The Barb Shop

I've been seeing Ro at The Barb for several months now and I'm obsessed. She's genuinely learned my hair over time, and remembers the little (big) things--my cat--visit to visit. This morning a stranger stopped me while boarding the 49 to ask where I got my cut, which felt like the best possible endorsement. Highly recommend Ro and this uber feel-good place! 💚

10/10 experience. The most gender affirming haircut and experience I’ve ever had. Everyone at the shop is SO NICE and friendly. Thank you, Ro!!! Incredible atmosphere. If you are wondering if the price is worth it, it absolutely is. Also the soft serve is bomb.

Brought in my 4yo daughter today and I was amazed at how Ro held her attention. The cut turned out great and didn’t require a phone or iPad to keep her still. The promise of rainbow sprinkles at the end didn’t hurt. I know $55 for a kids cut seems high, but with gratuity/kids cone included it seems comparable to most kids cuts in SF I’ve paid for. And it was the highest quality we’ve gotten.

Ro hooked me up with the greatest mullet imaginable. The barbers here will give you the hair moment you always dreamed of while also being some of the sweetest most charming humans around!! Go barb!

Super friendly staff! You can help yourself to an assortment of coffee, ice cream, or milkshakes while you wait to get cleaned up by the fantastic barbers here. They also have a walk up window for a sweet treat while you're making your way down the lovely Cortland Ave.
