Icut Barber Shop

One star. Pretty shocking. I use to go here all the time when I was in High School and it was decent. I went in today was something different. It’s says ten dollars for a regular hair cut explained to the barber thoroughly and clearly how I wanted it done. He was complaining why didn’t you tell from the beginning which I did. Saying that he might have to start over again. When I was done he charged me eleven dollars which I didn’t have when I only had ten. He said «next time its going to be eleven.» There won’t be a next time because in my experience today that’s just bad customer service. Your experience might be different. However, I highly recommend Mira Mesa Barbershop in the mall. I use to go there all the time as a child. They do it good there for only nine dollars. Two more recommendations is Prime time Barbershop and the new barbershop Cut & Dry A Gentlemen Blend. its more to a younger appeal. It’s pricey but worth it for the extremely good quality service. Fifteen at Primetime they have top of the line razors and styling products. $ 35 at Cut & Dry which features hair washes, hot towels, straight razor shaving and more. They use high end razors and styling products. Cut & Dry also has complimentary drinks ranging from Water and Coca Cola to Heineken and Jacks. Bring your ID’s. I’m an aspiring barber and I believe that barbering is an art which takes time and patience, it’s not all about making money and rushing it. I know a lot people say Vietnamese Barbers talk smack about there clients and some of them do. I also read another review on here and it stated that. Another philosophy, its also about making a bond with your clients making them feel good along with their haircut.

Hung is my barber. Very good cut flawless. Been going here for the past 3 years. Excellent service!

Finally, a Barber Shop in SD with WiFi, A/​C and more than one TV!
I have been going to Happy Barber in Clairemont for the past 5 years. To the same guy, seat #6, Jack N. Over the years, my hair styles have changed, my beard has grown, but the quality of cut and freshness have not faltered.
iCut is now lucky to have Jack as its seat #1 Barber. His line ups, tapers, beard trims, and suggestions have kept me looking good for the past 5 years. I didn’t even know I had a forehead before sitting in this guy’s chair!
The spot is cash only and Jack doesn’t work on Sunday.
The other Barbers are good too but Jack is worth the wait. He listens to what you want and actually does it! His equipment is only the best and never fails. Go to this guy, ask him for advice, talk to him about sports, and walk out looking fresher than you’ve ever looked. DO NOT FORGET TO TIP.

Andy is awesome! My hubby is a Marine thus his haircut needs to always look sharp. We’ve been to a couple shops in the area since moving here a couple months ago and no one seems to be able to get it right. My hubby is «mixed» aka black and Italian so his hair is kinda in between and difficult to cut the way he wants it. Andy took care of him and his hair looks great! I definitely recommend this barbershop and suggest you request ANDY. We had to wait for awhile and I was noticing everyone’s haircuts as we waited. The other barbers in there do a pretty good job but Andys was noticeably better

I’ve been coming here for the past 4 years of my enlisted career in the Marine Corps. I’ve always had the same barber (Ryan) and he always does a phenomenal job in cutting my hair. From a low to high fade to a comb over, he always delivers. Andy and Ryan had been working in this barber shop and what can I say, those two are my to go to barbers. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to cut my hair besides these two.

This place is the only barber that haven’t messed up with my hair. Always satisfied every time I come here. It gets pretty busy but I understand why. No one would like to have a bad haircut.
I’d recommend this place over any barber places. Always deliver the right cuts

I am really pleased with the kind of great service and haircuts they give at this place. Been going here for years and they haven’t let me down.

Been getting haircuts from here, and not once have they messed my hair up. Really recommend this place to those in need of a haircut. The barbers there like Andy, are really good with giving fades, line ups, etc.

I give this place an overall 5 stars for the quality haircut Andy provides during every trip to the barber. I’ve been getting my haircuts here since they’ve opened up, but it took me a while to decide who can consistently give me that perfect skin fade and comb over during each visit.
Tip: Don’t come on a Friday unless you’re willing to wait an hour or two. Especially if you want to get your hair done by Andy (he’s a popular request).
Huong and Peter are two other barbers who’ve done my hair. Peter definitely has his skin fades on point as I’ve observed that he always takes his time to ensure perfection. The last time he did my hair, it took him almost 40 minutes but my comb over was flawless. Huong seems like a seasoned barber. Like all barbers, you just have to be clear with what you want whether it’s a high or mid fade, a line up, or even how many inches of hair you want off. Shout out to Huong for lining my hair up for the first time– I really liked it, very clean. Now on to Andy. I trust him most with my hair because he can do a perfect skin fade in a timely matter and memorizes my hair cut so that i look the same every time I leave. He also takes feedback well and fixes your hair without any signs of annoyance if you are not satisfied with the finished product.
If you’re a dude who rocks comb overs, come here– you’ll probably look better!

I’ve been a loyal customer for 3 years andys been cutting my hair for 3 years and his cuts are great !!!

iCut has great barbers for very reasonable prices. usually $ 10 per haircut. They take thier time. Another plus is the sign-​in sheet, good way to implement first-​come first-​serve rule.
They have 5 TVs playing at least two different things at the same time. Whether music videos, prank/​comedy shows, or a NBA/​NFL game, they have something on TV to keep you entertained.

