REVIEWS OF Charles Blades Barber Spa IN California

Glenn Watson

Great place with a trendy vibe. All the guys in there are really chilled.

Harley J. Siskin

I've always had excellent experiences here, no matter who cuts my hair. Recommended highly!

Michael Saxby

Get little place I was just a walk in....did a great job....and a open bar...

Sam Fiona

I had an awesome first experience at Charles Blades yesterday with Julie. I felt comfortable and welcomed as soon as I walked in. Julie is super talented and fun to talk to, I'll definitely be back. So glad I found this place!

D Pei Wu

Chris was friendly and knowledgeable and understood about needing a cute but very low maintenance cut for this queer GNC Chinese organizer.

Anthony Noah

The staff was friendly knowledgable and professional I will definitely go back

Dustin S

Charles Blades is an awesome place. The people are great and the haircut from Drewski always leaves me happy. Thanks for the awesome service. Highly recommended.

Fedor Vasilyev

Thought this was a fine haircut, unfortunately when I got home and took a closer look I saw a decent chunk of hair missing above my right ear. Photos of both sides included (the cleanup around the ears isn’t great on the “properly done” side either). Hoped that this place would be a decent barbershop here in Oakland but looks like that’s not going to be it. On the plus side, there’s free beer, although with that quality the cut isn’t nearly worth $35 even with beer included (lining up both sides properly is 101-level stuff which you can get done right even at Supercuts). Edit: after taking a shower I saw that the hair on the top of my head is visibly longer on one side than on the other (left side is longer than right side). This is so amazingly bad that I just don't know what to say. Changing to a (very well deserved) 1 star. Don't go here unless you have another $40 to spend on fixing your hair afterwards.

Marsha Nunes

Very friendly service, timely as well! I'm usually able to get whatever appointment time I need. Good variety of barber options. Everyone's super communicative and team centered. Love this place.

Paul & Graham Hazell & Cruickshank

Skilled team with wonderful positive vibe. I leave with a great cut and a big smile.

Tomas Janusas

The best barber shop! Cool staff, awesome soundtrack and cold beer served... Oh yeah, and I am always happy about my haircut

Doug Bell

Julie is fantastic. Don't miss out on a great cut and the kind of barber shop banter you grew up with.

Marlon Johnson

First time coming here didn't expect much, but walked in and felt the warm vibe of the hairstylist/barbers. Was offered some drinks or candy for waiting. When it came to my haircut, it was perfectly lined, not far back nor overdone, it was just right. I'm coming back again for a high-low fade. The design is top notch also.

Dan Hagerty

Every barber here is so skilled and cool. Been going for years. Keeps getting better. Have a beer or whisky while you wait!

Timothy Cranford

I have been going to Charles blades barber shop for about two years, every two week. I like the atmosphere they've created...my wife is even comfortable going with my son. A little small when crowded, but they do their best to make patrons feel welcomed.

Julian Prokay

I have been a customer of Charles Blades for well over 5 years now. He always makes me look 10 times better than when I enter and is a great conversationalist. In the past, I would fear having to talk with my barber, but with Charles, I look forward to the opportunity to sit in his chair. Charles and the rest of his crew really have built a community-focused barbershop and it shows. Come by if you like a great cut, a beer (if you are so inclined!), jazz, and a welcoming atmosphere!

Danica Nungaray

I get all kinda of wonderful compliments on my hair, Bella is so good!

Terry Nordstrom

Best experience ever. Came in for a haircut, goatee trim and shave the morning of my wedding. Can't praise them enough. Nasir did an amazing job. Left feeling relaxed and spruced up for the big day.

Michael Hook

Literally everything you're hoping for in a neighborhood barber shop and much more. The shop has been around for over 10 years and has it dialed. Karen gave me a solid cut and beard trim and was absolutely delightful company. The waiting room is super comfy, there's free beer, and there was great free street parking out front. Definitely my new spot.

Nicholas Doering

I've gotten a haircut here a few times, and it is a really great time; If you're used to going to a hair salon it's going to blow your mind. The barbers are always bantering with each other keeping things interesting, and everyone here knows how to cut a man's hair. The more experienced barbers have been cutting hair for 20 or 30 years, and it really shows. Coming here after getting your hair cut by a "stylist" and not a barber will change the way you think about your hair, and you will be really upset you haven't always used a barber. Just so you are aware, this isn't a discount hair salon, you aren't going to walk out of here spending $15, and your hair won't look like you spent $15 on it either. It will look good, and it will last you for months, you won't need to come back a week later because they butchered your head. It might be more expensive than you're used to for a haircut, but it's worth it.

