Clairemont Village Barber Shop

I would give them no stars at all. It’s been the worst experience I’ve ever had.
Once I got there, old man started cutting my hair, in a few minutes I found out that he’s messing with my hair, he couldn’t even speak English! So, I asked him to leave my hair, so then his wife came and I started doing the hair cut, she was worst than her husband. However, I found out later that they were customers as me and they’re cousins of the owner!
Nevertheless, the owner came and she was mean, non of them even say sorry! The owner said we will not do your hair cut, go to another place!
I was disappointed and speechless, I put $ 15 on the table and lift ‘em.
It hurts me, how nasty and mean they were.

Good hair cut at a reasonable price

I used to think Clairemont Village Barber Shop was worth 3 or 4 stars but that was before my most recent experience.
My barber spent the entire cut on the phone with his girlfriend or wife arguing about their credit card bill. This wasn’t a regular spousal disagreement. This was a cursing match. It was extremely awkward and disconcerting hearing my barber yell all types of obscenities into the phone with a pair of clippers in his hands.
I don’t know whether he was completely distracted or just didn’t care but I did not get the cut I was asking for. And this is the same barber who had cut my hair 5 times in the past, the EXACT same way every time. I like to keep my bangs a little long so I can run a comb through them, however when I was done with my cut I was almost bald! I could have just shaved my own head and saved myself the money. How could a professional barber not know how to do a fade?! It’s not a fade if there is nothing left on top!
I have had reservations about this place in the past. While the cuts were decent, I always felt like they were annoyed with my requests and didn’t make me feel welcome or comfortable. I will be finding a new barber shop to go to from now on.

This is a great little neighborhood barber. I love being able to walk here and knock out a solid haircut without having some woman asking me how my week was and what my salary is. The only downside to this little shop is they only take cash. I don’t find this inconvenient since I can walk into Keil’s and get some cash back after buying a drink or something. I warn you though. If you ask for a little bit off the top they take more than a little bit. you’re going to have to show them exactly how much you want off. If you’re in the area and need a haircut I recommend coming here.

Solid. If you’re the type of guy that views getting haircuts as a chore, this is the place for you. The guy actually does a very good job, takes care in cutting hair. Best of all… NINE BUCKS. Great for broke students.
One note: he makes no attempt to engage in small talk. I’m not complaining, but I found it a bit odd.

It’s a nice little shop. Been using it since I moved in the area and I haven’t had any problems. The price is $ 9 but it seems if your repeat business they charge a little less. Overall nice people, clean place, a good local business to support

Nice place, cheap, and understands what you want with your hair.
However, not all of the barbers there do a great job in my opinion. I’ve been coming to this place for 1 year now and everytime I went there, the asian lady would always take care of me. My hair type is dry so its really hard dealing with it, but she actually did a great job. I usually do different heights to my hair (6 on the top, 2 on the side, and 1 near the ear) and I fade between every interface :). The lady actually always did great and I liked that place ever since.
The last hair cut I had in this place was terrible! Why? Because the Asian gentleman cut my hair. I told him my instructions and he even repeated them to me. I told him 6,2,1 as I usually want my hair to be. He seemed to understand what I’m saying. Yet, he actually did a 2,2,2 on my hair. He ruined it unfortunately! I felt like going home and screaming or something.
Next time I’m going there, I will specifically ask for this lady to cut my hair instead of the gentleman.
Overall it’s a great place for $ 9 only! Pretty cool.

Good, solid barber. Cheap. Cash only. Nothing fancy, just get your hair sorted out every now and again. And as another reviewer said, they don’t try to talk your ear off. I’ve never had to wait.
Walk in. Sit down. Tell ‘em what I want. They do it. Give ‘em $ 10. Leave. Awesome.

I’ve been getting my hair cut at this place for a couple years. After trying all of the barbers, Vincent gives me the best haircut and tells the best stories.
For less than $ 10, this place is a bargain. Not a fancy place and somewhat hard to find. Parking is easy and there is a grocery store next door so you can pickup a few things before you head home.

Apparently my usual stylist no longer works at a different place I frequented before, and their receptionist wasn’t at liberty to give out her follow up details T_​T.
This hidden strip mall barber shop was an impromptu find and looked about as no-​frills as can be. I chatted for a bit with the barber and gave instructions on my cut. Not much on conversation, but efficient with the clippers as I remembered that he never used scissors at any time.
I’m not sure if removing my eyeglasses was good or bad because I wasn’t able to see the how the haircut progressed as I sat in the chair in front of the wall mirror. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough because I thought I said to take an inch off the top, but when he was done I’m pretty sure he left an inch up top. Even though I felt like a freshly buzzed Monchichi, it wasn’t as bad as I though.
The folks at Clairemont Village Barber Shop are friendly, personable, and the prices are competitive. It’s cash only and a la carte. If you want a basic $ 9 haircut, then that’s what you’ll get. No shampoo included because that’s another $ 5. But if you don’t want a buzzcut, then speak up and be very specific.
I’ve shed my winter coat, and I’m ready for warmer weather with this streamlined ‘do. Now it’s time to kick some butt.

I’ve been going here for about a year now. The price is right, 9 or 10 bucks. They do a pretty decent job, but I’m not real picky; usually shave the sides and fade into the top.
I love that they don’t talk your ear off and or try and up-​sell you on a bunch of hair products, my biggest complaint with most hair places.
There really nothing I don’t like about this spot, but short of having all you can drink free beer, I can’t imagine giving 5 stars to any hair place. So, yes, I would recommend it.

Holy crap. Today I got one of the worst haircuts ever. Thank god I work a blue-​collar job in a factory so I get to wear hats. I usually go to «Happy Cut» around the corner, but they were closed unexpectadly. I always try to support my local neighborhood businesses so I went to the barbershop at the other end of the strip mall. That was a big F – in’ mistake.
First off, I’m very particular about who cuts my hair. In other words, since I’m Asian, I have to have asian people cut my hair. Asians just have weird straight hair, so only Asians really know how to cut that shit.
I was a little relieved when I walked in the barber shop to find an Asian guy cutting hair in a very clean shop. Very old school place. For men only. It even had one of the spiral red-​white-​blue things out front that old-​school barber shops have. There was even a poster with a bunch of pictures of men’s hairstyles. If you didn’t know how to explain what you want, all you had to do was point to the pictures and the number. Pretty simple right? Not for me.
So, i tell the guy. ¼″ — ½″ off the top. #3 on the sides, blended. He repeated my instructions. My hair was a couple inches long. I had been growing it out for awhile just to see how I would look. Well, the guy whipped out a industrial-​style Flo-​Bee and just shredded my hair to shit. I told the guy, don’t cut any shorter, it’s already too short! He almost looked offended and continued to cut. To make a long-​story short (starting to get angry just typing this), I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you’re in the military or just don’t give a fuck what you look like. Maybe I should have used the poster-​guide. Damn!
