DTown Barbers

Old school barbershop with some creative barbers. I go for the straight cut but, have seen many clients get specialty design cuts, shaves and other haircuts. Sign up when you walk-​in and if there’s any wait it’s usually only about 15 minutes. I’m a fan of Sergio but, the whole crew is legit. Great deal.

It was my youngest sons birthday & I was in a tight spot wit money. We saw this place while walkn dwntwn & I swallowed some pride & walked in & met Sergio. He hooked my son up on 4÷16÷16 & my son liked his new cut. My older son wanted a haircut too so we went back the following monday. While we waited for Sergio to return from lunch Jordan did my hair. We all wud definitely go back again! Thanks guys… ur help & kindness meant a lot!

They sure talk a lot of game over here, but to be honest I have had my haircut by a number of the employees, and there are a few guys who can do a decent job but their customer service/​way of conducting business is absolutely horrible! I do not recommend anyone to waste their time down here

I was visiting San Diego from out of town and needed a haircut. I stumbled across this place just walking down the street. I walked in with no appointment and ended up with this young barber named Miguel. It was my lucky day because this may have been the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. This kid is seriously talented. He wasn’t quick at all… I might have spent 45 minutes in his chair. But he was technically precise and knew what he was doing. It’s been 2 weeks and I still am getting compliments on my cut. Props to
Miguel because you are a rock star. Hoping I can swing by next time I’m in San Diego.

Like all the barbers I have gone to in San Diego, Eddie was another let down. Usually the first 3 to 4 haircuts are perfect and then suddenly the quality diminishes exponentially. With Eddie the quality ceased during my second visit and he charges $ 45 a cut. Mind you I get a simple all even cut with a razor line up (no designs). This is something taught to beginners. My first haircut with Eddie was fine and I even tipped an additional $ 10.
When I came for my second visit I asked him not to cut my hair at all, «just shave down my beard and line me up.» Eddie proceeds to line me up with the clippers only and takes off my cape and says $ 45??? For $ 45 a razor needs to touch my face PERIOD. He then starts only using the razor on certain areas of my face (with no shaving cream). He never used the razor on my hairline. At this point I’m annoyed so I ask him for a hard part, which also received no razor treatment.
For the price and the hassle of finding parking, I find this level of service extremely disappointing. How do we go from a proper haircut with a razor lineup, shaving cream, styling gel, and hairspray to clippers and a goodbye? It’s such a sharp contrast to the haircuts he exhibits and promotes on his Instagram page. Maybe his other clients accept half a haircut for double the price but not me.

I’ve had too many people ask where I get my hair cut to not share it on here. Raoul is my barber and a wizard with the clippers. He brought my vision to fruition and now I have the only triple mowhawk in town.

Friendly, professional, clean shop. Miguel did a great job on my haircut! Will definitely come back when I’m in San Diego again.

Yo fuck the hype around all these other barbershops in sd word up this barber shop is now my home of cutz $ 30 for a cut at other places fuck that $ 20 and they take the time to make u look fresh i recommend this to everyone who gets they cutz in downtown san diego #freshasfuck

Maybe they are great at cutting hair, maybe they aren’t. I’ll never know because I didn’t even get to have my haircut. I made an appointment through Style Seat with Eddie on a Saturday at 12:30 PM. I got 2 emails and a text confirming me for that time.
I showed up at 12:20 PM looking for him, but was told that he had gone on break. I thought «No biggie. He’ll probably show up at 12:30 and then we’ll start.» There were only two other customers in there at the time, one was already getting his haircut and the other was also waiting. Eddie pops in at around 12:30 with what looks like his lunch, but takes the other guy instead of me. Um, wasn’t this the time for my haircut? If that other dude made an appointment for 12:00 PM, then it is fair that he gets his hair done first, but who let’s customers book appointments for 12:00 and 12:30 AND THEN TAKES A LUNCH BREAK DURING THOSE TIMES? Seriously, don’t accept clients at 12:00 — 12:30 if that’s when you take your lunch break.
I waited another 45 minutes before I got up and left. I Ignored the other reviews here about them being unprofessional, in hopes of being pleasantly surprised. I should have listened. I wasted more than an hour of my Saturday driving down there and waiting. Also wasted a few dollars for parking.

