About University Barber Shop

University Barber Shop is a well-established local barbershop in San Luis Obispo, known for its integrity and quality service. With a history spanning over 45 years, it continues to be a staple in the community. Customers appreciate the friendly and meticulous staff, including barbers like Bob and Eileen, who deliver excellent haircuts at an affordable price. Many reviews highlight the shop's value, with basic cuts priced at $20, making it one of the least expensive options in town. While appointments are not always necessary, it is recommended to check for availability. The shop recently underwent some changes, with the departure of a less favored staff member, which some customers believe has improved the overall experience. University Barber Shop remains a go-to destination for quality haircuts in a friendly atmosphere.

They cut your hair and most of the time it looks decent. Not the best layers in the world but okay layers are better than no layers. Quick and inexpensive. All the barbers there are also pretty friendly. Only gets 4 stars because last time I went they charged me $23 for a hair cut; it would be much more convenient if the flee was a flat $20 as they only take cash.
