If I could give them zero stars, I would. First time coming here. Normal vibe of a barber shop. Brought in one of my clients. He didn't want to go short due to the cold weather, so he asked for a trim on top and just buzz off his beard. Since he is elderly , rarely get a woman's attention. Somehow she convinced him to just buzz his beautiful hair off. When it came time to pay, they didn't take card, Zelle, or Venmo. She sent me to the liquor store for the atm. Keep in mind, they had no sign stating "cash only" When I asked her how much it was. She said $36. Instead of arguing with her, I just paid it and decided never to come back with any of my clients. So, she ended up just buzzing his head with what looks like a 1 or 2 guard and completely took of his beard. In total I paid: $36 (buzz cut and beard removal) $7 in fees to pull cash in the atm $4 for tip - only because I took out $40. Total: $47 Do you think this is right? I think not. Never coming back. read more

If you're a parent of boys, you know that haircuts can quickly become a regular expense! We've been going to Rite Cut Barber Shop, and it's been a great experience for us. The service is consistently quick and friendly, making the whole process smooth. Plus, at just $26 for each boys haircut, it's a reasonable price. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable place for kids' haircuts! read more

Friendly service. Cash only. They accepted walk-in. Lots of seating. Quiet place. They are fast and my son's haircut turned out nice.

Hesitant to post...it's a hidden gem. They are skilled in scissor cuts as well as clipper. service and vibe is top notch.

I'm sure the barbers here are good and whatever haircuts they normally specialize in but I would highly not recommend this place to anyone trying to get a skin fade (mainly thinking of military guys). I asked for a medium skin fade and received one of the worst high and tights since the PX barbers in Okinawa and paid twice as much for it. Took the fade too high, zero blending or fading at all and it's going to take me probably 3 weeks to fix how my hair is blended up at the top of my head. read more

Great cut today from Tina. I've been a customer for years and have never had a bad experience.

I asked for a trim on the top of my head and ended up getting more than 2 inches off the top which basicly left me with no hair.

Excellent service. Greeted at the door. Wait was 5 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. Cash only. It's a small and simple place with a TV to watch. Kevin did a fantastic job. My fourteen year old has never liked a haircut, and he was happy. Very reasonable at $26+tip. In and out in less than 30 minutes. No frills. Great place. read more

I walked away satisfied but not ecstatic about the cut. I would say the cut looks great overall. There are just some things you miss out on when not at a true barber shop. The parking was easy. All the staff seemed welcoming and friendly. The price of 24 is more than the old pricing of 16 you see in the photos. I know everything is more but the other shop I go to is only $30 so it's not a huge savings. I walked in with no appointment, so that was also a plus. I didn't have to wait even without an appointment. If you live near by and are in need of a solid cut, look no further. If you want the sideburns evened out, the back of your neck razored clean and a little more style, this place is not for you. read more

The store is always welcoming. Everyone. And Kevin is the most amazing! Great cut. Modified based on request. Friendly great personality we love seeing him. And the results !! read more

They stayed open just to cut my hair, everyone went home the last barber took care of me.

As I mentioned to the folks there in February of 2021, I finally did move to Arizona. The 7yrs I was in Rancho Santa Fe, this team of skilled professionals took care of me pretty much every 2 months. I've not had my hair cut since my last time there in February. Sorry I never got a chance to say goodbye and again THANK YOU!!! read more

Cindy (Chou), is amazing. Being a former Marine I like to keep my hair short and neat looking. It's not an easy job when you get your hair cut short to have it fade in uniformly. Cindy, gets it right every time and makes it look great. Highly recommend her. Semper Fi Marc M read more

Many people have their "go-to barber" which is standard. People are particular with who can cut hair the way they want/like it. This is a walk on the park w/ Kevin @ Rite Cut Barber Shop! Type of cut: #0 taper fade w/ a #10 on top. Pros: -Kevin is detail-oriented w/ sure hands, dosen't mess up on anybody. -A #10 clipper guard exists here (1.25 inches in length of hair) which leaves the top of my hair to evenly comb-over. -The price is good for the quality of cut. Conclusion: If you're looking for a solid haircut that never leaves doubts, you know who to ask for when you go! read more

Great place to get a haircut for the whole family. Family owned and operated, friendly environment, fair pricing and great with young kids.

great location. good cuts and fair prices. I have been a customer for almost a decade and I keep going back. A truly local barber shop!

Cindy has been cutting my hair for years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She is the best!

