This is a nice place to come to get your hair cut. There’s so many people that come here it’s on the walk in basis. So I’m your name inside and wait they only take cash

Its a great old style Barbershol. Go woman it runs the place is a great Barber and she gives a great shave. I cant wait for the pandemic restrictions to be lifted so I can go back and have her put some great lines back in my beard

The haircut was mediocre. If you want to be dominated in conversation by someone who has a sharp object to your head go here. They know everything (or they think they do). I was given a lecture on Japanese American history. Mind you, I am Japanese American and I’m well aware of my cultual heritage.I called ahead of time being sure to make an appointment due to Covid. They told me to just come in (in a hasty tone) and that they will be gone at 6. Thankfully they fit me it and got me taken care of. The dialogue just made me uncomfortable since she ran the entire conversation and was not open to any comments or anything I had to say.

Been coming here in and off since I lived in the San Mateo area. I recently moved to San Jose and have recently come back during the pandemic to get cuts here and its always worth the extra drive. Gloria is very professional and very easy to talk to. Its a relaxing environment and she makes you feel very comfortable. Even during the pandemic and all the strict guidelines that are presented, she follows them in accordance and makes you feel safe. Highly recommend to anyone near or far!

COVID 19 finally drove my barber of 40 years to close his business. I tried All Star based on the great reviews. It was a perfect experience. Gloria is personable, professional, and did a great job. Ill be back.

The owner was nothing short of awesome. I have been to two other people during this pandemic and both butchered my hair. This nice lady cut it perfectly and in about 10 minutes start to finish. I absolutely recommend 💯.

FANTASTIC experience. Walk-ins welcome so they are great in a pinch, do require cash only but its fine because its what I do normally anyways. Gloria always makes sure youre comfortable and happy and has the best time you can. I dont know the guys name but if youre going to get a haircut from All Star I would recommend not getting him. Works way too fast and doesnt pay attention to details. Love this place and will be my future barber :)

Review №17

Disappointing is an understatement. It was a Saturday and I was in urgent need of a trim. Unfortunately my regular barber was unavailable this weekend and I had to settle for an alternate. One stylist with a walk in basis is how this barbershop was functioning on Saturday evening which was just not efficient, but I decided to wait and take the plunge.I requested for a fade on my sides with a one and two clipper while the top to have the hair length from a three clipper with more hair in the front for styling. Nothing was achieved . The haircut was bland and for 30$ there was absolutely no styling, no fading, or any sharpness in the cut. Might as well gone to supercut or similar.The other thing which irked me was the way the clippers, scissors, brushes, etc. were not sanitized between clients. They are all kept in a bunch on the table behind the barber who takes and uses as needed. I had a beard trim along with the haircut and hair from the clipper went into my eyes, only god knows whose hair that was. Also, my beard trim resulted in removal of most of my beard, which was clearly adding salt to an already badly injured wound.Wish they have more barbers/stylists or provide appointments which would be more efficient. Also, wish sanitary standards are not compromised!2 stars only for the hot towel at the end.Not going to head here again but thankfully its just hair and it will grow back!

Say hello to Gloria while she cuts your hair. She is friendly, upbeat and does a great job as a barber. After your haircut she places the warm moist towel on my head which is a nice way to end it.

Gloria has been cutting my hair now for about a year. She does an excellent job. I have sent my friends and family members here and everyone loves her. Good quality and only $20. I will keep coming here and will keep promoting her business because its probably the best barber shop in the peninsula do to the price and my sexy hair cuts I get every 3 weeks. Come on down ladies and gentleman, you got to meet Gloria. Great barber and person.

Gloria is great - fast, consistent haircuts, at a reasonable price. She also does straight-razor shaves, which I treat myself to from time to time.Ive moved a few miles away, but havent been willing to roll the dice on a new barber.Cash-only, so I have to remember to hit the ATM before I go.

The last and only place I will get my haircut! The best cut in the peninsula, worth the short wait & price. Ive had $50 and $10 haircuts at other places which I regret. Even when I change my style here they wont let me leave with a bad haircut...simply the best.

I have been coming here for years after getting my hair cut at other places. If you dont need crazy designs and dont want to fork out $40+ for a simple snip then Gloria has got your back.

Curls beware. Friendly and clean, but one of the worse cuts Ive had in a long time. Ive got curly hair, so you may have a better experience, but Ill be heading to my regular barber soon to see if she can fix this mess at all.

One barber 4 customers. on a friday you know you will be busy why not have the right coverage. hair cut was basic. i think the price was not worth the haircut. 25$ for a fade. dont understand the people rating this place so high they must never never been to a true barbershop. just because ypure store front says barbershop that doesnt make you one. it was more like a supercuts.

Review №60

I went in to get a haircut l. Had to wait for 2 hours. Thought it was worth it but it was not. I was trying to get a clean/professional cut. She was not taking her time with my hair. Guess she was in a hurry. I dont blame her though, shes the only one working there. Left long hairs all over. Tapers were horrible. The fade was the worst. Uneven fade; one side was higher. The other side had a bump. If your looking for a clean/professional cut, this is not the place to go to. Not worth the $25.

A quality haircut for $20. Friendly barber, with authentic conversations when you want them, and nothing else when you dont. Parking is a struggle sometimes, so plan accordingly.The foam, shave and hot towel at the end doesnt hurt either :)To sum it up for you: Cash Only, Walk-in friendly, $20, Good folks!
