Great stylist and gave me a very proper look that I was hopping for. Please go and support all our local businesses! I did reunite with an old friend who cuts but I highly recommend going to Chevere cuts. read more

We LOVE Charles!! We actually drive from Brentwood to see him because his quality of work is worth it. My son and husband have thin hair so if it is not faded correctly it looks odd and you can see the lines. Charles does an excellent job every time. Charles makes my 4 year old feel comfortable. He has large TVs and even will turn on cartoons for him. You won't regret going to Charles! read more

Charles is the best barber in the Lamorinda area. I've been going to home for almost 2 years. He's super accommodating -- I made a mistake scheduling my appointment in the app and he opened up early on a Saturday to make room for me. Go see Charles - you won't regret it. read more

No pictures because my kids say no to sharing on the Internet... but we visited Charles this weekend and so glad to have found him. He was great with the kids--my 12 year old is pretty shy so getting her to speak to a new person isn't all that easy--and the love their cuts. They're both growing their hair long and he did a terrific job cleaning everything up and making them look like real human beings and not pandemic hermits! read more

Charles at Chevere is a nice, friendly guy besides being a great professional! The place was clean and tidy even before the pandemic, and continues that way. I highly recommend him! read more

I love coming here to get my haircut! I just moved back to the area and couldn't wait to come in and get rid of my COVID hair. Great experience every time. read more

I have been going to Charles since he opened his business. He is professional, punctual and a gentleman. Charles is very good at cutting hair and an enjoyable person to talk to. I challenge you to find a better service and find a barber of his caliber at the price he charges. read more

Charles is awesome! We have been bringing our two sons here for years and have always been super satisfied with the quality of the cuts. He knows exactly what he's doing and has the eye to give you exactly what you are looking for. I have recently started getting my own cuts here too and am quite pleased. Best barber in town! read more

Now I know why Charles gets such great reviews! This was the first time my son didn't complain about a haircut. I'll be bringing my other son here also from now on. Thank you!! read more

Good service, capable friendly, good price. We'll located and pleasant, no frills environment

Best Barber I've ever had...not only does Charles give a great cut...he's consistent, which seems to be a lost art these days. Aside from being a top notch Barber, Charles is an all around solid dude who takes a genuine interest in his customers. Can't say enough good things about the Chuckster! read more

Probably one of my smartest decisions to come here! I love this place! I got to school at St. Mary's now, but before that, I would get my haircut back in San Jose (where I live) and I have always been disappointed with the way people in SJ cut hair. Whenever I tell them what to do, they always cut it the way they see fit instead of how I instructed them to. Charles always cuts my hair the way I want! My first time at Chevere Cuts...he walked me through the entire process of my hair cut. He told me step by step what he was going to do (i.e. where he would start my layers, which sections he was going to thin out..etc). Also, one of my favorite things was when I told him that I only wanted an inch off the bottom...he showed me with a ruler how much an inch of my hair was so that it would ensure me that he would only take off an an exact inch and not one centimeter more. I particularly really appreciated this because whenever I tell other places to cut an inch...usually they cut so much more and I end up with my hair being waaaaay too short. My layers came out perfect, he cut the right amount off the bottom, and the thinness of my hair was perfect! The second time I went into Chevere Cuts...Charles remembered my name, he remembered how he cut my hair the first time around so I didn't have to give him much direction, and he also remembered the conversation we engaged in when I first came in. I love that Charles is so personal with his customers. It really makes me feel comfortable around him and it makes me trust him even more with my hair. He is so friendly! When he finished my hair the second time I loved it once again!...Although, when I got back to my dorm, I noticed that I wanted my hair layered a little bit more and for it to be thinned out. I emailed Charles about my minor changes and he responded right away with a phone call! I came in the next day, and he fixed it FOR FREE. It came out perfectly! He accommodated to any changes that I wanted and he took my direction so well! Charles is definitely the best! When school is out for the summer and I move back to San Jose, I'm definitely making the hour drive back up to Lafayette to pay him a visit! **oh! and SMC students get a discount with ID and it is also $5 off your first visit. read more

