I've been coming here for barbering for about 8 years now, before they moved to this location even, and they are the only venue I go to get barbering services. Great venue, awesome staff, and their service is spot on. Lucky is my usual barber and he's amazing! He executes with razor sharp precision and he's very kind and approachable. What I like the most is that he sets up off hours slots like 7am-9am, also on Saturdays and Sundays 7am-9am, and sometimes later hours in the day past 5pm, and this flexibility is highly unique. For someone that works 8am-6pm M-F and has weekends many times booked, for me being able to find a barber before work or before weekend outings is a required necessity. If you are looking for a great barbering experience, I recommend Lucky as your go to barber. read more

Had my first cut at this lovely place a couple days ago- Maddix gave me the best cut I've had ever I think. Really great barber- paid attention to how the references I brought and suggested what might work best with my hair. Looking forward to another visit! read more

I've been going to Heather Roberts for over 20 years to have my hair cut and colored. She is THE best stylists I've ever worked with, and such a warm kind person as well. She listens clearly to what you want, advises well, the hair wash is like being at a spa and she cuts and styles like a magician. Every time I get my hair done by her, folks stop and comment on it. Cannot recommend highly enough! read more

I wanted to like this place but I got a really, really bad haircut. I came in with very straight hair that was three months from a full buzz cut and that I'm planning on growing out, looking for a trim on the back and the sides. The barber only asked me two questions: medium or low fade? And have you ever had your hair thinned out? I left with very high sides and a shorter top, basically a flat top. Very unflattering for my face shape, even more than what I came in with. I couldn't see what he was doing and give feedback while it was happening because he turns you away from the mirror. My hair is straight and the crown was almost getting to the length where it wouldn't stick straight out anymore, but the barber cut it back down so it will for the next 2-3 months. Fortunately it's winter and I can wear hats until spring. I cried when I got home and saw my hair. I would not recommend this place. I can't emphasize enough how bad my haircut is and how little I can do about it, the only thing I can take away from it is to take it as a lesson in speaking up in the moment ("ummm..feels like you're cutting kinda high up?" LOL) Good luck to everyone else with bad haircuts. read more

What a great find! I recently moved to the Berkeley area and was referred to Maddix by the owner where I used to get my hair cut in Los Angeles. You can make your appointments here online. Once you come, there are a few parking stalls in front of the building that are free of charge. The shops itself has such a great vibe and a fun, vibrant feel to it. From the art on the walls, to the details on the barber chairs, I just love everything about this place. It's even dog friendly (for well-behaved dogs) and they have dog treats in the sitting area. I saw that Maddix does short hair so I booked an appointment with them. They did a great job on a standard haircut ($40.00) and did it so quickly which is amazing. I'm super happy I found this place and have already scheduled my next appointment! read more

I've been going to Kelly for years. I follow her if she ever moves salons. She's the best colorist, stylist, and will never let you leave looking messed up. She's more than worth her price. She can work with different hair types and can turn my natural jet black hair into a rainbow in one session. Kelly is the absolute best. read more

Timmony is AMAZING! I've been getting extensions and haircuts done by her for several months now and could not be happier. Very kind, patient, accommodating and tip top professional. Getting extensions for thinning hair has been a game changer for me. I've got my style back and my confidence! Thank you Timmony! You're The Best! read more

YAY, Nadia! She is one of my favorite people in the world, and a highly-skilled stylist. I followed her from her previous salon, and plan to follow her for as long as she lets me. WIth Nadia, I feel comfortable, valued, and well-cared for. Every time I see her, I am promptly greeted with warm smiles and several offers of tea, water, or whatever I want. If I am extra lucky, there is even a cute dog to pet. Less than 5-minutes after I arrive, she'll usually have me sitting in her stylist chair, patiently listening as I list all of the reasons my hair sucks (I am usually transitioning from one haircut to another, and I have dark red hair that has turned to dingy gray and has never accepted highlights well). Nadia responds warmly and with confidence. She is one of the few stylists that I've ever met who doesn't seem overwhelmed by my thick, frizzy, red/gray hair. Instead she seems excited about this next phase on my hair journey...even suggesting the perfect shade for my eyes and skin tone. She is sweet, considerate, and (above all) does a GREAT job. The color looks great, the frizz is tamed, and she always gives me great tips to keep my hair looking good until my next appointment. I highly recommend Revival Barber + Beauty, both for Nadia's skills and her excellent customer service. It is a perfect salon experience! :) read more

