6545 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92115, United States

“By far one of the best haircuts I've had in a long while. Mike is a fantastic premier barber and he perfectly captured the hair style that I requested. The overall atmosphere of Pappy's felt quite pleasant and welcoming. I'm most definitely coming back for future haircuts!”

27241 La Paz Rd Suite A, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, United States

“10/10 experience today. Was offered a beverage after I checked in. Claire did an excellent job at interpreting the hair style I wanted and was flexible to my needs. The best part had to be the hot face towel accompanied by an amazing head massage. Loving the new cut, will be going back”

“Well this is long over due and have been wondering to post a review but I wanted take some time out to write down how I felt at this salon. From the moment I stepped into it, I knew I was in for an extraordinary experience because of their professionalism. I write reviews rarely. Bethany styled my hair and she isn't just a hairstylist; she's a true artist with a delightful personality. On my first day at a new job, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, I entrusted my hair to Bethany. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Bethany has a rare gift. Not only does she have an exceptional talent for styling hair, but she also possesses a wonderfully calm and positive energy that instantly puts you at ease. Her ability to understand and execute exactly what I wanted was nothing short of professionalism at its best. She transformed my hair into a masterpiece that boosted my confidence immensely. What truly sets Bethany apart, though, is her incredible personality. Her genuine care and attention to detail are evident in every snip and style. She listens, she advises, and she works her magic with a smile that's both comforting and inspiring. For me the atmosphere in Bishops salon was warm, inviting, and positive. Thanks to Bethany, I walked into my new job feeling confident and fabulous. She didn't just style my hair; she uplifted my spirit. If you're seeking a hair artist who can make you look and feel your absolute best, Bethany is the one. Her skills are unmatched, her demeanor is enchanting, and her talent is, indeed, beyond amazing. It is gonna be my to go salon going forward.”

“The staff at Ricks are amazing. Very friendly and welcoming. Jasmine has been cutting my hair and she’s honestly one of the best barbers I have ever met! I have had my hair cut but at least 5 barbers there and they are all just as good! Thank you!!! JP”

2150 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114, United States

“I’ve been coming here for well over a decade and I couldn’t imagine having to look for another barber in the city. I’m not very picky and am always able to walk in throughout the week. I trust all the barbers here to do a great job for hair or beard.”

620 Watt Ave, Sacramento, CA 95864, United States

“First time I went to Sacred, the staff super friendly. Donnie G gave one of the best haircuts I've ever had, I asked for suggestions and he was super cool and told me what would work with my hair. Definitely coming back. 10/10”

2027 Third St, Livermore, CA 94550, United States

“Updated review: Went again recently. My previous complaint was that they didn't take walk ins and didn't tell me that until I had waited for a while (they told me I could wait, and then when I asked about how long the wait was they told me that they were booked till the end of the day... which seems like something they could have been forthcoming about up front.) This time they took me as a walk in at the 2nd Street shop. (I called in advanced to make sure they were taking walk ins.) My hair will stand straight up if cut too short but they did a good job on the first cut.”

4541 La Sierra Ave, Riverside, CA 92505, United States

“Booked an appointment with Isaac for 9 am. When I arrived he wasn't there yet but shop had just opened so figured he'd be in shortly. Only 1 barber was in the shop already with a customer. Sign said cash only so used their ATM to withdraw cash for the cut and a tip. $3 fee, mind you. Only for the barber not to show. I waited and at 930 they tried to find another barber for me since Isaac wasnt responding. At 940 AM they found someone but it was foing to take them at least 30 minutes to arrive. Front receptionist kept apologizing. Wasted my time and was late to work. So much for reserving my appointment online... only to get stood up. What's crazy though is so many of the barbers had morning appointments yet only 1 barber was in. Went elsewhere and got my hair cut, would not come back here. Truly disappointed. Spent $3 to withdraw money for the cut and tip that I didn't even get to receive.”

11923 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90064, United States

“Just moved to LA, and held off trying to find a barber until I was recommended Andy. Instantly, he built rapport, acknowledged a lack of trust exists with first time cuts, and outlined how he cuts hair and his approach. Instantly had my trust and he gave an incredible haircut. Additionally, wicked friendly, thoughtful, and genuine. Bringing back what a barbershop should be after that somewhat disappeared after Covid. Not to mention very fair pricing for the skill level he has.”

821 E South St, Long Beach, CA 90805, United States

“Fast and excellent service. Have gotten 2 great fades from here. Their appointment option saves me so much time totally worth the fee. I will continue coming back here.”

5030 Laguna Blvd UNIT 106, Elk Grove, CA 95758, United States

“Took my son to get a haircut for the first time today , came out nice , but the barber miss a few hairs but easy fixed. I like to support small businesses, and this barber salon did an amazing job.”

21991 El Toro Rd, Lake Forest, CA 92630, United States

“Made an appointment for Monday. Even though it says closed, online you can still make appointments for Monday. I even called and asked to make sure I can make an appointment for Monday and the guy on the phone said yes we still take appointments. Show up at 10 today and no one's there. Very unprofessional.”

1614 1/2 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91506, United States

“Been a client of Oscar’s ever since it opened. I left Cali (for work) and every time I’d come back to see the family would go get a haircut at Oscar’s. I’m sure you’ll find a barber at Oscar’s that will suite your taste and you’ll surely become a regular. I came back to Cali for good and Oscar’s continues to be my go-to-barber shop. Eventually you become family!!”

2265 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114, United States

“I met Irene through chance and my hair has been Amazing ever since. I have long femme hair and I get the nape shaved/ undercut. This Barber does a GREAT job. I love going to a barbershop rather than a salon. Super easy booking too!”

4425 Convoy St, San Diego, CA 92111, United States

“This is my first time coming to this location. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The food and the service is ok. The food here to grill yourself is expensive, minimum order to grill is 2 items and each item is over $29 per, not worth to come here and grill on your own. The food does taste good but pricey. If your hungry and don’t want to wait, come check this place out. What to expect here: Enough parking spaces No wait time Here is a list of foods I ordered and my bill was over $70”

902 W San Marcos Blvd B, San Marcos, CA 92078, United States

“I'm just walking out of this place for the first time and can safely say that this is my new favorite barber shop. Jessie cut my hair and it was a great experience. He is extremely nice and did a great job. Their prices are very reasonable. I will be coming here and only hear from now on. This was a great experience.”

7456 Foothills Blvd suite 2 & 3, Roseville, CA 95747, United States

“Highly recommend The Rose Barbershop! I came across this shop recently due to the other great reviews posted and glad I did. I booked my appointment with Brenden and he did an amazing job. He cut it exactly how I wanted and from a personal recommendation Brenden offered it came out even better than expected. Highly recommend booking with him. The shop was busy with all barbers taking care of their clients but in a very organized manner. The shop is clean, great vibe and I will be booking again for sure! The only feedback I would provide is offer card payment or venmo. I am one that hardly pays with cash but at least there was an ATM available inside. I found my go to place!”

318 E Shields Ave, Fresno, CA 93704, United States

“We had a GREAT experience here for our twin 2.5 year old toddlers’ haircuts. The service was great, so friendly and they made our boys feel so comfortable with a Superman drape and a lollipop for sitting well during their haircut. We appreciate the kindness and patience of the barber 💈and also the skill to create such a great fresh and clean look for our boys all while staying safe (even when one of my sons would move unexpectedly here or there). Thank you so much!! We highly recommend this neighborhood and family-friendly barbershop!”
