The Barber Stylist - Barbers Near Me - Los Altos, California

Excellent haircuts and service for a great price. Owned and operated by a caring team of stylists and barbers who work hard for clients. It has a classic look, if interior design elements matter to you, this isn't the place. Lots of free parking. In and out fast! My experience was always good, but has improved once I got better at understanding what style and length of haircut I wanted, and was able to provide a picture and specifics to the stylists and barbers. Shop Local! read more

Beware of barbers that don't have English as a first language. You may get something very different than what you expect ! I do give them credit for making the bad experience free. read more

Tina gave me a zero fade hair cut. I love it thanks. And this shop just change new numbers 650 537 1065 for those that don't know. Thanks read more

Had a haircut with Ray. Great guy, knows what he's doing. Great attitude too - can certainly recommend him. Minus two stars for not accepting any form of payment but cash. This isn't really a way to run business in 2022 if you ask me. Had to waste a lot of time to get cash. read more

This place is a gem. Thomas was great. Went in for a cut with long top and minor taper on sides. He asked questions about how I liked certain parts cut and tapered.this place made me feel so comfortable and will be coming back for my next cut. Place is cash only I believe. read more

I'm in town for a short while and knew I was overdue for a haircut. I walked in, and Ray took care of me. Such a friendly man, and honestly one of the best cuts I've had before. Cash only, but at $27 VERY affordable compared to all these fancy boutique barbers around here. Ray works mon-thurs and i HIGHLY recommend him! read more

Great service! We came here to fix our baby's hair and Ray did a great job. The result was Amazing, thank you for your patience and for your amazing customer service , we will be back! read more

I went through seven barbershops in the area before I tried The Barber Stylist, and I have now been going there for more than 10 years. In these years I've had excellent haircuts from five or six barbers there. My current regular barber is Tina, and she does a wonderful job. She is meticulous, does not rush, gives me the haircut I want, and cares deeply about her work. It is just a pleasure to have Tina as my barber. The shop recently changed owners, and the fresh energy, upbeat vibe, and attention to detail are noticeable and much appreciated. read more

I was in town for the week and needed a place to get a haircut. Ended up choosing this place because of the reviews and absolutely had a blast with Ray. Love the haircut and plan on visiting again next time I'm in town! read more

Just an updated review, still going to this barbershop after a year now and have been receiving consistently great cuts! They recently changed their phone number though when I tried to call for an appointment. think it's 650-537-1065 read more

Needed to get my 5 yr old son's hair cut in time for school pictures. Was referred to this place by a mom friend and what a great find! Ray is our new barber... not only did he do an excellent job taming my son's floppy hair. He was quick, precise, stylish, and a super cool guy. Little man looked so fresh and clean. The shop was clean and I enjoyed the OG barber shop decor. The wait was nonexistent so forget about Super Cuts and just go here. My son loved Ray and I'm stoked I found a skilled barber to take over hair cutting duty. read more

Shop looks older but the Vietnamese lady barber Michelle, adds a significant upgrade to this shop! Michelle is a great addition to their staff. She is so easy to talk to and gives a wonderful haircut. As a bonus, Michelle provides a short shoulder massage which relaxes and soothes your body. Truly wonderful experience! read more

I went on 3/22/2019 and got my hair cut by a barber I hadn't had before. I didn't notice at the time, but when I got home he left large chunks of long hair in my head. I noticed he did a quick job and did not know how to cut, but I didn't see the patches of long hair that he had left until I got home. I am going back on Monday and asking them to fix my hair, I am not sure I will go back again. The haircuts before were alright, but not worth it since its cash only and they messed up my hair this time. read more

I've been a regular customer at the Barber Stylist for almost 15 years. There has been some slow turnover among the barbers over the years, but I mostly see the same faces each month when I go in. Jerrie has been my regular barber for the past couple of years. She always does a great job and remembers what I want without needing any explanation from me. Just recently, Jerrie has taken over as the new owner. She's made a few small changes, like serving coffee and tea while you wait, but it's basically the same as before - still providing reliable, great service at a reasonable price. read more

