I just walked in, and Martin was free. it was a great experience. He was fast and I felt good when I left and feel like I look better. I will definitely be back in a couple of weeks. Thanks Martin, you don't even know how much you changed me! The shop was clean and is my new Go-To. read more

Lordy lord I was looking mighty rough with my Mini fro I was around La mesa today running errands and decided to find a business to get my hair cut using yelp of course.. - it's a Monday evening ( fall back ) (time change) so the time today had me all tripped up I pulled up to this little shop Cali Fresh Cutz :) I was greeted by Anthony. - I expressed how I'm very picky on the barbers I try because there are some that have tore up my hair.. examples: cut me with edging razor, pushing hair line back smh, uneven taper. Smh ( thank goodness hair grows back) Anthony said, "no worries here, I've been cutting for over 20 years, I got you". -Anthony really took his time, started taping the sides of my head and the back of my head. Next, he started cutting my hair down to a 1/2 all around with the grain. Lastly he shaped my beard and hairline Once the finished product was complete I was impressed my boy Anthony gets down with the clippers and I recommend anyone looking for a good cut to stop by and check him out. - Anthony is versatile and can cut any type of hair. He is also from the east coast "Chicago" if you know about folks that come from Chi, NY, FL, down south they take pride in their craft and generally will stir you in the right direction when it comes to what your looking for. Cost me 25$ for my cut today (20 for cut, 5 for beard) - I feel rejuvenated Yeeaa I said, enjoy yelpers!!! read more

Great cuts and great customer service. Barber was very particular and liked to double check on aspects of the cut not to mention they fit me in as a walk in on a Sunday when they're typically booked up. Definitely will be back. read more

Made an appointment at 10 and the place wasn't even open. Drive and time wasted. Went to another barbershop instead and got it instantly done On top of that, I'm charged $17 for a haircut that I didn't get from them!!!! Are you kidding me?!! I'm disputing these and reporting them. read more

Obviously these gentlemen don't know what they are doing! They have the best reviews of any barber in SD & I was excited to try them out! I got a nape cut with a design. I showed my barber, I believe his name was Martin, the design & he started in. I asked 'would you like to look at it again' and he declined. My hair was all gone & "finished" by the time my friends were practically sitting down. I don't feel like he put any soul or love into my hair.... And I actually hate it. He cut off too much & it looks beyond strange. But thanks for running back to smoke hookah the MOMENT you finish cutting my hair... Strangest place ever. I guess you can't always count on reviews. Until next timeeeee. read more

Cali Fresh Cutz - like what the helllllll - Barbers Near Me - La Mesa, California

This is NOT your typical barbershop that charges $7-10 for a quick fade, if you're looking for just a quick regular fade then this is not the barbershop for you. Cali Fresh Cutz considers their services as art not just a haircut and they will work with you to get you the cut/design you're looking for. I always book my appointment with Martin the owner. All of my visits have been exceptional, Martin always looked out and worked with me to make sure I get the exact haircut I wanted. The shop also respond to all inquiries very quickly so you never have to wait long. I recommend this place for anyone that is looking to have awesome fresh fades or hair designs done, nothing better than a chill barbershop with good vibes and great cutz. read more

Hey first cut that made me feel like home These guys the best All the way uppppp #theboom read more

Oh god damn, they did a good job. Pardon the language. Zaman did a great a job with my comb over cut and beard trim. Would not hesitate coming again. They set a tone with modern gentlemen cuts in Cali that's for sure. Between both Zaman and Sammy the joking barber-customer relationship was awesome. I highly recommend coming here. I hardly post here, but for me to get out the app and review 10 minutes later should say something. Cali fresh cutz baby! read more

My bad Martin I should have done this earlier. Save yourself the trouble of going anywhere else. Martin owns the shop and does a phenomenal job every time. It's a smaller shop, but he's efficient, meticulous, and treats his customers with respect. The other barbers in there do a great job as well but I was recommended to use Martin and haven't left since. He's great with kids as well and doesn't make anyone feel like they are not welcomed. read more

Best Barbershop in town. And by this i mean: cuts, atmosphere, and professionalism. You can walk in here having the worst day of your life and You will come out happy from a Cali fresh haircut and all the barbers are awesome. Shout out to my boys always positive vibes and great cuts. read more

Cali Fresh Cutz - skin fade with sideburn - Barbers Near Me - La Mesa, California

Place says opens at 10! Didn't make an appointment because it says walks ins welcome online (even says it on their window) so I figured I'd show up right when they open. I've been here for 30 mins and still no ones here . Place prides itself on being professional but they don't play the part. Time is valuable, so don't waste yours here. Take yourself to a real professional shop where they know the value of your time. read more

