So I'm from LA and I came out here to visit a friend and needed a fresh cut. Looked around on yelp and saw a lot of places, but way too many with strange reviews or sus pictures. I decided to go with this one and do not regret my decision whatsoever. I'm a bit of a indecisive guy, and to make it worse my hair is super stubborn and curly. Even worse? I have a hard time choosing the best hairstyle for me. I gave the gentleman who cut my hair a bit of an idea what I want and we went over my options and what'll look good. We decided to go with his recommendation and I love it. Didnt take much time out of my day and it looked dope almost immediately. Overall: Quick cut, reallllll nice fade, and friendly conversation, and I was out. Great price too. If I lived in the area I'd definitely make this place my main barber. Heading back to LA tomorrow. I like ya cut g. read more

My husband needed a quick haircut on a Saturday morning, and his call was answered within seconds. He was told to come on over, and he was back within 20 minutes. It was a nice, quality haircut, and he appreciated all the plant decor lol A great, easy experience for him! read more

This shop is just a perfect old school spot. Sun will cut your hair in under 30 minutes. A lot better than overpriced spots.

This place is a one of a kind I have yet to find a barber shop like this or a barber that cuts my hair as good as him

This place is a gem! The barber here has been cutting hair for 40 years and has been in this exact shop for over 30 years. A very nice gentleman who cut my hair the best it's been cut in a very long time. I have thick curly hair, and he managed to trim and shape my hair exactly how I wanted it! He finished up with a a buzzer, and straight razor. Everything was perfect about the haircut, I found my new go to place! read more

Sun Barber Shop - I forgot to take a picture after the haircut, but here it is a day later! - Barbers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great old school barber. Yelp says his hours are open till 4 PM, be advised he takes his last customer at 2 PM.

Man... Sun didn't cut my hair to what I asked. I asked for a 3 on top with a skin fade and not to go in on the top and to keep it straight vertically to keep the shape, and to line up the side; He then proceeded to give a straight military cut with, a skin fade way above the crown of skull. 3 and skin with no blending what so ever. The shape from the top to the rest of the head is so abnormal. Definitely going to a new barber. read more

So today was my first visit to Sun. What a friendly, kind man. As others have said, it is an old school shop. His grandson was playing in the lobby flying paper airplanes. Soon he walked over to me, handed me one and then ran away to catch it when I threw it. So cute! Sun is very detail oriented when it comes to the cut. Mine is simple; number two all around. He did that and then took the same amount of time to scissor cut to make sure everything was perfect. I'm now going to be a regular. read more

I've been going here since 1991 when I lived in Gold River. Now, I drive all the way from Roseville to have my hair cut here. He listens and cuts it the way I want it, not the way A Barber wants it. Best prices around read more

I wish I found Mr. Sun earlier. I've struggled for years to find a barber who could properly cut a two block haircut but my journey has now come to an end. Mr. Sun is an expert at his craft. I drove 25 minutes to give his shop a try and I am amazed at his level of precision. He cuts quickly, accurately, and efficiently. He is a great listener and unlike many other shops, I feel very welcomed and at home here. I will definitely be coming back. read more

My regular barber was out of town. And I desperately needed a haircut. I love supporting small businesses. Spotted Mr. Sun's barbershop and decided to get a haircut. He is very nice man, humble and low key. I requested for a skin bald fade with some sharp lines. Unfortunately, did not quite come out what I expected. Not to be bashful, Mr. Sun did the best he could. I still tipped him well for his attempt. His services are fairly priced for "simple haircuts". For very detailed trims, I recommend else where. read more

Mr. Sun is the only person in the Sacramento area that really knows how to give a military style haircut. I'm here every two weeks to stay neat and clean. Over the last couple of years others in the National Guard have joined me in coming to Mr. Sun. He is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. read more

Sun is a master barber. He's been doing it for 30+ years and his experience shows. I'm all about getting a great haircut and less about the trendy salons so this place is perfect. Had to take a picture of sun and his awesome 40 year old barber chair. read more

Sun Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Simple, perfect and cuts your hair the way you want. Most barbers have "their" cut, not here, he asks and listens, something I wish all barbers would do. read more

Mr. Sun has great customer service and I was lucky enough to find an opening for a last minute haircut. I would highly recommend his shop if you're looking for a quick but qualty cut. He's not in the best location for the traffic he deserves , but he has definitely earned my business. I will be coming here at least once a month on my work trips to Sacramento. read more

Looked around to find a haircut in Sacramento before I was heading out. Walked in short wait time to the chair. Did an excellent job. A lot of attention to detail, took his time getting it right. Several days latter looks just as good as the day he cut it, very easy to restyle at home. Nothing fancy at this shop but it is clean and in a safe neighborhood. Price was very reasonable. Recommend him highly. read more

Excellent old school low cut fade, very pleased. Love the razor and aftershave touch at the end. What a humble kind man who has been serving the community for 30 years! I new to the area and will definitely come back. read more

