Sean is a master of the craft. He has excellent skills with the clips, scissors, and blade. Today I went in for a mid fade with some light scissor work, and a line up. Sean blends very well for the fades and will add his own signature touches to your cut. He is very attentive to how you want your hairstyle and will check in with you whenever options arise (such as how you want the bangs to hang after the cut, lining up, etc.) A regular men's cut will be $25, and cut with line up is $35. Cash preferred. Thank you Sean for making me look human again! read more

I stopped on short notice and was seen in 10 minutes. Sean does a great cut, and knows what he's doing. He also charges a great rate. I think I'll be coming here as a regular now. I've been to a few salons and barbers and they can get pricey. read more

Sean knows what he's doing! After trying so many barbershops, I finally found the best one

I have nothing but good things to say about this barbershop. Always gave me a good cut for a reasonable price.

17+ years in this business fast and efficient and understands customers and what they want! read more

Wow ! Very impressive! First time in and Sean was very professional! Cleaned my beard up very quick and nice

Needed a fade in San Jose and had no idea where to go; wasn't able to get back to my normal barber in Chicago. If it wasn't for Yelp, I would never have found this place. My barber, Mike, was legit. Took his time, used a razor for the lining (and not all barbers do that) and was very cordial. Due to weekly travel to the west coast, I can definitely see myself coming back here. I was very pleased with the cut and the service. read more

Awesome fade. Attention to detail. Quick Great guy. Great energy during times of need. Highly recommend. read more

Great haircuts and great guy! Always provides quality haircuts at exceptional prices, Been going here for 6+ years

Sean is A Barber's Barber... Worth the wait... old schoolin' no foolin'. Be patient in this Barber's House. As you wait, Practice mindfulness ... we can get caught up in this fast-paced Valley. Sit quietly, focus on the breath. Or engage your inner Buddha. read more

Awesome!!! Say what you how you want it it's done!! Thanks Sean for the cut most def coming back

I use to come here a few years ago and I was always pleased. I came by today right after work, Down the street and I guess they decided to close 15mins early. I know it was close to closing but I really needed a haircut since my normal girl got into a car accident and had to cancel last min. I have an event to go to this weekend otherwise I wouldn't be so rushed. Anyways business shouldnt close early because it more convenient for them! Change your times if your going to do that. read more

I thought about the service charge and the haircut quality again and decided to update my review. It's still bit expensive side even considering the Pandemic but, I don't want to hurt local business based on any misunderstanding. Hopefully this place takes the credit card for any service and wish them luck. read more

Definitely easy to book online as it helps show availabilities. I was able to get an appointment the day of on a Monday. Just moved to the area so it was a convenient walk over. There is actually another barber shop at the corner, which I actually accidentally went into only to realize afterwards I entered the wrong one. However, Sean is a great and understanding business owner and didn't fault me for my mistake. I'll be looking forward to getting my haircut hear next time/month though! read more

Experienced and friendly barber who did a great fade for just $25 in under 20 minutes! I've been looking for a new barber, having grown sick of being shuffled around 'puppy mill' glam salons whose good workers constantly leave and charge 45 bucks or more for mediocrity. Sean was great! Gave me exactly what I was looking for, helped offer suggestions where I wasn't sure and worked with the speed and precision of a man who has 10+ years of experience under his belt (because he does!). Didn't argue with me about leaving it longer or suggest unwanted tips to make it look 'more feminine' as I usually have to struggle with at other places. He wore a mask, which I appreciated. Regardless of where you stand on COVID, I like barbers who mask up because - honestly, if you're going to be leaning in and breathing on me for 20+ minutes while you work, I like the shield from ANY potential germs! The one negative comment about the price seems CRAZY to me, because big salons charge double what Sean did. I looked up the pricing beforehand and brought 40$ cash and let him have the whole thing in tip, because that's usually what I'm charged anyway. At the time of writing, his salon is doing some expansion/construction, so I don't recommend trying a walk-in, as it's pretty much just him there from what I can tell. Call ahead to make an appointment, and ring again if he doesn't pick up. read more

I was surprised by the setup here, for haircuts there's just a single chair in a small portion of a large floorspace that has a bunch of other grooming services available. The haircutter was a woman who kept falling over herself and leaning on me for support. :/ very uncomfortable. She went over my scalp with a hair trimmer very roughly in what seemed to me like 50-60 passes. The same was repeated with a beard trimmer for my face. I ended up feeling like a sheep at the shearing pen. If this was my only option, I'd prefer cutting my own hair in front of the mirror at home. Avoid at all costs. read more

The barber did an amazing job and a clean fade. He is very efficient and the time to cut is quick and nice!

