I absolutely love the community vibe here... I've been getting my hair cut at this place for many years & by now am familiar with all the folx that work there. Sarah Alfaro is my reliable choice for an expert & affordable hair cut & by now she pretty much cuts hair for everyone else in my family, too! Not only because she is skilled at her job, but also for how kind, generous, bubbly, & thoughtful she is... She seems to genuinely care about me & my family - that kind of community love from an establishment is hard to come by these days! Thanks, Barber & Gent! read more

Sara cut my daughters' hair today and she nailed both cuts. She listened to what they wanted and then executed like a pro! She has a personality that welcomes you in and makes you feel at home instantly. Professional and down to earth - the perfect combo. Feel lucky that our referral from a friend turned out to be a perfect fit. read more

Armando did an exceptional job! Trimmed my beard and did a full haircut. He took me in as a last minute walk in. Didn't rush and took his time to get the details right. Customer service on point as well. Will be coming back! read more

Went here several times and had good experiences. But after my most recent visit I was charged twice for one haircut. I called the business multiple times to request a refund, was continually told it would be no problem, but no action was taken. I eventually had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Overall a very negative customer experience, would not go again. read more

ronnie listens to and helps me decide on my look. she is always accommodating, she totally has my trust! the shop also has the greatest vibe! read more

Ivan is not the man! The barber that I booked (who is also the owner, Ivan) did not show up for the appointment. When I arrived on Sunday at 11 a.m., I was told he would come 2 hours later, which is obviously unacceptable and very unprofessional. I wanted to leave, but I really needed a haircut. So I tried it with Rafael and ended up with one of the best haircuts I have had in a long time!! Rafael is the man! I am happy with the haircut result but very disappointed with the "no show" situation from the owner. read more

Had Haircut and Beard trim and Noise and ear waxing. getting in was Easy service and the results were amazing.

It should have been a warning when my hair stylist, who I'd never met before, said, "Boy, do I have a hangover." They gave me the worst haircut I've ever had. I wanted them to cut it how it'd been cut before, just shorter. They changed my part twice and I ended up with short hair that doesn't lay flat on the back and sides and two different clumps of hair on top. They said they'd just started working there. Oh, well. The place seemed nice but I'm worried about trying someone else. Update: The salon owner got in touch with me to apologize for the service and offered to redo the cut! This is the mark of a quality place -- great customer service. read more

Didn't get the deluxe haircut I booked in advance. Gave me a bad basic haircut. Tried to charge me full price for the deluxe. Last couple haircuts I haven't been happy with. I've been going to this place for years but now I won't be coming back. If your a man don't get a cut from bianca she doesn't know hot to cut men's hair. It's rushed and uneven. read more

I asked for a high fade and Rafael delivered. It's 3 weeks now and my hair is growing out nicely. Rafael was fast and detail oriented.

I am extremely satisfied whenever I get my haircut at Blanca's. They nail it 100% of the time. They are attentive and detailed and get my hair done how I want. read more

A friendly team with quality results. Very flexible bookings options with last minute and walk-ins welcome.

Luis was my barber and stylist. I just wanted to go on here to say how amazing and patient he was with my needs. I have super thick hair and a thick beard, I typically try to pay for extra time since I know it can be a lot but Luis was super professional and efficient. He provided suggestions and did exactly what I requested. I got a summer trim on the long beard and I cut off about 6 inches from my head. Thank you Luis! I'll be back soon! read more

I always feel at home at Barber & Gent. I get the best service and attention to detail from my barber or hairstylist.

Got a beard trim and it looked good. Then at the last minute, the barber decided to even things out, and without warning shaved off most of the hair on my cheeks, making it look way too manicured and not at all what I had asked for. Similarly, I got a haircut and they took off three inches when I asked them to take off one inch. The place has a good vibe but the level of communication is hit or miss depending on which barber you see. read more

Rafael is a great person, good customer service all the times I have previously gone as he was the one always in the front desk. Deciding to return after having gone multiple times hoping for a change, the expectation was not met. Previous times barbers did not follow instructions, deciding to go their own route with the haircut. A simple haircut consisting of a taper was not achieved with multiple of their barbers, instead cutting the hair too short and not at all what I had hoped. Even when given images to follow which I would assume would give a good foundation did not achieve even relatively close to the haircut. The environment is nice and Rafael is greatly appreciated, but the haircuts are not near expectations. Even with feedback during the haircut hoping to establish a clearer understanding of the outcome, it did not come with the result I had hoped. read more

Always taking care of the boys - making sure they are happy with their cuts. Thanks for always taking care of us Ivan and team! read more

This place has great service and reasonable prices. I've been getting my hair cut every few months here for the last year with Eddie. He's a really nice guy and always gets my hair looking super sharp! read more

This review is for my son, who got his first barbershop cut today. I was nervous trying a new spot and so was he, but I can't believe the level of care and attention to detail we got here. Rafael gave my son such a clean cut and was so patient and kind. My kid is 5 with wavy hair and he's had some iffy haircuts at the Supercuts type salons. Barber and gent didn't have to go the extra step for a little kid, but they did and we are very happy. Thank you thank you Rafael!!! Important note- my son sits well, so if your young kids are squirmy in the seat, it might not be the place for you. read more

Eddie was excellent. He worked with my son to craft the ideal hairstyle for his textured, unruly hair. It turned out great! This place is the real deal, giving kids cuts adult style! read more

Ivan is the man! Him and his team get it done everytime im back in the city for a cut.

