Can't recommend them highly enough. Especially if you're staying at the Fairmont and need to get a haircut nearby (less than 10 minute walk), or in Nob Hill, Lower Nob Hill, Union Square area. Affordable and yet better than a lot of other barbers/salons in SF. My wife & I were having a staycation at the Fairmont and I needed an emergency haircut. I was able to walk-in and be seen without a wait on a Saturday afternoon. Ask for Aghiles (hope I'm spelling that correctly). read more

I asked if I could come in yesterday for a fade haircut. A couple other highly recommended shops on Yelp didn't have any appointments available. Berber barbershop was able to get me in. Another bonus was that I was staying at a hotel one street away. The barber was friendly and took meticulous care to make sure I got a great fade haircut. One of the best stylish fades I've ever had. The barber was also very friendly and the shop's ambiance was like the bar in Cheers where everyone knows your name. I also enjoyed watching The African Cup of Nations on television. First time watching African football on television not withstanding the World Cup. I guess it makes sense since Berbers are from North Africa. Would definitely recommend this shop when you are in SF read more

Best barbershop in SF. I have been visiting Berber Barbershop for over 7 years and the attention to detail is unlike anywhere else. Their bald fades are flawless. Red is the most talented barber in town, and makes sure you look great. Strongly recommended! read more

Second time coming here and will definitely be a regular! I had a last minute walk in to get a fresh fade on the sides. I do suggest making an appointment as I had to wait but definitely worth it. All the barbers here look like they do a great job specially with tapers, fades, two blocks... etc etc. Heads up; my barber Guilas is the one you should hit up! Another thing to note is he accepts Zelle & Cash, no Venmo! They do have one of those smaller ATMs just incase read more

Sam does my husbands hair and it's it's a cool shop with tvs, beverages, magazines, products and books. Definitely wife or girlfriend friendly for those that are being dragged along Sam was able to give my husband exactly what I wanted and cleaned it him nicely. There's a convenient online booking, but beware parking in this area sucks. Sam teaches my husband how to recreate the style and you can purchase the products they use in house too. read more

Berber Barbershop - Sam you're the best! - Barbers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Forgot to get a hair cut before my vacation and it was a Tuesday at 7pm. Luckily these guys were open! They stay open late which was a savior. I got a great cut, very clean fade, and they even trimmed around my beard. This is a true barber with great service, and all for a REALLY good price! All the other spots in Hayes Valley/Castro/Mission Bay charge $65-85 for a 20 minute cut. At Berber, they take their time and take pride in their work.. 45 minutes and it was about $45 plus tip. Would definitely come back! read more

Red is THE BEST! I have gone to so many different barbershop, Berber barbershop is the one that I would recommend. Very easy to schedule appointments with and very accommodating. His technique is amazing especially the fade! WOW! I have been going to him for several years, I would have been getting haircut by him weekly if I was living next door. Highly recommended! read more

Totally Recommended! Amazing service, right prices and a great vibe. Any barber you get will give you a great haircut but my personal favorite is Red! They do walk-ins but you can book an appointment with Red via Booksy. Seriously, go get your haircut read more

It's a decent barber. It's has a chill atmosphere with some sort of tennis game always on. Music playing in background. They do good cuts but don't do walk ins. I came here 3/4 times now doing a walk in and giving it a chance. Every time there has been something wrong with the cut and I always need to talk to the other barber to somehow get it translated back to my guy to have it still come out weird. Do an appointment and get one of the other guys. The guy with shortish curly hair is solid. read more

Got a mid-razor fade and a light trim on the top from Red the barber, always great conversations when coming here! The full team of barbers very friendly, always playing sports on the TV and light music! Thank you Red! read more

New to SF.... These guys were very nice! My barber took his time and made sure everything looked and felt great. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I found Berber on Yelp, and what a great place to find a good place open on a Saturday night. They are professional barbers with the best style; their service atmosphere is amazing, my new place to get my hair cut read more

