J's always gives the best cuts, their attention to detail and those personal touches are what always brings me back. I have tried other barbers around the area and they tend to mess things up (most of the time). I can always count on getting a great cut from here. If you are looking for good quality cuts to stay looking fresh! You don't need to look any further than J's, they do live up to thir name of Great Cuts! read more

This was probably one of the best hair cuts I have ever had!!! The attention to detail was perfect!!! The classic barber shop feel was on point! Robert paid attention to every last detail. Some I didn't even think of! For only $15 this hands down is the best haircut I have ever had read more

I saw all the great reviews, so I decided to take my son who is 5 here. I wasn't sure if he would sit still or cry, but out barber Ronnie was amazing, took the time and was super fast and did an amazing job. Most definitely go back. Thanks read more

Another fantastic visit to J's. Was helped by Robert "scissor hands". This time rather then a full haircut and hot shave I only had funds for a quick cut. Regardless Robert made sure I was happy with every aspect of my hair cut and even put in the extra effort to help clean up the lines of my beard. As always I walked out looking fresh and clean for just 15 dollars. Straight edge razor lines are the only way to go when getting a hair cut and I have to say that I'm completely spoiled now. Ask for Robert and let him know Cliff sent you! read more

This place is a very cool barber shop. My husband has been getting his hair cut here for about a year. These guys are very thorough with a nice attention to detail. They tend to always be busy so be prepared to take a seat. That being said, once again, this place is worth the wait! read more

Wally is the man! This is my go to spot, can't say enough great things about them. When I first moved out to SD, I tried J's Great Cuts and a couple other places. Sure enough, I came back and haven't gone anywhere else since. Highly recommended! read more

For 11 years I have gone to J's and after moving all over San Diego (even as far north as Rancho Peñesquitos) I STILL always drive to see Wally / Sal and the other guys. Literally the most consistent haircut I could ever get. A few years ago I changed my hairstyle and they always remember how and what to do. I know at the end of the cut it's always going to be exactly what I asked for. These guys are the best in San Diego county. I won't ever go anywhere else. Other places just don't seem to "get it." read more

Had a great experience at I'd great cuts. Mike did an incredible job and my little brother was so happy with his new hair cut. I really recommend this place to everyone and specially Mike, because he's very friendly and nice... read more

Been going here for years now. They always do a fantastic job, attention to detail, always nice and curiosity, to many good things to list. Sal is my favorite barber. read more

Great cuts and customer service. I walked in during Sunday and I was taken care of right away.

Amazing cuts every time my hair has never looked so good definitely would recommend this place

Praise For Wally the Barber: I'm typically not very free with passing out compliments; unless, that is; someone really impresses me or deserves it. That is just what happened today when I took a chance and had Wally (AKA Waleed) cut my hair... owner/operator of J's Great Cuts. When he finished, I thanked him and handed him $20, which covered the $15 haircut and a $5 tip, for which he graciously thanked me. I then complimented him and left, totally pleased and satisfied that I had found "my barber." So, why do I say, "I took a chance"? Simply because I don't find too many barbers that can do a proper job, i.e., cut my hair to my satisfaction. I have a fairly thick head of hair, which is quite fine in texture and totally straight without any curl. What happens is, most garden-variety barbers shift into automatic pilot and cut as they normally would, despite the fact that I usually inform them how I need it to be done, and what happens if it's not that way... no big deal, really. However, if they make any mistakes cutting the sides, every glitch becomes a stepped notch. Then, there's the overhanging "mushroom top" or "bowl-cut" effect if they flare the razor out at the top of each pass, as many tend to do. The thing is, if I had any curl in my hair at all, these things would simply blend in, not be magnified. If a barber cuts my hair too short at my "cow-lick" swirl at the back of the part, it tends to stand up like corn stalks until it grows out. If the barber doesn't taper it properly in the back, then, when I tilt my head to look up, my hair mashes against my collar and sticks out straight. If the sides aren't properly tapered, in a few days my hair will be poking out over my ears and the temples of my glasses. Then, the typical barber will wet my hair down and comb it tight against my head (possibly to mask any mistakes they made). They'll then hand me a mirror and ask how it looks; expecting a compliment. However, I tell them I can't tell how it looks all plastered down like that. Wally did none of these things even without me having to remind him. My hair looks positively great and falls right into place when I comb it. Right from the start it became apparent that Wally is a master at his trade. Much Kudos to you Wally; and, to quote Arnold, I say: "I'll be back!" read more

