About Time Barber Shop - nice hair cut - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Great service,clean shop with chill spot vibe. Highly recommended barber shop! Thank you ayman the barber for a fantastic haircut...

Daniel is really cool and detailed. Had a haircut today and the gentleman is very attentive and skilled professional. A true classic asthetics and ambiance. Loved his positive attitude and the way he keeps the engaging. Hardworking and definitely worth! read more

Barber executes haircuts flawlessly. Better than going to a fancy expensive stylist. This statement has to be pre-qualified, by saying I'm NOT looking for a fancy cut, just a normal Ross Perot or Don Draper 70's cut. He charges $21 for the haircut, after tip, he's at about $25... If you've only gone to the $14 barber, he'll seem expensive, but if you're stepping down from a $40 stylist, then he serves that "Middle Market" Think of it this way, 12 haircuts a year for $300..... That's a bargain for what he does. I spend more on booze every two months... Things to Like: he knows his stuff. Nice shop setup in weird industrial area. Online appointments, secure time slots, no dicking around. No hard sell push to buy shampoo and stuff. He's not selling his style or sex appeal, he's selling his experience, which is considerable. What I don't like: He's not a great conversationalist, he's a little dry for me. Also during your haircut he is the receptionist, phone call taker and laptop appointment maker, all as he cuts your hair...WTF Another issue that has become irritating is that my 30 minute appointment takes 1 hour. He either has someone on the chair that has gone over, or for some other reason, the timing is off. This has been noted on at least 4-5 previous visits. Location is a little out of the way. No such thing as dropping in, you have to make an appointment. Solo business (most of the time), 1 man operation. The 30 minute time slot means, it's back to back, no room for error or creativity or casual "let's try something different today" Also if the previous guy shows up late, everyone proceeding him will now be delayed, negating the online appointment setup. The guys I see coming in are nerd types or engineers that want something better than your $9.99 haircut by local freshie cosmetology graduate but are not willing to take it to the sexy voluptuous stylist $40 level. By no means is he perfect. I have uploaded a recent haircut which shows a lack of perfectionism you would expect for your $25 purchase. Should the hair surrounding my ears be so haphazard? This is laziness, I can get this quality for $12.99. Having said that I return here because he tends to be better calibrated and on-point more often than not. Is this a 5 star experience? Room for some improvement with the quality of the haircuts IMO. Maybe he needs to wear glasses, who knows? read more

Was heading to a wedding and needed a good cut and a beard trim. Hair was a mess. I read the reviews on here and decided to give Daniel a shot. I'm glad I did, he took care of me and it came out even better than I was expecting. Definitely will be returning when I needed another cut. read more

The Good: Everything. The Bad: The price is higher than I'm used to but it was definitely worth it. The Review: I haven't had a haircut in over 3 years. I decided 3 years ago that I wanted to try to grow my hair out, and I did. I got it past my shoulders. After a lot of money spent on fancy shampoos and conditioners, a lot of clogged bathtubs, and clumps of hair to sweep up I decided it was time for a haircut. I usually go to a Vietnamese barber that could have took care of me in 10 minutes. There's nothing wrong with that, I love my old barbers (and I may still go back to them) but I decided that with the change in hair I should try to start anew with a real barber. About Time. Perfect name for my situation. I enter this establishment and immediately I'm floored at how classy this place is. Leather seats, flat screen televisions, coffee and water while you wait, toys for the kids. I made an appointment through the phone (he also has an online appointment system) and he took me as soon as he finished with his current customer. I can't say enough about Daniel. He has a very nice manner about him, very professional, and very good at his craft. I told him what I wanted done and he gave me some advice. He tried a few different things, always asking me questions throughout the process. It really felt like an adult haircut. That may sound weird, but when I was younger I used to go with my dad to the barbershop and he'd get his hair cut by these old guys. Talking about this and that...I never had that. It was always, sit down, get my hair faded, get out in 10 minutes. This guy takes his time and does it right. Highly recommended. read more

About Time Barber Shop - Classy. - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Daniel is a very hard working barber, he is very thourough with every client that walks in and makes sure that you are happy with your hair cut before you leave. I suggest during your lunch break to do walk ins but he does take appts. It make his service go more efficient rather than walking in. The only bad part about this place, it's just Daniel working here...so that's why I suggest doing an appt. Other than that he'll clean you up, but so far all his clients are guys in the area. I've never seen a woman walk in there for a haircut. read more

About Time Barber Shop - front of the barber shop - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I have curly long hair, well not shoulder-length long and I have a strong opinion of how my hair should look. So I always had issues finding the right hair stylist. You know how hard it is to find good men's haircut shops. After trying other places and getting disspointed, I found this shop through review site and have been going here for last 2 years. Definitely among the best haircuts plus its very easy to start a conversation with him. Would definitely recommend , unless you are looking for a hair styling and coloring. And the price is very reasonable , infact I would say less for the quality of service read more