Booked an appointment through styleseat app. The barber will get notifications from styleseat about all appointments. The barber confirmed the appointment and I got the confirmation e-​mail. On the appointment day, I paid for parking downtown and showed up to their shop to find out that they are closed. I called the barber and asked why he didn’t let me know about the shop being closed. He apologized and wished me a good day. If they were gonna be closed that day, they shouldn’t have let me book the appointment for that day.

So I was due for another cut, and it reminded me to write a review for this biz. HOWEVER, this is less a review of the biz, and more a review of the individual: Sergio. I plan to go back and give another barber a shot.
Honestly, this isn’t even about the cut. It’s been good. This is about honesty and being straight with your clientele. After the cut and beard trim, which was always $ 25, I asked just to confirm. Sure enough, Sergio says $ 30. Now, i would understand if it was a more special or labor-​intensive cut than I had gotten before, but this was not the case. I actually even told him to relax on a lot of super time-​consuming things like razoring all around, etc. We were done in MUCH less time than typical.‘
If he was trying to work a $ 5 tip into the price… well, no. It doesn’t work that way. A tip is just that: optional. It’s up to the client, and is earned. Besides, I tip anyway, so then that gets confusing to me… I start thinking, «Did this person add their own tip and THAT’S how they came up with this total… or do I tip on TOP of that amount?»
«$ 30?»
“Yup.“
I gave him $ 35… because, though I knew it was BS, I didn’t mind giving him an extra $ 5 considering it was going to be the last he would ever see from me. Hope it was worth losing a client over, dude.
I’ll update once I try another barber from there.

The online portal gave me the option to make an appt at 730 pm which works great because I work. But then at 720 pm the day of my appt. I got a call questioning why I would book a 730 appt because they close at 8. I don’t think I need to say much more for you to get how the customer service is here. At the end of the call I was made to look dumb for not considering there close time dispite what my appt was booked for. And he refused to see me 730 pm. I was outside the shop and he wouldn’t take me. Worst customer service. Way to many shops around to settle for this.

Never made it into the shop because the receptionist/​barber on the phone refused to answer a few questions. He referred me to the website 3 or 4 times during the 30 second phone call and made it very obvious that he didn’t want to talk to me. His exact words at one point were «buddy, if you have questions your gonna have to go to our website». Lol. Ok «buddy». Kick rocks. Im assuming this review won’t effect them because they are obviously wayyy too busy for new customers.
Hurts my soul to leave a bad review for a place that I never even had a chance to visit, but customer service is key especially in a business as competitive as cutting hair. There’s 75 versions of you within a 3 block radius. Why would it ever make sense to be condescending to a potentially new customer. My apologies to the owner as I’m sure you wouldn’t have answered the phone like whoever was there today.

I am visiting from South Carolina. I missed my flight and had no idea how I was going to get my hair cut, being that I have been had the same barber for 15 years. I showed Eddie a pic of how my hair normally looks and he did an excellent job.
He is very passionate about his customers and the way they look once they leave his chair.
Thanks Eddie.

I did a walk-​in. Eddie, was the barber who called me to his chair.
Let me tell you, after countless haircuts out of NJ and NYC (I’m from the east coast) I have never had a barber this good in my entire life. As a new client Eddie spent a few minutes studying my hair to see the directions in which it grew. After that he made a few suggestions in addition to what I asked to help me achieve a very classic yet original and natural look. I can’t believe I found the best barber of my life here in San Diego, California. I highly recommend anyone who is indecisive about how to have their hair cut to ask for Eddie directly. Eddie will be the only barber who cuts my hair while I reside in San Diego.
The shop is a very laid back atmosphere, good music, very relaxing vibes. Again I just happen to wonder in this shop for a trim and I walked out learning a few things about how to style my hair.
You can tell the guys who run this place are close friends and are passionate about the quality of their work.
Beware of the shops with a ‘commercial’ look, in my experience they are not really that focused on quality.
10 stars for Eddie, thank you again, I will see you soon.

