    S G.

    I haven't left a review in ages, but I just wanted to strongly commend the excellent haircut Carlos gave my son yesterday. We have been to four different barbers in the area and the hair cuts left my baby with a little mullet each time because of the shape of his head ... which while funny is also distressing. Carlos was amazing and gave my son such a beautiful fade. We will be coming regularly. Thank you!

    I got an excellent haircut just as a walk-in. The one drawback was the price. $45 was more than I expected to pay.

    I'd been in Berkeley for three weeks straight, about two weeks past my last haircut, and the…read moresituation was becoming untenable. I was not scheduled to return to LA for several more weeks. We were having an 87-degree day in West Berkeley, which -- for those unfamiliar -- is hot for West Berkeley, a neighborhood where the default setting is breezy and cloudy and lovely and sixty-three degrees, the kind of microclimate that lets you own one jacket and never think about it. Eighty-seven degrees in West Berkeley is an event. Eighty-seven degrees with hair that's two weeks past due is a crisis. I have Asian hair. I've written about this before. It is coarse and thick and grows outward like a porcupine asserting its personal space, and my coping mechanism in Los Angeles was to throw $85 at a hipster barbershop every three weeks to make it stop. This worked in the way that all expensive coping mechanisms work -- reliably, but at a cost that quietly compounds until one day you do the annual math and feel ill. 2026 being what it is, and a dollar these days being asked to do about a dollar forty's worth of work, I needed a new tack. I asked an AI assistant for a good cheap haircut in Berkeley and got several suggestions, which I then searched on Yelp -- yes, the very Yelp you are looking at, imagine that -- for reviews. One thing I noticed about La Petite was that people mentioned Asian women cutting hair there, and the photos confirmed it. I had a thought, the kind of thought that sounds reductive when you say it out loud but is grounded in lived experience: Asian women probably know how to deal with hair like mine. This is not a stereotype. This is pattern recognition developed over decades of watching non-Asian barbers stare at my head with the quiet bewilderment of someone asked to solve a math problem in a language they don't speak. No shade intended, just facts. So I gave La Petite a go. You watch closely when someone new is cutting your hair. You can't help it. You're tracking every snip in the mirror, reading their hands the way you'd read a stranger's driving in the first five minutes of a road trip -- are we safe here, does this person know what they're doing, should I have said something three turns ago. About halfway through, I watched her take volume out of my hair in a way that hadn't been done in years -- not just trimming the length but actually understanding the architecture of thick Asian hair, where the bulk lives, how it falls, how it will eventually grow out, where it needs to be thinned so it lies flat instead of projecting horizontally from your skull like it's staging a protest. She knew. I knew she knew. I had my new stylist. Twenty-eight dollars. Twenty-eight dollars, and I walked out with the best haircut I've had in longer than I'd like to admit. That's $57 left over from what I was paying in LA -- enough to buy groceries, or three martinis at happy hour, or a pizza at June's, or whatever you buy when you realize you've been dramatically overpaying for a basic human service because you confused a cool neighborhood and exposed brick with competence. La Petite has neither exposed brick nor a cocktail menu. What it has is someone who looked at my difficult hair and knew exactly what to do with it, which is the only thing that has ever mattered and the only thing I'm paying for from now on.

    I went to get a haircut Friday afternoon for a special occasion and showed them exactly what I…read morewanted: a classic Ben Affleck Bruce Wayne-style haircut with regular-sized sideburns, just like the character. They asked me if I was graduating, and I said no, I was meeting my fiancée's mom the next day. Five minutes before the haircut was finished, the stylist took a big chunk off my right sideburn. She cut it too high, which ruined the whole haircut, especially since my face shape doesn't suit short sideburns. I told her I didn't like it. I didn't overreact or yell, I was just uncomfortable. The hairdresser said, "Too bad!" and tried to dismiss the issue. I told her again that she should have asked me about the length. She then took it personally and told her boss that I was making things up so I wouldn't pay, saying, "They do this so they don't pay." What do you mean by "they"? Not only did I feel dismissed and treated unprofessionally, but also disrespected. I was upset after the whole situation, but even then I was willing to pay and didn't want to leave without paying because I didn't want to prove her point. Plus, it's not that expensive. At the end, the stylist said she had 40 years of experience. Well, after this, it feels like you wasted 40 years and somehow skipped the basics of customer service. Not coming back, even after being offered a free haircut. I would rather pay three times what I paid today for a standard service where you're treated with basic courtesy.

The customer service, vibrant atmosphere, friendliness, and professionalism is high end in every category. I happened to be in the area for work, and I needed a fresh clean-up cut for the weekend & new month! Upon browsing on the Booksy app looking for late appointments earlier that day, I took a risk in booking with Denyll at this barber shop! In addition, I was quite familiar with the area along Solano Avenue & I already knew where this shop would be located, and finding street parking seemed to easier than I thought LOL. I was running a few minutes late, and yet, the hospitality once I entered is felt right through & I was acknowledged by the barber with the chair in front of the door & given a warm welcome - and said that I had a 6pm appointment with Denyll. Once I sat in his chair, I knew I was going to get taken care of. I explained what I would want for my hair, and his expertise shows about the essence of being a barber that stands high, above and beyond that talent. His compassion, skills and experience as an amazing barber is FIRST CLASS! He is dedicated to making sure every individual person who takes a seat in his chair is treated with the upmost respect and V.I.P. level of service. His amazing personality, knowledge of the craft, and positive vibes makes the overall experience......professional, fun and positive. Not only he offers more than just a great haircut, he provides a genuinely relaxing and enjoyable experience. The conversation is always engaging, making the time fly by. It's evident that he is passionate about his work & values the connections he makes with his clients. He sure knows everything about what it takes to make them happy with every single effort he puts in to make them all walk out that door, feeling and looking like fresh, clean and confident V.I.P.s Highly recommend to get freshened up by Denyll or any of the other barbers! The environment was chill, good music, and one of the other barbers (I believe his name was Mo) even offered me a shot & chase! Such a good way to end the work week, and kick off to the new month. I could see myself here again if I'm in the area - who wouldn't want to come back to a clean & vibrant shop that boasts an amazing collaborative team of barbers waiting to get you dapper'd & freshened up?!
