“The ALB Experience once again has set a new standard in personal grooming experience. The closing remarks make the difference!!!!!
Stylist: Brad did a phenomenal job, his attention to detail is on another level.“
“Best barber shop in SF, I've tried out so many spots and finally found one that checks off everything I could look for. Talented barbers, very accommodating to clients, great customer service and great vibes!“
“You had me at great cut….
This review has gone unwritten for far too long…. I’ll say this though, almost 2 months later and this style has grown out in the most fantastic way, I still love it!
Not only did Universe provide an amazing and lasting cut, the entire experience was outstanding! We felt welcomed, acknowledged, and really taken care of.
I asked for a shag; my hair was not quite long enough to achieve the absolute desired style but the shape has held strong and the next cut promises to be the shag of my dreams!!
My wife also received a cut, she has long, curly hair- I honestly don’t think that I’ve seen a more flattering cut on her, she loves it!!
One final and important thing to mention- we will be forever grateful to Universe for showing us a kindness during a very difficult time (which is partially the reason why it has taken me so long to get around to writing this). Our beautiful elder dog was quite sick at the time of the appointment so we asked if we could bring her with us; there was no hesitation on their part in graciously welcoming our pup to the shop, it meant the world to us, and the icing is that our 16 year old dog is doing really well!“
“Just got a haircut from Nick at G Circle: such a great result! Definitely one of the best haircuts I've had, inconveniently located here in downtown Oakland! I'll definitely be coming back! I'm very very happy I was recommended to come here, Nick took his time and clearly takes pride in his work, my haircut is very clean and I feel very refreshed, this just made my day! I can't put into words how much I recommend this place! Come try it for yourself!“
“This place is awesome, last time I came here Mike took care of me. He had me looking fresh plus the Charles is an awesome Guy. Feels like a really barbershop for fancy folk to be honest but everyone there is down to earth. Service was great, music was great, and the atmosphere was great as well. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Wanted to gate keep this place but need to share it with people so they also have an awesome experience when they get they cut.“
“There is a first time for everything and my first time getting my haircut a Terrance Barbershop was a great experience. First of all, his Barbershop is one of the cleanest, greatly kept up barbershops I've ever been to. Second, Terrance is nice and great to talk to and really cares about his clients. Third, I don't really care for big barbershops with multiple barbers and multiple people. One barber with one chair and not a lot of people is perfect for me. I highly recommend everyone to have Terrance cut their hair. You have to make an appointment and that's not a hassle. Shoutout to Terrance for hooking up the fade. Terrance is definitely going to be my go to barber!“
“I had my haircut in a fade style and my beard shaved with a razor followed by a smooth finish. The experience was fantastic, and Bilal and Mohammed showcased exceptional professionalism in their work, which was highly appreciated. I will definitely return to repeat the experience and strongly recommend them.
The best Barbershop in the city.“
“As always, Banks is a complete pro and a soothing presence to be around. And his studio is immaculate. I can’t recommend him enough.“

“The experience at this barbershop is unmatched -- the place has great vibes and friendly barbers who really care about providing great service.
Juan has been cutting my hair here for over a year now and he consistently does an amazing job.
If you're looking for a barber that will not let you down -- book a haircut here.“
“Awesome barbershop. Been seeing Angel for my haircuts and beard trims, and he kills it every time. He pays extremely close attention to detail, and gives great suggestions on what he thinks will work best with your hair.
He's also a super nice guy. Highly recommend paying him a visit.“
“Very clear communicator, and a very detailed experience. Top notch barbering and highly recommend any of Diamond's "overhaul" packages. A++++“
“I've been a happy customer for 7+ years. Raf's attention to detail and care for his customers comes through every time I see him even after all these years.“
“Honestly, one of the best experiences I’ve had at a barbershop. Einstein gave me great feedback on my haircut and we changed up my usual style to something that looked better and made me feel more confident. He was kind, helpful, and the cut was great.
He also gave me great taqueria recommendations nearby!“

“Cannot reccomend enough! It's amazing to have a place where I can feel safe and seen and get a gender-affirming haircut. I've been going to Wes for around 2 years now, and they're great. I moved about 20 minutes farther away than I was, but it's still worth the trip.
Stylist: Wes“
“Great barbershop with great talent. Very nicely decor interior and kept very tidy and clean. Perfect for walk-in customers looking to get a a legit fade. Highly recommend ?“
“This is the real deal. So friendly, prompt service, clean old school barbershop. I cannot rave enough of this place. This is what a business should be! Kudos to both of you. Great asset to street and area. They take pride in their work and establishment.“
“I'm so glad I decided to give Connie a chance recently as I was in need of an affordable but quality barber/stylist in San Francisco. I had been biking out to Judy at Gentle Cuts on Taraval in the Sunset but Judy was hit or miss and I often was on the barber seat's edge, not knowing if I would get the haircut I was looking for or if I'd leave the salon with way too much hair chopped off. Connie is amazing and she will be my go-to haircut spot in SF for now on. I have a very particular men's fade haircut that, for reasons unknown to me, has been very challenging for most hairstylists, from student stylists at upscale salons to small neighborhood barbers. I brought an iPad with photos of the cut I wanted and Connie nailed it, taking her time to make sure she didn't shave or cut too much hair off and always checking in with me to make sure the cut was shaping up to my liking. Connie is able to talk and cut hair at the same time! She's very personable and is doing everything she can to keep her prices affordable. $25 for a quality haircut is worth every penny. Connie has incredible attention to deail and gave me a better haircut than what I've found in fancy salons downtown. The fade was clean, I didn't have to clean anything up (especially around my ears) when I got home - something I've had to do way too much in the past. Thank you Connie! I'll be back again soon.“
“Great haircut and a lovely person to boot. Really enjoyed the experience and the conversation. I will be back“
“fantastic barber, great vibes, nice quiet quaint little place. Nas is always friendly, it's a one man shop and he runs it to perfection. would highly recommend to anyone who lives in the area or nearby.“
“Public barber salon has been a go to of mine for 12 years. The service is always top notch. I get compliments on my hair all the time. The vibe is very fitting for North Beach with lots of books to peruse!! Sage is great! So is Spencer! I usually come in for a cut and color. The prices are really reasonable too!“

The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality you receive. What sets Barberhood SF apart is the passion and dedication of the team.

“Amazing. Took my 80 year old father here for a shave. He was treated so kind and with patience. He loved his shave and he's looks great. My dad's only complaint was about his sideburns, but I'm going to chalk that up to him being 80 and felt it necessary to fuss about something. Caught him looking at himself in the mirror and admiring his smooth face. I'll keep taking him back here whenever he's in need of a little self care. Thx!!“
“This place is good for my son because he's high functioning autistic and it gives him a chance to communicate to the staff. They probably know him already because he has gone there at least twice a month for a shave or a haircut. The quality is good too.“