Sun Barber Shop - The Professional - Barbers Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

I walked in without an appointment and had no wait. One happy customer was leaving as I came in. My hair had gotten a little long, maybe 70's California long. The Barber using, scissors, clipper and straight razor had me out of there pretty quickly, although he was very thorough. Best cut I've had in years. I will be definitely back. He's located by the Skating Rink, and in the back. Place has a good vibe. read more

He's the sweet grandpa that everyone wished they have. I've been going to him for the past two years now and I love that he remembers how you like your hair so I never have to really tell him anything. Walk in walk out in like twenty min for a guy with short hair read more

Old school barber... in the best way. Sun is very detail oriented. Due to my picky nature, I tend to finding things to trim after a haircut. Not with Sun, he gets it right the first time. He finishes you up with a straight razor and slaps on the after shave. Personally, I appreciate this old school technique and the few barbers still practicing it. $15 (before tip) well spent to get a nice tapered fade. read more

Ever since I moved to the Sacramento area, Mr. Sun has been my go-to barber. He does an amazing cut for an unbeatable price. I usually tip nicely just because of how cheap the haircut is compared to the quality of the haircut. Definitely recommend! read more

I am leaving a review for Sun because it looks like he needs help. Sun is a nice guy hes from Korea. I think he said hes been livin in the US for 30 years or was it hes been a barber for 30 years? Anyways the guy will cut your hair the way you like it. Hes good at cutting short hair for $15 he needs business badly the area he is in is not very populated. Hes located behind the King Skate Country building over to the left side behind the korean marketplace. Try him out hes really nice guy and will try his best. How many barbers and salons offer that? Walk ins welcomed no appointment needed. Good luck Sun thanks for cutting my hair. read more

Mr. Sun is an excellent Korean-style barber who cuts consistently every visit. After getting a trim from Mr. Sun a couple of times, he remembered my preferences! read more

I have been going here for a couple months, sun does a great job and doesnt charge you a ton of money. He also doesnt take a hour to cut your hair and still has the same great looking outcome. He is very polite and friendly alot of babers could learn how to act from him read more

I have been a happy customer of sun for over 10 years. Hes a very humble man that has been running his own shop for over 30 years! I always get my hair cut there with a straight razor shave. read more

Great spot. He spends the session cutting your hair with devoted attention, as it should be. Very affordable. $15, gave him $20. He's been at it for 36-7 years. read more

I paid Sun considerably more than he asked, still less than my old guy. His English is very good. Sun is kind. I recommend Sun Barber Shop.

Classic, no nonsense barber. We've been coming here for 10 years now- precision work 100% of the time. Nice guy to boot.

Great hair cut. Very friendly and does outstanding work. Recommend to everyone Thanks Sun Steve read more

No frills, standard barber shop, Sun does a great job. It might not be fancy, but it's convenient and conveniently priced.

Old school guy did a great job. I get a simple, military style haircut but a lot of civilian barbers don't pay attention to the small details in our brand of cut. This guy did a great fade and even gave me a wash after for no charge. Set back in a corner of a shopping center, but I'll be back here. read more

FINALLY! This is probably the first haircut I've gotten in 10 years that I haven't had to come home and touch up myself. Being former military, I like to keep it neat and short, but almost every place I've been to seems to miss a spot here, or a few straggling hairs there, or can't blend the longer hair on top into the short hair on the sides, etc. I've tried barbershops with 60-100 5 star yelp reviews and still had to come home and clean up the cut. I guess I'm just anal about my hair. Well, Mr. Sun is the first barber I've found who spends as much time on my hair as I would. Going back and double- and triple-checking spots, making sure they blend when wet or dry. He's also one of the few to use thinning shears on top in addition to a scissor over comb and clippers. 5 stars for the cut 5 stars for the service 5 stars for the price 2 stars for the ambiance. That's why I only gave 4 stars, but I could really care less how much stainless steel you have, how many flatscreen TVs or magazines you have if I can't get my damn hair cut correctly. I will be back to see Mr. Sun. read more

Sun knows his craft and delivers a great haircut. He listens to what you want and cuts it to perfection. He is extremely detail oriented and makes sure you are satisfied with your cut. To finish, he lathers up your neck and straight edge razor's it. Sun, you're the best! read more

I've been through a handful of barbers in Sacramento and Mr Sun is the one I always return to. He's a very detail oriented barber that always gets my hair the way I want it. The barbershop is tucked away in the Korean supermarket and the ice rink so it is easy to miss. He's always friendly and remembers who I am even if I haven't been there in months. Haircuts for men are $12. read more

Great place to get a haircut for a reasonable price! Got mine yesterday and he did a perfect job. 10/10 I would recommend.

Very nice easy going barber! Very friendly and the environment feels just like home. Will come back next time, hardworking mad respect is given when earned! read more

Great hair cut. Barber took his time to do my hair. I would go back. Price was not bad for a hair cut