Stopped by this place this morning to get a haircut. Robert was the only barber there and said he could do a horseshoe cut. That was an understatement, he cut an excellent horseshoe and those of us who get them know how difficult it is to find someone who can do them correctly. This is the best haircut I have received since Tony in Lemon Grove passed. The place was clean and the atmosphere was great. The prices are spot on and I will definitely be back again. read more

I never have been to J's Great Cuts before, but something told me to try it out so I randomly just walked in. Sarmad cut my hair and I could not be happier with the end results! I trusted his ideas and let him do his thing and he took a lot of pride in making my hair look like something from a magazine or movie! I will most definitely be back there. I would highly recommend this barber shop to anybody! read more

Very smart barbers definitely professionals. I have a pretty specific way I like to have my hair and suck at explaining what it is to the barber, but the guy who was cutting my hair did great because he listened then asked then explained then cut then asked how I want my side burns n stuff not just assuming stuff and cutting away like most places. I was overall pretty satisfied. read more

When I was in the military I use to drive up from Oceanside every weekend. I recently moved back home to Vermont and the haircuts weren't the same. Barbers don't know what they're doing over there. Now after 2 years, I'm back for work related matters and couldn't be happier! Being a Marine I've been to many barber shops from Oceanside to Chula Vista, and this is by far the best. read more

I had to get a haircut before a big job interview and my usual barber wasn't available. I came here and was scared to rely on a new barber but Sal did a great job! 10/10 will come back again. read more

Went to J's the other day and they never cease to amaze me! I always get a high skin fade with a 4 on top. This is the only place that does it correctly and it's super affordable. They also do line ups. All have you to do is ask. I've been going hear for 2 years now and i just want to say. I've found my barber shop read more

They take there time and do such a great job on my sons hair really recommend this place for men's haircuts and boys . read more

First of all, the price of a regular haircut is no longer $15. It was changed in December, 2017, to $20. But the value you get is excellent. This was not a 7 minute haircut. It was more like 20-25 minutes. I have been to Sal two times now and both haircuts were excellent. Sal has been cutting hair for more than 25 years and has been at J's for more than 16 years. I could be wrong, but I think Wally has more years cutting hair than Sal. Walk-ins are welcomed. If there is a line, then it is well worth the wait. BTW - Sal takes Wednesdays off. read more

J's is great! They are very detailed and they put a lot of effort into your cut. They do a great job with beard trims, shaves, and anything else you need. I highly recommend them. read more

I was told by a coworker to go to J's Great Cuts and ask for Kevin. It has been almost 5 years now that I have been going here and it is THE BEST barber shop in the San Diego. I drive all the way from Fashion Valley to come here. Kevin and Edwar are the ones I usually go to and they are not barbers, they are artists especially when they use the straight razor for the line up on the beard. The other two barbers do great work too. I will have to give them a 5/5 for sure. read more

Have been coming here for 8 years, cannot find anywhere better! These guys are magic. Kevin, Robert, Edwar and Wally. Must go to haircut spot read more

First time visiting the shop and will most certainly be a repeat customer! After my stylist of ten years retired I had to find a new stylist/barber. Found J's on Yelp and was quite happy with the level of positive reviews. The precision and techniques of the fine folks who work here was immediately evident. They truly take the time to sculpt your hair and have quite a few great services for hair and beards etc. thank you gentlemen! See you again soon! read more

I am very particular about my haircut. I saw the great reviews and decided to give them a try. I was a walk-in and had Aiman as my barber. Aiman did a great job and has a great attention to detail. I will be returning for my next haircut. Thank you Aiman! read more

My husband and two boys are regulars here. We have been customers of Wallys for 6+ years and will continue to give them our business. Every barber in the shop is wonderful with children of all ages. My youngest got his first haircut from them just after his 1st birthday, now ages 9 and 5. Going to the "haircut store" is such a treat for them. Amazing people and amazing work! read more

Great place . Very clean. Ive had the same barber for many years. I've been to many barbers and these guys by far my favorite in San Diego. He truly understands hair . Quality work. He takes his time and cuts your hair the way you want it. He doesn't take shortcuts. read more

First time visiting today (9-29-2019: Sunday morning) and Sal cut my hair. I can definitely say it's a very clean cut. VERY COMFORTABLE barbers chairs. Wait time was less than 20minutes and a little chit chat didn't negatively affect the quality of or time needed to complete the hair cut in any way. I will happily be returning to this establishment and I do recommend them highly to anyone who's been looking for a reliable shop. THANK you Sal! read more
