J’s Great Cuts

I needed a marine haircut and saw all of the 5 star reviews and decided to give it a shot.
I walked in at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon and was able to get a seat the second I walked in. Didn’t get the guy’s name but I sat in the third far seat from the entrance. My barber was sure to ask me exactly what I wanted and gave me a very clean professional haircut. Nice fade, even cut on top, straight razor faded the edges, and even took the liberty of trimming my eyebrows. He was educated on how to cut hair and had many products on shelf to use.
2 $ discount for military. They accept cards (1 $fee) and if you want to give a tip just let them know to put it on the total before you swipe.

Best haircut I’ve ever had. I went Mooses and they screwed it up bad! Went to J’s and it’s perfect. Wally your my new barber. Thank you!!!

Just took my 21 month old in for his first real haircut. I thought he’d do well but he freaked out the whole time. I wish I got our barber’s name because he was awesome with him. I am surprised that he was able to give a good haircut with my so freaking out. He was so patient with him and knew how far to push him and when to back off. Despite my son’s protesting he walked away with a good haircut and a lollipop.

This is the best barber shop in Town! Great service and great results every time, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I do recommend seeing Robert not only does he cut hair the best but maybe he can give you a tip on working out

Been going to Js since the doors opened. And will continue to do so. Awesome people and great barbers!

Took my 4 year old in for his first real cut in a long time! Robert took him and was great! He took his time with him and really made sure that it was «perfect»! He got a scissored short cut with clean sides, I will take him back!

I have been coming to Js Great Cuts for years, never had a bad haircut. Everyone is great and know their trade. I bring my boys in also, great with kids.

Best Barber Shop in San Diego, the thing that separates J’s from the rest is the fact that I’ve gotten haircuts usually tapers from every barber here and every single one seems like they take pride in what they do they’ve all done a good job. So instead of walking in somewhere else and waiting for your preferred barber to finish his cuts you can go in to J’s and get your cut with anyone they all seem to be perfectionist!

Stopped by this place this morning to get a haircut. Robert was the only barber there and said he could do a horseshoe cut. That was an understatement, he cut an excellent horseshoe and those of us who get them know how difficult it is to find someone who can do them correctly. This is the best haircut I have received since Tony in Lemon Grove passed.
The place was clean and the atmosphere was great. The prices are spot on and I will definitely be back again.

Five star place! I came to get my haircut by Robert and absolutely loved the place! One day it was busy and I decided to go with another barber and he was just great too! Eventually I made my rounds and got my haircut by every barber there and they all do an amazing job! Go visit this place!

Been bringing my boys here for a year or so. Always happy with what they do. Great prices. Super friendly. After trying out just about every shop in Santee, along with a few in El Cajon, over the years this place is hands down the best!

Another great haircut by Mr. Walid! Been going here for a few years and have never received a subpar haircut. Changed my hair style a few times over the years and they always nail the style down. Friendly, knowledgable staff in a great East County location. Five stars is an understatement!!!

I’ve been coming here since 2007 and I haven’t gone anywhere else. J’s Great Cuts is the only barber you’ll ever need. Everyone there is a master at their craft. Wally gave me my first hair cut and he did a fantastic job. I watched Robert come up in the shop from the bottom to the top. He is now my preferred barber. He is very creative, takes his time to get it right and is always willing to take on a new style if you want. I can get my hair cut, beard trimmed, straight razor line up, and even a nose waxing for $ 35. If you want full service, fair pricing, and an overall great cut go to J’s.

I’ve been going to J’s for several years now. Always excellent service and fantastic hair cuts. Robert is my main barber and he does an awesome job. He knows what I want before I even sit in the chair and gives me a perfect cut each time. The prices are very reasonable and they offer a lot of different services besides hair cuts. You can’t go wrong with any of the Barber’s but Robert is worth the wait!

