do not go here if you do make sure you don't go to nick. he's super unprofessional and couldn't do a simple fade. on top of that tells me he doesn't have time to do what i want. then he proceeded to imply that i didn't pay on venmo bc in 2025 they don't have a card reader. left lines all over my head and cut my neck as well. he rushed me to get out of there because there was someone waiting even though i called prior. also sprayed this awful smelling aftershave on me and put some nasty grease in my head making me look like a wet rat. been to so many barbershops across the world and by far the worst experience i ever had read more

So happy I found Nick and Uni'k! Nick is an artist and the shop is chill. I do a haircut and a beard trim. Better than any salon and better than any other barbershop. read more

Great place. Great cut. The website scheduling tool was a bit wonky. Crashed when I proceed to confirm and sure enough to schedule me. So be careful if you use the app that it goes to whatever confirmation it is supposed to. read more

I desperately needed a haircut before my long range fishing trip. I made an appt and Nick cut my hair. Precision scissors cut that looked great. Offered me a beverage. Reasonable prices. read more

Put my appointment request in 18 hours in advance and never got a confirmation approval. I'm here traveling for work, and I'm on a schedule. So if a business has an appointment scheduling and they say they will give you an approval, they should fulfill what they require. read more

I went in for a crew cut and really liked the final product. The attention to detail during the cut was great. I have difficult hair to cut, but Rick really took his time and made sure I got what I wanted and that I walked out of there looking good with my new cut. I will definitely be back. read more

My buddy Charlie had a blast getting his head shaved clean and a great shave. His hair gel is the bomb!!!! If you get a chance, stop on by!! The service and conversation is A number 1!!! 5 stars from Phish!!!! read more

Excellent customer service and best haircut I've had in some time. Nick did an awesome job plus a good Dude to converse with!

Was lucky enough to find this Barbershop through yelp. Walked in. Nick greeted me and got me booked as a walked in. Nick asked me what I wanted done. I could tell right away I had nothing to worry about, Nicks skill and precision was on point! Im particular about my "skin fades" and Nick was amazing! Definitely will use when back in Point Loma. read more

Hello Yelpers! This is my fiancé's favorite and only barber shop. From the customer service to the awesome cuts. Nick is a great barber, super friendly, good energy.

Great area to grab a bite to eat at as well. Customer service: 10/10 Parking: Street parking read more

Great cut and shave. Felt like a million bucks walking out of there. They took me as a walk-in which seems rare everywhere since the whole panicdemic nonsense. Even my local barbershops back east all want appointments online now. Being able to get up and go is a bonus. The hot towels were awesome, they almost put me right to sleep. read more

Great service, they offer you a cold beer also the they cut any style and the conversion are one of the best one I have had at a barber shop....I forgot the name of the very respectable Asian man but he recommended me Mitch seafood place and the massage next door. Great guy.....I apologize for forgetting your name Sir! Next time I'm in town we having some Mitch and a cold Beer! read more

2nd review: Been here before because they were affordable and the barbers were good from my experience. Now they have boosted up the price to $25 which is way too much especially since there are other more affordable barbers in the area and much cheaper on base as well. Sorry to say that the cuts are not worth that price let alone any barber for that price. This isn't Beverly Hills. Due to that costly price I will not be returning. 3rd review: Ok I was little harsh on the above #2 review so here is an updated review bc I was in the area on a time crunch and needed a cut. Walked in and had a seat to wait and asked Nick about the price raises to $25 and he said it was bc of rent, which I figured. He then mentioned that bc of that they are giving complimentary beer and drinks in their mini fridge. Not only that but he added a massager to the mix when you are done your cut. I feel this was a good move bc if you are going to charge those kind of prices then additional features to draw people in will definitely do the job. Good job Nick. Other barber shops definitely don't do what you have added. With that being said, I take back my 3 star review which was #2 review above and I rate you guys 5 stars bc of stepping it up in the other areas mentioned above and bc Nick can give a mean cut! read more

Uni'k Barber Shop - Entrance - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

Nick has been in the business for years and his work shows it. Used to go to him all the time when stationed in San Diego. Super easy going cool guy, and doesn't charge ridiculous prices like other shops do while still getting the same quality! read more

