I am visiting my sister in San Jose and needed to get my haircut. I found proper cuts because they were close to where my sister lived. I was very happy with the result. My barber has the same name as me (shout out to the Ben’s of the world) which is a great start. He gave me exactly the cut I asked for. The place has great vibes, good music, friendly people and make sure you check out their merch I copped their SJ sharks/Japantown shirt. This is the type of place you find once and continue to go to for the rest of your life. Great community great experience, should definitely check this place out

Walked in with my son one weekend and Ben took great care of him, amazing haircut! Now both my sons come here and they both see Ben exclusively. Super professional, and the other barbers are just as welcoming. Highly recommend! The area is nice as well since it is in Japantown.
