This is the second time I come and they're closed before closing hours. I left work early even called, and the guy on the phone said he closes at 5:30! What sucks more is that 3 more people showed up as I did. Your loss, sucka!

Best barber shop. My boyfriend, my son, and my guy best friend always come here. It's not too far from where we live. Super clean cuts, fades and lineups .. and all for a good price 9$ Lee always takes his time to make sure your hair is exactly how you want it. Super friendly and knows how to handle children. Only place I go to now! I highly recommend to come here especially if you're looking for that in style fresh cut/fades.

You need a fade or taper then come here. They know what they are doing! And they have a good price of $10 cuts!

I've now been getting my haircut by Lee for a year and a half. I moved to Del Mar and I drive to Vista because Lee is exceptional. Each time he gives me the perfect fade. You must go Wed, Thu, Fri and ask for Lee (don't use anyone else). He is more than just a barber; he is an artist. He is very focused and pays great attention to detail. I never feel rushed and always leave with a GREAT haircut. His prices cannot be beat anywhere. Ask for the Hollywood Haircut. read more

I asked for a high skin fade with a hard line and the barber did an amazing job! He was very thorough and precise. I also appreciated his friendly service and our conversation. He has a huge clientele, so expect a wait. I had 3 people ahead of me and waited about an hour. In addition, the prices were a little unclear. For fades with lines, it said "$20 and up" and I paid $25 (not including tip). It's also cash only read more

So it's an actual nice small place. What threw me off was... it's not a young fresh dope place as people stayed. It's a cool classic barber shop that does fade. I mention this because I was looking for that younger fresh with drinks, music place. I still liked it and my fade was good. read more

I was a regular of this barbershop however the new put your name on a list method that he has does NOT work at all & causes nothing but confusion & people cutting in front of you. What's the point of putting your name on a list if it isn't going to work? I waited for 2 1/2 hours yesterday & I put my name down and all that time waiting my name still stayed at the bottom meanwhile people who were ahead of me brought extra people to cut their hair and instead of the barber telling them there is people waiting he proceeded to take them ahead of everyone else already waiting. read more

Five stars isn't enough for this place. I came here after seeing the same barber for years, so I was naturally skeptical. I sat down, told him what I wanted, chatted it up or few minutes, and before I knew it, he was done. I was blown away to see how good my hair looked, and I'm very picky. I will never go anywhere else. And the prices are unbeatable! You can stop the search for a barber and come here. He's here Wednesdays through Fridays. read more

This is probably the best barbershop for your buck in Vista. I have been coming here for years. There are two barbers, one that works Saturday-Tuesday and the other works Wednesday-Friday. In my opinion Lee, the Wednesday-Friday barber, is the more skillful out of the two. He pays attention to detail and his fades are exceptional. The weekend barber is also good, but if you are specific about your hair you would want to see Lee. Can't think of why anyone would have something negative to say about this shop. 5 stars all the way. read more

Then he started yelling about being in a gang... sir, you're outside a hair shop in broad daylight, not in a movie. It was honestly embarrassing to watch and incredibly uncomfortable for everyone around. No haircut is worth dealing with that kind of behavior. We turned right around. And based on how the owner responds to reviews, I'm sure he'll have something disrespectful to say here too, which will just prove the point. Disclaimer- i actually called the shop (the individual seemed unhinged! No way I was going in there) to report this and I was told it was the owner who I saw acting a fool. lol
