Best Barber Shops In Oakland

“Jaycob did an outstanding job on my haircut. His ability to combine a precise scissor cut with clean clipper work is a rare skill, and he absolutely nailed it. The blend was seamless, the details were on point, and the final result exceeded my expectations.

It’s hard to find a barber who truly masters both techniques, but Jaycob clearly does. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier craftsmanship and attention to detail. I appreciated our conversations and he is very easy to get along with. Thank you!“

“Had a great experience at Golden Roots Barber Lounge. It was our first visit and we will definitely be back. Booking was easy and I was able to get a same day appointment. Yonas (the owner) did an excellent job. The cut was precise, clean, and very professional. I could immediately tell that he truly cares about both his craft and his business. He was very polite and had a warm, welcoming energy that made us feel comfortable. The shop itself is beautiful, modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. It is a really nice space to have in the neighborhood and gives an elevated barbershop experience.

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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!“

“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.“

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