I've been getting my hair cut by Chuck since 2018! I came across him when he was working at another shop and needed my haircut fixed for my wedding day (hair was chopped and screwed by a cheap barber). I lucked out that day because he usually doesn't take walk-ins but his appointment was running late. I haven't got my haircut anywhere else since. He's a good dude with good intentions and vibes. I don't know how he does it, but he manages to make my oblong shaped head not so oblong looking. And for that, he gets 5 stars!!! read more

Easy to get an appointment and was given an excellent Haircut and very pleased with their service and quality and atmosphere.

Took my nephew to Anthony for a haircut and had a great experience. He was very patient and understanding, and the haircut turned out great. Highly recommend! read more

Dropped by the other day while out and about, they, Bushwackers Parlor had just opened, didn't see customers yet so I parked in front and went in, asked if I could get a haircut. NO PROBLEM, sure was the response I got from guy working there. I got in the chair and started telling him what I wanted done and he said, I got it, I know what you want. AND HE DID!! Great haircut indeed. Plus, he surfs so I had someone to talk with other than about sports...Don't really give a pooh about sports, but growing up in San Francisco and surfin at Kelly's (when remnants of the pier was still there) back in the 60's) I enjoyed talking about it and the memories it brought back. Got a great haircut and SUPER GLAD Cuno is branching out...BEST OF LUCK TO HIM AND HIS GREAT CREW. Definitely RECOMMEND BUSHWACKER SHACK. Easy to get to, right up Harbor into El Camino alongside The Lariat. read more

Great vibes as soon as you walk through the door. I believe Shaine and Anthony also work there and they're very friendly and attentive to others. No cuts from them personally but from observing, they've always given excellent and clean cuts to their customers. For myself, I get my cuts by Joe and he is the man. My head shape (mentioned by my past barbers) is especially hard to cut but he always leaves me with an amazing cut each time. He's got great attention to detail and his fades/scissor work for the top is really the best I've had. read more

Finding a barber you trust is always a challenging task, but happy to say I found my barber (Anthony). I usually get a mid bald fade and each time I leave feeling like a new man. The other barbers are also super chill, and pretty funny. Parking is there, you might just have to look a bit to see it's on the side of the building. Price wise, it's what you would expect to pay for the area (around 40 before tip). read more

I've been going to Chuck for haircuts for over a year now and it's always a great experience. Chuck has good availability, he always does a good job, and he's a super nice guy who is fun to talk to. Overall, I would definitely recommend booking an appointment with Chuck at the Bushwhacker Shack! read more

Chuck is who I go to, and I haven't yet had a bad haircut. He's very methodical in his technique, as I think a haircut should be. First the bottom, then the top, then fade the middle (or something like that). Only good things to say from me. read more

Shout out to Kuno. First of all, let's be real. We're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. People are struggling everywhere. When is the last time you had a haircut? These guys provide an opportunity to keep things tight and fresh, in a safe way, in a nicely constructed, welcoming, outdoor environment. Online reservations? Check. Fully outdoors? Check. Socially distanced? Check. Sanitizer and disinfectant? Check. Awesome haircut? Double check. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

I'm writing this review to let it be known that by my personal experience today I'm giving my highest regards to the "Bushwacker Shack Barbershop" for the most excellent haircut and customer service. But I'm specially writing this to send my respect and appreciation shoutout to "Joe!" for taking me in at a last minute request and hooking me up with a 'fresh haircut' on the strength, no questions ask and from the heart.  I won't forget it.                     Thank you Brother.

New owners and have had really good experience with Kuno and the guys from Bushwackers. Glad they took over this spot and excited to see the additional capacity in the neighborhood. Easy online booking and usually can find an appointment without too much difficulty. Talented and efficient barbers. This and their other location were my normal go-to spots until we moved. Definitely recommend. read more

My Barber was Anthony ! Great job, and great customer service and attention to detail ! read more

Anthony and Shaine take care of me every time I come in here! I always leave with a fresh cut! These guys know what they're doing don't hesitate to make an appointment! read more

From the time I was a little kid to my last haircut, I had gone to the original location on Sixth not too far away (see my review.) One of the barbers who I had been seeing, Chuck, just moved to this location; i it is every bit as good with a tv & radio & every bit as clean. It is smaller with about four chairs & there is a parking lot. Needless to say, Chuck did a great job as always. So, for wonderful haircuts at reasonable prices in a clean comfortable atmosphere, Bushwacker Shack cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys. read more

