I've been to a lot the barbershops in town. This is probably the best place to get exactly what I want, the haircut always comes out consistently, and looks great. This place is like the in and out down the street for me, simple menu, great prices, and I know exactly what I'm getting each time. read more

This is a very pleasant barber shop. I had a great haircut and beard trim from Simon. I will be back!

Had a great experience with Simon. Walked in and was immediately greeted and served. Paid a good price for a great haircut. Very satisfied!

Wonderful small business with nice light ambiance. Lily did a wonderful, wonderful job. I'll definetly be back.

Small shop but good and fair prices. In and out with a nice hair cut. Got a parking spot upfront but I can see it maybe challenging at a busier time. I will repeat.. read more

Quick sensible haircut for a great price. I had Simon as my hair stylist and he delivered an outstanding hair cut.

I've been coming to this barbershop for a while now, and it's always a pleasant experience. The haircuts are consistently good, and everyone is super friendly. Best place I have found in Davis. Highly recommend! read more

Ryan was really nice and gave an amazing haircut for a really good price. Will definitely come back!

Worst haircut ever, gave advice to the person cutting my hair multiple times and still gave me a terrible cut. If you're getting a men's haircut do not come here! read more

Pretty solid barber shop! Very nice haircuts that offers $25 for a men's haircut. Nice and hospitable staff as well so I definitely will recommend this spot especially if you're a student looking for a decent haircut at a reasonable price. read more

Went in to get a haircut. Didn't do a great job at cutting my hair. Didn't really listen to my advice. Cut my hair extremely short.

Another great haircut from Lily! Always making me look clean. They take Venmo as well just a heads up read more

Always very happy with the attention to detail they have! Very good service for a very kind price- thanks Diana!

My go-to barbershop here and it's been the go-to of all my friends since I've introduced them to it as well. Sevi is my barber and she does an amazing job every single time. They're also glad to fix your haircut if you see something you don't like. Super affordable haircuts at $25 with barely any wait, if any. read more

RUN FAR AWAY FROM HERE unless you want your ears cut and bleeding for 7 hours /srs ‍‍‍‍

Highly recommend this barber for everyone especially for people looking for experts who cut Asian hair types. I really like the work ethic of this shop: they guarantee a minimum appointment of 20 min so you'll never feel ripped off after a cut. They are especially thorough with every cut and even the trainees are directly supervised to ensure a quality cut. Furthermore, the prices are highly competitive ($25 for a standard cut at time of writing) compared to other shops that charge $30 for a standard cut. Parking is also easy. read more

Ryan was great! Gave me exactly the hairstyle I was looking for, and gave me great tips on how to style it with products. Definitely coming back again. read more

I noticed she was very relaxed with a steady hand. First time going in, and I felt very comfortable and relaxed. She knew what she was doing; steady hand, good fade and haircut. read more

After living in Davis for four years and trying every barber and even cutting my own hair at one point I finally found Lily at olive drive barber shop and I can sincerely say I wish I met her sooner! Not only are the haircuts inexpensive but she takes the time to give you the best hair cut I've had in Davis and she is so kind and nice to talk to as well. Highly recommend! read more

Good service, willing to work with you, quick, and reasonably priced. Been going here for years

quality and great haircut recommended in davis with good service and good price. The vibe in the shop is also relaxing

These folks are great barbers and very friendly people! I walked in without an appointment and they got me started in under 10 minutes! Very fast but also detailed service. I hadn't seen any barber put in as much attention to detail to my haircut as Lily did. It's also a mom & pop shop that ALSO has the cheapest prices I've seen so far in Davis... around a tenner less than most other places is what I would estimate. I think Olive Drive Barber Shop is the go-to place if you're looking for a haircut! read more

Customer service is professional, friendly, and honest! Layered my hair well every time I went here. I once went to a different barber shop where they gave me a horrible bowl cut, but this business was able to fix it. Highly satisfied for the price. read more

Quick and great service! Got seated right away and Lily helped me immediately. Overall great experience!

It's been some time since I've visited Lily but I'm so glad I went back! Awesome haircut and customer service. And what a deal for $20!!! Definitely recommended. read more

Great haircut! Quick and easy. Go in, wait, get your hair cut, and go out. Low prices too.

Got haircut with Lily. Very professional and gave me what i wanted. Had a long grow out that they helped make how i wanted.

Gave me a nice haircut. They take their time and make sure you like your haircut. Good experience and nice people too!

