From small heads to big heads, round to flat. Nick Cantu cuts them all. My nephew went to Nick to get his haircut and I must say, what a fantastic job. One would say you leave a better person after a fresh cut and a conversation with your barber, hence the reviews. He's a great guy with a mastered craft. My nephew and I gladly put our trust in his hands.
I’ve been getting my haircuts with Nicholas Cantu, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s cool, easy to talk to, and always makes you feel comfortable in the chair. On top of that, he’s genuinely skilled at what he does, every cut comes out clean and exactly how I want it. If you’re looking for a barber who’s professional, talented, and just great to be around, Nicholas is the one.
I have to give a huge shout out to Nick at G Circle Barbershop. My baby brother has been going to Nick for a long time even before Nick joined this shop, and that says everything. Nick is literally the only person he trusts with his hair now. Watching that level of trust between a barber and a client is nice. Nick doesn’t just give a good haircut, he gives a sense of comfort and confidence. What I love most is the dynamic they have. When my brother sits in Nick’s chair, he seems less shy. they talk, joke around, and my brother genuinely feels seen. I used to stay for the whole appointment just to hang out, but now I actually step away and let them have their time. I meet him afterward because I know my brother is in good hands, not just with the haircut, but in the environment. It makes me happy to see my brother connect and feel at home there. Nick isn’t just talented he’s consistent, professional, and creates a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. That’s why he has loyal clients, and that’s why my brother will always go back. Highly recommend. If you’re looking for someone who listens, remembers you, and truly cares about the result go see Nick Cantu.
I’ve been going to Nick for years, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. He always takes his time, knows exactly what I like, and the cut is perfect every single time. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely good person—always great conversation and good vibes in the shop. If you’re looking for a barber who actually cares about his craft and his clients, this is the one.
I’ve been going to Cantu for a long time, and ever since he moved to G Circle, I haven’t gone anywhere else. Cantu has a true mastery of haircutting and grooming -- his fades are always clean and graceful. When he uses scissors, his precision and care really stand out. He inspires complete confidence that your hair will turn out just right.
