Another cut well done by Cliff.....

I had a great experience kid and family friendly.The vibe was really what keeps me coming.The service is good.The performance was impeccable.I'm messing with it.

My son getting ready for prom! Hee

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!!

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.

He really listened when I explained the issues I've been having with my hair and how I want to grow it out so it has that natural flow again. I could tell he genuinely cared about understanding what I wanted and getting it right. Matty is seriously great at his craft. His precision, skill and attention to detail really impressed me. I never felt like he was rushing and I walked out feeling really good about my hair. The shop itself is modern, clean, well air conditioned and even smells good! I also really like the privacy and the amount of space between each station. It feels comfortable and relaxing instead of crowded. I also really like their online appointment system. It's easy, modern and straightforward which makes booking super convenient. Great first experience. I'll definitely be back!

If you can get past his mid-level personality he's not bad…read more I've been going to Ben for over 4 years now. I went to him for a haircut right before I proposed to my wife. He gave me a great haircut and some advice - which I did not listen to (thank god), but she said yes, so I flew him to LA to cut my haircut for the wedding. He has literally zero game but he can cut hair well.

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.

I've tried almost every barbershop in Downtown San Jose, and IMO Concept Barbershop is the best…read morespot 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.
