I love my new cut and color tinting from owner Michael. This was my first time at Barberology. I'll be back. Thank you for helping me out of my comfort zone and giving me a great haircut. The color--I've never done this before--makes me 25 years younger. Amazing. read more

Joem is a saint. He's an artist. He's my barber. I'm pretty particular about these sorts of things. I love how he listens to what I want. Joem checks in with me. He tries new techniques; he gives me a haircut that fits my personality. I trust him. Highly recommend you set up an appointment with him. Also, nothing like a massage and hot towel at the end. read more

I had my first haircut with Michael McGuinty, the owner and master barber ;) The cut was great, as was he. He listened to what I wanted and took the time to digest what I said then went at it! I LOVE my haircut! He just earned a new client To address the negative review on here, where nobody answers the phone...I don't get it. There is an answering machine with detailed instructions on how to leave messages for each barber. Don't let that deter you... read more

Mike has been cutting and coloring my hair for over a decade and has become a friend. Mike is meticulous, using different size scissors and clippers to make sure my haircut looks perfect from every angle. He does a stellar job and is always pleasant and professional. Mike created a perfect custom-color blend for me that looks absolutely natural and flattering. I'm very proud but not surprised that Mike has turned his talent as a hair stylist into a very successful local business. An added bonus is that he has kept his prices a bit under market so that his clients are getting a really good deal. read more

Kinda place you never wanna give a 5 star review. Got a booking here for a hair cut. Got an good cut. Let me tell you in the past several years (even before COVID) I'd go to a barber...explain my hair cut...get a hair cut...get home and then have to trim or fix something. Seriously! My hair is a bit curly but it's not crazy. Here, they listened, smiled, and did a good job. And were friendly and not pretentious like the hipster barber chains in the city. Woo! read more

Highly recommend Shaibaan! Great skin fade. Now consistently the best haircuts I've had in the city. Glad to be a frequent flyer.

I sat in an uncomfortable chair next to a raving lunatic client for over 2 1/2 hours. No one in the place bothered to shut him up. I left very upset. I couldn't even appreciate my hair cut . also, being the only lady in the small place, I wanted to scream at all the Guys to grow up. my stylist, Hector, did nothing to make me feel comfortable. read more

This is an awesome place for a men's haircut in the Castro of San Francisco. They offer easy online appointment scheduling from your mobile device. I have my hair cut with Andrew Lucido who is the nicest person ever and extremely good at a variety of hair cuts. The vibe there is chill and relaxed and their products and services are top notch. Finally I've found a men's hair stylist I can call again and again. Thank you! read more

While visiting San Francisco and staying at the nearby Parker Guest House, I had the opportunity to walk by Barberology on numerous occasions and I was always impressed by how great their customers looked. I decided to check them out since I really needed a beard trim and based on one off the barbers, Ray Anthony, who I think owns the shop and has a very classy beard, I figured, I'd be in good hands. Ray Anthony is a truly brilliant stylist and not only " cleaned me up" but he also made me look 5 years younger! If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd make Barberology my permanent barbershop! read more

Today was the first day that I've been to have my haircut professionally since before the pandemic. I was going to go to another barbershop in the neighborhood but they were closed. So I went to Barberology. I'm so happy that I did! My stylist was Andrew Lucido and he awesome! I didn't actually have an appointment with him but he was able to squeeze me in. He's incredibly nice and very professional and cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it. I'll definitely be using Andrew from now on in. Thank you, Andrew!! read more

Amazing haircut! I've been going to Hector for years and would never see anyone else. Highly recommend

Love this place ... especially Hector. Would recommend him always on time, appointments are easy to schedule and his styling is legit

I loved my cut with Hector at Barberology! It was very well done and I got a ton of compliments :). I will definitely come back regularly!

