Haircut

3 years running with years ahead.... Reza loves Joanne & Allen and their incredible dogs (now Reza's favorite part of the haircut) Best service, best cuts, best value. . . We are so thankful we found Joanne - she's absolutely wonderful in every way and is the Mary Poppins of haircuts...just ask Reza! :)

What an amazing Barber Shop! The best haircut my son has ever had (William, you're a rockstar!). As fantastic William was, the dogs were the best part. The sweetest dogs I've ever seen. Attaching a picture of Pepe, who sweetly made his way closer to me as I sat waiting for my son's haircut to be done. His super calm demeanor warmed my heart. Thank you Amplify Barber Shop Walnut Creek for such an incredible experience. We will be your loyal customers now.

Thank you, Barber Alan!

One adjective that describes barber Alan - AMAZING. I have had to cut my 2yo toddler boy's hair during this pandemic, and let me be honest, it's been very difficult. First of all, I'm a mom of two and I am no expert at hair cutting (other than learning from YouTube videos). During his naps, I would secretly cut his hair (since there's no way he will stay still or let me touch his hair. When I cut his hair during his nap, there would be everywhere and so difficult to clean even with a towel beneath his head, I can't really turn his head and see exactly where I'm cutting and in the end, haircut looked like crap. I'm so thankful my husband found this place because barber Alan is the best - very kid-friendly and personable. First, Alan lured my son into the barbershop with lollipops that he would award him after the haircut (my son was super hesitant and did not want to go inside; I was about to give up and just go back home - thank goodness I didn't!). My son sat on my husband's lap on the chair. He didn't put anything around his neck to prevent hair getting on him, so.. yes, hair and water went everywhere, but I was totally fine with that - we took all his clothes off and immediately gave him a bath as soon as we got home. Plus, I didn't want my son freaking out if he did put something around his neck. Alan brought out special toy cars that my son absolutely loved because he recognized how much my son loves vehicles. That was so sweet, thoughtful, and observant of him! He listened to what we requested - not too short; just trim and cut sides and back because his hair was getting way too long. We didn't want it too short or a "Mohawk" like we see on little toddlers; we just wanted a simple cut and keep his hair long on top - something more "natural." Then, Alan went straight into action - quickly starting trimming and cutting, keeping my son entertained the entire time. No snags or bloody cuts like I've seen other barbers do to babies. He worked efficiently and quick - I've never seen a barber work so carefully, accurately, and FAST. I'm definitely coming back here to see Alan with my kids!!!! Thanks for his very first lollipop too - that certainly brightened his day!

I was struggling to find a barber shop that cut kids hair...specifically an infant. I made an appointment with Alan since I saw pics of kids on yelp (figured I'd take a chance with a 7mo old). This is not only a small business, but a FAMILY business and it literally took the entire family (Alan, his wife, and the dogs!) to keep my son calm and relaxed to get his hair cut and his fade done right! If I would have gone somewhere else I'm sure they would have given up since my son cried at the son of the cutters. But Alan was flexible...he had books, made noises and even did a scene change (aka we ended up cutting my son's hair on the bench outside as he was distracted with people watching). I cannot say how much my husband and I appreciated the patience for our son's first professional haircut...and to top it off with all the drama we got an amazing hair cut with a faux hawk!

Totally random.

Found my new barbershop, and I'll be making the trip in from downtown SF to support a great barbershop, and get a great haircut!! Husband and wife team rock this shop and provide great work at very reasonable prices!! Thanks Allen! Cheers!! &!

Owner/Barber Alan is Walnut Creek's RockStar Barber! Great cuts, Chopin' it up - see ya every 6 weeks!

Got a great haircut here! I was trying to grow out my hair but it was looking awkward. I went in, told Joanne what I was looking for - keep it long on top and clean up the sides - and I got exactly what I wanted. I'll be back!

this was not a friendly place at all so not waste your money here. You're better off just taking a pair of buzzers and rocking a bald cut

My son hadn't cut his hair in 7 months and I wanted to take him somewhere that was really good. I…read moredecided on this place and we made an appointment with Max. We brought a paper with several photos of how my son wanted his hair for Max to use as a guide. I made sure to use photos of people with his same hair length and texture as my sons so the results would be attainable. The haircut came out much shorter than the pictures we brought. It Looked much different. I personally loved how it came out better than how my son wanted it. I was nervous as we left thinking my son hated it. My son was a bit disappointed because he wanted the hair longer in the back. It took him a few days but he ended up being very happy with his haircut and said it was the best style he's ever had! It was much less maintenance than how it would have been if it were like the style in our photo we brought. My sons self esteem improved each day he had time to adjust to the haircut. A week after his haircut....i saw him checking himself out in mirrors every time he passed one. he was very happy with Max's work. It was a pricey cut but the shop was very nice and clean and Max was very professional and welcoming. Worth every penny. Although it wasn't what we asked for it was definitely better when it came to ease of styling and matched my sons head shape and hair pattern. Max knew better than we did! i tipped him 50% of the cost of the cut and would highly recommend him to all.

I usually don't write reviews, had yelp since waaay back, I am sure lots of my friends are Elites…read moreby now... HOWEVER, I do want to give a big shout to Jaydakris and his barbershop! BARBER Honestly, it does take awhile to find your "go-to" barber, had to trial and error a few places once I moved to Concord (used to reside around Union City to San Jose Area and Vallejo). Jaydakris has a fine eye to detail, and always makes sure that you leave looking nice and fresh! Additionally, he would also give his opinions and suggestions for your cuts just in case you want to change it up, if you decide to go with it, he will not disappoint! CUSTOMER SERVICE There are some barbershops I have been to where you sit down, and no one else greets or asks if you have an appointment. When I come here, I did get acknowledged that I was here for a hair cut, so I do give points for that! BARBERSHOP Location is in the corner of a plaza within Concord, can't miss it, lots of parking. The store it self is well kept, has hanging art work and posters. The color scheme is Red and Black. If you're looking for a cut, try Breds barbershop out, Jaydakris is amazing! If you can't get in with him, I am sure all his other barbers are great. 5 stars overall!

The service was excellent, Andre did a good job. He was courteous and consulted what kind of cut as…read morewas looking for. He demonstrated he was genuinely interested in doing a good job. The ambient was relaxed, comfortable and amiable.
