Walked in after seeing the sign for mens cuts while riding the N Judah. Got one of the cleanest hair cuts I've had in less than 15 minutes. Have gone back several times and the consistency is great. Glad I found my haircut place in the Sunset.

My 2 yr old's first and second haircut were here. She was literally so fast and efficient that he didn't have time to worry or care. She gave him a lollipop to hold during the cut and it looked great! Highly highly recommend for baby toddler cuts.
Apryl Viada
Insane efficiency; 10 minutes in and out. No chit-chat; she just cuts your hair. Incredible value. If you object to half-hour haircuts costing $60, this is your spot.

I was looking for a simple haircut. My hair was getting long and I got 6 inches off. The hair dresser was super nice. I am not a huge talker and she was very respectful. It came out great and was exactly what I was looking for.

This is cheap, fast and best. Have been coming here for the past 4 years, highly affordable and the aunty is very sweet.

Been coming here a few times now. I have a simple haircut that is short on the sides tapered to the top. The hairdresser is very nice and fast. Would keep coming here again.
