Mike was very nice and We had a great conversation, he gave me exactly what I wanted. He helped me style it after the cut. I will totally come back to have him cut my hair again! -Sam, age 10 read more

I took my son to Bravehold and Mike gave him the best haircut he has ever had. The experience was great and the result was a huge confidence boost and several compliments from others. We will be back! read more

These guys usually do a g rest job. You really need to be specific about what you desire or else they will give you a goober cut.

It was a bummer of a day when I learned my barber of 15 years had to leave the business. Out of loyalty, I tried repeatedly to support the same shop, but in the end, there is a difference between inexpensive and cheap. So I looked to yelp, found Laura, and easily decided on who will cover my next 15 years, or however long she works in this business. I think it was someone else who reviewed Laura here, who said something like, "if you love what you do, and do your best, then you can't lose". That's really all you need to know about Laura. read more

Another perfect cut from Mike... cheers mate! I've been going to Bravehold for about a year or so now and will continue see Mike every time I need my hair cut. Mike is not just a great barber/stylist but also a good guy that's fun to chat with.. over the past year, Mike has become like a friend to me, just one that I only have to see every 3 weeks. Much respect to Mike, a great asset to Bravehold. read more

Awesome service. Had my first cut with Cat, she was so skilled and confident. One of the best I have seen. No doubt! A++++++ read more

Good vibes and great barber skills. Already growing my beard out again so I can go back. Check them out!

Laura and the entire team at Bravehold are amazing. I have had my hair cut by several of the professionals at Bravehold and they have all done an great job at delivering a haircut that looks tight for many weeks. After a cut by Laura, I was visiting a friend of mine who is a hair stylist and she commended out of the blue that she noticed how professionally done the cut was. That was a first for me and is a testimony to the care and precision that you can expect from Bravehold. read more

Best fade I've had in years. Georgie is the man. Price is on the high side for a barber shop, but the quality matches up.

I just had my second cut at Bravehold and am extremely happy that I found this gem of a place. Mike is a very talented and humble guy. He takes the time to ask you questions on where you want to go with the cut, and helps make suggestions. The shop has that PMA, no attitude just good vibes. I highly suggest you experience a cut from Mike and visit the good people of Bravehold. Thank you for being a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Barber: Cat (works on weekends Friday-Sunday) Total Cut Time: 45-60 minutes Level of care: A+ Recommend?: Totally, without a doubt! Recommended Reservation Notice: 1 week preferred (I didn't know, was able to set up next day) Contact method: Text for appointment preferred First time cutting my hair here, what a great experience. Cat is very personable and cool to talk to. She took time to figure out what you want for your cut. She used scissors to cut my sides and top of my hair. Was totally open to trying one style and change it up if you decided the style was not for you. The complex is awesome, there are a whole bunch of barber companies that are located in the building. Each unit has one chair so the barber can focus on the client. The environment is relaxing and you get a cut, wash for 35$. The service is completely worth it and I came out happy with the result. Haircut - 35.00 Shave - 40.00 Other services are offered at reasonable prices. read more

Georgie gave me the best haircut I have ever had in my entire life. I have usually just gotten cheap haircuts at places like Great Clips and junk, but this was so worth the price. I will definitely be going back. read more

Cat was awesome! She was very meticulous and took her time cutting my hair. She was very delicate and precise and gave me exactly the cut I was looking for. I brought in pictures on my phone to show her what I wanted. I never felt rushed. She washed my hair out and styled it perfectly. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Laura's great. I gave her a try based on the reviews here and I was not disappointed. She costs a bit more, but gives great service. If you want a quick cut-and-go, try Super Cuts. If you need your male ego stroked, go to SportClips. If you want a great haircut with personal service - come here. read more

Laura is kickass! Great atmosphere and an even better shave and a haircut! Craft beer and a haircut... Don't get much better than that.

Absolutely the best spot in North County for a good trim. Cat cleans up the beard on a steady rotation and never disappoints. Ideal spot!

