Best Barber Shops In San Diego

“This is a no attitude barber shop with very friendly employees. Had my beard trimmed today by Misha and it is perfect as always! Thanks!“

“Great cut every time, never delayed and extremely reliable. Could not recommend enough“

“Isaiah was awesome! Very personable and careful about how he cut my hair. It was a first time visit for me and explained how I usually cut my hair, but asked for a recommendation on a bit of a different look - and he nailed it while not changing it too much. I will be coming back, thanks Isaiah!“

“Just walked in for a cut from AJ and everything was perfect and very reasonably priced. They have a pool table while you wait as well, highly recommend“

“First straight razor shave experience was fantastic, definitely recommended. Thank you Jerry!“

“John is one of the coolest people and best barbers I have came across. His service is always professional and his attention to detail is amazing. His scissor work is definitely the best out of all the barbers I have been to.“

“Went in Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Visiting from the Bay for a wedding and my man needed a clean up! Called and they were easy going and available for walk-in! The spot had ample seating (couches and plenty of chairs). Music was fun and the staff was friendly and even offered refreshments to both of us. Just from observation, every barber is meticulous about their work and thoroughly clean their tools and space. Highly recommend this spot, A+ customer service and experience.“

“Great place for to get a haircut. Treats you like family and will fix what others can’t/wont. They’re open 7 days a week from 7:30 AM- 9:30PM“

“It’s a shame it’s been two years for me to finally write this post. This place is amazing. The attention and care they give to every cut is unmatched. For over two years now, Chelsea has taken great care of me. Her and the rest of her crew can get you ready for the week. Causal SoCal cuts, to crisp fades and professional clean looks, they got your style. Even helped me through my mustache phase ?.“

“Talented barber! Tony does amazing skin fades. Friendly and professional. The 5 star reviews say it all.“

“I had never gone to a barber shop before so my first cut and did not know what to experience when I walked in. I was great by one of the barbers who was very friendly and asked if I had booked with anyone. I said Yes Robert he pointed me to his chair where one of my work friends was getting his haircut as well. Once Robert got done cutting my buddies hair asked plenty of questions before started to cut my hair. I didn't mention earlier but this haircut my wedding day haircut run. To say he did a masterful job is an understatement. When I got home to show my fiancé she said "you better go back for your wedding haircut there" which I did do and he did equally as good of a job. Robert is a master at his craft and I can also see the rest of the barbers there do a great job with their cuts. The overall vibe of the barber shop is chill. They play good music that isn't to loud. I recommend anyone who wants a quality cut to come here. I do not think anyone else can cut my hair now.“

“Kenny at Matte Blvck is one of the most skilled barbers out there. This dude is my absolute forever barber. His cuts and fades are truly next level, but what’s even more impressive is his work with color! If you’re ever wanting to try something new, I urge you to go with Kenny because he can literally do it all. Thoroughly impressed with his talent and his personality is just the cherry on top. The dude is just awesome to chop it up with. Ask to see some of his work with color and he’s got videos/examples for days. If there’s an election for barber of the year in SD, I will straight up rig that election and vote 1,000 times for this guy. There just ain’t no one better. Thanks for the amazing service, Kenny! Keep being the creative force that you are. Let’s run it back every 3-4 weeks for the next 25 years.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Beard Whisperer of San Diego ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If Leonardo da Vinci had painted The Mona Lisa’s beard, his name would’ve been David Arredondo at Pappy’s Barbershop. I’ve had a lot of beard trims in my life. Some were okay, some were good, and a few left me looking like I lost a bet. But then… I met David. Folks, this man isn’t just a barber — he’s the Picasso of precision, the Michelangelo of manliness, the Beethoven of beard symmetry. From the moment you sit in his chair, you know you’re in the presence of greatness. He greets you like an old friend, listens carefully to what you want, and then executes a trim so perfectly balanced it could make the Golden Ratio jealous. My jawline has never looked sharper. I left Pappy’s feeling like I should have my own cologne deal, motorcycle commercial, and possibly a Netflix special. And the man’s politeness game? Off the charts. I’ve met priests less kind and monks less serene. David treats your beard with more respect than most people treat their firstborn child. Bottom line: If you’re in San Diego and you’ve got a beard, go see David. Don’t think about it. Don’t hesitate. Just book the appointment. Your future self — the one with the perfectly trimmed beard, unmatched confidence, and at least three unsolicited compliments from strangers — will thank you. Five stars. No… infinity stars. ✨ Cheers, Travis“

“Shelbee is the best, great at cutting long hair and giving a personalized experience. I’d give 6 stars if I could“

“Since moving to San Diego, I had a very tough time finding a barber who truly knows how to cut and shape my ethnic beard. I went to several salons with great reviews, but most were overpriced. After a lot of trial and error, I finally found my go-to barber—Savan. Thank you for always taking care of me bro!

Every visit is handled with the highest level of respect and professionalism. The shop itself is brand new, located in a nice, posh area with easy parking.

Prices are reasonable , the service is on point, and the results are consistently excellent. I highly recommend this place.“

“Nick is the best! I’ve been cutting my hair with him for a year now. He always takes good care of my hair and beard and does a perfect job every time. Highly recommend!“

“I randomly picked JJs because it’s near my house. Got put in Christian’s chair and now it’s the only chair for me. I have gotten so many compliments on my cut I can’t put a number on it. Christian is really cool and easy to talk to. He takes time and makes sure your getting exactly what you’re looking for. Can’t say his enough about his service. Thanks Christian. See you next time.“

“Great place to get a quality haircut with high attention to detail. I highly recommend Jazmin for the best chat and cut!“

“Just moved back to SD and came at the recommendation of a friend. My boy needed a birthday cut ✂️ and Arkan did not disappoint. Patient and took his time. Really impressed with the shop - warm and welcoming. When you enter all the barbers greet you, offer you a cold drink, and couches are comfortable. I enjoyed the relaxing music they had playing - a break from the exhaustive day.
Arkan was our guy today but I observed ALL customers in seats were getting fresh and clean cuts so you won’t go wrong with any of them.
On the way out, Arkan offered my boy a toy and lollipop and another barber (sorry i didn’t catch his name) offered some chips for him to take.
Solid shop and highly recommend!“

“Daniel been cutting my hair for 10+ years and most recently started cutting my 3 year old and 5 year old. Great cuts everyone and my kids love getting haircuts here as well!“

“Great friends, great barbers! They were the first barbershop I went to after moving to OB six years ago. I’ve never thought about going anywhere else because no barbershop I’ve been to compares. I’ve had my hair cut by everyone there, and they’re all amazing at their craft.“

“Rich is a true barber, providing both a professional haircut and banter you can appreciate. Rich was inquisitive on the type of haircut requested and performed the cut well above industry standard, earning repeat business for any future grooming needs.“

“I’ve been going to Sam for years! It’s so hard to find a good barber but once you find one like Sam- you are good to go!!

The shop has easy parking and is in a great area. There is a nice waiting area too.“

“Ronnie hooked me up with a sweet, classic clipper fade for my wedding. I really appreciate their looking out for me and all their great work!“

“I’ve been a client of Sam’s for over two years, and he’s consistently delivered precise, professional haircuts and beard trim every time. He takes great care with each cut and ensures the results are always sharp and clean. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable barber in PB.“
