    Found Chad and Steel&Strand 7 years ago and never looked back. Highly recommend. Great vibe and the barbershop is a staple of the community on Valencia street. Wouldn’t consider any other place. Chad is one of a kind but all of the barbers seem to be great.

    Best SF barbershop! I've been getting my hair cut by Andy for a while now, and I can't recommend him enough. He's incredibly professional and detail-oriented — you can tell he genuinely takes pride in his craft.

    My hair isn't the easiest to work with (it's thick and curly), but he handles it like a pro every single time. I always leave feeling sharp and confident. He's also super reliable — any time I've needed a last-minute cut for an event or emergency, he's made it work without hesitation.

    If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and takes the time to get it right, Andy is your guy, and if he is busy he'll get you the right teammate.
