"This place is the best barber shop, I've been coming here for years. Frank and the guys are great, they are professional, skilled and all around good guys. They are very welcoming and friendly, in fact every time I come here I feel like I'm catching up with some friends. The prices are reasonable given the skill set, and the place is clean."
"Was able to make an appointment same day, very friendly, professional. Super satisfied with my cut which doesnt happen often. Will definitely be a returning customer. TY Nathan."
"I'm in San Diego for University and I was searching for a barber/hairstylist that would be as good as my hairstylist back home. This was the second place I went to and I'm thoroughly satisfied with how I had my hair cut. I'm definitely going to come back there especially since the haircuts for men are cheap."