Had a several rocky cuts at one of those franchise places, so finally decided to look elsewhere... Bravehold is the first place I tried. Tyler cut my hair, did a fantastic job and he's great guy! Could not be happier! read more

Been going to the shop for 5 years every three weeks I also take my two sons there as well. Georgie is the best. Understands how to cut men's hair, is dedicated, professional, and gets it right every time. read more

This is the barbershop I've been searching for for the last 5 years. You can't go wrong with this shop! Best haircut I've ever gotten.

sports clips all my life no more! Gave me tips to maintain and for what i want next time

Very friendly, and pretty good haircut, so I want to leave a good review, but they used an electric razor on my neck, which left an awful red razor burn for several days :/ read more

George is very good at his craft! He took me as a walk in and was b/c of a no show. Based on all these great reviews I lucked out. I'll go back there.... read more

Great cut and beard shape up. Sometimes they don't have enough staff when folks are vacationing. Book early as you can with the easy online booking site. read more

Laura is a master of her craft. She knows exactly what she's doing and did an excellent job with my shag. It was my first time, my wife referred me and I wasn't sure what to expect since the last time I was at a barber was when I was 10 and I was on a Naval base on Guam. She is not your average barber and certainly not your average haircut. I had a great experience, Laura is super cool and I especially liked the mint toothpicks, brilliant touch. Ill have to try the IPA and the Jack on my next visit. read more

I'm gonna stop recommending these guys , they are getting too busy & they don't need it , they are the best there is around here and getting busier and busier because of it !!! You are all lucky to have them !! They are that good and certainly don't need me to recommend them , just happy to know I have a great place to go when I need a decent haircut without worrying about looking in the mirror when I leave !! read more

Husband has been getting his thick, curly hair cut with Laura for a couple years now and she's the best! Easy appointments made online. Excellent service and nice, laid-back atmosphere. read more

Great barbers are hard to find. I've been going to Laura for a little over a year now, and I'm thrilled that she's opened shop in Encinitas (I used to travel to Oceanside to see her). The only barber I trust with my both my head and my beard. Big thumbs up. read more

I don't do salons, not my style. Finding Bravehold has confirmed that there will never be a need to ever go into a salon again. For a proper barbering, Laura has to be the best. She is solid at her craft and always consistent. Her studio is like an awesome man cave that you would want to hang out at. Bonus, you can have a beer or whisky during you cut. If you have never had the pleasure of a straight razor during a cut, there is nothing like it! I can't speak more highly of this place, I try and go at least once a month. read more

Laura is great very good at what she does and fun to talk with. If your looking for someone that knows what they are doing and cool place this is it. read more

Mike did a great job on my husband's hair! Cool spot and chill vibe. My husband said he will definitely be going back. Thanks Mike!

Awesome small barbershop concept in Leucadia. Georgie did an incredible job on my man's hair.

I love this shop, I came here when they first opened in the old location. Got a haircut from Cat and she was great. Talked me through the haircut and listened to what I wanted. Good music and cool shop dog, I will return. read more

Wow. Just wow. That's what it feels like to get a real haircut! Cannot go wrong coming here Brad was excellent and the Yelp messaging service made same day appointment easy! read more

I have curly hair and it's hard to find a barber that will get it right. Mike was spot on!

Price was very high based on similar cuts I have had from barbers just as nice as this one... $40 for a 20-25 min cut is too much.

Laura is the best! Hands down the best haircut I've ever had. She's seriously into her craft and she treats you like gold. More than I ever hoped for in a cut. I've never had hair that I'm this proud of. I sent the pickiest of all my friends to her and he came back and told me same thing, best haircut he's ever had! read more

2nd visit: Laura gave me another great haircut. Many complements received on it. Not cheap but well worth it. Fine, friendly service. New location is cool, but not GPS friendly. Use your head and the address instead (or better yet, the map here i m just now noticing!) Shop is tucked back just a bit from the street. 1st visit: Received a great haircut.Very pleasant experience and very satisfied with the haircut and color. read more

Good folks, clean shop, great work. Georgie did a killer job on my mop yesterday. Really nice guy. The shop is laid back, slick, simple, no BS. Just quality cuts and quality people. Overall couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

Ok so this is hard to find as there isn't a sign on the road - it's in what looks like a condo building. The address is correct so just follow the GPS. My husband had his haircut by Georgie (who is a guy just fyi) and had a great cut. He'll definitely go back. read more

Great service! My first straight razor shave and I loved it. They treated me like royalty.
