Vaughn’s Barber Shop

No one cuts better than The «V» Man!
Don’t bother going anywhere else!
Closed Sun & Mon.

I love taking my twin 6 year old boys here. They get awesome haircuts at a very fair price. Friendly down home service. My boys actually get excited to go get their hair cut. The lollipops at the end are great too. We always just walk in and have short to no wait. I didn’t know the first time it was cash only though. so make a stop at the ATM next door before you go in. We love supporting our local businesses and this is one place we were happy to find!

From the east coast, and what we look for is the atmosphere. The barbers are really funny and down to earth definitely a nice first cut experience at Cali. It’s a bit pricey, my barbers at the east coast usually charge a flat rate which includes a haircut obviously, shave beards and they do your eyebrows if requested no extra charge. But I give it a 4 star for the atmosphere and the barbers cam keep up a conversation.

My husband has been going to Vaughn since he was 15, now pushing 30 my husband drives an hour to still get his hair cut by Vaughn. He knows my husbands hair type and cuts it accordingly. Has he had a few not so flatteringly cuts from there? Yes, it happens but he just shrugs his shoulders and waits for his hair to grow out and goes back for a cut.
Vaughn looks out for his customers. He was talking to my husband over a cut one day and learned we were looking for a new car and Vaughn said he would keep an ear out. The next visit, Vaughn inquired if we were still looking for a car. My husband said that we were. Vaughn told him he was getting ready to sell his car and asked if we were interested. End of the story we bought Vaughn’s car.

If your looking for a great haircut with some «good ol boy» humor, this is the place. Don’t even ask for a highlight or quaff. These guys do a good job without the frills or added expense of most other places. They work fast so there isn’t much of a wait which is too bad cuz they have lots of sports memorabilia to check out. My kids like getting their hair cut now!

As a Marine, I am very, very picky about my haircut. I don’t keep it as «high & tight» as I used to, but I want it clean, tight, and professional. I went to Vaughn’s for the first time today and met with «Chief». The place is an old-​school barber shop, like stepping back in time. Chief does a good job.

I just happened to drive by Vaughn’s Barbershop about a hour ago and needed a cut. I walked in and I was already part of their conversation, made me feel right at home in their true barber shop. 5 minutes later I was in the chair and got a great flat top cut by Vaughn himself. Worth every penny and more.

Hair cut was good. Service was awful.
I frequent independently owned, true barber shops for my hair cuts, as opposed to Super Cuts or any other chain hair cut place. That being said, I figured I’d try out Vaughn’s, being as it’s close to my house.
I got there early, right as they opened and was rudely greeted by the only barber there, (I never got his name cause he told me he wouldn’t give his name to me when I asked). I shrugged it off and decide to get a hair cut anyway…
Throughout the hair cut, he ignored two questions I asked, as if I didn’t even exist, talked with the other gentlemen barber, and ignored my request for bit higher fade. The only question he answered was, «how long have you been cutting hair?» His response, «since we opened this morning.» Witty, but not the type of responses you’d expect from someone in the service industry, who knew I was looking for a new barber, and had been a royal prick since I stepped foot in the establishment.
Note* This «experience» was from two months ago, not recently.

My son had his hair cut for the first time at Vaughn’s Barber Shop. We had moved to Livermore and had to find a haircut place for my son who is 15 yrs old. By word of mouth, people said to try Vaughn’s Barber Shop. So we went and met Vaughn. Vaughn did a great job. My son and I really loved how his haircut turned out. Vaughn is a sweet, humorous guy to talk to and makes you feel at home. My son is definitely coming back to Vaughn’s Barber shop.

I came in asking for a 1 on the sides, 4 on top, and a medium fade with a bit longer hair in the front. I took a shower and washed my hair thoroughly in order to make it easier for the barber to catch hairs that might be sticking out. I have fine straight easy to cut hair. I got the full typical barber haircut with clipper cut, followed by scissors, finished with a razor lining trim. The fade itself was pretty well done as well as the one on the sides but that’s almost impossible to mess up.
Cons: I had hair sticking out all over my head. I had to go and trim myself with scissors. I also had a flat top over a 3“x3″ area at the center on my hair. I had to gel my hair over the area since there was nothing else I could do. I also wasn’t given a mirror to look at before saying I was done.
Overall I give him a 2.5÷5. I rounded down since I was charged $ 17 for a $ 5 haircut. Not including the $ 3 tip I gave before seeing the results. I could have been harsher but I also realize I was a visitor to Livermore. Definitely not worth the 4.5 stars this place gets. I got my haircut from Larry.

My son got the best haircut of his life here (he is 3) :-) The gentleman who cut his hair was super nice and made him feel totally comfortable. He has very straight hair that like to grow completely forward. Every previous hair cut has left my poor guy looking like Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber (the bangs). The guy who cut my son’s hair totally understood what I was asking for and made my little guy look great. Thank you! We will be back!