Justin Brown

Drew gives the best fades

Clifford Brown

Great barber's doing good things

John L_02

I'm a returning customer of Charles Blades when in the Jack London area! Professional, friendly, cuts are priced well and timely associates. Make sure to book your appointment online! Thank you Charles and see you soon!

Conrad Taylor

Very professional and a very good customer experience.

Jeffrey Martin

Comfortable, welcoming, experienced - nice spot, glad to have found it!

Juan Dunn Sr

Charles was very personable and a very, very good barber. He is very professional and personally thank EACH customer as they leave. He and all the barbers greet each person upon arrival as well. I HIGHLY recommend this barbershop and am definitely returning.

Frank Lee

Great place, great people!!

Richie Conroy

Great work, super nice guy. Always prompt and easy to walk over from my office during my lunch

Joel Dickson

Charles was a consummate professional barber. My goal was to find a good environment for my 11 year old sone to get a hair cut. Growing up barber shops were the hubs of community engagement, something I want for my son. Goal met!

Francisca Tonge

Thank you Charles for hooking Abdel up. We came in on Thursday, 10/17/19. We had an 1130am appointment. Charles was very professional. Greeted us, offer us drinks, he was right on time. Listened to what we wanted him to get done etc. very friendly and pleasant. The shop is clean and very welcoming. Not loud, not rowdy nor noisy. Most of all Charles is a great artist and craftsman. Great at what he does and loves what he does. Hope to see you in Sweden when you come to Europe Bro. Thanks again for a great service!

Lisa Love

Charles was extremely responsive. I wanted to send my father and nephew to a barber shop that was professional but relaxed and they exceeded my expectations. My father had a facial for the first time and Bella worked miracles. Drew did a great job lining up my nephew. I hope the experience and awesome customer service sets the standard for my father when he returns back home. When he returns to the Bay Area again I will be taking him back. I recommend making your appointment early!

Dennis Adams

Clean shop, friendly and professional staff. I've yet to have any issues with their appointment system. I can always count on them for a timely and clean cut.

Damon Bell

Great people and great vibe. Prices are reasonable and service exceptional. Worth the drive from SF!!

Nicolas Bearde

Always professional, courteous and very hip. Charles and his team provide a unique and engaging environment that's well beyond your average barbershop. It's a great spot to get your "doo" corrected, meet interesting, creative people and learn a few things about this ever-changing world we live in.

Jean Brune

A classy shop. Great location. Great conversations. And, Charles is a master barber. I'm a New York brother and anyone who knows brothers, especially New York brothers, knows we are beyond anal about our hair and Charles is a barber I could trust to cut my hair in preparation for any event or important meeting, which is a source of confidence for me.

James Petrillo

Bella was amazing. She understood what I wanted and executed perfectly. This shop all around is a 10. Charles welcomed me as I walked in and I felt the customer service from start to finish. If you're looking for a great cut with amazing customer service this is the shop for you. Every cut I saw leave the shop looked amazing. Come give them a shot and I assure you you'll be happy. Cheers!

James Parker

Great haircut. Fast service and low prices.Very knowledgeable and flexible.

Josh Kennedy

Received two haircuts from Charles' crew and they always give me better than I expect (based on other stylists and salons). Will continue to return.

Lee Silence

Made a Sunday appointment after a DISASTROUS Saturday haircut at some salon in Alameda. Everybody as warm and inviting...offer me a beer and fixes the disaster that was my hair. Thanks Tony and gang! You are now my place for cuts and I will definitely refer others to any of you!

Rowan Edwards

Charles Blades offers what we seek in a service industry, namely, to feel like a local. It's not just about service. It's about the experience of feeling like you are with your tribe and the qualities that comes from that: friendship, trust, support, and safe haven from the stresses of the world. I go to get trimmed and styled by Ethan Ibarra. Ethan is relatively new to the art form, but lacks nothing in desire to be the best at what he does. And he does it well. My fades, trims, clean ups or what have you, are just what I ask for. I often just give a bit of info and let Ethan take it from there since he has great intuition of not only of what i might be looking for but also of what is necessary for my look. This is a rare gift and adds great value when the two are combined. Go to Charles Blades.You might even witness some of the quality tribe come by in the manor of Xavier Dphrepaulezz aka Fantastic Negrito.

