This is actually the first bad review I’ve given, but that’s how bad these guys are. I’ve gotten my hair cut here for almost a year now and I always thought these guys were just naturally rude, but at least still cared about their customers. Boy was I wrong.
These guys close at 5:45 (not 6), so that they can go home at 6. I got here at 5:10 on the dot after work and upon walking in, they were yelling at a guy to get out. First red flag. But the customer could’ve just been a jerk.
I was slightly excited though because no one was waiting, which meant I would have been next! But before I took a seat, two guys yelled at the same time, «WE’RE CLOSED!» I actually flinched a bit because it was so loud. Second red flag.
I then brought up their sign and how they still had 35 min to go till closing and that my haircut would be pretty quick. Then I hear one guy say, «I’m tired man.» SERIOUSLY!!! How many times have I been at work tired and just wanted to go home?! If you say you’ll be open until a certain time, that’s a promise to your customers! THEN, I get a sarcastic response from another guy, «are you get a 0 all around, cuz that’s quick haha.» What the heck. Really. That’s when red flag #3 convinced me to never come back here again. Someone wrote here about customer service and being treated like crap, boy they weren’t kidding. There are plenty of great and cheap barbers in SF, go somewhere else.

I roll by here once every month or two and normally get my hair cut by Francisco so this review will be based on his haircuts.
The wait times can be a little long but it is worth it. Francisco’s attention to detail is amazing and I have never walked out feeling disappointed or unhappy with my cut. He’s also super friendly and for the price, the quality of work is great ($ 15 compared to $ 30 at some other spots).
The shop is also pretty clean when I go in and definitely has that classic barbershop vibe.
I don’t know about the other barbers but I don’t agree with some of the negative reviews about Francisco. Just be friendly and you’ll get the same in return.

The first time I went here I got something simple — 8 top and 4 sides. It was pretty good since my coworkers complimented how sharp I looked! Now fast forward 4 months when I am in need of a hair cut. Thinking that I could replicate my previous results, I walked in and asked for 8 top and 4 sides. I ended up bald because the barber didn’t pay attention to my order. Now my friends and coworkers call me baldy…
I’m never coming back to this place again. It’s not worth the risk of humiliating yourself for the occasional good hair cut. If you do decide to come here, make sure you repeat yourself and that they know what you want because they won’t double check with you.

The older barber is probably one of the worst I’ve ever had. He was rude to the extent that whenever I felt he was doing something he shouldn’t he would get in a bad mood. All in all he gave me a horrible haircut and left some parts uneven and I noticed this once I got home. He couldn’t even buzz off the guys hair that was before me correctly because the guy asked for a touch up right before the barber was about to do my hair. Never again.

If you are a male looking for a solid haircut, nothing fancy, this is your place. For 15.00 you get a clean cut. Very precise and clean, they also do straight razor shaves for an additional fee. They are very fast, usually done within 10 – 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place if you are trying to get a nice haircut but not break the bank

I’ve never given a bad Unilocal review and this will be my first. First off, as someone who runs a small business and is a service provider myself, I appreciate the time anyone takes to walk through our doors for any reason.
I wasted two hours of my time. Walked in and there were four people ahead of me. Instead of letting us know it was going to be a few minutes or making an effort to get the haircuts done one barber actually took off and the other one walked in and took another twenty minutes to get to his chair. No one wanted to get their hair cut by that barber so I damn sure wasn’t going to. After an hour wait and not a word to me and still waiting with two people ahead of me, it looked like I would either have to get my haircut by the barber no one wanted or wait for who knows how long (the other barber people were waiting for was still not back).
I’ll never go back and I’ll related experience to anyone who asks me about a barber shop. If you provide a service you should appreciate your customers and respect their time. These dudes don’t do either.