I had the worst experience I ever had booking and communicating with this salon. There is no one to contact in person at the salon and the hairdresser I tried to schedule an appointment with named Heather did not put any effort into communicating with me whatsoever. I booked through vagaro since I couldn't get ahold of anyone but there must have been some sort of glitch because I received no notifications or reminders about the appointment time. As a first time client the lack of communication made things really difficult. When I did spake in person with Heather, she was so unkind and inflexible with me I was left never want to revisit the salon. She threatened to charge me as a no show based on a policy I saw written no where on their Vagaro site. I was not a not a no show and I felt there was a reasonable misunderstanding we could've negotiated another time and payment. Due to the glitch with Vagaro that I was blamed for, I have realized that I was never charged for that fee either. I meant no disrespect by my confusion with the booking system but I felt incredibly disrespected by her reaction to the situation. read more

Kelly is great! She always does a wonderful job with my cut and color, and she's a delight to talk to! I trust her recommendations and my hair has stayed very healthy after months of fashion color. read more

I'm a non-binary person who has severe anxiety. I found Revival through strandsfortrans.com after I had a bad experience trying to book an appointment at another hair styling place. Timmony was so accommodating, understanding, and patient with me. I never felt so respected by a stylist. I'll never go to another place as long as I live in the Bay Area. I drove 45 minutes to my appointment and it was worth every minute! Thank you, Timmony, for making me feel more at home in my skin read more

Revival Barber + Beauty - hair - Barbers Near Me - Berkeley, California

Gave Lucky two chances to give me a fade and a cut on top (long hair). The first time, fade was tight/awesome. But he didn't do what I asked on top. Let it go. Second time, I brought a picture. Again fade was tight but he gave me a fauxhawk, not at all what I asked or showed. I realized now that he turns you around so you can't see....probably not on purpose....likely just his artistic way so the patron can be in awe upon completion. But my sense is he does what he wants and interprets what is best based on what tou tell or show him. All good. And love his creativity. But if you know what you want, it's a risk to go to him. He may get it right and it fits your taste. Didn't for me after 2x. Not a negative review at all....but just not a good fit for me. No big deal. Hair grows back. Just wanted to leave an honest review as it seems most people on yelp either leave some amazing or terrible...never anything useful. Just trying. read more

Today o visited Revival for the first time and I must it was a pleasant experience. I met Maddix the owner a very friendly young man. I felt great leaving with a nice haircut. There's plenty of parking and I shall return. read more

Timmony is wonderful. She gave me the pixie cut I've always wanted. Cannot think of higher praise !

I LOVE Revival! A lovely, warm space with wonderful people who are also supremely talented. I have seen Heather for quite some time and she always rocks the hell out of my hair (cut and color). While sitting in the chair during long color sessions, I also get to watch the other stylists and barbers work their magic. I particularly love watching the barbers do their thang on men cuts/beards/etc., with everyone leaving looking sharp! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment at Revival... like, now. read more

I have been going to Revival now for a few years and I can't recommend it enough! I have a short bob-like style and Timmony does a great job with the cut and color. She also knows how to cut my hair in a way so that it continues to look great, even when it starts to grow back a little. I always leave the salon with a smile on my face! I have been going to Revival during Covid and can also attest to the cleanliness and professionalism. The stations are always sanitized and everyone is wearing a mask at all times. read more

Lucky is amazing, only barber I trust to trim my hair. Although I only get a line up, it's perfect every time. It's the full treatment, amazing service, quick and efficient! The shop is very clean, not loud, and I feel amazing after every cut. This is the spot to go in Berkeley! Lucky is a great barber and knows what he is doing. No stress cut 100% of the time. read more

I love this place. Lucky gave me the treatment! And knew exactly wanted my hair to look like. It is literally one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I totally recommend this place if you're thinking of giving this place a try. I got: 1.) an amazing haircut 2.) hot towel treatment 3.) cold towel treatment 4.) and other things that felt super good. It really relieves stress. All the ladies that do hair there are talented too! I'm already looking forward to come back there in a few weeks! read more

I took my sixteen year old daughter in for a hair cut yesterday with Timmony. I was so impressed with how safe we both felt in the salon. I waited in their beautiful back patio while Timmony cut her hair. They took our temperature and the salon was spotless. My daughter loved her haircut. She is a very picky with het hairstylist and loved the entire experience. She will for sure be back and so will I. This salon is cleaner than my dentist office!! I took this picture when we got home. I should of taken one in their adorable salon but forgot. read more

I've been going to Maddix now for over 6 years and now I have the honor of taking my son there to get his hair cut! Maddix is the ONLY person I would trust to cut my son's hair, let alone my own. He is a consummate artist with hair and grooming! Each visit is a wonderful experience. Clean, modern and cool describe the interior of Revival, while the staff is always friendly and professional. George, my son, is so proud of his new do, he couldn't stop talking about it the whole car ride home! My son and I are "Revivalists" for life. Thank you Maddix!!! read more

