Second time visiting this place and I can definitely see the change in the atmosphere really looking forward to having this be my new go-to place to get a fresh cut keep it up guys

Super chill. Professional guys. Great location. They got you.

Doug hooked me up with fresh shave,i strolled in right at closing time and they still hooked a brutha up.. cool shop,good people..

I don’t leave reviews, but I think I need to for this place. I had great service and really enjoyed the experience. I tend to be an anxious person but I felt right at home and comfortable here. I believe Howard Konrad cut my hair and I enjoyed talking with him. He did an excellent job and I really like the haircut. I highly recommend this place and I’ll definitely be coming back!

I made an appointment online, came all the way to the shop, only to find that it’s closed. Calling the phone number asks you to make an appointment online, so know you’re rolling the dice about whether your appointment is actually happening?

Captains has always been our first choice for our kiddos haircut. Friendly staff, high quality work, and thorough safety protocol in place during these unique times. We lucked out with a same-day appointment, but book early.

I called because I was wondering why I couldn’t place a reservation on the website. They left me on hold for 35mins and never came back to the phone. Thanks for wasting my time.

Great service, skilled barbers, great prices

Nice place, friendly staff. I had Dough cut my hair. They have outdoor setup due to COVID. Dough was very professional, he whipped down everything prior to cutting hair. I made my appointment online.

Good price good service

I hadnt been back to Captains for almost 2 years for a haircut. This time got a new hairstyle that my wife loves, met the new ownership, and got to support a local RWC business. Hope we can keep this business open during these rough times.

I should have read these reviews first. I asked for a trim, said that Im growing it out and only needed 1/8 off top and trimmed in back. He cut 2 off the bangs and did some uneven 1/2 and 2 cuts along the sides and top. Looks terrible. He was distracted the whole time and texting on his phone. Vibe was cool but never going for a haircut again.

Haircut was superquick, quality, and the barber was good at what he does! Cool location and great to pick up some skate apparel if you need it. Definitely going back for another cut

Cool place. Lots of great barbers in here (Ive had my hair cut by 4-5 different people and walked out happy each time). Skate shop in the front, barbers chairs/waiting area towards the back. Front desk person offered me water/beer while I was waiting which was a nice touch. Definitely recommend!

Cool barbers. Low prices and high quality. They always have beer :)

Awesome hot shave for my giant bald head, very well done. A very eclectic shop, a beautiful place to visit whenever your in downtown redwood City and need your ears lowered.

I had high expectations going in but was sadly disappointed. I booked what was advertised as a straight razor shave that I should allow about 1 hour for since their barbers take their time. Instead I was shaved with a cheap Bic razor and the experience only lasted about 20 minutes. Based on the other, mostly positive reviews it seems like they are providing good service to their customers. They have several barbers and maybe I just had bad luck with mine. Would recommend that you have a conversation with your barber ahead of time and confirm what they plan to do and ensure it matches what is advertised.

Great place good haircutHighly recommended

Really good first experience it might be the best haircut I ever got honestly .

I went to Captains because a friend recommended that I go and see Pedro who normally cuts his hair. I thought Pedro did a great job. This place is 1000 times better than Supercuts or any of those chain places. They give you what you pay for. A quality service and experience. They even offer beer.

Cut by Joe. Friendly staff, great environment, attention to detail, cash only

My 8 year old got a good haircut. I guess I was the unlucky one.. Messed up my hair. Place looks cool..

Seemed to me for a little while they had quite a bit of turnover in Barbers but we really like this place. My son (in pic )has a ton of hair and Is in there at least once a month to get a cut. I have had several cuts and beard shaping grooming and some straight razor work done. Pretty rare that youll find a shop anymore or a barber that will use a straight razor.

Really cool place to get your hair cut. There is clothing, art and hand crafted jewelry to browse/buy while you wait with your complimentary beer. Like the haircut a lot too!

Horrible razor burn that hasnt gone away a week later.

The older gentleman my husband went to couldn’t cut hair at all. Do not recommend

Ive always had a good experience myself at Captains and Id rather support this local business than a chain barber shop like SuperCuts or Great Clips. That being said theyre not always perfect and sometimes you gotta wait awhile and it kinda sucks that haircuts are cash only. Otherwise they shop is nice, carries a bunch of skateboard gear and clothing as well as the barbershop in the back.Be sure to call and make an appointment a few days ahead and bring cash and you should be all good.

Geat barber shop! Luke is the best. Kids haircuts too.

Im giving 2 stars for the haircut because it was actually a decent cut. But the service was absolutely atrocious. The barber I had would not stop talking to her coworkers. She would cut my hair for 20 seconds, then immediately stop and go over to another barber and talk constantly about their personal lives, the whole time. The haircut (that should have taken 30 minutes tops) took 1 hour. She said maybe 2 words to me the whole time. She would walk back and forth from the front of the store and back, and again, CONSTANTLY talking to the other people working there. At one point, she even went over to one of the other people getting their hair cut and started cutting THEIR hair! Very unprofessional. Like I said before, the haircut was decent, but the service is why I will never return. For $30 I can get the same haircut and better service and still have enough money (and time) to get lunch.

