Absolute pros. I see Bobby. Initially quiet...making sure to concentrate so you'll want to return, which you will. They cover everything from fades to F***boy haircuts . They're crisp, clean, and tailored so you leave looking like a better version of yourself. But it's also the vibe -- music, conversation, and a space that feels more like a hangout than an appointment. Honestly, it's the kind of place you'll want to come back to even if your hair doesn't need it. A barbershop that doubles as a bar? Genius.

I made an appointment online the same day, and the receptionist was really kind and helped me find the location. Definitely bookmarking so I can come back next time my travels through Hawaii coincide with a haircut need!

Didn't find Gino, but... da Cut: Jaden sat me down 10 min. early asked a few questions and got to work. I could tell just by the way he was lining things up with a wet comb that I was gonna be good. He took his time, paused at certain points to have me check his work. Meticulous and precise he started up top w/ scissor work, combing, measuring snipping; really taking his time. Moving to the clippers, he was just as careful and line things up nice, taking 10 years off my old head! da Service: building has very little street parking, but does have a robot parking structure, supported by Valet; w/ validation, only $4!! No way you get that in Oakland. Penthouse HNL is on the 3rd floor, smooth check-in, already paid when booked online, super easy. I was a little scared, it was all young "kids" working; I'm not quite looking to be K-pop star. But Jaden had the sensibility to gauge what I was looking for and still bring me up to date a bit. Will look for this spot on the next visit... and much mahalos to Jaden for helping me "keep the old man out"

I'd definitely make the trip everytime.

The shop is also clean and well kept, which adds to the overall vibe. Overall, Blendhouse is the kind of place that makes you want to come back.

I wanted to give them 5 stars so bad but couldn't. Got to…read moremy appointment early and was seen late. That wasn't a problem. I showed him what I wanted and he started with the first red flag I ignored. He flat out said that cut wasn't for me he's not sure if he could do it. I said do your best? When he was done the gel and combing style looked great. I noticed immediately it wasn't anything like the picture and my hair was cut short not shaved as requested and asked him to please take more hair off. The other stylist or manager was busy in the back then left to the" bank " Red Flag 2. He showed me the top. I love the length and say it clear and loud. He then grabs the hair length and cuts. When I reacted with why?!?!? I just said it's perfect, he replied My bad I didn't hear you. We are the only people there. I digress. His next client showed up and he started to get anxious about my asking him for more work. At this point I'm calm and decided I'll be back since he was being difficult. I called the next day came in and in epic fashion he acted surprised and lectured me on telling blended if I'm not happy in the day of the appointment. I tried to no avail so his remark already was red flag 3. He corrected some of it but pretty much made it clear after all this time- he didn't think the cut I chose was "right for me " and he didn't not "feel comfortable "because my head isn't the same shape as the model. lol. Is he for real?!?! Telling people no because it's not what you like is unacceptable. And for 65 bucks inappropriate Here is the picture. I rarely give bad reviews please know I had no choice on this one. I'll come back but not with Micah.

His professionalism, skill, and vibe make every visit a great experience. If you're looking for a barber who can elevate your look and your confidence, Grant is the one. Highly recommend!

1/2 I was introduced…read moreto A's Barber Shop by my longtime hairstylist. His haircuts had gone up to around $60, and since I usually get a simple cut, he suggested I look for something more affordable. A friend recommended this place, and I've been coming here since. When I first started, haircuts were $20 -- now they're $22, which is still a great price. If you're looking for a straightforward, no-frills neighborhood barber shop, this is a solid option. The cuts aren't high-end or super detailed, but they do a good, clean job that gets the job done. For the value and consistency, it's hard to complain. Definitely a strong 4.5 stars.

And after two very successful trips to A's barbershop, we thought we'd give it a third try again and it just keeps getting better. Today my beard was trimmed by Kat, who is just incredible with a fantastic attitude, master skills, And an attention to detail that's getting rarer to find these days. Parking was a breeze in the back and I waited no longer than 10 minutes to get into a chair and have my beard serviced without an appointment. I'll be back for sure. And just glad to have found a permanent barbershop that does fantastic work for an incredible price. Look forward to moving back home soon and sitting in that chair more often.

TL;DR Matthew is…read morefantastic! ----- This review is long overdue. I've been coming to visit Matthew at Mojo for over three years, and it's been the best three years of haircuts in my life. I have never been disappointed, and I am so glad I found Matthew and Mojo. Matthew's process is of the highest quality and is very consistent. Each haircut begins with a confirmation of my desired hairstyle. If I have any questions about barber terminology or potential changes, Matthew always explains things clearly and concisely. He is extremely professional while also being super down to earth. His haircuts are incredibly relaxing. So much so that I often find myself falling asleep in his chair. At the end of each haircut, he provides a handheld mirror to review the haircut and also offers product to style in case I am heading out somewhere after. I cannot recommend Matthew enough! And make sure you drop him a nice tip. :)

I watched how Jon didn't rush through the process and did multiple steps to obtain a really perfect style!! I have to admit until he was on the last few steps I was cringing at the bowl cut, but nope he took it up in segments to create a perfect line and fade while having the balanced length on top. The vibe here is chill and cool. My son said he's coming back to Jon for all his future cuts!! I totally agree and recommend!!
