This review is long overdue…read more I'm a Bay Area native who has always believed that my hair was not my best feature. From Downtown San Jose to Santa Clara's Koreatown, I have had my hair cut by a variety of stylists across the region at different price points. I'm usually happy for a couple weeks. Then, the appeal starts to fade. I start fussing with my hair in the mirror or in the Zoom window. Miguel has been my barber for over two years, and he is the first one who has given me the confidence that my hair always looks good. I have none of the anxiety of sitting in the chair I typically have, and it's easy 30 minutes of cutting and conversation. Though the sports memorabilia on the walls aren't exactly my vibe, it doesn't matter to me when the haircut is supreme. A big plus is that it's super easy to make an appointment with him through Booksy with a wide selection of time slots. Even as my hairline recedes, I know Miguel will be there to make me look my best.

When my Barbershop in San Mateo shut down due to COVID, a good friend strongly recommended that I…read morereach out to Charlie over at Gent's -- and i'm glad I did! I usually go for a thin hard-part, 2-to-1 fade on the sides and layered fading in the back with pompadour up top styled with product over to the left. Charlie is a fantastic barber, he's skilled at giving a clean cut with great attention to detail for exactly what I'm looking for. The dude's also gotta be one of the most friendly & relatable guys in the business too. Everything at Gent's is clean, classic, spirited, and friendly so I'd I'd say it lives up to its name. I've already started getting questions from my friends on where I get my haircut and I ain't shy about telling em its from Gents.

I made the appointment the night before and paid online and I got there about 30 mins early and he had finished up with his other client early so he started on me. The haircut was amazing and he really got the sense of what I wanted for my hair! He asked me why I needed a win for my hair this time around and I just said I wasn't feeling like the vibe of my current hair reflected who I was and wanted to start it short again he agreed and went to work. I left feeling like a brand new man. This place is super chill!

I've always been able to find parking quickly before my appointment and she must have magic because I can go back to work after a haircut with minimal to zero itching from small hairs post-cut/pre-wash.

Elevate Barber, and particularly Ge***n, managed to turn a simple low taper fade into a…read moresurprisingly complicated experience. I asked for a low taper fade. What I received was... well, apparently a creative interpretation of one. One thing that really stood out was how much the barbers were talking amongst themselves while working. Conversation is obviously fine, but when it starts affecting attention to the haircut, it becomes a problem. Unfortunately, my haircut looked like attention had definitely wandered elsewhere. I went back the very next day to have it fixed. Ger*** initially asked me to wait 20 minutes, which I said was perfectly fine. Then he changed his mind and said one of his teammates would fix it. Then that changed too, and suddenly I was being asked to book another appointment, presumably so I could pay again to fix the haircut I had already paid for. Interesting customer-service model. What bothered me even more than the haircut was the attitude. Mistakes happen. A professional business acknowledges them and tries to make things right. Making the customer jump through hoops to correct your own mistake is a different story. Unfortunately, this was not my first scheduling issue with Ger*** either. On two previous occasions, I had appointments with him that did not work out. The first time, he told me he was stuck somewhere and could not make it, so somebody else handled my haircut. The second time, there was apparently confusion about the location. So after a couple of past scheduling/service issues and now a haircut that needed fixing the very next day, I think I have given Elevate Barber more than a fair chance; Maybe I was expecting too much. Apparently expecting your barber to keep the appointment, give you the haircut you asked for, and fix it when something goes wrong is now the premium package. For me, this place is seriously overrated. I will be taking my hair, and my expectations, elsewhere