Ned Hugar

Great professional, affordable haircut. Fun environment, great staff

H. Aldabbas

Wonderful place.

Kathryn Davis

First time there - nice shop and welcoming people. Karen B talked to me for 5 minutes about what I wanted. Perfect haircut. Won’t go anywhere else.

Parker Bugosh

Great group of barbers here. Super friendly, always accommodating, and the skills on the clippers are oozing! Thanks for taking care of me every time I come in!

Joseph Blea

This is the spot to be in! All the barbers are top notch and they have great conversation. You will not be disappointed with your visit here. Bella is who cuts me but I see some good cuts coming from the other folk too!

L Jordan

Great atmosphere and good people, Charles is probably the most neighborly person I've ever met. The broad spectrum of people who come into the shop always makes the conversation interesting to participate in as well as just listen too. Very happy my brother let me know about this spot. Also great environment for kids.

Cliff Carey

Some places have a certain feel. A sense that you’ve been there before and that no matter what you’re welcome to come by anytime and to stay as long as you like. That’s the experience I had at Charles Blades. I was seen to by the man himself but it was clear that every other barber-artist in the establishment was worth their salt as well. To say that I was - no, am- impressed wouldn’t do justice to how if felt walking into and, maybe more importantly, walking out of this spot. If you’re in Oakland, check it out. If not, maybe consider venturing over to see for yourself.

steven avery

I like getting my hair cut here - my boy Tone does a bang up job and he tells a tall tale while he does it.

N N

Charles is absolutely professional and down home at the same time! My haircuts are precise. I tell him what I'm looking for and I get it.

Rasmey Luos

Best low razor fade I've ever gotten in my travels! Amazing hospitality and conversation! True artistry!

Kevin Kolhede

The way a barbershop should be. Definitely going to Charles Blades from here on out.

Jeff Rapson

Always a great experience. First-rate hair cutting, terrific vibes. A little pricey, but you can always be assured of an excellent cut.

TrevzorFTW

Great place, awesome vibes, rad experience, and worth the dollars.

Faraz Khan

Amazing place and vide. Tony is an artist!

Minkoff Aaron

Go to barber shop, every barber here has done a great job. Service, prices, and hospitality are great.

Heath Pope

Cool spot, great cut. Thanks Chris. People comment on my cut.

Julian Alvarez

Great barbershop! The vibe and overall experience was amazing.

Endique Jackson

great haircut, great location, and great people. come here. you will leave completely satisfied.

smarsman

I love these guys but two out of the last three times I had my haircut there, I had to have it recut. The first time Charles himself left a big patch uncut which he fixed the next day. Then I got a very good cut from the young man who cuts even though he was very fast. I went back to him and he moved so fast, that he messed my hair up so bad, that I had to go to another barber and spend another $40 to fix it, which means it was essentially an $80 haircut. I doubt I'll go back even though they're so nice and very convenient to where I live. One out of three just isn't good enough for me.

badboys security

This place is awesome my son is very pleased hes in and out with his appointment time.

john schreiner

Julie is amazing! She actually listens and does exactly what I ask. I'm super picky about my hair and she delivers. This last cut she even took a photo to document her badassery. I usually wear a hat when my haircut either sucks or has gotten too long. With Julie I now only wear a hat when I want to.

Albero Berul

Great vibe, great conversation, great vibe. This will be my routine barber shop for as long as I live in the area. Thanks guys!

Joseph Glenn

Been going here over a year now. Love the vibe and local feel of the place. They offer free beer while you wait. Nice to see a diverse staff too.

vinceo2b

Great customer service and professionalism.

Nik Steinberg

Staff and vibe are great. Consistently great cuts and super convenient online scheduling system.

Rohan Bhatia

Great haircut and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

James Heiler

The guy who cut my hair rushed me and charged $35 for a basic buzz cut. I would not recommend

Fowana Terry

I like, pretty diverse group of people the time I went. They made it an easy experience for a noob like me.

D'Andre Nelson

Clean, classic, and diverse barber shop, everyone has an upbeat, excellent attitude, very friendly. The shop, modern, but the feel of old school, excellent atmosphere I recommend this barbershop to anyone the cares about their appearance, the four barbers give great looking haircuts and are very professional, so once again if your looking for a great shop this is the place

thad jones

Great shop in JLS. Drew cut my hair and was always on point!

Matt Sain

Skill. Personality. Comfort. Uniqueness. Diversity. This place is the best barbershop I've been to around the world.

