This is the newest and best barber shop in San Diego. I'm from Puerto Rico and I have pretty high standards when it comes to haircuts. I have been going to Jesse Vazquez since I first moved to San Diego in 2013 and he always gets me clean, haircut always on point with a lot of detailing. I have even changed my hair style a couple of times, I went from skin fades to skin tapers to combing my hair and Jesse is definitely the best all around barber in San Diego. Also, I have had the opportunity to see the other barbers in the shop since most of them have been moving with Jesse and they are all A+ barbers, super professional and up to date with trends. The Barbershop is super clean, everyone will treat you respectfully and it has a very enjoyable atmosphere. !!IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST BARBERS IN SAN DIEGO, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CONTACT PRIVADO!! read more

I have been going to see Viv and Javy for about 2 years now and I must say that they both are excellent at what they do. Viv is an excellent barber first and a comedian second. He will definitely make sure you come again and leave satisfied with your haircut and make sure you are in good spirits as you leave. Viv also pays very close attention to detail and has been very consistent with styling and haircuts throughout the whole time I have been going to him. Javy is a machine at what he does! He gets into it. His eyes roll back and he just cuts away. very professional and takes pride in what he does. Will be in soon and the new location is awesome and professional AF read more

Privado is an exclusive must visit Hair Parlor that is located in the Downtown area of San Diego. On arrival I located easy accessible street parking. The building is safely secured with required code to access, clean and welcoming. As soon as I walked into Privado, I immediately was acknowledged and felt welcomed. I felt No Rush whatsoever! I actually felt like I was there to just chill with my barber and hang out Haha! My Barber is Javi Ramos, one of the cleanest Barbers out here in San Diego California. Javi provides professional customer service, detailed consultations and badass Haircuts! Pull up and checkout the spot, you will not be disappointed.. read more

Listen I dont yelp but I know how yelp can impact a business and honestly help an individual that hasn't been to a business. I've been rocking with Javy styles for almost 8 years now before him I was bouncing around to different shops. Javy was a trendsetter back when we got start and he still is now! besides all the accolades and trophy he has, he has the best fade in the city no question. Javy I appreciate you and how you continue to get better with every cut if you're looking for dope vibe and a dope cut look no further. the boys in Privado are the best in the city and just happen to be in the same building -Steven Okidi Feast_or_famine read more

Alright this review is long over due!!! You can't go wrong with any of the barbers at Privado they're all top notch but i can personally vouch for my guy Ruben. He's been cutting my boys and my hair for over 8 years. He understands all kinds of head shapes to be able to tailor shape and style each one. He is meticulous, detailed and careful always making sure your cut is coming out properly all along the way. Life isn't perfect but your hair can be if you book with Privado. Very easy to schedule and make online appointments with him. Check out his cuts on Instagram @r_era read more

Privado is a top shelf haircutting facility! Expect only the best when setting an appointment, and prepare to have your hair transformed into something truly beautiful. My hair is incredibly thin, and Ive been contemplating just shaving it all off, but Ruben, "the artiste" that I refer to, convinced me otherwise and went on to cut my hair in such a way where I LOOK GOOOOD, and with hair thin af and balding like mine, its not easy. He truly is an artist with hair, and dont even get me started on his signature hot shaves.. they didnt call him Razer Rubio for nothing... read more

When it comes to barbers I'm pretty selective and I've had a hard time finding the right one. I live downtown so I've been to 5 or 6 barber shops and always found the barbers to be either "just ok" or they flat out couldn't shave my thick beard without cutting me up really bad. Then I found Jesse. I think he's the owner. He's the best barber in San Diego I've ever gone to. The only comparable barber is at the Montage in Laos Angeles. I think barbers either "have it" or they don't and Jesse has it down to a science. Cool dude too. read more

One of the nicest, comforting, and modern barbershops I've ever been to. Jesse and the crew make sure you are well taken care of from the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out. Jesse even goes out of his way to call/text me if there has been a delay or early opening to make it that much more convenient for me. I trust Jesse and the crew so much I don't even have to look in the mirror when I am done with my haircut. Look no further, great location, reasonable prices, friendly crew, and plenty of parking outside. read more

