BARBERSHOP 45 — Local services in Emeryville

Found Nae'b on instagram and liked her work. I've been looking for a new barber for my son and I liked her work. She is a really good barber and really did a great job on my son's head. Now here's my problem. She calls me like 5 mins before our appointment wanting to know was I still coming I said yes we are here she said well I'm getting some food I haven't eaten. Ok cool... so we wait. A women with a little boy in a barbershop full of men...awkward... So she comes in doesn't acknowledge us or anything doesn't say Mybad I'm running late she just goes straight to her chair back turned and eats her food. She finishes and I put my son (3 years old) in her chair. He's had his hair cut plenty of times and of course anyone who knows toddlers know they move a little bit. He isn't one of those full on act s fool in the chair type of kids. He moved a little while she was cutting his hair I could hear her tell him a couple times to sit still which is understandable. So about 30 mins yes 30 mins she finishes and I go over check his hair out I'm happy like I said she can cut hair. I also apologize for him moving telling her he's never really sat that long for a cut before that's when she says well he moved the whole time I cut his hair with an attitude and I'm like I watched you and he didn't move that much. Long story short don't cut kids hair if you can't put up with a little movement. Loved his haircut but she needs to work on her customer service oh and I tipped her $10 bucks on top of a $20 cut so yeah $30 for a child haircut and get an attitude in return. Won't be coming back to this...

With a career that involves a ton of moving I have run the gamut of barbers and I must admit that my current barber Jones destroys the competition. Jones takes care of his clients while on the chair. He does his best to meet your haircut requests and he has a diverse set of tools in his barber arsenal - tapers, line-ups, fresh shaves, etc. Beyond the haircut Jones is the homie. He is accommodating to appointment requests -this man once worked through the Superbowl! Talk about dedication to his craft! Give this man a chance and chances are you will be extremely satisfied.

For your reference: My usual haircut is comb-over, taper fade on the sides/back, slight trim on top with part, razor edge up...

I've been getting my haircut from Jones at Open Up Cutz for almost 3 years now. Over the past 3 years, Jones has never cancelled on my appointment, never had me wait more than 5 minutes for a cut, and has always been professional! Jones is extremely skilled at cutting hair! However, what differentiates Jones is his professionalism, and his ability to respect his customers time! Jones takes appointments only, and when he locks you in for a slot, rest assured that he'll follow through. I'd encourage you to book an appointment with Jones! Best barber in the Bay with professionalism and great time...