Barbers were really cool people, but the design I had done to my undercut is simply awful. It's uneven and he used a straight razor to "define it" and totally cut up my scalp. The photos of his design work look great, but somehow I got all uneven lines and cuts in my skin. I really wanted to like this place. He was also going to charge me $35 at first which I was happy to pay, but once he was finished he said ,"hmmm I'm only going to charge you $25". I think he knew it looked bad, weird thing to drop the price like that right? Well I'm healing my scalp and hiding my design until it grows back enough to shave again at a different shop. read more

Was in need of a haircut, and was trying to find a place near my work, and I came upon this place, so I tried it out. I walked in, and Zaman was just finishing up with a customer. Me, looking like an idiot, stood within the middle of the barber shop, and had no idea what to do. Even though he was tired and wanted a break, he let me get my cut. Now THAT'S customer service. Throughout the haircut, Zaman begins to make small talk with me. Normally I don't make small talk (aside from the barber asking how I'd like my hair done), so it was really cool that we had that going, and I didn't feel awkward at all. On top of that, everyone else inside were friendly to everyone around them. The conversations we were having and listening to were funny too! Someone got locked out of their car and needed help getting back in, and Zaman and I had our own talk. REALLY nice guy! Did I mention that he sings too? Brandy's 'Have You Ever' came on their Pandora station, and he got down with it! Anyways, the haircut part was just as good with him. I got a comb over. He was very meticulous while cutting my hair. He looked at my hair various times and was always making sure that he was looking out for my best interests. He even made a few suggestions for me when i would stylize my hair. I really liked that, as in my other experiences in barber shops they just look at me and shake their heads, as if I did something wrong. I really liked how my hair came out, and it was at a reasonable price! Thanks again for the cut, Zaman! I'll be frequenting this place more often! read more

This barbershop is legit. Salute to the Cali Fresh Cutz family for getting me fresh for my step dads funeral. Martin took me in and lifeguard Thomas closed the show. Excellent customer service. I live in LA so I needed a cut while in SD and took a chance on this spot and don't regret it one bit. These guys are very nice and masters of their trade. They go over the top to please their clients and their cuts prove their expertise. Ask for Lifeguard Thomas, his cuts are beyond clean. Thanks and salute family :) Arty Banks LA read more

I moved to San Diego a few months ago from Orange County and was in need of a barber I could trust, and who would cut consistently well. I was relieved to find that Martin not only is a great barber, but is a honest man too. I hardly write reviews on yelp, but Martin certainly earned my business. read more

I used to get graphics done in my hair back in Chicago and was looking for a place that does them here and I came across this place.

I've been coming to Zaman & Martin's shop for about 10 years. Their art work is out of this world. A barber that takes their time and appreciates their customers preferences is big for me.

New to the city and it's always hard to find a new barbershop. Cali fresh cutz was the first place i tried. Cut came out clean!

These guys are rude and unprofessional. I came in around 3pm with no other clientele in the room. Neither the black man or the Latino guy greeted or wanted to help me (that's the best I can describe them). The black guy was playing with his phone and he asked the other guy to cut my hair. All I wanted was my fade fixed because it was uneven. And I did not want to go back to the other barbershop that messed it up. Super hard right? The latino guy said "normally I charge $40 but I can get it done for $30" WTF expensive and not worth it!!! I should've walked out if I had known his work would've been mediocre. Not only that but he had some telenovela on the TV going on and took long frequent pauses watching it while trimming my hair. Unjustifiably rude, extremely unprofessional, AND ridiculously expensive. Go somewhere else!!! EDIT: This IS the right barber shop. My experience was from last year. I remember it vividly because it was so bad. I had to post it now after a friend wanted to try your place out. Regardless, it does not excuse my bad experience. read more

Cali Fresh Cutz - Fresh Cali Cut Comb over with sides tapered , Lined up with the Blade by Martin Hana - Barbers Near Me - La Mesa, California

Been going to Cali Fresh Cutz for about 4 years. I literally can's go anywhere else bc Zaman does such a detailed job every time. Im kinda particular about having it done right, and with Zaman, he really makes sure im liking it as he's going through the cut. He's got an eye for what looks good so at times he'll even suggest trying a certain style. Great shop, friendly barbers, solid cutz every time. Boom! read more

Ok, so i got a cut today and it was shit. The guy who cut my hair can't find a part to save his life and i asked for a skin fade and didn't get the, not even close. He also trimmed my beard and by trim I mean he jacked the line under my chin to the point of where I had to fix it myself and cut it to close to my chin than preferred. So i total they suck if you want more than the average haircut. Don't waste your time. Fuck em' read more

Went today to get a haircut for the first time as I have tried other barbershops in my area but wasn't very please with their service, really nice shop and really cool people Zaman cut my hair and I gotta be honest I really loved it!!

