What a great experience for my 10-year-old nephew, he had a bad experience before at a different location and didn't have a haircut for a whole year. This shop turned him around and boosted his confidence, its definitely a vibe. It looks like a football field inside so hats off to the barber he did his job. Chair number one good job ! read more

Love the Blitz. Q runs a great shop. All the guys are cool. It's clean, bright with tall ceilings, and everyone's friendly. There's great banter but no riff raff. Love the "Pull your pants up" sign. And let's talk about Tré Clancy my barber. The guy is money. Sharp, thoughtful, soft-spoken, listens more than he talks and gives me the best taper ever. He's been cutting my hair for four more then four years. It's an absolute pleasure every time. read more

Seems like a nice, family-run shop, which is always great to see. And it also seems from the reviews that some of the barbers there really know their shit. But the cut I got was easily among the worst I've ever had. I'm not fixin to put anyone on blast, (but I could, and I could add pictures) but damn. I was trying to get a quick temple fade and lineup for a date. I called in advance and asked how long it would take, they said 20 minutes. Shit took 2+ hours, so I was late. Then when I'm actually in the chair, dude leaves cuts to my skin around the line up, didn't ask how I wanted the sideburns so he took em from fat to skinny and the fade blend wasn't nice. Like it wasn't bad, but it wasn't dope. Then I told him to leave my mustache and goatee connected, but instead he cuts it into two pieces and doesn't even get all the stubble from my cheeks and neck. The whole time the guy is constantly talking about his life and shit. And then as insult to injury charges 23 bucks and doesn't have change for 30. I will definitely never go there again. read more

Tre has been cutting my son's hair for about 1 year after a friend recommended him. He does a great job no matter how I ask for him to cut it. He has some interesting conversations with a 3 year old & makes him feel comfortable in the chair. I have a few barbers much closer, but prefer to continue going to Blitz. All of the guys are friendly and make us feel welcome. I HIGHLY recommend making an appointment because Tre is very popular. read more

I took my 7 year old son and he has curly hair. I only wanted a little line up and taper. This was our first time here and my son has gotten the same haircut other places but this barber cut off way too much hair in the front and the taper almost look like a Mohawk... the taper was more like a fade, my son doesn't have any hair on the sides and all of his baby hairs are gone, his hairline is pushed back at least an inch. I didn't notice until we left. Good thing it's only hair and it will grow back. But I won't be taking my child back here. read more

Ray is the best! He has a ring light which NOOOO other barber I've been to does. He's efficient, clean, and hella coo to talk to. Book him ASAP read more

Great haircut and beard trim! I have already been to this place twice and intend to return.

You need an appointment otherwise the wait is 45 minutes to an hour. I wonder when did barbers become divas? I guess times have changed. As a 71 year old man I can remember when the client was appreciaTed. This only my personal opinion but Its not an inclusive shop. My preference is get in and out without engaging in barber shop talk. I will not return to this shop. read more

I needed a haircut at the last minute and Tre took me within the hour. This was one of the best haircuts I've had. He pays incredible attention to detail and has a wonderful personality. The shop was clean, friendly and everyone had on masks. That's something that's important to me, given this planets current engulfment of destruction and chaos! read more

My son has been going to this shop for five years. He has seen a variety of barbers and they all have been wonderful. When he was 2-3 years old they made a point to cut his hair along his pattern and not line his front since their hairlines grow in later. As he has gotten older they cut his hair to give him a great style. He is 9 now and also is privy to their deep conversations pertinent to the black community. As a woman, I can discuss his issues as a young growing male and be given great advice. They drive home parent issues and concerns while leaving young men with a great sense of pride. He walks out of the shop every time feeling handsome and confident. Their prices are super reasonable. His cuts are $12-$15. read more

The barber I had was real nice and a good personality. But bro messed up my fade, I didn't notice leaving the shop since I had to run, as soon as I got home I noticed how uneven my fade was all around. It's like he faded one side real nice but the rest looks like dogshit. I'm honestly pretty upset I spent $35 on this cut, nothing against the barber at all but damn he did me dirty. read more

Not opened on Sundays as advertised. I hate when businesses do this! If you are closed on Sunday don't false advertise that you are on Yelp or on the building door. Just wasted time and money coming out here for nothing. read more

This review is for JBOY he is a great barber haircuts are always done beautiful he uses superb techniques with flawless blends. I am in the industry as licensed cosmetologist so I know quality work.

