Awesome place to get your haircut. Plus it's a local business not some big corp company. The vibe is always fun and everyone there cares about what they do. Cesar and his team are great people. read more

Defined Cuts is a clean, professional, and reasonably priced barber shop in the heart of Hillcrest. The staff here are always welcoming. My son has been going to Jason for a couple of years now. Not only does his cut come out perfect every time, Jason is able to keep up with the ever changing requests of a ten year old soccer player. The service is efficient, yet detailed and precise. Tip: I do recommend booking in advance as they tend to get pretty busy. read more

Ok I have been going to Cesar who owns the place for almost a year now. He was recommended by a close friend who swears by him. And she is right! He does incredible work and is extremely detail oriented. I always get complements on my hair thanks to Cesar. I also have to give a shout out to Jason who filled in for Cesar one time. Also an incredible barber! He gave me a great great cut/style too! This place has a very friendly and professional vibe. You cant go wrong here. It's an awesome shop! read more

Been here twice and happy to have Jason cut my hair regularly. Nice job, attention to detail and highly recommend.

Finally had the opportunity to reconnect with my brother the one and only "Razor" Rene! I've had different barbers between now and the last time I've seen him a few years ago. But no one's fade could ever compare. He's an absolute artist! Thank you Rene! See you soon! read more

We are so excited that Defined Cuts has finally opened. We have been seeing Hector at his previous location for a long time and WE LOVE HIM! We've been able to follow the entire process of them getting the place, the amazing job done to turn the space into this slick, modern yet cozy environment ... and now we can walk to get our haircuts. What else can you ask for? My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Defined Cuts and, of course, our fave barber Hector read more

Loved getting my first professional haircut in 18 months by fully vaccinated barber Cesar. (I wore a mask due to my own health issues.). Sharp new shop, right next to The Deli Llama. It was spotlessly clean with sun coming in the big windows and AC on. Smelled good! And Caesar was on-time and on-point, taking a T-blade, scissors, & product to my newly-crisp Mohawk. Loved the brisk aftershave. Also, his other stylist can do ladies' hair and color. Perfect experience. read more

Really laid back small barber shop in the heart of Hillcrest, I went there and got a haircut from Rene. He is always professional and knows how to cut my hair and always gives me the look that i'm looking for. He can do any style on different hair types, will be returning again soon. read more

Great new spot in Hillcrest for a haircut! Very friendly and the best haircut I've had in a while.

Razor Rene does a great fade and cut. I highly recommend coming here to see him. The shop decor is nice and everyone is very friendly.

Came to see the homie Razor Rene at his new spot! I'm glad I did because this spot has an awesome vibe, and I left with the best haircut I've had in months. Thanks Rene! read more

HECTOR always takes care of me! A very clean shop and impeccable vibe from the moment you walk in to the minute when they hand you the mirror to look at the finish product! They make you feel like royalty and who doesn't like that, am I right? Highly recommend going to Hector, but I'm sure all of them do a great job too in case my boy is busy! Go check them out, they won't disappoint! read more

This looks like a barber shop from the outside, but the most incredible stylist inside also does woman's hair! Hector has helped take my really long and plain hair and turned it into really long and fun hair! He doesn't over-cut, and listens to everything I am looking for. Been going to him for over a year, And because I am going grey now, he's helping me transition gracefully into this new chapter w my hair. 100% recommend! read more

I've been going to Defined Cuts for a while now. The shop is located in Hillcrest with LGBTQIA+ welcome decals in the window so you would think they would be LGBTQIA+ welcoming and friendly. However, I was completely turned off by employee discussions centered around the LGBTQIA+ community. The first incident was bashing Drag Queens. I won't get into details but suffice it to say it was completely inappropriate. I was not going to return but thought maybe it was just a one-off and gave it a second chance...WELL, during my next visit, an employee walked in saying that, "it was just announced that Gonzo (the Muppet) was Trans and how fucked up it was. He said Gonzo is a fuc*ing TRANNY, isn't that a bunch of bull sh*t". The clients sat in their chairs and said nothing. You could feel the tension in the shop - how uncomfortable. I find it disturbing for a business in Hillcrest displaying the LGBTQIA+ Ally, Progress and Trans flag decals in the window but has employee(s) spouting anti-LGBTQIA+ discourse. What a quick way to ruin a perfectly good business. Sadly to say, I will not return. Hopefully the owner will take corrective action. read more

Great atmosphere and vibe. Bobby the Barber is a true pro. Took his time and cut my hair exactly how I requested.

Jess always gives the fesh cuts, and the new shop is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

I got two good haircuts here, but both times while getting my hair cut, my barber urged me to set an appointment with "the black barber" in their shop since he would be better at cutting my hair. It seemed weird, but I followed his advice and set an appointment. Since then, I've been stood up for more haircuts than I've received. I set an appointment, and show up only to have other embarrassed employees tell me that my barber is not coming in. I get zero notifications, no email, no nothing until I'm literally in a seat waiting to be turned away. This has happened 3 times and two of the occasions were right before events where I needed to look crisp. I'm never going back to get a haircut here and it sucks because they're like 300 feet from my house. On the plus side, they've left me hanging so often I've actually learned to cut my own hair. read more

Dope shop! Expensive look & feel but totally affordable prices. Friendly, hospitable & prompt staff. Jammin tunes, cold AC & soft chairs... my kiddo looks fresh af! Definitely will be back! read more

I.....I......I am in shock. I think this is the worst haircut I have ever had in my entire life. Had a first time appointment with Jason today. He seemed cool at first but I noticed that the entire time I was getting my hair cut he was facing me away from the mirror, so I couldn't see what was going on. I thought I could trust him, but I was wrong. I explained I wanted my sides shaved down and a TRIM off the top and showed him with my fingers how much. I went in with just above shoulder length hair and came out with multiple layers different lengths all around. Like for some reason it's short in the front, long on the sides, and short in the back. I don't even know what he was thinking. He took off SEVERAL INCHES without even asking me! I never would have agreed to that. And for some reason, he shaved off ONE of my side burns and left the other one in a weird shape. I didn't even want him to touch them. I thought he was trimming around them. I didn't even notice until I got home, otherwise I wouldn't have tipped him as much as I did. I honestly can't believe this just happened. I miss my hair so much. This will take MONTHS to grow back. I am, just, so upset and feel like I need to go somewhere else to get it fixed. read more

I get my hair cut weekly. This location is perfect and I'm happy after every cut . Bobby is the best barber!

I was walking by the shop and heard some great music coming from the salon. I decided to check it out and see if they offer services for women. (Looking for a new stylist) I was greeted by the owner and he directed me to a stylist, Hector. The salon/shop was very clean, and has great music/vibe. All the stylist seemed real nice and chatty. Hector gave me great suggestions and provided me with a haircut which I love! I booked again for color services (as suggested). Looking forward to it! read more
