    Cosmo's is an institution in Pleasanton! It's a bit off the beaten path in a small stripmall about a mile South and East of Main St. Downtown. A good friend of mine told me about it. According to their website, they've been in business since 1974! That's a very long time. I have no idea how long the current operator has owned this business. He employs an all women crew to staff the 15 chairs. They are a really varied crew - mostly Asians from Vietnam, Chinese, Korean, Thai and a few fro the U.S. They're easy enough to identify - a black lady and a blonde lady. And they also vary considerably in ages. There is one male in the whole operation. He's at the first chair and seems to be incharge so I assume that he is the owner. My wife has been cutting my hair throughout our 63 -years of marriage. Unfortunately, she is in the end stages of Colon Cancer. So finding a decent barber is all new to me. The price listed on their website, https://cosmosbarbershop.com/about.php, indicate $12 for men's haircut less $2 for Seniors. Their hours of operation are: 7 days week Mon-Fri 8 AM - 7:30 PM, Sat & Sun 8 AM - 7:30 PM. My friend is happy with them for a good number of years and his grown son goes there as well. So I decide to give them a try. The shop was busy with about 3/4 of the chairs in use. I sit and wait my turn. They don't use a 'take a number' system to determine who is next. The fellow in the front keeps track of the order in which customers come in. When my turn comes up, I am directed to a newly vacated chair near the rear of the shop. I tell her that I want a short haircut all over but not a "Flat Top." She asks me if I want the hair on the back of my neck 'blended' instead of a straight razor cut. She begins to cut and we have a nice chat. Her name is "Sunny"and she is from Korea. She went to Barber School over 8 years ago when she first entered the U.S. It didn't take long. I didn't time her but it seemed like just 10 minutes from start to finish. Bottom line - it was quick, trouble-free and we had a nice chat! Oh yeah, the finished haircut was fine! I'll be going back!

    home after my complete haircut and shave, mustache gone, too. I love it

    I love Cosmo's barber Shop. never have to wait and all the barbers are well qualified. They are very likeable, and make getting a shave or haircut such a treat to have done. The aftershave spritz is the best fragrance since mom's fried chicken on a Sunday evening. I take my son there whenever he wants. Oh, and the prices are unbeatable.

    nice and tight

    We love coming here they are always available and fast getting the haircuts done. It's a very down to earth space and clearly the owner loves sports. ‍ Most reasonable on price cuts are only $15.

    First time visit had an outstanding experience and amazing outcome. My mother's hair got severely tangled; I was asking around for someone who could tackle the problem and I was referred to Sunny. I texted Sunny with pictures, she quickly replied that she could do it and provided the price. Sunny is exactly like her name, warm, friendly, and positive energy. She treated my mother with gentle care and grace while she CONFIDENTLY and SKILLFULLY worked her magic on her hair. I thought my mother's hair situation would be impossible to address but the result came out better than we expected. Sunny is an angel and a MIRACLE WORKER. Sunny really knows her craft. Beyond grateful for her talented skills and kindness. Definitely coming back to see Sunny.

    I asked for a regular fade, no guard ending at a 1 and this was the final product.

    Depends on barbershop and who you talk to. Cosmo gives higher proces when you call as opposed to someone else.

    Pleasanton Barber Shop is a mile down and much cleaner with similar pricing. Don't go to Cosmos.

    Jack has been my go to for 2 years now. My hair can be tricky to work with, but he understands it…read morewell to cut it as I desire. The price is also reasonable for men's hair cut.

    This place is cash and appointment only. I've been here twice now and I first found it because my…read morebrother recommended it. In order to set up appointment you just need to call and find out when Rob or the other person in the barbershop is available. The place itself has an old-school feel to it in the best way possible. It's located towards the edge of the main downtown Pleasanton strip. Parking was easy both times. I really like this place because Rob truly understands your hair. Like the nuances of my hair and how my hair was going to stick up at a certain length or how my hair at different parts of my head would look with certain type of cuts, etc. He walked me through the options. He has a great attention to detail which I really like. He also he's really friendly and easy to work with. The whole experience was great for me. I don't think I have complex hair, but you would be surprised at how many places I feel don't really get my head, haha. As a matter of fact, my profile picture with my niece at Disneyland was right after I got a haircut from Rob. I think the first time I came here I took over my brother's appointment and the second time I was going to be in town so I called and made an appointment for myself. It's pretty easy as long as he has availability. The only tough part is how long I'm gonna be in town and then I have to plan for that lol. I highly recommend.