I waked In on a Sunday at about 11:45pm young guy says I'm closed after the one in my chair on top of that. He was really weird when he said it and it was another person waiting for a hair cut and it clearly saying on yelp And the sign open 7 days a week. Very unprofessional and they probably are horrible at cutting hair. If there customer service is that bad. Period read more

I like this spot. Has a laid back vibe. Go on Sunday and visit Rock. She'll hook you up with a nice cut and her conversation is good. When I walked in there was just one person ahead of me and I was out of there rather quickly considering. I will definitely be going back to Rock, she's my new barber no doubt. read more

If you have never tried out Blitz Barbershop please make it a point to go and get a great haircut! This is a real solid place. First and foremost I have not only been attending this barbershop since its inception but I have been with Q, the owner of Blitz Barbershop, for many many years! He is a quality professional barber and loves his craft! Q always is progressive always adapting to the newest styles and trends of our time while maintaining the integrity and originality of barbering. Blitz has a unique and cool take on a barbershop with a sports themed look to it. The shop is always well maintained, clean and comfortable. The barbers there are courteous and very respectable. One thing about here is that you will always feel like you belong. No one person is ever left out of a conversation or unnoticed. The prices are reasonable and well worth the quality and level of service you get. In fact the pricing on cuts and shaves are very modest in my opinion because you walk out with more than you expect. Blitz Barbershop is for everyone, young kids, middle age and older clientele. Q and his staff always do their best to make sure each and every person is accommodated. The barbers are very prompt and on time with appointments. Blitz is well received in the Laurel community and that shows as they support the community in return. I have been to many barbershops in the past but one things is for certain is that Blitz is a gem and one of a kind. Every time I have come here I have been taken care of very well and can never see myself at any other place. Definitely check this place out and you can't go wrong. read more

Blitz is a staple in the Laurel Neighborhood. All the barbers are genuine good people and their skills are top notch. Nobody is touching my head but J Boy for the foreseeable future and I live in Stockton. Ask for the full service!!! read more

The brothers at Blitz are professional, attentive and make you feel welcomed. As a woman, I enjoy having my hair cut there. I do not have to wait when I call in for an appointment, I am seen right away and the price is right! read more

I've lived in Oakland for 4 years now. for the 1st year, i tried so many barber shops, i cannot even count. I also shaved my head so many times after getting a cut, that my wife said i was going to go bald from the stress of dealing with a bad cut. Then i found Q and Blitz Barbershop!! I went in after reading a few reviews. One reviewer, telling everyone he is White, made me slightly nervous. Only because i am white/mexican, and thought i might be ignored as well. That was, thankfully, not the case. I was welcomed with a hello, whats up, or yo from everyone in the shop. I felt instantly comfortable. I sat in Q's chair and left with a clean cut! walked back home and the wife knew instantly i found my new spot... 4 years later it's still the only place I trust in the bay! Thanks again, to Q and all the barbers at Blitz Barbershop, You do great work and you are a wonderful business to have in The Laurel. read more

My new barber spot! Ro hooked me up. He didn't just start cutting away. He took a min to see what's going on with my hair. Plus he shaped my beard. If you're looking for a barber, try this place out. read more

Blitz Barbershop - Thanks Ro! - Barbers Near Me - Oakland, California

This was the first haircut inhale paid for in 25 years. Usually I just hit it with the #1 guard on my clippers and call it a day. I decided to try having a pro do it and was pleasantly surprised. Rock did a super clean job on my beard and a nice taper up top. The real magic happened when she put some pomade in. The only downside is it looks a little puffy without the pomade, so needs maintenance now that I have never had to do in the past. Not Roc's fault, just need to keep growing out the top :) read more

I have to say I have no complaints when it comes to this place. The moment you come in you feel welcomed and they take their time with you. It's nice going to a place going in and them knowing what you like. The themed barbershop with each of the chairs being a NFL theme sets it apart.They also accept card which is a plus. read more

Today is Saturday august 7, 2021 earlier today at 10 am I called and scheduled an appointment for 12 in the afternoon. I was gonna be late to the appointment so I call ahead of time to let him know I was running late and if that was ok. The barber with the Jaguar gear said no problem. So I show up 30 mins late and he doesn't greet me or say a word and he has no clients on the chair and his next client comes in 30mins later and he starts cutting his hair so I'm like ok that's fine I missed my appointment so I guess I get bumped back right? No. He waited to be 30mins into his haircut to tell me he won't be able to cut my hair. I sat there for an hour just to hear that. Horrible customer service. I don't recommend going there to cut your hair. Or if you do don't get your hair cut by the barber with the Jaguar gear. I'm mad I sat for an hour and the only words that were spoken to me were "I'm not gonna lie.. I ain't got time to cut you today" could've just let me know from the beginning. read more

