Walked in and was instantly greeted and helped by the handsome barber working. Very great personality with some killer jokes. Will definitely be returning if not just for his handiwork..
And if he ever wants to grab drinks sometime I bartend up the road.

Reviews
Hands down best barber. Been going for 12+ years from when I had long hair until now I go to get a straight razor head shave. My only hesitation from giving it a better review than this is that I'll have to hang out and enjoy the vibes longer while waiting my turn.
I just moved back to Santa Cruz and finally found my barber. Lucas is the real deal. Within a few minutes of sitting in his chair, you can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing and takes pride in his craft. The shop has great vibes, the cut was on point, and the price is fair at $35 before tip. Highly recommend.
