It can be hard to find a stylist who truly knows how to cut Asian hair, so finding Takako was such a win. Her skill level, attention to detail and care really stand out and on top of that she has an incredible personality. I couldn't be happier with the experience. read more

Book with JOSH!!! Josh has been cutting my sons' hair--one in elementary school, one in middle school--for over a year, and he somehow nails it every single time. They're picky, and yet they always leave happy (and looking sharp). He recently started cutting my hair too, and now I fully get the hype. Josh is quick but never rushed, up on the trends but with a timeless, classic approach. He listens, offers great suggestions, and just gets what works. Grateful to have found a stylist we all trust--highly recommend. read more

Jorge is a straight up professional. Haircut was exactly as described and looks great. 10/10 this is a master of his craft no doubt!

Never had a bad experience! Rachel does a solid job on my curly hair. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking quality results.

Edit: I was late for my appointment and they refuse to provide service because they "do not want to cut into the time of the next customer". This is completely understandable. Their shop owner later reached out to offer a full refund. My previous experience with Salted Barber was absolutely positive. This time, the shop owner showed how much they care about their customers which is extremely important for such a small business. I would give them another try in a couple of month and hopefully get as good of an exprience as last time. read more

I did not receive a cut here but my fiancé did - they were pretty busy and we couldn't get a walk in but he was able to easily schedule a time online. He normally goes to a hair stylist rather than a barber but this is the first time I actually loved the way his hair turned out right after a cut! Would definitely recommend for any guy because fiancé has lighter/thinner hair and they still made it work! read more

Many Thanks Josh For The AWESOME Service!!!! Been Looking For A New Shop To Get My Haircut Since Moving Down To San Diego And This Is Not Only Now My Go To But Highly Recommended. read more

I took my youngest sons (4&5 yo) to get last minute haircuts after having lunch this afternoon. I was able to make appointments online on the shop website, and 15 minutes later my boys were sitting in chairs getting trims! When we walked in we were greeted with smiles and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I was able to pay ahead of time as well, which was very convenient since my boys want to get up and move right away. Chantel did an amazing job with their cuts and did exactly the look we were going for, highly recommend! read more

Nick G is the man. He has done a few different haircuts on me and all have been great. Will definitely keep going back to him. The shop is rad, it's in a great location and is always super clean and aesthetic. read more

Joe left, he wasn't the most attentative barber. My new guy is really good and does great job.

This is the only place my elementary son will go to. He's particular about his hair and how it's cut. He also loves the pampered treatment when he gets his hair washed. read more

Clean shop! Ask for Jesse. Jesse is from NY, and has a background cutting actors hair on sets. He is a true professional, and you can't go wrong with him. He is super personable, and fun to chat with on just about any topic! Making an appt online using your phone is super easy too. Location is great in the Del Mar center right across from One Paseo. Parking is easy too! read more

I've got Erika second time and I wasn't disappointed. I've also used Chris and he is a pro. However I've had my first experience with other barber there and it wasn't positive therefore 4*. read more

Not only best styling/haircut since my pandemic grow-out but best cut in quite a few years, SD or when I was in NYC/Boston. Johnny is the best! read more

Great haircut! I have curly hair and don't like clippers so it's hard to find men's barbershops that have cosmetologists who are experienced in scissor cuts. Erica was excellent, and also loved how my haircut started right on time and ended on time! Easy to schedule online and great price for the quality and service! read more

Big fan of Connor. I followed him from his prior shop to Salted Barber and love it. First, the shop. Extremely easy to get to, loads of parking, bright and inviting interior, chairs nicely spaced apart, and strong drink options if you need to wait. Booking an appointment online couldn't be easier with Salted Barber's super user-friendly website, and there are tons of great lunch and shopping options if your significant other is tagging along. Back to Connor. This is my guy. He's very detail oriented and offered some of the best advice I've ever received about my hair. I've been asking people for years if they have any ideas and all I ever get is some wishy washy nonsense that essentially amounts to "whatever you like." Not only did Connor make decisive recommendations, he went to the trouble to explain in detail why he was making the recommendations and what he saw as the areas we could improve on my prior styling. No jargon, no fluff, just great advice, and I think my hair looks better than it ever has. Oh, and the guy remembers everything each time I come in. No idea how he does this but I need it. I can't describe what I need my stylist to do. I just need Connor to do what he does, and I come out looking great every single time. Bottom line is, if you're a guy looking for a great cut and great advice from a place that is super easy to book and easy to get to, Salted Barber is your spot! Go check them out, but don't take all of Connor's availability! read more

Initially I was a somewhat hesitant to get a $40 haircut at a barber shop, but surprised and impressed with the quality of the haircut, atmosphere, and overall experience. Convenient location in the epicenter of the Del Mar Highlands Plaza. A stones throw from Jimbos, Vuori, Dirty Dogs, and Handels! The "beach" design of the space is stylish, spacious, clean and comfortable. I was offered a water - which is a small, nice gesture, but adds to a great experience. The lounge chairs and barber chairs are very comfortable. Rachel S. cut my hair and I will simply say, "I found my new barber." Extremely charming, pleasant and professional with a great attention to detail. The Salted Barber is worth the extra $. My recommendation is to give the Salted Barber and Rachel S. a try. I do not think you'll be disappointed, in fact I believe you'll feel like it was definitely worth it! read more