They are always super friendly and I get the haircut I like with photos I show them. I've tried a few different styles and each time I'm happy with it. If you're not you can ask them to modify as well. Will definitely come back read more

Went to Lily she was patient and very kind and friendly. Will come back. The overall vibe is very beachy and chill. Highly recommend.

Had a great experience at Olive Drive. Friendly service and good prices, definitely worth a visit.

A very nice place with convenient location and good hair cut! I can get ideal hair style every time I came.

Lily, her daughter Vien and other Barber always provides great haircut to me for past 6 years. I highly recommend Olive Drive Barbershop here in Davis, CA read more

Did an amazing job on my boyfriend's hair! Vien did a great job!! Please go here to support!!!

Went in and tried explaining how I want my sides cut and the barber (I won't name anyone) cut me off and just kept asking what number I wanted--not giving me the chance to explain the cut I wanted or show a video of a haircut I wanted to get. While still a solid haircut, it was NOT what I wanted. When brought up to them, it didn't really feel like I was being heard either. Nothing against the barber personally, I just think that a smidge more focus on the customer would improve the experience greatly. Hope y'all have a good one read more

9/7 update: After writing this review, I have read many reviews on Yelp and Google map and apparently, people are having problems with the shop owner, Lily. Therefore, I decide to include several screenshots from those reviews to prove that I'm telling the truth. You may wonder why I'm taking this so serious? Well coz I don't think this lady deserve to do business with her ignorant attitude towards other students like us. It is my responsibility to speak out and spread the truth to prevent other people from having their hair ruined and money wasted. (I'm an INFP so that pretty much explains why I am here spending time on writing this review) ---------- The original review------------ *This review is based the the true haircut experiences and there is no any bias in the review* I am a current UCD student and have been to this barber shop for a year now with probably 10+ hair cuts done here. The reason I'm giving this place with only one star is because of the bad experience dealing with the store owner. I will explain my reasons to you to show why you don't want to go to this place for your next hair cut 1. The shop owner (I guess her name is Lylie?) is not professional at all. She has cut my hair three times but she never did it right. Im not a super picky person you know but apparently she can only cut one hair style (I won't even called it a style tho) All she did was shaving all your side and back and spraying tons of water on your top and then cut it WITHIN 10 MINS. I walked in the shop while there was another customers being served by another barber. Ten ministers later I walked out of the shop with a super ugly hair cut while that barber was still cutting the guys' hair. Yes you aren't reading wrong, she would only spent ten minutes on your hair and charge you $14 plus tips for such an haircut. I could definitely do better than her since she just shaved all your hair with the shaver. 2. She is impatient and don't want to talk to you or try to understand your needs for your haircut (unless you are white) This just happens to me last time, she spent all the time chatting (or flirting?) with a married white guy (there were many people in the store and we all felt awkward that no one talked during the time they talked while she was ruining my hair at the same time) in the store while cutting my hair. This time she spent more than twenty minutes but she just basically kept cutting my hair shorter and shorter and at the end I almost became a bold. She doesn't give a **** with your hair and once there are white guys or other customers waiting, you will have your hair screw up 100% for sure. I wrote up this review based on my personal experiences for whole past year and I am totally done with this barber shop. All my words are true so I am not afraid being questioned. Although other barbers are nice ladies but I'm not going back anymore due to those upsetting situations I was in. The bottom line is: Just totally avoid this place if you don't wanna deal with those situations. Save your money and save your hair (oh and confidence)! read more

They do a consistently good haircut for $20. And unlike some barbers I've been to there isn't anyone who needs to be avoided. I've gotten a cut by all of the staff and I've never had a bad cut. read more

I've been going here for years now. The shop gives quick haircuts and always happy with how they turn out. Really beats waiting hours for some of the other shops in Davis that charge more. They're also holding a promo right now according to their flyer which was nice!! read more

I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant going into this shop, but the older asian gentleman that cut my hair was extremely detail oriented and did quite a nice job. He spent almost 15-20mins just working on my fade and I've never had someone spend that long. I'll definitely give this place another opportunity and see how they do again in the future. Thanks for the nice cut! read more

Overall, I think Olive Drive Barber Shop is the best place in Davis for men's cuts. It's $12 with student ID, throw in a few for tip and you got a decent fade for $15 which is a steal. You might be able to get a better quality cut elsewhere but since I'm not huge into styling my hair, it gets the job done. The barbers aren't super talkative, they keep it short and to the point (good or bad depending on what you're looking for). Usually it only takes like 7 minutes to finish, but sometimes it feels like they're rushing you. There definitely is a long wait on weekends when school is in session. read more
