I've been going to the same salon for years and my son wanted to try a Barber. I walk by this spot almost daily and I've been greeted several times with a "Hey, what's up " or "Hows it going" every time. Feeling thee good Hayward vibe I made an appointment for the boy. My son doesn't like new experiences (which I'm trying to change) but after 10 minutes or so of Jack's easy demeanor and his fun lovIng attitude, my kid was enjoying himself. The Barbershop experience. When he got out of the chair, I know a good fade when I see one and I was like "DAMN!!!" putting me in the dilemma of loyalty to my lady stylist vs. I want a tight haircut. We like to rib my kid about his hesitance and not trying new and as soon as he got outside said "This is my new Spot!!!" He's been in front of the mirror, adoring himself and is feeling pretty confident for his first dance. read more

Great service and a wonderful haircut from Jack. I would highly reccomend Jack for a classic hairstyle with flair. read more

Studio One Barber - Barbers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Jack is a fantastic barber at a great price. When I moved to Hayward it took me awhile to find someone I could really trust- I was literally driving to Sunnyvale to have my former barber cut my hair, and had been doing that for another three years while I lived in Millbrae- the point is I don't have a lot of trust when it comes to barbers, so when I say that Jack is a fantastic barber that should mean something. One word of warning though is that he does keep a schedule- if you show up late he will likely ask you to come back later or to reschedule rather than delay other customers who are on time. He isn't rude about it, but he is strict about it. On the positive side this also means you can be pretty sure that your appointment will be on time. read more

Jack was great. He was quick but didn't rush anything. He also sought to understand what i wanted while providing feedback to explain potential issues with my selection based on my type of hair and whether he recommends a slight modification to my request. Anyways, he did great and I was extremely satisfied with the technical outcome (the lines, the fade, the way he blended the neck, etc) of the haircut and, of course, the look. I'm really glad I gave this place a try. I just moved to the area and it's always stressful finding a new place to trust with your appearance. I'll be coming back here for sure. read more

A picture is worth a thousand words. Jack is great- he is warm, personable and puts great attention to detail. He will take good care of you. He is an artist and he is committed to creating the look you are going for. He is not just good at shaping your hair and cutting, he is also great at styling and can share tips and advice with you. He cares about happy costumers and will do everything he can so that you walk out more than satisfied. I highly recommend him! read more

Jack is hands down the best barber I know. I'm not gonna sing his praises too much here since the results speak for itselr. If what you're looking for is a top of the line A++ quality service, look no further! pro tip: Bring cash, schedule your appoinment before you need a cut, and be clear and make sure you tell Jack exactly what services you'll need so that he can make time for you. read more

I have been coming to Jack for the past two to three years for hair and beard trims/cuts. The quality of his work is top-notch compared with other barbers. Jack treats his customers very well, almost like family. I love the fact that I can schedule an appointment and not wait in ridiculous lines like, at other barbers, time is money. Parking is also great, there is a ton of parking right across in the dominos parking lot, 500 feet away, and you can catch a street spot in front of the shop on the weekdays if you like street parking. I have had many great conversations and good laughs at his shop. If you're looking for a 10 dollar cheap haircut, go somewhere else, but if you're looking for a professional, Jack is the man for the job. read more

I went in shaggy & came out looking sharper than a mosquito's dick. Jack is a popular guy. I got lucky with a walk-in at the start of his day, but he's in demand & the phone rings off the hook. Call ahead and make an appointment, he's worth it. I was impressed with Jack's attention to detail. In a world of too many places that can't get you out of the chair fast enough, a meticulous barber is a real find. Jack takes the time to make sure you get what you want, and tailors the cut to fit the shape of your head & sense of style. No cookie cutter buzz cuts here. Jack's skill is a throwback to an earlier age. You're guaranteed to leave here feeling like a man. If you've got a job interview, or you're asking your boss for a raise, or if you're hunting big game or writing the great American novel, a haircut from Jack will give you that boost of self-confidence to put you over the top and get the job done. In my case, I went straight home and sired twins. I'm gonna name one of them after Jack. read more

