Best Barber Shops In San Francisco

“Hands down the best barbershop in north beach. The barbers are so friendly and immediately make you feel at home in the minute you walk in. Not to mention, they gave me the best haircut ever. I have tried a few shops before but I’m definitely sticking with this one.“

“One of the best salon/barbers in the Bay Area that has kept me coming back for 3+ years

Hair type: Men’s hair, short, thick

Stylist: Franz Jeremy“

“One of the best haircuts I've ever gotten! Highly recommend! You might have to wait a bit to get a spot, but it is worth it. Going here from now on!“

“Shoutout to Melissa, who has taken care of my haircuts since I moved to the city. She's been highly knowledgeable, friendly, and creative with the cuts she's given me over the past year, and I have never been dissatisfied. The shop is very clean. Also, the stylists and front desk employees are very friendly. It's a shame I'll need to find a new barbershop once I move out of the city, but I'm glad I could patronize this Public Barber location during my time there.“

“I recently switched over to this shop from a recommendation and love it! The guys know what they’re doing, period. It’s the perfect cut, with no messing around. It’s also a bit cheaper than other barbershops in the area and I always have great conversations. I highly recommend you make your way here if you’re looking for the right cut, at the right price, with a great team!“

“SaBaaiGuy has a warm, comfortable space that's easy to feel at ease in. He uses a variety of techniques and does an excellent job with all of them. Highly recommend.“

“I have been regularly getting cuts for both my son and I at Mike's. I am always incredibly pleased with the quality of the cuts. I've had a handful of different barbers cut my hair here and every time has been great. You can't go wrong here!“

“Locals has a great vibe and the barbers all seem friendly and talented, judging from the happy customers afterwards. Luke cut my hair and not only listened to what I wanted but executed it perfectly. He took his time to make sure I got the right cut and I recommend him highly! Thanks again, Luke!“

“Best barber I’ve been to in quite some time. Gabriel is an amazing barber, great conversation, clean shop, fair price. My hair and beard look amazing.“

“Super friendly and had a great cut, just show them a picture and they'll help you out. Shop is cute and there's parking on the street prior. Street is one way so park in the blocks before you get there!“

“Great experience with Kate (I’ve been seeing her for years). I have curly hair and she always does a great job. Great neighborhood shop with reasonable prices for the city.“

“I took my son to get a haircut at the shop and was greeted right away by Mr. Martinez. After a discussing the cut, Hector got right to work and brought my sons hair back and ready for school picture day. We were very pleased to say the least, and have been booking with Mr. Martinez ever since. Aside from the great cuts, this is by far the cleanest and most professional Shop I've ever step foot in! Another big one for me, is the consistent punctuality of all the appointments we've made with Mr. Martinez. We are happy to call Hector Our New Barber!“

“Austin is amazing. A total professional and takes his craft seriously. Truly represents the high standards that this barbershop sets. The hair cut was awesome, the hospitality is next level with offering drinks, having a clean bathroom and outstanding customer service overall. Best place to get your hair cut in The Bay. Schedule asap as this place is always in high demand.“

“Arvin is best haircut stylist I known for past 8+ years. I always go back to him to get fresh comb over fade. He pays attention to details and takes his time cutting your hair. This is not a quick shop haircut place. Highly recommend to call and set up an appointment to get your haircut.“

“Eisten is always so nice and really pays attention to detail when I get my haircut. The prices are very reasonable, and he’s extremely talented.“

“The best barber in the city! Rafael is amazing. His attention to detail is incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Without a doubt, the best haircut I've had in years!
Shout out to Armand“

“I've been going to Kyle for years and can't recommend him highly enough. He's got a fantastic one-chair shop where he works his magic. He's knowledgeable about all things hair, he's fun to talk to, and he's always got some interesting music or videos playing if you feel like avoiding small talk (though usually we get into some really great conversations).

Pro-tip: I like to pass by the old and slow elevator and take the whimsical spiral stairs to the 2nd floor instead :)“

“I needed a beard cleanup on a recent trip to SF and I’m so glad I found Ed - he’s the only person I’ll go back to whenever I’m here. He clearly knows his stuff, he and his space are friendly and inviting, and the environment is infinitely better than any barbershop I’ve ever been to. Nowhere else have I ever been the sole client and only point of focus for the entirety of my service. And he made me look like a million bucks to boot - the fade and lineup were impeccable. Well worth your money to book in with Ed.“

“Church always takes care of me. White man fade, hot towel shave, house made lotion/potion for your skin. Good music and mellow vibe.“

“7 Years of Excellence and Counting

I’ve been a loyal customer of The Barber Hood for 7 years, and I can confidently say it’s the best barbershop in town. Whether you’re looking for a classic cut, a modern style, or just great conversation, this is the place to be.

The owner, Jay, whom I’ve known since the beginning, has always been committed to providing an exceptional experience. His attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is unmatched. Each visit is not just a haircut but an experience of genuine care and professionalism.

The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and stylish—exactly what you want from a barbershop. Over the years, I’ve always left the chair feeling sharp and confident. If you’re looking for consistent, top-notch service, look no further than The Barber Hood. I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Nikki always gives sharp cuts and fades. I was a regular while I was living in the neighborhood.“

“The shop is always clean, the barbers are friendly, the cuts are good and the conversation is always entertaining . This barbershop has become a staple in the neighborhood. Pull up & ask for JB or any of the other barbers.“

“Rodney is the best and takes care of his customers. I have been going to Rodney for 5 years and can't imagine anyone else cutting my hair.“

“Great barbershop. Location is perfect for locals in sunset. Clean and professional atmosphere. Highly recommend!!“
