My son getting ready for prom! Hee
Kay O.

This was my first time at this particular shop, and it was the day before, my son's senior prom!! Goodness!! I was so happy there was somebody with an available chair to cut/style his hair!! Rob/Primo was his barber for the day, and he was able to fit us in just as two other barbers were finishing up. Everybody was incredibly friendly, even the other barbers in the different chairs, and they all seem to have their own joint/communal conversation amongst the different people getting haircuts, as well as the barbers cutting the hair. Like a bunch of friends, just talking!! it was quite refreshing to see such great camaraderie within coworkers, as well as learning and meeting your community! As I spoke to one gentleman, I noticed everyone seemed to ask him about a lot of local items and things going on so I asked him if he was the owner. He smiled and replied back, "this is all of our shop. We are here together, so I don't say it's mine or his or hers." Such an open ended inclusive way to look at things!! Very sweet in fact!! Hee. My son will definitely be back here to get his haircut since they know how to cut different textured/curly hair. We've gone to so many other random barbershops and they have honestly messed up his curls or did too tight of a shave up the back, and then he got razor burn. Everything was incredibly clean, Organized and methodical!! They even have a little fridge and offered us water! Incredibly sweet and home like feeling!! Plus, I loved all the local artistry and mini murals on the walls!! I forgot to ask, but it looks like the same artist painted all the different jerseys and logos from the area of Silicon Valley! Mainly San Jose but there were some other Local logos I saw as well. I love the vibe!! Plus you're right in downtown Willow Glen, so you could always walk down the street and get something to eat!!

Uncle Chops cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. Not everyone can cut asian men hair and he's amongst the best I've experienced. Shop is also filled with snacks, drinks, and good vibes all around. Will definitely be coming back

This was Clifton maybe halfway through the process. My son had a lot of hair.

I was looking for a barber shop where I can take my youngest son to because he needed a fresh look way over due! It's a challenge for me and for us to maintain his natural curly hair but after reviewing Yelp, I was confident that this barbershop had the magic touch to help us. Scheduling was super easy via their website and you get a text reminder confirming your appointment and another 30 minutes as a reminder. It's in Willow Glen area off Lincoln so leave early so you can have ample time to find parking. Parking is hard and limited. We arrived early. Our appointment was with Clifton. My son's hair was severely tangled and he had a lot of hair. He was nervous and we anticipated the pain of picking his hair to untie the knots but let me tell you what we both loved about Clifton. Clifton is an honest and patient man! He reassured not just me but my son that his goal was to not hurt him and he will do his best to cut his hair. Clifton delivered above 100 percent and if I could give 20 stars, I definitely will and so will my son. My son was nervous at first and left beaming with excitement and confidence and said he will be back next month. LOL I appreciate the honesty and advice because my son is the only of our family with beautiful curly hair and now we have a fresh start and will definitely be back next month! Thank you Clifton. Conversations were funny and my son and I are grateful to you for your service. Makaja who is a hair stylist arrived later and we also had a great conversation. Love the vibe!! They also have hair products you can buy and additional services like braiding.

Great place to have clean cut and look nice

Corey Santi Salon is amazing! He's friendly, has an incredible eye for detail, give I have an eye…read morefor details. Noticed the small details of him rounding out the hair with my facial features. Tho I asked him to experiment because I enjoy evolving. The new haircut cut will take a bit of time to get used to, yet the style will assist in being confident and adjusting to the style. Over all love the hairstyle. Corey made our conversation enjoyable. I felt completely at ease building a professional relationship with him. While the location is a bit tricky to find and parking can be tight, the overall experience was fantastic. I'm excited to return and highly recommend Corey for anyone looking for exceptional service in a welcoming atmosphere. Thanks for the glow up!

