Black Mountain Barber Shop

What is there not to like about this place. Quick, friendly and inexpensive. I have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes at this place.
My hair is simple, 2 on the side and back, hand trimmed on top. Clean up around the ears, and tapered. It doesn’t even need any Gel (though they do offer)
My son hates the place, but that’s because he hates barbers. But he chooses to go here, because they are quick and painfree.

Not sure how hectic it gets when packed, but I came in around 4pm on a Tuesday when they had a few people waiting. They called me up almost immediately and completed my buzz cut in less than 10 minutes. A plus was that no hairs where sticking out like I’ve had at other barber shops. There was a slight unevenness on a small part of my hair though but not significant. None of those conversations that salon people tend to initiate, which was another plus for me. All-​in-​all, will definitely be coming back for a quick and relatively cheap cut.

This awsemoe

Great value, even at $ 9. Went on Sunday at 2 and no wait. John was fast and detailed!

This is my weekly barber spot since its walking distance to my house. Even when it’s packed you’re not waiting for very long. $ 9 for a skin fade, and haven’t gotten a bad cut from anyone of the barbers in there.

Great barber shop! I’ve been going here for the last three years. Before that, I would hop from barber shop to barber shop trying to find a place that cuts my hair just the way I like it.
Low prices with plenty of good barbers. My go to barber here is John, he’s the last barber at the chair closest to the bathroom. Hooks it up with the fades and gets my haircut right every time. I’ve come in a few times when he wasn’t working and tried my luck with a couple other barbers and each time the results have been just as good.
This place does get busy on weekends but there’s usually a barber at every chair so the wait isn’t too bad!

My brother has always been a frequent at this barber shop, and my boyfriend recently came here too.
It’s interesting to see a price change from $ 7 to now $ 9…guess that’s what happens when you have publicity word of mouth!
Pros:
–quick! I love how they seat you down quickly. (Or maybe we just have good timing)
–friendly! All the staff members are super nice and if you talk to them, they try their best to smile.
–good listener! They actually listen to what kind of hair you want.
Cons:
–after getting a haircut, guys usually like to wash their hair, but this place only gels it for you.
Overall, coming here for sure!

I have been getting my haircut since the place has opened and I will not get my haircut anywhere else. Fair prices, great barbers, and clean. This place does get busy so call ahead and ask how long the wait is.

Update. I’ve come here twice since my last review. They’ve made a lot of improvements. At least that is the case with the barber that cut my hair these last two times. I’m still loyal and coming to this place. So I’m glad they addressed these issues.

I usually come here after work on weekdays and they get you in without an appointment necessary. Come at the wrong time and you have to wait quite a bit

Great place, fast, nice staff, took me immediately on arriving, even on a Saturday. Lots of chairs available.

I am a former Marine and am used to places like this. Cheap, fast, and no one speaks English. But, does their language really matter? Nope… it’s a haircut, get over yourself.
I am picky, but after a few cuts here I’m satisfied enough to keep going. I used to go to the fancy shops, but there are none up here in Mira Mesa. They also have a ton of barbers, and even though I go on Sundays around lunch time, I have never actually had to sit down and wait. They pump people out like crazy, and still do a good job. I’ve had 4 of the barbers by now and each one has been good.
If the price was any higher, I’d give them 4-​stars, but for how cheap and fast they always are, 5-​stars.

This is my husband’s go to place for haircuts! Fast, friendly, good haircuts and affordable. We come here every Sunday.

Finally got a chance to get my hair cut here. Two buddies are regulars here and recommended this place but every time i stop at some of the other establishments i take a peek and its packed. today was light as you would expect on a Monday at 3:20pm. walked in and the lady in the second chair took me immediately. i told her i want a medium fade, almost regulation! she told me don’t worry i make you look good… okay! she winded up going 2 down, 6 topside with a mild taper on the neck. It looks clean and done right. nice and very even all the way around and she was fast! definitely going back this may be my new spot since my old place next to LL hawaiian bbq in the mira mesa mall just sucks now. seems that the lady in the first chair when you walk in is in high demand. one guy was waiting on her when i got there and 2 others came in said hello to her and said they would wait. give them a shot i left with a good impression but my cut is simple if done right. oh yeah last thing its cash only!

I go here on lunch sometimes for a quick cut. i even have some of the guys I work with trying it out after seeing my hair in a reasonable state, which is unusual for me. I really like Moon, she does a good job trimming my beard (taught me some tricks!) and she’s cute!
The Good: Cheap ($ 8 for my hair, $ 6 for my beard), fast, and there is usually an open chair.
The Bad: Don’t expect a shampoo or anything fancy. «The View» is always on the TVs.
The Ugly: I saw a 90+ year old dude here getting the wisps of hair he had left trimmed. It was weird and made me ponder my own existence.
I like this barber shop and it’s my go too. Maybe next time I’ll muster the courage to finally ask Moon out… :)

This is meant to be an average rating. If you don’t speak Vietnamese, be prepared to either have a photo of the haircut you want, or do some charades.
The cuts are pretty good, fast and cheap. If all you need is a simple buzz cut (military style), this is definitely a good place to go.
Nothing fancy, including the prices. Service is usually fast and friendly. I come here often, and they are pretty consistent.