Great place got this sick do here all the lady's be flocking but my heart belongs to another read more

About Time Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Best haircut I have ever had, great conversation, truly amazing shop. I have been all over the US and I can tell you with absolute sincerity this is the best experience I have ever had. Give this shop your business you won't be disappointed read more

The only place I trust to get my hair and beard cut and styled the way I like it, it has a very professional feel to it and Daniel is an excellent stylist. Highly recommend this place. read more

You'll never find a nicer, more accommodating place to get your hair cut so close to the San Jose airport. I got in late on a Monday night, called in expecting to be told not to come in due to the time being so close to closing, and the guy there told me he would still take me. He offered great conversation, great coffee from the roaster next door, and I walked away with a great haircut. Fast, professional, does excellent work, and an interesting guy to talk to. read more

I used to go to another men's salon before I started going to About Time. And it was about time!!! The other salon was ok and slightly cheaper, but the value was definitely not as good. At the other place the results were very inconsistent and depending on which stylist you got, your hair looked different every time. Plus: I always had to ask for little corrections at the end of the cut to make everything 100% right. Not so with Daniel. He is a perfectionist and very thorough from A to Z. A very nice gentleman with some good stories in his portfolio. I also went to Alicia once who is a stylist, contrary to Daniel. Alicia did a great job as well, better than the stylists at the previous place I went to. But I was looking for a barber, so I stayed with Daniel. I am a regular now and will continue to go here. In terms of the appointment system vs. walk-ins: I really don't know where the big problem is. It seems to be a 50/50 preference when it comes to what's better and what not. If you choose the one way you make the first 50% unhappy and if you choose the other way it's the other 50%. But I find it completely unnecessary to make a business look bad by giving one star just because you don't like the way the business works without trying the service. It's like going to a burger joint and thinking that the wait in line is too long and because you're hungry you decide to leave and then give the place a one star review and saying "it suxx", although you've never tried their burger. So random, meaningless and it's actually an abuse of power you received as a yelper/reviewer. read more

And this is what happened earlier today when I finally decided to go to a salon and get my bangs cut like Tony Gonzaga! And this girl totally ruined my beautiful hair! No matter what happens do not go to "About Time" at Dela Cruz BLVd, Santa Clara; Name Alicia. She really did a hideous job of my bangs for $10! I will never go back ever again!. This is like a nightmare! But I'm sure it'll grow back right!? Now I'm stuck with pinning my bangs to the side until it grows back Boo hoo! Epic fail! After 2yrs of no haircut this happened.... #fuckinpissedoffashell I even told her on the phone 2days before my appointment that I wanted a trim my hair and a bangs. And when I got there she said only bangs and no trim Because she had another client in 30min. Btw. I've been getting my haircut with her too since 2008? almost every yr or so. Last appointment I had with her with my bf was avery disappointing, we had to cancel it last minute and re schedule it for next time and when we got our haircut my boyfriend had a huge abrasion in the back of his neck, hair wasn't cut well, and we had to pay the canceled appointment. She charged us double for one appointment! What a big mistake coming back to this place! She was a good hairstylist back when she was working in downtown San Jose. Idk what happened all of a sudden she seemed like she doesn't like what she does anymore. FYI it's really hard to understand her. Communication barrier is critical when getting your hair done especially. So, today I went to Hair expo at Jacklin Milpitas and got my hair done by Jenny oh she did an amazing job trimming my split ends and layering my hair for $18. read more

About Time Barber Shop - It's not even close at all! - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Good reviews aside, this barber cut my neck with his razor while shaving my neck. It left a scab/scar. I went in for a haircut, and I didn't need a shaved neck. Clippers would have been fine for that. But he used a razor, and didn't even tell me that he cut me. I found out from my wife. I will NOT be returning to this barber. Based on my experience, I highly recommend that you find another barber - one who doesn't cut the neck while getting rid of some hair. read more

I don't write reviews for places, but I felt compelled for About Time. The haircuts are by far the best I have ever had, even better than those fancy women salon's were haircuts are north of $40 for a dude. Daniel is personable and takes his time. Just go here, support a local business that actually provides a service worth the money, something painfully absent in most of San Jose. As far as I am concerned the only great thing about SJ are its taquerias and About Time. read more

Just got back from one of the best haircut experiences in my life. Daniel's a really chill guy with a good personality and gives a great haircut. He maintains an extremely clean shop and offers you free coffee (and biscotti) when you come in for your appointment. Thoroughly impressed. Daniel will definitely be my new barber for awhile. read more

Daniel is very experienced, has a great attention to detail, and takes the time to make sure you get the cut you want. I will definitely be back. read more

