I had a really bad experience at this barber shop. I asked for a standard haircut that Ive gotten many times before at other places with no issue. The cut was of abysmal quality, not even close to what I asked for or what the barber repeated to me at the beginning. It ended up being basically bald on the side and took way more off the top than requested.Ill be wearing a hat for the next couple weeks.

Jesus, right now I am so angry on myself that why did I go here for haircuts? Since moved from Eroupe to California, I couldn’t find a proper hairdresser. I had a nice and long hair and maybe one on of those individuals who is so sensitive to his hairstyle. I saw the reviews and even the barbershop looked nice but when I went here there was an old guy who were cutting hairs like 80 and 90ths. I was even showed him a picture that I want my haircut like this and If you are sure you can start. But he messed up and cut my hairs so short that I am looking like bald old man. Another crazy thing that I saw here, that they make you to sit behind the mirror so you can’t see what the hell they are doing. The weirdest thing ever.

Just moved from Europe to America and was looking for a new barber. This is definitely not my new barber. Asked for a bit of the top and a fade on the sides. I have no hair on top anymore (I had really long hair). And a weird looking fade.

Good haircuts at a very reasonable price. Even better now that you can make reservations!

Ive had my hair cut by both barbers here numerous times. I always look fantastic when theyre done.Fair warning: This place is set up as a classic barber shop. There are no appointments, and the wait can be over two hours on a busy weekend. Bring a book or the newspaper and relax! Its worth the wait.

Nice guys and they give good cuts. However, it should not take 40 minutes to give a haircut especially if you have people waiting. That waiting room is 4-5 deep no matter what time of day you go in. Slow as molasses.

Ive gone three times so far and each time I have been impressed with the extent of service that the two barbers dedicate into each customer given the reasonable price point. I will certainly be coming back for the skilled hairstylists, convenient location, and affordable price.

Love this place, but waited a long time on a Saturday morning/afternoon. But I dont blame it on anyone but me. I should have arrived earlier.Probably my favorite shop in the area.

Review №14

Quiet, relaxing, the two barbers take their time to do everyones haircut, so there is a wait. I would definitely come back next time.

Review №15

I would probably say they are the cheapest in this locality, no need of appointments, effective when you didnt plan something and wanted a beard trim or a hair cut. They do a decent job. If you are trying out a new style, then definitely not a choice for you.

Have been going to Kim for about 20 years. Very nice guy. Professional, consistently great haircuts. Attentive service at a price fit for post-docs. But be careful showing up during his busiest hours when the wait can be over 30 minutes.

Best barber shop around. No appointments available, first come-first serve. Arrive at the latest at 3:00pm, or else you may be turned away since there are normally four to six people waiting at that time. If I could give SIX STARS, I would!

I been there twice, both times I was very satisfied with the haircut.downsides: Long waiting timesAt least 25 minutes for regular male haircut.There are two barbers a young guy and an older gentleman,I clocked the young one spending 1:10 for a single haircut.He is talkative and it slowes him down... 😀

Really good old school style barbers. This place is always packed, yet they still spend time with customers and dont rush them through. One my favorite barbers in Bay area.

Review №23

Ignore the photos from this google page. Theyre of several wrong barber shops. This place is inexpensive and good. Walk ins only. Look at whoever is there, youre up after them. Be prepared to wait, 2 barbers. But its quiet and people dont really talk, so its relaxing.

A no-frills -- and no-appointment -- two chair barbershop. Take a seat and wait your turn. Both barbers are skilled and will give you full attention when its your turn. They finish off your haircut with a razor and aftershave. Theres a large TV and plenty of magazines to occupy you while you wait.

Review №25

Had a great experience. No wait, asked questions before doing anything outside my instructions, and was very attentive to detail. Gave me a local student discount even though Im in school in another state. Wish I had asked for the womans name who took care of me, but Im sure everyone is great. If I need another cut before I leave at the end of the summer, this is where Ill go.

Review №26

First come, first serve, so make sure you come outside of peak times. Each haircut takes about 30 min so you might wait quite a bit if there is a line. But the haircuts they give are great and the price is hard to beat. No wonder there is a line almost always.

Been coming here for the better part of a year to get my monthly army haircut. have to 30 mins out of my way to get there, take off work almost an hour early to arrive before closing. Got there at 4:59 and still wouldnt let me in. Frustrating to say the least.

Review №34

This was the worst haircut I ever received. Honest. I asked to keep the sides about the same length as the top. He said ok. He then nearly shaves the sides and left the top long. Nearly looks like a Mohawk! When I asked him why, he simply said, thats what we do here, sorry you dont like it. If you want a $20 haircut and dont care what it looks like then this may be your place. Ill never return again. Horrible place.

Review №37

Awful shave & haircut. Charged me $30 for shaving my beard & trimming my hair a bit. I am very used to getting my beard shaved with an old style blade & this was done very poorly. The only positive was that the gentleman was entertaining to talk to, especially about the various school pennants he has in the barber shop.Let me give you some details:Haircut: I look like Calvin except I am not a cartoon 6 year old with a stuffed toy tiger called HobbesShave: Tufts of hair were left in various parts of my face.Eyebrows: I sadly look like one if the pirates from the geico commercial as the barber cut one eyebrow way more than the otherThe final straw: After it cost me $30, he thought I was going to give him a $10 tip. Not realizing I truly wanted him to refund me the entire amount

However mind the queue...about 20mins per person; 2 barber slots

Review №43

Went there two times. Both of them, they cut WAY too short. I explain everything throughly, even show a photo. End result is the same - they cut all the corners, making your head look like an egg. And you are always turned away from the mirror so you dont see the process until its over.

Nice haircuts at great price. Might need to wait for an hour though at peak times.

Review №45

Likely the worst cut Ive ever received. Asked the guy to take 1/2 inch off with scissors. He went straight for the razor and left 1/2 inch...he took about 2 inches off. I also had to wait for an hour. Will not go back. Cannot recommend.
