I came in to this barber for a quick, simple cut. As soon as i walked in, I was thrown off by the lack of customers besides myself. As I peered around, I saw their price list, which stated a haircut was $16 dollars. For a low end place, this price was higher than I expected, and it was one of the priciest haircuts I recieved. Despite all of these red flags, I decided to give it a chance. I was attended to by an elderly Asian man, who could not speak English very well. He asked me what type of haircut I wanted. Knowing that most barbers could work off of pictures, I decided to show him one from a few months ago. The picture was from when I had received a great haircut for $9. The haircut was a basic combover. My barber looked at it for approximately 2 seconds, and simply said no. Taken aback, I decided to ask why. He claimed it was too complicated. For someone who looked like an experienced barber, it seemed that he had no discernable skills. I decided to describe the cut, that I wanted my sides short and the top a little longer. I also mentioned the price I had received that haircut for, to prove that it was very basic. In a rude tone, he snapped at me, saying I should back go to wherever I got that from. Staying calm, I told him to try it, assuming he was capable. He took his time cutting my hair, luckily they have a TV that helped distract me. When he was done, I had a haircut that was very clearly not like the photo. Despite this, I thought it wasnt that bad, so I went ahead and paid my 16 dollar debt. To my surprise, it turns out they only accept cash. Writing this on the wall or maybe telling the customers beforehand would go a long way. I lucked out and found cash in my car, so I didnt have any issues. To summarize: avoid at all costs. If you must go here, please do not receive a haircut from the elderly man, choose any other worker. Mediocre cut, but terrible customer service, and definitely not worth the price.

Showed up and an elderly Asian man was going to be my barber. He spoke almost no English, but Im used to that. I brought pictures. Apparently he didnt speak pictures either cause he wasnt even close. First time Ive ever had to ask a barber to try again. I had to have it redone twice here. It still sucked. Oh, and I hope you like sitting in silence for twice as long as any other haircut youve ever received. The guy looks like hes been cutting hair twice as long as Ive been alive, yet somehow never picked up how to do it well or quickly. Id be fine with slow and nice, or fast and just decent. But slow and bad? Really? What was my reward for such an unpleasant experience? Finding out that they are cash only. But dont worry, theres an ATM across the street where you can pay 3 bucks to have the privilege of being able to pay for your hair cut. Good luck finding it by the way. Remember, he doesnt speak English, so all I got is "ATM". Not "Theres an ATM in the liquor store across the street", just "ATM", even when pressed to be more specific. An absolutely miserable experience from start to finish that I wouldnt repeat if you paid me.

Awful! First time in my life I left mid way. It was really not hard - Nr 5 on the sides and then blend in. Usually takes 10-15 minutes. He used nr5 PLUS a comb, which makes no sense. Then went to the other side, and a few minutes later I realized he had removed the 5 and was using the bare clippers and a comb. Checked in the mirror, left side had 2-3 mm of hair, while the right side had 1-1.5 inches. Got up, left, and went to a different shop for the recovery.

This is such a cool place to have your Hair Cut for. I have been a regular customer of this shop from last 4 years, the thing that remains unchanged is the warmth of the staff and the way they handle each and every single customer. They are never harsh, understand customers requirement always and provide services with best price. I would certainly not change my options for the time I am staying around Sunnyvale and MTV.

Civic Square Barber is a fine place to go for a simple, mens haircut. Theyre open every day (9-5ish), and a regular cut is $12. When I was there on a Saturday afternoon they had four barbers working, and I didnt have to wait at all.

This is a no-fuss barber with friendly people. As far as I can tell, its drop-in only. There are always at least 3 barbers working, each with varying skill. They are kind to kids. Reasonable prices also.

I wish there were 6 stars, the older barber who cuts in the middle seat is a pure craftsman. He has been cutting for over 45 years. He is the Michael Jordan of barbers.

Fast and excellent service. They are fine with walk-ins, listen to your requests, and are very inexpensive. I got at least two compliments on the resulting hair cut.

Uneven everywhere. Barber does not care at all. Had to ask several times to redo it and it still came out shity af. I would give this less than 1 star if I could.

If only i could give 0 rating. They dont pay any attention to what you say and the guys dont even care about the cut they do. They just do however they like.

Probably the best haircut I have had in awhile. Older Asian guy cut my fade super sick. Tipped him phat. Definitely coming back.

I guess thats what you get for 6 bucks - should I be surprised? I went for a beard trim and left with a mess.

Quick service even when busy. Cool older barbers and one young guy who doesnt stop talking. Very funny.
