Best Barber Shops In San Francisco

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Jeff did a great job with my haircut and beard trim. Had been looking for a good barber in the neighborhood and glad I found him! The space is very calm and inviting, airy with a lot of plants. I was greeted by his pup who was friendly and chill. Great location that’s easy to get to with public transit.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I grew my hair out long during COVID and enjoyed having longer hair to style. However, it was time to return to a shorter, lower maintenance, cut. When I had my hair short pre-pandemic, I would always cut my own hair due to having haircuts in the past that were less than great (way too short, too high of a fade, etc). Was looking for a barber in SF with experience with Asian hair to do a 2 block haircut and found Thomas from 20th Salon and Barber. Looked through his haircut portfolio and really liked his scissor and clipper work. Booked a signature haircut with him and was in and out in about 30 minutes. I explained what I wanted, provided Thomas with a few reference photos and he very quickly had a good idea of what to do. He was very responsive to my ideas and added his suggestions/input before and throughout the cut. Explained things very simply and was very easy to understand. Also very laid back and easy to talk to. Loving the new cut and will definitely go back for another cut in the future!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great haircut and a lovely person to boot. Really enjoyed the experience and the conversation. I will be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“A+ haircut & service...highly recommend this business , ask for Hector, he is the owner and a barber in the shop and he is very welcoming to customers and does a fantastic job on your hair & face by offering premium detoxifying facial masks, including hot towel & facial massage, with lather steam & full razor shaves. You will leave this shop feeling rejuvenated!“

“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“