This is the barber shop I been going to since i moved to the city. normally, they get me right. i've had some of my best cuts ever at this shop and i plan on continuing to go here. but I will NEVER get a cut from adam (pronounced ad-ahm) again. Honestly this is partially my fault because I knew the cut was gona be trash before it even started. He asked me, after seeing the example pictures I showed him of the cut i wanted, "trimmer for the sides scissors for the top?" If your barber is asking you how to cut your hair, RUN AWAY at full speed. I knew that going in but i wanted to give the new guy a chance. BIG MISTAKE. This was like the only time i didn't come into the shop with my hair freshly conditioned. So it needed a bit of detangling. Instead of applying some product, and working through the very minimal tangles (i conditioned the night before) he damn near rips out my scalp over the course of the 35 minute cut. This was by far the most PAINFUL haircut of my life. I almost shed a tear but I'm a real one so i sucked it back in. Never had this problem with any barber ever and i used. he didn't even grab the base of the hair and work through em he was just damn near ripping my scalp up the entire time. So how was the cut? pain is one thing, honestly if the cut was fire I wouldn't be complaining. I'm not the complaining type. this is the first review I've ever written about anything because that adam dude had the balls to ask me to give him a good review after. well here's my review of the cut, yknow what? why don't i just let my girlfriends reaction when i got home do the talking. She literally said "what did they do to you!?" then she deadas started roasting me for my cut. I'm so serious, i was tryna say like it's not that bad really tho right? No response... long pause.. "yea it's not like horrible" bro... this gotta be the worst haircut experience i ever had. needless to say, normally I get my hair cut by one of the other guys in the shop, and I always have great experiences , especially for the price. but this was horrible. my head still hurts and it's been like 3 hours. read more

I had a walk in the other day and got a trim on my Afro and a light line up, and I have no qualms with the haircut at all I feel the barber did a good job but he was speaking on the phone for a majority of my haircut and I'm not sure if it's the blade he was using or just the lack of attention to my neck but it's been burning and feeling so irritated the past couple of days and I was just told by my brother I had a big cut on my neck and I realize that the barber was not paying enough attention to my head and was careless. I don't usually get my hair cut and again I was a walk in so I believe I wasn't treated with the decency of his other clients because of this and again he was more focused on his convo over the phone! read more

Appropriately priced haircuts for the city, but I went to get my undercut redone and despite giving instructions to the barber, he cut way to short way to high. And when I got home, I noticed an entire chunk of hair missing. So disappointing read more

Red and his team are the best in San Francisco. I have been a client of Red's for a long time and he always delivers an incredible result each and every time. It's really easy and convenient to schedule an appointment and I'd highly recommend Red. Great barber and really nice guy. read more

I highly recommend this Barber. Red is a master with haircuts and shaves. I have been hospitalized for over 7 months and he has come to my room and quickly fixed me up. If you can find a good barber you should stick with them. Red is someone whose barber skills and quality are very appreciated and I can't recommend him enough. And Red is amazing to talk with. I was fascinated to learn he is Algerian. We talked about food and traditional dishes he misses from home. He misses a couscous meal that sounds like Chicken and rice from Puerto Rico/Cuba, but couscous instead of rice. I'm gonna look into this idea. read more

Berber Barbershop - Red made a house call for me at CPMC. Excellent cut and close shave. I am feeling fresh! - Barbers Near Me - San Francisco, California

First time going here and booked an appointment with Red. All I can say is when you walk in and see every chair full...thats a great start. I'll definitely be back. His attention to detail as well as efficiency was better than most any other haircut I've had. Quality of an hour long cut in less time. Was able to go in for a quick cut on my lunch and back in time before anyone noticed I was gone. DEFINITELY worth the money, and it was reasonably priced for the area! Come check these guys out! read more

First time checking out this barber shop and by far the worst experience I've had getting a beard trim and line up. Sides were not symmetrical and this guy didn't even wash his hands before he started. So many inconsistency's and by the end of it I just wanted to leave. I don't think it's a shop problem I think it's the guy who took care of me problem. This guy simply just did my beard so dirty that it wasn't even worth asking him to do adjustments. read more

When I was at this place I felt like I was the main character, they made me feel special, very nice atmosphere, friendly and entertaining people. Cutting hair for them is a passion and you can feel it at this place. You won't regret going there and the price is good too for how much effort they put. Definitely going back! read more

This is a great down to earth spot. Everyone is nice and they're not too busy and not too pretentious. Just right! I've been going to see Meti and he's been keeping me looking good and clean. Great work overall and he can make some suggestions to make you look your best. Scheduling via text works great. Mostly a younger crowd here, so you can get some fresh style as opposed to your old man's look read more

Finally I found a barber that knows how to use scissors! Got a great haircut, just wish I made an appointment so I could also get a beard trim. Very nice and clean shop and friendly staff. I will be back when it's time to freshen up the cut! read more

So like everyone, I waited until the last minute for a haircut and called up many different barbershops only to find myself about to be out of luck for an important event. I luckily found this one on trusty old Yelp and called them up. Although with only 45 mins to go till close, and already attending to one person, the guys in the shop told me to come in. I sprinted my way up the Tenderloin and into Lower Nob Hill and found myself outside the shop quickly. The guys were incredibly patient with me, even though they had closed when I was on the chair. Taking someone that late was honestly a blessing and the haircut was superb. The fade was clean, the shave was great and the price was reasonable. I would go again! read more