Maddix is great! It was easy to make an appointment. The shop is clean and organized with great barbering artifacts adorning the walls. Excellent product selection and most importantly the haircut was perfect! Ps. Yelp blows. read more

I won't say much only because the first time I took my kid here it went FAST!! Lucky didn't even blink lol.. BUT 5 months later I tried for 2 weeks trying to book. I went to the shop twice I called and went online they just kept giving me far away dates and putting me on a waiting list. I would go to the shop and there's not even one customer there, while they are just chatting around. For a living I'm a manager so I think it's just a habit to get really pissed off when people are just standing around chatting and you have a customer waiting. Then put them on a waiting list? For the second time The hair cut my son got here was so cute. lucky does a REALLY good job. So no offense to him I'm just not taking my kid there anymore. Sorry P.s lucky go open up your own spot YOU CAN DO IT! read more

May last review was removed because it didn't have enough detail. Well then, let me elaborate; I am a restaurant equipment consultant, and while traveling for work my wife and I end up trying new places to eat and to get our needs met all over the country, but particularly in California. One large client in the Berkeley area had contracted us to set up their kitchen. While there, my wife needed a hair "treatment". We made the appointment and got there at 1:30 as directed. It was 3:45 before my wife was seen, with no apology or explanation. She walked out of there thoroughly disappointed and distraught at the cut and color. It was beauty school 101 failure-level stuff. We met my son and his wife and our grandkids for dinner and our youngest granddaughter asked "what happened to your hair, grammy?" Fast forward 4 months, and I'm back in town for final installation. I always treat my install team to dinner and drinks when an install is done. Unbeknownst to me, the boys made an appointment here prior to dinner so they could "clean up" and look presentable before going out. They just google mapped the closest barber and this was what came up, apparently. Sure enough, all 5 guys had a terrible experience with bad (yet expensive) cuts and rude service from the owner. We aired our grievances but to no avail. The owner/operator/barber is rude and deceitful. There's not a doubt in my mind that all these positive reviews are paid. We've been ripped off several times with no attempt at redemption. Maddix is a deceitful, morally corrupt person and his work is average at best. Avoid at all costs. read more

Made an APPOINTMENT over the phone. The person who made it said the stylist would want to have a consult. I explained that I lived on the other side of the bay and had a 9-5 job. She said she would have the stylist, Mitzi, call me to consult and confirm. This was last Wednesday. I left two voicemails asking her to call me. (Shouldn't have had to do that, but anywho...). It's now Monday and Mitzi finally returns my voicemails to tell me 1) she removed the block (apparently they lied and didn't make an appointment as I was told), 2) needed a consult and 3) the block wasn't enough time to begin with. Me? Incredulous at the super unprofessional treatment. And now without a hair appointment I tried several times to confirm. This is a huge fail on all levels. Bad communication, horrible lack of follow up and a receptionist/scheduler who doesn't know what she's doing. Sorry. But no. Just no. read more

I have been blessed with a very interesting and tough to work with hair texture: very fine and very frizzy/curly, so I have to be very picky with a hair stylist because my hair can be quite the challenge to work with. I am so lucky I found Heather. She has a natural talent for picking the right cut given my hair's texture and my face's shape. I can easily wear my hair straight or curly, and it would look good either way. She is also an a-freaking-mazing colorist. Just look for her on instagram! Unfortunately, my hair is too fragile to go crazy with color-wise, but I asked her to pick a color that would look good on me, and she nailed it. 4 weeks in and I'm still loving the shade she picked. Thanks for my gorgeous hair, Heather! You are awesome and I am definitely a fan. Can't wait for our next appointment! read more

The whole crew at revival has fabulous energy and talent. Mitzi is not only one of the best people on the planet, she's exceedingly brilliant. If you have clear vision of what you want, she can realize it. If you need input, she can create something new and exciting. I always leave Revival delighted. read more

My stylist moved away (rude, she didn't even ask me) so I was looking for someone to cut my curly hair. My partner goes here to get his hair cut so I decided to try out Revival, and I am so glad I did. Mitzi gave me a great cut and partial highlight. She has curly hair so she definitely knows the drill. I've now gotten two haircuts from her, and both times I've left feeling super fresh. read more

I highly recommend Revival especially to my fellow long haired dudes; go to Timmony. I've been since covid and they do a great job with safety. Reduced capacity and spread out services done fully masked made me feel totally at ease. read more

I have been seeing Maddix for a year or more and he has always been excellent, on time, professional, and fun to engage with. Pricing has always been super reasonable, and booking an appointment is easy. The shop is really cute and clean, and even has refreshments as you get your hair cut. I just had to have my first Covid haircut at home, while it will work while SIP is still in order, I miss Maddix's expertise so much! Highly recommended him and his shop! read more