Been going to Ruben for a very long time now, years and years and he does a perfect cut every single time. Always friendly and nice, attentive to your needs, and will make sure you're taken care of. All the other barbers at Privado are just as great and amazing as well. As for this shop, one of the most comfortable shops I've ever been to. They got waters, sodas, coffee, all the drinks to keep you refreshed while you wait and chill in the A/C. Great vibes and great haircuts. Definitely recommend. read more

Ruben is my hubby and toddlers barber. He is such a nice guy. He always leaves my hubbys hair very nice, he walks in there looking like a lion and comes out looking classy. He has been his barber for 10 yrs or so. My son is 2, and let me tell you he HATES having his haircut, but Ruben always manages to give him a fresh cut! After a few haircuts my son has stopped moving and fighting it as much. Worth every penny. If he can give a screaming 2 year old a fresh haircut, he can cut anyones hair. read more

i've been seeing Teddy G. for a long time now, and he's my absolute favorite. I've had a hard time before finding the right barber especially as a girl going into a barber shop, having someone who makes me feel comfortable is super important. from skin fades to helping me figure out the best way to start growing my hair out again, Teddy's been great every step of the way. Even if i'm not the best at explaining my vision, he always understands exactly what I want. a top notch guy! read more

This is an amazing place!! Jessie and the crew are not only talented at their craft, but they also look out for their customers. They have good music, comfortable chairs and are very clean. The AC works well for those summer days and they provide bottled water. Jessie was punctual, respectful and even took his time to make sure I was satisfied with my cut. Make sure you pay your meter for at least two hours. Meter guy is on it!!! I give PRIVADO 5 stars just like the one TJ. read more

I always drop my boyfriend off here to get his haircuts. Sometimes I drop in if I don't have errands to run in the meantime, and they have great hospitality. Everyone is so kind and the complimentary drink is always a bonus! I also love interior design and this place truly doesn't fail with their aesthetics. PS. My boyfriend always comes out of his cuts looking like a full on snack!!! (Shoutout to Alex, he knows exactly what he's doing to make my man look fire) read more

This review is mainly for Javi aka Styles but it applies to the whole team. I've known and have been going to Javi for my cuts for a decade now. Not once have I been disappointed with my haircut. This is more than a barber shop. It's a place where you can hang and have good time. You'll feel welcomed by being offered a drink or a show of your choice on the tv while you get your haircut. This review is long overdue but better late than never. read more

Consistency is key I've been going to Jesse for almost a year now. I tried all the downtown barbers trying to find that fade that just feels right, but nothing made me feel confident until I found Jesse. He takes his time and makes sure you walk out of his chair looking exactly how you want to. He's patient and takes pride in his craft. Absolutely one of a kind and a well-kept secret in the world of San Diego barbers. Privado is where it's at. read more

If you're looking for a clean cut and a friendly environment look no further than Privado. I've been to many barber shops in San Diego and Privado takes the cake by a long shot. Teddy and the rest of the Privado gang are top notch barbers and passionately devoted to their craft. They are very professional, but certainly know how to have fun while providing the best cuts in Daygo. Give Privado a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Privado has a shop full of barbers who are all talented. Regardless of the hair style, type of hair, or even if you need it colored -- they have you covered. Cool and laid back atmosphere with plenty of parking. Javvy is my barber and I don't even worry about looking at my cut before I leave. 100 percent confidence in his skills. New in town or tired of your current barber? Give them a call -- you won't regret it. read more

Moving from the bay I was searching for a new barber and after going to a couple of different spots I wasn't really impressed by the cuts or customer service. Luckily I found this spot and specifically Viviano. Besides the great haircuts and lineups, his new spot offers a great vibe and you could never leave there without hearing some funny ass jokes. They take cash and or any money app so it's a breeze. read more

I was referred to Ruben about a year ago, and he is seriously the best barber I have ever been to, and I see him every two weeks. His attention to detail and ability to meet my expectations always amazes me. From his awesome fades and blending to his impeccable scissor cuts on the top length, he is simply the best. I highly recommend Ruben to anyone who wants the freshest look around! :-) read more
