Best Barber Shops In Oakland

“Love this place, safe , convenient location, and the best part is the barber. Nick has been my barber for a good time now and no complaints since first haircut .

Would recommend this place to everyone , you don’t wanna miss out!“

“I got a great haircut from Avery! I came to my appointment with a clear sense of what I wanted and a complete inability to effectively describe it, and Avery was able to make it happen. Their prices are super reasonable and we ended up having extra time so they gave me a wash and style at the end of my cut.The space itself is sort of whatever to me, but Avery did a great job giving me a look that worked with my hair texture and the aesthetic I was hoping for, and one that requires, as I want, very little to be done to it in the morning. Would definitely go back next time I am in need of a haircut in Oakland, and have convinced a few of my local friends to try them out!“

“Marcos is highly skilled, attentive and creative with helping you get a great hair cut and style. Highly recommend as a local barber shop.“

“I've always been a regular, Sonia is a 10/10 hairstylist, barber, and person - so much so I've put off getting a haircut if I knew i would be flying back to the bay area sometime soon. The perks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks while you wait) are a great touch.“

“Haircut by Sam. Very friendly guy, easy to talk to. Did a great haircut. Listened to my wishes and did what I asked, turned out nicely. Reasonable prices. Will visit again.“

“Great haircut, Barbara very personable, for the Bay Area prices reasonable.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx“

“Great barber shop in Oakland. Came here on recommendation from some Berkeley and Oakland locals and have returned four times. Each time the cut is different, and always very good. Booking 3-4 weeks ahead recommended using Booksy.“

“First I must say, this barber is very professional, the willingness to do the job he got it all, most importantly if I don't tell you, you can't know it's a unit. And im very happy about that, I recommend this barber I'm very pleased thanks again!!“

“Thanks to the man who gave me a good looking hair cut!
I would come back to get a better hair cut with desgin!“

“I was there for the first time. I got what I wanted it and definitely I will be back. 100% I recommend this place. Great people“

“I’m visiting family here over Christmas break, but I currently live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wesley did an amazing job making me feel welcome and asked some great questions.

His passion for his work really shows, and he gave me an incredible haircut on top of that.

I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Had the pleasure of letting Cedric cut my hair. Great service and would recommend him to anyone that is visiting in the Oakland area.“

“Nasir’s precision, attention to detail, and the patience he brings to every cut are truly admirable. He takes the time to make sure everything is perfect, and it shows. My hair has never looked better, and I consistently leave his chair feeling confident and refreshed.

If you’re looking for a barber who genuinely cares about his craft and takes pride in delivering top-notch results, Nasir is your guy. Highly recommend!“

“Joy is a joy to see she knows what she doing love it love my hair when she do it and the prices are reasonable ????“

“I went to get my hair retwisted and the work was done nicely. The atmosphere was great.“

“I was able to book with Nora for a haircut about three days out, and online. The SMS (text message) reminders made it easy to show up on time. It definitely feels like hanging out in someone's cool loft apartment. Banter was friendly, positive, and slightly snarky. The second floor location is nicer than being in a window, it feels more exclusive. It's not just philosophically better to support a local business you love, as opposed to a micro-chain, it just feels so much better.“

“Hands down the best barber shop in Oakland. Been to 3-4 before finding Blitz and every barber before Ray has let me down. Patient, takes his time and always ensure folks feel welcomed. Would highly recommend.“
