Avenues Barber Lounge - Haircut by Orio - Barbers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came in and was told to come back in 45 minutes. I returned after about 50 minutes, only to be told they had taken someone else and I needed to wait another 45 minutes. I didn't receive any service, but this was still a frustrating experience and a waste of time. read more

After hours the shop was busy and Joey and his crew still took my boy in for a last minute cut before he heads out to a school camping trip. Thank you guys! read more

Needed a cut last minute. They found a way to squeeze me in. They did an amazing job. My girlfriend loved loved the cut. She only let's me get my hair cut here now. read more

One of my son's friends has a side gig barbering (great entrepreneurship!) and offered him a $35 mid-fade fresh cut. He looks sharp! Nice barbershop, four chairs so walk-ins no problem, central Sunset location on the N-Taraval line. Note: Please consider supporting all the great businesses on Taraval. They went through years of construction and are just getting back on their feet. read more

The girl who cut in my son's hair it's not really professional I'm so disappointed and I'm thinking she's just practicing to do hair cut . Poor service and I'm not gonna comeback in this place Avenue barbershop . read more

I called ahead to let them know I was coming. Waited for 30 minutes once I got there. Guy finally sat me in the stool, then went in the back for another five minutes. While he was back there, another person showed up. When he got back in the front and saw them, he told me to get up out of the chair because he had to take care of them first. Coming here was a waste of time, and I'm disappointed. This is like the highest rated barbershop in the area, and I didn't expect to be treated this way. read more

Went for the first time yesterday, first haircut since November. Vanessa was awesome. Knew what I wanted before I finished telling her. My new spot. I'll definitely be back in a few weeks to get it again. read more

I've been getting haircuts at Avenues for the last few months by Andy who's a very skilled barber and super knowledgeable about hair style, shaping, maintenance etc. Aside from getting great cuts from Andy, the shops vibes are super chill, very open and welcoming from the first time I walked in. All the other barbers are super friendly. Last perk is there is always meter parking available right outside the shop. read more

I've been going to Joey for a while now, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better barber. Joey isn't just great with fades and lineups--he genuinely cares about his clients. He's the kind of barber who makes sure you leave the chair looking sharp and feeling confident. What stands out most to me is Joey's respect for the military community. As someone connected to veterans, I can say he always goes above and beyond to support service members. He listens, takes his time to make sure everything is done right, and has built a welcoming atmosphere where people from all walks of life feel at home. A lot of barbers rush you in and out, but Joey makes sure the cut is clean, precise, and tailored to you. That kind of attention to detail is rare. He's also got great energy--down-to-earth, approachable, and always professional. If you want someone who values his craft, supports the military, and makes sure you walk out looking your best, Joey is your guy. Highly recommend booking with him. read more

Just got a mid bald fade with a combover from Andy and I'm impressed. He does quality work and cares about what you want done or have any issues with your hair. The inside of the barber shop was an upscale barber shop. I would definitely come back he knows what he's doing and been in the barber game for a min. Shout out to Andy you're the best bro! read more

My friend and I (we're both 13) went to Joey at the Irving Night Market for a haircut. He told us upfront it would cost $25. However, once he started, he kept stopping to check his phone and chat with people, which dragged out the process unnecessarily. During the haircut, he insulted my friend by calling him a "dumbass" just for asking for the style he wanted. Then, out of nowhere, Joey doubled the price to $50, saying the cut was "too much work," and even demanded payment before finishing. On top of that, one of his coworkers was openly drinking alcohol from a paper bag while cutting hair. The whole experience was unprofessional, disrespectful, and uncomfortable. I would not recommend coming here. read more

HELL yeah bro i got a fresh ass cut. I got home and immediately sent selfies to everyone I know. They all UNANIMOUSLY AGREED that I look fresh as fuck. I'm going back for sure read more

Amazing haircut today here with Dee! Just walked in and got lucky to meet Dee and got a great new haircut and experience. Chill vibe but with very professional service. Will definitely be back... read more

Don't get me wrong, i got a really great haircut by Joey. This man is very talented when it comes to cutting hair. I don't really wanna make this review but i think i need to so they can change how this place treat their customer. Firstly, i called them to make an appointment, Joey answered and he booked me for 2pm. I was there 2 minutes early. Then when i walked in, 3 barbers were working saying they didn't know who took the call. Then at 2pm Joey showed up and he told everyone it was him, then he said I'll be right back. 20 mins later, we started. I was getting ready to walk out. I noticed he was drunk. He was shouting talking loud to the other barbers, Music was so loud. He leaves me for a minute doing other things and repeats it the whole process. I was really annoyed. I was gonna walk out but i really just want it to finish. The entire thing took an hour. I literally got a headache after. He kinda apologized, he said cuz it's Friday. But this is unacceptable. You are at work. You need to be professional. Period. It sucks i will never go back here cuz of my experience. They are really great barbers tho . read more

