Consistently great haircuts from every barber who's cut my hair here. The wait can be loooooooong, but if you have errands to run nearby (or not that nearby, depending on the wait), it's worth it.
Here is how you are going to wait for your turn: in the mornings — get a coffee at The Cro and a donut at Doughnut Dolly and wait. Afternoons — if you are nice, you can have a shot of Bulleit and wait
Matt OpsahlMarch 26, 2013This place gives consistently snazzy cuts and the people the run this place are super friendly. They have expanded their square-footage and added 2 more chairs (from 3), with another on the way.
Brian StraussMay 22, 2018love this place, the cuts are great, and sometimes I have the two hours required to wait in line. If I don't that day, I book ahead with their sister place Al's in Alameda.
If you go to dickie, don't be alarmed when he whispers in your ear mid cut, "..... Is this how you like it", just calmly whisper back, "you know how I like it... Short on the sides long on the top"
Straight Razor Shave! If you haven't had one, do! Temescal Alley Barbers blends an old-school feel to getting a hair cut. Be prepared to sit and wait for about 45 minutes to get a spot
Alex DobyanDecember 17, 2017They did a great job - it's so gentrifier-friendly it hurts but I also was super satisfied with my cut so I'm down to recommend this place.
The wait can be long but they’re a friendly bunch and all of them give a good haircut.
Eric OliverDecember 10, 2012Great haircuts and a good vibe - the guys are friendly, funny, and always have a good story. Plus whiskey.
The most authentic and consistent barbershop. Everyone looks great with their haircut style.
Pro-tip - want a specific barber? Put their first initial next to your name and circle it.
Joe OrcuttNovember 2, 2013A lot of names on the list, but apparently they work thru them fast sense folks are roaming around and don't hear their names called.
Julio PalaciosJuly 2, 2013When one has to wait an hour and a half for a haircut, one should get a couple cold ones at The Avenue.
- So don't let Dickies name fool you... Good barber, terrible kisser