Studio One Barber - Mid-bald fade with a cut-in part. Jack will hook you up. - Barbers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Man, I finally found my barber. I was tortured for years with "Almost There" cuts. Found him thru yelp was lucky to get an opening for the time I drive home from work (Berkeley to Fremont ) he's so nice professional, and so detail oriented. Not rushing nor compromise details , very safe and warning you when not to move so you won't cut yourself. A great man to talk to just about anything. The sharpest cut I got since I got to the bay area 11 years ago. Already booked my next appointment read more

If you have ever been to a master hair stylist you know what a great haircut is really like. I needed to find a new hair stylist and all the good ones in the area are booked, so I settled on Studio One. I've never been happy with the haircuts, they were inconsistent, sometimes borderline OK, and other times a pure hack job. I'm at an age where I'm not so vain anymore, but still I want a decent haircut. The thing that made me ditch Studio One is I was stood up, not once, but for two appointments I made - I might have given a few stars, but showing-up for an appointment only to find the place closed is beyond annoying, unprofessional and inexcusable especially since I got no phone calls explaining why. read more

This is a very new business that opened August 15, 2013. Mr. Jack Perez owns the shop and is a gifted barber. I walked in with my Beloved and he received a haircut. I enjoyed Mr. Perez's demeanor, professionalism, and being so personable. Hot towels and a straight razor were used during the cut. With the amount of focus to detail and effort, I was expecting a charge of $60, it was $18! AWESOME! Classic rock was in the background for our listening enjoyment. Cash only for now, as it is a new business. read more

Superb skill and attention to detail. I can not stress enough how hard it is to find a barber who is skilled at not only trimming a beard but fixing someone else's mistakes. Well search no more! Be warned top skill costs top dollar. Still i look amazing and it's thanks to him. read more

Studio One Barber - I have found my new barber - Barbers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Last month I updated my review based on the service I recieved, but for some reason it was not posted. I still recall, however, how it went; I came in to the shop on time, and Jack had just finished with his previous client. I didn't understand just how busy Jack's schedule was until that day. If I had come late, it would have messed up the scheduled appointments for the rest of the day! I'm mentioning this because it is obvious that Jack really cares about his clients and goes to great lengths in order to address their concerns and meet there needs. Once again, I wanted to change my haircut up a bit, and I'm sort of picky on the details, but Jack was patient with me and took his time to get it just right. He gave me some tips, like he always does, and we had a nice conversation ( I personally don't like it when it's quiet the entire time). I left the shop that day as satisfied as ever, and knowing more about hairstyle than I did before. We can show appreciation for the fantastic service we recieve by keeping our word, being on time, or early if possible. Some people don't understand just how big of am impact 10 mins has on his schedule. That being said, I am very much looking forward for my next haircut here, which, judging by the length of my hair, will be very soon! read more

Jack gives a great cut and pays attention to detail. The straight edge clean up with warm cream is always a highlight. He has moved location and if the new place is further, which it is for me, he is still worth the travel. read more

Great haircut, havn't had a professional haircut for years because I always end up disappointed; not the case here! He took the time to listen to what I wanted and offered what he thought would look good. His attention to detail was meticulous, the straight edge shave finish and hot towel was a great touch. I'll definitely be going back read more

Best haircuts, best barber, best overall experience ever! I highly recommend Jack, who is real, professional and relaxed. He wont disappoint! read more

