Xavier’s Barber and Styling Salon

Nice guy but like other reviews have stated… well, let’s just say that if you’re a young 40-​something or younger — he’s good for really short hair cut and a little fading. Don’t go here looking for a «styling session.» It’s a BARBER shop. I went home and had to fix some uneven areas myself. Good place to take the little kiddos, though (boys only unless you have girls who like crew cuts??). Cheers.

He might have been good back in the day (waaaay back), but He just needs to retire, clean place, I actually enjoyed the music playing in the background, but that’s about it. I came in for a shave, some basic beard design, but in the end it was a complete disaster, uneven shave, poor service. Not recommended. Don’t even think about it, I’m warning you!!!

I had an ok experience. Mr Xavier is a nice guy, very quiet though. I think he’s kind of an old time barber, too set in his ways.
The reason why I say this is because I had recently went in for a haircut an asked for a trim and a fade. His fade was uneven in spots, and I saw them when I went closer to the mirror after he was done. I asked him to go over those same parts just so they would be more even. I got kind of a «why-​are-​you-​telling-​me-​how-​to-​do-​my-​job» response, when I very politely asked him just to even it out.
Anyway, I returned several times, because it was relatively cheap and close to my house. I got the same results, and the same attitude.
The owner is a nice guy, and I gave him some stars because of the price and the convenience, but this barbershop wouldn’t be a place that I would recommend to my friends.

Xavier is a very skilled barber. I went there today for my first time and I will definitely be going back. He’s very professional and has a very welcoming personality. I asked him how long he’s been in the business and I was both shocked and glad that he’s been cutting hair for 53 years! Young and old, there’s no hairstyle he cannot do.

Outstanding old-​school barber shop. Owner knows his job very well. Best shave in Elk Grove!
