He's ain't cheap...he ain't quick, he's an artisan. Kevin gives some fab cuts. You feel very pampered here as he studies your done and the way you hair drapes. Little back and forth then the cut began. Quick snips here and there then the vision started taking shape. 30 mins later my head is lighter and well sculpted. Will become my go to place moving on. read more

Came for a walk in, because online and on the windows it says "WALK IN'S WELCOMED" but they turned me away. Not in a very kind way either. Wouldn't recommend, without an appointment especially. read more

This is not a quick haircut. Overall, good experience for its price. Kevin is very detailed oriented, and makes sure you are happy with the cut. However, The price range in Yelp is definitely misleading, $35 for men's haircut is definitely not one dollar sign. Only found out when I arrived. Luckily, I brought enough cash with me for the service. I highly recommend this place if you want good barber experience, it's worth the price. Do also make an appointment ahead of time. But also keep in mind, this is not a quick barber experience. read more

Looking for an awesome cut at the most reasonable price with a chill vibe and excellent quality then call Kevin (he'll answer the phone pretty much 24/7). Your hairstylist may hate you after not seeing you again, but you'll save some cheddar and it's not far from 580/880 smack dab in the middle of theSan Leandro flats. Its what it says it is, it's Kevin and he cuts and he's really good at it one of those where it looks as dope or icier when it grows out as it does when trimmed. I'll admit I was wandering the wastelands for a while like Boyd in Fallout and I found an oasis for my elongated melon grass in our friend Kevin. Definitely 5 stars in quality, conversation, and ambience! read more

Kevin is amazing. I took my son here for his first "barbershop" experience & I was not disappointed in the least. He was very friendly & knew exactly how to cut his hair, did it quick & was okay with him moving around a little (he's 2). Highly recommend to others. read more

Kevin is always spot on He listens and does a cut just the way you want it No nonsense just a great cut Try and call for an appointment because he can be pretty busy Thankfully he was open throughout the pandemic as well And $25 for a great haircut! I'm a fan read more

Kevin's Cut - Thankfully, OPEN! 01-30-21 - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

upon a friends recommendation, I decided to go to Kevin's cut and see if he can meet my needs. He exceeded the needs of cutting my hair and my beard and did a bang up job. I'm very hesitant about people cutting my hair so it takes a lot for me to go to somebody new. I'm very glad I did. He gave me exactly what it asked for. He paid attention to what I asked about trimming my beard, and how I wanted it styled which made me very happy. And he also trimmed my eyebrows without even asking. I highly recommend him he is busy, so be sure and schedule an appointment ahead of time, although he occasionally does take walk-ins. A+ plus plus in my book. read more

Kevin's Cut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

Been going to Kevin for many years always good to see him he really gets into cutting people's hair sometimes lol but he does a great job....he loves doing what he does read more

Kevin actually listens to you about how you want your hair cut. Kevin takes his time cutting your hair and doesn't try to rush. Once he cuts your hair he knows exactly how you want it cut going forward. Kevin is the best barber in San Leandro and I highly recommend him for yourself and your family including your wife. 5-stars!!! read more

Walks away to check the cut from different angles. Very observant and constantly rechecks his work. Highly recommend his cuts for asian males. Also he takes cash only so that's the only thing you have to prepare for. read more

Our regular barber was out of town. We went to Kevin's cut. He gave my son the best haircut he's had. He followed whatever was on the picture and added some "spice" to it. He was courteous and friendly. We'll definitely return to Kevin. SDG. read more

The best, cool and awesome Barber in the Bay. He is great and super friendly Definitely book your haircut with him. read more

I lost count of how many years I have been coming here but I don't have any plans of going anywhere to get my haircuts.

He's back! Reopened for indoor service. I've been going to him for years after trying a bunch of other barbers that love to overcharge you to pay for their beard grooming and tattoos. Seriously, he's a true gem in San Leandro for a great haircut. And the people know, because there's always a wait to get your hair right with Kevin. The guy does it all, fades, tapers, hard parts, long hair, short hair, etc etc. The one bright spot about this pandemic is that now Kevin takes appointments! That's right, no more waiting. Kevin only allows one client in at a time, has the place sanitized, wears masks and gloves the entire time. I felt very safe the entire time. I called Kevin yesterday, got an appointment for today at my typical time I usually see him, showed up today and in and out with zero wait. Seriously, I wish he did this years ago. In this new world, let's all do our part, call ahead, set an appointment, get your hair right, and support this guy. read more