Adam Worthington

Tony and the guys at Charles Blades do a fantastic job at both cutting hair and making you feel welcome in their shop. Tony is great to talk to, and runs off a seemingly endless supply of enthusiasm for whatever the conversation is at the time. This shop is the first place that makes me feel like my barber is as invested in my hair looking good as I am. Will definitely be my goto haircut joint for the foreseeable future.

Jennifer Linderman

This place is rad! I took my 13 year old son there for his first barber experience and Tony was terrific! My son got a super fabulous haircut just the way he wanted it! Highly recommend!!

Green Rifle

Recently took my 9 year-old son to get a cut with Chris. So wishing I'd found this lovely barber shop when I first moved to Oakland! Good location, fun and relaxing vibe and decor. Charles greeted us kindly when we first walked in and Chris stepped up just seconds later. Chris was just a delight to talk to, listened attentively and gave great styling suggestions. This all resulted in a really smart cut for my son who is just starting to really care about his 'look'. Charles handed my son a graphic novel to read during his cut, which added to the perfect experience. First excellent barber/salon experience in Oakland after three years of mostly 'expensive and meh'.

Robert Wilson

Great spot ... I was in Berkeley and it’s in Oakland ... def worth the ride ... felt like home and the cut is dope and fast considering every chair was booked and moving quick

Beth Leonardo

I bring by 6 year old son to Tony at Charles Blades, and he always gives him the coolest cuts. The entire staff and even the customers engage with my kids while we are there, and the community feel of the place makes it really comfortable right away. As a bonus the shop has an eclectic artsy vibe with rustic wood, mounted skateboards, comic memorabilia (and a PBR for us adults).

Barry Lewis

Excellent service in an incredibly fun atmosphere. Impeccable 1st class personal attention with expertise in their craft. Charles and Tony are excellent barbers and create a warm welcoming shop for you to take care of your hair and beard.

Kellan Alexander

From the top: Shop is clean, professional and well decorated. You're offered a beer upon entry, too. Feels like a community. I had my hair cut by Charles, who is so experienced and skilled he makes it look easy. He asks the right questions. Killer beard trim. Will be returning. Recommend this shop highly.

Jae Dubois

Great atmosphere. Very friendly and professional staff.

Alison Leaf

My daughter had a great experience & and even greater haircut! Highly recommend. We will be back.

Traci Bartlow

Charles Blades Barber Spa is a great experience. They have skilled and personable barbers and it's a great atmosphere.

Mr. Blank

rio combat oakland

Great place. Julie, charles and staff are super cool...definitely a great place i would recommend to everyone thats looking for a cut...

Frank Moura

Charles did a great job cleaning me up for my holiday travels. My unruly and neglected beard looks great and didn't scare the grand kids. I will be a repeat customer.

tripp allen

Top notch mop chop by seasoned professionals

Ian Petrich

Great spot, friendly owner and great haircuts every time.

Wayne Riley

Great shop, great barber. Sets a tone that makes you comfortable from the start. Enjoyed the cut and conversation!

Martin Bush

Relaxing and comfortable space. Easy conversation. Had the pleasure of meeting Charles, great balance of personable and professional. He really took care of me. My hair looks great. Overall a great experience. Give 'em a try.

Ainsley Blattel

I can't say enough good things about Charles Blades Barber Spa! I go see Julie Nichols to get my hair cut, but everyone on the shop is amazing. The staff is super friendly, accommodating, attentive, and skilled at what they do. The atmosphere is so fun, my haircuts usually end up being the highlight of my weekend!

William Dickenson

Great cut and super friendly! Drew is the guy for a cut.

Max Chanowitz

A warm and welcoming atmosphere, always have dope music playing. The barbers definitely know what they're doing, and are adept with hair of all kinds. Great folks, great cuts.

Veronica Montiel

Very Kid friendly. My son loved his new haircut! Thank you Charles!

Rafael S

Excellent service and convenient app for appointments. The old school neighborhood barbershop is back. Relaxed atmosphere, good music and a crew that understands how important is a good quality haircut.

John Beaver

Great cut by a great barber!

Adam Kroll

Super friendly, nice atmosphere and a great cut. This will be my barbershop from now on.

Troy Wyatt

Always a friendly environment, great people both working and getting their hair cut.

