I think the style of the salon is great! Ive taken pictures in their cool barbering chairs and the stylists there are just about the nicest people Ive ever met in my life. Jorge, Ive known for years, hes a pleasure to always see. Greg is a wonderful barber! Then Ive gotten my haircut from Summer, she is very talented!!! This is a genuinely good group of stylist(s) who care about their professionalism!! They definitely give an experience, not just a haircut!

I was so excited about my visit coming from Texas so my friend called yesterday after 4 to make an appointment. I arrived a min before 4 they saw I black they all loved confused and stated it wasnt the location, my friend called the number the guys phone rings, the lady braiding a kids hair had her nose up like we were beneath that shop.

I took my son here as a walk-in appointment - Nancy gave my son the best haircut he’s ever had. She didn’t buzz him like they do in most barber shops. We will definitely be back!

My favorite place to get cleaned up in town. Super fun shop with amazing chairs. I believe their newest chair is from 1906!

Was passing through town, saw the good reviews and decided to give this place a try for a haircut. It was the worst haircut Ive gotten in many years... cut inconsistently (there were random long hairs that the barber had somehow missed when using the razors), not what I had asked for, and it has grown in awfully. Id try somewhere else if I were you!

Made an appointment over the phone for 10amCame in earlier to see if I could get seen by anyone else earlier.No one was Available so cameBack at my appointment time and I still wasn’t seen on time sat on the chair and I was told they couldn’t cut my hair due to my mask not being the correct one. I mean I was sorry I didn’t know there was specific mask for a haircut.I was wearing one it just wasn’t the right oneI just don’t see why they didn’t tell me before hand to get a different one when I first came in ?so I left without a haircutWill I be coming back most likely notBut looks like a great place

Excellent experience - we drive there from Agoura Hills for haircuts now as they are fantastic. McKenzie is an awesome stylist. The place is clean, professional, and designed very well. Price is well worth the drive to Santa Barbara.

Was really impressed with my haircut. The owner creatively moved his operation outside to abide by health code requirements and still delivered a great haircut.

Always a great haircut all the Barber shop. Ive visited both the Ventura and SB locations, 4 different barbers. Theyve always taken their time to get all the small details right.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The staff is friendly and welcoming and the barbers are extremely talented and a joy to talk to as you get a haircut. My guy is Steven Navarro who has become a good friend after years of haircuts. I would not think to get my hair cut by anyone else.

I had an appointment at 5:00 pm and the barber had already left. This is very unprofessional and disrespectful with clients time. The other barber that was there didn’t even try to accommodate us.

Excellent hair cut, courteous staff. Ill definitely go back. That was a year ago. Not anymore. Barber was an hour late to the appointment. After my Yelp review, suddenly, the haircut was going to be comped and I just missed my barber. Only...it was an hour. My wife came to pick me up, so as I left without a haircut, we moved her car, and walked past the shop (10 minutes later), and still no barber. Must be new math. I wont be going back.

Took my 5 year old for a haircut and it was a great experience. Barber Ito gave him an excellent cut and best of all my son behaved and sat still the whole time. Way to go guys...the shop looks great too!

This amazing barbershop is a perfect mix of old fashion barbershop sensibilities and new millennium style. Old fashioned barber chairs, beer if you want it, and several barbers able to deliver a cut thats will make you stand out.I needed a haircut for my daughters wedding. I picked this place from Google maps and couldnt be any happier with my choice. The owner is a gracious host and an excellent barber himself. The vibrating neck massage was an unexpected exclamation point to my trip to the barber.

A lot of attention to detail and Reilly does a touch up on little hairs after a week. I find it hard to get a good hair cut, but this place did amazing. Only downside was the price. Most expensive hair cut Ive had.

Walked in, without an appointment and was seen by Israel after a few minutesWas intending to only have a wet shave but i was so impressed with him i decided to get haircut, goatee trimmed and th shave...best decision i have made in a long timeEverything was perfection ( a word i rarely use these days for a service business)...Israel was friendly and exceptionally skilled...got the best cut and goatee shaping in over 15 years...the shave was totally relaxing and hugely enjoyable...all in all this was a 5 star experience at what i consider to be a very reasonable cost for the luxury and skill involvedThe premises are uniquely decorated ( in a good way), the barber chairs the most comfortable i have ever sat in and the people watching is pricelessgive them a try...you will not be disappointed...Israel, you now have a customer for life

Inexperienced and overpriced barbers. Very unorganized barbershop with each barber operating completely independently. Ive tried 4 different barbers here and all have been pretty bad to mediocre. This place also wasted many hours of my time when I tried to book it for two hours and get ready with my groomsmen for my wedding. At first they suggested it, then told me theyd have to check with the other barbers, then after many phone calls and emails they dropped the ball and didnt reserve the time properly. Im done with this place and suggest you go to supercuts down the street for a better and cheaper haircut.****in response to owners post below:Didnt go to supercuts for my wedding, that would be ridiculous. That was merely a metaphor for how poor the service is at your establishment. You never had us locked in, I came by the shop many times in the weeks leading up to my wedding only to find none of your barbers had me scheduled in. I ended up going to Santa Barbara Barbers on Ortega. The owner immediately notified all of the barbers to reserve that 2 hour block so our group of 14 could get shaved and cut before the wedding. He even stocked some of my favorite beer for me. That was the service I expected from your shop but you massively failed.

Went there without an appointment, but the owner, Jorge, was able to squeeze me in later that day. Got an excellent and well-needed haircut with some of the best service Ive ever gotten, all for a very affordable price (only 30$). I highly recommend this place!
