Absolutely wonderful service. Got my 13 year old ready for 8th grade :) LOVE the awesome ocean view while listening to old school jams outside on the patio. This place is just perfect. Will be back again! read more

Six star service. This establishment is a legit barbershop and my son had an amazing experience. He's gone to barbershops in Washington DC, Virginia, and several in San Diego. I'm grateful for Mr. Roby's attention to detail and expertise and we're so glad we found his new regular stylist. read more

Frank is the man, super nice guy and incredible cut , im looking super fresh now , amazing view of the del mar in the chair, you can see the ocean as you get cut read more

Perfect setting, great music, conversation, and Mr Roby knows beards and hair--Will make you look and feel great. Even sponsored by a whiskey company... read more

Frank is the man! Happened to walk by and needed a pre wedding freshen up. Frank was super friendly and said he could fit me in before an appointment. The vibe was outstanding- great cut, awesome views and even better conversation. I'm recommending Frank to ALL of my friends in this area and even considering driving up to make him my regular barber (I live 45 min away). I see a lot of complaints about price, which is ridiculous. You shouldn't be surprised when you're in Del Mar with a view of the beach. If you want a $20 cut, go to Great Clips. If you want an awesome cut with a personal touch and support a great, local business owner then Mr. Roby's is the spot! read more

My son had his first *real* barbershop experience here and he can't stop talking about it because it was so wonderful! Mr. Roby is very kind and professional with mad skills.

Been going to frank every 5 weeks for for 3 years now, always gives a great cut! What's up frank

Great service, Great haircuts and barber shop, kids and adults Kids really like their haircuts read more

He did a very good and efficient job. Charming to chat with. Knows how to use a straight razor - you can trust him. Having your hair cut outside and in view of the ocean is an experience! Be warned it comes at a cost: $65 plus tip for a man's haircut in 20 minutes. read more

Excellent haircut. Good suggestions for style changes. Good location with nearby parking. Very nice man!

BEST BARBER EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD. This guy is a staple in the community. Probably the only black business in the community as well. He will have a great future and be here for a long time. read more

After looking at previous reviews, i was confident that Mr. Roby could execute a low fade. There was no fade. Just an undercut all around. Just straight up buzzed it to where a high fade would be. He used a 1 all around. Gotta grow it back out now and find someone i can trust. Not looking for a refund or a "fix" or any attempts to rectify the situation. Bcuz there is no fixing. There's no reason he misunderstood. Only 3 things were said in that chair. Low fade. Keep the sides. Dont touch the top. All instructions were ignored. read more

I've been going to Mr. Roby for a couple years now and he's been my go-to barber ever since. His haircuts are consistent and look great right away. You know you've gotten a bad haircut when it needs to "grow out a bit" -- with Mr. Roby, you'll look good right away and the haircuts always grow out gracefully too. I highly recommend Mr. Roby if you're serious about your hair. I've never had a better haircut. Thanks, Mr. Roby! read more

Scheduled an appointment the day before for 1100 and I showed up 15 minutes prior. His shop looked like he was working on the place or renovating and texted me that he would be there in 20 minutes. I wait until 1130 with no updates. After I left and scheduled another appointment elsewhere, he texts me that he is there around 1200 after I had already waited and left. He apologized but this is just bad business. read more

I visit Del Mar about 3-4 times a year, for the past few years I have been wanting to drop by Mr. Roby's shop and today my son and I finally made it happen. My haircut and shave were on point (and I am extremely picky), Mr. Roby is very talented. He creates a very comfortable and peaceful vibe, great background music and of course you have the gorgeous view of ocean in front of you with a nice little breeze kicking in. I felt at ease right away, Mr. Roby and I conversed about our kids, life, and about the simple joys in life. I am pretty good at picking up on energies, I'm a psychologist, the man is a good soul- throughout my haircut everyone in the neighborhood kept passing by and waved to say hello to him. His prices are very reasonable, my son and I are already looking forward to our next trip to Del Mar! read more

Mr. Roby's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Del Mar, California

Mr. Roby is an amazing character. He has set up his barbershop near a street corner in Del Mar so that it all happens outside in a small outdoor building entry with a fountain, + ocean views, always ready with a friendly honest greeting for anyone who walks by (and has treats ready for all the local doggies). For the half hour that you are there, it's more like like a public plaza than a barber shop (where you go to meet people, catch some sun, and, bonus, you get a haircut too!). By now, everyone in the community knows Mr. Roby (even people driving in cars make a point to yell 'hello' out the window). And yes, the haircuts are great. read more