This place is a solid five stars. Kuno is an expert in his field and gives great recommendations. If you're unsure of what you want you can talk to him about it and he'll give you an opinion. I've gone to several barbers and nobody has given me as much feedback as he has. He's sharp and hes quick and doesn't skimp on quality. The interior of the place is also nice and calm with music playing softly in the background with a huge area to watch sports while getting a cut. There are roughly two spots in front of the shop to park, otherwise you can park in the lot to the right side in between the tavern and the pet training place. If you do need to come by, book an appointment online in order to get in. Overall 5/5 Solid work and great service from Kuno. I've found myself a new barber. tl;dr : -Clean cuts, great feedback, great service. -Great atmosphere -Park directly in front of the shop or in the small parking lot that wraps the tavern. -Make an appointment online. read more

Been a long time customer but decided to start trying to fade my own beard. Lol. Not a good idea. Love coming to this shop. Been coming to see Lindsay for a few months now and always know she'll hooks me up looking like a million bucks with a them pockets on empty. Lol. Appreciate the whole staff. Very friendly, music is always on point. 5 stars all the way!! Highly recommended. read more

See all

Looks like Rick has hung up his shears and retired. Place is boarded up, and it looks like the owner of the property is gutting and remodeling. Sorry to see Rick go, and sad that I didn't get to say 'goodbye' and 'thank you' for 6 years of great haircuts. If anyone knows where to get a good $20 haircut, would love to hear about it. Boondock Barbers in San Carlos has been great so far, but they charge $30 for the same type of cut Rick did for $20. read more

Rick is the man! Always does a great job and loved hanging out while waiting to get a haircut and also shooting the breeze with him!- it was an experience each time! Rick is a great guy and this was a great old school Barbershop! - no fuss, standard shop! Like others have stated this is a Man's barbershop! Don't expect to get a manicure here! ...Lol!! I was disappointed to find out this morning as I went in for another haircut that he suddenly retired! Rick will be missed! Although I wish him well, where can I go to get a cut remotely close to his skills? read more

Well, I've been going to this shop for a few years now and they give good haircuts. Be warned though that during COVID, they leave their booking system online with open appointments. Result? You'll get a confirmation email for your booking...you'll plan your whole day around the appointment, drive miles to make it on time only for the shop to be closed. Jeez, just take the time guys to remove your bookings from your own website and Resurva so you don't waste people's time. Don't get me wrong, I like the shop and they give good haircuts, but ownership is somewhat unprofessional in not keeping bookings. Not cool! Hopefully this review saves a few people time, money and gas on trying to get a haircut here, especially during COVID. read more

First time taking my son and Kuno (sp?) did an amazing job on my sons hair!!! Totally recommend and we will be going back!

My boyfriend booked through their online portal for a 7am appointment today. We were worried because the time is early but it was the only available and today is his birthday. He received a confirmation the day before so we felt better about it. Unfortunately my boyfriend has to start off his 30th birthday stood up at the barber shop at 7am. What makes it even worse is he got a "your appointment has been cancelled" email at 7:03am. Yea because cancelling after the appointment is supposed to start really helps.. not. Anyway, if you want to support an unprofessional business and barber who clearly doesn't care about anyone's time but herself, please support this business. read more

Awesome cut by Robert today! I highly recommend him. My son has long curly hair with shaved sides, he wanted to keep his curls on top but desperately needed a cut. Robert suggested a style and executed to perfection! My son walked out with a huge smile and a great cut! We will be back to see Robert again. read more

Anthony is amazing and always takes care of me! Takes his time with my cut and actually cares about the results.

Been going to Rick for maybe 25 years. Gonna miss this place and the man. Thanks for the great haircuts and friendship. You're a good man

Joe Perez is a magician when it comes to cuts/fades and his attention to detail is superb. I always leave his chair feeling awesome (:

Just came in for the first time, really excellent experience. Kuno's a master and a super nice guy, vibe of the shop is very friendly and low key. Also, when a construction issue forced a reschedule, Kuno couldn't have been more accommodating, and actually comped me the cut. Dude, not necessary but yeah I think I'm a regular :) read more

Just phoned this guy up as it's near my work. Probably one of the rudest guys I've talked to recently. Does he even want any new business? He must be very popular and well off as he clearly doesn't need my business! First he tells me he doesn't take walk-ins, then tells me actually it's appointments that he doesn't take. Oh, and he also takes his lunch from 12:30-2pm (busiest time perhaps?). So I say "oh, ok" to which he tales off saying "whatever, bye" and hangs up! Hilarious. Good luck with your ongoing success pal. I'm glad I didn't take the chance and just hop over there. If he cares so little about new business I can only imagine how little he cares about cutting hair. Wow, just wow. read more

I insured the shop of my previous "hairstylist" so when she retired, I had to find a barber. I tried a couple - 1 low cost outfit that was lousy - cuts and attitudes - and some others before finding Rick at the Shear Shack. He asked what I wanted, listened and cut my hair just like I asked. I'll stick with Rick. He listens, cuts as requested and gets the job done at a very reasonable charge. Ed read more

