    Line up was bad and it looks like he attempted a blend but just looks sloppy.
    John V.

    I had one appointment time and will not be coming back nor do I recommend new clients coming here. The place does look pretty sketch and I ended up parking at the plaza across the street. I arrived five minutes early to my appointment time and ended up waiting 30 minutes, which is reasonable. And I understand it's only one barber (the owner). He talks a pretty big game and boasts himself a lot of the times. So I thought he cuts pretty well and also based it on his 4.5 star reviews at this time. He literally would take pauses to talk about himself and about certain customers would be mad appointment times and how they would curse at him. These were not good signs. I explained to him about having half on the side with a high fade and medium blend. He ended up just using number two on the sides and back (no blending and no fading). The line up was not aligned at all. He trimmed the top and he styled it to cover it up and make it look good. He seemed a bit in a rush and he kept talking to the client that was up next. The cut was bad and the overall experience was not good. I'd say save your money he charges a lot for a 30 minute haircut. On the site it says $39.99 but inside the shop says $49.99 for an adult haircut. I get haircuts in the Bay Area for the same price and they spend about an hour on you and detailing your fade and line up. This guy just wants your money, he explicitly talks about money all the time.

    My son had a barber in Chicago that he loved. Went there for years and was sure he would never find a barber like that.... Until we came here. He now has a customer for life.

    What I wanted but I didn't get.

    Negative stars or you'll regret it. I ask for specific cut and he gave me something else. He said my hair is too thin so he cutting it down more to blend it. It's way off. One side is longer than the other side of my head. I wouldn't want to go to this joint again. Maybe try doing what the customer wants before deciding on your own. Cool dude but horrible haircuts. I had to retouch my beard after he trim it off uneven. I had save my hair for over 2 years and my beard for over a couples month. I ask to trim the beard evenly but that didn't go well also. Probably best to listen to what the customer wants and stop cutting it the way you wanted cause I'm stuck with this haircut until it grows back. Like dude, I just wasted 58 bucks for a haircut I didn't want.

    I added burgundy. it's just a wash out.  Mr. Kendall, did a great job. I love it.

    Mr. Kendall, did a great job!!! I will go back to see him or should I say I am!! I messed up & cut my own hair and did a bad job, but Mr. Kendall, put my hair back together

    What my original barbershop did

    This place is a SUPER scam ! Dude comes off super cool and respectable but his haircuts TRASHHHHHH! Please dont go here and if you do please don't let him line you up your better off doing it yourself ! I texted him and asked what was up with the cut after realizing how off it was and he said " I didn't do that , that's all you " was the farthest thing from professional I ever heard ! AND THEN BLOCKED MY NUMBER i cannot make this up .. I am too embarrassed to go ANYWHWERE now ! I even posted pics of what my haircut usually looks like like versus what he did ! Now can any else agree that it's my fault ? Get your skills up and stop blaming customers ! If you want a great cut go to SKILLS on Florin not fade masters they are the farrrrrrrrthest thing from masters !

    Yoooooo! Ant Hooked Me UP!! I was bummed I wasn't able to get my haircut before I left to go out of town and I knew coming to Cali these cuts were going to be hella expensive to what I'm used to paying. However, I must say, for this particular cut it was well worth it. I looked up some barbershops on Yelp and I came across this location, it was close to my hotel and I liked some of the pictures I saw on it and they had the styles I wanted! I read some of the reviews about the rudeness blah blah, but at the end of the day I know exactly what I wanted and all I needed was for that to be executed. Just show up with what I need and the cash. That's all. Upon arrival I walked in and and no one was there yet, the atmosphere was little off and Anthony's energy was a little difficult to catch. Once I sat in his chair and started chit chatting with them I finally felt what it was. I think its just he's a no take B.S type of person and being a woman sometimes men are a little more reserved not knowing what they're getting into cutting their hair and appropriate conversations and I felt that, however with me nothing's inappropriate hahahaha There was a mother gentleman that came in too and we all started talking and the energy in the room felt so warming and good.. The "barbershop feel" He started cutting and doing his magic, next thing I know, he put up and the mirror and BOOM I was ready to Date myself all over again!! Thank you Ant for giving me one Bomb A$$ Haircut!! I'll most definitely be back if I'm ever in Sac Town.. we got more to talk about! P.S. IT'S CASH ONLY PEOPLE.. NO CASHAPP, VENMO, PAYPAL, ZELLE, BLAH BLAH BLAH.. GOOD OLE FASHION CA$H.

