Had an appointment with Sarah a couple weeks ago, such a great experience. Such a cool person. Listened to my convoluted and probably contradictory vision and she somehow did everything I wanted in like 30 minutes. It has grown out phenomenally in the last two weeks and I just had to say thank you!!
This shop is str8 up best in the hemisphere - Sean, Shane, Brad, Nick, Steve, Keeley, David, Natasha, Erik, Methan, and the entire team are utterly stellar. Feeling tight-and-right for father's day 2025 (#). Thank you Temescal Alley Barber, - EMB, Summer 2025
I thought I had previously written a review of Temescal Alley, but I guess I haven't. I've been going to the shop off-and-on since Fall of 2014. I've always had a positive experience. I moved out of the area a year and a half ago, but I've been coming down every couple of months and seeing Nick for my cut. Nick is an outstanding barber and a really cool guy. I often end up being his first client and he offered me a vodka shot today -- why not, it's a Sunday. I was kind of at a crossroads about what to do with my hair and Nick gave me sage advice and the perfect cut. A good haircut can really brighten your day and make you feel good about yourself. I plan on continuing to make the long journey to see Nick!
