Barbers Three Plus

Just made another appointment at Barbers 3 in Corte Madera. They’ve been my go to shop for a haircut since 1997 when I went there for a haircut for my wedding day. It was a great cut then and it’s been that good ever since.
The atmosphere at Barbers 3 reminds me of the barbershop my dad took me to as a kid, the staff are super friendly, it’s usually easy to get a same or next appointment and the prices are fair.
Most importantly, I’ve been consistently pleased with the haircuts I’ve gotten there, especially from Dave Buckley, an experienced barber who still uses mostly scissors to cut my hair the «just electric clipper cuts» I was stuck with the few times I strayed when in a hurry.
The combination of a good quality haircut at a fair price in a friendly atmosphere reminiscent of the barbershops of my youth is a «no brainer» for this guy. I know a good deal when I’ve got one. I’ll keep coming back.

The owner John is a VERY nice guy BUT his hair and beard cutting skills are haphazard. Both myself and a friend have gotten haircuts from him on separate occasions and they were lopsided and not consistent or symmetrical.
It’s as if John forgets that he cut the left side of my head a certain length and doesn’t do the same for the other side. The same thing applies to my friends haircut, particularly his beard. He got messed up worse than I did. We both had to fix our haircuts the best we could after the fact. This was despite me asking John to take it shorter on the other side but he didn’t deliver. After asking once, I won’t ask again especially when there’s an unsuspecting someone in line that’s about to get their hair messed up.
John is so nice but his attention to detail is really lacking. I don’t know enough about the other barbers to comment on them. This review is for John. And for the record, I still tipped John $ 5.00. I always have even when I received a bad haircut. I just make sure that I never go to the person again.

Gai is great. I’ve only been once but will be coming back again. I was lost with my hair since cutting it myself but Gui managed to strategically and patiently fix it up and had me leaving loving my layered haircut! Ladies, don’t be fooled by the word ‘barber’, Gai can cut both woman and men.

I have had my hair cut at Barbers Three for many years. Dave is the best barber I have ever had. John is very good too. I like that they take appointments and wash your hair before cutting it. The prices are fair, and the shop is clean and comfortable. Scooter the mascot dog may greet you at the door.

Gai (pronounced «guy»), the owner/​barber, is great as are the other barbers in her shop. They are all very good at their craft at a fair price and very nice. They are popular, so best to call ahead for an appointment.

I’ve been going to Dave at Barbers 3+ for 15 years. He’s great at what he does, and I always leave feeling like I got a very good haircut at a very fair price. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, and the parking is easy and the location very convenient, just a minute off 101. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Gai has been cutting my hair for years and she is terrific. Personable, professional, and she really knows what she is doing. While fast, she takes the time to «get things right» regarding a haircut.

Gai is a great barber. I called in on Saturday afternoon and scheduled an appointment 20 minutes later. The space is a classic barber shop with the exceptions of washing hair before cutting and not using a straight razor on the back of the neck.
This was the best haircut i have gotten in a long time. And it took less then 25 minutes. I highly recommend.

Did not have appointment (Did not know I needed one since the outside it doesnt say so) Gruff guy asks me if I have one. I say no, but they make room for me.
Ping– One star
They shampoo my hair as part of their haircut– Ping– Two star
The hair cut itself does not take very long– Ping Three star
There is a cute dog on premises– Ping Four star
They cut my hair to darn short so that it sticks up on top and I have to invest in some gel to keep that darn thing down for the next week. MINUS A STAR
Spouse said if I become a regular they will know how I like my hair and that should not happen again. My spouse also pointed out it is a good value to have a shampoo and haircut for the price and says I should give them another chance.
I possibly will because everyone has a off day .
Edit to update:3/5
I gave it a chance but This haircut was bad. I’m sorry. Not only did it start off bad it grew out bad.

MaryAnn is the greatest! I’m very picky about my hair and she is simply the best I’ve found in all my world travels. Also, the price is right.

Mariann is a terrific barber. She adapts her approach to fit with individual preferences – including making the best of the remaining hair of bald guys! She is also cheerful and personable in a low-​key, makes the whole experience enjoyable.

Mariann is the most talented «barber» in the Corte Madera area. She’s really more than a barber. Like an artist, she knows what cut is right for you to look great — whether you are an older guy trying to look younger, a kid trying to look like a teen idol, or a woman looking for the most attractive hair style.

My Boyfriend and I have both gotten our hair done by «MARIANN» for years and love her work. She is very personable and provides the Best customer service! I recommend her to all my friends!!!

Gai is the best around. She does everything right. She does men, women, and kids. Everything from color to beard trims. Best I have ever seen. Make an appointment, she is popular and has a huge following. I won’t go anywhere else.

I finally went back to Barber’s Three this week. My wife kept complaining about my beard.
It was almost time to go back anyway, so I did.
This time Gai cut it medium, like a cross between Papa Hemingway and a goat. My wife likes it better — she said I had been looking like Osama Bin Laden.
What I want to know is, why has she been seeing Osama?
