About Men’s Haircuts by Lilian
Men Haircuts by Lilian is a barbershop located off Woodside Rd and Central Avenue in Redwood City, California. It is situated in a strip mall, between Dunkin' Donuts and three small restaurants. As the name clearly indicates, this establishment is dedicated to providing haircuts for men, and it operates by appointment only. The shop is very busy, so making appointments in advance is necessary. However, the business utilizes an app that allows clients to schedule their appointments, which are then added to their Google calendar and accompanied by reminders. This efficient system ensures a smooth and organized experience. The owner, Lilian, is Vietnamese but speaks fluent English. She is described as a very personable and efficient professional, with over 20 years of experience. Lilian has been operating her own shop at this location for the past 20 years, building a strong and dedicated customer base, primarily consisting of men. The atmosphere at Men Haircuts by Lilian is straightforward and no-frills. There is no fancy salon-style decor, product displays, or additional services like shaving or eyebrow trimming. Instead, the shop features simple wooden waiting chairs and a single client chair, accommodating one customer at a time. This no-nonsense approach caters to the needs of Lilian's clientele, who seek a reliable and pleasant haircut experience without any unnecessary distractions. Despite the lack of fancy amenities, the haircuts provided by Lilian are not inexpensive. However, her dedicated clients and popularity confirm that the quality of her work and the personalized service she offers are worth the price. Lilian's clients appreciate her ability to deliver the haircuts they desire, with pleasant conversation and efficient results. For those living in the mid-peninsula area who are looking for a consistent, high-quality haircut experience with the same professional every time, Men Haircuts by Lilian is worth considering. The shop is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
I’ve been getting my hair cut with Lilian for the last 3 years, and she always gives me a great haircut. She’s fast (I’m usually done in about 20 minutes) but it never feels rushed or like we’re on the clock. I also really enjoy our conversations, which makes the appointment feel easy and relaxed. Her space is clean and inviting, and she always has great music playing, sometimes instrumental covers of pop songs. Highly recommend Lilian if you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and efficient haircut.
I've been looking for a new haircut spot since I moved to the area. I think I found my new place. I really like Lilian because she can do fades and traditional haircuts as well. I find that sometimes men's barber shops that specialize in fades don't do as well with cutting the top / using scissors. Lilian is equally skilled at both. Highly recommended. Super fast and fairly priced.
I had to find a new place for a hair cut in 2020 (first year of covid), and as luck would have it Lilian was seeing new clients. I've never been great at conveying what I'm looking for in a hair cut but Lilian figured it out and from that first cut through many more in the six years since I've been very happy with the results. The experience is enjoyable every visit, with her comfortable and relaxed shop, pleasant conversation, and of course the quick hair cut at a fair price. Highly recommended!
