Ive been going here about 6 months. First time at the new location. Darrin gives a great cut. Hands down, the onky reason i keot coming back. Today, i waited an hour to get my haircut, then he just leaves for lunch. Its 3pm, theres 6 guys waiting. One of the other guys says hell be back in like 30 minutes, so i continue to wait. 45 minutes later, I give up and go to another Barber. I end up keaving with some retarded looking High and Tight thing that looks like I should be on the cover of some Marine recruiting magazine. He said, he took "a really big half inch off." Gotta let this grow out and get Leftys to fix it up :( 2 hr trip where the owner bails on the place, I wait in a damn hot waiting room with no AC, and get a haircut for $20 that people laugh at. Giving them a 2 star because Darrin can really cut hair. Im just not going to go back after todays experience.

Great place to get a cut. I just moved to San Diego and one thing Ive always found very difficult whenever I move to a new area is finding a barbershop that can cut my hair right. The first place I went to was Fantastic Sams; disaster. Luckily, the second time I needed a haircut I was able to find a barbershop right around the block that was perfect for me. Darin is excellent at cutting hair and hes very personable, which makes it a lot easier for you to get the perfect cut from him. And if theres a wait, crack a beer, watch some SportsCenter, and chill out and enjoy some good conversation. Highly recommended.

I LOVE this shop! Ive been going to OB Barbershop for the past year. I decided I was going to try my first ever undercut (nape design) and was referred to OB Barbershop. I like that its small and only a few barbers and trust me good things come to those who wait -this isnt a Supercuts. Ryan Ortiz has been doing my designs and each time I walk out with a super fresh cut. I only hear good things about all the other barbers, everyone has there own personal technique which makes for a strong, versatile team. You guys are great!

These guys have been cutting my hair for almost three years. Darren, Josh, and Ryan all put out clean cuts with steady hands. I love this shop, come in have a beer, shoot the shop talk, its got that 1502 vibe that us locals love. The only reason i see anyone not liking their experience here is if you are a impatient, uptight prick that cant wait an hour before getting a haircut, but then again we really dont need that in OB anyway. Keep that money local guys!

Ive been going to Darin for 6 years, even before he started at the newer shop on Santa Monica in Ob, and I have never had a better barber. Darin includes the neck razor shave with your hair cut which is a lost art with the low cost barbers out there. Comfortable place, he puts your game on, and all the guys who work for him an frequent the shop are good to chat with. Its the Ob version of the old school barber shop with a new feel.

I have been going here for 5 years (they used to have a different location close to this one, they just recently moved. I wont go to a different place now, because I have never gone and been disappointed. Daryn is awesome and he is quick to learn your name, and offer you some snacks or drinks while you wait (the waits usually arent that bad) wish I was 21 because he has a keg open for anyone of age, highly recommend!

I am stoked for the new location, since this is my favorite barbershop in So Cal. I used to get my hair cut here even when I moved to LA. His team are the only barbers I trust with my cowlicks and my son loves getting his hair cut, and they dont have any kiddie stuff. They are efficient but they do a great job first. I cant recommend OB Barbershop enough. Good luck with the new location!

Darin has been my barber for over 4 years since I met him when his only OB availability was Wed-Fri evenings next to Victory on Sunset. I can always count on him to give me a solid cut and he never lets me down. $16 for a great haircut, good conversation, and a cold one while Im waiting...best deal in town. He even breaks out the straight razor for the neck before you leave.

From the decorations to the atmosphere, the great barbers are just the tip of the ice berg. Ive had the main barber as my hair-cutter since I was 7, and I know a lot of others who also dont want to try new barbers. OB Barbershop is a great representation of Ocean Beach, and the people really just care about you and your hair.

Been going to this place for about 6 months now. Every time I have gotten a different barber. They are all great. They know how to use the straight razor. They take their time, never feels rushed. They always have a complimentary craft keg on tap and bottled water in the fridge. $21 a cut, Ive found my SD barber.

Darin does a great job. I had been to several barbers in Ocean Beach but now I go to him alone. His price is very reasonable, his shop is clean and comfortable (with a large flat screen and beverages), and he is friendly and hospitable. Give Darin a try.

Not only the best cuts in Ocean Beach, but the best cuts in San Diego!! The vibe is chill and laid back. The shop is run very well with great customer service and detailed cuts. Dont cheat yourself, treat yourself- the old school traditional way.

Staff is very courteous and they always have at least four people working at any given time. They take their time and make sure theyre giving you a quality hair cut. They only take cash but its totally worth it.

Love love love the new location at 1917 Cable Street, OB, just around the corner from his old shop. Darin now has 4 barbers in house, no wait. Same great cut, lots of tvs and cool vibes.

Found this place because it was the only barber shop open till 8. I have passed it a million times, so hard to find. Sports on TV, friendly people, fun conversation, and a great haircut!

By far the best Barber shop in San Diego hands down. Never one is super nice. Awesome to chill while you wait for your hair cut. Always sports on and cold drinks while you wait.

I travel every week for work and need to make sure my hair looks clean and professional. I wouldnt trust anyone else with my hair besides OB barber shop.

Deluxe chairs, 42" flat screen, beverages and and a great haircut. If I move Ill probably fly back every two weeks to have Darren take care of business.

Darin always takes care of his customers. All the guys in this shop are the best at what they do. Plus a cold beer and sports on is icing on the cake.

Darin is old school meets new school pure talent. He takes his time to give the best quality hair cut I have ever had for a very reasonable price.