Great haircut and Ready did a phenomenal job with cutting my 3 year old's hair (and bug guy's hair) -- his first official haircut and first non- home haircut. We've been coming here for 5 years, and I'm so happy we are continuing the tradition with my son. Highly recommend Ray! read more

$18 for a men's cut in an old-school barber shop environment. They don't even do women's hair so the place has a kind men's club feel to it, with the usual conversation topics floating around the shop, such as politics (they're all thieves, by the way), sports, and the weather. The service is friendly, they move fast, and the product is good. If you like barber shops, this is the most predictable (if not the oldest) in Los Altos. read more

Ray is amazing. One of the best barber shops I've been to. Very friendly abs professional. Great haircuts.

This is an "old school" barber shop (not a salon) that's been around for decades, now under new ownership. I've been going here for about six months or so and have never had a bad haircut. The prices are quite reasonable for Los Altos. Ask for Jerrie if you come in on the weekend; she has lots of stories to tell. read more

Came in a couple times and every time I make sure I see Ray. Very good at what he does. Gives good cuts and is a very personable guy. Definitely recommend giving him a shot. Is experienced and it shows, he can do it all! read more

I drive 80 miles round trip to get my hair cut here. I followed my barber, Ray, from President's Barbershop when he moved across. After a decade of being cut by Ray, he has kept me looking cleaned up for countless major life events. He's always sincere and engaging and he treats every customer with patience and respect. Not to mention the price is actually fair and the parking makes the trip a breeze. read more

My 17 year old got a great haircut here. Walked right in. Lots of attention to detail by his barber.

We had a really great experience here; the guy that works there is a really cool dude and is so skilled with hair. We'll be coming there regularly for sure now! read more

Barber can't even do haircut like showed him on a picture. It's pretty simple fade. He didn't even put a hair cloth and neck strip right way. All my pants covered with short hair. Nobody asked me about any hairstyling or am i like hair cut or not. Barber don't have any uniform. Looks like just random guys waiting in a line. My barber was not friendly at all. Is it so hard to do well your not so difficult job? Why this place still have 4 stars?! A lot of 1 star reviews! read more

Old school baber shop. Great group of people here. David cuts me up right once a week. Give him a try when you have time.

I just left this place. I called asking if they have time to give me a simple haircut and they said that i can go there. I took five minutes to get there when i got it they just said it's closed and probably i called to a wrong number then i call again to the same phone number and their phone started ring. They just don't gave me a shit and ask me to leave. TERRIBLE read more

I have come to this place multiple times and they have consistently given me bad haircuts. I was very clear about the type of cut I wanted and they may simply be not very good at cutting hair. I'm sorry to say this. read more

I've been coming to The Barber Stylist for about four years, starting when I lived in Mountain View. Even though I live in San Jose now, I still come here to get my hair cut. It's worth it to drive a bit farther because the service is reliable, so I know I'll get an excellent haircut every time. And the price is very reasonable. I've been getting my haircuts from Jerrie for about a year now. She knows exactly how I like my hair cut and takes her time getting it right. read more

I grew up in Los Altos and have been coming here ever since I was a kid. I returned back 12 years ago after I moved back to Los Altos. I was getting great haircuts from Richie until he retired and now I get even better haircuts from Jerrie. She is very skilled, runs a great shop, and I always come out looking great! My kids love coming here too since she always gives them some delicious lollipops. read more

Called and within the hour we had an appointment for a boy's haircut and superhero design. Very exciting. Dave, the artist, created a "super cool" Batman design. Thanks for your great work and care! I wish you many more happy clients like us. read more

