My son has had long hair all his life - but in the last year, he's been talking about getting his hair cut more and more. We randomly stepped into the barbershop one day and spoke to the owner, AJ. Nice friendly guy - very welcoming with good vibes. He told my son, when he's ready, they would be ready for him too! This is what stuck with my son and so when the time came of him wanting to finally cut his hair, he knew exactly where he wanted to go! However, I messed up with scheduling on Booksy. I didn't get my original requested barber, AJ but AJ was still able to accomodate us and set us up with Salt! Salt was amazing! We loved his whole vibe! Hearing it was our son's first haircut, he was up for the challenge without hesitation. I knew we were in great hands. Salt was easy to talk to and he made our son very comfortable on the chair. Boy, did he transform our little man to something brand new...It wasn't just a hair cut, it was a glimpse of the boy he is becoming! read more

Pure Hair Studios - A.J.! You rock! - Barbers Near Me - Benicia, California

My partner and I were left in a scramble to try a new barber right before a wedding and chose PURE out of convenience and good reviews. Photos of each barbers work helped us narrow in on Eric Laxamana, and oh my god, did he slay these haircuts. First he did my partner: I usually have to keep an eye on things when he is getting his haircut and give direction to make sure we get what is in the picture I show them, but I showed Eric two pictures, he did his thing, and Joey got out of the chair looking EXACTLY like the pictures AND BETTER because Eric also cleaned up his beard in a very modern classy way. Super clean fade, super even all the way around. Absolutely incredible. I'm so excited that I don't have to babysit his haircuts anymore- I know I can send him back to Eric and he will come home looking . Then he did mine next- all I had for him on mine was a really bad old photo, but he checked in to make sure he was understanding what I wanted and he knocked it out of the park again. I LOVE the way we both look. We were nervous about getting mystery haircuts the day before a wedding, but after leaving looking so fresh we are going to be customers of Eric forever . I don't think a lot of people understand the difference between a haircut and a good barber. Give Eric a shot and you will! read more

Pure Hair Studios - Barbers Near Me - Benicia, California

Love this studio!! Amazing place and amazing barbers!!!! We were in town for a quick trip and my husband popped in hopeful to get a hair cut and beard trim. Patrick ushered him right in and went to work. Apparently the barbers also went to wizard school, because my man came out much younger and hotter than he went in....and he wasn't the only one. Thank you Patrick! We'll be seeing you next month as hubby decided the three+ hour commute is worth it and so did I. read more

Best barber shop in the bay! The owner AJ always shows love every time I enter the shop. My barber SaltyCuts has been cutting my hair for the past 5 years and he gets my hair right every single time. read more

Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Joelle is meticulous and continually checks to be sure the cut is what I want. I enjoy chatting with him. Highly recommend. read more

Been looking around for a quality barber for a while and finally found my consistent place. These guys care about a quality cut and take their time. It's more than just cutting your hair but contouring it to your face to make it all work. Take it from a guy who doesn't really care, it's nice to have a barber that really does. They make me look good, take appointments, and don't rush. I'm glad I found Joelle read more

Joelle is great! He always delivers a quality cut with precision and makes sure it matches what I want. His friendly attitude and attention to detail make each visit enjoyable. Highly recommended! read more

A very clean and nice looking hair studio! This studio seems to focus on men's cuts but they also do women's hair and coloring! Their sign has the different IG handles of each individual. You can book an appointment on their website/Booksy. Omg and you can also bring your dog! I got a women's hair cut and reached out to Kimmy via Instagram. She's very friendly and pays attention to detail with her cuts. Will definitely look into getting color and highlights with her in the future! read more

