The ladies running this place are great! Have been doing walk-ins for the longest time and have had a great cut here. Just know if you are doing a walk-in be ready to wait so come in first thing if you want a quick turn around. You can also call and make an appointment too. Overall I have been a repeat customer and will be a repeat customer here! read more

Great quality, lots of time and care went into my cut. I don't live near by otherwise I'd definitely make them my go to read more

Good quality and reasonable pricing. They do take walk-in which lots of places no longer do. The staff were friendly and know what they're doing. read more

This place is the worst. Sign says haircuts $18 and up? But actually it's really $20. Josie gave me the most disappointed look when I handed her a $20. So I left telling her I would come back to give her more. Shouldn't have come back cuz when I told her I thought the haircuts was $18? Mai replied "it says $18 and up." When I came back both Mai and Josie were not cutting hair. Mai took it upon herself to reply to me. Then I asked "what's a $18 haircut?" Mai then replied "that's a 1 guard all around." Lol. Then I said "Binh charged me $18 last time for a haircut." And Mai replied "well he gave u a discount so he could get more customers." Both my last statement and her last statement may have been assumptions. Binh is new to me and I haven't been back in a long time. My first time back with Binh I gave him $23 and the second time $20. Binh didn't give me a stink eye when I handed him that $20. I assumed and thought that haircuts were $18 cuz that's what I saw on the board. Mai spoke while her back was facing me but I seen her stank face through the mirror. She looked annoyed and pissed lol. Josie gave me a decent haircut but it's not what I asked for. I gave her $3 dollar tip for a fade when I asked her to give me a taper. Lol. I'm done with this place after my interaction with Mai. A couple days later as expected I get a nasty message from Josie saying I was cheap and never to com back. I will never come back. Here's my Christmas present for you. And hope you guys learn some manners. read more

They know how to cut hair. Simple. If you need something very specific, just let 'em know and may they'll be able to replicate it. They've been around for a reason. read more

Hands down one of my go-to barber shops whenever I come back to the Bay. The fades are on point and the line ups are crisp. Barbers Mai and Josie are flat out full of personality and enjoy communicating with their customers making them feel like they're their 'homie'. They're both very skilled and will turn your bushy head to a new, clean-looking person. Please be aware that they do not take appointments and that haircut are done through a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis, therefore right when you enter the door, there will be a sign up sheet to your left where you'll need to place your name and your preferred barber. Wait times can get long if it's busy. read more

Top notch barbers. Cuts are always neat and clean! I always get compliments on my haircut. Been coming here since 06' I mean I see all the reviews COME WITH RESPECT AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU IN RETURN! Signed The tattoo guy read more

I used to come to this place since I was a child and I got my first haircut here from Steve. This used to easily be a 5 star joint from me when he was running things, but unfortunately it's run down a lot since then. The employees are extremely rude and they only speak Chinese and it's obvious they're doing it to badmouth the customers as if we don't know what they're doing lol Also, one time when I arrived 5 minutes before they closed at 5 they told me they were already closing up and cutting the last people and I told them that's fine but if I came back tomorrow because I'm just getting off work, if they could wait for me and they agreed. So I made sure I got off work a little early and got there 15 minutes before closing this time and the same lady that had agreed the day before said they couldn't cut my hair and I promised myself that day I'd never return to this place again... They also proceeded to bad mouth me in their Chinese and it was obvious they were immediately joking about me to my face... I was really sad to come to this decision because like I said this was my childhood barber but without Steve there anymore running the day to day things have taken a turn for the worse. The employees are lazy, rude, and unethical. Please don't come here, even if Mai is hot af. She just flirts around to all the guys and they fall head and heels for her little act lmao this place is a joke now honestly read more

I will definitely be bringing my son back his haircut was so fresh . Josie did a great job‍. read more

Serra Barber Shop - I will definitely be back I really loved my sons haircut Josie did a great job ‍ - Barbers Near Me - Milpitas, California

This place sucks. Came here as soon as they opened and I was the 3rd person in line. They continued to make me wait and totally ignored me. Thing that annoyed me the most is that they let their "friends" go first and have you wait until the older lady is available. Definitely not a first come first serve basis like they advertise. They only let their friends make appts and cut everyone in line. Well jokes on you Mei and Josey.. I tipped the lady $30 just to show my appreciation. Her haircut wasn't all that great but I felt bad for her cuz it looked like Mei and Josey treats her like crap. Also Mei needs to watch her surroundings.. All she talks about is drugs, sex, and talks crap about the LGBTQ+ community. Do not recommend. read more

Easily the best shop around. Fair warning. It's a small shop with four to five barbers cutting hair at any given time. Average time for a cut is approximately thirty minutes. They're no appointments, however there's a sign in list to keep track of what customer came in first and for what barber. Mai is the best and you'll understand by her wait time if you come in. Everyone else here cuts really good hair. Pricey but for what they do I think it's fair. Been coming here for years! read more

Serra Barber Shop - Probably the best shop in town. It's definitely worth the wait. Ask for Mai, she's the best! Be prepared to wait on any given day. - Barbers Near Me - Milpitas, California

Great place! I've been coming here for years Mai is an awsome barber and Kim is great as well.