Despite the stereotypes, mama Sean pulled through- her English may not be great, but her haircuts are! It's silly that there's all these dudes waiting (about 8 of them) for Sean when his mother can give you an excellent fade and a line up in under 20 min, with little to no line.. I came in wanting a classic fade and a line: for $18+(4 for the line) and left with EXACTLY what I wanted. Now that's how a barber shop should be! read more

I been in Bay Area for about a week. I read the reviews on Sean and decided to give him a try. He is really good. I have a couple bald spots in the front and he made it even all the way around. Most people can only cut one way. I watched him cut every hair different and to their head/style. I would recommend him to anybody. See ya next week. Wade read more

DO NOT BOOK WITH ANNIE!!!! She did not listen to what we wanted and shaved his head. We told her long at the top and shorter in the back. She buzzed his whole head the same length. We didn't have time to protest because by the time we realized what she was doing her clippers had already passed over the top of his head. read more

A kid and a dad got a hair cut (high n tight shaved) Came out to 38$. Never coming back. read more

Been cutting my own hair all of my life. But was running late to an event and really needed a quick cut. Found Sean on line because he is less than 10 mins from my house. Sean took me as a walk-in on a Friday night. He faded my hair, lined me up with a razor blade and it looked sweet. All of this in less than 20 minutes. He talked to me the whole time, made sure I was ok with each thing he was doing to my head. Seems like he really cares, knows hair and so forth. I will be back. I paid $20 plus tip. Only $1 a minute, I saw many comments about pricing you all need to pay by time/difficulty not based on head size. It was worth every penny to me and I had the option of cutting it for free. read more

The lady had to deal with my friend's African hair that is hard to deal with, but she had a lot of patience and made out day. Thank you!

I went here on a limb because of the pictures on yelp. As a black guy coming to a new place, I'm always wary when trying new places. The last thing I need is someone messing up my hairline. I'm not out here trying to look like Lebron before his hairline magically came back. Anyways, Sean is a pretty chill dude and the prices are fair as well. And he does a pretty mean fade. read more

Angelo was my barber and he gave me a great #2 bald fade. The haircut was perfectly done as I expected. The shop atmosphere was pretty nice and chill. read more

Sean is my go-to barber. Pricing is fair and he'll cut your hair how you want it. Shop is ran by him and his mom (I've only had her cut me once but she wasn't bad either). The only downside is that he doesn't do appointments and there are random times when his shop is closed or the phone isn't answered so I don't know if the shop is open or not. read more

I went in at 9.15 on a Saturday (since I didn't have my salon professional academy). There were 3 people in front of me. It took me around 40 minutes of waiting (not bad). And I sit on the chair, the lady says "No card.. only cash" and when I tried asking her again she was like "NO!". Was not even friendly enough for me to think of other options. Luckily I had cash. The cut was decent, but she was very reluctant to use scissors. In the previous 3 haircuts she did, I did not see her use scissors. It was all using trimmer.. BOOM.. BOOM.. BOOM.. and out in 10 mins. My hair requirements are simple nothing fancy. I have always been charged the base price(If they say the cut starts from 15+ I will always be charged 15). She charged me $18 (base was 15). No hair wash. nothing.. and with $18 this is not a true "$" yelp place. Will not go back. read more

