Men Haircuts by Lilian

Mar 2025

Men Haircuts by Lilian is off Woodside Rd and Central Avenue in RWC in a Strip mall, between Dunkin' Donuts and 3 small restaurants. It is not a Salon, it is haircuts for Men, as the name clearly says, and it is by appointment only. This shop is very busy, so appointments in advance are necessary. However, she uses an app for the appointments, so it will go on your Google calendar, and send you reminders of your appointment date and time. Efficient!

Lillian is Vietnamese but speaks perfect English. She is very personable and very efficient in her haircuts. She has over 20 years experience and just celebrated 20 years at this location, her own shop.

However, she uses an app for the appointments, so it will go on your Google calendar, and send you reminders of your appointment date and time. Efficient! Lillian is Vietnamese but speaks perfect English. She is very personable and very efficient in her haircuts. She has over 20 years experience and just celebrated 20 years at this location, her own shop. There is nothing fancy here... no slick salon type decor, no fancy product displays, no barber chair shave and steam towel, no metrosexual eyebrow trim ( or doesn't promote that), not even a hair shampoo and head massage in a sink. (I told you this is not a salon!) Nope! Just OG wood waiting chairs, and 1 client chair, one person at a time. She has a strong dedicated customer base, all men. They want a strait-forward hair cut the way they like, no nonsense, with pleasant conversation and the results they want, in short order. Her dedicated clients and popularity confirm this approach, because this is not a cheap haircut by any means, this is not those discount chains that are mall adjacent with sports driven flat screens to distract you till your cut is over. There isn't a TV in the place! Nope, just a perky, personable professional that makes her clients keep returning like clockwork! I have been going here for about 2 - 3 years, after I moved away from my old Vietnamese hair cutters, post pandemic. If you live in the mid-peninsula area and want a good haircut consistently with the same person every time (by appointment) , give this shop a try! Open 8:30a to 4:30p, 5 days per week, Tuesday through Saturday.

Lilian has been my go-to barber for well over a decade. She is friendly, efficient, and gives an extraordinary haircut at a reasonable price. On the rare occasions when I've been on the road and gone to other barbers, I am reminded what a mistake it is not to wait until I get back to Redwood City and see Lilian! I really appreciate that several years ago Lilian started requiring an appointment, which makes getting a cut from her even easier and more efficient -- and it forces me to plan ahead!
