It was really cool that a couple guys opened up to me about health struggles they've had similar to my epilepsy. If you are looking for a new Barber in the San Marcos area, give the owner, Alex, a call and he or one of his guys will hook you up with a fresh look.

Despite the fact that it was nearly closing time and the barber was getting ready to head home for the day, they were kind enough to accommodate me without hesitation. I really appreciated their willingness to help out, especially under the circumstances. Not only did they fit me in, but the barber did an excellent job with the cut--very thorough and professional. I'll definitely be returning for my next haircut!

He didn't even have the courtesy to call and let me know he wouldn't be able to make it or that he changed appt I had to reach out. Unbelievable.

It's very important that they look like their dad. So I brought a photo of my husband and they both ended up with the same haircut as him. LOL. The price is so much less than the cost of MY haircut. So we are good there. The vibe is like your standard neighborhood barbershop. You got the regulars, you got the newbies and you got the families bringing in the boys to get cleaned up and football is playing keeping everyone entertained.

However, my most recent visit resulted in a very disappointing and painful issue. I developed a nasty rash and significant irritation on the back of my neck (as shown in the pictures). This reaction strongly suggests that the razors or clippers were unsanitary and not properly cleaned before being used on me. Hygiene is critical in a barber shop. While I want to continue being a customer, this is a serious lapse in sanitation that needs to be addressed immediately. I will be back, but please, please clean your tools thoroughly! I hope to continue supporting this shop once I know proper disinfection protocols are followed.

Jonathan the Barber and owner has great blending and fading techniques right on par with the cuts I used to get back when I was living in LA. He has great attention to detail and takes his time when you're in his chair and makes me feel right at home. Also at $15 for a great quality taper with a edge up is handout IMHO. It's a bittersweet feeling to write this review because now the secret is gonna be out lol but albeit it's a well deserved one. If you're reading this Jonathan, keep up the good work bro, you're gonna go far!

Recommend: Absolutely and without a doubt! Backstory: Had to visit San Diego for a training convention and found this Barber shop with a few hours in between schedules. I paused at the door thinking there is no way they'll accept a walk in, and, I was wrong. I poked inside and gently asked if they accepted walk-ins and Granger, without missing a beat said, (motioning her finger to me to come in and sit) "Come on in, I can take you right now". Granger immediately presented her name to me, asked me mine, and welcomed me like a family member to her chair. (I have to take a moment and share, the personable, enthusiastic, welcoming attitude is mind boggling and warm to see in a post Covid era. I have rarely had women in this industry work my haircuts, only because that's just been my experiences throughout the military but I certainly don't care WHO cuts my hair, just that they listen, guide and communicate through it!) So, again, I needed a beard trim... In speaking with her, she presented an immediate, well communicated plan on taking my horribly kept beard and how she would transform it. There are two different styles of beard cuts available and I went with the quicker option though I always wanted to try the steamed version, I just didn't have the time. I was beyond impressed at the interaction experienced today in being that her personal skillset, approach and charisma was the charm and reason, you need to visit this Business. If she was a corporate business woman in a Boardroom, she could swoon anyone who lived in the desert to purchase sand. Her personality was fresh, her attention to detail was spot on and I enjoyed the visit and experience - hands down. Granger shared that this shop was a family business in which her father, Andy, purchased 31 years ago. I hope those that read this visit this location as you are mutually welcomed with free coffee, sodas or water, magazines and a wonderful overlay of personal photos and items covering all the walls. The decor accouterments are a wonderful touch and encapsulates a distinct, long time business personality here. I highly, highly, recommend this place not just for the cuts, but the caring, human interaction, comfortably social atmosphere and overall vibe. This place gets it! Thank you Granger; you, are an absolute joy!

We lost touch after I moved a few years ago. I firmly believe in signs! Here's one for you if you are curious about this barbershop. The ambiance is chill and pretty relaxing. They offer beverages while you wait! The gentlemen are all nice, professional and if you catch them in the middle of a banter it can be entertaining haha. I'm so happy to have found this place and got reunited with my previous barber! All of them are talented and they do accept walk ins! Shout out to, Tio who has been so amazing and has provided exceptional service! He's a great listener and triple checks with you about how you want your haircut. Tio is amazing with fades and I always leave feeling nice and fresh. I highly recommend checking out this barbershop!

I can't say enough good things about this barber shop. The level of talent, skill, and kindness…read morehere is unmatched. Every single barber is not only friendly but also dedicated to learning and perfecting their craft. I have three sons and after years of trying countless barber shops and salons, I've never seen the kind of precision and creativity I've found here. They truly understand how to cut with the trends, while still making sure each style fits the person sitting in the chair. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music is great, and the instructors are great Mr Garza and Ms. is so attentive not just to the barbers in training but also to the customers. It really feels like you've been a part of their shop forever from the very first visit. While every barber here is amazing, our go-to is Jasmine. She takes her time, pays attention to every detail, and makes sure my son leaves looking sharp every single time. One of my sons struggled for 12 years to find someone who could get his hair just right, and Jasmine nailed it. He now looks forward to every haircut, knowing he'll walk out looking clean, crisp, and confident. This shop has truly become our home for haircuts, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.Great Job everyone! You are doing amazing!
