William is a classically trained barber who has cut my hair for years. He is very conscientious and fastidious and knows his trade very well. He's also pretty entertaining to talk to. Highly recommended. read more

William is simply amazing! I called for an appointment for my 18 year old son. He had really long hair that he did not want to part with, but he also needed to look for a job! So William found the perfect cut; short enough for an employer, long enough for my son. He's had his hair cut twice now and will be calling soon for his next apt. He likes talking to Will and thinks he's pretty cool and has a good sense of humor. read more

William is master with a clipper. He prefers to use clippers over scissors (at least for my hair) and does a great job. No hair under my tshirt and I dont know how he manages it. read more

William is fabulous. Attentive to what you would like and also willing to offer his opinion. I took his opinion on things like sideburn length and other things I don't know anything about and I really like how the haircut came out. I will definitely be driving out of my way to visit him again. read more

Will is the man. I have gone to so many places for so many years. From hole in the wall Vietnamese places to nice salons in SF and Santana Row. I could never find the perfect place. Either one was too expensive to be done every 4 weeks or the other side of the spectrum my hair got totally botched. Will has done a great job with my hair and has told me how to style it, comb it hair dry it, etc. I love everything about this place, it is what a mens haircut should be. Yes the place could be cleaner, but then it wouldn't be the same. Also if you want a nice clean salon don't expect to pay $17 for a haircut. Some of the other comments below giving this place anything under 4 stars are ridiculous. I brought my friend here who has a nightmare of hair, curly, colored, etc. Will fixed his hair and even my friend goes to Will now. I will be going here for as long as I live in the bay. read more

Best haircut for $16 bucks. My haircuts generally range from 25-60 bucks and Will did just as good a job as the $60 dollar cut. I will be coming here from now on. read more

Was looking for a new hair salon away from over-priced Santana Row options. Found William through yelp and have to say it's the best place I have been to since living in the Bay Area. He uses scissors mainly, clippers just for trimming, and gives you exactly the haircut you want. I used to have a hard time explaining to other hairdressers what I wanted because I have special needs due to some balding spots. William was able to translate what I said I wanted into a great finished product. I am as happy about this haircut as it gets. On top of that WIlliams is a really nice guy and has great prices ($16 for a men's haircut and it only took 40 mins). read more

I love coming here and getting my hair cut from Will. I explained a specific hairstyle that I wanted, and he managed to cut my hair the way that I want. He's a huge miracle worker. And, the price is really reasonable for the quality Will provides. read more

I just want to follow up on my review of several years ago and say that I still go here, and it's still awesome. I love this place so much I drive from Millbrae to Santa Clara to get my hair cut. read more

William is my favorite stylist for years. Even though I moved and now have to drive for an hour to see him, it's totally worth it.

William is a great guy. I walked in without an appointment on a Friday evening. He was booked with appointments, but he was kind enough to squeeze me in. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. William has definitely made me a believer out of Barber Shop hair cuts. I will never go to a Supercuts or any other type of salon again. My experiences with every Barber Shop's I have been to have been nothing but great. William did an awesome job cutting my hair. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

For women, this is a good place to go for a quick trim or bangs. Will prefers not to do styling for women's hair and he is up front about that. He is very friendly & fun to talk with. As with most other popular places, best to call for appointment ahead of time, especially for sat. read more

I've been to will 3 times now. He's awesome--if you tell him what you want, he does it with precision and makes notes for future visits! He used to work on Santana Row and it's very clear that he has many, many years of experience in this field. I have asked him on several occasions to just use his own judgement/opinion on certain details when cutting my hair, and I have always been pleased. On top of all of this, Will gives a haircut worth way more than $22, so he really is a rare value in an otherwise generally expensive place (the bay area). I look forward to continuing to go to Will for all my haircuts! read more

So I came here based on good reviews on Yelp. Met with William, and showed him a haircut I like. First thing he said was he cannot give me that haircut because he's a cosmetologist not a barber. I still let him to cut my hair though. Even though I said I am growing the top part of my hair, he didn't do any adjustments on the top, I mean, did not even touch at all! And the sides of my hair wasn't satisfying either. I wanted to have a fade undercut, but he wasn't able to provide it. I don't know why people wrote so many good things about here. read more

Very professional. Great price for the work William does. Very experienced. Healthy discussions. Would definitely go in again next time.

Came here a while back. It's interesting how many positive reviews this place gets. Don't get me wrong, Will is a nice guy, but he totally botched my hair cut. Definitely will not be coming here again. read more

William cuts my hair at least once a month and has been cutting it for almost 2 years. He's very professional at what he does and has really entertaining stories. Call for appointments because he does not take walk-ins unless he's not busy! read more

