Max K.

I have been going here for years and have been quite happy with both the haircuts and the level of service. But what happened this time is not acceptable and in no way excusable. I came in for my usual trim. I left bald. How would you feel if one week before you long awaited vacation and wedding anniversary you had to be bald? Sure some guys don't mind it and rock the look, but it should be an option. I did not get one. I am fucking bald for my anniversary and that is simply fucked up. So, be warned, you might walk out with a nice cut or you might walk out bald. I would not recommend this place to anyone as you might leave looking and feeling bad about yourself. Before and after photos attached.

Ask for Francesco. He's very skilled at what he does, I would definitely recommend him if you need a haircut or beard done.

Tim, one of the great cutters at Brogan and Son!

This was not the first thing I wanted to review today, but it IS the most significant, so it gets "first dibs." Think on this, now. The LAST time I got a decent Michael-Jordan-quality 'skull-shave' was probably back in 2008. TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT! CHECK IT! Up until that point, I had two people who were not certified barbers...myself and my partner, Bear. Bear does a pretty good job and is very careful about not hurting me. Me, as my own barber? Well, let me put it to you this way.... Have you seen HOSTEL? In any case, Bear 'found' Brogan and Son around the corner from where we're staying at Club Quarters. He was actually the one who chatted up Tim on my behalf, when he was outside and saw us looking in the window. He needed a cut, too, but I was in DESPERATE need of some "scalp TLC." When we finally went back later, I realized that they don't take credit cards, so we had to dash across the street to the ATM before returning and settling into our chairs. Tim, being the specialist for Black hair and how to cut it, took me into his capable hands. Very friendly, personable and skilled, once I told him I wanted a "Michael Jordan", I didn't need to say anything else about the cut for the next thirty minutes...though we conversed about everything else. Tim told me from the very beginning, that his goal is to get his customers to come back, not just to come in as a "one-off." The way I looked and felt after I left the shop, after a nice hot lather shave, complete with hot towels and a scalp massage as the finishing touch, I just have a message for Tim: I will be living in Walnut Creek, but even if they have barber shops there - which I seriously doubt - I know where I'll be getting MY cuts from. 425-C Battery Street, at LEAST once a month. And attention, BMWH (Black Men With Hair - or even without, just like me) or ANY GUY with hair, for that matter...If you're in town and need a full cut or a quick fix-up...don't go to anybody else BUT Tim. You can do worse - but I would bet money that you WON'T do better!

Francesco cleans me up real nice - killer fade, clean lines. Great barber, worked some real magic giving my hair some shape. Especially appreciate that he takes time and care with the hair to make the 30mins worthwhile. Highly recommend this place.

Oh and they gave me beer.

What happened to Francesco?

I heard he was going to start his own place or something along those lines. I have been trying to find out myself.

It took me a while to find a great barber in the Bay Area, but I stopped searching after my first haircut with Tim.

Came in for a textured fringe and showed pictures. I didn't dislike the haircut because I was…read morelooking for something more sporty but it looked nothing like the pictures I gave. It was a little too short to style. Make sure to confirm for your fade you want a zero or skin because I thought that was communicated but I didn't feel like it was to that level. The barber took his time and was about a 30 minute haircut. Hard to say but maybe not the best for Asian hair and the price was pretty steep being that it's in the city. Ambience is great and they give complimentary coffee.

I've been a customer here for 5 years and sadly no more ... they treat customers like crap and have…read moreno respect for their time. The three strikes that ended it for me, despite being so conveniently located. 1) My go-to barber said they didn't want to work with me, b/c they were too stressed after cutting my hair before a major event I was going to. There was too much pressure to make it just right before a big day LOL ... talk about soft and weird honestly. 2) Disrespectful customer service and hidden fees ... People's Barber are extremely strict about protecting their time - fining people if you're 10 min late. But with customers anything goes. I showed up at 10am on a Sat. They told me at 10:20 that they're over booked and next available slot is 11. So fine, I came back at 11, my cut starts at 11:15 and goes till 12. Then b/c the barber used scissors instead of a shaver that I booked, which took 45 min, the receptionists charged me extra b/c it took too long. I told him I didn't ask for or order the scissor cut, the barber just did it. The receptionist said, "well that's what you got so it's more now." like WTF guys. 3) Haircuts have deteriorated. I actually had scabbing on my neck when one barber used the shaver to make a sharp trim line. I unfortunately didn't save a picture so I can't post. But end of the day, they guys ran off 5 year regular... just annoying.