The vibe of this place is great and I have come to appreciate their barbers. Its a destination for haircuts even if you dont skate. Cash only for haircuts though.

Been here multiple times and am always happy with my haircut. -1 star because wait times can be really bad and they only offer appointments 3 days a week. I recommend getting an appointment in advance and not worrying about the wait.

Great place to get a cut. Be ready to wait, make an appointment or show up nefore they open. Rating based on wait times. Barbers are all good.

Most uneven haircut of my life. Going to another barber to get it fixed immediately.

Got a cut from a cool guy, now I look cool too.

Welcoming environment; the staff is genuinely very kind and is attentive to detail.

Only place I cut my hair now. Love the owners and barbers, super nice people with a good sense of style.

Cool place and friendly staff. HOWEVER, never go to a barber of whom youve never seen his work. I took my dad to this place out of desperation and regretted it more that staying hairy. My dad asked for a bowl fade, including a shave on the lower part of the head, and a trim with scissors on the top of his head. The trim turned out nicely cut. BUT, the fade was as if the barber had a blindfold on or it was his very first fade. My dad left with chunks of both hair and semi bald spots on different angles of his head (not a fade at all). When we got home I had to fix it with his trimmer, and I have no mens grooming experience at all AND still managed to fix his hair 70% better.

Great quality haircuts with the $35 plus tip, takes a long time time, especially if there is a wait, but all comes back to quality and care of their craft... you can tell they care how you look when you are done

Absolutely terrible customer service. Guy working the front literally fell asleep after drinking beers and smoking the entire time i was there... 3 and a half hour wait for a haircut is just ridiculous, especially after being told it shouldnt be long at all. Ended up leaving after they took 2 people that got there after I did in front of me. Do not get your hair cut here. There are plenty of better places around.

Good spot to get a haircut although its cash only.

Ive come to Capns 4 times now, and have had a good experience across the board. First time was walk-in minimal wait, the second and third I made an appt. The staff is nice, and the Barbers have all done nice clean work, its not easy to find a good old school barber shop any more. A bit steep but as long as they maintain the quality Ill pay it.

Cool store. Nice staff. Mediocre cut. I was very explicit. Even had a picture. Hoping for some style. Walked out with a pretty boring cut I could have got for $10 at some cheapo place. -Maybe she was having an off day. Dissapointed after hearin the hype about this place.

Awesome shop. Awesome haircut and beard trim.

This is my go-to haircutting spot in RWC. There is a skateboard shop upfront, and a barber shop in the back. Very cool!

I went in for a hot shave, the most expensive service they offer($40), and given the price, I expected a thorough and enjoyable experience. My barber spent the first five minutes staring at his phone, before one of the other employees told him I was there. He forgot the steps; putting on the hot cream before the towel, and then having to reapply it, and proceeded to rush through the shave with no attention to detail. When I got back to my car and got a closer look at my face in the mirror, I noticed that he completely skipped my neck, missed the edges of my lips and an area of my upper cheek, and left the right side of my face with visible stubble, giving me a very uneven shave. Without considering the expense, it was an overall negative experience, and when I returned, the manager was more interested in questioning me about wether or not something really went wrong instead of fixing the problem. Never going back.TL;DR:I spent $40 for a shave a child could have done better. Hipster garbage, terrible service and management, and radically, criminally overpriced.

I have. I idea about skateboards or anything skate related and they broke it down! They gave me so much knowledge on skating and everyone there was supper friendly.

Got a great haircut here. Came mid week in the afternoon and there was a short wait

Great place with great prices and friendly service.

Probably the laziest haircut Ive ever gotten. The dude (Troy?) slapped the buzzer on me, was afraid to touch my head (I hate that! If you arent comfortable touching people then dont be a barber), and never even checked my cut from the front. He just stood behind me the whole time, and we werent even facing a mirror! I got home and had to even out my side burns LOL! What a joke, ditch this guy or send him to school asap. 👎 The old hippie dude seemed cool tho, Id go for a cut from him.

Just the best place to get a haircut on the peninsula.

Great hair cut, friendly staff

Friendly people and great hair cuts!

Great beard trims and hot towel shaves

Great Place to get a quick cut.

Great spot for a haircut

Okay haircuts. They falsely advertise as walk-ins welcome, no appointments necessary. Relying on this, I came in on a Sunday morning, they only had one barber available, and told me to make an appointment for later in the day.

My go-to

One of the worst cuts Ive ever received!! If you cant use a scissor you are not a barber!

Only barber opened on Sundays in the area

Says on the door and the website that they are open till 9 on Friday nights. Im here they are closed. Thanks for wasting my time. You guy just caused me to drive here for nothing. You suck!!

Need more barbershops like this around.

Best place for a awesome cut

My new favorite

Long story short, after telling barber dont go too high on the fade keep it LOW LOW FADE. I walked out with a army flat top hair cut.

Skater’s choice in the Peninsula ♦️

Im bald

Front desk is unprofessional

Great Cuts
