Monica. Nice lady, good haircut, immaculate vibes. Turned me from a 4 to a 7 in under 15. She likes egg nog :)

This place is my new go to! Nice shop, nice barbers. If you are looking for a clean fade, Ricky is the man.

I had Mimi I think! She was amazing! Conversation flowed, she was funny, sweet, and made the time fly. And on top of it all, I got the exact haircut I wanted. Even after combining two photos of two separate haircuts for different parts! 10/10 read more

Consistently Amazing Haircuts at Aptos Haircut Co. I've been going to Monica at Aptos Haircut Co. for years, and I can honestly say she never disappoints! From my very first appointment, she took the time to understand my style and preferences, and it shows every time I leave her chair. This latest visit was no exception. I wanted a fresh look to my gentleman's cut because my hair texture is changing, and Monica really nailed it by cropping it shorter on top. She always knows exactly how to enhance my look while keeping the vibe true to my style. If you're looking for a great haircut, I highly recommend Monica. You won't be disappointed! read more

Had a great short haircut by Mimi. She knows what she's doing. Very good experience!

Karen is such a wonderful person and talented hair cut/stylist professional. She takes the time to understand my hair and what I would like to see. She checks in along the way to make sure I like what she has chosen, and there hasn't been a time where she was wrong. When I say she has attention to detail, I mean the finest of details. She is not your average haircut that uses clipper guards for 60%+ of the haircut. The ambiance is also great. It's a somewhat small studio but that gets you some private time and 1:1 to get a proper haircut and not feel lost in the crowd. read more

Monica has always given my boys and I great cuts! She is consistently awesome and cleans us up good with great fades and a positive experience. This review is for Bobby, who had a very rude tone towards my 6 year old. "I said head up," as he would move my son's head with a quick and firm movement. This happened repeatedly, enough to make my son cry. It doesn't matter how good the cut is when the experience is this crappy. Bobby, you need to cut the bad attitude and not be such a buzzkill. I highly recommend Monica, but do yourself a solid and skip Bobby, who's fading on the whole bedside manner program. read more

Just had my first visit to Aptos Haircut Co. Bobby fit me in today and honestly gave me the best haircut I've ever gotten. Friendly guy, knows his stuff. I'll absolutely be back again with my son. Very Pleased!! read more

Came into get a haircut 10 minutes before they closed and Monica gave me the worst haircut of my life. Super uneven, left hairs by my ears and was cutting so fast she made me look like an idiot. Waiting 2 weeks and getting it all cut off. Truly one of the worst cuts I've ever had been wearing a hat ever since. :( read more

Aptos Haircut - Check out the unevenness just awful she lost a customer for sure - Barbers Near Me - Aptos, California

I took my 22-year old son with special needs in to Aptos Haircut recently. He normally has a very high level of anxiety in such settings. However, Monica was very warm and made him feel at ease. She also was very open to listening to a few tips that would make things go better. My son looked horrible, with hair that would fall down to his lips and cover his eyes. Now he looks like the handsome young man he is. It is without doubt the best haircut he has received in his lifetime. read more

Good haircut. I would give him 5 stars except the guy talked politics the whole time.

This is the place to go in Aptos for Men's haircuts. I have been going there for years and there has never been a hitch. All of the ladies there have cut my hair at one time or another and they all do a great job. Friendly, no drama, and five minutes from home. What's not to like? read more

Monica was wonderful. I've been reluctant to venture out and find a new barber since moving here last year, and stumbling into her chair proved rewarding redeeming and invaluable. She gave me sounds advice on how to reach hair goals, and none of it was self serving. Genuine professional craftspeople, with affordability in tow. Go see them! read more

I have been coming here for the past year, even though there I live very close to another salon/barber. Both Gina and Monica have done a great job, they are friendly, and the prices are fair. read more

Gina is the main barber now and she did a great job with my hair. I was there about 4 months ago and she remembered my name and the blade I wanted. Unique, historic building. Pictures of children on the walls. The place has character and is filled with care. I will visit this place whenever I'm in Santa Cruz visiting family. read more

Was visiting from out of town and needed a quick hair cut for myself and my son before a wedding. The gals were great. Fit us in last minute and did a great job read more

I've been going to Gina for years. She's great and she does a great job. I highly recommend her.

I really like Monica, and mt hair cuts have been excellent at a fair price. What else is there to say?

I've been going here for years because it's the best haircut in town. No pressure in the product sales, just a really good haircut at reasonable prices with really friendly staff. read more

OK, I'm lazy and this place is the closest to my house. That said, Gina really does do a better job on my hair than any barber ever has. Nice little place. Seems pretty cheap to me. Less than $20 for men - less for seniors. They've got books for little kids which definitely helped when I brought my young kid in there. You don't have to make an appointment - but I strongly recommend you do. read more

Gina is fast, precise, and very good. She asked me what I wanted and went out of her way to get it just right. I was so pleased that I took my boys to her and the loved her too. If she can make my 9 year old happy, she's bound to please just about anyone. Gina is also an easy conversationalist with adults and children alike. I look forward to my appointments. read more

Two chair shop run by sisters who give great haircuts. Costs about 20 bucks unless you're a senior then its less. Mary is my barber and gives a consistent and stylish haircut every time. I'm a bit bias because when my 85 year old friend who lived in a rest home needed a haircut, she stopped by his room and did it for free! These ladies are wonderful! read more

Been going to Monica for my last couple of haircuts and she is great! She is very knowledgeable and has been helping me try different styles. Very helpful and skilled. read more

Just had my first cut at Aptos Haircut and Nicole did a great job! Very fun to talk to also. I work across the street so it's extremely convenient - will definitely recommend Nicole to others! read more

Gina's haircuts are the best; even better she is a lovely person, her shop feels welcoming and comfortable. I have to drive a good distance to Aptos, absolutely worth it. read more

I got my haircut today from Nicole at Aptos haircut company and she did such a great job! She did exactly what I asked her to do and I couldn't be happier.

Best place around for a great haircut with no weirdness. Gina has been cutting my boys' hair for years, and they love her. Highly recommend.

This is by far my favorite place to get a cut, Monica always remembers my style and perfects it every time. She has done my hair for awhile now & there's no other person I trust to cut it the way she does. It's no easy haircut slicked back with a fade all around and others have messed up badly where she does amazing every time, Highly recommend her. read more

Very happy to find a place close to home where they do a great job in a friendly, small shop environment.

Gina is an angel! She worked day after Thanksgiving, was ready for me precisely when she said she would be, gave a brilliant cut, charged me fairly and was both friendly and gentle. Unfortunately I'm from LA otherwise I'd be back every two weeks for superior service like hers! read more

I've driven past this place about a thousand times and finally had my first haircut there today. Gina, the owner and stylist who did my hair, was super friendly and accommodating when I called to see about a last minute appointment. She did a great job on my hair and made sure that I was happy with it. She was also a great conversationalist, which means a lot to me since I usually get my hair done as infrequently as possible to avoid the potential of dealing with a socially awkward hair stylist. I will definitely go back to this place, and highly recommend it to other people. read more

My longtime barber retired and a friend suggested Gina. After my first visit to Gina my wife commented that my haircut was the best looking I had ever had. (I look at it once in the morning when I comb it, she looks at it all day.) I now have a standing appointment as her first appointment on Tuesday every four weeks. Not only is the haircut and the price right, the conversation is good. One Tuesday Gina did not arrive for our appointment so I left after waiting 10 minutes. She called me later that morning to say her truck wouldn't start and we rescheduled my appointment for later in that day and then she would not take my payment nor my tip. One classy lady! read more