Great Barber Shop! Been coming here for many years now and they definitely take care of you and make you feel like Family. Soon when my son gets old enough he too will also continue to go get his hair cut by Mai. read more

Mai one of the best barbers in the Bay Area, hands down. I've been going to her for over 15+ years. She never disappoints

real honest review. Mei is someone not to mess around with. She knows how to cut hair and she does it really well. I hate having to sit down in a chair for more than an hour. I've been to many barbershops and she's just on par (or even better!) than most of them. She gets you in and out, while still holding a conversation. She means business! Don't let the other reviews scare you off, she's going to get you right. read more

So my boys and I came in at 5:30 for both of them to get a haircut. They close at 6, but had plenty of time to cut both of them. My boyfriend and my 5 yr old were ready to get a haircut. BUT we got denied. The moment they found out that my son needed a hair cut, the lady immediately said she doesn't cut kid's hair and kept insisting they're gonna close at 6 ON THE DOT. Uhm, what the heck. It doesn't take that damn long to cut my child's hair. GRANTED MY CHILD DOESNT EVEN MOVE MUCH WHEN GETTING A HAIR CUT. Rude! Doesn't make sense to me that they would reject our business. But okay. Sure. You're gonna get a bad Yelp review for giving me a bullsh*t excuse about how you don't cut kid's hair! I refuse to even try coming back here to get my son's hair cut. Seriously? Giving me a sorry excuse that you don't cut kid's hair! You had plenty of time to accommodate both my boyfriend and my son! It infuriates me that this business has the nerve to say they don't cut kids hair just cuz they saw a 5 yr old! What the hell kind of barber can't cut kid's hair? Parents BEWARE: if you have a 5 yr old, stay away from here because they might just be scared of cutting your child's hair! Rude rude rude. read more

I used to come here a lot. I moved away for a bit and came back and Mai would kind of shrug me off. I used to see Josie, she can cut well! After awhile Mai would take me on but always back burner me 2-3 customers and play stupid "They we're here before you, they were on the list" Why have a list when they aren't on it? Before I continue I must admit she can cut hair, I liked her cuts. One time i sat there for an hour and half while she took her friends in because they bring her food and snacks. When she finally asked me who I was waiting for after she saw me when I walked in, signed up for HER specifically and saw her check the list and acknowledge me. I get it, I do.. I'm a nobody, really. I come in for a haircut, I tip well, I'm patient. But I won't be dissed intentionally for a bunch of half flirtatious dudes that bring you Starbucks and boba. read more

Been going to this spot for a while, everyone is good and I've always been happy with my haircut. But today was just a bad day I guess. I got a haircut from Josie. Though the cut was good, the experience was bad. From the moment I walked in she already looked like she didn't wanna cut my hair lol. I didn't mind but damn she was rude as fck. Giving me hella attitude when I ask her nicely to do certain things. Mind you I didn't ask her to do crazy shit at all. All I asked was not to thin out my hair and just trim the top. But she was just really angry towards me like I ate her food or some shit. From then on she just rushed to finish my cut. I tipped her and apologized if I offended her in any way (idk if you consider asking nicely an offense) but she never acknowledged my apology and just took the tip. I normally wouldn't trip since I'm only there for a cut but damn I didn't want to let this slide. Tip: if you walk in and see her RBF, turn around and go somewhere else. read more

I am writing this review in regards to my boyfriend's experience. He showed the female barber a picture of the haircut he wanted (pretty simple, fade with enough hair at the top). The fade was too low and looked like it was lazily done. The workers at this shop were Vietnamese and he could tell they were gossiping about him. Lol. He ended up paying $30 for the cut. Not worth it. Unprofessional. Not very friendly people to work with. He DEFINITELY will NOT be coming back. read more

Serra Barber Shop - After the hair cut - Barbers Near Me - Milpitas, California

See all

Had a published draft on this sweet little spot in Milpitas. 5 stars hands down. Thought I would go back in to get cleaned up and called ahead to check the wait time. Whoever picked up was super rude and unfriendly- super condescending on the fact that I didn't know that there was no appointments available. I really love the people and this place in the heart of my hometown- but I cannot honestly patronize an establishment that is straight up rude to their local customer base. Will revisit one day to see if things change. read more

FYI I don't usually post yelp reviews but this place is way too memorable. I am generally not picky about my haircut, but I don't think this is acceptable. I did a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon after looking at some photos shown here on yelp. After being deated, I specifically said to her that I want 1 on the side and back, while keeping the top medium. I also said that most of times I don't put gel/wax, but when I do I'd put my hair up. Simple and straightforward I think. Check my haircut below and see if it matches what I asked or if it even looks okay. Am not sure what kind of cut this is :( Oh and she took SO LONG at least 45 mins with this result. DON'T GO HERE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! read more

Serra Barber Shop - She ruined my hair :( - Barbers Near Me - Milpitas, California

