Bushwacker Barbers

Today I had the pleasure of getting my haircut by Maria. When I arrived for my appointment (which I made that morning) I was greeted by friendly staff and only waited a couple of minutes to be seated.
Maria asked how I would like my haircut and as I explained she was offering some suggestions which I totally appreciate. She examined my hair from all angles before she got started. She used a combination of clippers and scissors to get the job done. I love that I can see her work in the larger mirror across from the chairs (no surprises). The hot foam shave to clean up the sides, neck and splash of after shave was a nice finishing touch!
This was my first time at Bushwackers. I was lucky to have my appointment with Maria who happens to be a 4^th generation barber and 16 years of experience –wow! I’m pretty particular about my hairstyle and have been trying different places. I plan to be a regular here.

Just had my first haircut here, definitely coming back next time.
Kuno is the real deal. Friendly and skilled!

Maria did a wonderful job! My hair is super thick and hard to deal with, but in her hands, it was perfect! The shop’s other barbers are friendly and had me laughing, too. Very clean and atmospheric, as well. But Maria’s work is simply superb, hands down. Never thought I’d go to a barber shop — but I’ll certainly be going again! Thanks, Maria, for ‘doing made right!

Love these guys. My son and I went in for haircuts and were taken exactly at the time of our appointment and got two girlfriend-​approved haircuts in about half an hour.
My barber was Maria and she was fantastic and my son’s was Tamara. Also great. Skilled and both communicated well.
Definitely call for an appointment as these guys are pretty busy.

My boyfriend got his hair cut here and it came out great. He called in the morning around 10am and made a same day appointment for 1pm.
It was exactly what we both wanted. He asked for something between Ryan Gosling and Calvin Harris and it came out really nice. The lady paid attention to detail and took time to achieve the look. She was friendly and my bf liked that she was not overly chatty or nosey.
Also the value is great! It’s basically $ 40+ quality for $ 22.

Tamara is amazing, I told her what I wanted and she did it to perfection. Everyone that saw my hair said it looked amazing. it was a very friendly atmosphere, and very comfortable. thank you all very much for the service and wonderful experience. thank you again Tamara.

Im from out of town on business and needed a haircut pretty bad. I was a little nervous to venture away from my regular barber but I went to Maria and she knew exactly what i was looking for and even took it one step further. I definitely recrommend Maria!

Great barbershop. Jan and Maria are both awesome, and I’ve heard good things about the others as well. Solid tapers, fades, and shear cuts.
I like the atmosphere here. It’s the kind of place I can count on for a great cut, but still feel good about bringing in my little brother.
I made a scheduling mistake today, and they were very accommodating — fit us in even though it was a packed schedule. I appreciate that.

Great, Quick, reasonably priced haircut. Had many appointment times available. Really nice and newly recovered. Maria was awesome. Definitely going back.

I would have to say that I had a great experience at bushwhacker, thanks to Kuno. The barbers were very friendly and made me feel like I have been going there for years. It is a great mix between old barber shop with a twist of modern. Great place and will be going back for sure.

I have been going to the same barbershop for 20 years and I decided that it was time for a change. Went here to get a straight razor shave (not knowing what to expect) and was extremely satisfied! I will definitely be back and have already told my friends who are also looking for a new place that this is the place to go.

I barely ever write reviews, but this place is worth it. Awesome guys place and a great cut from Kuno. He has a lot of good corny jokes too. Many TVs, numerous magazines, an arcade game, and free hot dogs!
I will be back and next time get there early!

Being a Belmont native, I’m going to rep this place super hard. Bushwacker Barbers’ space has supposedly been a barbershop for quite awhile, which I think is pretty cool. If any of the gentlemen readers are looking to get a fresh cut; ask for Jan, the guy is super cool and will always give you a badass cut.
It’s cash only and they take appointments.
Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Great job from tall Russian girl. Was very pleasant to talk to her. Good haircut, will be back in 2 weeks.

I’ve officially found my go-​to barbershop in the Bay Area. Awesome haircut and straight-​razor line up every time.
PS: Its cash-​only, but there’s a wells fargo ATM next door.

