HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!--Ricky (Ricardo) is a living legend in Oakland, a walking encyclopedia, one hell of a barber, and a damn fine gentleman. The first time draw to his intimate barbershop should be an excellent, meticulous, affordable haircut. However, youll keep coming back for the stories, the ambiance (the shop is ringed with photographs of Ricky with local and national celebrities from past decades), the history of our Oakland community, and, of course, local Oaktown hero Bruce Lee (pictured in the shops photos -- one of Rickys former clients)! Rickys Tribune Barbershop (the original site of which was on the ground floor of the world famous Tribune Newspaper Building) is the most, true old-school, pure-as-it-gets Oakland in all the best ways

Ricky Rocks! A real gentleman and the stories and haircut are great.
