Richies Barber Shop — Local services in Isla Vista

Kevin is THE MAN! I called at about 4:35 pm on a Saturday and he SUPER graciously let me bring my son in for a haircut at 5pm because he desperately needed one before picture day (Monday). When we got there I was super anxious and showed Kevin like 10 different reference photos that probably looked nothing alike. Anyways, Kevin totally understood the assignment!! My husband and I wanted different cuts for my son but most importantly my son really wanted a “design” on the side of his head. Kevin took all of the disorganized info that we gave him and whipped out the most incredible cut for my son! And of course he was able to give my son the lightening bolt he wanted on the side of his head that he really wanted as well. Kevin was 100% able to bring all of the ideas we had and wanted together and create such a fantastic and handsome cut for my son! I’m honestly so incredibly impressed by his work and I’m so grateful for him! If you need a haircut for your son, husband, grandpa, boyfriend, best friend, or even a random stranger, recommend them to go see Kevin at Richie’s Barber Shop in IV!!! We are all so impressed with the haircut we will 100% always head back to Kevin when we need any mens cuts in our family ! Pictures to follow because gotta show off that amazing work Kevin did! Thank you Kevin!!!...

Never had a haircut like this - SERIOUSLY!

Kevin absolutely kills it every time. He cuts my hair in such a way that when it grows back, it still looks amazing. It’s literally been over a month and I still don’t need another cut yet because it looks great. But I might just go get one today just to freshen it up! This dude is one of if not the best barber I have ever had the pleasure of going to. Do yourself a favor and come ask for Kev. The whole shop is amazing as a whole though and everyone is super chill. Going to miss this...

Honestly i thought this was a great barbershop but looks like customer service is at the bottom of the list here. Went with “DLO” a few times. seemed to be a cool dude but the attitude and the lack of caring for a customers needs is just disgusting. Tried to give this place a few chances but i’ve heard horror stories about some other barbers. “DLO” himself messed my line up twice and was told by another student he messed up his hair so bad dude had to wear a hat for...