I finally found the local barbershop I have been looking for the past 6 years! The cut is really nice and clean, and Fred and his staff are really nice and friendly! read more

Mr Robey is a star!!! My sons, well overdue first haircut was today and Mr Robey made him feel right at home. My son walked right up and sat in his chair with confidence. He just has a calm and professional demeanor that was perfect for this special moment that we will cherish forever! We will be back to see you for his next cut! Thank you again! read more

The cut was good. It was a bit more than I expected to pay. $55. He did wash my hair. Not sure if he was charging extra for that. If so I probably would have passed. They also don't take any major credit or debit cards and made me go to an ATM to pay cash. Super awkward and inconvenient. Nice guy but I'm not the person that wants to pay $55 to get a regular cut. read more

Came in earlier today for the first time for a cut. Frank is a really chill dude and the view from the chair is priceless and a unique experience you can't get anywhere else. The quality of the cut matched the scenery and overall it was a great experience. Since I moved back to SD I've been looking for a new spot and I think my search is now over. Definitely worth the drive from wherever you are in the city. ProTip: The building had a parking lot in the back if you prefer not to park on the street. Also try to bring cash to make everything easy for everybody. read more

Excellent cuts every time and great conversation. Best barbershop in SD hands down, highly recommended!

Hands down the best experience I've ever had at a barber shop. Great atmosphere, great cut and a whole lot of fun chatting it up with Frank and listening to all his GOOD ADVICE. Go see Mr. Roby! 5 STARS. read more

Ain't many places you can get a great haircut while listen to smooth jazz and watch the tides of the ocean roll in Appreciate the cut Mr. Frank read more

Great Haircut. Good conversation. Nice experience. Open air environment with views toward the ocean. Must get used to no mirror to watch his magic but before and after video is plenty after receiving so many positive comments on the cut. read more

I love coming here and highly recommend it. The conversation is rich and the haircut amazing. Always makes my beard the best it can be as per my wife. I'm will only be going here! read more

The GOAT of his craft. I've been loyal to Frank for 3+ years and have followed him wherever he goes. Everywhere else is simply a quick fix to hold me over until I can revisit the master's chamber. Absolutely NO ONE compares to his skill, detail, and finesse. I have thick, coarse, unruly asian hair with two cowlicks that get pulled when cut improperly. Frank is my hair whisperer. I always leave with WAY too much confidence because of my tight taper, crisp lines, and clean fade. Frank is a professional. Next to Leon, there is no one who cares more for his clients. He is quick to respond, will always find a way to squeeze you in, he's a conversationalist, an optimist, and THE barber sensei. If I ever was president, I'd fly him across the world on AF1 before every event. 12/10 would recommend. read more

I'm very grateful Mr. Roby took my sudden appointment and I will confirm he is a top-shelf barber. He took my shelter-in-place mop of hair and got me ship-shape surprisingly fast. It's been since Philadelphia that I looked this good. read more

I've been going to see Mr. Roby at his barbershop for about a month now and cannot be happier. The conversation is always just as amazing as the haircut. Frank is a very experienced barber and often can catch mistakes previous barbers have made (using thinning sheers) and provides a plan to get you to your desired haircut. He has great availability and an amazing attitude. Definitely have found my go to barber here in beautiful Del Mar. Frank does also have some great bi-weekly and weekly haircut pricing as well which is clutch! read more

For years I always went to the cheapest place I could find to cut my hair and every time I got so nervous they would mess it up I wouldn't go as often as I should. This was my first adult experience with a highly qualified barber and I have to say it was such an amazing experience. I've never felt so comfortable and confident getting my hair cut before today. Frank is worth everything single penny couldn't recommend more. P.S. gaethje is going to surprise you and khabib. read more

I was looking forward to a haircut all week. Showed up for my 9:00 am appointment and the shop was closed. A courtesy call would have been appreciated. read more

Mr. Roby's barber shop was a real find. Excellent haircut by a real gentleman. His barber chair was just outside his front door, which was a plus. Fresh air and good conversation. And a professional cut as well! I will be back. read more

Frank is the best barber in SD bar none. He is busy from 10-6, 6 days a week. .

My man from IL, always nice to have a midwest barber take care of you! I found him on here and he fit me in right before the holiday. He is very precise and clean. This man know's what he is doing and I was ecstatic about the final product. My wife and family loved the cut. Will be seeing him again. Thank you again, PS. cash only. read more
