Booked with CJ. 5/5 would highly recommend. Solid shop, he crushed my description of the cut and took the time to make it even better. Super easy to book. Will be back next time I'm in town. read more

WORST HAIRCUT EXPERIENCE EVER I had an appointment with Maria, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst experiences I've had at a barbershop. I came in with a clear idea of what I wanted, but she either didn't understand me or simply didn't listen. The haircut ended up nothing like what I asked for -- uneven, rushed, and just overall sloppy. When I tried to politely point it out, she seemed more distracted by her own reflection than actually fixing the problem. It felt like she was more focused on showing off her overly filled lips -- than doing her job. Look, I'm here to get a professional haircut. If you care about your hair and want someone who actually listens and delivers, I'd recommend going somewhere else.. read more

CJ is hands down one of the best barbers I've ever had. Every time I sit in his chair, I know I'm walking out wet AF and feeling confident. He's consistent, detail-oriented, and takes real pride in his craft. What really sets CJ apart is his professionalism. I used to go to barbers who had no set schedule, canceled last minute, or would bump me or others from the chair even when I had an appointment. On top of that, more than one barber pushed my hairline way too high around the parietal ridge which threw off my whole look and took forever to grow back. CJ doesn't play those games. He respects your time, keeps a reliable schedule, and listens to exactly what you want. He understands how to keep a clean, natural hairline and delivers every time. The vibe is always chill, the cut is always clean, and the experience is always on point. If you're looking for a barber you can trust with both your time and your fade, tap in with CJ read more

This is a review for Niqeel, Today I was threaten with bodily harm by Niquel after complaining that I had an appointment for 11am in which he was 45 minutes late. This was the 2nd week in which he was late and after I mentioned this to him he threatened me with bodily harm. Do not request service from this barber!! read more

It's very hard to come by a shop that actually can cut. All the barbers were really great. Yet TY was the one outside the door welcoming and decent price surprisingly excellent hair cutting g skills for kids. I have to go back and get my pen hair and beard done, but lack of time, I couldn't. Anyway, for kids, I definitely suggest Ty with excellent fading and comeover skills, or for some reason, I can't add pics but here is his instagram if it's accurate Bustdownblendz read more

MARIA, cut my hair on a last minute walk- in, and I couldn't have been happier with this 30 minute cut. She been cutting for five years and it shows! read more

Highly recommend. A bit of a wait but great cut. Call a head of time to check availability.

One of the best haircuts I've had in years! Staff are amazing and helpful. Highly recommended.

I've been coming to faded lines for a few years now. What impresses me most is the professionalism of all the barbers. I've had the pleasure of getting taken care of by Erik, Maria, and Alfredo. They all take their time and are great at what they do. The atmosphere and environment of the shop is like no other, you'll find out for yourself when you come. I've recommended this place to family and friends. read more

My first time at this barbershop, it was a great experience. My new barber CJ, was great! Asked a few questions about what I wanted and he delivered. I do recommend the shop and recommend CJ. read more

I will never try to buzz my own hair (outside of quarantine anyway) again. It's embarrassing to say how much I've spent on great cuts but not done the proper upkeep in between. Maria is thorough, detail oriented and super sweet. All the thumbs up read more

I have been a client of Erik's since before he opened up his Berkeley establishment and if there is one word I would use to describe his work is... CRAFTSMANSHIP! This man is an artist in the flesh and I never leave disappointed! The shop is in a great location with lots of free parking in the neighborhood! They play great music if you're waiting and usually play some type of sports on the big screen. Erik is my guy. Final Note: He's the best in the biz and cuts all types of hair but he's also a busy man, so walk-ins are more than welcome, but the best way to get a cut is to book an appointment through his Instagram @estayfaded read more

Faded Lines Barbershop - My cut from earlier today. My cuts always look fresh for at least 2 weeks! - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Berkeley, California

Service and quality are the best around in all of Berkeley and the Bay Area. I have been with Eric more the 7 years and never had a bad hair cut. The vibe is always a good one, definitely barbers you will like to come back to! Make sure your book your appointment though, best way to know you will have a spot. read more

