Best Barber Shops In Oakland

“I've been coming to this barbershop for several years, and my barber, Juan, always gets me looking sharp. No matter the style or cut, he consistently delivers great results and pays attention to the details.

The G Circle Barber Lounge team is incredibly talented when it comes to haircuts and styling. They take the time to ask the right questions, listen to what you want, and make sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience.

A huge shoutout to Juan and the entire team! Your professionalism, skill, and customer service are second to none. Thank you for always making me feel like a valued customer. You guys are the best!“

“Best barbershop in Oakland. Excellent customer service, clean space and good vibes. Everything a barbershop should be.“

“BEST HAIR SALON PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO and i’ve been to a LOT of places in the bay. avery gave me exactly what i wanted!“

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

“Great haircuts! I keep getting compliments! Ask for Jess. She does a great job even though my hair has a tone cowlicks. They also give fun little bottle of Coca Cola sometimes if you have to wait. I don’t like coke but in case you do this is your place!!!!!!!!“

“Finding a consistent barber shop is tough, but this place is amazing. This was my second time coming in, and the service is excellent. I end up with a great cut, a wonderful hairstyle, and awesome designs. I’ll definitely be back“

“Best shop in the Bay. Dan is amazing and the experience is always good. Cuts kids hair too and my kids love going to get their haircut now.“

“I loved Charles's spot; it was probably one of the most vibe-y barbershops I've ever been to. Charles does great hair, but also takes good care of you conversationally and plays good music. I'd fly back up here to get another haircut, and if I move to the Bay, I will exclusively be coming here.“

“Been going here for some time now and every time is better than the last. Do something nice for yourself and make and appointment here. You'll look great!“

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

“This is an outstanding place to go to. You will benefit from the conversation, care, cleanliness and your look.“

“Mr. Krispy best Barber in Oakland ! Reliable always open Monday -Sunday including Holidays! Great Cuts , Great atmosphere Ben coming here for years and highly recommended for all ages .“

“My son was looking for a local, 5 star barber for his first real barber experience and found Sir Kezzy. And the 5 star treatment is what he provided. He took time to connect and get the details of the cut right. He was very thoughtful and the shop looks great. Clearly he’s doing good work and his heart is into it. Thank you!“

“This was the best experience I’ve ever had with a barber, it was hospitality of the highest level. It was memorable, I even got a facial and got home looking and feeling like $1 million. I highly recommend that you go and experiencing the difference.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cedric’s Barbershop represents the heart of the Bay — skill, experience, and real community energy. Cedric and the team create a welcoming space where everyone feels at home, and the craftsmanship behind every cut speaks for itself. It’s more than a barbershop — it’s a place of conversation, mentorship, and culture. Proud to be part of the team and to see how much this shop continues to influence and uplift the neighborhood.

“Best barber shop in the world. The people who run the place treat you like family, and always do a fantastic job. My biggest regret in life is losing my hair and not needing to visit anymore. There's also a really cool, handsome dude from Texas who comes in from time to time and buys pizza from the world-famous Zacharys to share with everyone!!“

“The best spot in town for a haircut do yourself a favor and stop in for a good cut and convo.“

“Great place to get a cut, but depends on the barber. I highly recommend Shuzea, she did a fantastic job, was super nice and considerate, and offered amazing advice. I had a friend who went and she wasn’t satisfied with her cut, so I think it depends on who you get, or maybe it’s just better for mens haircuts, I’m not sure. But if you can book with Shuzea, do it!“

“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.“

“Had an appointment with Sarah a couple weeks ago, such a great experience. Such a cool person. Listened to my convoluted and probably contradictory vision and she somehow did everything I wanted in like 30 minutes. It has grown out phenomenally in the last two weeks and I just had to say thank you!!“

“Excellent haircut and outstanding service. She took the time to show me a reference on the wall to confirm the exact length I wanted, which I really appreciated. I’m extremely satisfied with the result. The next time I’m in Oakland, I will definitely return to Mani’s for another haircut.“

“Came with my 2nd grade son and both got haircuts quickly. Griff is easy to talk to and great at taking his time with a cut. My son had a great time. We'll absolutley be back!“

“I now live in Seattle but spent about 7 years in California. Frank and May always kept me right during those years. I finally made my way back to the town this past weekend and got the pleasure of getting a cut by Frank. I got to say, it was absolutely amazing. My wife loved the cut too which is always a plus! Frank is the GOAT and I really appreciate the time I spend in his chair. It felt like home! Love this shop and will continue to come back every time I’m in the town. Love you Frank, T, little Gray, and most importantly May!“

“Very nice clean fun and bright environment to be in especially if you have a boy toddler im sure he’ll love it here 🤗“

“Andrei C. cut my hard to cut curly hair with precision and flare. He was focused and clearly skilled at his craft. He’s kind and quiet but easy to talk with if when I initiated a conversation. Mostly we talked about how to care for my hair and how to style it myself when I went home. He had great ideas. He loves his profession. And it shows. I highly recommend him if you want to leave feeling beautiful.“