TL/DR: Great Cut, Great Safety Precautions, Good Price My frist time going to Kevin and I was happy with the results. The Cut: As everyone mentioned here, he's really good. Listens to what you want and takes his time to give you a great cut. Not sure I'm just so thrilled getting my hair cut after 6 months of COVID lockdown or if the cut is actually that good. But regardless, I felt like he cut my hair the way I wanted. Was really impressed by Kevin taking his time with my cut. He asked a few questions and interpreted what I wanted really well. The Establishment (Post COVID) As others have mentioned here, I was impressed by the precautions he took. He had a mask and gloves on the entire time. Had the front door and back door open to create more of an open air environment. He only takes one client at a time (I called for an appointment and he said come down right now, I'm free, so I got lucky). After he was done with me, he sanitized the whole shop. I watched him as he closed the front door to start cleaning and spraying everything down. The Price: His prices went up, but like everything in the post covid world, this is understandable (and to some degree should be expected). He can only see a certain amount of clients per hour (for our and his safety) and has to spend extra money on cleaning products, etc. He's also taking on more risk to provide the service. I'm glad to support local businesses like his. read more

Best barber in town . I got thin hair so a lot of barbers have trouble doing fades . I used to go to another spot down the street but he didn't have any time to do my haircut so I decided to give Kevin a shot. This was about 5 years ago. I never went back to my old barber. Cash only . Decent pricing compared to barber shops . read more

Found a new local barber! Kevin is top notch and did a really awesome job on my covid hair. He was friendly, efficient, and keeps a keen eye for detail! I'll be back 100 more times! read more

***UPDATE*** Since I have been coming here for the past couple years I always expect 45min-1hr wait, anything less is bonus! Fade is flawless, lines are straight and tapered, and the style is up to you. Thanks Kevin! ***UPDATE*** 9/14/18 Needed a new style and Kevin came through again! Worth the wait! (Usually 30min) My go to guy for fades and styles! If you have thick coarse hair or Asian hair then Kevin can fix you up! I fully support ma and pa shops! I pay Kevin half of what I pay barbers. If you need a fade hit this place up! read more

I brought my 6 month old son here for his first haircut because of proximity to home. I showed up Friday and the place was packed even though it was close to six. We had to leave. I took it as a good sign that there were so many people waiting patiently! I came back the next day, it was packed again but I didn't think it would be too long of a wait because guy's cuts should be fast, right? Nope. I ended up waiting 1.5 hours! Kevin takes his time with his cuts and fades. Everyone looked so clean after he was done with them haha. My son was sleeping so it was chill. By the time he woke up, it was our turn. Kevin did such a beautiful job! At first he was concerned that my son might be too young, but he is very well behaved and didn't cry so the entire experience was so much better than I expected! read more

Kevin is very skilled, definitely one of the best men's haircut in the area considering the price.

He's Fantastic! His fades are clean and aren't too sharp for a more natural clean look. but make sure to make an appointment!

TL;DR: Great barbershop in San Leandro! Thoughts: I had been to Kevin's cut twice and so far I am satisfied with what Kevin delivered! He always listens to what I would like and makes sure I am content with the haircut. Make sure to call him to make an appointment! read more

I like my haircut . I will recommend this place to anyone looking to get a good haircut

I am so happy to see Kevin's price go up to $15 dollars. He is so worth it. I always get upset at times when I see some not giving a reasonable tip or when someone does not tip him at all. I mean, you don't go to a restaurant and not tip, right?!?! His price change was needed. It will make up for the patrons who do not tip him. He deserves it. Kevin has been cutting my hair for 10 plus yrs when I used to live here in San Leandro. Now that I live in Pacifica, I still drive or bart to San Leandro to get a hair cut from him. He is one of the best in the business and I do not mind waiting in line for him. Love your new sign Kev! =) read more

Kevin's Cut - Hair Salons Near Me - San Leandro, California

First time coming in. Non appt, and he had his appts to take care of. When my turn came up, I just told him the style of hair. He took care of the rest and it was all good. Definitely coming back from now on. read more

COVID has been very hard for service providers. Fortunately Kevin made it through and is better than ever! I've been going to Kevin for about 4 years, and when I find a good barber, I never leave them! I did my own Covid crew cut when everything shut down and it was horrific. I kept in touch with Kevin and as soon as he was taking clients, I was first in line. If you've been his customer, you'll be happy to know he's open and ready to clean up your home-styled hairdo! Kevin is the BEST! - RANDY R. read more

Nice barber shop skilled hairdresser good to take your Kidd's, they can play on x box while you or they are having hair cut Highly recommend read more

