Bookings can be made online and the parking is easy since, there is underground parking if the surface lot is full. I have gone here infrequently but everytime I visit, I have a great vibe. They are professional, they offer drinks. Walkins are welcome but scheduling will be better if you book online. I recommend it for a cut, a shave or in between or both.

I had an excellent experience with Clif today. Even though he had never cut my hair before, he…read moresomehow knew exactly what I needed. He asked great, thoughtful questions that were naturally woven into our conversation--enough for him to understand my hair without ever making it feel like an interview. The hospitality and ease he brings to the chair is truly impressive. When he asked how everything looked, I offered a bit of feedback and he was incredibly open and receptive, which says a lot about his professionalism and pride in his craft. 10/10 haircut and experience. I've been coming to Hillside Barber on and off for years, back when Kourtney used to cut my hair. She's talented beyond belief, and with her unavailable today, I took a chance on Clif--and he was fantastic. Hillside is lucky to have them both!

If you are looking for a barbershop that goes above and beyond razoring your hair, this is the…read moreplace to go. I took my husband here for a haircut + facial experience and he really enjoyed his time there. The facility is meticulously clean, I love the posh atmosphere where they have a dedicated corner with leather sofa for you to relax as you wait for your service. They offered assorted beverages such as bottled water, coffee, soda. Guests are welcomed to use their zero gravity full body massage chair. The staff were so nice, they didn't mind at all that my baby and I waited in the lounge area while my husband got his service. Rimon Hanna was my husband's barber and he did a fantastic job giving him a really nice clean cut. My husband also really enjoyed his facial treatment even though it was his first time having one. Parking was relatively easy to find as we parked in the parking lot next to Starbucks.

First time trying this place. I chose Felipe to cut my hair and man was I happy I did! The place is…read morenice and clean. Felipe was great and we talked about the kind of haircut I was looking for. After explaining what I wanted he started cutting away. I wasn't sure what to expect but very happy with the end results. Once he finished we talked about the next time I stop in for my next appointment and what he plans to do to get me to the cut I want. He took his time and had a great personality. I'll definitely be back and I found their IG on my feed.

He's consistent, skilled, and genuinely cares about getting it right every time. If you're looking for a barber who nails the cut and the vibe, Shannon's your guy. Just don't take my spot in the rotation !

Hey Shannon, I am not sure where to start, other than saying that I am extremely disappointed with…read morethe haircut I received from your shop. I specifically told the barber who did my cut that I did not want a military cut since that seems to be the only cut barbers can do with my hair in San Diego. I asked to take some of the length off the top (Half an inch), and to use a number 2 guard on the sides while blending the top with the sides. However, the barber did not follow any of those instructions and proceeded to scalp me giving me a bizarre, lopsided mess. What was cut off was well over two inches from the top and the barber used a 1 guard on the sides. The barber also failed to blend the side where the natural part is, making it appear as though they didn't know how to blend the cut at all. I was a bit concerned when the barber never once had me face the mirror so I could observe what was being done. It was the first time I had ever been to a shop that doesn't allow you to watch what is being done. Hence why I was unable to speak up with regard to the length being cut from the top. I should have known something was up when my cut was finished within less than ten minutes when my previous barber took at least 35-40 minutes to ensure everything was symmetrical to my face and that I didn't end up looking like a complete idiot. I came to your shop looking for an alternative to my high end shop because I just couldn't justify the cost any longer, given the length of my hair. But it seems the old saying may have been right, "You get what you pay for." Fortunately, my hair grows very quickly so I will need to find someone who can properly fix the chop job that was done at your shop. I had hoped I had found a new place to get my hair cut, but I don't know if Butch's is the place for me based on my first visit. Thanks.