Jacob Leithner

Bella did an amazing job, it’s hard to find a barber shop I like when I move. The ambience is amazing, great conversation from Mr. Blades and the other barbers with the guests. I will absolutely keep coming here!

inasuma

First I want to say that the owner and the people who work at this shop are wonderful people. I've had a chance to speak with most of them and they're cool / down to earth people that I"d enjoy meeting and chatting with at a social event. That said, I'm super disappointed with the customer service. Multiple times now I've scheduled a haircut, go in 5-10 minutes before the scheduled time, and inevitably wait 20+ (sometimes 30-40) minutes AFTER my scheduled appointment time to be seen. I get that you can be overbooked, or that you can have hold ups, but when all the stylists are chatting with each other during their haircuts and generally letting themselves be so distracted, it just adds insult to injury. It's no wonder I can never get in at my scheduled time. Most recently, I left because I had been sitting there unattended for 30 minutes, in total waiting 45 minutes from the time I arrived. Please, plase fix this issue. I love the shop but it's just not fair to customers to deal with this level of disrespect/unprofessionalism.

Mind of MHI

Charles Barber Spa is an all around amazing place! The combination of modern relevance with laid back old school vibe is awesome. The staff are invinting and thier skills are on point for all stlyes and hair types. Deffinetly would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good cut that will look great for weeks...

Chloe Kestermont

This place is filled with wonderfully warm and charming professionals. I always leave with a great haircut and a big smile.

nate toutjian

Great experience at Charles Blades for myself as well as my two young boys! Drewski was our barber and catered to our needs and gave us first rate haircuts!

Brad Katz

I really like this shop, I will be back.

Leon Tchikindas

Amazing spot, great atmosphere. Can't wait for my next cut.

monkey93xf

Trina cuts my curly short hair. She's been great while I've been trying to figure out how I like my hair. I've had my hair cut by Trina I think like 5 or 6 times. Every time I changed the style up and every time it's looked good. The shop has a chill and friendly vibe.

Kristian Wallace

I brought my wedding party here for shaves and beard trims the morning of the wedding. Everyone here was super helpful and great at what they do. They really took care of us and made sure we were taken care of. It was a fun atmosphere with friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Israel Peña

This was a great experience. The vibe was awesome, the staff friedly, and the hair cuts where great... cant wait to come back to this barbershop.

Alexis Ballinger

I absolutely love this place! The staff is professional and I always get a great cut.

Joel Brown

This is a nice clean shop in an up and coming area of Oakland. Charles is a friendly barber that knows his way around hair and beards. The team of Barbers he has surrounded himself with are top notch. It really is a great place to relax, clean up, and enjoy a drink with some good people. Prices are the same as most barber shops, but the service is a cut above.

graham everitt

Excellent service, quality hot shave “Charles” is an artisan barber, highly recommend

Blake Rogers

Hip, trendy barber shop that provides excellent service with from a handful for incredibly talented individuals. Definitely worth the price

Lajaun Willis

The barbers are really cool, the atmosphere is great, and they gave me one of the best cuts I've ever gotten.

Jose Ricardo Torres

Charles' is the best and hip place. His team is relevant and stays up to date with the latest trends and classic styles. Nas is my man! Cheers! Rikki T

Greg Boiles

Charles operates one of the most high-class and comfortable barber experiences in the Bay Area.

Matt Hubbard

I like this place a lot. A good haircut and very conveniently located for me.

Walter Eason

Reminds you of old school barber shop. Friendly barbers, lively conversation and excellent service.

Justin Gabbard

Super friendly staff and a great location. Julie is awesome to work with. Thanks Charles Blades!

Benjamin Horst

I received a haircut from Bella, who has truly a beautiful name. She was personable, professional, and gave a solid fade. Jam up, indeed.

N B L

The atmosphere might be great but all the barbers are not. My husband visited this location with two of our boys for a cut on May 31 around 3:30pm. A woman cut the boys hair who continued to say she had appointments coming in. Apparently she had appointments or did not feel comfortable cutting a child's head. The edging was horrible and the cut was uneven. We were got...$50 for two children's cuts under the age of 12. She made a quick buck and that's it. There is no quality customer service in that. Very disappointed, if she didn't feel comfortable she should not have offered to do the cut for children. Keep in mind, these are not children who were crying or could not sit still. The female barber simply had no skills.

Robert Parker

The epitome of first professionalism and service. Felt warm and welcoming as we walked in the door. The skill and precision of the haircut was second to none. Highly recommend this place.

