Kut To Be The Best

Terry can not cut at all. Don’t believe a review that says otherwise. I gave him a few shots and he screwed it up each time. Uneven hair and neck lines and inconsistent cut each time. I watched him butcher several people besides me and he actually said it the person’s head that was crooked. Yep! People would point out his numerous mistakes he would say quote your head is crooked or you have a funny hairline! Stay away. Terry up your skills or close your doors.

Terry is an artist with hair. The entire experience was very enjoyable from the clean shop to the witty banter. Go Pats!

There’s one dude that does cuts at this place. I guess depending on what type of cut you want it may be your place. I wanted an uppercut (short on the sides with long on top). First off, his customer service is okay. When you call on the phone he’s very hard to hear since he speaks really soft, which is not a big deal. Just know it’s not the typical customer service you will get from a chain store. He’s short on the chit chat which is not a bad thing. Next, he doesn’t pay his full attention to you when your getting your cut. While he was cutting mine it seemed like he was paying more attention to what was on tv or whoever was calling him than my hair cut. That would be okay if my cut came out good but it came out subpar. He took 15 min to cut my hair and half of that time was actually cutting instead of watching tv. So if you want a solid cut with attention to detail do not go here. If you want a simple quick cut here’s your place.

You pay 16 dollars (as a student discount) for a 8 dollar haircut. This place is really bad for the price you pay. My hair is uneven and he misses hairs. My sides are uneven and there are long strands in the side. He can count on me not coming back anymore. I asked for a combover and he didn’t even see how the top looked after he cut it. (Doesn’t look good). He kind of guesses what you want instead of asking you and the haircut seems so rushed. Worst $ 16 haircut I’ve ever gotten. No disrespect to terry because he is a nice guy, just didn’t like his haircut.

My husband came here looking for a cheap nice haircut. They have student price of $ 16.00 (not $ 10 like some people wrote on their reviews), and they did not granted my husband student price because he left his id home… So they charged him $ 21. They were very nice and the place looks very nice and clean. It a place where you feel very comfortable and cool! However, the work done was too fast and not into detail. We don’t know if the barber was in a hurry (it was 6pm and they close at 7pm) but the haircut is not symmetric and is basically not the best haircut for the price.

I went here on a Sunday because I was in dire need of a haircut before I went traveling for a wedding. I called and made an appointment, which I think is awesome that they do both walk ins and appointments. Past barbers I’ve been to didn’t have appointments and waiting could be hours. I got there a few minutes before my appointment and I believe the barbers kids came and checked me in on an iPad.
The cut I got was one of the best I’ve ever had. Terry was very friendly and very good at what he does. He cut my hair just the way I like it and even offered to line my beard, which I have never done myself. He did an awesome job and my wife loved it as well. Regular cuts are $ 21 and if your a student you get $ 5 off ($ 16). Terry even does straight razor shaves, which I think is very neat, especially since many barber shops nowadays don’t do them anymore.
I think this might be my new regular cut spot. Great, friendly service at a good price. I’ll say it again, having appointments is epic! Saves a lot of time. Will definitely be back.

Cheapest and best place to get a lineup in San Luis Obispo! Terry knows how to cut and can usually seat you quickly, and there’s a flatscreen on the wall to keep you entertained in the mean time. I recommend an appointment if you need to be in an out. Only $ 12 for a haircut if you’re a Cal Poly student — a nice drop from the prices I’m used to seeing in the Bay Area.

Stationed here in SLO for the next six months. I had to find a good barber for the time that I am here. I wasn’t able to find a good one. I found the BEST. I will be in every two weeks to see Rondol. He is a sharp guy and so is his razor. My high and tight has never looked so clean. Highly Recommend!

Terry did a great job in styling my beard. I have always had a goatee, but wanted to expand. Hi line is perfect and I was very satisfied with how he shaped it for me. Highly reccommend, especially if you are just growing a new beard and not sure how to trim/​shape it!

Don’t ask for anything besides fades because that’s all they can do, and even then the owner can’t do a clean fade, mine was completely uneven. Be sure to take a good look at your finished haircut, chances are you will find something and ask to correct it. Also, be specific on what you want, they make assumptions/​guesses and it may turn out that it’s not what you wanted.

Found @kut2bethebest while spending the weekend in San Luis Obispo, what a find! While Terry is one of those rare barbers to who takes (and encourages) appointments, I was able to walk right in and get a fantastic cut.
It’s often difficult for black men to find high quality barbers while traveling, particularly in non-​urban communities. What’s unique about this place is that they serve a multi cultural crowd. While I was getting my haircut, an entire rainbow of persons from all races and ethnic backgrounds flowed into the shop; a rarity I’ve never seen.

If you want a simple buz cut this wouldn’t be a bad place. But don’t ask for something too complicated, these barbers are high on some kind of drug when they’re working. Not joking. Don’t let them use scissors. They don’t know how to use them. Went in there and wasted $ 13 for the most uneven cut I’ve payed for. Ended up going home and cutting it shorter myself. Waste of money don’t go here

Great experience! We were able to Walk In & they had no problem cutting my 4 year old’s hair. They were very patient & did an awesome job!!!

Awesome place. Owner always checks up and asks me how I’ve been. Always does a perfect cut. If I’m going for something new I let him run with it and its always fresh. When I get checked in I’m promptly informed about how many are ahead of me. Waiting is expected if they’re busy but who’s ever in a rush for a hair cut? They’re located next to multiple food businesses so it’s refreshing to get a quick bite before or after. Again, can’t say it enough, this is the place for a haircut and my only barbershop.

This is the only place I’ll ever get my hair cut. These guys are masters at tapers, fades, old school men’s cuts, and it’s a real barbershop, so be prepared to talk about current events, politics, etc. These kinds of places are a cornerstone of American culture.

Kut to be the Best has donated a haircut and shave for the past two years to our SLO Builders Exchange scholarship fundraiser golf tournament. I doubt that they play golf but they are already giving back to the community even though they have only been open a short time. I think that’s really nice.

This place lives up to its name.

Fresh cuts for only 10 bucks if you’re a student. Terry the owner does a great job and is a funny guy.

They are some of the friendliest guys who cut hair.
However, they are still learning to cut hair and I didn’t see any barber’s licenses on the walls. The haircut felt like they were pulling teeth almost and after coming home, its uneven. The problem is the rush service of using only clippers and no scissors. The atmosphere is not the most professional. A lot of guys just talking smack playing video games. Everyone who works there is very young. Definitely only for the super young crowd.
On the bright side, if you are a student the haircut is only $ 10.

The First real Barbersharp in SLO!
The owner and main barber is Terry, he recently opened shop and knows exactly what he is doing. I sat in his chair and told him what I wanted, he suggested some better stuff and I went with his judgment, so far looks great.
They specialize in tapers, fades, and straight edge shaves. They do a phenomenal job with a razor. I think I found the place to get a great haircut in this town finally.