I've been searching for a barbershop closer to home. I used to go to Slick & Dapper but I had a bad experience with the barber that I was working with there and needed to move on. I found some reviews and saw that Lucky used to work there but moved to Revival. I was eager to give him a shot given all the good reviews I had read about him. I made my appointment with Lucky. When I arrived, he was super friendly and very receptive to my feedback about what I was looking for in this haircut. He took the time and care to shape my hair just the way I wanted it to be. I often get barbers who ask me what I want for 1 minute and then just run off cutting, the end process often resulted in a haircut I wasn't happy with. Lucky made sure that I was happy with my haircut and then i would get the lather and straight razor treatment for a clean tape. Lucky is my go-to barber now. The service is great and revival has a really cool and friendly atmosphere. I also love the convience of making my appointments online. I would highly recommend Lucky to anyone looking for a great men's cut. read more

They say that finding a good barber is like finding a good doctor, and a good dentist, when you do, you know and you keep them forever. I moved to San Francisco recently and I have been struggling to find a good barber. Boy, I'm so glad I found Revival and Lucky. From the moment you walk in, its like been in another era. Soulful, relaxing music welcomes you and from there it just gets better. Lucky is a top notch barber, he takes his time and does a fantastic job. From the pleasant conversation to the hot towels and deliciously smelling aromas of all the products he used, from Menthol to Eucalyptus and Lavender, and the massage, yes you heard right, a nice neck massage. This place is a true gem dedicated to perfection. Thank you Revival and thank you Lucky for your professionalism and dedication to your craft. I will be definitely coming back and recommend you to everyone that has yet to experience a proper cut and shave. read more

I've been going to Dani for my haircuts and coloring for about 20 years, so I can't believe I'm just now writing a review. Simply put, Dani is incredibly talented and has a heart of gold. She and her partner in life and business, Maddix have created a wonderful community in their business, where their co-workers and customers feel valued and appreciated. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Michele is THE BEST!!! Not only are her hair skills magical But her conversation is wonderful. Such a sweet and genuine person who tries to make a your wildest hair dreams come true! Thanks for everything Michele! Also the shop is neat and has a lovely back yard area to hang outside and enjoy the sun while your hair is being transformed! Highly recommend! read more

I LOVED my first vivid hair color experience at Revival. As a first timer, I searched endlessly on IG and Yelp all over the Bay Area until I came across this salon and was impressed by the variety of haircuts and colors that are offered here. I booked my appointment with Heather who is amazing at what she does. I came in with an image off Pinterest of what I wanted and not only did she deliver, but she tweaked it to better fit my own routine, natural hair color, and how it'll eventually grow out. Since I've gotten my hair colored literally everyone from friends, family, coworkers and even complete strangers have come up to me complimenting my vibrant, dimensional red hair and asking where I got it done. I could not recommend Heather and Revival enough and I look forward to my next hair appointments here. read more

If you want a custom color, this is the place to go to. Ask for Heather! She's the best. I've always wanted to try the "unicorn hair" trend but was afraid it wouldn't come out right. After our consultation my nerves were at ease and we started the process. I couldn't be any more happier with the results. read more

Revival Barber + Beauty - Custom color done by Heather - Barbers Near Me - Berkeley, California

Maddix is an amazing barber. He's been cutting my hair for the last 5ish years in various locations, so I'm glad he finally has a forever home at Revival Barber + Beauty. He's always friendly, professional, and does a great job cutting your hair exactly how you want it. Once he got to know my hair, he knew exactly how to cut it so I can be in and out in under 15 minutes. Book him early because his schedule does fill up fairly quickly, generally weeks in advance. read more

For all your hair needs! Super enjoy the new space! Great vibe, awesome barber and stylists. Wash all your hair worries down the drain, let them give your hair a new lease on life! Thanks for keeping myself and my partner looking great! read more

I followed Mitzi from her last salon to Revival and it's been such a wonderful experience every single time! I used to have very unhealthy, dry, long hair but since I let Mitzi work her magic I now have a fluffy, voluminous bob. She specializes in curly hair - as you can probably tell from her own do! The salon's overall atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. It's nice to chat with the other stylists as well as Mitzi while I go in for an occasional cut or color. Though the salon is small it's trendy and fun. I'm excited to go each time. Would recommend this place and my stylist Mitzi to anyone looking for a quality change in their own hairstyle! read more

I'll start by saying - I don't care for my hair properly. I'm lazy and I don't get it cut as often as I should. I absolutely love Mitzi and the haircuts she gives me. The haircuts always grow out so beautifully and I get compliments on my cuts all the time. I have unruly, thick asian hair - and she makes it look amazing. The studio is bright, light and cheerful inside. It has a happy feel. There's plenty of free 2 hour parking, and even a cute bakery down the block if you're early and want get a cup of coffee. read more
