Austin is the best barber I've ever had. She is incredibly personable, warm, and kind while also…read morehighly skilled at her craft. I haven't had great luck with barbers in San Diego because those I've liked have either moved away, evanesced to salons, or became so casual with me that they would rush through my cut in order to get to their next client. Not Austin. I have seen her twice now and have been overjoyed at my haircut--and overall experience!--every single time. I will be seeing her for the foreseeable future because she is as great of a barber as she is a human being (and once you meet her, you'll know that is to say she is an incredible one!) Thank you, Austin and thank you Pappy's!!

I had a very disappointing experience at this barbershop. The haircut felt rushed, and the barber…read moredidn't pay attention to the details I specifically asked for. The fade was uneven, and the overall result looked sloppy. Customer service wasn't much better--I felt like just another number rather than a valued customer. The shop also seemed disorganized, and my appointment still started late. Unfortunately, I left regretting my decision to come here. There are plenty of barbers who take more pride in their work and treat customers with more respect. I won't be returning or recommending this place.

Anyways not only did it take him almost 2 hours to cut my sons hair which was a regular comb over but he also nipped his eyebrow and took off almost half of his eyebrow than blamed my son to which my son is 9 years old. The line up was crooked and he blamed whoever cut his hair before that they did it crooked. Which we went to the same shop and it was his coworker that was there a (Mexican guy) honestly his coworker did a way better job and was faster. When I went to pay him he tried to pick up the clippers again ! I had enough paid him and took my son. Worst experience ever with any barber.

He butchered my son's haircut, took an hour and I still had to go home and fix it all up. The guy had on sunglasses and his dread all up in his face. Zero patients and professionalism. I had to ask him multiple times to get a brush or the blower thing and remove the hair off my kid and his eyes/face. If I was the owner, I would also maybe recommend that he wears shoes, how you cutting people hair with sandles? The guy also had 9 inch pinky nails that left a mark on both of my son's cheeks. Bro, I was livid but I just wanted to be done and get out of there. Dude jumped out of the bed and came to work. Cmon bro, you can do better. I paid the man $30 for a kids haircut which is ridiculous by the way just to never see him again. If I could rate it a zero I would. Don't waste your time and money here gents.

Still the best hair cut I've gotten in San Diego…read more I have been going here for over 8 years and have never had a bad hair cut. The hair cuts are always consistent and look great, but the consistency is what I appreciate. Steven is my barber. He took me in as a walk-in years ago and have stayed with him ever since. Steven also cuts my son's hair so it's always fun to go together and get our ears lowered. There are currently 4 barbers here. All are super cool with fun personalities. They always have music or a movie playing. They also have a beer fridge, so help yourself if you're thirsty. Hair cut prices are fair, in my opinion, because you get a great quality cut and a shaving cream/razor finish. Cuts cost $35 You make your appointments on their website. They have a phone number that you can call them, but thy prefer you make your appointment online. I downloaded the Booksy app and make my appointment that way. It's super easy and straight forward. I don't think they always take walk-ins but you can try your luck.

Kyle is my go-to when our schedules match (Kevin is my backup, but equally good. As are all of the guys.) It's always nice when your guy remembers you and I always have a great time catching up. I just had my first haircuts in six months and he still knew exactly what I wanted. I walked out clean and felt great. I always enjoy the crew working the chairs. Good Padres talk and people that know the area and make me feel like I'm at home. They recently redid the inside of the shop and it looks awesome, BUT they took out one of the TVs and three of the five chairs have to stare at the wall if they don't feel like being social. I love the cuts and the conversation, but I miss being able to see the TV from my seat. I hope it doesn't affect which barbers get people because of that. Big fan of these guys and super happy to have them nearby!

When I first arrived in California in 2007, I remember going through at least 10 barbers during the first 15 months I was here till I found someone with skill. After a handful of unprofessional experiences with that barber, Kevin was recommended to me by a couple friends so I took a chance and had him cut me. Now here I am almost 7 years later and I've followed him to at least 3 different shops. Unless either of us ever move out of SD, I'll be getting cut here for life.