Jon G. notes the business listing says by appointment only. Unfortunately, I have no way to know whether that field was updated before or after my review. Further, he says not to negatively affect someone's livelihood by "your mistake". He misses the point. First, he's running a by-appointment salon, not a barber shop - so he needs to update his Yelp listing. Second, and more importantly, his tone was snotty and rude. If his livelihood is negatively affected, it's because of that. read more

I first meet Charles when I was in dire need of a cut and did a 'walk in' corporate cut shop, during my first cut, he clearly showed he was a master. My hair is not easy to manage, but he tamed it. He was engaging and friendly, even keeping my young daughter engaged in the process ..... ("Really Dad, I need to go with you for YOUR haircut"). After one or two more cuts with him, as I was giving him his tip I was compelled to give him the Billy Joel line "Man what are you doing here.." Soon after, I was happy to find he had opened his own shop. Now use him religiously often with my daughter willing coming along- she will even ride a bike to the shop from Moraga to Lafayette with me for cut. This past holiday season, I was passing thru town with my sister from Colorado and stopped in to wish Charles and Semi a happy holiday and my sister was welcomed in and conversations started around world travels and local areas shared by Semi and my sister - just a comfortable place. Chevere Cuts is a class act in a hard industry and hard town to start a business. I am very glad we have Charles in our town. As review #20 with five stars, I was thinking do I really need to post....., but yes Charles is that good. read more

Charles is great! Best kept secret in Lafayette! Another Yelp save! I would have never found Charles without Yelp pinpointing his location. Great Hair Stylist. I will be a repeat customer! You can walk in but I would recommend making an appointment! read more

Thanks to Yelp, stumbled upon Chevere Cuts (and the owners Charles n Semi) and a great find it has been for my husband. Charles is attentive, friendly and with a generally sunny disposition :) And of course will send you home with a great haircut!! The store is closed on some days of the week, so make sure you call and have an appointment. read more

Charles was extremely honest with me about the haircut I originally wanted, and explained why it would not be best with my thinning hair. I appreciated his candor and recommendations for a cool, fresh cut that would work with my hair type. Very friendly guy and down to earth. I'll definitely return. Thanks Charles! read more

I truly look forward to getting my haircut knowing I will have some quality time with Charles. He has been cutting my hair for 13 years and he is one of the most personable guy I know. His 1 chair shop is actually more of a community gathering place because he is very intentional on making sure everyone feels welcome. He gives a fantastic haircut at a very reasonable price. Super convenient to book an appointment so go see Charles. You will leave feeling and looking great! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Charles and Chevere cuts. I am very lucky I found someone who knows how to cut hair. I moved to Arizona a couple years ago, and frequently come back to visit. I make sure to wait to get my hair cut until I come back to Lafayette! The barber shop is clean and well kept, and the hours are posted. Thank you Charles and Chevere Cuts for being a quality business that is above and beyond a normal barber shop. read more

Great haircuts at a reasonable price. Charlie is professional, personable, and hygienically smart--so important at present

Make an appointment. This location is a barber shop feel, but you'll need the appointment. Charles knows hair, and is great at what he does. (hence he's busy!) + Great haircut + Great service (would you like a beverage?) + Super friendly + Excellent pricing + Great location The only place we go for our haircuts. read more

I've tried all the local salons in the area and Chevere is the best. Charles is super friendly and really knows how to cut hair. Charles really listened to what you are looking for and cut my hair first time, perfectly. I'm really happy with Chevere Cuts and would recommend them to everyone. Also, good price and really convenient location. read more

I have had a few haircuts from Charles and they have been inconsistent. His attention to detail is lacking. He churns out the customers in a limited time. I am happy to move on to someone who takes more care. read more

