I've been coming here for 2 years now. The shop gives great basic haircuts (which is all I ever get), especially if you stick to choosing pictures on the wall. They're consistent, and my partner always loves how I look when I come home after getting a hair cut from here.
If you're looking for a high end stylist, this probably isn't your place. But for a <$30 haircut in Palo Alto, it's hard to beat. Plus they're very friendly and accommodating of walk-ins.
About Campus Barber Shop
Campus Barber Shop is the best place for a traditional Stanford men's haircut. It offers a simple and fast experience, where customers can walk in, point at a picture of the desired haircut, pay $25, and walk away with a great-looking crew cut. The barbers are talented, and the service is quick, with a typical fade taking just 15 minutes. This no-frills, local shop is cash-only, but the price and quality are unbeatable, making it a favorite among customers.

A simple and fast experience. You walk in point at picture of the haircut and pay up 25$ and walk away. With the cost and speed, I think they are doing the best job possible. Really appreciate the folks here to keep things simple and affordable.

Great place to get a basic crew cut, dare I say the best place! I was in and out within half an hour, received a terrific looking crew cut, and only paid $25. I’ve had my haircut at a smattering of places across the nation and Campus Barber Shop is the best I have experienced. Can’t beat the price and quality.