Best barbershop in the bay hands down! Daniel is a pleasure to work with and he definitely cuts your hair the way you want it! When I first started coming hair there was no wait at all. You just walk in, get your cut, chat for awhile and go on your merry way. But that was so 3 years ago. Now the secrets out and waits can easily hit 1-2 hours. Daniel has told me that he really has no choice but to go appointment only in 2011. He's just that popular now! Make no mistake, Daniel is a barber and not a beautician! If I could grow a beard, I would grow one just to see how his straight blade shaves are like! There are definitely a lot of things to appreciate about his setup too inside the shop. Very contemporary European look to it. He also brews coffee and has a PC available for you to browse the Internet with too while waiting. And best part about the environment? None of the weird smells you might associate with beauty and barber shops! Definite first class all the way! read more

I've been using Daniel to cut my hair for the better part of a year and have to say he's the most consistent and careful barber I've ever had and I'll never stray again. He takes his time, and calculates every cut. This goes a long way with me- he takes pride in his work and goes out of his way to make sure I'm happy. There is usually a line, but there is a webcam pointed at the waiting area to gauge how long it will take. Daniel is also very friendly over the phone and will help fit you in when he can. I can't say enough good things. A real barber! read more

Both Daniel and Alicia are excellent at cutting hair. They both pay a lot of attention to detail and put the time into making sure you get a good cut. I'll keep coming back here as long as I'm in the area, and have recommended it to friends as well. Definitely make an appointment ahead of time, as they are busy. read more

I'm definitely satisfied with my experience here. I've always been a SuperCuts person, but I finally had enough of how I could never get in and out of there in less than an hour, even when I called ahead (some family of 5 would always somehow show up before I actually got there) Not so with Daniel, who takes appointments. I know most people reading this review are used to this, but to me, accustomed to years of SuperCuts and neighborhood barber shops, this concept of calling someone up to actually schedule a haircut and being able to show up at that time and be served immediately is like discovering plutonium. It's almost as if I've been unfrozen after years in cryogenic storage and am re-integrating my way into polite society. Daniel also cuts your hair in a caring and professional manner. I'm not used to that either. read more

Best haircut in the bay. Daniel is a professional barber, which is a rarity. He has high quality equipment, is pleasant to talk to and is great about the schedule. read more

The name says it all "About the time". A genuine hair cut service barber shop, where one gets haircut exactly what he asks for. Daniel, the stylist is a goodlistener, understands your needs and does just the perfect job. I tried a lot of different barbers shops and salons in the south bay area until this one. I am completely satisfied with my last three hair cut done at this shop. I would definitely recommend this barber shop to whoever wants a classic or business friendly haircut. read more

I followed the advice of other reviewers and made an appointment and had no difficulties at all. Alicia did a good job cutting my hair & I'm now a regular. As a side-bonus, they serve complimentary coffee from the coffee roasting company next door. It's really good. read more

The name says it all...About Time! It's about time that there is a barber in the area that understands the meaning of STYLE. Daniel has the charisma, the jokes, the service that every person deserves! Free wireless internet access and (did I mention the free jokes) for all who arrive to this home away from home. Every time I walk in I see something new, whether it be a 24 hour submarine clock, or a unique guitar hanging on the wall, it is a thrill every time! Make an appointment online today - https://instant-scheduling.com/sch.php?kn=741741 It's ABOUT TIME somebody thought about the details that every other barber shop has overlooked. read more

Four stars because I got a good hair cut and the experience was nice (clean place, lady was nice, etc). HOWEVER.... this is definitely not a barber shop, it's a salon. Even if it says so in the name, or it has the barber shop pole outside. The pictures in Yelp should have told me that but I went anyway. Barber shops don't have so much products in it. Barber shop don't offer you coffee when you come in. Barber don't use funky electric trimmer things for your neck. I love the straight razor and was sorely disappointed when it wasn't used. As I said, I got a good hair cut and would go again if I really need to and can't go to my regular (real) barber shop. read more

Daniel is an excellent barber. He used to compete in women's hair styling across the country, but his business seems to focus on men's haircuts. I've been going to him for several years now. Daniel's always very friendly with an eastern European humorous demeanor. I like that he pays very close attention to the haircut he's giving, and I've always gotten quality cuts. His prices have been steadily going up so after tip, I'm usually paying $28 now, but I will pay extra for peace of mind and quality. It's best to book on abouttimebarber.com, an excellent no frills site that send you email and text reminders the day of your appointment. read more

The best barber in the South Bay.... Hands down. Every person that I have referred over is now a customer. While the price may be a bit more then the SuperCuts you may be used to... you would be hard pressed to get a better cut. Plus you can get a straight razor shave which is a dying art! Daniel truly is the best barber you are going to find in the south bay. read more

