    Great service! Sam cut my boys hair, we were walking around old poway and decided to check this shop out. I'm very happy with the results. This shop has great energy and the client before me left very happy about her son's cut. We will definitely return in the future.

    What a friendly, fun spot to get a haircut! As a guy, this is kind of the perfect place: 1. No appointments needed. Drop in! 2. Chill vibe. 3. No upselling or product pushing occurred (yay!) 4. Clean. 5. Sports playing on the TVs (not my thing, but I'm throwing this info out there because I know how y'all like to watch them sports!) 6. Skilled barbers. Very happy with the quality of my cut. Clean lines, even cut, perfect fade. Did a haircut and a beard trim, finished off with a straight razor. Love it! Felt like a million bucks after. Honestly it was the first time I've let another guy cut my beard, so was feeling cautious. Very glad I did though, and definitely enjoyed the process. Kind of nice to feel a little pampered, and not even have to deal with beard trimming in the process. Will definitely return. Highly recommend this crew!

    Such a nice clean shop

    What an amazing group of guys that work here. Sam is such a genuine guy and I always let him have his choice of my haircut. My son goes here as well and we will never go anywhere else, truly a wonderful barber shop with a family atmosphere. No matter how people feel about this shop being more expensive it's totally worth it, they deserve the income in every way. Get out here and get an awesome fresh haircut/shave!

    My son was in dire need of a back to school haircut. His hair is thick and difficult to cut. He also does not sitting still for long periods of time. They did a fantastic job and he looked amazing for his first day of school. The price was reasonable and he came out looking like a star.

    After Roy making me look like a professional with a new stylish hair style

    Roy has cut my hair a few times now and always does a great job. It is hard to find consistency and skill and I have found one at Sam's Old Poway barber Shop in Roy. Thank you for making me look great for my Christmas party.

    This guy doesn't know what he's doing. Left side too high and wonky. If you can't do the cut, please say so.

    My son came home and asked me if his fade was straight. Not only was it very crooked, his skin was cut and nipped in 3 places! We went back to complain and the guy just said "that's how it's supposed to look". My son asked for his money back- that was a "no". He asked for at least the tip back. Another shrug. We will never go again. I took him to my girl to clean it up.

    Amazing work

    The owner talks big and clearly should talk less while cutting hair because a blind man would have done a better job than him.

At the end got a warm lather razer clean up. Got the hot towel and slight next shoulder massage. Great customer service from him and the rest of the staff. Good conversation and good people. My suggestion is try to make an appointment for a cut because as soon as I was done people were waiting. This will be my go to place now. Will keep recommending this place.

    Great work Clayton, I appreciate you!…read more I've had long hair for months and wanted to clean up and feel good. I looked through some barbershops and found Pappy's in Poway. I made an appointment yesterday and got my cut today. When I walked in, I was offered a drink, some snacks, and a place to sit. Waited just a few moments for Clayton and we got started. I did request that we have a short consult before the haircut and I made sure I came early. They're pretty booked up. I asked for Clayton's opinion, he gave it, and I agreed. It wasn't rushed and he took time to understand what I wanted. And then he delivered! The shop is kept cool, clean, and comfortable. Thanks again guys!

When I arrived, my barber Jackson greeted me and got to work. Overall my first time experience was great as Jackson did an excellent job giving me a great haircut as I requested. He was detailed and precise in his work. I would definitely recommend this barber for their quality and service.
