Highly recommend Manuel. Went in without a clear idea of what style I wanted, he helped me figure it out and gave a great cut. Super friendly and easy to talk to, very skilled. Great vibes in that shop read more

Manny (manuel) did a fantastic job, the skin fade is on point. My usual barber is no longer available so I've been on a mission trying new people places and things with not much luck. It took some searching but finally we got there. I am really happy with the results, attention to detail and overall experience at Parlor is 5-star. From what he said, everyone there is excellent and from my own experience book ahead of time online, space is limited. read more

Mattie has been cutting my hair for quite a while now and I don't think I have ever had a barber more committed to his craft. You can see the excitement on his face when he gets to turn an unruly mess of hair into one of his masterpieces. Mattie is easy to work with, easy to talk to and his attention to detail is unrivaled. His recent endeavor of opening a new shop during a global pandemic may seem surprising to some but it is just another example of Mattie's drive to keep furthering his career. The team at parlor on fifth have worked diligently to create a comfortable, welcoming and Covid Safe space where I always feel well taken care of.

I just recently moved to San Diego and Parlor on Fifth was recommended to me by a friend. It might be the best recommendation I've ever gotten. I definitely found my new spot. Making an appointment was easy. As soon as I walked in and felt the energy in the room, I new this was my new spot. Everyone is friendly and dope, but my barber, Manny, is the shit. After a quick convo about the style I was going for, he went to work and gave me a flawless cut. Definitely a nice guy and honestly, I think no matter who cuts your hair, you're walking away with a fresh clean cut. Walked in as a San Diego newbie, walked out feeling more at home then ever. Thanks Manny and thanks Parlor on Fifth. read more

Recently moved to San Diego and was on the hunt for a new barber. Came across Parlor on Fifth right after they opened. Booked with Mattie, the owner, and I can officially say my barber search is done. Mattie is very passionate about his work and it shows. He is a pleasure to chat with and provides plenty of comfort while in his chair. Shop was recently remodeled. Clean. Welcoming. I would highly recommend Parlor on Fifth. read more

First time coming in today , got my cut by Leo Tang . I'm from New Jersey so it's very hard to find a barber that can do a true fade like the east coast . I was actually really nervous or the outcome . I'm a hairstylist myself and definitely can tell Leo really put in his time and perfected the cut and the fade . I used to go to my other barber for 10 years but he started charging me $65 to just cut the sides of my hair ! No shampoo or style . Getting your hair cut every 2 weeks that's a lot ! Leo is super price friendly and so so worth it . I used to just wear a hat and go longer with my appointments but now this is way more price friendly and honestly way better then my last barber . The parking was super easy too !! Will be coming here forever !! read more

Been coming here for haircuts since they opened. I always book an appointment with Chris, but you can't go wrong with any of the crew that works there. Hands down the best haircut I've ever had! Super chill spot and a really relaxing place to get your hair cut. I've done "The Works" before and was not disappointed! Had Chris cut off my beard with the straight razor then was treated to a hot towel, felt like I was at a spa lol. Go here if you're in need of a barber but be sure to book ahead b/c these guys are always super busy (for good reason) read more

Jake Marriott gave me the best cut and beard trim since I moved here 4 months ago. Quality shop

Hands down my favorite barbershop in San Diego and I've been to many. Mattie goes out of his way to deliver quality service and a great experience. Mattie has been cutting my hair for over two years and I keep coming back because of his attention to details and always getting a great cut. The shop is immaculately clean, well done inside with plenty of parking. Great quality, good music, chill atmosphere and Mattie who is always working on his craft... read more

JAKE MARIOTTI is hands down the best there is. I've been going to him for years now. (And I'm only NOW getting around to giving him this diamond-platinum-five-star review? Yes, bad on me.) I always go for "The Works", which includes beard grooming, hair cut, the straight razor, hot towel, cold towel -- all the goodies. He does a superlative job each time. (Precise!) Also, sometimes I want different looks (different hairstyle on top, different shape for my beard), and he's got the skillset and eye and experience to make a slew of different looks work great on you. Plus, he's one of my favorite people now to chat with. A great person, great conversationalist, easy going, adapts to your style. Jake's the only barber/stylist/groomer I go to. read more

I get my hair cut by Mattie and he's the best of the best! I've been seeing him for almost two years now and he consistently delivers! He's not only great at cutting hair, but he's incredibly nice as well! Mattie really listens to what you want and works with you to get you the cut of your dreams. This shop is a beautiful new addition to the neighborhood. Good amount of parking nearby. I highly recommend Parlor on Fifth! read more

Jake gave me a great cut after a bit of an unrelated disaster. Glad to get fixed up and will definitely be returning.

I absolutely love Parlor on Fifth. The shop has such a great atmosphere and vibe, and you feel welcomed the moment you step inside. The owner, Mattie, has done such a great job with the shop. He's also a great barber - super awesome, talented, and always gives me an amazing cut/fresh fade. Two very enthusiastic thumbs-up for, what is always, a great experience! I did want to mention how clean the shop is as well in addition to the many steps taken to make the patrons feel safe with the current restrictions in place. Thank you so much for taking this into account and making the shop feel so comfortable! If you're looking for a solid place to get a cut in San Diego, Parlor on Fifth is it. read more

Best barber in SD. Matt's skills are unmatched and the shop has an urban outfitters aesthetic to it. Haircuts go for $35 plus tip which is a steal compared to the fresh cut you'll get. read more

Was looking around for a good barber shop in SD since I just moved here and I HIGHLY recommend this place. Have been here twice and Mattie, the shop owner is AMAZING. They're taking all precautions for the pandemic and the service and quality here is IMMACULATE. Wasn't too sure if I was able to find a barber shop that I would like better here than my home one in Los Angeles but this is hands down one of the best places I've received a cut. Look no further and get your haircuts here you will not be disappointed!! read more

Mattie is the Hair Whisperer. Every time I get a cut my wife thinks I look extra fresh. Stop looking for another barber, this is it!

This shop is amazing. The aesthetics attention to detail or how organized and clean this place is impeccable. It's very welcoming with living plants and some cool artwork showcased by artists. Mattie is an amazing barber and pays attention to detail while cutting your hair to whatever you request. I live how confident he is but it's not overwhelming with the way he cuts hair. I love that he constantly brushes your face to make sure you don't have an itch while getting your haircut. Also he makes up for great conversations about life. Did you know hay he is also a talented musician!? You will not be dissatisfied with the service and experience while getting your hair cut. I will continue to come visit for as long as I live in San Diego. 10 stars if I could haha. Thank you Mattie for making me look and feel my best when I come to get my haircut. read more

But since Covid happen, I finally decided to go to Mattie, after hearing so many good things. Mattie is super friendly and professional. He's very meticulous with his cuts and pays attention to details. I was very impressed and now I'm a regular! read more

Best place in San Diego for haircuts. After 2 years of searching for a spot I trusted, I was lucky enough to meet Mattie. Runs a beautiful shop, master at his craft, best haircuts.