Kevin has been my barber for the last 4 or 5 years, and I've tried nearly every place in San Leandro. I'm also an Army Reservist so I cut my hair a lot, at least every other week, and he gets it perfect every time. In the last few years, word has spread about how great he is, and now there's consistently a line of 4 or 5 customers. (And he is the only barber. ) I'm torn because I'm happy that he's gotten so much more business, since he deserves it but it also sucks to have to wait in line for an hour and a half just for a haircut. Totally worth it though. read more

I have been going here for about half a year now and Kevin has always given great service. His prices are extremely reasonable and he has never made me wait longer than 10 minutes from my appointment time. Even if he is late, I've never felt like he's been rushed to cut my hair. read more

Back open for indoor, for now. He sanitized seats, the air, and all equipment between each client. He even sprayed himself so he is doing all he can to keep all safe. Price went up but understandable as he can only see two client per hour by appointment read more

Kevin is awesome. Have to make appointment or you going to have to wait for a long time. Very clean and friendly.

Called to confirm walk-in wait time . He said not much so I came in. There was one guy ahead of me . I wait half an hour and someone else walks in. I got up ready to get my haircut and he said "let me help my appointment first" . I'm not mad the appointment was helped first ; I'm mad expectations weren't set upfront. If you're busy or are expecting appointments, SAY THAT. It's Common courtesy. I won't be back . read more

I've been coming here for the past 1.5 years because you can always expect a consistent haircut from Kevin. There's usually a long line with 5+ people on the busy weekends and you can wait for 2+ hours very easily. However, I was surprised to find nobody in line one Saturday and got lucky recently. There is plenty of parking in the area but I usually Uber here anyway. read more

I don't need to say anything about what a great barber Kevin is. You could read the other reviews here and they're all correct. After 6 months of Alameda County ducking around with our small business owners Kevin is finally opened again! He's by appointment only now so give him a call. If he have a cancellation he can accommodate you same day as he did for me. Make sure you go and support him, he was paying rent while doing zero business for 6 long months. Prices has went up ($25 as of 9/25/20) and that's understandable. I'm unemployed due to covid so that means I personally have to go longer between cuts but as long as Kevin is open I'll be supporting his shop! read more

Positives: when you get a barber who gives you what you want at a high quality and is not across the city so you can save some gas when getting to a closer barbershop, what do you feel, what to you say? Hallelujah!! Even after a 90 minute wait on Tuesday, I really wanted to try out this place because of the incredible reviews and I was thankful I stayed, despite my huge reluctance about wait time. Do note Wednesdays and Thursdays are his slower days, I theorize this is because people tend to do things on beginning or end of a week. It's gone from $15 to $16 for a haircut, which is almost a little too much considering the %15-20 tip folks generally give in the service industry. There's limited parking in the parking lot but there exists street parking. This place is worth it if you're a guy. You come in, request what type of cut you want, he gives it to you, you pay at the front desk, and that's that. It's a very compact place but he runs it cleanly and efficiently. I think this is my new favorite haircut spot. Negatives: none! read more

$25 for man hair cut and paid $30 with tips. Not so good and most likely won't go back. He was fast, in expensive but not much skill. But he is nice. May be I'm just a bit picky, consider the money I spent, may be worth to others. I was just didn't have time to go SF for my regular hair cut and chose him as interim solution. read more

One of the only places that was open on a holiday in San Leandro. The man got skills! First impression walking up to the establishment was that I wasn't very impressed. The building is next to a small local grocery store. As I walked in, only the owner was there. I saw a bunch of people sitting on folding chairs and I assumed it was the waitlist line, so I grabbed a seat. I then realized the place was CASH ONLY. Yes, don't forget to bring cash! There was an at the moment across the street by a liquor store, but it was out of service when I went. I ended up driving to the closest Chase bank. The waitlist system could use improvement, but it probably was because it was on a holiday. Whatever the case may be, I was happy with my haircut in the end! Thank you! read more

Kevin is one of the best barbers there is. I decided to try a new barber because many of them always seem to give me a crooked cut. But my first time with Kevin it was great! I highly recommend him! He is a gem! read more

I came in here the first time on 2/9. I am living in San Lorenzo temporarily and looking for a decent cut. I came here because of the reviews. There were 2 guys before me so I had to wait for at least 30 mins. When my time came, I explained to Kevin what style I prefer with my hair. I told him that the last haircut I hard, the stylist messed it up. Kevin could even tell that the last cut I had was done bad. I'm happy with my haircut- definitely will be back here in 2 weeks while I'm still in the area. Thanks Kevin! See you! read more
