Shaibaan and his place are golden. Clean, precise and easy going. My hair and beard are on point - he’s careful and meticulous. The service is friendly, the place is inviting the cuts are sharp. Also this place hasn’t blown up yet so it’s still easy to get an appointment last min. I recommend.

If you want a professional, very precise haircut and is going to make you look amazing this is your guy.It always makes me so happy after Ive been in his chair and all my friends compliment me on how great my hair looks. I feel very comfortable in his hands and hes great at understanding the cut that I want. No such thing as a bad haircut in this guys chair.Hes the best and I cant recommend him enough. Best haircuts Ive ever received.

When I went to Shaibaans Hot Lather, I automatically felt welcome by him as if Ive been going there for years. The place was very clean and organize but the one thing that caught my attention was he kept his clippers and other thing in a Craftsman tool box. Im a big car guy and I thought that was the coolest thing every! After chopping off the long pandemic hair, I felt like a million bucks, actually, a billion. He gave honest feedback on what I should do with my beard when I asked and He trimmed it up a little and not cut it completely off, thank goodness hahaha. I can confidently say Im booking another appointment in a couple of weeks to keep this fresh cut.

Great shop. Clean + professional. Got my beard trimmed and styled for a wedding and left loving it. Looking forward to coming again soon!

Shaibaan gave me an incredible cut and an overall great experience. The shop is super clean and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend getting the straight razor shave!

The absolute best shave I have ever received! I knew Sha gave a great haircut, but I have grown my beard out and wanted to treat myself to a shave as well. I left ecstatic and received compliments just hours after my cut and shave! I will absolutely be back for both sooner rather than later.

Shaibaan is great! He cuts my two sons hair (9 and 7) and provides quality cuts that are neat, stylish and last a long time. We love going to him and feel lucky to have found him!

Great spot that does haircuts and beard trims during covid in a safe way. Highly recommend checking it out

SShaibaan has been cutting my husbands, and my sons hair for a while. And these ease on which I can book him is great. He does the best fades ever. His booking system, professionalism, and his consistency is great. All while being friendly, clean, and efficient.

Had a great experience with Shaibaan.Did a great job on my hair, super clean fade. Profesional and friendly.Definitely going back.

Top-notch experience with my first haircut and beard trim here.Shaibaan was attentive and a great stylist.I’ll definitely be back.

This barbershop was tremendous and a big help on my tight schedule. Their shop was along the way to my office. Fortunately, I was able to cut my long hair for a business meeting. I got it in 20 minutes excellently. I never doubted visiting this place at all. A loyal customer here! Until the next transactions! Good job.

I have been a customer of Shaibaan for several years now and he does excellent work. He is warm and welcoming and makes getting a haircut a fun experience! He can talk about a variety of subjects from politics to San Francisco to food to travel. Or if you feel like nodding off like I do, he lets you enjoy the nap! But most importantly, he does superb work as he takes his profession seriously and understands the needs of his clients very well.

Wonderful shop, awesome haircut and beard trim. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend him!

Got a haircut and my first professional beard trim here and I really liked it. Shaibaan was super friendly and easy to talk to without sacrificing the quality of the cut. He was really receptive to the criteria I had and gave me some tips on trimming for the type of beard I want. The place itself was roomy and had a cool breeze cycling through, which is probably a plus during the pandemic. I’ll be coming back here in the future.

I happened to find Shaibaan while doing laundry next door. Shaibaan is the consummate professional. He gives me a perfect haircut every single time. I highly recommend him! Make sure to make an appointment ahead of time - he gets booked quickly.

It was a fantastic experience. Best haircut ever. He was super friendly and he knew what he was doing. He asked me what I want and he proceeded to give me an amazing replication of exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back. Hot towel, cold towel, hair wash and some eucalyptus oil for a calming experience.

Shaiban is very good at what he does. I came in with an overgrown mop on my head and didn’t want my usual style. He did a very good job at giving me a professional/casual cut. Great experience.

First of all, I just wanted to mention that the booking an appointment with Shaibaan was super easy. yes!When I arrived at Shaibaan @barberology I’ve noticed a beautiful and clean shop. As soon as me and my husband I entered, we were greeted by Shaibaan, who was and is friendly also made us feel very comfortable as if we’ve met previously. Shaibaan not only provides excellent service, but is a pro at fades and beard trims. We were tremendously pleased and will be continuing service. I highly recommend Shaibaan! If you love yourself, you will treat yourself.

I’ve been going to Shaibaan for close to 5 years. Initially I was going to him out of convenience, when he worked in the financial district. After I knew he was relocating, I had to follow him wherever he went. He’s the most consistent barber out there! He always gives me the cleanest cut, and quick with the compliments. He’s extremely easy to talk to and will always leave you feeling satisfied. I’ll go to this man as long as I can - he’s the definition of “my guy”. See you in 4 weeks homie!!

Shaibaan is exactly the professional, experienced barber that I was looking and hoping for. He was on time, prepared and non-distracted when I met him. Super efficient, friendly and I was very pleased with an excellent haircut that is both current and within the guidelines I provided him. I now have a new regular barber, thank you!

Feel like I just got my first real haircut in my life. Im usually indecisive and shaibaan helped me find what works best for my hair. Awesome cut, great conversation, and finished off with a hot lather on the neck. Look no further if you want to be taken care of.

