Marisa did a fantastic job and is great to chat with. Had both a hair cut beard trim. I highly recommend her services !!

I took my teenage kid here after a local friend recommended the place. Daniel did an amazing job on my kids thick hair. He listened to what he wanted and gave him an excellent cut. Really took his time and made him feel comfortable. read more

Marisa is the best in the bay area! If you need a cut run, don't walk to Cuts 1st Class.

You're rolling the dice when you're looking for a new barber at the last minute on the last weekday before a major holiday weekend. Boxcars! Cuts 1st Class. Pt. Richmond can have a bit of a Mayberry RFD vibe, so you might expect just one barbershop run by a guy named Floyd. Snap out of it! There are at least three barbershops in Pt Richmond and I know because I walked to all three and only Cuts 1st Class had more than one barber on duty and was ready for me as a walk-in. Request: Shave my head and trim this beard and moustache into a sharp look. Answer: Marisa to the rescue. She told me she had trained with one of the oldest, best-established barbers in the area. Everyone knows him and you book your appt at least a week in advance. I can say now he is also a good mentor. Her skill and vibe were excellent. It can be a little surprising to find a woman cutting hair in a barbershop. She knows what she's doing and there are lots of guys there to talk to from the chair if that's your deal. Marisa knows this area and many others, so you can relax and talk with her about whatever. From the conversations flowing, this is the place to be to know what's going on in the East Bay. read more

I was a bit skeptical looking for a new barbershop in the area that can cut Asian hair. I got lucky finding this place. Thank you Daniel for keeping my fade fresh and clean. I definitely recommend this place and ask for D. read more

Been awhile since I got a haircut because of covid and been awhile since I seen my boy, Johnny ! I used to go to his parents' shop (Tommy's Cut) and I would always prefer him to get my haircuts. Glad to find him again at his new spot, here in Richmond. Clean and relax shop to sit and get a haircut. Though the shop has no parking lot, only street parking, the shop gives a nice and warm welcome. Good to have a nice chat and catch up with him since I haven't seen him in a very long time. Another thing is appointment only which gives you the negotiation of which days best works for you and usually they'll work something out. But overall, definitely impressed with the haircuts he has given me and will be a replacement since my twin(moved out of state) was his regular! Thanks again Johnny & Cuts 1st Class ! read more

I called Daniel and asked if he had any appointments the next day and he fit me in. It was just a beard trim but it was done nicely (without a lot of direction on my part). Everyone was super friendly and was a good vibe. Would recommend. read more

Johnny you are amazing, such a fantastic artist (the style on Lucas' hair is PERFECT!) and you constantly accommodate our hectic schedules! You have been a blessing for over 9+ years! We can't go anywhere else! Love seeing so many loyal customers including kids like my son who followed you from previous location. The shop owner Daniel always keeps his shop clean, 2 TV for the adults/kids to entertain and plenty of treats as well! Thank you Johnny and Daniel! read more

I have been doing my hair in many barbershops for the last ten years, never happy until I found 1st class. I can't recommend this barbershop enough; I think I have found my barbershop for the following years!!! read more

Great experience at this barber. We took my 2 year old son for his first haircut and Daniel was great with him. He made my son feel comfortable and gave him a fresh fade. We'll be back for his next haircut. read more

After living in Point Richmond for 9 years I was never able to get service from this place, even if only one customer was getting cut. Sorry you need an appointment. read more

Don't go anywhere else, this is hands down the best barbershop in the Bay Area. Both Daniel (owner) and Johnny (barber) have 15-20+ years of experience cutting hair and they can cut any type of hair in any style you want. They are hella cool dudes too, always having fun with their clients and keep an OG barbershop vibe. If you want to experience a real life version of LeBron's HBO show "The Shop" with guys that can actually cut hair then go to Cuts 1st Class. It's $30 for a mens cut but for the quality you get, that price is a BARGAIN!! I've paid $50+ at other places and came out with my hair looking like shit. Not here though, Johnny always has me looking fresh af after each cut. I won't go anywhere else and won't let anyone else cut my hair as long as these guys are in the Bay. Make sure you book your appointment a couple weeks in advance. They are super popular and hella busy! Johnny also offers after-hours appointments for $40+ if you need an emergency cut or if you need to schedule a last-minute appointment. He's a super nice dude and will try to work you into his schedule if he can. I needed a cut badly before going to Vegas a couple months ago but forgot to schedule an appointment with him. He was able to squeeze me in the night before my trip due to a cancellation! Well worth the $40+$10tip. read more

I went here based on the reviews and the fact that one of the features listed on their yelp page is "walk-ins welcome" (see photo). I drove over and arrived at 7:30am on a Saturday as a walk-in and was the only customer there. Unfortunately, I was turned away and was told they don't do walk-ins. Johnny was very friendly, however, and offered to call me if one of his appointments cancelled. Despite his friendliness, it doesn't change the fact that my time was completely wasted due to false advertising. read more