Vaughn’s was a very pleasant surprise. Brought my sons, age 6 and 3, for a haircut and like one other poster mentioned, they got the best cut they’ve ever had at Vaughn’s. Vaughn was a riot and made my 6 year old laugh the whole time. Larry was a perfectionist with my 3 year old’s hair. He was so gentle that my son was falling asleep in the chair! The best part… when we got in the car, my 6 year old told me ‘mom, we don’t need to go to place with toys, I like Vaughn’s the best. I want to get my hair cut there every time!’. Thanks Vaughn’s and see you in 6 weeks!

I have two young boys, ages 6 and 7. One has fine, pretty easy to cut hair. The other has thick, wavy hair which has been a challenge for other places to cut. I typically take my boys to Greatclips, because its near my home, and I often am in a hurry to get their hair cut because I have neglected to get it done sooner. Usually their hair looks fine for about two weeks, and then starts to grow out all funky. I have to use hair spray, gel, water, etc to get their mops to lay flat.
On to my visit to Vaughns… had a broken dryer so I was forced to do my laundry at the laundromat next door. We had time to kill so I went over to Vaughns to see if they had time to cut my boys’ hair. We waited a little bit, but nothing my fidgety boys couldn’t handle. I told the first barber (didn’t catch his name) to do a scissor cut on my son, longer on the top so it could be combed to the side. He said, he should do a clipper cut instead, and to trust him, he’d «fix him up nice». My boys have had one clipper cut in their lives, and they looked like they had just signed up for the army. So needless to say, I was a bit worried with the barbers insistence on using clippers. Same situation with the other barber pretty much. They said «mom, have a seat, we’ll make these boys handsome as ever». So I did as I was told, I sat and watched.
I was impressed with the way these guys handled my children. They chatted with them, were funny, and took their time cutting. They have a natural friendliness and the banter between barbers and the regular customers was pretty amusing.
Once they were done, I kid you not, these were the best haircuts my boys have ever had. I can’t wait to see how these cuts grow out. I just know they are going to look better for a longer period of time. Bottom line, if you are male and have hair, go see these guys. They’ll «fix you up nice», indeed.

Great shop! You walk in, sit down, wait your turn. Wen its your turn you get a no nonsense haircut. $ 16.00. A barber shop for men. If you want to end up looking like a French poodle, or music poser, go somewhere else!

Vaughn has been cutting my hair for quite some time, and I am not sure why it has taken me so long to give his shop this 5 star review. There is something special about a place where they know you, and remember the conversations you have had in the past. It makes you feel so comfortable, and you know that these guys know what you want done with your hair. A great place, and great people.

Used to get my hair cuts from my girlfriend’s stylist but she moved. It’s been 3 or 4 months and Thanksgiving is coming up so tried Vaughn’s. It’s an old fashioned barber shop, reminds me of the shop my dad used to take me to. It ended up shorter than I expected but it looks so good I’ll never go back to the shaggy style i had before. The atmosphere is great. They joke around, have college football on the TV, and had a good laugh when I asked if I needed an appointment. They make you feel at home. The thing that impressed me most was the amount of time they spent on a hair cut (even the guys that didn’t look like they needed a hair cut) both the barbers took the time to make sure the hair cut was perfect. I would recommend this place to anyone

If you want a real mans hair cut then this is your place, if you want a foo foo hair cut go to a woman’s beauty salon, good old fashion barber shop at its best !

I have only been to this shop once, so what I’m about to say may not apply to everyone working there. The person who gave me a haircut only knew how to do crew cuts and only knew how to use an electrical clipper. When I asked for scissors on top, he replied «I’m not very good with scissors. I can do you with the clipper, though»… That’s why I’m having difficulty calling him a barber… So for $ 16 I got myself a mediocre-​looking crew cut, that was almost exactly what the person before me got. When I got home, I saw that the hair was cut unevenly in many places. I felt that it was too short and let too much skin show through the hair. But, to their credit, as my hair grew over the next month, I must say that it maintained a crew cut shape and didn’t grow into an afro, like my hair does most of the time.
All in all, I’m entertaining an idea of going back, because, once my hair started growing back, the haircut looked fine for weeks, but I wouldn’t go here for anything other than a crew cut.
Also, the barber was pretty friendly.
Oh, and by the way, Vaughn’s does not accept credit cards (not sure about debit; probably not, either).

Got an haircut from Vaughn.
I am glad I said I wanted it not too short, otherwise I would be bald by now.
It is a kind of authentic local barber shop.
Paid $ 16.
I’ll go back if my hair ever grow back.

Dropped in for the first time today
Nice small barbershop
Got a great haircut from Larry
I didn’t catch there hours but did see that they were open 7 days a week