While my "appointment time" went by the wayside, I was paired with an excellent barber. This is a friendly place with barbers who have each other's back and help each other. Yes, parking is a bit of a problem, but it's worth it! Very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Frankly, I'm impressed. I came in with really looong hair that definitely needed to be cut and a beard that was all out of whack. He took his time and used his imagination. The final result, according to my wife, "Awesome, just awesome!!" read more

So nice to have a quality barber shop in the outer sunset. Always get excellent cuts, great vibes and art in the walls, comfortable waiting area with completely drinks. read more

Went in for a haircut with Joey. Best experience I could ask for with a barber. Right when you walk in you can tell it's all good vibes, with music playing and different conversations going on. Joey was always making sure I was comfortable, asking me if I wanted anything to drink. You can always have a great conversation with him too whether it be sports, food, music etc. 10/10 haircut as well he gave me exactly what I asked for. He makes sure everything is good, and the lengths are all good once he's done as well. Hands down the best barbershop in the bay! read more

Moving into a new neighborhood, I needed to look for a new go-to barber. I checked out the place after gambling that whoever would cut my hair could potentially make my hair awful. I was lucky because Andy gave me precise haircuts, and even fixed up my old one. I'm no hairdresser, but I can tell that he used techniques to make your hair as good looking and clean as possible. Customer service is excellent too. Andy is flexible with time and communicates if there are any potential scheduling problems/solutions. The shop is well maintained, and the crew seems to be laid-back without losing professionalism. It's a good time! read more

I've got my hair cut here several times. When I walk in there feeling like a 6/10 borderline amber alert, I walk out feeling like a 10/10 male model ready for my photoshoot. They will get you right, trust. read more

Excellent customer service. Great for all ages and all types of hair. Chill music to vibe to as you get your haircut. My barber is Dee. Highly recommend him. read more

I highly recommend this place for haircuts. I got my hair cut by Vanessa and she was great. I showed her a picture of the kind of cut I wanted, a bald taper fade with a hard part, and she nailed it. On top of the outstanding cut, she was very friendly and made the haircut experience great. I highly recommend folks stop by next time they need a great cut. read more

Avoid cutting with Andy unless you want your appointment canceled. Barbara are never on-time to their appointments, customers are constantly waiting. Do not recommend. read more

First off, them Boys Joey & Andy are already family! First moment I walked in, I felt welcomed like we all knew each other for years. I have only been out here in SF for a year and wasn't going anywhere to get a cut aside from my close homie in SoCal every month. If I didn't find my boy Joey before he opened his shop a few months ago, I'd be traveling more than I need to down South. I'd 100% recommend checking out my boys new shop! Side note: This man Joey is the business! He cut my hair in 22 min when I needed to jet out for a last minute work meeting and it still came out CRISPY ‍ cheers my boy! read more

Worst haircut of my entire life. Don't think the guy who cut my hair has ever cut hair before. Don't go here ever

I highly recommend this barbershop for absolutely anyone! The staff was very friendly. Andy gave me a haircut better than what I expected because I've been struggling to find a barber that has experience dealing with different types of hair. Andy and Joey have a lot of experience and just have that demeanor that you're looking for in a barber. I didn't feel awkward or bothered like I do with other places. I'll see you guys for my next haircut because I think I found a place I can trust to do the job properly. read more

Second time writing this review because @Yelp took it down I have been going to Joe since 2018, and have had only great experiences. I can trust any of the barbers to give me an excellent cut. "Barber" may be too simplistic for what this crew does. They are so much more. Stuck in your ways? Tell ANY of them how you usually like your hair cut; then ask "what adjustments would you recommend?" They will size you up and turn what you thought you liked into something you love. When you end up coming back, let them know how many compliments you've gotten on your hair ever since. The compliments WILL happen. What's more, Joe and Andy are a warm, welcoming, loving presence; and a thoughtful human beings. They attracts great talent like Thaddeus & Thomas. If you are new in town or looking for a new "hair home", look no further. There's no place like "avenues barber lounge" read more

