I suddenly would get a text saying that they have cancelled my appointment and I should reschedule. 3 different times the same story!!!! They're booked when those appointments were available when I booked them. I talked to an Asian woman that sounded like she's 18 years old and clueless and takes 15 minutes to say practically nothing on the phone, just words with no meaning whatsoever. They did this to me repeatedly. This place should not be in business!

It was a little too short to style. Make sure to confirm for your fade you want a zero or skin because I thought that was communicated but I didn't feel like it was to that level. The barber took his time and was about a 30 minute haircut. Hard to say but maybe not the best for Asian hair and the price was pretty steep being that it's in the city. Ambience is great and they give complimentary coffee.

I've been a customer here for 5 years and sadly no more ... they treat customers like crap and have…read moreno respect for their time. The three strikes that ended it for me, despite being so conveniently located. 1) My go-to barber said they didn't want to work with me, b/c they were too stressed after cutting my hair before a major event I was going to. There was too much pressure to make it just right before a big day LOL ... talk about soft and weird honestly. 2) Disrespectful customer service and hidden fees ... People's Barber are extremely strict about protecting their time - fining people if you're 10 min late. But with customers anything goes. I showed up at 10am on a Sat. They told me at 10:20 that they're over booked and next available slot is 11. So fine, I came back at 11, my cut starts at 11:15 and goes till 12. Then b/c the barber used scissors instead of a shaver that I booked, which took 45 min, the receptionists charged me extra b/c it took too long. I told him I didn't ask for or order the scissor cut, the barber just did it. The receptionist said, "well that's what you got so it's more now." like WTF guys. 3) Haircuts have deteriorated. I actually had scabbing on my neck when one barber used the shaver to make a sharp trim line. I unfortunately didn't save a picture so I can't post. But end of the day, they guys ran off 5 year regular... just annoying.

Another bonus was that I was staying at a hotel one street away. The barber was friendly and took meticulous care to make sure I got a great fade haircut. One of the best stylish fades I've ever had. The barber was also very friendly and the shop's ambiance was like the bar in Cheers where everyone knows your name. I also enjoyed watching The African Cup of Nations on television. First time watching African football on television not withstanding the World Cup. I guess it makes sense since Berbers are from North Africa. Would definitely recommend this shop when you are in SF

Had an amazing haircut and experience here, will definitely be coming back! Lobo was my barber, and…read morehe is such a friendly, energetic individual, but also a professional and master at his craft. He took his time (1hr 15 min) to ensure my cut was perfect (midskin fade, combover on top). I have asian hair, and this was the best cut I have had in many years; I am glad I discovered this place, and will be coming back to Lolo in the future. He also does an amazing hot towel and head massage treatment towards the end; very relaxing and almost fell asleep. They also offer complimentary drinks (sparking water, coffee, whiskey, etc), but was a bit too early for me to partake in any libations. Highly recommend this barbershop, one of the best in the City!

Finding a new barber can be a daunting task. You're hoping the vibe is right and that the experience doesn't leave you feeling disappointed. Especially with San Francisco pricing, it can feel like a gamble. With Paul, there's zero guesswork. He truly knows what he's doing, and his consistency makes it easy to trust him with your hair. On top of that, I really enjoy our conversations. Paul takes the time to get to know his clients, which makes the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable, with no awkward moments. It feels effortless from start to finish. If you're looking for someone you can trust who genuinely knows their way around a pair of scissors and a comb, Irish Paul is your guy. Highly recommended.

I cannot imagine ever going to another barber ever again. There's a reason why he's always booked and busy! Because he's the best barber in the city for any hair style. Every single time I get a haircut from him, I'm always left satisfied, happy, and grateful. His haircut skills are immaculate - his scissoring, his shaving, his styling, his attention to detail. Whether I want a trim or more of a cut, he knows exactly what I want and what to do. And his shop is always sparkly clean and the vibe is wonderful. Thank you Joshua! Looking forward to more fantastic cuts from you :)