I was looking for a good barber for my teenage son close by home so I decided to jump on Yelp to find one. We were disappointed to the last few places we went. His cut never turned out how he wanted. They either buzzed it too short or chopped it all up when he requested a shaggy do (Ashton Kutcher's style). I guess that's what you get when you go to the cheap places. Don't get me wrong... There's nothing wrong with the cheap places if you just need a simple cut, fade or buzz. My husband has been going to a cheap Asian barber for many years and he's very happy with his barber. I knew in order for my teenager son to get the style he wanted he would have to go to a nice salon. I don't see the sense of paying $40-60 for a men's haircut for my teenage son so I jumped on Yelp. So after seeing all the nice review at the right price, I decided to give this place a try. Yet again I'm never let down by Yelp. My son got a hair wash which was a first for him. I don't think I've ever seen a barber do this before so this was a nice bonus. Then he got his hair cut or shall I say razor cut from William and it turned out exactly how he wanted. We were both very happy with the results and my son is definitely going to be a regular client now. The price is just right at $16. The barber shop is very clean and with a salon feel to it. William, who also is the owner is very nice and talkative guy. We both really liked him and liked the fact that he really put a lot of attention to the cut. read more

Finally after 13 years I have finally found someone who can cut my hair properly. As most of the reviewers have said Will is the man you wanna see if you want your hair shaped and textured properly. For me the measurement of skill is how little effort it appears for the person to execute. Will does just so. Causally cuts your hair but the end result is amazing. read more

I'm so glad I found William. He just cut my hair for the second time and I love it. I used to pay a lot more for my haircuts and they weren't as good. William is very personable and he cuts your hair the way you want it, not the way he thinks it should be. read more

This is a great place and William gives great haircuts. I have been going to William for over a year now and always enjoy the way I look afterward. He's very knowledgeable, meticulous, skillful and entertaining. highly recommended. read more

This place is great. You cant beat the prices $16 CASH + tip. William is great. You be done in 30 min, little conversation. if you want to get a great haircut without the need to process your life with someone you will see every 6 weeks, then this place is for you!!!!! read more

I was introduced to William 15 years ago through a close friend, and have been going to him ever since my first visit. He's the ONLY person I know that can cut your hair the way you like it, every time... he is very consistent. William creates a profile for you, logging any subtle changes, buzzer sizes, hair colors, days and times that work for you, etc. into his laptop, so you know that your hair will turn out the same way every time! He's detail oriented, very open, honest, and knowledgeable when asked for his opinion regarding your hair. His prices are more than reasonable for the magic he performs... and you will quickly learn that this man knows a thing or two about cutting and styling hair! So Boys AND Girls, if you're looking for a long term person to cut, color, or style your hair, look no further, William's your man! Yes, he is REALLY that good! So give him a try, and I bet you'll strongly consider replacing your current hair dresser... I know I did! =) PS. In all the time I've been going to Custom Hair Styling, I've never once had an issue finding close parking. read more

Best Haircut Ever. The amount of time William took to meticulously perfect my hair is incredible. He uses every tool in his shop with expertise to create the artwork that is going to be your hair. I would like to visit him again. Unfortunately, I will be going down to San Diego in a month, so this review is the least I can do. read more

William at Custom Hair Styling is a superb hair stylist! He makes sure you are both on the same page in terms of how you want your hair cut before he starts so you get exactly what you want. I wish I had found him sooner and will be getting all my future hair cuts here! read more

Over a year of searching for him, the search for Karvon has finally ended!! This brutha can cut!! After getting a few cuts by Big Jim, I switched over to Karvon one day since Jim was too busy. Then one day he was gone without a trace. Word on the street was that Karvon was still doing big thangs in SC.. I managed to track him down at Custom Hair Styling!! I went there yesterday, and even though he was running late for school, he knew I had to look sharp! He took his time, hooked me up with a bad a$$ fade boxed up the chin strap, and hooked it up with an old fashion razor cut to give that sharp, clean appeal. Dude, is bad what can I say. Karvon gets 5 stars, for boss cuts, clean shop, hot water and a water cooler for customers LOL....Just sayin read more

Great, high-quality cuts, good prices, easy experience. I had been floating, looking for someone to cut my sons' hair - they're very particular. Now they won't go to anyone else. Bonus is that William is equally great with women's cuts so now I have mine done there too! He's very knowledgeable about different types of hair and how to best work with it, which is perfect because we range from straight to curly. We're so glad we found this place! read more

William is awesome. Even my wife and daugher are getting their hair cut by William. Highly recommend!

I've been to William for a few years now, I refuse to go elsewhere. He has entertained each and every request, he's totally focused on giving you what you want and every time I walk out of the store, I feel great with my new haircut. I would totally recommend William to anyone who is looking for a new barber, who may like a change, or are new to the area. The care and attention to detail makes you feel valued as a customer, he's quick, accurate and extremely engaging. read more

Will is a great guy and means business when you go there. As far as hair cuts go, he isn't your hollywood type hair stylist but he knows what he is doing. read more

I started getting my hair cut by William about 2 years ago and I have never been disappointed. He takes his time, and is really attentive. I have really thick hair, and I have never found a hairdresser that could tame my mane until now. He does an excellent job, and he is really precise (not to mention the prices are extremely reasonable). I have always been able to make an appointment without any problems. He came in on a day off to do my hair for a party. I always get great customer service and I look fantastic when I leave. You won't be disappointed. :) read more

Nice Hair cut for a reasonable price. She is putting so much time for her customers which is nice. Very satisfied overal.