I wanted to get Vincent to cut my hair but he’s always busy. I was in a rush and the person that cut my hair instead was only average. Luckily, my hair isn’t too unmanageable. After I left and put product in my hair at home, I realized there are missed cuts. She also made my sideburns a little uneven.
Cheap price and quick if you aren’t picky.

Vincent cut my hair today and it looks damn good. It may be the best haircut I have ever recieved by anyone. He knows the comb over cut as if he does it all day every day.

This is one of my favorite barber shops I have been to. They always give clean tapers (high/​low/​skin/​etc.) and the fades blend right in. I am always satisfied after getting cut at this place. I’ve been to plenty other barber shops especially in Orange County and they don’t compare to the quality of this place for how cheap it is too ($ 9 plus tip). I will continue coming back to this place. No appointments necessary, just walk right in. This place can get pretty packed on the weekends but there is usually a short wait during the weekdays. Regardless, I am willing to wait the time to get cut at this place.

Very satisfied with the service.

Usually go here to get a haircut or beard trim. Whomever does it for me tends for be very careful and looks over every detail of the cut or trim to make sure everything is okay. As for the people saying they shit talk. Honestly. Doesn’t matter that much. Your going there to get a haircut, not make friends (though on several occasions I see their clients and them seem to have history together as friends talking about each other’s family). I mean yeah it’s messed up that they seem to talk shit and that’s why I won’t give a 5 but they do give a good cut for their price and know what they’re doing.
In the end. It’s an average haircut place though.

They do good hair cut and also the service is good too.

Seeing how I needed to get my head shaved again, and my regular barber shop’s seats were filled with no openings, I decided to try out the folks at iCut this past Friday.
iCut is a small shop — four seats with 3 Vietnamese barbers — but the store is clean, the prices are reasonable ($ 9 for getting my head shaved, not counting my $ 2 tip), and they were able to fit me in on a late Friday afternoon. Definitely worth coming back to again if in the area, even if parking can get a bit crowded in that mall (the barber shop is a few stores away from Seafood City and Rite Aid).
One more thing… iCut has three large flatscreen TVs for the customers to watch as they’re getting their haircuts done. On my visit, one was tuned to the local news — and the other two were showing Jackie Chan’s «Armour of God» (one of his older movies). Unfortunately, at the time I was there, it was during the dramatic portions of the movie — meaning no fight scenes for me.

So I typically shave my head at home with a razor, but every now and then I’ll get lazy and go a week or so without shaving (I blame the chilly mornings). So the length will get too long to hack at with a Gillette blade, so I’ll make a trip into barber shop and have them trim it down to a manageable length.
Read the Unilocal reviews for Icut and decided to give them a try during my lunch break — big mistake!
I ran to the ATM to grab a $ 20 figuring that they only took cash, walked in and was immediately greeted with some shit talking (in Vietnamese) by two of the barbers. Apparently I don’t look Vietnamese, which all three of the barbers were, and they must have used to work at a nail salon and made the switch to cutting hair.
Barber #1 — Shit talker
Barber #2 — Very quiet and nice
Barber #3 — Shit talker
Here’s how it went down as I walked in with cash in hand…
Barber #1: «Look at this guy, he’s just ready to give his money away!»
Barber #3: «Haha, do you think he understands?»
Barber #1: «No, I doubt it.»
Barber #3: «I think he does…» with a nervous look on her face
As I try my best to look clueless…
Barber #3: «No, he doesn’t understand! Haha»
It was an absolute WTF moment! First of all, you’re located in Mira Mesa so the odds of an Asian person walking in and being Vietnamese is very likely! Second of all, how dumb do you have to be to even chance that?
So as I sat there waiting, I was planning out my course of action…
What should I do if I get one of these jackasses as my barber? Do I flip out on them? Should I be completely silent and slap them with my $ 20 after they’re done with my cut? Walk out w/​o paying?
Luckily for them Barber #2 freed up first and took me. He was nice, did a great job, and didn’t say a word as the others stuck their foot in their mouths.
I paid, tipped, and left saying «Thank you» in Vietnamese as their jaws dropped.
Never coming back to this unprofessional establishment. Du ma!

For several years now I’ve been going full retard by paying $ 30 bucks for a haircut at a high end salon. When they raised their price to $ 35 bucks, I finally realized — WTF and quickly awoke from the matrix.
Going to a new spot for a haircut is a mildly frightening experience. We all fear the bad haircut, but y’know what? Shit grows back — so at most you’ll be ugly for 2 weeks, then you can try again and be semi-​ugly the remaining 50 weeks of the year.
Walking into iCut after going to a posh salon is shocking at first. No fancy gels for sale, no smell of dyes or chemicals — just the good ol’ manliness. The mirrors are a bit warped so you can’t really tell if you’re getting a good haircut, and the seats are turned such that you face the patrons waiting for their turn in line, thus playing the «let’s not accidentally make eye contact» game.
I’ve tried every barber there and so far all have been awesome. I usually just close my eyes and hope for the best, and to date — I have not been disappointed. Don’t forget to tip well!