Been coming to the barbershop for years! This has transformed into one of Oakland's gems. It's not just another barbershop and you don't just get a regular haircut. The barbers here understand the power a fresh haircut can have on an individual and make sure you don't leave until your satisfies and feeling like a new man. No matter how far I move, this is going to be my home! read more

Quincy or Q has been my barber for over 11 years now and I wouldn't go to anyone else. Infact, I used to live in Oakland so it was a convenient 5 minute drive away; now I live in fairfield and I STILL will only come here for a cut! I've never had any complaints in all of the time I've been getting my cuts here Q really takes pride in both his work and his shop and all of the barbers create a great flow and a fun environment. He is ALWAYS willing to accommodate my busy work schedule, often coming in early just so I can get my cut. People have suggested that now that I'm farther away to find another barber but no way! No matter how far I go, I'll always come back to Blitz Barbershop and recommend you do to. read more

My middle school daughter had an awful experience there. They gave us a young girl who didn't seem at all like a properly qualified hair stylist. She was a very poor communicator. Experienced barbers sat there and watched this youngster butcher my daughter's hair. read more

I have been getting haircuts from Blitz Barbershop formerly known as Butta Qutz for about 10 years. High School, College, and Professional Career. Every single time that I have gone to Q I have been 100% satisfied. Q is always up to date and whatever haircut that I request ;( long hair, braid, fades, tapers, comb overs etc ) he always provides the best quality in Oakland. Blitz is the only Barbershop that I trust. read more

Blitz Barbershop - Fresh Comb Over with a Bald Taper and Lined up Beard - Barbers Near Me - Oakland, California

It's Monday Morning and this is one of the few shops in Oakland that are open. I called up and talk to Trey and he said they take walk ins. I travel a lot so I end up using different barbers around the county so I keep a picture of the cuts I like Best on my phone. I showed him what I needed and she delivered. Very cool guy, takes his time and very professional. They take cash and cards which is a bonus. Got a cut and beard trim for a very reasonable price. When I'm back in town I'll be seeing Trey again. read more

Yesterday i got a haircut and honesty i felt like i got ripped off for payin 25 dollars for this,first of all it he did not use a hot towel on my face before using a blade so that my face wouldnt get irritated and as a result today i woke up with scrapes and burns on the back and front of my neck...the cut wasnt so bad but i felt like he needed to b more aware of what hes doing and on the process of using his blade.he cut himself and completely stop using it after. I had to ask him to continue what he was doing in order for him to start again.he also did my beard a little uneven and said hd was done like everything was perfect i had to ask him to fix that as well . i though he would give a discount for all the little screw ups but i thought wrong . 25 dollars isnt a lot of money but i have never paid that much for a line up and beard trim . Some people really seem to like it here . I guess it depends who you go to but it isnt for me . All these cuts and burns arent worth it . read more

I never learn. Stick to your own barber!!! My haircut was horrible and I paid $30. I asked for a beard line up, I paid $5 for nothing. My 1 all around looked like sh*t. Never again. 2 stars because the barber was friendly but he need some practice. read more

I've been going here since I moved into the fruitvale at the beginning of the year, and Tre has always taken care of me. Before I used to have a comb over and this time I went with an undercut. He did both better than I have had just about any other barber do. It took some time but he really puts the effort in. I don't think I will bother with another barber unless I move. read more

Great barbers, great cuts and tight fades. Must recommend to all the fellas out there. Never leave here disappointed, on my momma

Great service trey hooked me up courteous made convo which most barbers dnt since ive experienced moving to cali

There comes a time in a young gals life when you feel overly confident in your friends unprofessional abilities to give you a bald fade from the comfort of your bathroom. You wake up the next day with so much regret in your stomach that you Yelp a barber shop that's open early on a Sunday because going out into the world looking like a 2 yr old took clippers to your hair, just isn't ideal. I found that blitz was located 4 mins from me and I walked in and was immediately greeted by one of the barbers and was told that Chicago would be blessing my nugget and he sure did. That man is so gifted and a perfectionist at that! I definitely found my go to barber. Thank you again Chicago for fixing the mess on my head! read more

This is my go to barbershop since moving to oakland from Fairfield. It's always hard to find a new barber when moving from a new city. You have to find the right spot and right barber. Located in the laurel district, the area is nice family owned business area. Ro is my barber and very personable, his cuts are clean and sharp and timely. The whole shop is clean and the other barbers are engaging. The shop has a few tv's with cable, so you can watch the game while getting cut. Prices are reasonable, the same as every urban shop in the bay but the experience is worth it. Blitz is the spot read more