    Nothing like a fresh cut from Fade Masters
    Aracely S.

    Anthony the barber is the best for a reason! This was my first time actually going to a barber for a cut because I was looking for a nice fade/cut which turned out to be a great experience. He's very knowledgeable,friendly & professional. I left his chair feeling confident asf! I would definitely recommend him to everyone looking for excellent service & barber skills. I really liked that he is familiar with different types of hair texture which explains the diversity in clients.I appreciate the personable experience & finding a barber that can get anyone lookin right!

    Anthony is a beast. I moved here from AZ and was desperate to look for a barber. During a pandemic it's definitely difficult. Yet Anthony at Fade masters was open by appointment only and open Saturdays and made it easy to go in and get cleaned up. Masks are mandatory btw. Yet if your looking for quality and great environment check out Fade Masters! Bring your Lady, his wife offers nail services as well. Great people. Thanks again for hooking it up Fade Masters!

    This isn't the best angle but he faded out the sides, the back, and lined it up. Love it.

Aly has made several suggestions to my cut that I've adapted, which I really appreciate about her. In terms of vibe, it's a pretty standard set up. Bunch of seats. Doesn't lean into the upscale or modern aesthetic, but not that cookie cutter feel by any means. Very eclectic on the inside. Definitely appeals to early 90s kid and to no surprise given that the average barber seems to be in the 30s to early 40s. They always have a throwback movie or show playing, or baseball. This is a great spot for anyone looking. I rec'd Aly, but the general sense is that everyone is elite here.

    I used to live a block away and found this place when it first opened nearly 15 years ago. Since…read moremoving down south, I still make the trip. Booking, canceling, and changing appointments are so easy--all online. The barbers/stylists are quite the mix. Some are permanent fixtures, while others come and go like any business. I recently found a new barber here, HENRY. He is phenomenal. Although I am nearly bald, I get a h/c about every 2 weeks, and I don't mind paying full price, given Henry's superb attention to detail. He makes me feel like I've had a spa day makeover! While other guys just buzzed my head and used a trimmer on the back (stylists can't use a straight razor, I've learned), Henry is an experienced, pro barber. He attends to the littlest of hairs, examining every angle of my head. He attends to my ears, brow, skin (always moisturizes my scalp), and uses a razor to make the neckline stellar. He wraps it up with a light aftershave thing that leaves me feeling refreshed! It's the details that set apart a good haircut from a truly exceptional one. Plus, did I mention what a great guy he is? Having lived abroad, being from the Midwest, and being college-educated, he's a joy to talk to. Suggestions: The place could use a makeover. The once "cool" graphic (kind of wallpaper) flooding the wall is dated, and the bathroom needs a remodel. Nonetheless, JBG remains my go-to. Check it out!

    Why I Stick With Mark at Jimmy's?…read more Jimmy's Barber Garage in Midtown has been my go-to spot for haircuts since I first moved to Sacramento. My guy is Mark, and honestly, he's the reason I keep coming back. I wandered off to try another place for a while, but ended up returning here for a good reason--he just gets it. The vibe is casual, the price is right, and the service is solid. Mark is especially great for guys like me with thinning hair--he knows how to work with it, makes you feel comfortable, and always leaves me walking out more confident than I walked in. Now, the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5: the booking system. They only open up appointments 3 days ahead. For someone who likes to plan in advance (or suddenly needs a quick cleanup before an event), it can be tricky--especially since I only want to book with Mark. Sure, if you don't mind who cuts your hair, you can usually get in quick because there are multiple barbers available. But for me, it's Mark or nothing. One cool touch: they'll offer you a beer if you ask. The place itself looks like an auto garage, but don't be fooled--the service is way sharper than the décor suggests. If you're looking for a solid cut, especially if you want someone who knows how to handle thinning hair, ask for Mark. Closing Note: Midtown has plenty of barbershops, but Jimmy's (and especially Mark) makes it worth the return trip every time. #HaircutDoneRight #Jimmy'sGarage
