Best Barber Shops In San Jose

“My teen son went for a haircut for the first time here and came out happy! He's had bad experiences in the past at other places and was nervous of the results because they never end up giving him the look he actually wants. His barber was Efren he did a great job! Listened to what he wanted and gave details of what he was doing and kept a good convo going as well, overall good vibes! Definitely recommend and will be going here with Efren from now on!“

“Booked an appointment with Jackie for a headshave. Didn't disappoint . I've had several razor shaves in different shops.Jackie gave me the best straight razor shave to date, smooth lite touch, and didn't rush through it like most shops. Great atmosphere in the Barbershop . Welcomed in and offered anything I would like to drink from the fridge. Highly recommendable!“

“It’s been about three weeks since I last got my haircut from Jolan at Mysterioux, and I couldn’t be more impressed. His attention to detail is amazing, and he’s very meticulous about his work.

I walked in with about 6 inches of hair, the longest it’s ever been, and I had little to no direction with what I wanted. I told him I was familiar with fades, but he suggested going with a taper instead, which I’m incredibly happy that I went with. The past three weeks are the best my hairs ever been, and I owe it to Jolan’s knowledge about hair care.

I can rest assured knowing that I have a reliable barber in SJ now.

“Arturo is the best. My son is 12 and has been growing into his own style. The first time he went to Arturo he came out grinning ear to ear. Arturo gave him the exact cut he wanted. We obviously came back and again he got exactly what he wanted. Arturo is friendly, professional, and artistic. He's up to date with what the current styles are and is able to deliver. He was also friendly and held a conversation with my son the whole time too. Asking him questions about his hobbies, school, and then also how styling his hair is going and what's working, what's not. I'd highly recommend Arturo for your next cut. . Faded is also comparable in price to Supercuts etc, but the cut is a much better cut, that's suited for you. It's not a one size fits all. It's designed for you. The shop itself is clean and hip. They offer beverages and the seats are comfy. It's got a modern yet masculine feel. Check out their stylists and book ahead on their site. Kudos to a local business givindiscounts to teachers and first responders.“

“Damn, I look good . Thanks Clifton. You, Chop and everyone else have a great vibe going on. Always a fun, welcoming experience at your place.“

“Always get amazing haircuts by Mickey. He always knows what I want and puts something's extra in his service that leaves me feeling fly af! Super dope spot“

“Very attentive. Great conversationalist. Willing to work with what you want and offer helpful suggestions“

“Can't say enough about Meg the barber! She's been cutting my hair for about 10 years now and I followed her from Supercuts to her new home here on Lincoln Avenue. So fun to talk to as well while you get the best haircut you will ever have. She's great at consulting and has great vision. You'll never go back to your old barber after Meg!“

“Clean and friendly barbershop. Great haircut for my daughter and very accommodating for our schedule. Price was just right for the quality of service rendered.“

“I did a walk in for my son who has autism. I was nervous to go in because a lot of barbers don’t like to do kids haircuts let alone a child with special needs. I’m so happy I just took the chance because I was able to meet Vega he was extremely nice and patient with my son he is very friendly as well. Throughout the whole time he was following my son’s lead, taking his time, letting my son have little breaks. It truly meant a lot to me to find someone who would make my sons experience a great one and Vega did exactly that. Also a side note everyone in the shop seemed nice and they didn’t seem to be bothered my son when he would get a little loud from certain spots in the haircut that are sensitive for him. Overall this shop is great and I’m glad I found my son a new barber!
Thank you Vega!“

“Maria and the guys are the classic barber shop vibe. Such positive and genuine people. This is the spot for you, I promise you'll be happy with your cut. Cleanest fade in town, too. I'll never go anywhere else, period.“

“The best haircut I’ve had in years, no question. I experienced Stacey’s 25+ years in the industry firsthand and was not left disappointed.3rd generation family-owned barber shop with the best prices in town. Very thankful to have found this place and hope you do too!“

“A great place to get a haircut. Tom and Rick are old school barbers that remind me of the barbers of my youth. Always a quality cut and beard trim and they're both good guys to talk to. And they always ask if I want my eyebrows trimmed--something an old guy appreciates.“

“Suzy has been my main barber for about six years now. I've never had a bad cut, and I find myself going from Palo Alto down to downtown San Jose just so I can keep the fresh cut and signature look of mine. Suzy is incredibly friendly and the tight-knit community of downtown San Jose all go to her. If I could give her 10 stars I would! The atmosphere is family friendly and I believe she does haircuts for all ages.“

“Great haircuts and great conversation! Raquel is awesome. Highly recommend! Check this place out if you're looking for cheaper men's haircuts“

“Flew in to San Jose for a weekend of fancy events and came straight here for a beard trim, since I knew I’d be in photos and wanted the pros to handle my appearance for me. Luckily, this place is fairly close to the airport. Alain welcomed me warmly and put a whiskey in my hand right away, then got to work. Even touched up my hair just to be nice. I couldn’t imagine a better way to start my trip! If only I lived in San Jose, I’d be here all the time. Thanks, Alain!“

“Excellent barber.

Requested style: Asked for short and simple and got short and simple!“

“Case is my primary barber here at Street Set University and I can honestly say he is phenomenal! He's one of the few barbers who is not only skilled but also very knowledgeable. When you're inexperienced or don't know exactly how to put things into words, Case can definitely walk it through with you which helps tremendously. Jasper is also the person who handles the phone calls and appointments at Street Set University. A very charismatic guy and always friendly in the way he approaches people. I highly recommend you give this place a chance!“

“Hair cutting is Art, barber here are artists. Me and my son both visit here from past 2 years“

“Teresa is very kind, engaging, and is extremely experienced at cutting hair. I came in with my boyfriend to get him a hair cut and she did a thorough and amazing job for a very reasonable price. Will definitely come back!“

“I’m a proponent of supporting local businesses and had my share of good and so-so experiences.I was in the vicinity of Vanidades and decided to check out the place and maybe set up an appointment. Surprisingly, I was taken in right there and then. Thanks to Elizabeth, whose warm smiles make me feel welcome. The hair business maybe competitive but Vanidades gave me a feeling of belonging which I didn’t experience from past barber shops. It makes this place stand out among others I’ve been to because of that. I felt I was among friends spending a lazy afternoon.Martin did an excellent job cutting my hair. He may have found it challenging but he’s a pro’. Very friendly, polite and courteous. I’m looking forward to seeing you guys again. Thank you!“

“I moved to the Bay about a year ago from Los Angeles, and it was very difficult finding a good barber. I came in for a regular men's haircut, and I'm so glad I found Josie. She is an excellent barber, one of the best I've seen! She immediately knew how to cut my hair after describing it to her once, something many other barbers around the area failed to do. She's also super friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out if in need of a haircut. Keep in mind it's cash only though.“

“I came in for a basic haircut and got exactly what I was looking for with Paul. Very reasonable price. Overall vibe of the place and other barbers was great. Finally found a solid barber shop after trying a few other spots. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Great barbers, especially Derrick the owner, always a fresh cut coming from him. Music, sports talk, and general banter is common between all here. Definitely recommend coming here.“

“Perfect cut friendly service and on time made my day thank you.

Requested style: I needed a trim plus texturing and it was perfect.“
