    Lucas has been cutting my hair for about a year now. He’s always detail orientated and consistent. This was my hair right before my first cut, and this is my hair after my most recent cut. Highly recommend him!

    Lucas is the man for all things hair. He has cut my hair for over a year and recently cut my dad’s hair. We have different hair types and he did stellar work on both of us. If you’re looking for a new barber, definitely look for an appointment with Lucas.

    I recently moved back to the Bay Area and the prospect of finding a new barber felt intimidating to say the least. Luckily, I hit the mark with my first cut at Church.

    Lucas was on hand to give me a professional scissor cut that not only mirrored the reference photos I showed him from my last haircut in LA, but he actually improved upon the look. He pushed the envelope just enough to keep my look familiar yet opened the door to whats possible with future cuts. The man knew what he was doing!

    The shop has a clean layout with a modern-yet-warm vibe in a beautiful neighborhood. Step out the chair and walk around to show off your new cut indeed!