I had very poor experience at Serra Barber. I got there early to get a cut from Josie and I was the first one there. I put the name on the sign up sheet and was expected to get cut first. Josie showed up 20mins after I got there and looked at the list and basically overlooked the list and went with a person she knew. She said, "I don't know you, I'll get you next." The other person said, "he was here first so he should go." But Josie insisted that she didn't know me and proceeded to help the gentleman after me. After waiting 45mins, I decided to leave as I did not want to put my money towards someone who didn't follow her own process and someone who was flat out rude. I'd say if you are a regular- good for you! If not, I wish you have a better experience than I did. read more

I came here three times and had a different barber everytime and i must say that they are nice people but they are not good at cutting hair. Haircuts are $18 and you get a $10 job. My most recent visit. The guy seemed like he was rushing on my hair and left hella long hairs that i had to cut when i got home, gave me a line that i didn't ask for and gave me a bald patch on the front of my head. I shouldnt have paid but im not an ass so whatever i just hope someone sees this post before they decided to go there and ruin their hair that theyve been growing for years too. I attached a photo take a look read more

Serra Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Milpitas, California

To be completely honest I liked getting my hair touched up here but there was an incident when I was waiting and one of the female barbers negligently skipped over me to grab the next client after me. I'm assuming it was because I'm either female or that I have curly hair. Regardless it was very unprofessional. However I'm not surprised, she does seem to talk a lot of smack about the consumers in the same vicinity. Mai and the guys are great for the most part. It's just unfortunate this happened bc I really liked the actual cuts. read more

I've been searching for a new shop to get a haircut and I've finally found the right one! I made an appointment with Mai and she had me in and out within 30 minutes. I definitely will be returning to support this small business. read more

Horrible customer service. I will never go back. Don't expect a TIP. Don't demand a TIP. Tip is based on your customer service. Everyone in their is trash. Worse barber shop I've ever been too. read more

Mai and victor are the best barbers in the shop! Mai always leaves me feelin fresh! As for Josie she need to change that stank ass attitude she got towards customers. Being loyal to your barber is totally understandable but when your barber isn't in that day or on vacation and you need a cut then you should be able to get one no problem from ANY barber. Josie don't understand the meaning of customer service. Now I can see why most of the one star reviews have her name in it Lmaoo. read more

Not sure why ppl giving bad reviews about this place. This place is how a babershop should be. Everyone joking around talking smack. Fun to hang out. Those barbers do a great job. Way better than other shops. Worth the wait. Worth the tip to make me look good. read more

This place used to be a little better when they had the other girl. I'm not sure if she's still there. She was pregnant when we were still living in the area. We were around the area again and swung by. Instead of the 1 pregnant girl talking to everyone - both staff and customers.. now you have 2 women just talking to each other non stop. They talk about life, they talk about their personal lives, their dating lives, piercing their own ears, piercing other parts, their family, what their moms want from them, how they're rebellious, and they talk about the customers. Imagine nail shop staff. I know it's a sad comparison but just go with it. Nail staff just talking about you and your younger siblings and how you look and what you want. Saying things like "he doesn't care who cuts his hair so it doesn't matter who takes him and does whatever they want with his hair. He doesn't really speak up or say much at all. He'll just sit there." They take forever to cut hair and it's one thing if it looked like they were designing things or even perfecting it. BUT, one person said she messed up and had to fix it and fixing it messed up again so she just did it slower to fix it better and hopefully it wont be so noticeable. I just can't even believe we ever went here. The music was loud. TVs were on. They were trying to talk over the whole thing. I take it back. They didn't try. They did it. The place is a noisy mess. read more

0 stars if I could. Go here if you want to be made fun of by the barbers, specifically by MAI and JOSEY. While getting the haircut they were talking all this smack in Vietnamese. Little did they know, one of our friends came in for an appointment as well and understood everything they were saying and translated for us afterwards. We even heard Josey say "Be quiet, his friend can understand us". DO NOT GO HERE THE BARBERS ARE SO RUDE AND SO FULL OF IT. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND VIETNAMESE, THEY WILL TALK BAD ABOUT YOU. EVEN AS THEY'RE CUTTING YOUR HAIR. Taking our business elsewhere. read more

This women old with red hair I think her name is Rosey or Josey. She only cuts people she knows when I waited almost one hr she just picks people that she knows. She talk shit about other customers all the time thinking no one would understand her. She is the worst in here. Please don't get a cut here read more

I've been coming here for years and always walk out with a clean fresh fade/cut. All the barbers are skilled at what they do, but my go-to is Mai who has cut my hair so often, she can do my fade and line me up with her eyes closed (but not w/ the straight blade! Lol). Josie & Victor are also highly skilled and can be trusted to cut any style you're looking for. The also have one of the best deals in the Bay Area -- other barber shops charge $30-50 for a cut, but you can get the same quality cut/fade/taper/style etc. for a lot less $$. So when they take care of you and give you a clean, fresh cut... use some of the cash you just saved and show some appreciation with a nice tip! Keep in mind, it's a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis barber shop (no appointments) so wait time can be long at times. But it's worth the wait. read more