Was in town for a business meeting and needed a mandatory hair cut to look as professional as I could. I walked into Faded Lines Barbershop and I must say from the minute you walk in you are greeted with generosity, Erik I believe the owners name is, said he was very busy and they usually work off appointments but that he would definitely squeeze me in just in time to make my meeting. Further say this establishment is one like no other, AMAZING. All barbers are so friendly, Erik is amazing, hair cut skills literally left me speechless as I have been to many other barbershops and this one easily is the best. I highly recommend. If you're looking into a new barbershop, DEFINITELY give this one a shot, highly doubt you will be disappointed. Faded Lines Barbershop ROCKS! If I am in the area again I will definitely stop by! P.S hopefully I need a hair cut when I return! read more

Great place for hair cut. It's a place where the barber take their time with the client needs. I took my son to this place. When you come in you enter by announcing your self and barber ask you what your barber name(Ruben)I told him he said okay have a seat I will be with you shortly I'm just finish this other client. So when the barber was finished with the other client.The barber had step away for a few minutes. When the barber returns he asked what would like I told him a basic haircut. So the barber took his time with my son hair needs. So anyone looking a great place I highly recommend this Place. read more

Faded Lines Barbershop - ANTHONY IS A COOL AS DUDE!!! 10/10 customer service and very friendly!!! 100% would recommended - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Berkeley, California

Today was my first trip to a barber since the stay-at-home orders were issued for COVID-19 and my first visit to a barber since moving to the Bay Area. Erik made me feel welcome and at home. He is very professional, offered some good conversation, and gave me a great haircut that was exactly what I asked for. I think I've found my barbershop. read more

Yikes - rude, disinterested barbers, smell like tobacco. Can't recommend this place, just low rent.

I brought my son here for a haircut (the sign says walk ins welcome), and was outside just before 9am... we waited until 9:30 when a barber finally arrived.... and said he had an appt but someone else would come in about 45 minutes... he suggested we go to his friend's shop on University Avenue... we drove there and someone outside said although the sign says 9:30, they changed it to 10! They open when they feel like it and I guess walk-ins not really welcome . read more

Been going to CJ for a cut and beard trim every 6-8 weeks or so for almost two years now, and he always does a stellar job. The rest of the crew is also always busy and working on awesome looking cuts, so highly recommend these guys! Definitely call or text them to schedule an appointment ahead of time, though. read more

Update: Went in for my second cut (I called and made an apt this time) and Alfredo helped me. Not gunna lie but probably the best cut I've ever had. Alfredo not only listed to what I wanted but took it to the next 2nd or 3rd level. Previous: I was a walk-in and was was greeted warmly and was delighted to find that a chair was available and was taken right away. Shane helped me and did an awesome job! Shane listened to what I wanted and executed it very well. The atmosphere of the shop was very calm and friendly with clients coming in and greeting all of the barbers. Parking is a little bit of a strain but now knowing how great the shop is will either walk from home or park a couple blocks away. read more

They fit my mom in for a much-needed haircut appt yesterday. It was a treat after 6 months of Covid! She wasn't feeling like herself due to her unusually long hair and I wanted to find a place near her apartment that she can afford for regular short haircuts. It took a while because they are perfectionists! Look how good she looks and feels now. Thanks Alfredo and team. read more

Came to this shop for the first time since they opened at the new years, and have to say i love it. chill vibes great conversation, and most importantly fresh cuts at a great price. i've been going to E now for a few years and i'm always impressed with consistent he has been. Also super flexible! Only con? he's so good that he's often booked ahead of time. i'm pretty sure they also do walk ins but better safe than sorry this new shop is a quick 51b ride from uc berkeley/downtown berkeley bart and it's definitely worth it. will be here again. read more

It was my first time here and Fredo gave me one of the best cuts I've had in a long time. I will definitely be a return customer!

