Best Barber Shops In San Marcos

“Went in with my son and tried something new. Very pleased with the haircut. Best barbershop I have been to.“

“Highly recommend Bailey! She was so sweet with my 6yo and he got the best haircut ever!“

“I have been here twice, once with Anthony and once with Gabriel. Both times I had great service and felt very welcome. I have little to no knowledge about razors, clippers, and short hair styles in general but they took good care of me and helped me achieve what I was aiming for. Good environment too. Very understanding and they charge a very decent price for the quality of service.“

“Been here a couple times and every time the door is locked and nobody is there. Nobody answers the phone either. Is this place still open?“

“Took my son in for a haircut for the 1st time today based on a recommendation from my nail lady. This is a local family owned business and is well known in San Marcos. Upon walk in, I immediately noticed how friendly and welcoming the barbers were; I came in with my 3 kids after booking an apt a few days prior. Jeffry did a phenomenal job with my son's hair, accommodated all of his requests, and even inquired about his soccer career. Photo included for reference. This shop is clean and professional, while waiting I looked at several other barbers work it was very precise/custom to each client. Pricing is comparable to other shops. Highly recommend. They do get busy, so make sure to book head.“

“First time in and the gentle is a true professional and artist. Great cut. Very skilled and detailed. Definitely will be back.“

“This is were my barber moved to, the place is really clean and professional (all of the barbers) they all very friendly and highly recommended , just be advised that they always have not a very appropriate music for minors.“

“I’ve been getting my haircut by Drew before he even moved to this location. After having traveled all over the USA for the last few years for work, I had to use at least 60 different barbers and can honestly say Drew has always been the more detailed with his work out of anybody else. If I lived in SoCal I’d be a regular again like I was years ago but now I’m always on the move. One thing I’ve noticed about Drew as compared to other barbers, is he always cares about the details, the little things. Other barbers want to rush it, and don’t do basic stuff that I assumed all barbers did just because I was accustomed to Drew’s meticulousness any time I got my haircut from him. I can honestly say Drew is responsible in some way for me dating so many SoCal baddies because he had my haircut looking fresh so I had the confidence to shoot my shot at girls out of my league! Also, Drew is a chill barber, one you actually can chat with. Some barbers I’ve experienced are either dead silent and not friendly, or they talk wayyy too much, but chatting with Drew was always good vibes.
Quality work, cleanliness, cool vibes are the 3 main things I want in a barber and Drew checks all 3 boxes.

James is his coowner is also good people. I’ve never gotten cut by him but I’ve seen his work and he’s legit too. These guys, Drew and James were coming into my family’s restaurant back in the day when I was in my early 20’s and they always tipped well, were respectful and good vibes so you know they’re good people too. Two solid guys running a great barbershop. I highly recommend.“

“Jesse's is the best Barber shop in the area, for all age groups! I got haircut from Jesse once and Mercedes the other time. Both did a wonderful job. My take is, you can pick any of the stylists and you won't go wrong. Very gentle, warm and polite hairstylists. The stylists are attentive and gave me the exact haircut I was looking for. This place deserves its high rating.“

“Justin did an awesome job with the cut. Listened and gave me exactly what I asked for. His suggestions were also spot on to make it look even better. Great vibe, great conversations, great crew. 10/10 would recommend“

“Excellent service, short wait, very friendly, nice vibe, new business and reasonably priced.“

“Brandon gave an excellent cut. I walked in and he was able to accommodate me. I explained what I wanted done with my hair and Brandon did it perfectly. Highly recommend!“

“Mario has been cutting my hair for years, I have Brought friends, family, and everyone in between to his chair. The man is an artist. And the top tier crew are all phenomenal barbers and people. I cant Recommend this shop enough!“

“Well, I was waiting for a coupon on my phone, but never got one but otherwise they have a good team there“

“Great barbershop. I have been getting my haircut for about 10yrs at this barbershop. Always on point and great service. Alex and Vincent are both pros.“

“Best barber l've ever had. I don't make this claim lightly. I'm in my mid 40s. I've been getting fades since I was a teenager, so know I mean it when I say it.

Fairway fades is the newest venture from Eric. Everything from the aesthetic, to the customer service, to the membership is top notch. Oh, did I mention a membership? Yes! You pay a monthly fee and all services are included (haircut, beard, eyebrows) twice a month. Want an additional cut? Just pay half! Amazing deal.

Now here's what makes this place so unique. In the works is a golf driving range simulator! What!? Seriously!? YES!

This place is like a bougie country club where you can play golf and get an expert shave under the same roof!

So in conclusion, Fairway fades is legitimately the best spot to get an amazing haircut and work on your golf swing. It's an extremely unique idea crafted from master barber, Eric. Even the location was expertly chosen. It's located next door to Shores Bar + Kitchen!
Very well planned and executed. So yeah, I give Fairway fades my highest recommendation.“