The Barber Stylist - Dave, the Artist. - Barbers Near Me - Los Altos, California

My hair got butchered. The barber literally ran his clippers across my head like a lawn mower. I couldn't have been more disappointed. I was lured here because it was open on a Sunday and the reviews seemed positive for the most part. I had my reservations, and should have gone with my guy. The only reason I gave it two stars is because there are at least 4 barbers there at any given time and maybe I just got a bad one. Brought the rating down to one star when everyone commented on what an awful hair cut I had. It took two months for my hair to grow out so it could be cut normally. read more

I've tired this place a couple of time and closing 45 minutes before the posted time is the last straw. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

The Barber Stylist - I showed up here with plenty of time before they close and arrive to this sign tapped to the door. Unprofessional. - Barbers Near Me - Los Altos, California

I walked right in to a chair on a Wednesday afternoon and got great service. The haircut was quick and efficient and came out very nice with a minimal amount of description or intervention from me. As advertised, there was an episode of Gunsmoke on the TV, which was kinda funny/cool. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is the price was pretty high for just a simple men's haircut. It was a few bucks more than chain salons (like Supercuts and Great Clips) and those places usually give you a warm towel at the end. The quality of the cut was maybe slightly better than those chain shops, but it's kind of a toss up. Still, a solid place to get a (men's) haircut (and certainly cheaper than some other super-fancy barber shops/stylists in the area). CASH OR CHECK ONLY though. read more

How does this place have 4 stars?! I looked for a nearby barber shop for my elderly uncle to get a haircut and beard trim and saw the 4 stars. I should have read more of the reviews before bringing him here. Absolutely awful experience. Explained clearly to the barber that my uncle needed just a trim for his hair, to clean up his neck for his beard, and to just neatly trim his beard. I stepped outside for a few minutes to make a call and when I came back the barber had removed his entire beard. I looked at him and said, " I asked for just a trim not a complete shave." No apology, nothing. Oh well, nothing we can do at this point I think. So can you clean up around the ears and trim the ear hair off the top of his ears? The barber uses the clippers on my elderly uncle's ears and cuts him. I can see the pain on my uncle's face and tell him to stop. Now my uncle is bleeding. I examine his ear closer and see cuts on his ear. The bleeding won't stop. Nobody seems concerned, in fact the staff just stands around making comments that its normal and there are blood vessels on top of the ear. The only one who seems concerned is a female barber who provides him with a product that stops the bleeding. The barber who did this doesn't apologize and doesn't seem to really care that he screwed up. He took off the entire beard, left him covered in hair, cut his ear, didn't do a decent haircut and then after all this had the nerve to charge us. My mistake taking him here in the first place. read more

Re-opened this week and had a great haircut from Tina today. They're following good practices - temperature check, distancing, disposable capes, masks, etc. I expected a crowd but was the only one there. Go support them! read more

Ray just moved here from President Barber Shop in Palo Alto and he is the best. He's been cutting my hair since 2012 and I refuse to go to anyone else. He's also a great person for a good funny conversation. Haircuts here are also cheaper (only $25) than most other places. Could not give a stronger recommendation. read more

I have been a patron of the Barber Stylist for over a decade and have used several of the barbers that are now retired. Currently my barber is Tina who does a great haircut. She takes her time and is very professional and knowledgeable. Great haircuts! No hesitation to recommend her. Keep up the great work Tina. read more

Great environment, very clean and welcoming. The barbers are super nice. Tina is a great barber and she is professional. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I had my hair cut and beard trimmed today by Michelle, she is fairly new here but she is a wonderful barber. Extremely efficient and effective. My hair has never looked so well groomed. And to add she provided a massage to my scalp which was "out of this world relaxing ". It was close to closing time but Michelle still took her time to complete my hair. I am very appreciative of her total dedication to her profession. If you want to receive compliments on your hair and beard you should stop by and have Michelle cut your hair. You will not regret your decision. Lastly, Michelle is a very caring professional barber who listens to your needs and respects your wants, you will not be disappointed. Thanks read more
