Ive been here multiple times, at different times of the day (as well as different days of the week) and there was always a long wait. There is a pad of paper to put your name down, but not a good sense of how long the wait will be. The staff has given very low-ball estimates every time I asked. I was once told "about 15 minutes" over the phone but when I got there just minutes later, it was "maybe 45 minutes?" I understand they are a business that relies on partly on walk-in clientele, so there is a need to keep prospective customers anchored at the shop, but this is frustrating if you cant get an accurate idea of how long you have to wait or when to come back.

Steve is the man! Ive been getting faded from him and his wife Lena for about 5 years now. There used to be another young barber that was really damn good too but he must be at another shop now. Steve knows how to cut hair. Hes one of those old school barbers thats adapted to changing times and is up to date with all the new trends. Im only giving 4 because Steve and his wife Lena are the only ones Id trust with my hair now. The other barbers are a hit and miss with me, although Ive seen them do pretty good on other people.

10/10 barber shop! What can I say? Steve and Lena are simply phenomenal. I travel 5 hours just to get a fade from them (when Im not traveling from Vancouver through San Jose just for the cut). They are very professional and fun loving people. It is a very comfortable barber shop and they have essentially placed the bar too high for any other place I have tried. I will never stop going here and refer everyone I know

Great place for a clean cut, professional staff and each one gives a great cut. The average haircut here takes about 30-40 minutes not including wait times (which can sometimes be an hour) so plan accordingly. They do not take appointments but you can call in and have your name put on the list, which is a plus. All around great place if youre looking for somewhere new.

I have been going to Steve for 20+ years. He is the best barber around. Right when you walk in you are welcomed with a smile and how is your day going. Anyone who comes in is treated like family. Also Steves staff is the best around. See anyone of his barbers and you will not leave disappointed.

We go here nearly all the time. And then sometimes we go else where. And then we go back here! Ive only once had a cut Ive not been happy with, so thats a pretty good hit rate. Try to pick the quiet hours in the week for less waiting and a lower price.

Ive been looking for a while for a good barber in town and these two have it down. Excellent care and detail to their work. If you love a straight edge barber these two are your best bet! I just went for my first time and Im very happy with the cut.

Make no mistake this is a REAL barbershop. All of the staff here are personally trained by the main barber Steve and can have you looking your best for any occasion. The only downside is sometimes theres quite a bit of a wait but its well worth it.

Kelly always cuts my sons hair and it always looks great. Everyone at the barber shop is very friendly. Well worth the wait. Definitely not a 2 minute hair cut. They always take there time and do great work! Thank you Kelly. From Louis Mom ;)

I have never got a bad haircut from anyone here. Really good line work. Walk ins only, but definitely worth the wait each time. I recommend coming in on a weekday. Comes out to about $25 for a razor fade and line up.

if you have kids take them to see Ben! My son was afraid of getting his hair cut until I took him here. Ben took the time and approach to make it a good experience. my son now asks when we are going to see Ben now.

Went in for the first time and got a really good fade cut. My hair is a little tough to cut and I was impressed with the quality and attention to detail. Kelly did a great job and I will DEFINITELY be going back!

They are super friendly and know how to cut hair. I have been going here for about two years now. Kelly is my favorite and I always go to her, but they are all talented. Definitely would recommend!

You know it is a great place when you see 15 people waiting for the door to open. I have gotten great service and appearance because of this shop for the last four years. Thank you Steve & Co.

The best barber shop in SJ. Every single staff member there is better than the next. So youre guaranteed the perfect taper or fade. Steve the owner is very welcoming and remembers everyone

Everyone that leaves here looks extra fresh, but I had Jovan and he brings his talent with him from Miami! Mohawk fade was on point, especially in the back.

The wait can be a bit long, especially on weekends, but that is because its so popular. The cuts are consistently great and at a great price.

Jeff West

Great haircuts at a reasonable price. Their attention to detail and the way they make everyone feel like a regular is fantastic.