Jay was very nice. Super friendly. But everything else was really disorganized and just ... not good. First off - neither of the barbers were masked at any time while I was there. (The lady behind the desk was, so good for her.) Secondly, for the haircut, I asked for a skin fade (NOT a bald fade) and he used the electric razor halfway up the back of my head, which is WAY too far up and I knew was going to create a super harsh line. The fade is choppy and not great. I asked him to leave the length on the top because I know my sides grow out super fast, so even if that's not good it won't matter for long, but then he says he's going to even out the length. He cut up to an inch off of certain parts, and his shears were so dull he had to keep hacking at it to cut it all. So then I made the mistake of asking for him to put texture back in (because I don't want my hair to look like a helmet) and to use the regular shears instead of the texture shears (because my hair is dense and fine). He ignored me, used the texture sheers, and now it looks like my hair was cut by a wood chipper. I could chalk that all up to just a mistake with a new client, but then the guy after me checked in like 20 min early for a 12:30 appointment - and good for him, because he was called by someone who told him there was a scheduling conflict and he should come back in 4 hours. I was one of only 2 clients in the place. There's no reason the guy couldn't get his hair cut if he waited. But then my barber started rushing with me - didn't style my hair at all - to get him in right in at his time slot. Lastly, which is why I'm going all the way down to one star, they charged me for a $45 deluxe haircut instead of a $35 simple haircut (and I didn't get any straight razor work or hot towel), and when I bought an extra $15 travel tin of Reuzel, it was all yellow, crusty, and dry on the inside. This place is a mess. And Ivan, if you're reading this, I'm sorry I had to post this on a public forum. I honestly tried to see if there was a email or something on your website to message you privately. I'm not looking for a free haircut, and I'm honestly not gonna come back even if you offered. I just want you to look at this review and figure out how to run a better shop. read more

Careful. You wont be charged the advertised price on the webpage. They'll say that the prices are not revised and won't honor the advertised price. Save money and visit a salon that prefers repeat business. read more

Rafael was 100% great, took his time, and was attentive to my requests. My wife liked the result, and that's the highest compliment :))) I am looking forward to my next visit! read more

Great environment and loved the customer service! Blanca did a great job and I'll be back!

Rafa is simply the best. He really cares about making you look your best. Oh and the music at this place is ALWAYS on point.

Krispy fades excellent service. Local person native San Franciscan all good very professional.

Great service and experience. Eddie is great. I would recommend Barber & Gent to all my friends.

Rafael was awesome! One of the best barber experiences I've ever had and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Cut off much more than I asked for, didn't really listen to what I had requested. Don't go there with long hair, think they're mostly only equipped to do short cuts with clippers. Hairdresser was not apologetic about the mistake, generally a negative experience, wouldn't go back. read more

Didn't listen to my request. Poor quality and poor service. Was overcharged, would not recommend to anyone.

Very professional establishment very clean and they make you feel welcome I worked definitely go back again

Sad to say you should listen to the bad reviews on this spot. I made an appointment online with Ivan days in advance - confirmed via automated text messages. I arrive 10am for my appointment and Ivan isn't there. I eventually get a call from Ivan and he says "Ronaldo" will be there soon. I tell him I booked with you specifically and he says he doesn't work there anymore? Update your website! Be good for your scheduled appointments! I waited 15 min for "Ronaldo" to arrive and then left after I read other reviews complaining about this same occurrence. Walked out and made an appointment with Gent's Barber instead. Be better or you will continue to lose business. Regards read more

Eddie was great. You can tell he's very experienced. I'll be back regularly for cuts and guidance on my hair growth journey.

This place is falling off a cliff. The last few times I've made appointments with Ivan, he hasn't been there and instead I've gotten assigned to shockingly bad / inexperienced barbers. The guy last night was watching how-to youtube videos during my haircut and it was clear this was pretty much his first day cutting hair. I called it off halfway through and will need to go find another place and pay to fix it. Not sure why anybody would put up with this, but I'm not going back. Sorry. read more

Great cut. Christian listened to what I was looking for and executed it perfectly. He took his time to make sure to cut progressively so that he could make any adjustments necessary read more

Go to barbershop. Ivan knows what you need. Great location . I like my barber anticipating my needs. Ivan gets it

Eddie is from Detroit, and therefore awesome. It was one of the best cuts I've received (also shoutout to Rafael for always giving me an amazing cut). Great discussions with both read more
