Happy Barber — Attraction in San Diego

My review was for a single barber, so other barbers might be OK.

My haircut was extremely rushed (15 minutes) and looked nothing like what I asked for. I provided photo reference of a mid-fade and asked for longer on top with some texture/thinning. My barber said "that's all styling; you can do that at home". That should've been a red flag, but I was in a rush.

I have been going here since it was called "The Haircutters". Since I was afraid to get my haircut. I appreciate this place very much and the service provided is top notch! I'm always greeted when I walk in the door and thanked for my patronage on the way out. They have me looking GREAT for those dinner dates with The Queen.

Update: the Queen gave me a photo of the haircut she wanted for her son and they NAILED it! Bonus points for me.

Update 2: This place becomes like family after you come here long enough...Even when I come in without my son, they're always asking about "the little boy". Cant see myself going...
