Literally the worst barber ever. Had to wear a hat for a month lol.

Great Haircuts. Eric is a great barber

S/O to Eric for the cut. Quick and efficient!

Super fast and great service, all the barbers are very welcoming and friendly. Im pretty picky about my hair and had a few reservations going in, however these were quickly put to rest. My barber did a better job in half the time and half the price as my usual barbershop. I wont be going anywhere else but here in the future. I highly recommend this location, the only downside is parking can be a little rough as it is right next to campus.

The worst service Ive Have in Berkeley not recommend this place at all, the Mexican guy was so rude and made me feel uncomfortable all the time, this place sucks

My haircut was done quickly and quite well.

Went to a barber shop for the first time and the experience was great. Super chill staff and enjoyed playing smash bros with them. Highly recommend this place.

Be careful here. Half the time you have a brand new apprentice that doesnt know what they are doing. Just make sure their supervisor is near by to make sure they dont screw up. Left with a cut, nothing what I asked. Roll the dice for $22

As a mixed kid, its hard to find barbers who can consistently do my hair right. Every time Ive been in here, they give me a neat line and achieve exactly the look I was aiming to get. Theyre nice, check in with you a couple times during the cut to make sure you and they are on the same page, and even though its a little expensive compared to other places around Berkeley, the quality makes it worth it.Oh and next time we play Smash 4, Im going to dodge that Bowser grab.Watch ya self.

My husband can get lined up WITH A RAZOR BLADE. Enough said.

Of all the barber shops Ive been to, amplify Barber Shop is one of the only Ive ever felt comfortable in. For years when I went to GreatClips I wondered if I was going leave with a good haircut or something that was a too short/jagged monstrosity. Amplify may be a bit odd but the prices are good and the service and quality are spot on. When I go to the Berkeley location, I know that I will be well taken care of and that my haircut is in good hands

By far one of the best places I have received a skin fade so if you need razor work done this is definitely the place to go it’s the closest place and it’s the cheapest place that I found in the area that you don’t have to set up appointment for, Great customer service very good experience.

I was told by one of the barbers that the shop in Berkeley was opened and to come back. I came back only to be told by someone different that the shop was closed while he was cutting someone’s hair. On their site it says they were mandated to close down until further notice but there was still someone there getting a cut.

My worst haircut ever. I prefer a longer and a bit messy style and came with a lot of hair. While I was trying to explain what I want, the guy who cut my hair interrupted me and told that he totally understood what I need... and made some standard haircut which does not fit my type of hair at all. Now it will take at least two months to grow something reasonable.

Chill environment, great haircutstaff was playing smash bros and theyve got a dog

The best barbers in Berkeley. The staff is hilarious too!

The hair cut was OK, not bad, not good. But the price of 22$ is more expensive than other barbers around the area. And for that price, you can only expect the minimum service. If you like the barbers talking and laughing (a lot together), you will be happy. If you expect to be treated like a real customer, you wont.

Im always satisfied with my haircuts. All the barbers are energetic and enthusiastic which is something I appreciate more.

I love they way Chris cut my hair best in Berkeley & Eric is good too also Eli when I read the other comments it sounds like they just hating but u have to have haters to get to the top I really love this barber shop keep up the good work guys🤙🏽

Mostly for the college crowd, my 8-year-old likes it for the decrepit pool table. Old Playboy magazines fill the racks and the equipment has seen better days. But the haircuts are good enough for the price and the barbers are friendly.

Eric does not follow instructions. Worst haircut I have in a very long time. Cut my hair way too short from the sides and did a side line that I never asked for!!!!. Furthermore, I showed him a photo and asked how similar I want my haircut to be but went way off. It is the most ridiculous thing to have a bad haircut because there is nothing you can do about unlike food or service where you cancel or something. Stay away from this man.

Went there Monday, very quick, good haircut

Such a good vibe when I come the Barbers always treat me like family, good music, sports and most importantly the best haircuts keep it up! #AMPLIFY

Theyre a group of really great barbers, though you need to learn how to chill, as theyll definitely poke fun at you. Although its a bit pricy, I always get a solid haircut over here, and Ive almost never been disappointed. Make sure to show them a photo of what you want, so they will know exactly how they should cut it. Ask for Sonom or Eric and you definitely will not regret your decision to get your cut here!

0 stars because you allow a man to sit out front and smoke meth with his meth pipe out in the open. See picture. No ones gonna wanna walk right in with this pos out front.

Short wait even when crowded

This is a mens barber shop. The guys are good. Been going there about a year now. Prices are fair (I think $22 for a cut) considering that these guys actually know how to cut hair. Especially if you have black or biracial hair. Good luck with other shops around here. Ill pay an extra $5 for that every single time. Its always the same 2-3 guys so you know them.Last year I bounced between shops in Berkeley and had little Asian ladies butcher my head over and over. The last time I had one of them cut my hair it was terrible. Had to shave my head bald it was so bad. So Im thrilled with the dudes at Amplify.Theres an Armenian (Lebanese? I never remember) barber, Eli, who can literally give you a haircut with nothing but a straight razor. Best cut I ever had. The other regular is Eric who does good work too. Both guys leave me looking sharp.Im an older guy and have had good barbers on two coasts and a few places in between. This shop is my favorite out of all of them. Ill be sorry when I leave Berkeley and have to go through the process again.In short, these guys are great. Youll pay probably $5-7 more (w/tip) than the junk Asian barbers and chain shops you find elsewhere. But man. Its WORTH it. Its ALWAYS a great cut.Word is some of the Warriors team gets cuts here. One of the barbers showed me a pic of him with Steve Kerr and I thinnnkkk Draymond G from last year when they came in from a cut.Cash only and walk-in only.This place is legit fellas. Not sure why so few reviews about Amplify but this is mine. I always get haircut compliments from female friends after seeing these guys. Thumbs up. (No I dont work here, LOL. Im a grad student at the school.). Cant vouch for hipster hairstyles of course.

Great dudes who do a great job. Price is 22 which is what Ive seen to be close to bay area average.

Didnt pick up the phone and didnt even have a voicemail set up...

Worst haircut Ive ever received. Its going to take longer than a month for it to grow out and be fixed.

Probably one of the worst haircuts Ive ever gotten.

Messed up my haircut horribly. Now I have wear a hat for more than a month.

Completely butchered my hair

Best barber shop in Berkeley

Been coming here 4 years.

Very bad and a little overpriced haircuts

Horrible haircuts