Five stars even though it’s my first time and my next time could be a while since I’m not a local. Kuno was my barber and was also one of, if not the best barber I’ve had by far. He fixed my hair and gave me an incredible new look after my previous barber f’d up. He has an arsenal of barber knowledge and you can really tell he know’s what he is doing and talking about. Kudos to you Kuno for saving my trip!

Been here several times now feel better qualified to write a review. I’ve only had my hair cut by Kuno, he does a good solid job — it’s consistent, and really fast. I was concerned the first time by how fast he was going but the end result has always been good.
He does take appointments, but depending on load, it may be 10−15m late. Fortunately, they have a Street Fighter II machine it the back patrons can play for free, which is pretty sweet. The looser appointments are fine for me, I just don’t want to wait 2 hours for drop-​in only places. If you’re an uppity tight-​ship person with no patience, then you’ll probably be disappointed here at some point.
The shop is nice, they’ve been remodeling it (e.g. several flat screen TVs). It’s a «classic» shop in that friends of the barbers drop by to shoot the breeze. It’s «barbershop» talk so again, if you’re lame and can’t stomach that, then well, I don’t know what to say, go to a salon :)

I’ve been going to Bushwackers for two years now, being a fresh transplant into San Carlos and checking it out on a friend’s recommendation. I’ve always been getting generally the same style and length cut, but being someone that isn’t very knowledgeable or well versed in hair style, I always leave a good bit of my fate in the hands of my barber. I have never been disappointed, and I always leave feeling sharp and satisfied. I’ve had 5 different employees cut my hair, but most often by Ryan and Kuno, and every person has always been very professional and skilled.
To note on some of the quirks of Bushwackers: Set an appointment time, but don’t be in a rush. A good haircut can take time, you probably wont get seated immediately. They have wifi and magazines, so just relax. The place has a casual attitude, and the employees are chatty. I personally enjoy that, it’s more personable and welcoming than a super uptight serious place. I’ve taken advantage of the occasional coffee, donuts, and licorice there as well.
For all the parents out there, Bushwackers is also a perfect place to take your toddlers, Kuno and the rest of the staff are great with kids.

Trust me Kuno C. I know what a barbershop is supposed to be like. I’ve been to plenty of them. You share your opinions, humor, good natured banter, etc. Usually the owner and haircutters are FRIENDLY to the customers, not insulting. And also KNOWLEDGEABLE about what blade to use, how to trim and cut hair, and shave the neck etc. What would you think if a plumber come to your house and asked you which wrench to use? I stand by my review. Sucky, overpriced, unfreindly place. Nevermind, I get my hair cut by my wife now. She does a much better job than your crappy barbers! Even if I were still going to barber shops there are many that are better than your sucky place!

Since I’ve moved back to the Bay Area, I needed someone to cut my hair properly. I used to think that I would never have any swag because I always wanted haircuts that genetics do not let me have and I’ve got a few bumps on my head. Since I usually get at least one haircut a month, I had plenty of opportunity to sample different spots up and down the peninsula and I think I’ve found the one.
When I first came to Bushwacker Barbers, the results had varied after each appointment. Each cut was never bad though and she was very personable, but the cut was just inconsistent. However, I eventually returned to Bushwacker and tried a different barber. Now I’m locked in. I set up my appointments with Jan. And he is the Man.
While I’m only about to have my 4^th appointment with him, he knows how to work with this mess. I wanted to be a cool kid and get one of those comb-​over cuts and he delivered quite nicely. Then I didn’t want to be that cool anymore and I returned to my clean-​cut, faux hawk. That turned out nicely, too. If you have questions about what products to use in your hair, you should not hesitate to ask him.
The entire staff seems to be great though. I would recommend scheduling your appointments in advance. Based on observation alone, I don’t think you can go wrong with who ever you schedule with. What I appreciate the most is the conversation. While I don’t fancy myself as a chatterbox, it’s nice talking with people without social media.
What more can I say. .. after a haircut at Bushwacker, the girl (s) say I look spiffy.