I’ve been seeing Shaibaan for the last three years, and I cannot speak highly enough for the quality of his service. I am always so happy with my cut, and completely trust him with nailing whatever look I’m going for. Also, just a great guy, I look forward to catching up with him during every appointment. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Was in town and got a quick cut- super awesome service and high level of skill.

Been going to Shia for the last 3-5 years now since I started college and he’s always been super consistent and the cuts are always so fresh. His personality is always nice and fills the room when you enter the shop. He’s really easy to talk to and will have you laughing when you’re in the chair.

Shaibaan is a great hairdresser - Im always delighted with my cut and youll spend a nice moment. Plus its (relatively) cheap for the neighborhood. Hes the man, recommending to all my friends!

This guy is legit. I came in with my hair looking terrible and left with a beautiful hair cut - nice fade and crisp lines. Shaibaan is also really cool to talk to and get to know. Im no longer searching for a chill reliable barber. This my guy. Mad respect. Recommending to all my friends and family.

Shaibaan did a great job with my first haircut in 8 months! Super relaxing atmosphere to get a great cut.

Shaibaan is a hot lather master! I’ve been seeing him for over 3 years and he always delivers with a sexy fade and some crisp lines. Highly recommend.

Hi I went to Shaibaan’s Hot Lather Barber Shop today, what a great experience, I drove up from Half Moon Bay, worth the drive I didn’t have a haircut or shave since last March, it was exactly what I needed, like a man spa, he pampered me, he’s a real pro and very nice guy, Hey guys go see him take care of your COVID beard and get a hair cut to, new look for spring

Hands down the best barber I’ve been to place is very clean. Shaibaan is very professional and all the guys I work with use him he did a awesome job on my beard he takes his time to give the customer exactly what they want I’ll never use anyone else but him.

I’ve been getting a haircut with Shaibaan for years now. His attention to details is impressive. For the first time I decided to grow my beard longer and didn’t know how to shape it and line it up. Called him for an appointment. Went there today and the man’s skills are literal Perfection! That’s all I have to say. The lines were incredibly straight, the fade is just on point. I trust him with my eyes closed. The shop itself is also great. Stylish decor, super clean and good location I found parking right in front of it. Thanks Shai!

I went in for my first proffessional skin tight fade and haircut since before the pandemic. Shaibaan fixed my uneven hair and restored me to my former glorious self. I am reminded just how much i love myself and how important self care is. Thank you Shaibaan!

Shai is the man! Been a client of his for almost 3 years now and can’t imagine seeing anyone else. Always will keep you fresh and the whole experience doesn’t even feel like a haircut. More like seeing a homie honestly. Highly recommended to anyone!

When I need that extra edge in life, I know Shaibaan will make it happen. He is phenomenal. I always leave the chair knowing I’m presenting the best representation of myself to the world.Thanks Shaibaan!

Shaibaan is AWESOME! He knows exactly what he is doing and knows what your hair needs no matter the hair type. Many years of experience and very trust worthy. Let Shaibaan do your hair, you will not regret it!!

Shaibaan was great and had great ideas for my hair and beard. The place had a nice and relaxing environment.

Shaibaan is the absolute best! I first met him as I was a walk in at another barber shop in the Castro. On subsequent visits, I would always request him. Then he left that location and I wasnt sure where he went. Fortuitously, while I was walking a friends dog about 1 1/2 years ago just a block from where I live, I passed the Barberology shop on Sanchez St. and looked in and saw Shaibaan in action. I was so happy to reconnect with him and have been his loyal client ever since. I even grew a beard so weve now added that in terms of his amazing services for a straight razor trim. Every 2 weeks I visit Shaibaan for a cut and beard trim! Five stars is not enough!

I seldom leave reviews for services unless they spectacularly exceed my expectations. Shaibaan, my barber, should be called an artist as his talent makes him, in my humble opinion, the best barber in San Francisco! I had a haircut, beard trim, and a shave and really felt pampered, with him delivering professionally outstanding results. Book an appointment, get a haircut, and walk out afterwards knowing your looking your best. Shaibaan is magic!

My partner has had his beard trimmed by Shaibaan many times. Ive been impressed by the perfectly sculpted lines in Shaibaans beard trims.

This barbershops services were truly admirable! I didnt expect them to be so effective and professional in the operation.

Shaibaan is a top notch barber! Always delivers the finest of haircuts. I have a bald fade and his attention to detail makes all the difference. He’s always willing to listen if my style has changed and he adapts according to my requests His friendly demeanor makes me feel relaxed and I’ve come to think of him as a friend! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Shaibaan is a national treasure. He is incredibly personable and has a firm but deft hand.

Shaibaan is friendly, welcoming and gives a great haircut. Just down the road for anyone who needs a haircut in the Castro area!

I’ve been coming here for a while and always leave 100% satisfied

Shaibaan is the man! Best barber in the city. Have been seeing him for awhile now and always impressed when he’s finished.

Shai is the best haircut that I’ve gotten in SF in the last 7 years, wife approved.He’s a great guy, easy to talk to, interesting and interested. He’s super consistent, cares about the details, and I leave feeling great about the way I look.He’s super easy to recommend. If you need a haircut, go to Shai.