LONG OVERDUE!! All I can say is Kim is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! People say that your hair dresser usually turns into a friend and a person you can confide and vent to. Kim is absolutely that. Not only is she a great hair stylist, but her bubbly, caring, fun, funny, and attentive personality makes you coming back for more...more rounds of beautiful hair. She will get you THAT hair that you desire. TRUST. I've been with her for at least 4 years already and she NEVER disappoints. She colored my hair to all shades of purple, pink, blonde, and combo of all! Recently, after 8 years of being blonde and unicorn hair, I had to dye my hair dark for work :'(. She specializes in color but she's versatile and can do it all! AJ the owner is awesome too. I never got my hair done/cut by him, but while getting my hair done by Kim, I see his clients' hair turning out really nice! The shop itself is really spacious and the decor is simple but very stylish especially the waiting area. The place used to be owned by a photographer, so you can still see some remnants of it. It's pretty cool because they use that used-to-be backdrop photography area also as their photography area to take pictures of your new hair! Parking is kinda tight, but it's free (that I remember). Overall, great hair studio &&& awesome and talented hair stylists/barbers! read more

Kimmy is absolutely the best at what she does - and she does everything! She just did a purple to silver fade on my hair and I'm SO happy with it. I've done different pinks with her in the past and I get so many compliments on the color each time. She outdid herself this time though. She is an artist. She really knows how to paint on color to make it seamless and make the color dimensional. My hair is so healthy too! I cannot believe how healthy my hair stays after being bleached by her. I look forward to each root touch up to catch up with Kimmy. She's awesome to chat it up with on top of being kind and caring towards all her clients. This to me is so important when you're spending hours in the salon bleaching and coloring your hair. If you're interested at all in adding some color to your life, let Kimmy work her magic! I get so much joy seeing my hair color everyday :) read more

I don't normally write reviews but I've been getting my hair cut by the owner, AJ, every week or two for years now and he's never failed to have me feeling more than satisfied with my haircut. Whether you're a new customer that is just walking in or a loyal customer that has been getting their haircut by him for years like me, you can trust that he will always take the time to make sure that you leave the shop with a smile on your face. I'm not exaggerating when I say that AJ is one of the best, if not THE best barber that I know and is always great to talk to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to get a haircut. Lastly for those wondering, AJ, along with the other barbers, take it very seriously when following precautions since we are in a pandemic and it's definitely a place you can come to and feel good about getting a haircut at! read more

Had a haircut and beard shape done by Joelle. Joelle is a very professional and sociable barber. He made sure to ask the appropriate questions when figuring out the style i wanted, and his execution is precise, with extra close attention to detail. A great experience and a perfect haircut. I plan to return for another cut in the future! read more

I moved to Vallejo around 4 years ago and it was really hard finding a barbershop I liked. A friend recommended me this place and I continue to come back here. The people are very welcoming very family friendly. Gets my cut right every time! read more

I've been going to Joelle for 1 year now and I'm so glad I finally found the one! He's the Jack of all Fades, I've changed my cut almost every time and he always gets it right. He takes his time figuring out what you want and spends time with you showing you variations before going shorter. He's always patient and takes his time paying attention to detail making sure you leave looking sharp and he's also a super cool and personable guy. I'm lucky to have found him. Shears to you Joelle read more

My son's appointment was with Joelle and he was extremely happy with his haircut! All the gentlemen barbers are great at (Don, A.J. Pure Hair Studio's! Joelle did an excellent job tackling my son's hair, Thank you Joelle and God bless always! read more

With the recent covid happenings lately I held true to waiting for things to open up before cutting my covid-mane. Also being someone that looks after my grandma on occasion - I really am conscious about the "covid rules" (masks, sanitizer, keeping distance, etc.). With that said I really appreciated the heads up from Justin that I needed a mask (of course I was going to be wearing mine), as well as hand sanitizer at the door and mandatory temperature check before walking in. Justin's cuts are always amazing as they have been for years now. So those alone are always 5/5, but Pure's approach to the covid rules are really appreciated. read more

Joelle is quick to respond, flexible (bro will make time for you as late as 10pm and as early as 7am sometimes), talks through the rationale and technique behind giving you a certain cut, and simply just does not miss. Been going here for a year with all sorts of different cut requests from shoulder length hair to lineups to fades of all sorts, and never been disappointed. Locally owned business with real hospitality that anyone should be happy to support. read more

I moved to the Bay Area from Denver and needed to find a new barbershop. Pure Hair Studios came highly recommended, so I gave them a shot. The shop is clean and has a chill, friendly vibe. I've been going there for over a year now and am always happy with my cuts. Don does my hair, but you can tell all the barbers do great work, so you really can't go wrong with whoever you go with! read more