I've been going to Corey for at least 4 years so this review is long overdue. I found Corey by…read moregoogling "Asian men's hair" and he appeared on the bottom of the first page. At the time, he was close to where I lived. Since that time, he is now far from where I live and his availability and my work hours on occasion make it difficult to schedule...but he is worth it. Three things make him stand out better to me than any other person that has cut my hair: 1. I usually try to get a haircut every 5 weeks. I can give myself a fade on the sides (or at least, he is kind enough to not give me his real opinion!) But due to life and work, getting a regularly scheduled haircut isn't always the case. However, I feel like I can go a few weeks longer without my hair going native on me. It just keeps its shape. 2. Having straight, black, Asian hair, I've always had to use product to get it to lay down especially on certain mornings. As my hair got longer and more unruly, I would feel like I would have to use more product. Corey's haircuts almost require no need for product in my hair. Sometimes, I just use a leave-in conditioner to hold things in place or I've even just left the house with nothing in my hair on occasion. For me, this is unheard of since 7th grade. 3. I've always characterized the time after a haircut as occurring in 3 phases. The immediate phase when the hair is shortest, the "sweet spot" phase when the haircut looks sharp, and the end when the hair is too long and you need a hair cut. The "sweet spot" is the period where you enjoy the haircut. Where you look in the mirror and gleam at the high and tight fade. Where your hair is manageable and you don't have to think about your hair amongst the myriad of other things you have to worry about in your life. Corey's haircuts have the longest "sweet spot" period out of all the haircuts I've ever had. By far. Other than that, Corey is just a really good dude. He is easy to talk to and time just easily passes between us.

Took a chance on an open appointment with someone who isn't my regular barber. I booked with JAC,…read moreand even from the consultation I felt like this guy had an attention to detail that was refreshing for me. I'm a very flow with the go kind of guy and just told him he can do whatever he wants LOL. It's usually how I got by most of my haircuts. But then this guy started asking me questions and I had to really think about what I wanted. This cut was after I had gotten a perm and I knew it wasn't going to be easy to work with. Honestly was ready to just shave all of it off haha. But JAC explained what he was going to do and why, and all the way through asked if it was something I was down to do. And honestly I loved the haircut after. It suited my face really well, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to style it the same. JAC, without me asking, explained what product he used and what he did to get the look. He also let me know which products to stay away from because they would damage my hair. Overall, had a great experience here!

I get a haircut there around every 4-6 weeks, and recommend it to anybody that asks me where to get a haircut in Downtown. Environment Professional, spacious, clean, comfortable. There are two leather couches, a coat hanger, and even a coffee machine there (not instant coffee - real, fresh ground coffee). Service JB is my guy at Concept, and he is not only skilled but he actively maintains me as a client. He documents each cut, familiarized himself with my hair type, and can consistently replicate previous cuts or make adjustments depending on what I'm going for. Usually I just go in with a vague request like "Just a clean up, maybe some shaping on the beard" and he always delivers with something that looks good. I'm satisfied with his work after every appointment.

I took my husband here for his birthday and it was such a great experience! The vibe is upscale but…read morestill super comfortable, and the staff made him feel really taken care of. He loved the attention to detail, from the grooming service to the relaxing atmosphere--it felt like more than just mani/pedi and facial... it was an experience. He walked out looking fresh and feeling pampered, and I was so glad I chose this spot to celebrate his day. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to treat themselves--or someone special!

Disappointing First-Time Experience…read more I got my husband a gift card to Hammer & Nails for Christmas since it looked like a great place to treat himself and enjoy a premium barbershop experience. As a first-time guest, he was supposed to receive a complimentary $60 upgrade that included a haircut, shampoo, conditioning scalp massage, razor outline, aftershave massage, and hot towel. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in almost every way. His barber (a tall redhead) seemed rushed from the start. The session, which was supposed to be around 45 minutes, barely lasted 20 minutes. He had to ask for the shampoo and conditioning--which were supposed to be part of the package--and the scalp massage was quick and not relaxing at all. The razor outline never happened, the neck shave isn't even included, and even the hot towel had to be requested. For a "premium" service, the attention to detail and pampering were just not there. My husband left saying he could've gotten a better cut and experience at Supercuts in 15 minutes. I was glad I didn't load too much money onto his gift card because if the next visit isn't better, he definitely won't be going back. Hammer & Nails has a great concept, but the execution today was mediocre at best. Probably skip unless it's a gift card.