This year I was looking for a regular barber closer to home, and through Yelp reviews I found Jack here at Studio One Barber. He's been cutting my hair for the last half a year, and he's the only "fancy" barber I've gone to consistently without taking a break (to save money) to get a free haircut from my wife. Jack has been consistently good with my haircuts. He has the best, clean fades. He's very meticulous with his work, and he doesn't rush it. You know how fresh haircuts usually only look good for a few days to a week and then you have to put a hat on until your next cut? Jack's cuts have lasted me up to 3 weeks before I needed a hat or another cut. I get my cuts from Jack every 3-4 weeks. The cuts are a bit pricier after tip, but I think it's well worth it for a clean cut, and I'm always up for supporting a local barber who deserves it. Jack is good at listening to what you want and making it better than you'd expect. A couple of times, I wasn't sure I was going to like it after the cut, but I went home to shower off and put my own product in my own hair to style it my own way, and it looked much better than expected. I have yet to be disappointed with a cut from Jack, so I plan on coming every month for my cuts. Even my wife has said that this barber gives me the best cuts, and I've gone out in search for a good, consistent barber for a few years now. Jack is now my guy. I suggest you come in and give him a try, and you'll end up a regular! It's money well spent. Thanks, Jack. Keep up the good work. See you in a couple of weeks! read more

Great haircut place! It's pretty much my go-to spot in the East Bay. Jack is super detailed and genuinely wants what's best for your hair. He's knowledgeable about what you should be doing to take better care of it and not to mention he's great for conversation. Ask him for his opinion and he'll give you tons of feedback. He takes appointments/bookings, so that's convenient if you're trying to not wait long hours during the day for a cut. read more

This is hands down the best place to go for a gentlemen's haircut in the Hayward, Castro Valley, Union City area. Jack is a professional and that's exactly why you have to make an appointment. It's a wonder how he even has any availability. Why is it so good? Jack works with supreme confidence after understanding what you want and your style. The result is aggressive and classic styling. He uses a straight razor - as I said, he's a pro. His prices are very fair, $18 for regular cuts. I've been to see Jack 4 times now and don't plan on going anywhere else! read more

I've been meaning to praise this man for a while now. First off, Jack is a real gentleman. He shows you class and respect right when you walk through that door. The experience you get here is similar I'm imagining to barbershops back in the day when people took their time and got to know each other and built life long relationships. I've talked to this man about everything. Now on to the cuts: get yours here. Clean fades, wicked with the straight razor. Jack knows what he's doing. Simple as that. read more

Quality service, quality haircut. I've been searching for a good shop for a while and think I have finally found it: Studio One Barber Shop. Jack is professional and takes his work seriously. He works by appointment, his shop is clean, and he takes pride in his work. Jack offers a variety of services and while I usually just get a haircut from him, I will occasionally schedule a face shave as well. A true talented tradesman. read more

Jack cut my hair three times and he seemed like a cool,chill guy but on the third time he said that I owed him $50 for the haircut because it took him longer and he explained how my hair works. We were talking about his church and how to join but once he told me it's costed $50 I was in shock. As an afterthought that was pretty evil and cruel for someone supposedly religious. Originally he said my haircuts would cost $25. read more

For those of you who know how hard it is to find a decent barber , wll search no more Jack Perez is here. Professional in his craft ,knowledgeable friendly and sharp.

The best barber I've ever been to. Jack is an old school guy with the latest products and approaches to your hair. Not only does he cut hair with immense detail, he also understands hair and how to treat it right. There's more to hair than just getting a fade and jack knows that better than anyone else. He makes sure that every little hair is taken care of and takes a great amount of pride leaving his customers looking sharp. Along with his great hair cutting abilities, he also keeps his customers entertained. Always interacting with customers and giving them the best value. Overall, studio One is the best barber in the Bay Area. Keep it up jack! read more

Jack is an awesome and friendly guy. I just moved to Hayward. He did my hair just as what I wanted. We also had a nice conversation.

My Wife & I went at 7am & one after another got hair cuts. Jack is really easy to talk to. We had good conversations. I didn't understand scalp or no scalp when I said I like it around the ear. Like we said We are just getting to know likes & dislikes & each other. We both said My Wife not as shaved/short as mine. I said 1/4 in. Hers is shorter then that ,but we said it grows , we are understanding each other. We would have gave 5 star we would have been back. Here is the thing we don't make a lot of Money & my mistake not to ask prior. Way out if our budget & won't be back. Also Jack don't cut a big person that short. It shows it more. God Bless read more

The service is soooooo poor I came 5 mins later and the guy kick me out He has no skills and respect Do not go there read more

