Ace of Fades

1 star for the overpriced mediocre taper I could cop at Supercuts b. it says $ 25 for a regular fade, I got a regular fade, then I ask the Asian dude wit the rat tail ‘it’s 25 right’ he’s like naw it’s 30. Ming mink meme whatever the fuck his name is, he couldn’t even get the words right to ‘This DJ’ by Warren G.

Rodney is the
he hooks my two boys up all the time he is very professional and if you have an appointment with him he will have his chair ready for you when you arrive I appreciate his professionalism and my boys always leave looking fresh.

I get my haircut with Silv and she is excellent. I have had issues in the past finding someone who can cut my hair well and she gets it right everytime. I’ve been going for about a year now and no complaints. It is also about a 10 minute walk from the Bart which makes it easy for me to get to.

Whack, Half the time they’re not open the other half the time there’s an hour or so wait. Which wouldn’t be so bad if they tell you that on the phone when you precall but they won’t unless you specifically ask female who answers is ratchet as hell too, it’s customer service, you don’t have to learn etiquette but at least learn some manners

I’ve been searching FORevah for a good barber in SF who could do black hair, in shop that wasn’t gross and at least marginally respectful that there’s a woman in the chair. I had given up but decided I’d give it one more try. I’m so happy I did!
I found Rodney on instagram. His pictures were nice and I liked one cut, in particular, so I signed up for an appointment (online!). I arrived at my scheduled time and he took me right away. He was personable, professional, really attentive to what I wanted and responsive. He told me several times not to be afraid to tell him what I wanted because customer service was extremely important to him. And it really showed. He gave me a great cut, just the way I wanted (with suggestions from him). OK, the shop isn’t a spa, but it was nice enough. The other barbers greeted me when I came in, I didn’t smell any substances, and I don’t know if this was out of respect for me, but Rodney didn’t curse one time. Extremely refreshing.
So if you’re looking for a great barber cut by a real professional, go see Rodney at Ace of Fades. I know I will certainly be back!

8 years loyal here! Justin takes his time with your hair and really takes pride in every cut he does! Really Dope Place to get cut!

Ace of fades cuts my sons hair. I pick any barber but lately Minh has been cutting my son’s hair and it looks great. They all have the skills to get your hair right. They also don’t waste anytime. IN and out in about 20 min. PS make an appointment because this place is really crackin. They got TV and cool shop vibe. Keep up da good work guys.

Pretty nice looking barber shop compared to other ones around the neighborhood. Got my haircut with Silv through a walk in and it was great! She was very friendly and I had a good experience and haircut. Prices here are pretty fair for the quality. Cash only! Also nice to have a big TV to watch there while waiting or getting a cut.

my man justin is off the hook, ive been getting cut from him for a dam near 7 – 8 years. He answers my text, he takes me in as soon as he can, and he takes care of me every single time. He’s now cutting my kid and he does a great job with kids. The kid wasnt too fond of getting a cut in the beginning, but justin was nice, took care of him and when he looked in the mirror he was happy cause he didnt look like a mess anymore. Now the kid is asking for uncle justin, and wants a cut everytime i do! Keep it up J!

Been going here for about year then all a sudden I can’t never get an appointment without a weeks notice — last appointment I had I ended up waiting 30 min cuz dude was hooking his boy who didn’t pay in $ and insisted on taking a smoke break Galway thru his fade– anyways guy told me 35 for a fade when I was done– normally I did 25, I paid and didn’t leave a tip as didn’t do my facial hair and wait + price jump…

I’ve known Ant for many years. The guys here are awesome. They know exactly what they are doing. Mikey is great with my sons hair and cut him up just the way he likes it. The atmosphere is chill and Jacob is funny. The location is where I grew up and is very easy to find. I highly recommend this place.

I always come here and get a hair cut by Minh his is consistent and never takes long on hair cuts.

I took my son here thanks to Unilocal,and he was taken right away with no wait. Min did a great job… clean lines… best hair cut my son has had for a long time… definitely returning…

Amazing barbers! Parking can be a bitch but, that one negative factor cannot justify and equate to the quality of haircut and the superb customer service these barbers provide. They show movies, tv shows and play original mixes by Ant, mainstream hiphop and at times that hyphy bay area music that goes! Besides having awesome entertainment, the barbers themselves could be entertaining as they joke with each other from time to time.
The place can get packed and the barbers tend to get super busy, I would suggest to call ahead of time and make an appointment. You are considered lucky if you find a spot for a walk-​in.
Definitely give Justin a call if not, any of the barbers will give you that fresh, suave, and dapper hair cut! You won’t be disappointed.

Mike is the man! But they are all good barbers!

This is where I get my bi-​weekly haircuts from my boy Justin, started coming here 2 years ago and haven’t had a problem since. A bit on the pricey end for a hair cut but its a fresh cut everything. Cash only but they have an ATM inside, and parking is absolutely horrible but it all works out in the end.

RIP OFF!
I’ve gotten my hair cut here 4 times — the first two times one of the Asian guys (Jason?) gave me a #1 buzz and it was only $ 7. The last two times there was a new black guy cutting hair and he seems to make up his own prices — $ 10 one time and then the next time he wanted $ 17. When I asked him why it was so expensive he said they raised the rates — I call bullshit and think he was trying to rip me off and pocket the extra money.
Not going back here again — I can get the same haircut anywhere else for $ 10

Ace of fades is the place for you, IF you know one of then personally OR have all the time in the world. I have given them 3 separate chances and all have been bad experiences. I arrived 15 even 30 minutes early to my appointments and still ended getting my haircut a whole HOUR AFTER MY APPOINTMENT TIME!
Where they went wrong in my book is even though I waited for my turn, a «buddy» will call and say they are coming in at the last minute, so instead of sticking to their appointments, they literally sit in the chair and play around with their phone until their «buddy» (or whoever called) comes in and gets their cut immediately. 3 times I have come in with a pre day made appointment and all 3 times has this situation happened.
Not to mention among their conversation with friends or other co workers, curse words (specifically Ni**er) is thrown around so casually, even in front of my 10 year old nephew!
After tipping one guy $ 2 for poor service, he got mad and was quick to hurry me out all while mentioning what a «cheap a**» I was. I would have tipped him well had he stuck to the schedule and not cursed in front of my nephew.
So like I said, unless you’re a personal friend of theirs, you have no reason to give them service. The barber shop across the street (Off Tops Barber Shop) seems more promising.

Came in here the other day for my first time. After looking for a barber shop on Unilocal,I noticed one of my boys had wrote a review for this place. So I thought I would give it a try.
The place itself is cool… Theres murals of San Fran on the wall. Flatscreen TV for entertainment. And the chairs are hella comfortable!
As far as the haircut I wont lie, I was impressed.
I got my hair cut by Jason. And I suggest you do too.
I came in there with some long ass hair that hadnt been cut in months and was kinda worried that he would have a hard time making it look clean. But he gave me a literally FLAWLESS taper. I can tell he really pays attention to detail.
5 Stars all the way!

This place is clean but parking is hideous. So have your goodluck charm in hand.
Well if you’re looking to schedule for a clean cut ask to schedule with Jason and you’re set!