I've been going to Shear Bliss until Covid, and found out it had closed. Much to my surprise Barberology sort of took its place, and the location is a convenient 15 minute walk from my place. I booked the Barberology cut with Mike, and will definitely be going back. Mike listened to all my concerns, my routine, what I wanted and what I didn't, and he gave me an even better cut than I had pictured. Thanks, Mike! read more

Hector Ortiz is my favorite hairdresser ever! He taught me how to style my hair when I didn't know how to. He pointed out the right products for my hair and gave me a new hairstyle that I really love and identify with now. He always gave me quality haircuts and I always left happy with how I looked. Now that I've moved away from SF, I'm nervous that I won't find someone as good! Hector is a virtuoso stylist and also has a very kind gentle manner; I highly recommend him! read more

Had a family emergency and unfortunately couldn't make my appointment. I tried to reschedule the next week and apparently I offended someone because they cancel any appointment I try to make. Extremely rude and unwelcoming. Will be telling everyone I know to stay away! read more

This place is a god send. I rode by on my bike and was immediately accepted for a walk in. Shaibaan is an absolute don. If you're looking for somebody to cut your hair exactly how you like it with precision and detail, he's your guy. I walked in with a Covid cut and left looking like a prince. I will be back. Thanks for everything. read more

I was in town visiting for the week and had been growing my hair out for just over a year. While in town I decided it was time to chop it off and get a fresh cleanup! I called and asked for a last minute spot and was able to get one with Gina. She was great, efficient and thorough....and when it was all said and done, she even gave good recommendations on what to do while in town. read more

I made a Sunday appointment at Barberology as my usual snipping haunt was booked full and the barbershop was close-by (adjacent to the neighborhood dry cleaner.) I showed up for my session a few minutes prior to my appointment time and was greeted first by the shop pupper, Maisie(sp?), an adorable white french bulldog and Michael McGinty, the barber and proprietor. He warmly welcomed me and then seated me in the barber chair. Before we got into the specifics on my cut, I hijacked the conversation to compliment him on the shop decor and ambiance. I had seen the space under construction from time to time when dropping off my clothes next door and was ecstatic to have crossed the threshold into the finished setting. It was like a rugged lodge crossed with a modernist sensibility; lots of salvaged wood with sassy fixtures. The space is bright but not hard on the eyes as the dark wood tones complementing reigned it in enough to not be distracting. Michael was pleased with my appreciation of his efforts to transform the space into one aligned with his vision. After our chat, Michael and I consulted on the specifics of the cut I was looking for and my expectations thereof. I told him I wanted to clean my mop up a bit and asked him for his professional opinion as to what avenue he would suggest.He made a few spot on observations I hadn't considered...you know how it is when you stare at your own mug for too long, it's a challenge to be objective! Then we got down to business. Top observation during the cut; Michael is focused and incredibly precise. For the clipper cut I was getting he carefully considered each application of the device, standing back periodically to assess and evaluate the next move. It was pretty awesome and I was confident I was in more than capable hands. At the end of the cut we headed over to the sink for a shampoo and remove any stray thatch that remained on my head. The mini head massage was really added the spice to the cake! We then went back the chair and we discussed my styling preferences to which he asked which direction I normally part my hair. After telling him, he suggested to reorient the part in the other direction as my the whorl of my hair (the spiral with which hair grows out of the scalp) would be better suited for that. No more top of the scalp cowlick for me! He made some product suggestions and then instructed me the best way to apply it for my hair very fine hair type. After he did a bang up job getting my new coif settled and asserting that I was happy with the outcome, he produced the card swiper and we got all the remuneration settled up. The prices was super reasonable ($40 or $45, if I recall correctly) for the services rendered I was very pleased with the results... which I hope the tip I left expressed! I will definitely make a return visit to Barberology; As a matter of fact, it will be my new go-to. 5 stars. read more

I stopped in for a haircut because there was a nice sign that said "Walk-Ins Welcome." I was told that someone would be right with me. A few minutes later I was told that they couldn't give me a hair cut because the barber wasn't available. Long story short, walk ins are not welcome. Probably won't be back. read more

I've been going to Gina Hidalgo for the past few months, and each time she always has a direct and friendly way of talking through what look I'm after. I have a very specific vision of a punk-pixie cut that's difficult to explain- the last couple of barbers just completely missed the mark, but she knew precisely what I was trying to describe and exceeded my expectations. Especially for ladies out there looking for a spunky short cut that's easy maintenance, Gina's your gal. She's always super personable, creative, efficient, and makes sure you get the cut/style you want! read more

Nobody answers the phone here. I've tried several times. The link also doesn't work for booking online. All 3 numbers...I'll never find a barber around home. read more

I have been following Mike McGinty for years as he moved from one salon to another. Now that he has his own business, I'm thrilled! I favor a military style flattop, which can be time-consuming, and Mike does a splendid job each and every time - I highly recommend him. read more
