★★★★★ 5.0 Ron Krueger · Jan 2026

Cesar is phenomenal. His attention to detail exceeds all others I’ve experienced in the neighborhood. He has cut my hair for 3 years. I get complimented on my haircuts from Cesar all the time. Scheduling is super easy. Highly recommend!!

★★★★★ 5.0 John Doe · Dec 2025

Excellent! One of the few places to get a REAL FADE. Been going for at least 15 years and it’s worth the trip from Andersonville. I barely speak Spanish, but don’t have any problem communicating my needs. My guy barely speaks English, but we connect. It takes him about 45 to 60 minutes to cut my hair, and that’s why I tip him well. I got a crappy cut from a hipster “old school”barbershop in my neighborhood up north… it was 45 bucks for about 2 minutes of razor and 15 minutes of the SuperCuts shearing job. Tons of imitators out there but Reuben’s is the real deal. In all these years, I’ve never seen a drug deal or riffraff anywhere near the store. Pretty sure negative reviews come from Karens. Yeah, my guy misses the mark every blue moon but he’s spot-on most of the time. I get compliment

I scheduled an appointment with Cesar online. I arrived on time, and he was already waiting for me, starting my haircut right away without any delays. He did an excellent job and is clearly a professional. Additionally, he has a friendly demeanor, which makes you feel comfortable during your appointment.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Noel Banda (ChristmasPanda) · Jan 2026

I'm a very picky and biased person when it comes to haircuts, it's my own fault for not being as DETAILED as I should've been, so as for MY haircut it wasn't so great and need a bit more "precision", that, tied in with the boring black and white modernized shop in comparison to the old shop pictures (the ones with the checkered floor) is saddening and makes it soulless in comparison. As for everything else, it's a decent shop with motivated workers, recommend it for more simple or straightforward cuts.

★★★★★ 5.0 John Mitrogiannis · Feb 2026

Cesar is an excellent barber—he takes his time, pays exceptional attention to detail, is genuinely friendly, and offers very reasonable prices. I’ll definitely be coming back.