Among the best shops I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting my hair cut at. I walked in on a whim after seeing their Instagram and reading good reviews. No appointment necessary as they took me as a walk in. However, keep in mind I don’t go during peak hours. I generally go Monday’s or Tuesday’s around lunch. I’ll likely start to call in for appointments if I’m short on time or just to give them a heads up.
I’ve gotten my hair cut by Paul, Glen, and Sergio; all three of whom I’d trust to cut it again. All three very professional, clean, and diligent in their work. Another reviewer commented on the time it took to get a hair cut, and it’s true that they take a bit longer than your typical $ 8 fade, but that’s because it’s not an $ 8 fade. These guys will take care of you and have you looking as fresh as ever with whatever style you choose. Handle your business before you come, sit back, and have them work on you — you won’t regret it.
And if 5 star reviews weren’t enough, the trophies on their walls speak for themselves. Not to mention their diverse customer base. Anything from women wanting to get a side cut to professionals from the neighboring buildings. Great place, great people, greater haircuts.

Made it in before they closed and received a top quality haircut from one of their original barbers.
The type of detail and precision my stylist used with my hair was phenomenal. The stylist asked me specific questions about how I wanted my hair to look. The types of questions were some I have never been asked from a stylist before. More than just how I wanted my neck– squared or rounded — he went on to question how I wanted my sideburns cut & how I wanted my fade to look. I was more than impressed and glad I decided to give these guys another shot.

My boyfriend has been coming here since opening day. The Barbers offer a comfortable relaxed setting that suites all hair types. They work quickly and efficiently. They are busy because of it’s popularity. If your looking for a style upgrade this is the place to come. My boyfriend drives 30 miles just to come here. He recommends coming to see Sergio but all the barbers have talent. Also kid friendly!

Let me start off my review by saying that it was a negative review that brought me here. My buddy Pol told me that Paul could take care of me after I complained about my barber cutting my beard too short. So naturally I checked it out on Unilocal.The guy complained about the barber being too through, about taking too much time and caring about every little hair on the back of his head. He complained that nobody even looked there. This made me take notice. Obviously here was a guy who wouldn’t rush. Here’s a guy who cares about every detail. Here’s a guy who will take his time, won’t over charge and actually cares about each cut– you’re not just a number. I loved the pictures I saw, I loved the «negative» review and I loved my buddy’s personal recommendation. So I went to check it out myself.
They were all right. I set up an appointment online. It was confirmed by email. Easy. I parked nearby. Easy. I walked in and was immediately sat. Easy. Then I actually got to know the guy. We chatted for an hour and ten minutes while he meticulously groomed my beard and cut my hair (I showed him pictures of Leonidas from 300– I wanted that beard). He told me about his previous experience managing a shop, going to barber competitions and how he saved to open his own shop, sleeping on couches until he could afford his own place. Paul takes pride in his work and tremendous pride in his shop, being a self-​sufficient man and a business owner.
He was the first barber to tell me exactly where to look, so he coukd get the proper fade, how to scrunch my face or poke my tongue in my cheek so he could properly shave, shape and cut my beard. He used product and a blow dryer for my hair, and faded the cut just right. He even trimmed and shaped my eye brows (a first ever). He was personable, professional, affordable, and a nice guy. I recommend this place 100% if you want a cut from a guy who cares about what he does, takes the time to do it right and won’t charge you an arm and a leg.

Terrible barbering skills
unsanitary, unprofessional, and unaware of how real barbering is supppsed to be like. I’ll give them one star for not charging me for the worst experience ever.