Highly recommend Salted Barber! Great relaxing vibe in the heart of Del Mar with a team of talented stylists, cool products and exceptional service. Each stylist cares about their customers and works hard to deliver on whatever style you're looking for. Great spot and have been a repeat loyal customer since they opened. read more

Jesse is a horrible barber to get a single haircut with. Looks horrible and such a disaster without any product to which I don't use all the time!!!! If anyone is reading this, I want my 40 bucks in cash immediately and also if anyone is looking for a barber shop close by, avoid this place at all cost!!!! I am totally upset about how he did my hair!!!!!! I am going to have to cut it off myself!!!!! I also had a bad experience and will definitely not be coming back in August to see anyone else since I canceled my appointment immediately!!!! Such a horrible barber shop to get your hair done. I mean come on.... I showed him the pictures of what kind of style I wanted and he totally did the exact opposite. Doesn't he know how to do his job?????? read more

This was my second time going to the SB. Lee Ann did a great job cutting my hair I will be back again for future cuts. Thanks again Salted Barber. Aloha read more

Rachael is my new stylist at the Salted Barber! I am a girl with a short pixie cut and was hesitant to find someone new, but I am happy to say Rachael is great. I have now seen her three times and glad I mad a chagne. Shop is super cute and has a positive energy about it. Highly recommend!! read more

Great staff and location. Love the online booking and payment experience. Will be coming back.

Making an appointment online is easy, but in hindsight I probably should have been wary when this place had plenty of next day openings while competing shops were booked a week out. This barbershop charges premium prices and offers bottled water when you leave, but the quality of the cut was similar to Great Clips. I requested short sides and not much removed from the top, but the barber went to town on the top and left the sides mostly untouched for some reason. Near the end of my 30 minute slot, it felt like the barber stopped midway through the cut to get to the next customer. I was never asked how I liked the cut or if I wanted anything changed before leaving, and with the barber hurrying to start on the next customer I didn't feel like asking for changes was an option. Oh well, hair grows back. read more

Edited: thank you Matt for assisting mw with getting my issue resolved of not being able to cancel my appointment and getting hit with a no-show block due to work conflicts. I love coming here and enjoy talking to all the staff. Everyone is so kind and professional! read more

got the worst haircut in my life. it was very hard to ruin such an easy haircut, but you did it. I'm not talking about everyone, but the one who did my haircut should definitely learn how to do it read more

Got Jesse and he did a skin fade, wow!!! coming back for sure. The whole team is very welcoming and inviting.

Finally a great spot to get a haircut! This place fits the much needed vacancy of a good barber shop that is not trying too hard to be a hipster haven or a salon mainly geared toward women. Super easy to make appointments and great clean feel. I'll be taking my boys here to get their haircuts as well. read more

Great place to get a haircut. Classier than V's in Del Mar, but still a great cut. Rachel did an amazing job cutting my hair.

I got my haircut with Eddie and he's the best barber I have had. If you like short sides and a good fade like most guys than you should request him. My hair is high and tight just the way I like. I'll be back again soon. read more

Dumbass me came in without even looking at the price. They asked me if I wanted the shampoo treatment and I said yes, thinking it was just a normal hair wash. I knew I fucked up when they started massaging my head. Best 57 freedom bucks I've ever spent. read more

If you ever get the chance to book a barber choose Leeann. She is always in a great mood and fun to be around in the shop! She is open to start a conversation and to find out what you want for your hair! Go book her now! read more

Pretty amazing. Kalia did a wonderful job. The products used were great. The decor was relaxing. The music was relaxing. Will being going back. read more

I've bounced around different barbershops and salons throughout San Diego over the years and always felt my loyalty swing between cheaper but efficient haircuts at a barbershop, and a more luxurious experience at a salon. Rarely do I find a place that can balance both so well, but after my first visit to Salted Barber, I think this place has hit the mark for me. For those who are used to lower-end barbershop prices, the initial pricing may seem high, but for someone who has regularly paid $90+ for a haircut at a salon, I thought the prices were very fair for the quality of the cut, and the extra amenities that will be familiar to anyone who has paid for a salon experience. If you're on the fence, I say go for it. As someone who has worked in and around the hair industry for years now, I believe getting a haircut should be an experience to look forward to--not simply something to tick off your 'to-do' list. Salted Barber nails the easy-going attitude of a barbershop, and elevates it by offering you a taste of a true salon experience. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Awesome place. Way better than a chain haircut shop. Clean, cool vibe. Service-oriented owner providing a great experience. Jesse was my barber and he's a pro, very meticulous and been doing this a long time. Great for people who want a good haircut and a nice experience, rather than just a dirty $25 in-and-out that could turn out awful. Online booking is great too. Well done! read more

Decor 10/10. Cuts 10/10. Surfing magazines 10/10. Haircut convo 10/10. Overall 11/10. Don't miss out on San Diego's saltiest cuts for kids and grown ups. read more

Been there multiple times to have my haircut and everyone I've interacted with has been extremely helpful and nice. Haircuts have all turned out great too. Highly recommend. read more

Kalia was amazing, had a great haircut and a beard trim.

First time visiting Salted Barber. Very cool vibe inside and really nice people. Eddie cut my hair and he did a great job. He's a really easy going nice guy and gives a clean haircut. Definitely would recommend! read more