Joelle has been cutting my son's hair for about 9 months now. He has been so patient and kind with my toddler. From the beginning, he helped with making my son comfortable in the chair. Fast forward, my son is 2.5 years old now, and runs up to Joelle's chair, and is excited for his haircut! Besides making my son comfortable, Joelle has great communication skills, and always makes sure he knows how I want my son's hair cut. read more

Where to begin? The entire crew offers a warm welcome as you walk in - a really nice touch. I also have to echo other reviews saying that the place is spotless and modern. It really is just a comfortable atmosphere that will put you in a better mood. I had my first cut there two months ago with Justin and will absolutely be back. He listens to your ideas, offers his own, and executes flawlessly. Overall he's also a really cool dude and can carry a great conversation throughout. I can't wait for my next cut! read more

AJ is an artist, wizard with the scissors. Was a random walk-in one day wondering if local barber could work with shoulder length hair, AJ nailed it first try and have been going back religiously every month since. read more

Kim is the absolute best. It's always so fun going into the salon. They're all so professional and are being extra safe during the pandemic. Staff is all wearing masks and they even do temperature checks on arrival. Have been going to Kimmy for years now and no one can ever get my hair this light except for her. My kids got a cut and color and we all love it! Thanks Kimmy! We will be going to her for our cuts and colors forever read more

Recently got my haircut and it has exceeded my expectations. My guy was Aj (who's also the shop owner), he's very attentive to what I asked for and made me feel right at home. The entire place is friendly and the customer service surpasses anything I ever got from any other barbershop. Highly recommend! read more

Man everything is so great about the shop. the Shop is clean, organized and spacious. Everyone at the shop is so welcoming, friendly and respectfu. Everyone working there knows what they are doing and more importantly are passionate about there work. But my hats off goes to my homie Joelle, he is so passionate and concentrated when he cuts my hair. He takes his time to make sure the haircut comes out great. Love going to get my haircut with him even tho though it's a drive for me since i live in marin but man it's totally worth it!! read more

The shop is clean. The chairs are comfy, The tv is nice and everyone here is always doing good work. Everyone always looks fresh when they leave. I go to see Joelle, I drive all the way from Berkeley for the excellent service he provides. He's patient when I don't know what I want, and I can tell he takes pride in trying to help me figure out what kind of cut I want to do. He has great attention to detail and always keeps my lines clean. He also knows how to navigate more troublesome cuts. I have a funny cowlick and sometimes my hair does not agree with me, he always finds away to work around it and blend it which takes a special skill. And most of all Joelle listens and he is funny. It's always entertaining when I pull up to the shop. I recommend 10 out of 10. Thank you Joelle I always appreciate the tremendous service, and I will continue to travel to the shop and look forward to my next cut. read more

Everyone is super nice and respectful. The place has a chill vibe and you feel comfortable in there. I've been getting my haircuts from Eric for about a year now and he's always been very consistent with my fade. He is also very good at lining and trimming my beard. I usually get worried when barbers in the past line my beard up, but he always does a great job. 10/10! read more

Great barbers. Wonderful service. Nice ambiance. Been getting my haircut from Joelle for years. Always does great work.

I rarely write reviews on Yelp, but Kimmy who did my hair coloring was absolutely amazing. I had a hard time finding a hairstylist who can really give the color I want because I am Asian and my hair color is so dark. Most of the time my hair ended with looking very brownish. Kimmy is a very talented hair colorist. I showed her a picture of the color I wanted and gave her the freedom to do the haircut and styling. We decided to cut out the old color part so the new colors will stay more consistently over time. She also bleached my hair and root separately and ensure bleach doesn't hurt my scalp. The entire process took almost 6 hours but the result is amazing. Not only she gave me the ash tone I wanted, the color gradient and overall look are so natural. I'll absolutely be back and have Kimmy style my hair again in the future! And I would recommend Kimmy to anyone who is looking for a professional and trustworthy hair colorist!