After my dreadful experience at "Mr. T's" Barber shop, I had to follow up with another haircut to get my hair fixed after the butchering. I happened to come across this barber shop on yelp and decided to give it a try. OH MY GOD! I think I have found "The One barber to rule them all". Sean is the definition of a great barber. FIRST time in my LIFE I was actually pleased with my hair cut!!! He gave me a warm welcome and we introduced ourselves to each other. During the haircut we had a good conversation. He was funny and down to earth! He explained to me what he was doing every step of the way, which made the haircut really educational for me and gave me a sense comfort. He takes time to really look at your hair before jumping in. Sean definitely stands out from all the other barbers with he's outstanding customer service. Overall I had a GREAT experience, I would go as far as to say that it was my BEST experience yet, he really made me happy and put a smile on my face. I feel more confident walking around with a great hair cut and get a lot of compliments. Without a doubt, I will be coming here from now on! read more

My son likes getting designs in his haircut, and it's been hard finding a place that does them. We called Sean's to ask, and when we found out Sean does designs, we drove straight over. My son wanted an elaborate Golden State Warriors logo, and I figured it would be way too complicated. Sean took a look and made it happen. My son has a hard time sitting still through haircuts but Sean was patient and kept a smile on his face. He also checked with my son throughout the cut that the design looked the way he wanted it to. The design looks great and I put up a photo of it, so take a look! read more

Sean's Barber Shop - My son went into the shop, showed Sean an image on the phone of what he wanted, and Sean did an amazing job! - Barbers Near Me - Santa Clara, California

You would not expect much from a small shop on the side of stores you would probably never visit. Sean was on lunch when I showed up and who I found out later was her mom greeted me with a warm smile and said her son would be back. Sean shows up and given the referral from my previous co-worker I was excited to see what he could do. Sean was hilarious, he talked about his family, and gave me wisdom. You can not believe how hard working this guy is. His ability to multitask was great and his customer service was superior as he asked me through each step of my hair cut how I liked it. I went for a 1.5 on the top, mid bald razor fade, and lined up and was not disappointed. Overall the cut was excellent, I spent maybe 45 minutes and there was not wait time. I still recommend calling in advance because Sean did mention he can get busy or not be at the store due to conflicting work schedules. Overall Sean was an amazing barber and I appreciated his hair cut. Usually I spend anywhere from $20-25 for a hair cut but at $15+2 tip. This place was banging for the money. Definitely a $25 quality cut for your weekly hair fixup. I dn't know about you but $32 a month is serious $$$ Great place, I will be back as you should check him out read more

I be a regular customer for 2 years, ones a month and always left happy Sean have a great customer service and they make sure u get u haircut the way u like it; i referring all mi friends to him read more

Sean's fantastic. He asks you exactly what you want and delivers it every time. Great shop.

Took my son. Efficient haircut and good skill. My son got a short cut and those can make it harder to hide errors but in this case it was well done. Minus one star for the sign stating they take cash only and for charging $18 for kids' haircuts. Kids' haircuts should cost no more than $12-$15. I can see charging $18 in a high rent area like Palo Alto. But in Santa Clara that's unacceptable. read more

I saw the good reviews here and decided to find myself a reliable barber after I moved into the area recently. Bitterly disappointed. I see that the reviews are good for Sean himself but he wasn't available when I went in. The lady that cut my hair did a bad job. Her cutting skill itself is good and uniform but she has no sense of how a cut would look on a particular person. I'd asked for a particular cut since I know my hair and how it'd look but she proceeded to cut in the way she thought would be best. At the end of it, the cut looks terrible for a $18 cut. If your hair is extremely good and won't affect your look much if it's not exactly how you want it, I'd recommend the place. Otherwise, if your hair needs are particular, this isn't the place. Perhaps Shaun might be, but I wouldn't know since he didn't cut my hair and I don't intend on going back again to find out. read more

First time here, I showed a picture of what I wanted and it came out perfect. He explained that my sons hair is a little shorter than the picture but he made it work. I thought it was going to take a while because my sons hair was pretty wild but he was extremely fast and efficient. We will be back! read more

Look no further. Sean is the best barber you can ever have. He will exceed you're expectations. I've been coming here for 3 years now. Sean will ask you thorough questions on what you want in a hair cut before he starts to cut. He will explain what he's doing as he goes along. You can either sit there or you can talk to him. He's a great down to earth guy. I moved a distance away from his shop but I still come here because he truly takes care of his clients. read more