Truman Rexti

Cost for the haircut did not match the service. Then again, as an african american, only a few barbers in the shop were able to give me the haircut I really wanted. All hair are not created equal. It was a great spot, just that the barber I had did not seem to have experience cutting a black person's hair.

Steven Willis

I'm so glad I found Charles Blades. It saved me after two long weeks of work away from work. I needed a fresh cut badly but absolutely would not settle for any ole thing. Blades is a great atmosphere that has a progressive, inviting vibe. The barbers are polite, skillful and hip. And my Barber hooked me up. If you need a nice professional cut or fade while in the Bay Area...make an appointment at Charles Blades!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

J B

Great atmosphere. Amazing staff. They can cut all types of hair and do all kinds of styles. Super friendly and I always find easy parking.

Ben Arons

Professional and comfortable. My hair came out great as well as my goatee.

Stephanie Katleman

Charles is an absolute gem. Sweetest guy ever and he gave my son a fantaastic cut. I would highly recommend him.

Aswad Aarif

Great service and atmosphere. Nasir is truly a master barber indeed. You get more than a standard shave and a haircut Charles Blades offers the ultimate gentleman's grooming experience.

Cynthia Chandler

Charles is a barber genius - awesome, clean cut provided with a brilliant conversation. I love my visits and look forward to seeing everyone in the shop. Plus I look awesome. As a woman who likes a classic men's cut, I sometimes face a bit of attitude at barber shops. Not here! The clientele is diverse and everyone is embraced. Best barber shop if you demand excellence in style, cut and service.

Emmy Kastning

Tony is the bomb!! Best barber shop I've been to

Matt Heffernan

Always a great cut and cool vibe in the place! Love that the owner is a huge fan of all things comics and movies. Bonus: grab a beer while you wait!

Ashley Jardine

Julie is the BOMB and she adores her job. Can't ask for anything more! Really listens and is attentive. Great job on my hair!! Love the cut!

Wilson Johnson

Nice spot, service was definitely smooth! This guy knows how to pay attention to detail.Buddy Charles open for suggestions when it came time to styling my hair. Much suggested!

Jen Traw

Great haircut, laid back and fun atmosphere.

Jason R

Saw Tony. Solid and super thorough. Spoke with Charles Blades for a few since I took a hiatus from the shop. Always an upbeat vibe with appropriate context for all ages. A well assembled crew who manage to get it right. The first shop I felt comfortable in when I moved to the Bay Area 6 years ago. Thanks.

Eric Samuelson

Great place to get a haircut and grab a beer. Julie does an amazing job.

James Cha

Great place to get a hair cut. Everyone is friendly, the atmosphere is great.

Omar Ali

Great friendly place to get a great haircut. Barbers a talented. I'm not in Oakland often but try to stop by for a stylish cut when I am.

Chris Lowrie

A couple of months ago I was in Oakland for a weekend and needed a haircut. I found Charles Blades Barber Spa and booked an appointment with Bella. Best haircut of my life! So good that I drove back this weekend and I live in Sacramento.

Angie Esswein

I just had my hair cut by Julie Nichols exactly the way I wanted it, actually even better than I envisioned going in. She knew exactly what was possible with my fine hair-type, added detailed texturing with a blade, and styled it super cool. Two of my friends swore by her, and now I totally understand why. Plus the feeling in the salon is so warm and welcoming. You can't go wrong here.

Layne Martin

Great joint for a trim and to add a little bespoke to your day. Charles always has great music playing over the airwaves and there's usually some entertaining banter going on as well.

John Heylin

Decided to try the place out after striking out at other barber shops in the East Bay. "Did your wife cut your hair?" my sister would always ask me. Anyways, got a cut here, and I know nothing about hair so I looked in the mirror and decided "sure, looks good" as I always do. I get home and my wife was like "Wow, where did you get your hair cut? It looks amaze-balls." So there you go. Highly recommend it. It's a bit out of my usual price range but I got compliments for weeks after and have to admit it was well worth it. Plus they gave me a beer while I waited! You folks sure know how to leave an impression.

Smokey Nagata

Excellent! best service + barbers

Uly Ogwah

Excellent service and free beer!!

Michael Chase

Great vibes. Free beer. Good cuts

Indy Nyles

Best barbershop for me. Really nice people and makes you feel at home and part of the community. They try to get to know you and the environment is perfect.

Friendly staff, good music, great haircut and short wait.

Juan Spencer

I've been here at least a half dozen times. I haven't had a haircut that I don't like and I've used a different barber each time. Great vibe, great service and who can beat the free beer?
