    I cannot recommend getting a cut by Phillip enough! He listens to what you want and also takes into consideration what fits your face shape. He is very meticulous and takes his time to make sure the whole process goes well. He's also a super friendly and personable guy. Highly recommend booking his services, you won't regret it!

    Ive never been as self conscious as I am now after this cut. Brutal and nothing like the pictures I showed.

    Took a chance on an open appointment with someone who isn't my regular barber. I booked with JAC,…read moreand even from the consultation I felt like this guy had an attention to detail that was refreshing for me. I'm a very flow with the go kind of guy and just told him he can do whatever he wants LOL. It's usually how I got by most of my haircuts. But then this guy started asking me questions and I had to really think about what I wanted. This cut was after I had gotten a perm and I knew it wasn't going to be easy to work with. Honestly was ready to just shave all of it off haha. But JAC explained what he was going to do and why, and all the way through asked if it was something I was down to do. And honestly I loved the haircut after. It suited my face really well, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to style it the same. JAC, without me asking, explained what product he used and what he did to get the look. He also let me know which products to stay away from because they would damage my hair. Overall, had a great experience here!

    I've tried almost every barbershop in Downtown San Jose, and IMO Concept Barbershop is the best…read morespot here. I get a haircut there around every 4-6 weeks, and recommend it to anybody that asks me where to get a haircut in Downtown. Environment Professional, spacious, clean, comfortable. There are two leather couches, a coat hanger, and even a coffee machine there (not instant coffee - real, fresh ground coffee). Service JB is my guy at Concept, and he is not only skilled but he actively maintains me as a client. He documents each cut, familiarized himself with my hair type, and can consistently replicate previous cuts or make adjustments depending on what I'm going for. Usually I just go in with a vague request like "Just a clean up, maybe some shaping on the beard" and he always delivers with something that looks good. I'm satisfied with his work after every appointment.

    Baby's first perm! It's me. I'm baby…read more Booked the night before with Rich Hoang -- stalked his IG and saw he specialized in the type of loose wave perm I wanted. Came in with some inspo pics (Hudson Williams, 90s Keanu, Jackie Chan shag vibes). Rich was very patient and knowledgeable, he indulged my questions about everything. We made a game plan on how to trim and layer my hair and what I was going for. I LOVE THE RESULTS. It's literally the kind of style I want to effortlessly have but can rarely achieve bc mi hair soy super Asian (kapow!). I'm so glad I did it (finally) and looking forward to enjoying it. Highly recommend!

    This review is long overdue. Almost 8 years in fact. JJ has been taking care of me for as long as I…read morecan remember. It all started with a cold call to the shop / getting an appointment with JJ back in 2018, in which turned into entrusting him with cutting my hair since. This is THE guy, let me tell you. JJ is the most laid-back, coolest, most sincere barber I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I truly look forward to every appointment I have to get freshened up / vent / chat with him. My dude has been with me through thick and thin, life and hair literally. From weekly buzz-cuts to now bi-weekly scissor-cuts, he has always gone above and beyond to make my experience the best it can be. If you are looking for a barber in San Jose, please, look no further and book an appointment with JJ ASAP! You will not be disappointed with the exceptional service you receive. Thank you for everything brother!!!