New to the La Mesa area from the SF Bay so I needed to find a good barber... several had great reviews including this spot. I chose Cali Cutz as all of their reviews seemed positive and there were no red flags such as the "too cool" indifference attitude another shop in the area had in several Yelp reviews. Martin seated me immediately and after I let him know what I wanted, he repeated my haircut "order" to me as he understood it; in order to ensure we were on the same page. He executed the cut deftly and with precision while still taking time to "jaw" at his barber buddies. All the artists were cool and real, not "real cool faddish imps" like some other barber shops. They have great humor, comfy AC and offered me a beverage. Most importantly Martin cut my hair to perfection. read more

My usual barber didn't have an open spot so I ended up here. I just needed to had my head shaved, nothing fancy. Didn't spend too much, $25 plus tip if I remember correctly. It's a nice atmosphere, tv showing football and some guys playing dominoes. Nice crowd, decent conversation. Will be back for the hot towel shave and I'll update my review. Cool spot. read more

I've been there three times, tonight makes four. Every time I've been there I have felt neglected as a customer. It seems if your not with the "in crowd" you get placed in a continuous cue, waiting and waiting for a cheap haircut. I waited for 2 hours this evening while I watched one guy lazily sit in one of 4 chairs, while another worker starts to wrap up....it would have been ok if he went home. Instead he begins to sit in his chair. Leaving two people left to cut hair, and that's still second to them messing around with their telephones. I would understand waiting in line for an hour if I was going to pay $60 dollars for a haircut. But for $20?!?!?! The most laziest, unprofessional, group of gentleman I have ever sadly done business with. I will never return to this establishment. Edit: Some clarification I was asked if I had an appointment yes, so in that sense I was told about the appointment policy, but I was also told I would be accommodated after a "little" bit of a wait. Now it was early afternoon I thought I could wait something like 25 maybe even 35 minutes for a chair to open up. Never was I told how many people I had in front of me nor was I given a realistic wait time. Matter of fact I saw three potential customers leave before I did. Never once in the hour and 45 minutes I sat there and 15 minutes it took me to write the review did I receive a "hey man maybe you can make an appointment for tomorrow" or even a "hey man thank you for sticking in there, it's going to be BLAH minutes before we get you sat down". I sat and waited while other people left. So now on to phones. Call me old school but I feel as if their should be a limited phone policy while in the customer service field. Simply because it's me and the other customers in front of you who are paying. And not whatever is in the other side of your cell phone. I've worked in customer service. Never have I heard it's alright to multitask both a job priority task with a task on your cellphone. I'm not going to go into detail, but I know with a great deal of certainty it was not a calendar/making appointments app. In summary, I received a response to my genuine review, Which happens to be my only one....if that says anything. It made me feel like in their line of work the customer is always wrong. I understand defending your employees, but let's be real here. It's not like I'm the first to bring these points up. read more

I've lived in San Diego for over 3 years now and this is by far the best barber shop I have been to. Everyone here makes you feel part of the family and are extremely professional. If you come here you should expect great haircuts as well as an old school barber shop feeling. With the quality of cuts you get here you should definitely make an appointment before coming as it can get busy especially during the weekend (Fri-Sun). read more

I'm such a procrastinator, should've done this month's ago! I took my boys here once, and I only say once because we travel back and forth between San Diego & Las Vegas so much it's hard to find time to go back (can you imagine what their haircut game looks like now) being a single mom to boys, haircuts are not my Forte so I rely on their barbers to make them look fresh, Zaman did just that!! They absolutely loved their style, and so did everyone they came across! I can't stress enough on how much I love Cali Fresh Cutz, they def. Know what they're doing, their personalities are amazing! When you can literally make me cry from laughing so hard, you're amazing in my book! I will be back with my boys when they're back from Vegas!! read more

Came in after a barber shop down the street butchered my hair. I was greeted by Zaman who was surprisingly a very down to earth dude. I explained my situation to him and he told me he could fix it. He had about 4 guys ahead of me that he was already acquainted with and after cutting two of them he made my haircut a priority and got me hooked up before he cut the next guy. Overall the shop has a great atmosphere and is surrounded by by bunch of cool dudes and characters. I will definitely stop by again. read more

Lifeguard's blades are too sharp or hot! Left cuts/burns which are now scabbing over on my lineup. Took way too long for a average cut. Get new blades that are not too sharp or spend less time going over and over the same lineup. Use to go here alot a few years ago. They lost some good barbers!! read more
