Chris, Cory, and the rest of the monarch team have crushed it so far since opening. I've had Chris cut my hair for over a year now, but he lined me up super fresh for my wedding. Can't say enough good things about Monarch. PS, go through the Booksy app to save some time.

The shop has a good vibe, staff was friendly, Erick gave me a great haircut, listened to what I asked for. Good attention to detail which I appreciate. My only complaint is not being able to take CC which is a bummer. Other than that good shop 🤘🏻
Hands down the best barbershop in downtown San Diego. I’ve had cuts from Patrick, Chris, and Erick, and every single one of them delivers. Great attention to detail, consistently sharp cuts, and an awesome atmosphere. You really can’t go wrong with any of these guys.

Great people, great conversations, and even better haircuts. These guys genuinely care about their customers, and it shows. If you’re looking for a barber in downtown… read full review