I asked for a medium drop fade with a line up and got just that! Daniel had steady hands that gave me the sharpest corners and straightest lines I've ever seen on myself. The shop was clean and they had beverages available as the sports channel was on. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I was in a pinch because my normal barber was closed, so I decided to give these guys a shot. I had longer, shaggy hair. I asked for a LOW fade, close but not to the skin, and absolutely NOTHING off the top. The guy cutting my hair said he would have to cut a little off the sides to blend it with the rest of the hair. I said cool, that's reasonable. Anyway, he gave me a REALLY HIGH FADE and cut 2-3 INCHES off the top of my head. Maybe more. I went from long shaggy hair to almost a fresh out of boot camp hair cut. I haven't been this disappointed with a hair cut in a very long time. It's safe to say I will NEVER return to this place ever again. And I will do everything in my power to make sure everyone I know, knows not to go here. Usually I wouldn't mind a bad hair cut because if I ask for a low fade and nothing off the top. Most of the time I get a medium fade and nothing of the top. So in 2-3 weeks I can fix the hair cut. With this one, I'm going to have to grow my hair for at least 3 months to get back to where I was. I seriously have no idea how to put into words how infuriated I was when I saw my hair. Please never go here unless you want them to totally ignore what you want and you end up with a mystery cut. read more

Happened upon this place and was thrilled that it's next to one of the best old school dive bars next door. Nick was extremely welcoming and supportive of the look I was going for. This the place you want to go for a perfect buzz cut, eye-catching fades, hawks, and classy old-fashioned hot towel service! Even though I'm female, I was made to feel welcome there, and was given a sharp, attentive update to my Chelsea/Fringe cut. Added bonuses are the laid back atosphere, easy parking and affordable prices. Come drop by and say hi to Nick and Tanner, and then get a drink at the oldest and friendliest bar in Point Loma next door! read more

Ok, so the price is now $25 for a standard men's cut. I'm not happy about the price increase, but honestly, it's been a long time coming. Still a great barbershop. I took off one star because I think the price increase is too much, too quickly. Now it's basically the same price as every other shop in town, which means I'm being held down by The Man. (What's new, right?) read more

The downside of always moving every 2-3 years (hashtag military life) is trying to find that perfect barber. That barber you could rely on like I do the 1st and the 15th of the month - consistency is key. It's a long and arduous process of reading Yelp reviews, asking locals/friends, and just straight up trial and errors with some of these local barbers. Although most times it seemed like it was more error than trial, but that's neither here nor there. Great, consistent barbers are really, of you think about it, unicorns. While unicorns don't exist, the perfect haircut and that great, consistent barber can be found at Uni'k!! Nick gave me the best fade I've had since my arrival in San Diego almost a year ago. He meticulously takes his time, and it shows after he shows you the finished product. If you're in the military, like I am, bruh.... Win!!! You'll definitely be getting your money's worth and I'm most definitely going back read more

Nick always provides a consistently great cut. Also now that he does appointments it makes the whole experience more convenient and efficient. read more

Love this place! Always receptive to same day appointment if available. Nick gets my cut right everytime and he's one of the few I've seen that haven't been affected by inflation! read more

Not a big fan. Dont come to this shop for fades. Second time there. Figured the first was a fluke. Owner is a good dude but damn, its 25$ for a cut and mine was just pretty bad. I went home and my gf was like "what the hell is that". Then went to hang with friends and one of them said "dude..they fucked you up" read more

Nick provides consistent and great service every time at an affordable price. Easy to schedule and accessible.

