The Shop Barbershop

After my initial review the business owner contacted me and offered me a free haircut to make it up for the bad experience. Good to see that he cares about his clients and responds to negative feedback in a professional way.

I’ve been coming to The Shop since June 2015 and I won’t be looking for a new barber anytime soon. Ralph always hooks me up. My hair is thick and difficult to deal with, but I always leave The Shop with the exact cut I want.
The Shop is clean, the barbers are friendly, and the music is always on point. Great environment, even better cuts. Best place in SF to get your hair cut, hands down.

Review is specifically for «Ralph the Barber»
Per his business card, Ralph is a barber. Ralph also has the first chair in the shop, and greets everyone when they walk in. I didn’t have an appointment, and he was able to squeeze me in between appointments.
Super approachable and gave me one of the best fades I’ve had in years. Definitely found my new barber after lots o searching.

I got my haircut by Adan but I heard the other barbers call him AD… Excellent cut and very professional… The overall feel for the whole shop was very friendly… I will definitely be back

Ralph The Barber, you jacked my line up today bro. The fade is clean but the line is horrendous. I came in with a pretty clean head not too much hair, about 2 weeks out of a cut and my line is pushed back like a Facebook meme no lie. I still paid but honestly thought he would put it on the house or at least discount it because it was not legit. I would hope just going forward that you would not go so hard on the line after being asked to go soft. Everyone doesn’t want a hard line and if it looks stupid and your lining someone up on the top of their head somethings probably wrong. Can’t believe I spent money on this.

Got a haircut and beard trim from Mike. Fades are great. Very professional.
Called in the morning and scheduled an appointment for the same day late afternoon.
Seems like appointments are necessary!

I did a walk in around 5 on a weekday and they still took me which was great. I moved to the mission a few months ago and have been avoiding getting a haircut since i’d have to find a place. This place was awesome! Really friendly and cool and my barber knew what he was doing. I showed him a picture and told him to do whatever he thought looked good and it turned out great: D

Great place for a haircut — price is right and quality-​pro cut. Fades are exceptional and clean. I usually go to Erik, but all are great at what they do. I recommend calling ahead to book a time to guarantee a spot although walk-​ins are welcome. Go here!

Saw all the positive reviews and reasonable prices, thought we’d check it out after just moving from Philly. Mike did not disappoint, neither did the customers and conversation from other barbers. Great find! We will not be looking elsewhere and neither should you.

Hands down Mike is the best barber in the city. He keep’s my son fresh every two weeks even came in on a monday just to cut him for his birthday. He’s the real MVP.

Old School straight to the point, great conversations complimenting talented barbers. Appreciate the straight blade line up.

I called at 3:00 and got an appointment for 5. I got my fade with a few lines shaved in up top from Samantha. Really clean, and $ 20! And the people working there seem like they’re having fun. Tip well!
PS: don’t give your money to some bougey salon on valencia. this place is awesome.

If your looking for a Quality cut go to this guy name Ralp very respectful and professional!

Huge fan of The Shop! I’m too poor a planner to ever schedule ahead, but all the guys here have done a great job with my fade, taking their time and patiently getting it to my liking. It’s a chill spot and I love coming here to get a haircut, and for their time and effort the price is extremely good as well.

This is a great place to get look your best. They sent my son home lookin proper for his first day of school. Chill environment, #mission feel.

Fantastic. Walked in on Saturday morning and was lucky that someone else cancelled, had a great cut.
Make an appointment on the weekend though, they’re usually booked up.
Price was 25 + tip, more than reasonable.

This is the Spot! Excellent service!
My son gets cut by Erik R, he always sets him up with a clean fresh fade & lineup…
Erik is a very talented, professional, experienced barber and takes pride in his work, he will always make sure you are happy with your cut. It would be best to book an appt with him because he’s always busy especially Thurs-​Sat…
As for The Shop itself, everybody in there are cool people, very friendly environment and from what I see they are all pretty talented barbers.
The only negative would be parking, its kind of a hit or miss but if you dont mind walking you can always find parking within a block.

I get my haircut every 2 weeks by Erik R. He is a very skilled barber and never lets me down. I get a comb over with a razor part and the sides faded to a half. He did the it to the skin for me once and I was so impressed with his technique but unfortunately my skin did not agree with such a close cut. Erik always finds time to fit me in a day or two within the time I contact him. He also shapes up my beard which is very dear to me and he very slowly trims it to make sure he does not take off to much and upset me. I trust him.
The shop has an urban vibe to it. The guys are always joking around and having fun, it is a friendly place. As clean as I would expect a place that cuts hair all day but honestly if some hair on the ground matters to you more than the skill of your barber you better check yourself.
Parking can normally be found within a block or two and the time. The time limit is 1 hour during the day so dont get there too early unless you want to move your car mid cut. The guys at the shops told me that the meter maids are not playing around the area so better safe than sorry.

I have never gone to a new barber shop before but this was the closest shop to where I work and I needed a haircut ASAP. Although this place had solid reviews– I was still extremely nervous (as would anyone when trying out a new barber)
When I walked in, every barber was busy cutting hair but this one dude. From the beginning i knew something was off, the entire time I felt like i was his first customer ever. It was as if he was nervous/​uncomfortable cutting my hair and I just felt awkward. At first I thought to myself «maybe im over analyzing the situation.» but then i looked in the mirror. He took off so much around my ear and back– i honestly feel ridiculous walking around. I really don’t know how you can manage to mess up my hair, its the most simple cut you can possibly ask for. Waste of $ 20.

This shop is honestly one of the last few honest barbershops in the city of San Francisco. Full of laughter, shit talking and all that when you walk in the door. Yeah at times it can get a little vulgar so if you’re into that straight cut «quietly get your haircut» kind of person this is not the place for you. These barbers want to get to know you so you have as good of an experience as you can. Children are welcome which is also a plus. Overall fun loving barbershop, got your food needs & all that up and down the street. If you haven’t given this place a try, then I suggest you do.
Tyler, if you can catch an appointment with him is my favorite. He takes time and really looks over what he does and definitely puts in the effort to make sure you leave satisfied. You can watch him in the mirror, constantly re checking everything, a thorough barber! Looking forward to seeing him again & visiting the shop very soon.
