Apollo’s Barber Shop

Always great for my 3 boys!

I am from out of the area visiting family. I needed a haircut and took a chance with Apollo’s Barber Shop. Andrew was my barber and he was awesome! I have had many haircuts in my life, but this is the first time that I have experienced the best cut I have ever had. This place is perfection and I look forward to returning. Sadly I do not think I will be able to have the same experience where I live. Thank you Andrew, you are a true master!

Alfredo did a good job. I’ve always been so scared every time I have to get a haircut ever since I moved to this country. Alfredo completely got what I was after and exceeded my expectations. Would automatically be my go-​to place ¹⁰⁄₁₀ if I lived in the area.

I recently discovered Apollo’s Barber Shop thanks to my wife! Fredo is an asset to this organization, he’s great with kids and is the only person my son will sit still and quite for while receiving his haircut. He’s a little chatter box and Fredo has always been patient and shows interest in what my son talks to him about. He considers Fredo his new buddy and now looks forward to his haircuts! The atmosphere is cool and the staff are all friendly, talented, and more than accommodating… I would strongly recommend this barber shop to anyone looking for a professional yet stylish cut in the SCV! Thanks to Fredo and the entire team at Apollo’s!

Like Bruce K wrote 6 days ago, this place is a joke when it comes to appointments. Made an appointment for 1:45 today. Showed up at 1:40 and told them I was there for my 1:45 appointment. Should have known there was an issue with the dear in the headlights look. Was asked to take a seat while 3 of them conversed. After 5 minutes they tell me they screwed up and didn’t put the appointment in the computer and if I wanted to wait another 45 minutes they could take me. I declined and let them know this was my first time there and it would be my last. What a joke. Wake up folks. People don’t make appointments to sit around and wait because of your incompetence.
I walked out and they came after me to offer me a free hair cut. I declined saying I would not be back, not even for free. Do yourself a favor and only go here if you don’t value your time, because they don’t honor appointments.

Cancelled my morning appointment one hour before hand. I don’t know about you guys, but I have a family, a job, a life and a family — basically a very scheduled day/​week. They wouldn’t honor my time with another barber, and couldn’t give me a time until the afternoon.
Not to mention the fact that the good barbers seem to have left… too bad…

Best Barber Shop in SCV. Verry welcoming and classy without loosing that barbershop edge. I would highly recommend going with either Alfredo or his brother Edwardo if you want a great trim, shave and over experience. True professionals.

It used to be a nice place with good barbers. But all the barbers I was used to seeing all left. The ones that work there now are alright, but not the caliber that got me coming back initially. I’ll be looking for a new place.

I’ve been here twice– first time I walked in on a Sunday morning when they opened and waited 20 minutes before Alfredo cut my hair.
Overall impression of the cut was good, Alfredo was efficient and I liked the results. The shop itself is loud with two televisions echoing and the barbers jawing at each other constantly– not the most pleasant atmosphere but in spite of that I got a card with Alfredo’s name to continue getting my haircut by him while I’m in SC for a year working.
Fast forward to visit #2– I called yesterday and made an appointment to be seen by Alfredo when the shop opened at 10 (it’s a Sunday). I arrived 10 minutes early and was told after I had checked in that Alfredo «texted me to tell me he couldn’t get to me until 10:30.» I swallowed it with a good natured nonchalance despite having never received a text and sat down for the wait. I proceeded to watch Alfredo cut the hair of the gentleman he had been working on since I walked in and finally at 10:45 I decided I value my time more than Alfredo and the business proprietor do, and informed the receptionist I would be taking my business elsewhere.
If Apollo’s does a great job for you then that’s great, but I certainly won’t be going back. Buyer beware, especially if you make an appointment and value your time.

My barber was Sal and he did a good job. I was able to show him a picture of the haircut I wanted and exactly how I wanted it and he was able to satisfy what I was looking for.
I definitely recommend making an appointment before going in so you aren’t waiting. That was my mistake. They have a free private parking lot so it’s really easy to find parking. The people were nice and you could tell they have regulars.
I only came here because my regular barber wasn’t available and I don’t regret it but I’m sticking to my barber.
Pricing is $ 25 + $ 1 with a debit card for my traditional haircut.

Ask for Alfredo, you’ll be in the hands of a true professional. Clean cuts, amazing shaves, and friendly service. By far, the most skilled barber I’ve ever met!

My Hubby & Son have been coming to Alfredo for over 5 years. He is very skilled, provides excellent customer service & really gives you that one on one when your in the chair & won’t do anything else than what your asking for. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a barber to come to.

Great shop! Go see barber Alfredo for any haircut style!
Ask for the supermandis haircut, it will change your life.

First visit I was very impressed with the attention to detail that Jose had when cutting my hair. He is awesome! The environment is welcoming. Loved my haircut and will definitely be coming back!

Great barber shop and close to home.
Got a killer cut with great attention to detail from Fredo today. He really took the time to listen to what I wanted as well as offer his own expert advice. Bonus on the hot towels and straight razor neck shave. I will definitely be back.

After many years of trying different places such as Super-​cuts, Sport clips, and various mom and pop barber shops, I found this gem on the same site I am writing to you now. As men, we too need a place to get that fresh, clean, and sharp look.
Apollos is an establishment full of professionals, who are truly passionate about what they do.
Chase is the only barber that is allowed to work on my hair. She is amazing at what she does, and always goes the extra mile to make sure you love her work.
This is by far the best barber shop I have ever been to!
Make an appointment with Chase and you’ll always be looking sharp!

I walked in with no appointment and the receptionist was able to get my son with Nancy. It was a while since my son had a haircut and it was mess.
Both receptionist and Nancy were completely awesome, very professional and my son felt completely comfortable.
Will definitely come back
Thank you!

Came back to see Ernie to have my younger son get his hair cut. His hair was very long and he has been asking for sometime to cut it short. Even though I was very sad to see his long hair gone Ernie did an incredible job!
As always we were greeted warmly, taken right away, and over all had a great experience.

Great service, great conversation and everyone is always cheerful from the reception desk and phones to the barbers. The old-​school barbershop vibe with a bit of tattoo work. Head hair, facial hair — they will cut, trim, shape it all.
Go on dudes, get your ears lowered. «High and tight» or however else you want.

If you can’t cut hair, you shouldn’t call yourself a barber. I just had a haircut from Jimmy at the Town Center location and when I got home I noticed that the trim around my left ear was uneven, super high and super bald — almost an inch above my ear! (SEE PICS POSTED BELOW) Obviously this guy doesn’t know his way around the clippers just yet. This was my first visit and it’ll be my last.
Apollo’s, don’t call yourself a barber shop if all you really have is hipsters with the clipper skills of a six year old. Word to the wise; this place is all show and no go.