Went over the weekend to get a haircut and surprised they weren't practicing safe social distancing considering barbershops have been allowed to open recently and expected they would take the upmost precautions. One of the customers who was talking a lot was not wearing a mask at all, when a barber did not have a customer the barber would take off their mask even with customers around. They also have 3 chairs in the shop and all 3 were filled - not even 6 feet space. According to the color tiered outline, to date, service providers are required to wear face shields and a mask - none of them were not. Cut was good, but felt uncomfortable so will not return read more

Had an appointment on Sunday at 7:30!! Tami did a great job did exactly what I wanted was very friendly. I really like the early morning weekend appointments as that is the best time to get it out of the way and have the rest of the day and it is difficult for me to get there during the week. Only thing that early in the morning would be some coffee!! Thanks Tami I will be back!! read more

I went next door to the tavern to ask about Rick and I'm told he had a heart attack. I pray he's on the mend and enjoy his retirement.

I have been going to Rick for years and was shocked the other day to find he is gone. Place is being gutted .. a worker told me he retired. Am seriously going to miss going here. Now to find a new barber shop I can afford! :-( read more

I've been going to Rick's shop for as long as he has owned it... 30 years. Like an old-school barber shop, the Shear Shack is a great place to sit down and talk while getting a quality haircut. Rick is a Bay Area native with a wealth of knowledge about what's going on across the Peninsula. He can converse on almost any topic... he likes history and sports... or he can silently clip away while you solve all the world's problems. Customers pick up on Rick's vibe and they help make getting a hair cut at the Shear Shack a positive experience. He's not pushing hair products or featuring boutique ambiance... this is a man's shop not a salon... just great hair cuts. Yeah, you'll get some squirmy kids in the shop once in a while, but most of the kids seem to enjoy the Shear Shack as much as their dads enjoy it. Funny... a couple of low star reviewers did not even get their hair cut by Rick. I'm betting if they returned to the Shear Shack and stopped checking their smartphone and tapping their foot while waiting their turn, their follow-up reviews would be a lot different. Simply put, I could not be more enthusiastic about endorsing Rick. read more

I made appointments online with Kuno 2 weeks ago. Got the confirmation and a reminder via email. When my husband and son showed up, Kuno was a NO SHOW. There was another person waiting for him to show up. No phone call, no email. ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL. If I could give him "NO STARS" I would. I called and left a message...no return call. Later in the day, I got an email stating my appointments were cancelled. Truly UNRELIABLE!!!! read more

Rick is my go-to barber in Belmont. I've had issues finding a good haircut around San Mateo/Belmont and Rick at Shear Shack always delivers.

Don't go to this barbershop, or atleast the barber Adrian. The reason why I say this is because even though I showed him a photo and told him the description of how I wanted it he decided to change it. In the photo I showed him a low taper fade blowout, and the hair in the picture had length to it About maybe 2-3 inches on it. Some how he left me without even almost a inch on the top, maybe he had to cut it short for whatever reason, but if he had to maybe let the customer know so maybe they can pick a different cut or just not get a haircut instead of doing what you want to it. That's not only it he also messed up my hairline, he pushed it back and made it sideways and the corners of the hairline were not even length nor parallel to each other. Also just to clear this up when I told him what I wanted he told me he could do that, so I assumed that I was gonna get what I wanted, but if he said he could do it then why did he cut it short and mess up my hairline pushing it back and making it sideways. What I think is he was sloppy with his work and I don't think he really try with my haircut. Definitely not going there again. 40$ to have your time wasted for a half-assed haircut that you did't want/asked for. read more

Excellent hair cut - no nonsense - no appointments (unless you book in advance for before 9:00am) ... if you need a wash or your feet rubbed don't come here - Just a nice man's haircut by a barber that has been cutting hair for decades !! read more

Great haircuts. The only downside is that you may have to wait a while to get your hair cut because it is 1st come, 1st serve. But you know you will get a quality haircut. read more

I have been going to Rick at Shear Shack for over six years. He gives me a consistently good haircut and is quite pleasant to chat with mostly about current events and sports. He is knowledgeable about the local bay area teams Giants, Warriors and 49ers especially. Very nice man when he gets to know you, but could have more patience for people that call on the phone right around closing time asking if he will stay open. He starts very early and will take appointments in the morning if you book ahead of time with a very slight surcharge to make the appointment. I notice the two recent reviews that were put off by his brusque manner on the phone. Had they taken the time to actually get a haircut they would have had a great experience. Not the best option without an appointment if you are impatient or really busy as there is usually a wait with people sitting around reading a great selection of magazines. So you either have the time to wait or book ahead for the next morning, Alternately you can go to one of those clip joints where you book online and are hit or miss in getting someone that is experienced and know what they are doing cutting your hair. read more
