I had an excellent experience getting a haircut here. The barber was friendly, professional, and really listened to what I wanted. The cut was precise and exactly what I had asked for, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The staff were polite and attentive, making the whole visit smooth and enjoyable. The shop is clean and well-maintained, and the service felt personal and thorough. I left feeling confident and refreshed, and I’ll definitely return for future haircuts.
Generally I've had good experiences but I asked for a fade today and walked out with this for $45 and had to spend another $45 somewhere else to get it fixed. I'm not naming the barber because he gave me the opportunity to ask for changes and I said no because I'd never had this happen to me before and didn't think to check for it. So I just left and didn't notice it wasnt actually faded until I got home. Just don't leave without making 100% sure you're happy with it.
Joe has anger issues! I came for a haircut and asked for a low fade on the sides, long in the back and on top (the basic gay haircut of 2025). He argued with my instructions and buzzed the sides and back of my hair all the way up. At the end of my haircut, I asked if he could fix it (didn't look like a fade at all), and he got offended and went off on me for being a bad customer. He wouldn't even let me get out of the chair while he was lecturing me! Joe offered me a free haircut, but he wouldn't let me talk for ten seconds without interrupting me and shouting at me. Such a nightmare.
Joe is extremely rude. I brought in my scooter and he yelled at me to put it in the back. I put it in the back and he was still hollering in front of everyone!! On the way out he politely told me I can always put it in the back, but then said I don’t need to be so “nasty” next time? Joe: if you’d like to apologize, feel free to call me. I don’t get why you were so upset at me. It pains me to write this review since I’ve been coming to John and Jennifer for more than a year and they both do a great job. I always tip at least 20%. The conversations I have with John while he cuts my hair are just delightful. I hope I can come back without being verbally attacked, it was a great experience up until today.
Being that this was Pride weekend, these guys were slammed! But, being in tech-savvy SF, they of course had an online sign-up sheet via their website where you could also request a specific barber or not. You could check your place in line whenever you wanted and it was updated in real time. We checked the website which gave an approximate wait time of 60 minutes, so we decided to grab some lunch in the Embarcadero then sign-up on the way back. Suffice to say, the wait grew to 90 minutes an hour later, so we put his name down, customer # 40, and headed back to our hotel which was a few doors down from the shop to wait. A final check on the website had him at # 10 with the first 8 people requesting barbers. "Go down now!" I shouted. Good thing because they were already calling his name. THE SHOP: I saw about 10 or so chairs inside. My spouse was clean and ready to go within a half hour or less. Jerry did a good job. OVERALL: Easy sign in, fair pricing, good fade & cut.
