I stopped by this barber shop as a walk-in, thinking I could get a quick haircut since there were two barbers sitting in empty chairs. One of them looked up and told me to "just hang out," so I waited, patiently, assuming it wouldn't be long. After more than 30 minutes of sitting there while they chatted and scrolled on their phones, no one even bothered to check in, give an update, or offer to start my haircut. At that point, I just walked out. I've honestly never been more annoyed with a business that seemed so uninterested in taking my money. It wasn't busy, there was no excuse, just a complete lack of customer service and professionalism. I try to support local barbers, but this experience made it clear that I'll be going somewhere else that actually values new customers. read more

Recommended without any reservations or caveats. Very friendly, very fair prices, and skilled cuts. Cant asak for anything more. I won't go anywhere else. read more

You know I'm always hesitant to try a new haircut places. Hidden gem! Barbers are super chill and Can cut! $25 kids cut $35 adult Will be back (NO signs posted on haircut prices so prices can change but that's what they charged me for regular cut with a fade.) Tip: bring cash! Card prices have a surcharge I believe $3 extra. read more

Hidden Barber Shop - Clean cut & fade - Barbers Near Me - Oceanside, California

While waiting for my car washed, stopped in to have my ears lowered. No wait when they opened in the morning, friendly staff, "Z" helped me practice my Spanish while she trimmed me up. read more

Great local barber, very convenient booking system, friendly with good customer service.

Oceanside has many Barber Shops, but on Oceanside blvd, this is the best place for a hot towel shave, beard trim, hair cuts, nose hair wax, and eyelash extensions. While you wait, there is a pool table, refreshments and TV. Hidden Barber Shop is a Hidden gem. I support small businesses, especially Oceanside locals. read more

Zee was amazing very professional good vibes there everyone was nice. I recommend this place.

Great staff and vibe in the shop. I have literally had a haircut from every stylist working here and never had a bad cut. Their attention to detail is amazing. This is the only place to get a haircut for me from now on. read more

Zaida is awesome, she's been cutting my hair for a few years now....The Shop has a really good vibe, and her other barbers are awesome aswell read more

This place really is a Hidden Gem. It's so clean and spacious in here. So far everyone my son has seen has been excellent. I appreciate the hometown feel as well as the military support. read more

Sick cut, sick crew, sick price! I definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking to get lined up. Thanks Hidden Barber Shop.

Super cool place. Awesome vibe. 100% recommended! They have been serving Oceanside for 11 years and there is no doubt how they stayed in business. No bull, just a killer barber shop. read more

walked right in and after a short wait was all set. Had an amazing experience. The atmosphere is almost like a tattoo shop and it's very peaceful and laidback. Vee did exactly what I wanted and went above and beyond my expectations. I had a wonderful experience and could not recommend this place anymore read more

Gave wrong haircut and didn't even apologize after just argued she didn't hear the request. Terrible customer service.

Enjoyed a great haircut today by Ari, and also enjoyed conversation with shop-owner, Zaida! Hidden Barber Shop (HBS) was extremely clean, comfortable, and provided a very positive vibe. Ari was extremely friendly and was a great conversationalist. He listened intently to what I wanted in a haircut and delivered with style and painstaking care! My wife and I are visiting from out-of-state and had fortunately had been recommended to Ari and the HBS by a new acquaintance. I was very pleased with the experience and highly recommend Zaida, Ari, and their team of professionals! read more

Ignore the negative reviews. We are in a day and age where people complain just to complain. They are bored and should probably consider picking up a hobby and or working out, would help alleviate all that negative energy. I've been coming here for the last year and will never go to another barber shop again. Ari, who I believe is the owner, is extremely friendly, has a great positive attitude and gives a great haircut. The other two ladies that work there (shout out to April) are extremely friendly and welcoming with a wicked sense of humor. The barber shop itself it neat and clean with a pool table for the waiting patrons. I love this place and the welcoming friendly attitudes of the staff, they've always been accommodating and usually can get me in for a haircut the same day. Try this place and you won't be disappointed. Shout out to Ari, thanks for the great haircut, my fiancé approves! read more

Place is amazing and customer service friendly. I always go to my barber Ari, but he is not there Omar and Zaida are great barbers! I followed Ari when he was at another barber shop and I do not regret it! Man is artist of his craft! read more

Long overdue update on this shop, since it moved from the Dick's Sporting Goods mall to a location right near the College Blvd Sprinter train stop. Unlike the other location, this place has plenty of room where you can stretch your legs without kicking the guy in the chair getting his hair cut. The barbers here know their business, they have drinks (soda, tea, water) available for sale while you wait, and a restroom for the patrons too. But with the changes, somethings remain the same. And that is, a flat screen TV to watch while getting your hair cut, a semi hidden location that can't be easily seen from Oceanside Blvd, and I've never experienced a long wait going here. read more

