Colin has been my Barber for over a year and it’s easy to say he is the best barber in San Francisco. I have very difficult hair and I’m very picky with it. He’s given me multiple different styles and all he’s achieved exactly to my needs. He’s not afraid to recommend things And put his own spin on the Haircut. He is pricey and at first I was hesitant but after the first haircut, I realize what I was paying for I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Barber.

From the moment I walked into the salon, I felt comfortable. It has a cool, artistic vibe. And Emiliano is just the best! He's warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to really understand my hair (curly hair, which can be tricky!), showed me examples of his work, and was so attentive to my feedback. He made sure I loved the result, and I do! It's the best haircut I've had in a long time. I can't recommend Emiliano enough!

Just had an amazing haircut with Emiliano and I couldn’t be happier! He did a fantastic job – super professional, precise, and really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. He caters to all needs and makes sure you leave feeling your best.
On top of that, the chat was great – friendly, fun, and made the whole experience even better. What's really cool is that he got me a few beers too! You can even choose whiskey but I took it slow.

Highly recommend Emiliano if you’re looking for top-notch skills and a genuinely enjoyable appointment. Will definitely be back!

Jonny has been my go-to hairdresser/ barber for over three years, and I've never been disappointed. His attention to detail is impressive and I’ve always liked how he’s not afraid to suggest new looks/ hairstyles!

But what truly sets Jonny apart is his exceptional service and dedication to building personal relationships with his clients. When I got married, Jonny went above and beyond by styling my hair on the morning of my civil marriage ceremony and finding me a reliable barbershop in Beirut for my wedding.

I'm delighted to see Jonny take the next step with his new barbershop, Hairchitect. The shop has a fantastic atmosphere, and his team provides the same level of excellence that Jonny has always delivered. If you're looking for a top-notch barbershop experience, look no further than Jonny and his team.

I’d recommend treating yourself to a haircut and a shave (and a beer)!
