“Love this shop and Worm, been going here since they opened! Super clean fades in the mission“

“This salon is such a beautiful, bright space with lots of plants and a great atmosphere. Jaime G is my go-to for everything from cuts and color, to routine maintenance. He is consistently kind, attentive, and thoughtful in his approach. I always feel well taken care of in his chair. I highly recommend booking with him.“

“Nich is the best barber I’ve been to in San Francisco and I’ve lived here for 15+ years. He’s a genuinely nice guy who cares a lot about making you look and feel good and does great cuts - my grow outs are always super clean, and he doesn’t even mind that my beard is super thick and gnarly to deal with. Thanks so much buddy!“

“Best barber i have been to, and go all over the world and each place make sure to visit a barber. The execution and quality was top notch, the decor all has a story, and Caesar is a true artist. It was what a barbershop should be, great work, some good banter and laughs. In short amazing.“

“Best vibes - that's the kicker. Plus easy to talk to, good ppl. Best value. And ofc great beard trim + hair cut“

“I had a standout service with Sage today. I have been getting my undercut done here whenever I've been in town over the past couple of years. Sage refined my shape and trimmed my curly crown and it was a restorative experience after a not so great one.“

“5 stars
Honestly one of the best kept secrets in the Castro. Great cuts, super friendly barbers, and the prices are unreal for this neighborhood. Place is always clean too which I appreciate. Ruth incredible!“

“Lucas is the best barber I have ever had. He's extremely detail oriented and dedicated to his craft. He's also taken a consultative approach and helped me to try new products, lengths, and hairstyles with total patience. Couldn't recommend him more highly.“

“Been going to Carlos for a couple years before he came here, he always takes his time and makes sure I'm satisfied with everything before finishing up. He puts a lot of effort and attention to detail into doing a clean fade. Hot towel treatment after the haircut is a nice touch. Shop is well maintained and in good order.“

“I highly recommend Locals Barbershop in San Francisco, especially Alexis! I’ve been getting my haircut by Alexis for quite some time now, and the experience is always top-notch. Alexis is always on time, professional, and pays incredible attention to detail. Most importantly, my haircut comes out perfect every single time.

Beyond the quality of the haircut, Alexis is genuinely a pleasant person to be around and makes every appointment enjoyable and relaxed. It’s great having a barber you can trust to consistently deliver exactly what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for a skilled, reliable, and professional barber in San Francisco, definitely book with Alexis at Locals Barbershop.“

“Great place for a cut, all the barbers are super easy to book with and are great at what they do. I go here regularly to see Velo, I've also brought my kids. I'd highly recommend this to anyone in need of a cut. Also you book online so that is very convenient.“

“Best haircuts I’ve ever gotten, really takes the time to understand what you want and explain how to get there. Fire playlist too“

“i wish i could do this every week lol. Best experience I ever had cutting my hair...was amazing..JJ cut my hair and beard...super cool guy!“

“Parents working in AI should reflect on what future they are helping shape for their children as energy-intensive AI growth outpaces what the planet can sustainably support.“

“As someone with straight Asian hair, finding a stylist who understands weight removal is rare. Aric gave me the cleanest, most precise cut I’ve ever had. It actually keeps its shape for 3-4 months.“

“On my way back to NYC and was crestfallen I couldn’t find a quality men’s cutter. Even went to Barrow, a supposedly high end stylist in SF and they were AWFUL and got the most boring cut ever. The cut is a short faux mullet, Beckham/Neymar inspired… a more difficult and thoughtful design that usually costs a lot and few can do correctly.
Mely crushed it. Took her time and was extremely patient with the process of getting it done right.
When I am back, I’ll return 100%!!!!“
