When I say I've tried 20+ barbers in San Diego it's no joke. Every other spot either messed up my cut, gave me a bad vibe, or didn't even respond when I was ready for a return visit. I eventually gave up and just started wearing a hat. Eddie changed that. He got my hair looking better than anyone before clean, sharp, and exactly what I wanted. He's polite, professional, and knocked out an amazing skin fade with a design (including eyebrows) in no time so I could get on my way. On top of that, the vibe in the shop was perfect l great music playing, the interior is clean and stylish, and it just feels like a place you want to come back to. He's officially got himself a lifelong customer. If you're tired of searching for the right barber, trust me go see Eddie at Refined Barbershop.

He actually took the time to help me figure out a style that fits me and is easy to maintain, not just rushing through it like most places. You can tell he really knows what he's doing--attention to detail is on point and the cut came out clean. If you're looking for a barber that's skilled, personable, and actually cares about how you look when you leave, J is the guy. Highly recommend

Too short, he shaved my son's eyebrows without even asking, and more than just a nic - Straight looked like a cheese grater to the back of the neck. Cut him two times and made him bleed. Ew. Argued, talked over me when I tried to explain why it wasn't what we asked for. Attitude all around. I paid cash, yeah. No tip for lack of accountability and argument. After I paid and left - one employee said "have a nice day" the barber / shop owner yelled out to me in the parking lot " no have a bad day". Ridiculous and laughable. I don't leave bad reviews ever, but this is me having a better day. Beware reader, I suggest looking elsewhere for less expensive, less confrontational haircuts like 888 Barber Shop on Carlton Hills Blvd. Go there instead, unless you wanna get Texas Chainsaw Massacred on your neck too. In response to Eevil T- yes EVIL indeed. I'm not sharing pics of my son's hair although I could. Don't try to come on here and look like a respectful man. I showed pics to people of your whack freestyle design. Ugly. The first time you took 45-50 mins- this time 25. You made him bleed., and you still charged us. Maybe if you would have not charged at full price and yelled at me I would have tipped. Couldn't wait to leave. And you did say have a bad day. We have enough gaslighters in the world. Be better! What do cameras have to do with anything? I'm showing a pic of how numbers can be different so that's a moot point. We were happy, then we weren't. End of story. Yourw treating this review like we are in court. I'm going to agree to disagree and speak MY truth. Would it kill you to say sorry and that's it ? Still trying to argue. Stop. You're annoying.

Also loved the scented hot towel on my face. The haircut was good quality work, skin fade with a Fauxhawk. However after I said only clean up and lineup with my beard, I lost in between a half inch and inch of length. I normally style my beard with a straightener and now there is not enough length to do anything with. Also concerning the lineup, the barber only got on top of the beard and under it, not all the way around which includes near the ear area. Also had some hair left behind my ear which I trimmed myself. The pricing was an odd one as it was about $2 more than what I normally pay in the area. All in all, probably a good place for a haircut as they had plenty of barbers and got the work done rather quickly. Just not the place to go to for a lineup or anything concerning facial hair.

You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work -- fast, efficient, but never rushed. Every cut is clean, precise, and exactly how you pictured it (or better). What really stands out is how hard-working and dedicated he is. You can tell he genuinely cares about making each client look and feel their best. It's rare to find someone who combines speed, skill, and artistry like that. He's truly a master of his craft. If you're looking for a barber who actually listens, delivers every single time, and makes you walk out feeling confident -- this is the one.

This review is done by my husband:…read more I have lived in San Diego for 25 years and have been to many barbers in that time, even a regular at a few. I say that to say, I will never go anywhere else since finding Joseph. I am continuously impressed with not only the precision but the speed. I can take a 30 minute lunch break, drive over, get a great haircut & beard trim, and drive home with 10 minutes to spare. There are often 2 to 3 barbers in the shop. Although everyone leaves looking very fresh and clean, I will only let Joseph cut my hair. I can sometimes go a while between cuts and get pretty shaggy, Joseph makes me look like a different person. Added bonus, I enjoy my time in the shop. Joseph and his babrers are good people. Leave your politics and religion at home. This is not the shop for it. In short, this place gets an 11/10.
