Urban Barber College

Good place to get a good haircut at a good price! Also helping students get ready for their career! Great staff!!!

Love this place came here yesterday with my 2 boys and was very happy with the outcome and we from Australia

Went in and asked for a hair cut, request a Asian Stylist. The reception says ok! 10 Dollar please.
Paid it. Reception said Take receipt and bring to the instructor have him know my request.
this Instructor said: «we are race neutral here, you can’t request a Asian Stylist» .
Took money back .
Have a good day!
Bye

Got a haircut today by a level 3 barber. Fantastic job. The space is really nice and the employees are really chill. The thing I liked best was that my barber took the extra time to understand exactly what I wanted. He offered his opinion but didn’t force anything which is the way it should be. Definitely going again!

I’ve been coming here for a while now and I really enjoy the atmosphere here. Every time I come here I never wait long to get cut. Abdullah is very friendly and attentive and that’s what I look for as far as customer service. They have a huge selection of hair products for many types of hair as well. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

This is my second time coming here and I can see myself becoming a regular. The student who I worked with last time and this occasion is Bernardino. He is friendly, professional and is good barber. I highly recommend anyone that wants a clean cut go to Bernardino. I’m glad I found this place.

Went in here for a hair cut. The guy at the counter told me to get a tag. I didn’t know where he wanted me to go or do. The only other employee was busy, so I left. I’m not going to jump through hoops so some inexperienced person can cut my hair.

A hit or miss with certain students. Definitely a good place to go when you don’t really care for PERFECT hair cuts, although it does happen from time to time. It is cheap –$ 8 so it’s what you pay for. Some days I’ve had good cuts, some days there could be improvement. So use your own discretion.

The customer service here is beyond great! Much respect to Bahar who consistently makes you feel welcome every time someone steps foot into that door. She is very knowledgeable about products ranging from clippers, cosmetics to even hair pomade! Overall, expect a very kind, welcoming and professional environment at this barber college/​supply store!

Been coming here for awhile, nice place to relax and get your head straightened out. I usually just zone out and listen to all of the conversations going on. There’s some people still learning the ropes, so very rarely you might get someone who takes a bit longer on your cut, but hey, it’s a school and it’s cheap. Other than that, I walk out happy after around 40 minutes.

Just got back from UBC, ahhh – that feeling you get after a fresh haircut! Especially when you’re satisfied with your barber.
I usually cut my own hair, but I decided to stop by and see Nate for a fade and taper. He said he’d been attending the college for a couple months now, but he’s been cutting hair for years out of his garage before that. He seemed to know what he was doing and made me feel comfortable knowing I was in good hands. I was surprised at how well he payed attention to detail. I would definitely recommend seeing Nate, although the other barbers I observed seemed legit too.
Overall experience at UBC was excellent, check them out!

Urban Barber College is as legit as it gets for a good haircut at a great price.
I went into today for a fresh cut after visiting Urban Barber College several months ago. The first experience I had with Eugene, who graduated and moved on, made me need (not want) to return, as the team of students are highly motivated to do a great job to make you look sharp.
Knowing that my man Eugene was no longer there, I was a bit sad, but I knew that whoever I was partnered with would listen to my styling needs to help me achieve the look I wanted.
After waiting about five minutes after paying for the cut at the front desk, I was introduced to my barber for the day, Doug. Doug asked me about how I’d like my hair cut and styled and actually listened, unlike the run-​of-​the-​mill places like Great Clips, as he made sure at every step that I was happy with my cut. After falling in love with the use of feather shears on my last visit, I found that Doug had a set of his own. This is something that I have found other places do not utilize, and the difference between a typical shear trim and feather shear trim is very noticeable.
As others have stated, depending on your style and what else you’d like done, be prepared to spend about half an hour in the chair, as the students are still learning and are all about quality and not speed. This is something I found out on my first visit and am very appreciative of the amount of time that they put into making their clients happy. This is my go-​to place for getting a sharp, stylish haircut. It’s in a great spot, as you can always stop in before or after visiting one of the local restaurants in the strip.

This review is for the barber and beauty supply store, finally I find a place that carries every thing a Barber needs, They open on my days off which are Sundays and Mondays, the customer service representative Bahaar is the best, she always greets everyone and myself with a smile, very friendly and professional, is very patient when I’m asking about Barber supplies, and she knows her stuff very informative, Every item she has suggested always works and my clients love it. If you are a Barber or in the need of barber and beauty supplies you must go, Great place, friendly staff an excellent prices

It may be a school but I’ve always gotten the haircut I wanted in a friendly setting. The students/​barbers/​stylists (what do you call them these days?) really REALLY want to be there and it shows. They’re always helping each other and sometimes, when you have a new student, it becomes a team project.
I dunno know. I like it there and have no intention of going anywhere else. And the price is the least of it. I could probably afford to pay more but why bother? I get what I need and they get the hours. Everyone wins.
Right?

We were in the area and my boys needed haircuts (ages 5&7). I was very impressed at the attentiveness and dedication of all the staff here. They were patient and understandable. When my 5 yr old starting screaming after 10 minutes, they zipped through the cut (knowing a kids attention span) and still did a great job. What great service! There are also so many students, Walk ins are encouraged!

Great People, Great Prices and an Awesome Environment!
That’s the trifecta in my book.
I always come in here smiling and leave with a great cut. They treat you super well! Whenever I visit family out here, I try to stop by here to get cleaned up and it never disappoints! Consistency is a chore to find elsewhere but this place has it!
It’s a charming spot, try it if you haven’t already you won’t be disappointed!

First time here and had Jessie give me my haircut. Although I made it easy on her and ask for a #1 all around, her attention to detail on trimming the back and around my ears was excellent. Would definitely come back and recommend.
Thanks Jessie!

Pleasantly surprised by an amazing haircut for my son. Only $ 6 and it is the most styling cut of his life. Everyone was so nice. It was a very laid back atmosphere. Student were happy and courteous. I got a neck clean up and the student had only been there month, yet she did a great job. It was evident that they are striving for perfection

Clean and professional establishment. Great service for the price. If you’re selective about your barber, this is the place to go for quality.
And who can beat a free shampoo with a haircut when you check in with Unilocal

Best barber college in the bay hands down!!!
Great teachers, awesome curriculum and outstanding state board passing rate!!!