We had called about a day prior to book for an appointment on Sunday morning which was confirmed only to show up and see that it was closed and honestly it seemed kind of sketch. I don't know if it was a mix up in terms of dates but yeah I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Yes I recommend this business to anyone who likes to get good haircuts, I highly recommend redone he is the best barber in the city , and trust me I'm really picky with my haircuts , and he got me right. Thank you redone for make my looks fenomenal. read more

I flew to pheonix from af yesterday and was in dire need of a haircut and beard trim , I found this guy and the only reason I slide through is cuz of a comment I found saying these guys could cut black hair. I made a reservation with "Red" through booksy. Red is a nice young man , he has been cutting hair for 18 years, he is a man who respects his father and a man who truly has a passion for the art of barbering . Red gave me a $5 discount for combining the haircut and the beard trim. For the service provide , the price is more than fair . You are literally going to walk out of that chair with a million dollar cut. I'll post some pics as well as the Google comment that brought me in ha ! I recommend Red, if you're a grown man, who makes you're own money and looking good is important to you, if looking good makes you feel good , Red is your guy... that I can promise you all. read more

I would recommend this shop over and over again! I needed a haircut badly and I was 2 weeks into SF they were the only ones that stayed open after I got off work and the cut was FANTASTIC! My guy Meti went to town understanding the little description I gave home and just went to town! Well worth the price! I going back and tellin everyone but they were so busy and I understand why! read more

Red's gentle precision is unparalleled. Cutting hair is in this mans blood and it shows in every detail of his cuts and shaves. He's also a great guy who is easy to talk to and takes time to know his clients. Makes scheduling easy as well. read more

Great cut, great value. No chattiness, in and out. Mad scissor skills, fresh and clean.

Come on over and see Meti! His skills as a barber is unparalleled, and he definitely knows how to perfect the your hair cut in any style. His sense of humor, family and getting to know you on a personal level really shows that he cares. Everyone in the shop is so kind, they except all new comers and makes you feel like you're at home. He is the kind of person that will take you in same day, which almost no barbershop on SF does! If you want to look sharp and clean, look no more. Please pay him a visit!! read more

Came here as a last minute resort to get my beard LINED AND TRIMMED (just a clean up) specifically told Merti who assisted me that I wanted to keep the length as I'm growing my beard so I just wanted it cleaned... he did the complete opposite and pretty much shaved my beard down. Awful job at comprehensive listening. read more

Came by here to try a new barber and I'm a bit disappointed. Although the service here was great and the barbers were nice, the barber who cut my hair messed it up. My line up was pushed back to the point of no return which truly disappointed me because my barber was nice. The barber did a great job with lining my beard and doing the fade perfectly! I loved the ambiance of this shop and the prices were reasonable for SF standards. But if I'm paying $70 for a haircut, I expect my hairline not to be pushed back. Because of the service and ambiance of the place, I'm willing to go to this barbershop again, but try a different barber. read more

I'm glad to have crossed paths with Hacene! He works efficiently and consistently delivers. Being a picky hairstylist myself, I can sit with ease in his chair. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to carry on small talk and Hacene just does his thing leaving me in peace while getting me out in 30-40 min. read more

I just srtarted coming here a few months ago. I always get a little nervous switching to a new barber but I'm glad I came here to get a cut by Red. I essentially, showed him a picture on how I like the sides cut (taper fade) and he nailed it. His haircuts are precise and really well done. He is always punctual and really friendly, so I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great haircut! read more

My son's first design turned out so well. The cut was precise and we were really pleased. We will be back for more. read more

I've lived in San Francisco for over 10 years and when I stumbled upon Berber I haven't looked back. Red is truly a master at barebering - as a Middle Eastern man I have always struggled with finding a barber that knows how to work with ethnic hair and Red has always given me the perfect fade. I cannot recommend Red and his shop enough if your in the San Francisco area. read more

My first and last time ever visiting this shop. I went in this afternoon for a simple fade and had a terrible experience. The shop was empty and there was only one barber. The barber was careless and nonchalant, giving me a fade that looked nothing like what's shown on the yelp page. I asked for a 1-2 low fade but what I got was a simple 1 from bottom to top (no fade). It also cut into the crown, distorting the hair shape. The barber was rough, rushed, and reckless - completing the "fade" in less than 5 minutes. Overall I would not recommend coming in. The expectations set by this yelp page do not represent the reality of this shop. read more

You know that feeling walking out of a theater after watching a kung-fu movie that you're either in your mind doing a round-house kick or actually physically doing it and possibly looking like a fool but don't give a f*ck? I get this feeling every time I get a really great haircut feeling like a bad*ss but even more so when I know that my barber has taken care of me. All of this is credited to Meti. He's skilled in his profession, loves what he does, and is overall a great human being. There are many barbers in the area, some charge less than what's charged here, but the difference between them and Meti is the skill and the barber experience. Thanks Meti! :) read more