Another fantastic visit to J’s. Was helped by Robert «scissor hands». This time rather then a full haircut and hot shave I only had funds for a quick cut.
Regardless Robert made sure I was happy with every aspect of my hair cut and even put in the extra effort to help clean up the lines of my beard.
As always I walked out looking fresh and clean for just 15 dollars. Straight edge razor lines are the only way to go when getting a hair cut and I have to say that I’m completely spoiled now.
Ask for Robert and let him know Cliff sent you!

I came in as a new customer recently and dealt with Sonny.
Sonny is a very friendly guy who seems genuinely kind. He was great to talk too except all the personal questions. I was asked many questions about my line of work (real estate), what I owned, how big they were, where they were, exactly what I did to earn my living, etc. I tried to stay friendly on the topic but It was a bit much for idle conversation with a complete stranger.
Sonny is a talented barber and did a nice job on my basic snip n clip. He took off less than I asked for as a precaution, which is thoughtful. His ability to cut hair well saved him a bit from ignoring what I wanted. Sonny never asked me how i wanted my sideburns or if i wanted any at all. He never asked about how i wanted my neck line finished. So in the end, I didnt get what I wanted because he just started doing it how HE wanted it I guess.
Overall Sonny was a great guy who was devoted to doing a good job. He just didnt have my personal interests in mind as much as he should — we have to walk around looking like you cut us Sonny and we have preferences. Like rounded corners or leaving my sideburns. Id recommend being a bit more interested in what Im paying for and less in my personal business, but I dont mean that with an attitude. Sonny was a nice guy and I’ll likely go back. But he asked for an honest review so thats what I want to give him.
Be well

First time here today and Wally really showed me why they are rated so high! 5 stars all the way! Will definitely be coming back for my haircuts here!

Praise For Wally the Barber:
I’m typically not very free with passing out compliments; unless, that is; someone really impresses me or deserves it. That is just what happened today when I took a chance and had Wally (AKA Waleed) cut my hair… owner/​operator of J’s Great Cuts. When he finished, I thanked him and handed him $ 20, which covered the $ 15 haircut and a $ 5 tip, for which he graciously thanked me. I then complimented him and left, totally pleased and satisfied that I had found «my barber.»
So, why do I say, «I took a chance»? Simply because I don’t find too many barbers that can do a proper job, i.e., cut my hair to my satisfaction. I have a fairly thick head of hair, which is quite fine in texture and totally straight without any curl.
What happens is, most garden-​variety barbers shift into automatic pilot and cut as they normally would, despite the fact that I usually inform them how I need it to be done, and what happens if it’s not that way… no big deal, really. However, if they make any mistakes cutting the sides, every glitch becomes a stepped notch. Then, there’s the overhanging «mushroom top» or «bowl-​cut» effect if they flare the razor out at the top of each pass, as many tend to do. The thing is, if I had any curl in my hair at all, these things would simply blend in, not be magnified.
If a barber cuts my hair too short at my «cow-​lick» swirl at the back of the part, it tends to stand up like corn stalks until it grows out. If the barber doesn’t taper it properly in the back, then, when I tilt my head to look up, my hair mashes against my collar and sticks out straight. If the sides aren’t properly tapered, in a few days my hair will be poking out over my ears and the temples of my glasses.
Then, the typical barber will wet my hair down and comb it tight against my head (possibly to mask any mistakes they made). They’ll then hand me a mirror and ask how it looks; expecting a compliment. However, I tell them I can’t tell how it looks all plastered down like that.
Wally did none of these things even without me having to remind him. My hair looks positively great and falls right into place when I comb it. Right from the start it became apparent that Wally is a master at his trade. Much Kudos to you Wally; and, to quote Arnold, I say: «I’ll be back!»

Have been coming here for 8 years, cannot find anywhere better! These guys are magic. Kevin, Robert, Edwar and Wally. Must go to haircut spot

First time here and have to say, I’m glad I came! Edward cut my hair and did a remarkable job! Pretty good price too! $ 15! He was super fast and professional, and gave me a fade to remember! Thanks again! I will be back!