Rude barber, asked me "what can I help you with" as if i was lost or looking for refrigerator. Told the guy I was looking for a hair cut. He Said appointment only as if I was bugging him then followed up with " I'm unavailable for the rest of the day". I said ok and took my business else where. I have 4 other guys with me needing haircuts. He lost out. read more

Definitely a one time only visit for me. Maybe if your a guy who doesn't know at all really what you want, you just want a guy to put an okay looking hair cut on your head, maybe this is your guy. (If your a girl, you can roll the dice if you want to, he really doesn't do girls hair though) But I knew the hair cut that I wanted to get, and all this guy gave me was a big argument about how guys shouldn't have long hair. (The long hair in question was about 6 inches long). So, not good for that, Also, he tells me I shouldn't give a crap what my lady likes to see me with since I'm the one wearing the hair cut not her ( I can't see how this guy could possibly have a good marriage, but who knows? I didn't ask) So after trying to explain to him the style and name of hair style I wanted, all I get back from this guy is attitude, like I don't know anything, and a weird hair cut that looked funky a week after getting it. AND IT WASN'T AT ALL WHAT I ASKED FOR! ON TOP IF THAT, because my hair was considered "long" the price was $45, not the $25 advertised. So he doesn't know how to give "long" hair cuts to guys, acts like a jerk, overcharges without telling you, is chronically behind schedule, and acts like he's gods great gift to the barber industry.... Thanks, no thanks, I'll stick with my previous hair salon. read more

* Excellent service in both quality and price * Backwards racism Recently I went in for my third haircut with Jack, and while he's a super nice guy otherwise and quite skilled I feel I need to divulge the racism I witnessed this last time I went in, to make sure people at least know before they schedule an appointment with him. As he was working, an African-American woman came in with her son (or someone, I wasn't actually facing to see) looking for a haircut. While he does work by appointment only, he turned them away in a seemingly kind way, explaining he wanted them to get the best haircut possible and redirected them to another barber. When he came back, I asked him (all quotes paraphrased) "Is it just different hair, or...?", to which he replied, "No, I just don't serve blacks.", and went on to tell me about how he "doesn't want the wrong crowd to come around", he "works late and alone", and "most robberies are commited by black people". Full stop. No further details required, I hope. I feel bad writing this review, as it's my first, and it may have huge consequences for any number of people, but I definitely feel like people should know. I know I won't be returning. read more

Studio One Barber - Fresh mid fade combover - Barbers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Horrible service: I scheduled an appointment, arrived early. There was already another person waiting when I got there. That person was seated in the chair at my appointment time. When I called we had a conversion over the phone about a haircut and a beard cleanup. When my haircut was over he informed me that he only has me down for a haircut. It's very clear he favors his regulars and doesn't seem like he wants to turn a new client into a regular. The haircut itself came out decent, got a little nick on my hairline in the forehead area. read more

First haircut: I made an appointment 12:30PM, showed up on-time, and had to wait 20 mins for him to finish the previous appointment. Second haircut: I made an appointment for 12:30PM, showed up 4 minutes late, was told that I would have to reschedule my appointment for the following week because he couldn't make his next appointment DOUBLE STANDARD IS REAL read more

I walk in as a tumbleweed and leave as a man again. I'm the kind of guy who only gets my hair cut when I have to. I always bring in a head full of mess to Jack and he never disappoints. He gives great recommendations on what would be good or bad in terms of style and hair type, and he also listens to you when you want to try something different or have special requests. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

This is my new favorite barber. Jack works alone and now I see why. He does it all. He has both a Cosmetology license AND a Barber license. This was my first time here and Jack really took his time to make sure he knew exactly what I wanted. He was very detailed in my cut and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. He works by appointment only, but was willing to take a walk in that showed up while I was there. His shop looks clean and smells great! There was never that awkward silence. Jack made great conversation and kept me engaged. I highly recommend Studio One and Jack. The cut was $18....not bad at all for what I got. I'll be back in about three to four weeks for my next cut. Happy barber hunting, folks! read more