Daniel is great at what he does takes the time to make sure your happy with the outcome of your cut. Highly recommend! read more

I tried the barber shop based on the Yelp reviews. Daniel really knows his job. I would highly recommend him. read more

Love this guy. Best haircuts I've ever gotten and as everyone else has commented, they're not the cheapest ($29), they look good that day and even better after you wait a few weeks. I never know what I want and let him make the decisions and it's never failed me yet. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a quality cut. read more

Daniel is like the Gestapo - he will keep asking you questions about how you want your hair and will not start cutting until he gets all his answers. He cared more about my hair than i did about it that is for sure. The downside to all this is that sometimes you have to wait in line to get your hair cut, but he has a webcam that shows the sitting room so you can see if there is a line before you come. Myself personally i would maybe rather go to a place that is faster, even if they pay less attention to me, but since i got good results with Daniel every time i could not justify to myself going anywhere else. I never wrote a review for this place because i was afraid the waiting lines would get longer, but i am writing it now because i moved to New York so i can finally give Daniel the credit he deserves. One more thing - every customer i have ever seen in Daniel's shop was a man - no women and no children, also the only Barber here is Daniel himself so you don't have to worry about inconsistent results from being cut by different people. But once again like i said the downside is that it can take more time. Great place overall. read more

Get an appointment. Walk ins not really what they do here. I wasn't able to get a haircut because I didn't have one so take the rating with that in mind. read more

The barber shop's online appointment system is messed up. When I came for my scheduled cut at 9 am, there was a guy who was standing right next to the closed door -- another customer who had an appointment 30 minutes earlier. We waited for a barber for another 15 minutes but unfortunately he never showed up. Be sure to schedule an appointment via phone if you want to make a haircut here. read more

I'm no stranger to expensive salons: W's, 5 Color Cowboy, Shampoo Dolls...etc. So, you can say my expectations are high... and they were not let down. Daniel knows what he's doing. It's that simple. You go in, tell him what you want (even better- bring a picture of what style you're going for) and he does it. With precision. He has a great mix of barber'ish skills and salon-grade technique. At one point his hands/scissors were moving so quick it reminded me of Edward Scissor Hands when he was cutting that chicks hair in the backyard and she magically was transformed into a new woman. For 25ish bucks (depending on how generous you are); you cant beat About Time Barber. I will DEF be returning! read more

Daniel is the guy running this shop, and I guess he's good enough to be very popular -- he's fully booked up and won't take walk-ins. However, he has a partner, Alicia. She is not good with English, but if you bring her a photo, she will copy the style very well. I mean, it's surprising how close she can make a hair style match. I came to her a year ago and she gave me an amazingly good cut. I let it grow all year until it was shaggy. Today I got a new haircut, but I made a mistake. I went to the SuperCuts on the corner of San Thomas and El Camino Real. The SuperCuts haircut was NOT super. Full of dismay, I drove to see Alicia and showed her the photo that I had given to the SuperCuts people -- a photo of actor Paul Walker with his hair in a short Caesar cut with the front a little messy. She looked at my new haircut -- a mid-length business cut with my hair parted on the side, not looking at all like Walker's haircut -- and said, "I can fix it, do you want it fixed now?" I was like, YES! Please! Now I'm sitting here with a much shorter, much more stylish cut. I am so relieved that she could fix it. If you're reading this Alicia, thank you! I will stop going elsewhere and just trust you to do it from now on. read more

Daniel is by far one of the best barbers I have had ever had he is passionate about his job and always has my hair looking good. If you are looking for a new barber I promise that Daniel will take good care of you and your hair needs. Just take note that he is by appointment only so be sure to get your appointment on his website. His barber shop is really cool he always offers coffee or tea and his TV is usually playing some sporting event. His haircuts are not cheap but its worth every penny nothing sucks more than leaving a classic nail/hair salon his your hair lookin like it was cut in the dark! read more

If you a looking for an excellent Men's haircut from a barber, look no further. Daniel is who you want. When you enter, you are greeted with a friendly hello, offered a freshly brewed cup of Barefoot Coffee and a biscotti (Barefoot shares the unit next to About Time). The place is cozy, the chairs comfortable, and the company friendly. For $29 you get a nicely trimmed head of hair that takes ~ 1hr. Booking is handled online at http://www.abouttimebarber.com/ and they are often open until 9pm during the week. Just walk in, get a trim, and you are out. Not sure what else to say, a great haircut at a great price. Note: If you are a barber / hairdresser looking for a station to rent. Daniel is currently looking to fill a few seats. read more

Just stopping in to say that after a few years, I still can't recommend Daniel enough. He keeps great records and his using the online appointment system is uber-convenient. read more
