I came in for a burst fade with a messy crop, and unfortunately had an extremely poor result. The photos speak for themselves: • The first photo shows my hair immediately before the appointment. • The second photo shows the result immediately after the haircut. • The third and fourth photos are the reference photos I provided. I had been growing my hair out for about six months, so the result was shocking. The cut has multiple random short sections and noticeable missing patches, making it very uneven overall. Those bangs are a crime. I did not take more photos, but it absolutely looked way worse in person. I sped to another salon the same day to see if anything could be done.

Got a crew cut from JT the other day. Easily the best experience I’ve had a barbershop in East Bay. Dude is a professional! He is super detail oriented - you can see it in how he cuts hair and how he runs his shop. Not only was the team efficient in getting through walk-ins, but the place had a good vibe with friendly barbers. Would recommend to anyone new to the area in search for a regular barbershop. The price is in line with the rest of Berkeley, but the value you get here is much higher than other shops. I will definitely be back!

Took my son to get a hair cut and the experience was awesome. Barber took his time and was patient with him making my son feel comfortable from beginning to end. The owner is really nice as well and has curated a great atmosphere for pampering.