Iv been coming here for awhile.... I don't even live in the area anymore but I still drive across town just to get my hair cut by Nick. The guys a pro in every sense of the word. The last couple times I have come in iv noticed he upgraded his entire shop. Don't think twice about getting a cut here, I didn't and iv been coming back for the last 5 years... read more

Uni'k is the chill spot to get a haircut. Always fun conversations while enjoying a beverage and getting a haircut. Been going here for years highly recommend read more

While I haven't tried all the barbers in the San Diego area, Nick is the best I've had. He's an organized and detailed barber that has created a great vibe. When I needed not only a great cut my wife liked, but to fix previous poor cuts from other barbers, I came here. Call for an appointment. Cash only. read more

the heavyset dude in the back of the shop absolutely BUTCHERED me. Worst haircut of my life. I noticed a couple other people have had the same problem as me with that same barber. ps: i started a yelp account just to write this. thats how bad the haircut is. smdh. read more

Came to Nick's the first time I was stationed out here six years ago, and have been coming back ever since. Hands down one of the best in the business. Traveled all over the world and I am always happy for a stop in San Diego to get my hair cut by him. Friendly, professional and amazing pricing. If you want the best cut in town - go see Nick! read more

Great fade! Definitely glad I found a barber close to home that provides a service I'd be happy to make regular appointments to.

Nick is a awesome barber!!! Great hair cuts and always fun to visit with Nick read more

It's been a while since I've been to Uni'ks Barber Shop and things haven't changed. Nick hooked me up with a solid cut and I'm extremely happy with it! Their new location is dialed in and has great aesthetic. It was relaxing and quick which is perfect for me. Even though they are not doing walk-ins right now, they got me in a chair only an hour after I originally stopped in. Good vibes every time and always leave as a satisfied customer. read more

I've been here several times for a quick haircut and to be fair they've done a good job in the past. I'm a firm believer that what separates a good business from a poor one is how they handle bad situations. Unfortunately in my case, when I was having the straight razor done on my neck the guy doing it cut a mole halfway off. It hurt, but he said it was a just a knick, so I didn't really question it. Upon coming home, my wife (a medical school student) saw multiple cuts on the back and side of my neck including the big one on my mole. She was livid. We went back to discuss a refund at a minimum and we were told that "these things happen" and that "no worries, you want a free haircut". A simple "sorry" would have been acceptable rather than rude remarks. As a customer it made me feel like somehow we were in the wrong and were being unreasonable for even bringing the situation up. I understand that these things happen, and I'd rather prefer the other half of my mole than the $25, but what poor customer service. read more

A nice small barber / styling shop. I was offered a drink (soda, water, beer) when I came in. Was able to get in, get a quick cut with a straight razor finish on my neck ... and on my way quickly. Good pricing. One of the only places I could find open on Sun in Point Loma. read more

This shop was very clean and modern. The main barber cut my husband's hair and beard before our wedding. He did an amazing job! Left him looking clean and sharp for the ceremony. We definitely recommend! read more

I went to this barber shop and the amount of time it took for them to cut one persons hair. It seemed like the barbers had no idea what they were doing. I reccommend never go here again If you want to spend your whole day waiting for an inexperienced barber than go here read more

I'm sure they're great a cutting hair, especially military-style cuts, but they won't get my money. They need to change one of two things. First, they either need to remove the porn (Playboys displayed for those waiting), or remove the part on the sign that says "Boy's haircuts." I'm sorry, but if you advertise serving children in this place, you cannot have that stuff out in the open. read more

I've been getting my mop cut by "the boys" for a while and it just dawned on me that they deserve a good Yelping. Look for the $10 haircut sign in front! Includes a straight edge razor shave.. Old-school barbershop with new-school barbers. Can't beat a good selection of Maxim and other men's mags to pass the time while waiting. Right next to a pub that has SEMI-live entertainment- Can't beat that.. read more

hands down some of the best barbers in town. Professionalism is on point and their haircuts are amazing.

One of the worst haircuts I've ever had! I went to this place because my normal barber was booked up. I got the owner, and he was super rushed even though he had no other customers and he didn't listen to what I wanted. Then he started putting gel in my hair and slicking it back before I checked the length or anything in the mirror. I felt the length with my hand and he told me not to ruin his work. I asked him to cut off just a little more and he argued with me. Then he cut off too much on one side and didn't cut the other side! This place is a joke. You get less than you pay for. read more

Nick and Tanner are great! This is definitely my GO-TO barber shop! If you are looking for a consistent cut with friendly barbershop-talk this is the place for you. The fridge is always stocked with cold refreshments and candy which is always nice. Nick is an artist with his straight blade and always has hot towels ready. Besides the classic barbershop vibes which are great, their cuts are on point and will not leave you disappointed. read more
