Perfection, professional and economical. They look for perfection so even if it takes some extra time it’s worth it according to me. The price is cheap. The vibes are nice and welcoming.
There is little gap in communication but i think i will resolve it in next few visits. Just been there twice.

Reviews
I’ve been coming to Designer Cuts on University for a while, and they’ve been consistently excellent. The haircuts are always well done, the prices are very reasonable, and one of the best parts is that you can usually walk in without needing an appointment.
It’s refreshing to find a place that delivers great quality without charging premium prices. If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable barber or salon in Berkeley, I definitely recommend giving Designer Cuts a try.
I typically go midweek in the mornings and have never had to wait. I never book an appointment and love that they can always take walkins. And the haircuts are good too- I am quite simple and have had a cut by two of the three staff (the proprietor is typically booked so she rarely takes walkins but that doesn’t bother me). The older gentleman is very thorough, sometimes to the point where I’d rather be done already, but I appreciate his dedication.
