nervous about trying a new place. Now I've found it! Dee did a wonderful job, and asked for my input at every step, giving me exactly the cut I needed. Great experience (while following COVID protocols safely) and affordable ($35 for a women's trim). read more

I'm so happy I have stop by at Torque hair Shoppe to do my hair. And the first thing when I stepped to the door I see my favorite Barbers Johnnie and Richie smiling in great mood like always. Thank you Johnnie and see you two weeks from now. You guys made my day :) Sebastian read more

Came in for the first time almost a month ago with the desire for a change from the norm. I had the idea of short sides and longer on top, when Noah suggested a pompadour. Unsure but willing to try, I went for it. It turned out great, albeit the top being a little on the short side from before the cut. I totally loved it. Just came in today for a clean up as my hair's grown in a little more. Noah cleaned up the neckline, buzzed the sides with a 1 clipper, and cleaned up the right side a little bit and it turned out great if I do say so myself. I completely love the new hairstyle, as the volume on top combed back fits my round-shaped head very well. I'm 100% satisfied with the end product and am stoked to say that I've found my new barber in town. read more

Overall the haircut was good but what brings it down to the score is the overall vibe. I've came here awhile ago and liked that vibe . So I decided to come back... ahh man .. I don't know if the ladies that work there we're having a bad day but I felt very uncomfortable and i was inches from getting up off my chair and leaving but she started cutting. Very fake feeling , animated ,short fused and just an overall mood killer. Was having a good day and now I feel like I caught whatever they were giving I feel agitated now.. read more

Thank you Jen for saving the day! My poor stepson suffered from WHS- wrong haircut syndrome. We needed a remedy stat. He wanted his usual retro cut: short with slightly longer bangs combed up and to the side, somewhat like an "Ivy League" style. Poor kid ended up with a grandpa side part comb over :-( We were at a different shop for the younger stepson, and I should have known better than to cheat on Jen for the older kid's cut, but we went ahead anyways. Sure enough his hair didn't turn out like he wanted, and I wasn't going to let him mope around the rest of the weekend. Thankfully Jen was open and working that morning to correct the miscommunication. Ten minutes later he walked out beaming from ear to ear and actually strutted a bit. Hubs has been getting his hair cut from Jen for 5+ years, and the oldest stepson followed along. Next time I'll remember to take a pic. They're very easy to find, and parking isn't too bad. There's plenty of small shops and restaurants around to kill time while the kids get their cuts or after your cut is finished. Definitely check them out! PS Torque has NOT moved permanently!!! They temporarily relocated due to construction at this site. They plan on returning to 3716 J Street hopefully in July 2014 whoo hoo!

Been going to Jen for years. I trust her so much that I feel I can tell her if she missed a wild hair and she patiently finds the offender and corrects it. I likely drive her nutty but she's kind enough to not make me feel too guilty. I really love the way Torque does men's hair styles. I love the diverse age ranges when I come in too, from kiddos to octogenarians they all love a good cut & style. If my poor hubby wasn't bald he'd be coming here too. Once I thought I'd "splurge" and get a $65.00 at a popular salon on J St, yeah, my bad, I had to go to Jen a few days later to fix it. When I tried to talk to the first salon I got so much attitude I just left. I can spend 1/3 of the price and get 100% better service 100% of the time at Torque. Honestly that's the better type of a splurge if you ask me, being good to yourself, your pocketbook and supporting a local business. *BAM* -mic drop read more

So, my 11 yr old son wanted a 'Pompadour' hair cut. My guess was this was not a job for Supercuts. So I began looking around Yelp of course. I found Eddy's Deluxe which had amazing reviews and seemed to really know their Pompadours! So we headed down there to see Jen. Once we got there, we found out that it is now Torque. I had read about Jen and Richie and they were both there but I do not know about the rest of the staff. We were greeted by a lovely smiling red head so that was a great start! (Us red heads stick together) She got Drake a booster and had my little rag-a-muffin boy hop up into Jen's chair. They discussed what he wanted and without hesitation began buzzing off his long hair. I loved that she was confident enough to dive in! I had almost forgotten those big brown eyes were under that mess of surfer dude hair! He got exactly what he wanted and oh-ma-gosh...he looks so cute. Grandma cried when we stopped by her house afterwards and Grandpa whipped out his wallet and handed the boy a 10! Score! I also had Jen cut my hair. My hair was almost to my butt, scraggly and fried. I told her to chop it off and after she made sure of short I wanted it, again she began chopping with confidence. I have always grown my hair long and I swear it terrifies most stylists to cut it! She did a really good job and I am extremely happy with mine and Drake's hair cuts! Even though we don't live super close, I will continue to jump on the freeway and drive to Torque! The shop was nice and clean. Cute seats and the other customers were pretty friendly too. I wish them luck with their new business! read more

