“Riyad has been here for 20 years and was an excellent barber. He has tons of sage advice and great conversation. Highly recommend.“

“Best, barber in the East Bay. Difficult thing is no appointments so you may wait 30 minutes or a 4 hours. It's definitely worth the wait for the cut that you can get. Larry's amazing and certainly one of the best parts of the East Bay community. You could tell he loves his people and the East Bay.“

“Jeremiah gave me a great haircut the other day and really responded to what I asked for.“

“I've been coming to this place since 1993. The owner is like a Bay Area Historian to me. He's seen the neighborhood change through more than six decades. Although I now live on the East Coast, I still make it a must to stop by and get a cut because Harold is one of the best barbers to ever hold a pair of clippers. We in the community have always seen him as a Bay Area legend! ?✂️“

“I’ve been a loyal customer of Tito for years, starting back when he was at a barbershop in Richmond. When I heard he opened up his own place on Solano Ave., I knew I had to follow. The service here is exceptional—Tito and his team are always on time, ensuring I get in and out quickly, which is perfect for my busy schedule.

Even when Tito is out of town, I know I’m in good hands with any of the other barbers—Denyll, Mo, and Frank are all incredibly talented. The whole team truly cares about their craft, and it shows in the quality of their work.

If I could give six stars, I would! Highly recommend Solano Ave. Barbershop for anyone looking for a top-notch haircut experience.“

“Terry has been blending my son's hair since his first haircut over 6 years ago. He is patient and very skilled. I highly recommend him for children and adults.“

“Found this spot and couldn't have found a better barber. Q Definitely a top barber, took my son and got him nice and fresh. Highly recommend“

“CJ is hands down one of the best barbers I've ever had. Every time I sit in his chair, I know I'm walking out wet AF and feeling confident. He's consistent, detail-oriented, and takes real pride in his craft. What really sets CJ apart is his professionalism. I used to go to barbers who had no set schedule, canceled last minute, or would bump me or others from the chair even when I had an appointment. On top of that, more than one barber pushed my hairline way too high around the parietal ridge which threw off my whole look and took forever to grow back. CJ doesn't play those games. He respects your time, keeps a reliable schedule, and listens to exactly what you want. He understands how to keep a clean, natural hairline and delivers every time. The vibe is always chill, the cut is always clean, and the experience is always on point. If you're looking for a barber you can trust with both your time and your fade, tap in with CJ“

“I came out wit a fresh cut,leftover money in my pocket and a new friendship...love these guys..“

“Simón cut my hair perfectly.
All you have to do is show him a picture of your ideal hairstyle and he will cut it perfectly.
He's the best barber I've ever met, and as long as I'm in Berkeley, Simón is the only one I'll choose to cut my hair.

Simón is the best barber I've ever had in Berkeley. I was originally worried about where I would go to experience the same haircut experience as in Taiwan after coming to the United States. Simón at Santos Barbershop can give me my ideal haircut perfectly every time. It’s my only choice for haircuts in the US!“