I was recommended earlier this year by a close friend and this has quickly become my favorite barbershop. During my first cut Joey walked me through the different ways he could cut and style my hair, and the results turned out great. Now I look forward to the conversations as much as the cut itself. The shop has a fun vibe to it, so if you're looking for good music, good convo, and a great cut, go check them out. P.s., they do take walk-ins but I always book through their website as it's the most convenient. read more

my friend got a cut from Joey at the Irving Night Market here for the first time and before he sat down, they verbally told us the price was 25 dollars. Mind you we are 13 years old. While getting the cut, he is constantly stopping to be on his phone or talk to others. Mid cut, he calls my friend a "dumbass" for wanting the cut he requested, and then changes the price to 50 mid cut because of the "dumb cut" we requested and told us to give the money before he finished otherwise he wouldn't continue. He said that cuts usually only take 15-30 minutes but he's charging us double for this because it took a lot of time and effort to do. Mind you he was constantly stopping to be on his phone and talk to others, and we showed him the cut n explicitly said this was what we wanted. His colleague was also drinking alcohol out of a brown paper bag while cutting. Joey is super unprofessional and disrespectful to his clients, would never even think of coming again. read more

I've been going to Joey for almost 7 years, & he's never steered me wrong. Incredibly talented barbers all across the shop, with a great family reunion type of vibe. Lots of laughs, lots of slaps, & lots of love. Exactly what you're looking for in a barber shop. read more

I'm so happy to have Avenues in the neighborhood! Before, I went to a different barber every time I needed a haircut. In May, I stumbled across Vanessa at Avenues. The cut is great, the vibe is chill, and it's close by! The music is awesome too -- not too loud, not too quiet, and a fantastic mix. I'm so happy to finally have a go-to barber! I just booked my next appointment for later today. read more

Made an appointment, took time off work to make it to my appointment, came for my haircut and the other person working told me that the person I made an appointment with went to go get a burrito. I waited 20 minutes then left. Can't make this stuff up. read more

Love this place. I met Andy who I really liked. First, local dude who grew up in SF with part of his childhood within a mile of this location, so truly local. Cool dude. I didn't talk to the others much, but I liked the vibe. I only came in to groom my brows. I'm at an age where all of sudden they grew like crazy. I look like a sifu out of a Kungfu movie. I've never groomed them before, so I was a little nervous (worried I'd look a little weird or worse, they'd accidentally get shaved off). He was really cool and even cleaned up my ear hairs (again, at that age). I'd definitely come back here. But, I shave my own head every two weeks, so it would be a little pricey for something I can do myself. But, really liked the peeps and vibe. Wish them much luck and success. Overall, 5 star rating but it's based on my limited experience (brows). read more

Andy is the best barber in SF, hands down. He is very personable and gives a fantastic cut. He is knowledgeable about what will work with your current style, face shape, and have you leave feeling like your best self. read more

I started getting cuts from Andy over 4 years ago when I wanted to change up my hairstyle, and I've seen him every month since then. It's been incredible to witness and support his journey, and I'm so proud of him for opening up his own shop with his business partner and friend, a longtime dream of theirs. I love the laid back and warm atmosphere, hilarious banter between barbers, and interesting and diverse people that come through. If you want to look crisp and meet some awesome people, this is the spot. read more

Got a haircut and beard done by Andy. Framed my head and face very nicely. Thank you Andy!

I rarely leave reviews but I really wanted to with this barbershop. They're welcoming to familiar faces and new faces. The ambience is really relaxed and family oriented. Shout out to Andy who has been cutting my hair for years. I always get compliments at my work on my hair thanks to him. He's such a professional and a real artist at his craft. Please don't hesitate to book an appointment with him. His haircuts are game changers. Wishing him and Joey all the best. Instagram handle : Aphamsf read more

I've been getting fresh cuts from Andy for years. His attention to detail is second to none. With a chilled environment and kicking music, if you need a good cut book with Andy Pham. read more

So, before my review gotta reveal for the first time in years I've had a few people compliment me on my hair cut. Now that hasn't happened in a very long time. My hair is a curly bushy mess and is complex to cut. Went in last week, first visit at the recommendation of a friend. Arrived early, and while my barber had yet to arrive, his colleague invited me in, offered beverages and a seat. Salon is clean, bright and pretty darn welcoming. It's very modern, clean, great barber chairs, loads of room between chairs and the place has a great "no-attitude" but fun vibe. Joey was (and will be) my barber. Essentially, this guy is an artisan barber. He's a pro with a clippers. He listened carefully and then gave me a great cut. Took his time, was very engaging but seriously focused on styling/cutting, etc. I'm not a huge reviewer on Yelp, but this place deserves a shout out. It's rare to have a first knockout cut, so I really appreciate having this new Barbers in the hood. read more

As others have noted, the barbers are talented but not very dependable. The last two appointments both barbers didn't show up for my appointment. In the first instance, the barber texted and moved the time later in the day and was a no show. The last time my appointment was moved to the next day by the barber, but he was a no show. Luckily, I was given a cut by an available barber. In both instances I was given no reason for their absence or an apology. Very unprofessional business. I wish them the best and hope they realize this behavior will sabotage their business. read more
