Happy Barber

For $ 10 this was probably one of the cleanest her cuts I ever had, Tracy was my barber and she was great.

Been going to happy barber for years in Serra Mesa which is super busy now just about all the time. Owner just opened this location. It will take them time to build their staff and following so that is why you only have 1 – 2 barbers working at a time.
Anyways, my son was in need of his first haircut. He was 9 months at the time. The owner did a great job. We sat my son on my lap and he did a quick haircut in 5 minutes or so. At his age we juat needed a quick buzz and some clean up around the edges. It was perfect. Been back twice now with him and he seems to enjoy getting his hair cut.

I’ve been going to Happy Barber #1 since 2004 and usually Karen is the person who cuts my hair. Karen is now running the new Happy Barber #3 on Balboa Ave and continues to do a great job. The great thing about #3 is that I never have a long wait.
Tip: The shop is hard to find because it is a narrow storefront located next to a fabric store.

It was a small wait which was fine.
My first time here so i was hesitant and tried to get a across what i wanted. I wanted a simple trim clean up clean cut, even look. I was very adamant about my sideburns not being cut too short.
Overall the hair was ok. And i ended up woth razor burn on my neck which hurts. my sideburns were way too short and uneven. :(im hesitant to go back.
But might Give it another try.

No wait… son is happy with cut… thank god. He is extremely picky but they did a great job for a very reasonable price. Happy to find barber by my house since diamond cuts on miramar road closed down.

Affordable price, really nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Also there is an example board on the wall to quickly choose the haircut you want and get it going with. Will be coming back for my man!

In North Park I was paying $ 25 for a simple hair cut. Here it is $ 11, there is almost never a wait, and they never screw it up.

Wasnt expecting one of my best haircuts!
So I visited the other Happy barber a couple weeks ago and decided to visit this one due to it being much closer to home. I walked in around 1430 on a Thursday and was seated right away. When I walked in I was approached by two Asian women and tbh was quite afraid because I haven’t had my hair cut by a woman in YEARS! They were very polite and made me feel very welcome. While my hair was being cut I overheard other customers talking to the other barber and it seemed from what they were saying that this was a new location. The other shop they had was packed and Im glad that this one is now open so I wont have to wait as long. I got a low skin fade and this was one of THE BEST I have had in a long time, I was shocked to be honest. For $ 11 this was such a great deal. I will be a regular here!

I’ve been a loyal customer of Happy Barber on Clairemont Mesa for 4 years because of their attentive staff and 10 – 15 min wait times. So, I thought I’d try out the new location. They only have 2 employees working on a Monday!!! Also the one women took literally 40 minutes for one basic men’s haircut (which is how long I’ve been waiting, with only 2 customers in front of me!). Happy Barber please staff your new location properly!

Great location. Not too congested in this little strip. The owner, Hung, is as down to earth and professional as they come. He doesn’t let you leave the chair until you are satisfied. At least he does that with me. His ethic is simple, with quality will come the quantity. He believes if you take the time with each customer’s haircut, you will have a Happy Barber and customer experience.
The best part of it all, a haircut (men’s) is reasonable and cheaper if you compare the quality of haircuts Hung provides.
Thank you Hung for my past, present, and future haircuts.

Great new location. Absolutely beautiful inside and in a great area. Come check it out.
Service is exceptional as with all the other locations.

I’ve been coming to Happy Barber for a little over 5 years. The owner, Hung, gets my haircut right every single time. Happy Barber has 3 locations now and will soon add a fourth. This location is brand new just opened on 2÷7÷15 and its beautiful on the inside. Everything is new and well lit. The customer service at any Happy Barber is superb. They listen to what you want and actually give you what you want for your haircut. The workers are very friendly and will always strike up a conversation if you are in the mood to chat. The prices are very good for the high quality of work that they do.
They get the very hard haircuts right, I usually get a high skin fade and he does it to perfection each and every time. No matter which Happy Barber you go to you will always be taken care of, the workers are very friendly and will do what you ask.
If you are ever in the area of any of the Happy Barber’s and need a haircut, stop on in and give them a try. They might just be your new go to place for your haircut.
