Leucadia Barber Shop

Every time I get a haircut, someone asks me where I went to get it done. I’ve been going to Leucadia Barber Shop for a while and I highly recommend anyone looking for a legit barber to come here. Not only is it inexpensive, but it’s the best straight-​razor shave anywhere close to Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside or Leucadia, obviously. It’s a great family-​owned business and love going in, catching up, and walking out feeling and looking great.
You can see a lot of their work, here:

My son and husband have gone here a few times and they leave with the best haircuts. They are all super talented and have great service. I highly recommend this place. They have confidence in third work and are quick but precise. Everyone I saw walked out looking good.

Came in to get the side of my head shaved. I’m a girl and it was a welcoming shop. No weird dude only vibe. The owners are sweet. Cash old so stop at the atm!

My barber of 15+ years had serious health issues, and I needed a new shop. Was a bit nervous and hit up friends for recommendations. Based on one strong referral from one friend, I decided to try Leucadia Barber Shop. Bottom line: 5 of 5. Great haircut, great guys, great location. Found my new shop. Done and done.
Details: I was on a regular cadence of a haircut every 5 weeks with the same guy, same chair. Happy groove. Sadly, he fell ill and groove-​interrupted. Because it took me a while to pound the pavement and find some new options, i was about 4 – 5 weeks overdue for cut… which meant my scalp was hold down a big hot mess. Walked in (no appointment necessary, but called in advance to see if there’s an open chair) and got Juan, the owners son (or… one of them that works there). He did a great job, was great about walking me through the steps he was taking as he learned more about my wants, as well as weird aspects of my unruly mane. He took his time, was detailed and thorough, and ended with a neck shave that gave me a smart, clean look. Awesome. Will be going there again.

Leucadia is a great old school barber shop.
When Real Barber Shop closed, I decided to give their sister location a try. I wasn’t disappointed. They delivered the same high quality and reasonable prices. It meant 15 minutes more in the car but the extra drive time also landed me in one of my favorite beach towns.
I have been several times now. Although I prefer Linda the owner, all of the cuts I have gotten from the other barbers have been good. I rarely have had to wait more than 10 minutes when I go during the day. It’s quick, easy and good.

The lady gives a great cut. Took her time and did it right. Couldn’t be happier.

I received my cut from the older man in the back chair, and was not happy with his work. He took too much off the sides when I specifically told him not too. He didn’t clean up the sides well and I have a bunch of hairs sticking out. I don’t think this man could see very well. If you need a good haircut don’t get it done by this man. Other then that the place was small and pretty out of date. For $ 17 dollars never again.

This review is for Lauren, and I have nothing but good things to say about her, she was awesome and fun to talk to and she also gave me a great haircut! Lauren understood exactly how I wanted to have my hair cut and I couldn’t be happier especially for the price ($ 17). She works Mondays from 9:30 — 5:00pm, I would highly recommend going to her, because I will definitely be going back.

If you walk in and the only person working there is a guy that looks like he belongs in a Bee Gees cover band, turn around and walk away. I should’ve followed my instincts when I walked in. I was expecting to find a female barber based on a previous reviews, but apparently she only works Mondays. I asked for a standard business cut, he gives me a taper. He also took off too much with the arch above one of the ears, making it obviously uneven. At least he left a little on top to work with. I could tell he just wanted to get the haircut over with so he could go back to watching Dr Oz. He mentioned he was recently transferred from their other shop on El Camino Real, I can see why.

Bad service. Waited for almost 30 minutes outside after opening time. No one showed. I called their other location. The person who answered the phone said he was the owner and that the his shop has nothing to do with this shop. Having gone to both locations for many years I know this is wrong and questioned him. He then said he wasn’t the owner and became very rude, yelling at me. Do not go to either of their locations.

She gave my man an amazing haircut and is a sweet lady. She has great skills and has had this shop about 18yrs!

This lady is a gem. the place needs a face-​lift but I don’t care. I go for the service and the quality of the cut and company is great!

For a barber shop, it’s terrific. $ 15 gets me a great haircut. I forget the lady’s name (despite the fact that I go there monthly), but she’s really nice and more importantly, gives an amazing cut. $ 20 out the door (that’s with a $ 5 tip), does me nicely. No need to go anywhere else. Sure, the place is rustic and old-​fashioned, but that’s what makes it good ‘ol funky Leucadia-​style!
Go here and keep her busy, but don’t go when I want to go otherwise I’ll have to wait in line longer.

Just moved here from Philly and have to say this place rocks! Great small town barber shop, good conversation, and a great hair cut! Stoked, killer deal for $ 15, definitely will be a regular customer.

Love it. First visit today, came home, my wife said it was the best haircut I’ve ever gotten.

The price is right ($ 15) and the lady does a great job. The cherry on top is the short, but sweet scalp massage at the end. This is my new go to barbershop.