I got tons of compliments on my haircut - however the shop was playing explicit music which I didn't really enjoy during my haircut. I don't think explicit music is appropriate at a barber shop personally. I will give them another chance because as I said I did get a fantastic haircut but definitely won't be taking my Son to this place. read more

Cool newly renovated barbershop with talented barbers. Ari is the man and always cuts my hair exactly how I want it. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming to all. The barbers here take their time with each client and do not rush people in and out. Haircuts are on par with swanky shops down in north park, but at a much more reasonable price. read more

Well wow. I rarely leave a one star review, but this place deserves even less. Back story... Came with my friend to get a hair cut. We walk in and it's completely empty except the fellow working who is sweeping. My friend nicely says, "I was wondering if I could get a hair cut?" The man blatantly and sternly says "NO WOMEN". Now my friend, who I will admit is a WOMAN, reaffirmed her position and said "oh well no I understand, I want a guy's cut anyway" and again the guy says NO WOMEN. My poor amazing friend at this point is confused and says "Even if it's a buzz?" and again, the man just looks at us and says no women allowed. She has short hair, like a gentleman's cut, and just wanted it trimmed. A woman's head of hair is no less sensitive or undeserving of a cut than a man's. I'm not even going to admit that I think this establishment is homophobic, but for crying out loud, I go to my own salon and see men in there all the time, and not once do I think this is a women's only salon. It doesn't matter. It's a freaking hair cut. I understand if a woman came in to a barber shop expecting a perm and highlights, and realized it's not that kind of place. Maybe I'm ignorant but I know this can't be the case, because my friend has gone to PLENTY of barber shops that appear men only and have been treated like a valuable customer no matter what her gender or preference is. They have clippers, scissors, just what she needed. They were empty and they turned away business and now I'm labeling them as homophobic. Way to go. So my poor friend and I leave. This didn't even happen to me and I even felt disgusted. I can only imagine how my friend must be feeling. Never again will I come back, not that I could anyway since I am a WOMAN. We will be contacting the BBB about this for sure. read more

At one time this was a good Barbershop. I visited Saturday. I was charged $25.00 for just a regular haircut. To add to this outrageous Price they don't take a Debit card. Had to use their ATM. Additional cost of $2.25. Don't waste your time with this RIP off Barbershop. Better places to choose from. read more

First time to the "Hidden Barber Shop" Nice little barbershop, Everyone was nice, the place was clean and professional. Daniel cut my hair, which had grown a bit out of control due to COVID, I'll definitely be back. The price was reasonable, the skill level was great you could see these people care about their clients. read more

I have been going to Hidden Barber shop for 7 years and will only go there. The atmosphere is great and I have always been treated great. I get a great cut at a good price and enjoy the vibe of the entire staff. Ari and the shop owner Zyda are the most talented but all their barbers are good. Anyone who complains about wait times needs to understand that the wait is long at times because of the quality. read more

Went in to get my son's haircut and sat and waited for over 20mins. I was finally asked if I had an appointment, which I didn't just to be told they were booked for the day. What a waste of time, I should of been greeted and asked that right as I came in. Very unprofessional response to my disappointment as well I was told they were too busy to ask. Needless to say I will not be returning even though they are the closest barbershop to my house. read more

I don't always get a haircut.... but when I do I prefer Zaida at Hidden Barber Shop. She knows how to keep my old pate in shape. read more

Took my 85 year old father for a shave. I didn't get the name of the girl who worked on him but she was wonderful! Not only did she give him a nice, clean shave...she trimmed his eyebrows, shaved the "old man" hair on his ears and even trimmed up his hair....all for only $6. Will definitely take Dad back when he's ready for a haircut. Someone mentioned the wait time being long...I believe that it's due to the barbers taking their time to get it right...don't mind waiting for that! read more

Ari took care of me and gave me the best beard trim I have ever received! My hair looks great and I will definitely be returning. read more

This place used to be fine to take my friend to get haircuts and they were pretty reliable and not too bad of a haircut. This is now the third time that they have been closed significantly earlier than the hours claim. To give an idea of how early, we came at 6:30 and they aren't supposed to close until 8. To top it off, there is no sign on the door, they simply left who knows how early. Thought we would give this place another try but quickly realized why we stopped going to begin with. read more

Got haircut today that took forever and it came out ugly. Now have to cancel my weeding for next month. Also was cut several times please be smart they will mess your hair up . customer service was also bad !!!! read more

We went to Supercuts first and then came here to fix their mess. The dark haired girl I don't remember her name. Did a great job and was patient with my cranky three year old. Haircuts are never fun for my little grandson. We were in, we were out and we'll be coming back again. read more