Fredo gave me the most detailed cut I've had in years. He spent more time on the fade and taper than a lot of people have spent on the whole cut. I'll definitely be back. read more

I made an appointment with a hair emergency, I didn't get the gals name but I got the best trim I've had in years and she managed to unfuck my previous cut. Highly recommend!! read more

I was referred to this barbershop a few months ago by a coworker. I bring my son in to see Ruben. Ruben is very detailed, he is clean and his work is really good! His cuts are so prestige! My son is mixed and I've had a lot of barbers mess up his hair in the past, but not Ruben. He takes his time, and his blending technique is really good! So far I've been pretty happy with every haircut and so has my son. Also some feed back my son gave me is that Ruben is pretty gentle and his tools don't nip him. The shop itself has a pretty chill vibe! They're always busy, but as soon as you walk in you're being greeted by the barbers. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is considering switching barbers. Even as I sit here and look at the work of the other barbers they have talent! read more

I booked an appointment with Fredo and he exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend getting haircut with these guys. I look forward to returning! read more

Walked in needing a haircut that day. They told me they had an opening in about an hour, so I ran some other errands and came back at that time. Fredo gave me the haircut I wanted (high bald fade with a trim on top), but he also kicked it up a notch since he said he's his harshest critic. It was all to my benefit, and I loved his work. Would totally recommend. read more

I had an early appointment with Barber Cj and he contacted me 30 minutes before the appointment and canceled. I would NOT recommend going to CJ as he cancels your appointment at the last minute. He is known to do this. Go to a different barber!!! read more

Never again he didn't know what the fuck he was doing!!! Even after I showed him the photo of the cut I wanted! He lied and said he knew how and didn't know shit!!! I am so disgusted with my cut!! read more

They might be very good in giving haircuts but sadly I didn't get to experience their service. I walked in today and the place smelled beer and pot so badly that I couldn't sit in there. I'm talking smelling worse than the smelliest dive bar. Not good. Update: The day after my review I get a message on Yelp by the proprietor saying a bunch of BS ("we don't discriminate on our customers" - you maybe need to go back to school. Discrimination would be to not let people in because of an aspect of who they are. What you need is rules about what actually takes place in your business, in this case making sure it doesn't smell like the worst dive bar. // "you didn't have an appointment" LIE. I had asked twice via Yelp with no response and finally got an appointment via the phone for 4PM. When I asked if you need my name you said just to come and say I have a 4PM. Also, two days later, I get a message by a new Yelp account calling me names. This place operates with ghetto rules, avoid. read more

Alfredo did an amazing job on my hair and MY BEARD. I haven't found a barber in the east bay who can do both well, but that has changed. Great vibes and a clean haircut AND beard service for an affordable price. Will be returning. read more

Great shop, relaxed atmosphere, new interior and very easy to make an appointment. Cut was great and appreciated the time that Eric took to explain different options. Result was better than expected. Will definitely stop by again. read more

Needed a quick cut because of a wedding the next day and looked around. Found this spot and had Alfredo clean me up. He did a great job. Friendly and professional. Check him out and the rest of the team. read more

Got a haircut from Alfredo (I think), and it was the best haircut I've had in a long time.

New barber shop in the area super clean, fresh and friendly. Barbers greeted me as soon as I walked into the door. Very friendly environment. I got a hair cut by Erick gave me exactly what I asked for! Definitely going to book an appointment with him next time. Officially my new barber shop! read more

I feel so bad because I like the guys who were there for long time Fredo and the other guy in the right side! I had my hair done by this new guy who fucking ruined my hair that I was growing for the whole past year now its all ruined because of this guy. He was so rude and unprofessional, kept telling me "Bro you're hair is so damn curly" and said it like 4 times to the point I was gonna tell him why is that my hair is bothering you! Can you do your haircut and shut the fuck up? He messed up my hair with a side shorter than the other. He was in hurry and finished my haircut in less than 15 min for which I paid 45$ since I tipped him for his horrible job (I did not see the disaster he dis yet because he never let u face the mirror when he's cutting your hair which is a red flag and a sign of an unsecured barber! I asked for a fade he did not even listen to what I said. No communication whatsoever! I'm so depressed now because he ruined my hair and did not know how to cut it!!!! I was supposed to have a shave but when I saw the horrible experience I just had to get my ass out of there! This is enough to file a lawsuit against him for ruining my hair! read more
