Best Barber Shops In Escondido

“We take my son to Lucky, and he always loves his haircuts. My son has a crazy amount of super curly hair, and Lucky gets it right every single time. He’s patient, skilled, and really knows how to work with curls. We won’t go to anyone else — highly recommend!
(I don’t have a picture of his hair finished)“

“Andy did a great job! Andy is very gentle and cut my
4 year old autistic son's hair! Highly Recommend Andy!
Thanks again Andy! See you next time!!“

“Great place to get a hair cut for all ages. I've been coming here for years and never gotten a bad haircut. They did my Son's first haircut at 9 months and they were so quick and efficient that he didnt even cry. 11/10 service! They always go above and beyond.“

“Al and Josh cut my hair on different occasions….outstanding. Some shops now focused on being too boujee or upscale/exclusive—not Del’s!

Very professional, kind (old fashioned) and accommodating. The entire shop had an amazing ambiance and you felt welcomed. Bravo Zulu! Thanks, team.

06 March 2026: Jason (3rd generation barber) took great care and tightened up my mid-fade. He and the team are the best. I live in Florida and I wish I had Del’s out there. So every time I come to visit, I make sure I get my haircut here. Top notch team, thanks!“

“This was my first time at Tailor Made; have been getting my hair cut by a sweet older lady for months and today, I just needed some grittier energy. Not disappointed. This shop is very testosterone-heavy. Great music, great banter. And, Phillip is tops at his game. He listened to what (I thought) I wanted and took his time. I am very happy with the result. Highly recommend.“

“Best place to get a fresh I got from them worth everything great to have a convo and super chillll !!!!! Definitely coming back again !!!!!!! Freshest fade u will ever see !!!!!“

“Mel was a great barber very cooperative and nice I would 100% recommend her to anyone reading this review“

“LT always does a great job on my sons hair and making him feel comfortable! It is a very welcoming space.“

“Tomas where do I even start giving fresh fades and using the clippers as if it was a pencil honeslty to me the goat cheap but good they usually say quantity or quality or quality over quantity but your getting both with this young intelligent young man“

“The Fade Lounge is on a whole different level. From the second you walk in, the energy is unmatched. You’re greeted right away, offered a complimentary drink and treated like family. The whole team is professional, friendly, and consistent. You can tell they care about their craft and their clients. Top tier service every single time. They don’t just cut hair, they perfect it. It’s more than just a haircut, it’s an experience. Definitely worth the money, you get what you pay for.

Big shoutout to Mike for always getting me right. He is consistent, professional, and truly skilled at what he does. Every time I leave the chair, I’m feeling brand new. If you’re not going to The Fade Lounge yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommend.“

“Both of my boys love going here for a fresh cut. My oldest gets his cut with Camren and my youngest with Dylan.

My oldest is always happy with his cut and my little guy who never looked forward to cuts is finally excited to go in for his hair cut.“

“Came here for the first time yesterday for a haircut/fade. I booked with Adrian and he did a fantastic job. He was super personable, professional, and is great at what he does. My haircut came out fantastic! This will definitely be my go to barbershop going forward.“

“I recently moved to Escondido. I’ve experienced many cuts but this one left me feeling fresh and krispy! Ironic that the barber who cut me hair was also named Krispy. Hahahha

From the moment I sat in this man’s chair he was cheerful and had calm energy. I’ve been loyal to my precious barber for decades, and felt a little daunted having to find a new barber shop.

I’ll tell you this, when you come to Kutthroat, you’re supporting young men who are passionate about what they do and are up and coming professionals.

I’m both very pleased and impressed with the services offered.“

“Glad I found this spot which was referred over by a friend.

I like the sides and back to be skin fade, and top to be scissor cut - my barber Thao nailed it. I am a happy camper - 5/5.

Also, what is even more important is having a great time talking random topics with my barber and the store owner - Nghi. Friendliness 5/5

Store decor has a touch of rustic industrial. The space feels very spacious, nicely lit, real neat and clean which is rare for a typical barbershop. Comfy and plenty of waiting chairs. They also have a couch & coffee table, and light drinks! Parking is plentiful and a short walk. Ambiance 4.75/5.

Pricewise, they are on the mid-tier of Escondido. $25 per typical haircut when I get there & you pay the posted price.

“Great hair studio. Small and intimate with only 4 stations. Josh is great, he takes care of my husband and two sons. Will keep coming back for years to come.“

“Very talented and professional. The only place I go! I like to watch them work. Everybody’s pleased with the results.“

“tl;dr Great haircuts, great vibe.

I walked in with an appointment. All the barbers gave me a nod to acknowledge they saw me. And after 5-10 minutes, one of them double checked to make sure I had an appointment.

They were super busy, so even just knowing all of them saw me was nice.

Adrian was professional and took the time to really listen to what I wanted. He then was willing to give me critical feedback because I was showing him haircuts that, in his expert opinion, would be decent looking on me, but not great.

Suffice to say, after having great conversation and trusting Adrian while he cut, I ended up loving the haircut! Much love to Adrian and his shop!“

“So glad I found this shop. Tony is very down to earth, you always can expect some good conversation, and a great cut. Always leave feeling and looking fresh. Prices are the most reasonable I’ve seen. I’m in Carlsbad and the trip to Escondido is always worth it. Highly recommended!“

“James did a great job trimming my hair and beard! Great place for mixed hair! Coming back for sure!“

“Easy, well staffed, available to walk-ins, affordable. We will continue to come here in the future.“

“Alex cut my hair so good and the design and I was looking like a new guy and my brother said that it looks so good“

“This is my to-go barber shop whenever I’m in North County San Diego. All barbers do a fantastic job and I never had any issues. I’ll definitely recommend the guy Raul if you need a solid haircut or shave.“

“Our stylist was attentive, energetic, and made the haircut experience really nice for my son.

Stylist: Our stylist matched the haircut from our reference picture perfectly.“
