Best Barber Shops In San Marcos

“I’ve been coming to American Deluxe Barbershop for years now. I originally used to drive 18 miles to their Oceanside location, so I was thrilled when they opened up right here in San Marcos—now it's just a quick 2-mile drive for a top-tier haircut!

​Gabby is my go-to barber, but honestly, the whole staff are top-notch, awesome barbers—huge shoutout to Nico, Dago, Dave, Chris, Marisa, and Marvin (a great new addition to the team!). Fantastic vibe, welcoming crew, and consistently high-quality cuts. Wouldn't go anywhere else! 😎🫶🏼“

“Junior does an incredible job at cutting mens medium to longer hair as well as shorter styles. I've been getting my longer hair cut by him for a while now and he really just knows how to layer and texture and give a solid cut. 100% recommend him“

“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.“

“Very nice and clean shop. The hair cut was nicely done. My daughter loves her post cut hair style.“

“Berto is the man! From the moment I walked in,to the moment I walked out it was a great experience! He gave me A really good haircut, I will definitely come back. Thank you, berto for your services ✌ -Juan“

“Hands down the best barber in San Diego County. The price is always fair, so don't forget to give a little $$ as a thank you!! I would definitely recommend To all my family and friends but they already go here!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Yessi is a skilled, polite, attentive stylist who seems to truly care about her clients. I always have a great experience at Sport Clips!“

“Rey has been cutting my hair and trimming my beard for almost 10 years and he nails it every time! If you're looking a shop with good vibes and good people, this is the one.“

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

“I've been going with Daveon for a while now and he never disappoint if your looking for a new barber Daveon is the guy to go to“

“Fade Society has great barbers and an awesome atmosphere. I can always count on them to get me looking sharp with a clean, fresh fade every time.“

“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.“

“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 going here for years.Ann cuts my hair & does a great job. A barber shop - but its not just for boys. 2 Great stylists.“
