Health circumstances required that I cut my hair off essentially, and I was devastated since it was not my "choice" if that makes sense. I asked my husband to ask his barber for a barber stylist recommendation. Instead, my husband explained to his barber Rondell, what I wanted to achieve and asked if he could help. Before I met Rondell, what I appreciated about his professional integrity is he told my husband what he could and could not do, based on what my husband shared. Rondell's response was enough for me to give it a go; he understood what I wanted. When I arrived for my appointment I was immediately greeted by Rondell (I didn't know it was him..just yet). I was seated and this is the part I loved most..despite talking to my husband Rondell took the time to ask me what my hair goal was, to make sure we were on the same page. He could have certainly proceeded and I wouldn't have questioned since there was a "discussion" about my hair prior to my appointment but when, Rondell demonstrated integrity by asking me directly when he didn't have to. During my service, Rondell shared tips on hair care (based on my situation) and our next steps in terms of getting my hair back to a healthier place. The other barbers were kind and spoke to me as well which was nice. Like hair salons, barbershops are community. Every single person that entered the shop Rondell greeted and shook hands, which speaks to the community nature of the barbershop. I was the only new person during my service; it was clear everyone else that entered were regulars, which is always a good sign. At the end of my service Rondell shared one thing he did (there is a section of my hair I'm self conscious about) and made sure I was happy with how my cut was shaped of which I was absolutely delighted. I received compliments from both friends and strangers on my haircut for days on end. Thank you Rondell, for understanding my hair goals, setting expectations, and providing education on how to care for my hair. read more

No complaints on my first trip to five starr fades...I liked it so much I took my son to get his haircut too. Prices are in line with most barbershops, they do accept walkins but I booked my appointment through StyleSeat for my barber. Rondell was ontime and professional. I was greeted with conversation, laughter, and a great haircut. If I lived in Sacramento, Rondell at five starr would be my go to barber. read more

Best shop & barbers in all of California over a decade of being a customer & great hospitality.

The service I requested was good on the left side of my head, but after reviewing the right sidethe right side does not match the leftKno HateJust being honest!!!! Survive made me nervous a lot of young men testosterone they might've gotten into a little scuff in there I don't know, but my first review? I did not see the end result until the next morning and steel to this date is lopsided, but he helped me out because I cut my own hair and messed it up, but I believe his clippers gave out on the left side. I'm just saying I'm not gonna post itat this time read more

Jamie is a great stylist and does a wonderful job on my grandsons ethnic hair! Best price in town for a great haircut!

My son's barber..The Best (Rashad) hands down! He cuts my oldest son's hair and my brothers as well. He comes highly recommended. Yet, based on the bumb barbers we've endured, I needed to form my own opinion. Either the barber's significant others were insecure or the barber's wanted to cut more than my son's hair. I tip and I'm loyally consistent. Rashad has been nothing but consistent and professional. Characteristics some of his fellow barbers and hairstylist in the community lack. Everyone in the barbershop was professional and clean.. My a son's been going there for more than a year now. I'm definitely pleased with his skills and level of professionalism. read more

Vince and Rondelle absolutely crushed it with the boys' haircuts. So skilled and patient. We definitely found our families barbers from now on. Thanks guys read more

See all

I'm a Brit from London UK I just moved from San Jose to Sacramento. I've been looking for a good barber from the time I got here. Checked out a few barbers in the Sacramento area which were OK and claim to be able to cut black people hair types looool which was a joke to say the least. So let me just make this short and to the point .. Rondell is a true professional,, he took his time and gave me the best fade and line up I've had since I've moved from England to America,, barbers ALWAYS mess up my hairline and go way to far back when lining me up but rondell made my lineup super sharp and natural and I left feeling very satisfied. $25 for a cut and beard trim is decent gave rondell $30 As I felt the hair cut deserved it.. also I felt very comfortable and welcomed at the barbershop, we had good conversation too if you're looking for a haircut in the Sacramento area I would definitely recommend going to this barbershop fantastic team and excellent Barber's 5 stars!!! read more

Five Starr Fades - Barbers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came on a slow weekday morning and I had never been there. Both experienced guys had someone in the chair and the one of them calls a rookie apprentice to cut my hair. I left looking alright, but as my hair grew in it was all messed up. Can't understand why they would call they rookie in when I was the only person in the shop next, maybe they had appointments, but damn...I'm the only one there and if your appointment ain't cut me, get paid, and get your appointment. Not going back. read more

Great cut and awesome conversation from these guys. I've been to a couple barbershops in the area and will be going to five Starr from now on as my cut with them has been the best I've had so far. read more

Worst haircut ever! Barber acted like he knew what he was doing. Would never return here again.

After days of convincing my girlfriend she shouldn't travel all the way to the Bay area I recommend her to this place ! ( more like forced her to go) That was a big mistake ! My girlfriend came home SKIN BALD in the back and her HAIRLINE WAS NOT STRAIGHT OR CRISP! When she SPECIFICALLY asked for a semi-low fade and a CRISP hairline! I'm not sure of the name of the person who cut her hair but I do know that man gave my baby Lil Boosie cut but I know one thing I WILL NEVER SEND ANYONE HERE AGAIN ! No one deserves to waste there hard earned money on a WACK ASS HAIRCUT! (excuse my french)I know this probably seems like I'm bashing them but I'm not I'm just really pissed that I actually really believed this place was legit ! Smh NEVER AGAIN ! THE NAME IS A FRAUD! I wish I could give them ZERO STARS! read more

My haircut was very different than what I asked for, it went from a low taper to high taper cutting my hair on top when I told him from the beginning not to touch the top till the end. Not a fresh line up. read more

Went to Five Star Fades for the first time, and they are truly legit professional barbers. Although I did not have an appointment, they took care of me and the wait was not long. Nice family atmosphere and good conversation. It felt like going to your neighborhood barbershop where you know everyone and everyone knows you, and they treat you like family. My man Rondell did my line and my taper just right!!!. I came out the shop feeling like ahh... yeah, I have have found my new barber shop. I have been to many shops in Sacramento since I moved here in the late 90's, and frankly speaking no one is touching 5 Star Fades. read more

If your going to go to this barber shop make sure you know someone who works there lol. I went to this barber shop with a co-worker to get a client's hair cutt. The owner was leaving when we arrived( the owner gave me the card and told me to stop bye) he walked passed us and no one greeted us when we walked in. We sat for 30mins and decided to asked one of the barbers which after they finished cutting hair and sat down of walked around chatting. these guys said that they had appointments, we told them we would wait for the next availble barber since we came all the way from Rancho Cordova. A hour went bye and we decided to ask another barber who refered us back to the other barbers as he took a walk in that knew him looking over our way and yes he read our faces as we got up and left. Q: why would you invited someone to your shop and not even notice them? read more

Saw Ray for my visit. Did a good job and was pleased wait time wasn't long. Conversation was good as well will definitely go back!

Can't go wrong with these guys! Best barber shop in Sac. Always clean, friendly and professional! Traditional barbershop...great vibes!