I wanted to update my review because I posted several years ago but after the pandemic this is still a great place to get your hair cut. Just call to make an appointment and the parking lot is huge. Charles is a great guy and he is a local independent businessperson who has managed to weather the Covid storm. Great place. Great people. Super convenient. And a great haircut! Check it out! read more

World class hair guy - great location, lots of parking all day. Charles has been cutting my hair for years. He is a classy guy in a classic role. When my wife's parents came to live with us, Dad (90 yo but cool) needed a barber. We went through three of the "old guys" in town but they slowly but surely closed shop and retired, leaving Dad to wander in search of a good haircut. Problem was he didn't like chain hair salons, hence, Charles was not an option for him during his time at the corporate haircutters down the road. As fate would have it, Chaz decided to strike out with his own shop and took over the former space of one of the retirees - next to what is now Whole Foods. I finally convinced Dad to try a guy that still has hair of his own - now he won't go to anyone else. Mom gets her nails done at the place next door. We will not go to anyone else for a haircut. Do the right thing and support an independent business owner - AND get a great haircut every time at a fair price. read more

Charles is professional, friendly, and an all-around great person. He truly cares about and gets to know each customer. Haircuts are consistent, high-quality, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a new barber or just to get a haircut in Lamorinda, look no further! Haircuts are by appointment only. read more

Charles is a great guy. He is personable, funny, and attentive. He is also very accommodating - he appointed me a special time just to help with my busy schedule. He is busy because he is good. Go meet him! read more

I discovered Charles through chance when I was next in the queue at Supercuts. Now he's taking over what used to be Nick's and transformed it into Chevere. Charles is an all-around great guy with exceptional skill. I'm always happy with his work. Great personality, fun to chat with. His wife, Semi, helps run the shop and is very sweet. Charles gave the interior some upgrades and a bit of a 'facelift' while still maintaining some of the old-school barber atmosphere. He's also outfitted it with a TV and little fridge with a nice selection of drinks. When it comes to hair he's a jack-of-all-trades as he does men, women, and children's hair. I'll be coming to Charles until he retires haha! read more

Charles bring a number of years of salon experience with him to this shop and gave me a cut that was exactly what I needed. He has good prices and is also fun to talk to. It's a nice location with other neat places to shop before or afterwards. I will definitely be headed back. read more

Charles is the best - friendly, does a great job, and fair prices. Highly reccomnend

Add me to the list of people that wish they could give 6 stars. Charles is the best -- the haircuts are always great, it's easy to get a time slot (he's super responsive to email or phone), and the whole time in the shop is not like an appointment but just feels like spending time with a friend. He and Semi make it a great place to hang out. read more

This place is great! Charles has been cutting my hair for years and he recently opened this place. Thy have a nice big screen tv so you can watch a game and most importantly he provides a great mod cut a an affordable price. Also an easy place to bring your kid..lots of rooms and lollipops. read more

Charles rocks. He gives a great haircut, and that's why I followed him when he opened his own place this year. But he's also warm, fun and an all-around great guy... He really knows how to cut hair and does so at a reasonable price. Always I always look forward to a visit with Charles, and I always leave feeling "chevere". read more

You will be treated like a friend here. Charles listens to whomever is in his chair and takes time to get the cut right in this comfortable little salon. We are very happy about this place because our kids refuse to go anywhere else since we met him and... the price is right. read more

Best haircut I've had this side of the bridge and tunnel. The owner/stylist does a great job on men's cuts and he trimmed my eyebrows so I neither look like Andy Rooney or "the Situation". Definitely heading back in when I need another cut. read more

I just had my second haircut with Charles and it was just as good as the first. I've always had trouble trying to figure out what to do with my hair but Charles had some great suggestions without being too pushy or going off and doing whatever he felt like. I'd highly recommend him to anybody and the price is very affordable with a discount for students. read more

Charles does a nice job for me each time...He has also but my daughters hair...Suggest booking ahead of time because he is usually booked and has a hard time fitting in walk ins. read more