Thanks Kevin for honestly one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. Great barber shop and great prices! Very thorough and attentive. God bless you. read more

Fast efficient courteous and always do a good job. Pricing is reasonable and never a long wait

Kevin is the best! He's super nice and does a great job! He listens carefully to what kind of cut you want, and takes his time to do it right. He's always upbeat and fun to chat with. We found this place through a Nextdoor recommendation. My husband has been coming here for almost a year now. Each time, he comes out looking more youthful and very sharp. Thanks, Kevin! Our experience is always pleasant whenever we come here. read more

Very rude and disrespectful. Asked to get my head shaved and the older male barber rushed the whole thing. Cut my neck in several places and left a large part longer than everything else so it looked funny. I made a yelp account just to leave my review because the guy did such a rushed and sloppy job read more

Chau and her staff are amazing people. While I was there long after the closing time, someone called and Chau's mobile phone rang. She said to the person on the phone to come in anyway, who wanted to have a haircut but it was past the closing time except me being inside having a haircut done. She then cut my hair, but the person who called was still not there. I asked if she was willing to wait. She said of course, she will wait. I was amazed hearing that. It was a great feeling that Chau offered great customer service. As having experience in retail, I would have done the same thing for my customer. I am glad to know that there are some business owners will go out of the way to help patrons with their needs. read more

Using my wife's account to post this. Kevin gave me a great haircut ahead of our wedding. Took the time on little details, which taken together, added up to a great cut. Cool guy, to boot. And the pressure was on, because my wife said she'd call off the wedding if I got butchered again. Clutch, man. read more

I'm a 61 year old male and have been doing the salon thing for a while and just thought this time I would try a barber shop. Tried to do one of those boutique trendy Barber Shops but they were booked and I'm glad they were. The cut I received was one of the best I've had. The barber (never got his name) but he spent about a half hour on me and his attention to detail was more than I expected. He used several razors and took his time ensuring all the lines were perfect and when he used the scissors he was careful to not cut more than I wanted. My hair laid right and my neck and ears were cleaned in barber style. Seems that I have been missing out all these years...highly recommend. read more

Came here for a haircut when I was working in the area. They were quick and the haircut was a great deal. Will be coming back regularly

I thought about not writing a review bc I hate to knock a small business, and I am sure they are nice people. But I went and got a haircut on a holiday from them because they were the only one open in Encinitas where I happened to be that afternoon. I just really wanted to get a haircut, but should have waited another day bc I had a bad feeling from when I even just called to see if they were open. Anyway, I showed some pictures of a low fade on the sides, and keeping some body in the back bc I had grown it out. She ended up going straight up the sides, pretty immediate. And I could only see half my head from the chair I was in and didn't have my glasses. Straight up the sides, no fade, nothing like the picture. The back, really bad and not blended. Top, not blended well from how she shaved the sides. The two worse parts for me:: 1) she shaved some of my hairline on my forehead by my temples which was not needed at all bc that is well defined for me and she did not ask, now that won't be pretty growing out... 2) I originally told her I don't need the top done, just the sides and any necessary blending. She told me after doing most of the sides, that apparently my top was uneven. I was shocked bc the barber that did my last haircut was excellent, and I literally asked, where? She didn't answer and went ahead going through my whole top and trimming about a half inch. Even worse, she then went through my entire head with thinning scissors which my hair does NOT need and I was not asked. I honestly think she said my hair was uneven so she could charge a full cut instead of just the sides. When it was over I couldn't tell if maybe it was okay, of course she said it was great. I paid, tipped, and left. By the time I was home that day and had seen my head from different angles, I knew it needed to be fixed. Today I went and had my last barber fix it. Now I have a haircut that I didn't initially want, but at least it looks like a purposeful and not botched haircut, and it will grow out well. And guess what - my barber told me the top of my head was seriously uneven!! She showed me and it was!! So then my barber had to cut my top even more to fix it. Very bummed with this experience. I'm sure you can get a good haircut here, but it probably has to be specific to what they mostly do. Never again. Sticking with the two barbers I know I do like in different neighborhoods and I'm done trying random shops, especially when my gut tells me no. Lesson learned, again... listen to my gut. read more

Had a hard time finding a good barber since moving to North County. Lot of trial and error. Jaime at this location, is the best I've had. Nice to have a barber who's priority isn't turning and burning customers, Jaime spends the time to make sure the fade is thorough, and meets my expectations I have each visit. I've been to about 7-10 locations since moving, until finally finding this spot which will have my business until moving again. Cash only, worth the trip! read more

I have gone here several times before and received excellent service. Recently went and received poor service; the barber lost her temper after I asked for a shorter cut on top and proceeded to buzz my hair and cut the back of my neck with clippers. Very disappointing considering I have been a returning customer for years. read more