Been coming here for well over a year and I finally realized these guys really don’t care about their customers. If you care about how you look, go some where else because they don’t.
This place deserves no stars for the way I was talked to yesterday. The owner and his brother are simply burnt out. This comes across in the poor and dilapidated upkeep, smell of cigarettes from being smoked in the back and the overall monotone demeanor that is screaming «I hate my life!»
I’m actually glad these guys disrespected me because I feel like I have opened my eyes. I deserve better and other people in the world do too.
Don’t go to Dicks unless you like being treated like a Dick…

I once gave these guys a 4 – 5 star review but I have since changed my mind. These Gus can give two shits about your hair. All they care about is their lunch breaks and smokin cigarettes in the back. I’m so disappointed. They will tell you to come back if they don’t feel like taking you only to have the next guy tell you the exact thing.
Don’t wait. Don’t come back. These guys are burnt out, careless and callus assholes.
Save your 15 $ for someone who likes what they do (or some cologne because your gonna smell like an old persons home and an ash tray by the time you get out of there)

Went in here today for the first time and when I walk I. There is 3 barbers then I notice more in the back room. So it gets to a point where there is only one chair in use and the other barbers are just hanging out in the back room and there is 5 customers waiting. The haircut was alright. Most of the time the barbers a speaking who knows what language. Overall I had to wait 1 hour. If all of there were working it would of been 30 minutes tops.

Not a review. CLOSES AT 4 on Monday. 4. Ie if they see you outside at 4:02 they aren’t letting you in.

While they cut your hair disconcertingly fast (5 – 15 minutes), they’ll line you up well, they can handle a fade, they’ve got plenty of 10 year old playboys, they’ve got the requisite hot oil and you get a weird massage after every haircut. At 13 dollars, I’m not sure what more you could ask for.
A word to the wise though: be reallllly specific about your cut. If you explain yourself, they can do it. Language can be a slight barrier.

This place is good if you don’t mind getting a simple, easy cut that looks like every other cut they give. Don’t think you can give them specific instructions on what YOU would like-​not gonna happen. Price is right but you get what you pay for — doesn’t grow out nicely either. Older farts working there can be rude too.

Extremely RUDE and unprofessional.
I called at 3:30, they told me they will close at 5:30PM, got there exactly at 4:30PM and one of the guys told me to get out cause it was already closed. Extremely bad customer service, would NEVER recommend this place AT ALL

13 bucks for a haircut?
Dont be hating ladies… it aint the same. Yep this is no highfalutin day spa or hair salon.
Dicks is the classic barbershop. Nothing but barber chairs, waiting seats, and the last two years of maxim mags.
It is great that you can just drop in but be aware that you are playing Russian roulette with your hair… my last barber was perhaps the laziest dude I have ever had here… cut my hair in 15 minutes never even had me look at it… dude hope you dont mind the tiny tip.
Never the less for 13 bucks and really convenient parking you can not beat it!

The biggest thing to me about any barber shop is the haircut. I got a pretty good haircut. The biggest issue is that it shows off my widows peaks slightly more than I’d like.
The price is great; $ 13!
Sure, maybe it would have been perfect if I’d described exactly what I wanted in high detail. But I also don’t think customers should be required to know all of the terminology and how to describe it. As a barber you should be pretty familiar with hiding bald spots, though.
The service is also meh. I arrived at 11:45 and had to wait in line for 30min, not too bad. But, once you’re in the chair, it’s definitely not a place where they work on it, let you look, then work on it again. That’s usually been my experience; most barbers seem to polish at least a couple areas to perfection after getting your feedback. here, you just tell him in the beginning and he goes for it until he’s finished. Hope you like what you got.
Haircut was quick, too, which was nice. No doubt it’s one of the best non-​scissor cuts I’ve gotten, although I usually request scissor. No need to here, though, probably; these guys seem to know what they’re doing.
Would I come back? If I try the other barbers in the area and they aren’t any better. Decently good, just not astonishing. Solid 3.

Best traditional barbershop in San Francisco!
Awesome service, staff speaks Tagalog and English, sarcasm is a given.
You even get a brief massage after your hair gets styled. :)

Like everyone else said, it is a no-​nonsense men’s haircut spot.
I have been to many other places:
–The Cutlery ($ 50)
–1512 Barbershop ($ 35, and usually booked 2 – 3 weeks out)
–Sunset Barber ($ 18, and the guy’s dad sucks at cutting hair)
–Westside Cuts ($ 20, and they usually have a really long wait and can’t really scissor cut)
Here, they charge $ 13 for a haircut and they can fade and scissor cut. I haven’t gotten a pure scissor cut, but I’ve been getting a 1 to 2 fade on the sides with a scissor cut on the top and it’s come out solid. In fact, these guys are the only ones (besides 1512) to cut my hair without spraying it (I have pretty curly hair) with water. You’re supposed to cut hair dry, which surprisingly not many barbers know.
I am very pleased with the quality of haircuts here and will pretty much exclusively come here from now on.
