“Three years & on going client - Austin, owner & my go to barber at The Parlor is the best. Located in a Capitola shopping center with convenient, easy free parking. They have great prices for experienced, thorough barbers and most of all cuts with a lot of care. May not seem like a lot, but going to a barber for some guys is just another trim on the top or just another buzz but for more of us men's hair is really important, Austin & his team gets it. Austin has been through a lot of my different hair eras, but he always knows what works best for me. It's always refreshing to be with a barber who gives honest feedback when you ask for guidance on either small adjustments to changing up your cut completely & is not afraid to say "I think we should go for this instead, it would work great for you", if you ask for input. I always leave the chair feeling refreshed and more handsome than when I came in. If you come to Santa Cruz or live locally, highly recommend this place for a solid cut, it's a comfortable space with awesome barbers. You can book appointments easily on their website, they're pretty popular so make sure you book ahead of time. It's worth it.“
“Always attentive and professional team here. Veronica does super!!
Stylist: Veronica did a great job as usual. Works well with me on executing a specific cut /length that i request.“
“I had an amazing experience here, not only was Glenn super nice and friendly he supported that energy with a lovely environment and great music. I had a failed DIY experience and he managed to not only save my hair but make it look beyond great not only that but my parking meter had a 30 minute limit so this guy runs across the street mid haircut to fill it up now that’s some service right there SUPER GREAT HAIRCUT FOR A GREAT PRICE“
“I went in without an appointment and the wait was not long. I really appreciated how well he cut my hair and how he did not take a long time to cut it, he is very talented.“
“Consistently Amazing Haircuts at Aptos Haircut Co. I've been going to Monica at Aptos Haircut Co. for years, and I can honestly say she never disappoints! From my very first appointment, she took the time to understand my style and preferences, and it shows every time I leave her chair. This latest visit was no exception. I wanted a fresh look to my gentleman's cut because my hair texture is changing, and Monica really nailed it by cropping it shorter on top. She always knows exactly how to enhance my look while keeping the vibe true to my style. If you're looking for a great haircut, I highly recommend Monica. You won't be disappointed!“
“They are very good, and really nice folk. Appointments can be made online for your convenience.“
“Spectacular five star haircut! One person/sole proprietor business. Local biz. Amy gives good advice and consults before haircut. Super sharp hairstyle. medium hair - but she still put layers....amazing! Lots of experience. Then lots of tips on hair maintenance. What more would you want?! ?“
“I could no longer get my 18 month old to sit for home haircuts and needed help from a pro. My little guy can be super active so I was concerned about how he would do sitting for the cut. The owner clearly knew what she was doing from start to finish. She had all of the tricks ready to go including videos, toys, spare play combs, etc. He was afraid of the clippers, but Paula was quickly able to change plans and did a complete scissor cut. She was so patient, kind and attentive to our lil' man. I think we found our son's forever barber.“
“The haircut was great! She was so kind and hospitable, and really took her time to understand what I wanted.“
“First time visit and Charles did a great job in just 15 minutes. Cut was well even and shaped very well. Will be back as Felton CA has no barber shops these days. Interesting small shopping center with a history. Camp Evers as It was called in the 1950's was the place the Pearless bus stopped from Oakland then on to Santa Cruz. The inside has rich wood like going back to that time era. So much better then going to a cheap franchise fast cut place with no place to park with un skilled foreign barbers that don't speak much English. Charles has style and It shows in his hair work.“
“Always Great cut and fast at reasonable prices, Tein is a Great guy running a solo show for a long time in Pleasure Point.“
“Went here to get a fade/lineup before a wedding. Michael Aguirre was my barber and did a flawless job. He was very welcoming and easygoing. If you're looking for a chill vibe with skilled barbers I highly recommend coming to waves and fades. They even have beer on tap that comes with your cut!“
“Ramona and the gang are one of the gems of the county. They're authentic barbers who love the lore and history of the profession. I take my 13 year old son when we have an opening in our busy schedule and it never feels like a chore. It's an experience that we plan on repeating year after year.“
“Better Haircut Experience Than Most Places Around This Area Hot Towel Shave Offered Here Miles Definitely Got Game, Skills, He Is nice With The Straight Blade Visit Here Price Is right Service Tight!!!“
“Walked in on a Friday afternoon for a buzz cut. Anthony was just finishing up a haircut when I arrived and when his client was finished he squeezed me in before his next client showed up. I only waited 2 or 3 minutes. Anthony did a great job on my hair and was super cool to talk to. The barber shop is super stylish as well and clean. I will definitely be back.“
“I like their walk in service, and they open for 7 days. It's convenient! My son and husband go there for their haircuts, and they usually get nice service.“
“I mean, I know the price of things increases over time, but i was taken aback when I realized a fade was 35 dollars. But the cost aside, I've been going there since Natural Bridges was an elementary school and Mission Hill was still the Matadors! Lol Still a great shop and since I moved back, not gonna change up on my barber“
“I recently checked out Kultured Barbershop, and it was an awesome experience! The vibe is laid-back and stylish, with a great mix of modern decor and vintage touches that make it feel really unique.
The barbers here are not only skilled but also super friendly. My barber, Jessie, took the time to chat about what I wanted and gave me some solid recommendations. The haircut was top-notch, and I loved the attention to detail, definitely one of the best cuts I've had in a while. I appreciated the laid-back atmosphere that made the whole experience enjoyable. Plus, the music was on point!
If you're looking for a cool spot to get your hair done, I highly recommend Kultured Barbershop. I’ll be coming back for sure!“
