BENIA IS THE ABSOLUTE MAN! Great haircut great beard trim and great conversation. Always a good time taking a step in to the barber chair at top cuts. I doubt there's a better barber in town. read more

As a tourist to the Sonora area, I asked the cashier at Sonora Fly Co who the best barber in town was, and I was referred to Top Cuts. I called for an appointment, arrived 45 minutes early and Benaiah was able to squeeze me in. Helped me figure out the cut I wanted, and executed perfectly. Super friendly, and super chill vibe in the shop. 10/10 would come back. read more

The worst first impression today at Top Cuts Sonora CA. 3/12/25. Walked in to the cold shoulder. Not even a hello. Sign says walk in welcome. I finally asked walk in welcome? Still no reply. He grabbed his phone finally answering no we only have a spot at 11:30. Even the guy getting a hair cut looked at me like WTH. The first impression was so bad I just turned and walked out. Food for thought Top Cuts. It's not a crime to say hello. Also change your sign. Walks ins are not welcome. read more

Top Cuts Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Sonora, California

I did a late night chop job on my 10 year olds beautiful, thick, shoulder length hair. At one point it was looking like he could've been Johnny Depp's stunt double in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. We all went to bed regretting our decisions. Early the next morning I scheduled an appt on Top Cuts website. I woke my little dude up and he was even more mad, he does not like to go to barbershops. I told him tough Tortugas, let's roll. We got there a couple minutes early and Katelyn was ready to go. He sat down with the grumpiest of faces. She evened it up with a quickness. We even got him to smile. Even though he told me before we walked in that he was absolutely not going to like it, when he looked in the mirror, he smiled and gave her the big thumbs up. She's down to earth, personable, affordable, fast and knows her 90's movies. Great job Katelyn! Now if only you could fix the fact we missed Fortnite's live event. read more

Top Cuts Barber Shop - Kid's haircut - Barbers Near Me - Sonora, California

Excellent hair cut. Trimmed all the other spots too, ears, nose and eye glasses. Gave him a nice tip for a job well done.

Really a good experience. I've never had a hot towel or strait razor shave before and it was great! Since I'm bald, the shaving was done on my head, not my beard, but the hot towels went everywhere. Very relaxing and a very good job of trimming my beard, eyebrows and shaving my head clean. Benihana is a professional with tons of experience and deserves respect while he does his job. Very reasonable and a fun atmosphere in the shop. Can't wait to take my grandsons there. read more

Thanks so much for responding to my question. My son went today and he got an amazing hair cut. Excellent work.

I've only been here a few times, for my son or husband, but each time has been a very pleasant experience! My son got his first haircut here, and the barber (I forgot his name) was super patient and did an amazing job. He's always booked up, which goes to show how good of a barber he really is! read more

I only visited this location once and will never set foot in this place again. I arrived at 8:30 a.m. and waited till 9 for them to open. A few of us were outside when 9 hit. A man opened the door without saying a word, then made a rude (cattle herding) gesture for us to enter, without saying anything. I told him I was first and had been there for a half hour. He told me they don't open till 9, I replied "I know", but then again he said "we don't open till 9". It was a mook point but o.k. lets start an argument first thing in the morning. I went to take the chair and another guy said he had an appointment with the girl for 9. The man said, "no you don't", he said "yes, I do". O.k. start an argument with another customer! The guy said he had to go to work and asked if he could go before me. Since a haircut only takes 10-15 minutes I said "ok". The conversation immediately turned to the protesters that were gathering in the park for a "black lives matter" rally that was scheduled for 1:30. They were getting loud in their displeasure with "out-siders" coming into Sonora causing trouble. Mentally I was agreeing with their view on the matter. The lady cut the guys hair in 15 minutes. I was getting ready to take the chair when she messed his hair all up and started again. She proceeded to give him a second "full" haircut that took another 15 minutes. It's now 9:30 and I'm getting restless. She looked at me and messed up his hair and started a third haircut. At 9:45 she was finished and I was pissed off walking outside. She proceeded to mess his hair up once again and start a fourth haircut, and when I asked "how much longer", she stopped and rudely said, I'm almost done getting me in the chair close to 10. (b.t.w....If you go there time your cut...it's about 13-14 minutes, not 50 for one guy whos hair was already short). The lady walked away when I told her I knew what she was doing. When she came back to her chair I told her how rude it was to walk away from me, and that when she returned the conversation would still remain the same. I then looked down at the shirt I was wearing. It was a Eric Garner, "I CAN'T BREATHE" shirt. They thought I was a protester and were not going to serve me. They were waiting for me to leave their shop without a cut. ALL THEIR TALK WAS DIRECTED TOWARDS ME THE WHOLE TIME. I HAD NOTING TO DO WITH THE PROTEST THAT DAY AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CHOSE TO BLACKBALL ME THAT DAY. Come to find out the smart allec who wanted me to wait till 1 p.m. was the owner who thinks he's some Rockstar hairdresser. This isn't Hollywood pal, and your building is falling apart. NEVER AGAIN........... read more

