Thousand Oaks Barber Shop

Bring my boys here and finally got my husband to come. Said he’s never had a better haircut. My boys have been with all the barbers here and always leave with a good cut. My husband swears by Marilyn.

Rushed haircut, my head was burning due to how agressive the lady was with the clippers, place isn’t very clean at all. I would not recommend nor return for a haircut here.

I usually go to Sport Clips or Diesel but I’m quickly discovering that these chain and franchised barbershops don’t cut ethnic hair well. The barbers don’t know what a taper fade is and they don’t know how to cleanly edge up either so I end up with lopsided or otherwise noticeably defunct edge-​ups. This was my first visit and Nini was my barber. She did a great job not only cutting my hair but edging it up. I knew I was in good hands when she went to edge it up and she didn’t ask if I wanted a clipper edge up or a razor she went right for the razor (a good sign in my book)! The price for a cut was incredibly cheaper than both Sport Clips and Diesel as well so I tipped the difference as a kudos to Nini!
I didn’t know who Marilyn was until I started to read the reviews on here, but she was present on my visit as well. As others have stated she is a talker, but she is a breath of positivity and means well and tries to create a light, energetic and funny mood in her shop so you can’t blame her for that. The world needs more people like her, in my opinion.

This is my 7^th time here and I’ll always return because of the owner, Marilyn. She’s very welcoming and treats all her customers with respect. She an enthusiastic woman who always gives the greeting of the day. For instance, whenever a customer comes in she says «howdy» and asks «how’s their day been going» with a nice simile on her face. I just want to point out that it’s business owners like Marilyn who gives back to the community whether it’s by employing young adults or giving life experience advice to the many customers in and out her shop. Moreover, Marilyn has a great customer satisfaction philosophy which is greet all your customers, get to know them, make them feel welcomed, smile, and show them you care. Lastly, she’s awesome with kids and family members you bring in the shop. For example, I brought my kids over and she let them play with toys, ensures the TV shows are not playing crazy explicit videos, and serves chips and drinks for free 99, lol! She performs awesome bald skin fades in me and great cuts for children too! I definitely recommend Marilyn and her new crew of barbers

Good cuts, but can take a while. I sometimes take my son here. The waiting list is not always followed. Marilyn, the owner, is the best there. Other than that you’re taking a chance. Most of the barbers can only cut on way and there is usually a high turnover.

I do recommend Des Moises Carter to cut your hair.
My only hang up is Marylin. She won’t shut the F%$ up. She blabs and blabs the whole time. Very annoying person.
Place needs a good cleaning. All the stations are dirty.

Update: Will never go there again based on my last experience. Just awful.
Great prices and great people.
I enjoyed my haircut, massage, and hot towel. I was not rushed and felt rejuvenated after my cut. The owner says to everyone on their way out, «Have the best day ever» which is awesome!
I have had much worse cuts for much more money, so I felt a nice tip was well deserved.
I will be a returning customer.

Marylin the owner and person who gave me my haircut is absolutely the best. She’s awesome. She gave me and my wife a hug as soon as we walked in. First time coming here and I’m completely sold. This place is Old School. Hot foam, straight razor, massage, etc… The best haircut experience period. She is the real deal.

Great cut, great people, Rick is a wiz with flat tops…

Visited Thousand Oaks Barber Shop for the first time today and was thoroughly impressed. I have very little hair and typically go to one of the chains to get my head cleaned up every two weeks or so. Dez at Thousand Oaks used a special clipper to simulate a razor shave, and it took about half the time. Plus, the bill was only $ 12! With tip that’s still cheaper than SuperCuts or any of the other chains. I’ll be back.

First let me say they’re pretty expensive. If you don’t mind paying a little extra it’s a nice place to get a haircut and a shave. They are very nice and professional and the haircut was excellent, while it was my first time ever having someone shave my face, it was a pleasant experience. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends that want to get a nice haircut and a shave.

Great shop. Marilyn will take good care of you

Really good cut, really great service, and a clean, large waiting area with a water cooler and choke magazines, but a really far drive. I think we’d go more often if it was closer.

Marilyn is great, hubby had been looking for a long time for a barber, that does it all, all facial hair, great shave hot towel and all and mini massage, for a great price. You guys will love it.

Friendly, affordable. decent haircut. Takes the time to get it right. Beats the hell outta going to a chain. The guy that works here has good stories and tidbits of helpful advice such as «don’t go out with the pot-​head girls… all they want is your money». Truer words have never been spoken…

Great cut… Amazing Price… Crazy Owner!
Upon first entrance-​Imagine a cleaner barber shop from the south-​side making its way on to thousand oaks and thousand oaks barber shop is what you get.
Wait– put you name on a waiting list and sit down in a plastic chair and enjoy reads from a selection of car & driver, maxim, Texas fishing, and the news paper… very guy oriented.
The Cut– Marilyn is a bag of crazy, fun and warm-​warmheartedness! She will continue to talk until she is blue in the face, sing you a couple of songs, make you question her ability to give a decent cut as she tells you stories of bad encounters when her razor meets the ears! But she has been practicing since 1982 and the end result shows it, along with a good cut you get heated foam razor outline, warm towel cleaning, eyebrow trim, nose hair trim, ear trim, massage, facial product, hair washed and styled and all for $ 10!
Overall– If you are on a budget, dont mind crazy, enjoy being pampered (but with a rush) then this is the place for you. I prefer going to my regular stylist who gives a better cut in half the time and just focuses on hair wash with head & scalp massage, amazing cut, post wash and style. She might be a little more pricey but you get the quality that you pay for. So I would recommend going to see Maria Haq @ Treus Dell Salon and Spa on Huebner 210– 365‑6791 for a great cut at a great price… and tell her I sent you ;)
