Jimmy Sanchez, Barber

Great guy. Great haircut. Great conversation.
’nuff said.

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Jimmy for a while now and he is great. Great communication by text, appointments always start on time, very friendly, and always a great cut. Just excellent service overall. Highly recommended for those picky about their hair cuts.

Jimmy’s a cool dude, who gives great cuts at a reasonable price. Always 100% satisfied with his work.

I almost never write Unilocal reviews. But if anyone deserves one it’s Jimmy. He is literally everything you want in a barber: great, consistent cuts from a talented and passionate person, very affordable (especially considering quality!), and great conversation every time. For most of my life I’ve just kinda gone to whomever is open or close, but I’m super happy to have finally found someone that I got to for every cut I get. He knows exactly what I like and he’s great at it.
Jimmy’s a guy who’s curious about people and life and clearly puts a lot of effort into everything he does. To quote Omar from the Wire, «A man’s got to have a code.» This man most certainly does and we are all better for it.

The guy who cut my hair was good but poor customer service!

Been coming to Jimmy for almost a year. He is very fast, very good, and very personable. I normally don’t like interacting with people and have never really had any sort of lasting conversation with a hair stylist, but I like that I can go chat with him, get a super consistent super clean cut, and be out the door without a massive price tag.
I should specify that I have a fairly basic haircut, but he consistently delivers every single time. I’ve yet to had any detail of it ever be different or sub-​par. I don’t require shampoo’ing or all the stuff salons offer and I’m glad that I don’t have to pay for it either.

Jimmy Sanchez is a good barber and a pleasant fellow to talk to. Thanks Jimmy!

Jimmy is not only a great barber but he will make you feel comfortable in his chair. You can easily talk to the guy about anything like guns, women, sports, etc. Definately book an appointment with him and you will not be disappointed.

My grandson and had a favorite barber that he grew up with. She recently moved away and we have been looking for someone to match his taste in haircuts. He is very particular and we found this place on Unilocal (thank you for the great reviews). We were welcomed warmly by several staff and customers. The ambiance is nice, reminding us of the «old school» barber shops. Quality first. The sitting area /​waiting area was comfortable and roomy. My daughter myself and my grandson enjoyed our time there, as the barber took special care of his request of a mohawk haircut. The young barber spent quite a bit of time crafting the haircut. Before he finished the master barber came over to check his work and gave him some advice to create an even better cleaner look. We appreciated the beautiful job he did. We will definitely come back again. My grandson said, «this is the place!»

Damn, Jimmy kills it every time! I’m still seeing him after all these years. Best Barber in Oakland!

Jimmy is the ONLY barber in the Bay that gives me fades like I used to get on the East Coast. And he’s quick.
Highly recommend… professional, courteous, quick and accepts credit cards.

I’ve recently moved in the area and been looking for a great place to get my hair cut.
I’ve been to super cuts and I’ll say after coming here I’ll never ever go back to super cuts again. They messed me up, not once. But twice. Don’t ask why I went again. I guess because it was a good price.
Anyways, so when I went here after reading the reviews and knew I’d get the hair I wanted that super cuts couldn’t achieve. Pierre did a great job! Definitely coming here again.

Almost two years now and I am still seeing Jimmy for my biweekly cuts. I’ve never had a bad cut. Consistency. I don’t even have to look at the mirror afterwards. I got a barber for life!

Jimmy has skills with his barber craft. Whether it’s a more traditional look, a more contemporary, or a hybrid of both, Jimmy can do it all with precision. Cool dude to talk to in general as well. Great work!

Pretty awesome… they made my hair look sweet! Awesome crew in a fantastic place!

Jimmy does great work. The man is a young and skilled, versatile barber. Not only is he seemingly in tune with current mens cuts, styles, tapers, etc. … he undoubtedly does exceptional work with various classic looks as well –just look at the photos on Unilocal.
He’s a very amicable & chill guy, easy to talk to/​with, and he’s confident in his work as a barber.
The price for a regular mens cut is reasonable too!
I should mention that he’s now at a different location than the address listed here (131 E 16^th St), so be sure to text him via phone to get the address of where he is currently posted at– now along Grand Ave, still adjacent to Lake Merritt.
So for fellas looking for a fresh, sharp, clean look in whatever way you generally prefer to have your hair cut, definitely hit up Jimmy!

I noticed this new shop while walking through the east Lake Merritt neighborhood and decided to give it a try. Jimmy gave me an excellent haircut at a great price. He has a very pleasant manner with customers. This neighborhood is turning a corner and Jimmy is one of the reasons. Give him a try!

As a guy who has dated his share of hairstylists in his life, most of my haircuts have come from salons and very few from barbershops. Either my girlfriends’ were cutting my hair themselves or sending me to an overpriced, chick place to have it done to me. It was this brainwashing that put me under the (wrong) impression that barbershops were for «old guys» with no specific style. On Point changed all that. Jimmy is a great guy with a good eye for what looks good. He loves to talk and will offer you a beer while he gets the deed done. He’s located in a great up and coming neighborhood so go check him out!

First time I’ve actually enjoyed going to get a haircut. Jimmy is a great person and a gifted barber. I’m actually less pessimistic about the human race because of this haircut.
Do yourself a favor and keep them lines sharp with On Point barbershop. I fully endorse this establishment. Thanks for keeping the hope alive!

Jimmy has been my barber for a while now. He has some of the best hands in the business and is one hell of cool ass dude to chop it up with. So if you like your fades fresh and clean. Hit up this shop!!!
