    My husband and I started taking our toddler here around 1.5 yrs and it's been a wrap ever since. Every time we come for their haircuts, our son is greeted with toys to play with and a lollipop to keep him content during his haircut. Quality barbershop you can bring the family to, highly recommend!!

    Updating my review because of this sarcastic response (which I fully expected). The cut was alright, but I go to Patrick's now. They can multitask over there

    Woot!

    Needed a cut near this area, glad this spot was open PARKING | Plaza parking. I didn't have any issues. SEATING | Seemed to be about 10 chairs with 3 barbers available VIBES | Not too flashy in this area. It's a very local area of San Diego with a mix of small businesses and chains. The spot itself has a nice local charm. You see pictures of usuals thanking the barbers here, especially Ray. You'll see classic sports memorabilia too. If you want to catch a game, they got a a tv for you to watch. SERVICE | Martin was great! Friendly, professional and skilled! TL;DR OVERALL | 5 stars. I needed a cut and they were here to the rescue. Relatively affordable and very talented with the styles. If you're in the area and in need of a cut, come through. Thank you Barber Ray for the warm welcome, I look forward to seeing you soon! Tips: * Call in ahead of time to gauge their workflow. * Cash only

    Louie did a terrific job with my 3 yo son. COVID clean-up cut. Thank you! Ray's is still thriving post-COVID. Owners are super cool. They donated to our PTA. Stop by this established local/family business and support! Keep Ray's thriving.

    Brought my 5 year old for a haircut. Service was quick, my son got a great haircut with Mike and he enjoyed the whole experience! it. It's hard finding a barbershop that works well with kids. This place was exceptional. We will definitely be coming back!

    Mike was amazing with my teenager. Super friendly and great with my other kids. Will definitely be back!

    Came here to get my sons first hair cut and I'm satisfied the environment is super friendly and everyone seems super satisfied with their haircut. Was recommended Mike, unfortunately he did have a line of guests to attend which is a good thing. Was helped by a woman very nice and made sure I was satisfied. I'm hoping I can get Mike to cut my sons hair next time and give a 5 star review because overall service and atmosphere was awesome

    Best fade I've had in a long time 10/10 would recommend for anyone in lakeside awesome friendly environment

    Been going to this barber for years. Fresh cut, great conversations and walking out looking like…read morean Asian James Bond. i guarantee you'll walk out feeling the same.

    Avoid. Another barber/hairstylist who doesn't listen. Granted the hair looked nice, just not what…read morewe asked for. Too short, he shaved my son's eyebrows without even asking, and more than just a nic - Straight looked like a cheese grater to the back of the neck. Cut him two times and made him bleed. Ew. Argued, talked over me when I tried to explain why it wasn't what we asked for. Attitude all around. I paid cash, yeah. No tip for lack of accountability and argument. After I paid and left - one employee said "have a nice day" the barber / shop owner yelled out to me in the parking lot " no have a bad day". Ridiculous and laughable. I don't leave bad reviews ever, but this is me having a better day. Beware reader, I suggest looking elsewhere for less expensive, less confrontational haircuts like 888 Barber Shop on Carlton Hills Blvd. Go there instead, unless you wanna get Texas Chainsaw Massacred on your neck too. In response to Eevil T- yes EVIL indeed. I'm not sharing pics of my son's hair although I could. Don't try to come on here and look like a respectful man. I showed pics to people of your whack freestyle design. Ugly. The first time you took 45-50 mins- this time 25. You made him bleed., and you still charged us. Maybe if you would have not charged at full price and yelled at me I would have tipped. Couldn't wait to leave. And you did say have a bad day. We have enough gaslighters in the world. Be better! What do cameras have to do with anything? I'm showing a pic of how numbers can be different so that's a moot point. We were happy, then we weren't. End of story. Yourw treating this review like we are in court. I'm going to agree to disagree and speak MY truth. Would it kill you to say sorry and that's it ? Still trying to argue. Stop. You're annoying.
