Best Barber Shops In San Francisco

“Austin is amazing. A total professional and takes his craft seriously. Truly represents the high standards that this barbershop sets. The hair cut was awesome, the hospitality is next level with offering drinks, having a clean bathroom and outstanding customer service overall. Best place to get your hair cut in The Bay. Schedule asap as this place is always in high demand.“

“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.“

“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.“

“One of the best salon/barbers in the Bay Area that has kept me coming back for 3+ years

Hair type: Men’s hair, short, thick

Stylist: Franz Jeremy“

“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.“

“I've had a massage with Bank twice now and will definitely be making it a regular happening. He is a very intuitive massage therapist with a holistic approach to massage and body work. His space is clean and has useful amenities (e.g. shower). I also decided to try Bank's waxing services; he is just as conscientious there too. He offered explanation before each action, and made an uncomfortable situation much more candid and relaxed. I cannot recommend this guy enough.“

“Randy was great, plus his experience is immaculate you can see how well he handles his instruments. His comfident, kind, friendly and accommodating. The haircut was exactly what we like! Going back soon, we found a barbershop we like and tell people about it.“

“Super friendly and had a great cut, just show them a picture and they'll help you out. Shop is cute and there's parking on the street prior. Street is one way so park in the blocks before you get there!“

“Absolutely loved my experience at this barbershop! The staff is incredibly skilled and friendly, and they really take the time to understand what you want. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the attention to detail in every cut is top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“The vibe is super amazing the barbers are friendly and take good care of their clients. Please is clean and they have a cute mascot. Their work is amazing as well you can make your appointments online and they are right on time.“

“Requested style: I had a comb over style for years and grew tired of it. Omar gave me exactly what I’d been looking for for a long time! Very happy with my new style

Stylist: Came in for a walk in and sat with Omar! Got a great fresh cut. I had been looking to change my style completely and he gave me something I’ve been looking for for years! Will definitely be returning“

“Gentle Cuts is not a hipster barbershop. There is no industrial exposed brick walls and steel beams, no espresso bar nor cutting edge dance tunes playing on the mixing board. It's a small, aging barbershop staffed by one of the nicest ladies to cut my hair in a long long time. Judy apparently has been dishing out solid and timely haircuts for everyone in the family for decades. I was driving in for the day to catch a theatrical performance downtown and since I'm no longer nearby my former barbershop I was looking for a reasonably priced and highly rated place without reservation fees and an over the top website presence. Called, was told there is no wait and to be sure to bring cash. Thirty dollars ($30) plus tip ($5) and less than thirty minutes later I'm back in business. She was friendly, chatty and a nice balance of efficiency and friendly. By the time I was done there were two more guys waiting to get cuts. This was a Wednesday afternoon before the July 4th holidays. I will definitely be back. Great job Judy and keep doing your thing the old school way ! It's perfect just the way it always was. Keep this level of service and fair pricing and we will keep coming back. Well done. I'm a fan.“

“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 shop is always clean, the barbers are friendly, the cuts are good and the conversation is always entertaining . This barbershop has become a staple in the neighborhood. Pull up & ask for JB or any of the other barbers.“

“Great! Fast and clean cut, love it!

If you're looking for this it's right next to the starbucks, just take the elevator up to the 7th floor and go straight.“

“Best haircut I've ever had. If you're on this page and are thinking about getting your haircut by Gabriel, just do it. Incredibly good value for the service and artistry, plus one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I'm already stressed about finding another barber when I leave SF next year.“

“I cherish Arvin's excellent service and his talent for giving a nice-looking haircut. As someone with hair that sticks out easily, finding Arvin who knows how to handle this hair has been an amazing experience. After I get a haircut from him, I feel great. I highly recommend Arvin for an amazing haircut and service.Service: Haircut“

“Metropolitan is a really good barber shop. I have been going here for two years and am always very happy with my haircut. Dany is a stellar barber. Going to Metropolitan feels like hanging out with friends, and you will walk away with a great haircut. Would highly recommend.“

“I took my son to get a haircut at the shop and was greeted right away by Mr. Martinez. After a discussing the cut, Hector got right to work and brought my sons hair back and ready for school picture day. We were very pleased to say the least, and have been booking with Mr. Martinez ever since. Aside from the great cuts, this is by far the cleanest and most professional Shop I've ever step foot in! Another big one for me, is the consistent punctuality of all the appointments we've made with Mr. Martinez. We are happy to call Hector Our New Barber!“

“Quality hair cut! Cornelius was very friendly, and he clearly gave a lot of attention to detail with the cut. I will be going back.“

“Rodney is great and fast. Always gives a great cleanup and facial trimming. Helped me figure out different cuts as i was growing out my hair“

“Been coming here for a little over a year now and will definitely continue to come back. JR and his crew are solid dudes, this is one of the few spots left in the city where you can get a great haircut for an affordable price. Support your local businesses!“
