    Everything I want in a barbershop, just moved in a block away. Was walking to another shop down the street that was supposed to be open but wasn't. Found this place on maps and walked over. Drove by many times the last few days and didn't notice it. I'm pretty picky when it comes to barber experiences. This place was perfect. Prado gave me a great cut for a first time seeing me, listened to what I wanted, but also put his own style to the haircut. Shaped my beard, and hit me with the razor line up which is the sign of a real barber. Prices were as fair as they get in Sacramento, I'm sure they vary a little by barber. Happy to stumble upon this great little barbershop...read full review

    Amazing service and great vibes. Great shop banter and they’re pretty funny. I previously had a pretty bad experience so I stayed away for a while and decided to give them another chance. The individual I had a bad experience with is no longer there and Axel who cut my hair this time did an amazing job and really listened to what I wanted in a cut. I’ll be returning and they won over a new customer. Give them a try.