Cuts 1st Class - Information - Barbers Near Me - Richmond, California

I was walking by this place after I'd gotten my hair cut around the corner at the other barber shop in Pt. Richmond. I peeked inside and Johnny (I later learned his name) spoke to me and told me to come in. I told him I'd just gotten my hair cut. I asked how much cuts were and he said $30. I told him I'd be back next time. I did go back the next time but when I got there, the shop was empty, even though the hours posted indicated they were supposed to be open. So I called Johnny and booked an appointment. I was leaving for a trip and wanted my hair cut before I left, so he squeezed me in during his lunch hour the Saturday before I left. It was a while before I went back again, but I called Johnny and had a hard time hearing him on the phone so we texted. I said I wanted a haircut. I didn't specify day or time. I was flexible. He said he could "squeeze me in" at 7 on Thursday. I arrived for my appointment, he cut my hair and did a pretty good job (I wasn't totally satisfied and made him trim some more on the sides, but he cut more on top than I wanted, and you can't put that back) and then it came time to pay. He said "$40". I was planning to pay cash, but didn't have enough to pay $40 plus tip (I regret giving him a tip). As I handed him my credit card, I said, "I thought it was $30. Did you raise your rates?" He said, "It's after hours, so it's $40." How the F is it after hours when he is the one who gave me the time? I prefer a barber shop that has prices posted and has reliable hours. While it's nice being able to text him to book, I was not happy that he booked me at a time that he knew he was going to charge me extra and didn't tell me up front. It's not about the money for me, it's about the ethics. I don't like dealing with people who are unethical. I'm glad others have had good experiences. I wish I hadn't had this bad one. I won't be back. read more

I started coming here in 2018 after admiring an acquaintance's hair. I'll admit, as a woman, I was a bit reluctant to visit this barbershop because of my past experiences with other places. From the start, I was impressed by the fact I needed to make an appointment, which meant I actually knew when I would hit the chair. At my first appointment Daniel greeted me with a smile and in no time at all I was leaving very satisfied with my undercut. The barbershop shop is clean, appropriately decorated, offers adequate seating for customers, has TVs, places to charge cellphones, and even has a coffee maker. The location is perfect with plenty of parking options near restaurants and shops. Service is warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Both Daniel and Johnny are consummate professionals who show their appreciation to every customer. Unfortunately, I only make it here about every 2-3 weeks because I live about 40 miles away. However, every mile I travel is worth it when I sit it Daniel's chair. read more

I went in during an afternoon and met Johnny. He told me they were booked for the day but gave me his number to make an appt. I texted him later that day to ask about available times later in the week. He offered me to come in a little later that same day. He squeezed me in after his last customer. I live around the corner so it was perfect. He took his time on my haircut and was incredibly accommodating. I've only been here once but I already love this shop. They also have appt booking online. I've been struggling to find a barber since I moved several months ago. Ive been to three shops. One was over priced and didn't take appts. The other gave me a haircut I didn't ask for and clippers felt like lawn mower. I'm glad I found this spot. Johnny is great. read more

I just became very familiar with this spot. Apparently the gentleman that cuts my hair has moved here and is now cutting at this very clean well put together spot. Johnny has been cutting me for years. I will go any where he goes. But this place is awesome. Good move J. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Johnny for a long time, long value client and a friend. He's very dedicated and take pride in his work. Make sure to make an appointment with Johnny prior, at least 2-3 days ahead, Johnny tend to be book through out the week. Even though I live in Oakland, I'd still take the time to make an appointment with him whenever I can. Not only Johnny, the shop owner/barber is also a really cool dude. read more

I been coming to d to get my haircut for at least 10 year. He always got me right The shop is very nice clean. I come all the way from Oakland because it's worth it I'm so happy to see my barber come out the gutter. Big ups D. read more

This shop is chill!!! Nice vibes all around from the Owner/ Barber Daniel!! I've been coming a few times a month since he opened his doors!!! Nice to have a wonderful barber who can address a variety of hair types!!! read more

Such a bomb barber!! I was referred to this shop by a local beautician in the area because my previous barber didn't have any openings, however it ended up being a great move. The shop is really chill, never overcrowded, and most importantly (for me) not an uncomfortable awkward environment for a woman. The online scheduling works really well for me it allows me to book at my leisure and he's never overbooked. Daniel's really respectful and accommodating. Every cut I've gotten has been on point. So until I can decide when I'll be growing my hair back I'll be here. read more

Daniel is a great barber. Though my son had been going to Daniel for many years before he moved to Houston a few years ago, I only recently met him. After deciding to stop wearing my hair permed I went natural. Daniel has been cutting my hair for several months now and he has been wonderful. I love the location in Point Richmond, and though I was a little nervous at first about going to a barbershop as a female the atmosphere read more

Johnny my guy when it comes to my haircuts. With my hectic work schedule, he'd make time for me when possible which would be at night after work. He's not a quick'n cut kind of guy, he's that one that would truly make you look at your best by taking his time giving what you want. My tip to you would be to tip this guy for quality cuts. My drive may be 15-20mins. away but I don't mind for the results I get from him. read more

This was my first trip to Cuts first class I have never met Daniel and didn't know what to expect it's a cool barber shop in Point Richmond California couple of TV screens with some basketball going I met Daniel Webster and we had a great conversation while he cut my hair at the end I can truly say it was one of the best haircuts I've ever had and I'll definitely be going back the price was very fair for the quality of cut and customer service read more

Daniel is easily the barber I've ever been to. He is absolutely meticulous and pays attention to details that most other barbers just don't notice. He's also the only barber I've ever had that remembered the style I get the first time without me having to say anything. Appointments are FREE which is great since you don't have to wait around through 5 other haircuts waiting for your turn. All in all a great experience and I will never get my haircut anywhere else. read more

Got a really great cut from Ana this morning...great shop and really great barber

Go to Johnny to get your next haircut. You won't be disappointed!! Johnny is super friendly and he takes the time to make sure all his customers leave his chair happy. Book your appointment in advanced because he can't always take you on the spot especially on Friday or Saturday. read more

If you want a nice, and clean hair cut, this is the place to come. I've know Johnny the barber for many years, and he's the only one that I trust when it comes to my haircut. Daniel the owner of the shop, is by far one of the nicest, and respectful barbers I've know so far. I really recommend this barbershop, one thing though, MAKE SURE TO CALL, AND MAKE YOUR RESERVATION. They also have a website where you can make your reservations online. They popular in the area, so you should know they get really busy. Like I said, MAKE YOUR RESERVATION. read more
