    Our dog Bailey enjoying the space at James

    After several months of not being able to get our regular haircut, we were glad to see Jake settled into his new location at James. The new location is warm and inviting, and we were very impressed with the overall design - and safety protocols in place. Jake has been cutting out hair for several years, and we can't recommend him highly enough - we will certainly be coming back here on a frequent basis!

    First real haircut since February 2020 and Jake did a great job cleaning up my beast of a mop. Found my new barber!

    Ask the Community - James at Button Down

    Do they perform eyebrow shaping for men?

    They’ll do scissor trimming if requested but aren’t equipped for full brow shaping at this time.

    My recent session with Jake was hands down the best experience I've had in 7 years of SF haircuts.

    Came in for a textured fringe and showed pictures. I didn't dislike the haircut because I was…read morelooking for something more sporty but it looked nothing like the pictures I gave. It was a little too short to style. Make sure to confirm for your fade you want a zero or skin because I thought that was communicated but I didn't feel like it was to that level. The barber took his time and was about a 30 minute haircut. Hard to say but maybe not the best for Asian hair and the price was pretty steep being that it's in the city. Ambience is great and they give complimentary coffee.

    I've been a customer here for 5 years and sadly no more ... they treat customers like crap and have…read moreno respect for their time. The three strikes that ended it for me, despite being so conveniently located. 1) My go-to barber said they didn't want to work with me, b/c they were too stressed after cutting my hair before a major event I was going to. There was too much pressure to make it just right before a big day LOL ... talk about soft and weird honestly. 2) Disrespectful customer service and hidden fees ... People's Barber are extremely strict about protecting their time - fining people if you're 10 min late. But with customers anything goes. I showed up at 10am on a Sat. They told me at 10:20 that they're over booked and next available slot is 11. So fine, I came back at 11, my cut starts at 11:15 and goes till 12. Then b/c the barber used scissors instead of a shaver that I booked, which took 45 min, the receptionists charged me extra b/c it took too long. I told him I didn't ask for or order the scissor cut, the barber just did it. The receptionist said, "well that's what you got so it's more now." like WTF guys. 3) Haircuts have deteriorated. I actually had scabbing on my neck when one barber used the shaver to make a sharp trim line. I unfortunately didn't save a picture so I can't post. But end of the day, they guys ran off 5 year regular... just annoying.