KILLER PLACE Best barbershop in the Sierras, by a LANDSLIDE. Have been going here every couple weeks for almost two years now and Benaiah is a top knotch barber. Not once has he not given me what I wanted, how I wanted, and at a price that I felt was extremely fair. He can do fades, tapers, pompadours, designs, kid cuts, etc! To be honest, I'm not sure if there is anything he can't do. And the best part of all? He's PERSONAL. He'll remember your name, make you feel comfortable, and the premium banter is always free. Great place to go, have recommended to ALL my friends and family and will continue to do so! 10/10 read more

My son just had his 1st hair cut here. I was worried about where to take him but I'm glad I found this place. Benaiah was awesome with him & my son had a blast in the police car. Will definitely be coming back and recommending. read more

Top Cuts Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Sonora, California

I was passing through town and he squeezed me in. It's a great shop and the cut was excellent. Even included the straight razor to trim the neck, a nice barber shop touch. read more

Benaiah has been cutting my sons and my hair for over 15yrs and best shop in the county.

Benaiah does excellent haircuts on both my husband and our son. It is a classic barbershop feel, and Benaiah is very personable, and great with kids! He has an adorable police car designed barber chair for the young ones that helps distract them, and he offers 1st Haircut Certificates to those first time little ones. Definitely recommend you make an appointment and trust Benaiah's skills! read more

No stars! Rude as hell. Not from the area and needed a haircut. I called the shop and I asked what are the landmarks because I couldn't find it. "It's a red building located next to a yellow building." That's was telling me whole lot. I finally found the location and I sat down. I did not get any type of greeting. No "hello" or a smile. Don't know if he was having a bad day but he definitely had that flat-affect going on and I did not want him to take it out on my head so I left. read more

Think old-fashioned barbershops are a thing of the past? Give Top Cuts a shot. Not only do they listen to how you want your haircut (which seems almost too much to ask at other places) and know your name after only a few visits, these guys are the real deal: warm shaving lotion on the back of your neck and straight razors, need I say more? No appointment is necessary, but they do get busy. read more

I stopped there the other day to check it out with my 18 month old son today after my wife read these yelp reviews. Benaiah did an awesome job with my son. He was patient and understood how to keep a little one occupied while cutting their hair. Afterwords I got a haircut myself, and this guy is the real deal. He gives a great fade and uses scissors (aka a real barber). He is a professional in every sense of the word. Top Cuts is a real barbershop and a great place to get a cut all at a great price. read more

Great haircuts. Sarah really gives what you ask for. I would recommend it to anyone!

The critics are right, Best Barber in town. Irish is cool and he knows it But does not show it:) I'll be back.

I've been going here for years to get my hair cut and I am always very happy with the result! Benaiah is a great barber and his shop has a nice feel to it. Highly recommend! read more

Randomly stopped by here while travelling back from Yosemite because I was overdue for a haircut. The ambiance of the place was great, the barber was down to earth and entertaining, and the haircut was top notch. I don't think I'll be back in that neighborhood anytime soon, but I would definitely go back if I were. read more

This is an amazing localy owned business. There is always parking and you never have to wait very long to get in a chair. I love being able to take my entire family to one place and we can all get the cut that we want and we always leave extremely satisfied. They are completely child friendly. I would recommend anyone with kids to bring there kids here and have a wonderful experience. read more

Decided to get a haircut today based off of Yelp reviews. This place is five star worthy. Their staff is super friendly and nice. Most importantly, they listened to what haircut I wanted and gave it to me better than I imagined. They get five stars from me, well done. read more

Not only a quick, professional cut; but a cultural experience. I'm letting my hair grow out so I can catch the owner Benaiah's next Friday cigar and hair cut man hour. Just moved to Sonora; Benaiah made me feel like a local right away. And what a kick; the man is bald! Got to love a bald barber!!! I've friends who have gone to him for 20 yrs now. read more

ONLY place to do a razor fade in Sonora. The Haircut and service is perfect. Highly recommend this place to anyone!

My sons first haircut was sensational! Hit this up after a personal referral and reading about it here on yelp. He is a top notch barber, a second time BARBER! Through speaking with him I found he learned this trade the old fashioned way, from the guy who worked there before him. Nobody does that any more but the difference shows. I've had plenty of clipper cuts where some brainless twit snaps guards on and off, run the clippers around in a circle and charges you $20. I can do that at home if I really want to but at top cuts is was scissors and comb. It's a full service shop for the mans n ladies but it's a little more of a mans 'stop n chop' with a 50's vibe, hot rod appeal, and real chairs that kick you back for the straight razor shave. The opportunity for a hot straight shave is a uniquely male indulgence that should be enjoyed more than once in a lifetime. Parking kinda sucks ( down a hill behind the shop) but it's a tough location without any other options. Top Cuts is my new regular and preferred barber. read more

Tried to get a haircut there yesterday. The guy working was Rude Rude Rude. I just left and decided not to spend my money there.