Okay here's the deal, Baby D has been doing my hair for years, and even after all this time she asks me what I want to do as far as length, color, style so forth, which I really appreciate because sometimes I like to switch up my look. Every cut is a good cut and she knows how to do the edgier styles as well. She's not afraid to offer her opinion on what would be the most flattering look for me. Here's where it gets even better. Baby D is also a very talented make up artist and has done my make up for special occasions. If you want high glam or everyday sexy you can count on her to work her magic and having you look and feel your best. Call Baby D and tell her JT sent you. read more

Ladies, if you want proper "Bettie bangs" come here and ask for Jennifer or baby doll. Also the only proper place in NorCal for a man to get a decent Pompadour. Love this joint, used to drive up from San Fran, now we live in Colorado and miss these gals like crazy! read more

I decided to check this place out based on other yelp reviewers. I am low maintenance and not too picky when it comes to hair, but I was nervous to go from long to short hair. However, Jennifer gave me confidence that she would do a good job because she actually took the time to listen and see the picture of how I wanted my hair to look like. After cutting my hair, Jennifer gave me tips of how to style my hair and make it look more like the hair style on the picture. The following day, I did as she advised me, and my hair looked as I imagined, amazing! I love, love, love my new look. This place is golden--the price was right and Jennifer was fantastic!!!!! I will definitely continue coming to this place for a hair cut/trim. This is a walk-in only hair shoppe, which was really convenient because I decided to cut my hair the night before and in my impulsive decision, I tried calling several other places but they were all booked. Haircuts for ladies start at $20.00, which is much more affordable than other places, and they do a great job! read more

I'm brand new to Sacramento and i've been cutting my own hair for six years now; but that all stopped when I went to this barbershop today. I had Baby D as my stylist and I got a gentleman's cut. I was really surprised that she was able to pull this off because I have thick, straight Asian hair. Now I can look like all those clean-cut hipster dudes... Without the mustache because I couldn't grow one if I tried. The value is also great so I'll be going back frequently for my haircuts from now on. read more

It's a little unusual for a barbershop to employ great apes, but I swear to god I got the best haircut a chimpanzee has ever done the other day. His name was Noah and he likes camping. Now, it's true there are no three hour lines, and very few skinny-jeaned lumberjacks at this place, so if that's your thing I suggest going elsewhere. Also if you're looking for a muddled artisan cocktail you will be disappointed. Because this is a barber shop, people. If, however, you are in the market for friendly, funny, happy employees and management, short wait times, and an inexpensive, expert haircut, Torque is your destination. I have been going there since they opened and have never had anything short of a high quality experience. On the rare occasions I can force my hippie children into cutting off their mangy birdnests the ladies and gentlemen at Torque are patient, professional, and kind. Top marks. read more

Love this shop. This shop is excellent. My 16yr son loves going here and won't let me take him anywhere else!!

First chair gives a great haircut, don't know his name but I think he's the only male barber , best haircut I've had in a long time and they have a senior discount, I have a new barber read more

Been to this place a few times and it is great!! Got a haircut and a beard trim recently and I have received numerous compliments on both the hair and the beard. This place is a hidden gem in Sac. Never disappoints...Love this place. read more

This is more of a review for Richie and Johnnie, both of whom are amazing barbers. I'm Asian and in college I learned that not everyone is stellar at cutting Asian hair, in fact most people mess it up. I've had my hair cut by both Richie and Johnnie and would highly recommend them. They recently joined the crew at Torque but I didn't know and went into a slight panic after I went to where they were before and then started thinking about having to find a new barber. Call it misguided priorities, but I would rather lose my doctor or dentist than have to replace one of these guys. Thanks for always doing a great job and I love the new shop. read more

Great shop in the heart of East Sac. Cool barbers and fun atmosphere. Johnnie has cut my hair twice now and I'll probably continue to go back just for him. He pays attention to detail and is very thorough. I highly recommend. read more

I was a little intimidated by the rockabilly decor when I walked by the shop a few times before, but I went in today and was welcomed by very courteous staff. Richie probably gave me what will go down in my personal history as the best haircut I've ever had. No joke. 100% the best cut I've ever had. read more

I personally have been going to Jen for the past 7 years or so and have never been disappointed. This spot has the same chill barbershop feel as Floyds in Mayberry. Always good music and good conversations. I highly recommend them. read more

Don't even go in the door. Walked in to literally just get my hair touched up a bit, I get it cut every 2 weeks at Great Clips but thought I should be altruistic today and support a local business around the block. Boy was I wrong. Upon entering 35 minutes before close I walked in and greeted a short overweight woman across the shop. She was obviously incensed that she might have to stand up and do some work and yelled "whaddya want!?" Still at the threshold of the business I proceeded to yell back "just a touch up" "Just a touch up or a haircut is they're 2 different things you know!" *still in her chair across the business* "Never mind have a great day" Go here if you're a hotrod aesthetic person that deals with these kinds of crusty women on the reg. Im gonna just keep hitting up the Asian guy at great clips on Folsom read more

Love the feel of this shop! I would recommend Richie to anyone needing an amazing haircut. He cuts with precision and has a friendly attitude. This is my go to place whenever I need a trim! read more
