Public Barber Salon in San Francisco, CA

I have never, ever had a bad experience here. I came in all wishy washy about what I wanted from my really long and super thick hair. Danielle figured everything out and gave me the shag haircut of my dreams, dealing with my cowlick and all. I lived in NYC and LA and haircuts like these cost 3X what you pay here. There's no pretension; no BS. Just a solid place with great stylists and amazing service. It was really a dream and I plan to come back regularly.

Horrible experience at this barbershop and will not be returning. I spent 40 minutes on a bus and MUNI to my appointment just for them to tell me there was not enough time for my haircut and they would have to reschedule my haircut. I showed up 15 minutes early, but apparently they didn't have time for the appointment. I should have just cancelled the haircut. I was unable to make it to my second appointment and had to cancel my second appointment. Apparently I didn't cancel soon enough and was charged a cancellation fee equal to the cost of the haircut ($55 in my case) Seems like a pretty ridiculous cancellation fee. Oh and top it off they don't even serve beer anymore apparently which is half the reason i showed up in the first place. I wouldn't recommend this barbershop to anybody.

Returning client here after years of trying other barbers and stylists for my super short to pixie haircut needs. It's refreshing to see that many of the stylists here who I remember from 10 years ago or more are still with Public Barber. My memory of this place is that whoever I made an appointment with, I always left with a great cut. Although prices have increased, they're still very reasonable for SF as well as the quality of the service you get. The vibe is also very chill and welcoming. My most favorite thing is being able to schedule an appointment easily through their app for either this location or the one in North Beach. For my return visit I was craving a super short buzz cut. I hesitate with buzz cuts because my hair texture is kind of coarse and spiky and I can easily look like a hedgehog if I don't get a skilled barber. Alicia B. gave me one of the best buzz cuts I have had - nice and tight on the sides and back, and leaving enough length up top while shaping and fading all the lines perfectly. I felt ultra feminine despite having a severe style. I'm totally ready for summer - thank you Alicia and Public Barber on Geary!

Great experience. I chopped off a couple of years of growth. Walked out looking dapper AF. Thanks!! It was a great experience!!

Steve is the guy to see. He listens and is super professional and friendly. Not to mention, the haircuts he has been providing keep me looking fresh to death. The guy has been doing it a long time, is well trained and extremely experienced. I used to visit their North Beach Shop frequently and was so impressed, I even wrote them a google review. But, I find that the shop on Geary Street is a little more convenient for me. I take the Bart in from the East Bay and now always see Steve. He has won me over with great cuts and good conversation. I am very particular when getting a cut. He always listens to what I want and follows instructions well. I try to keep my hair short and tidy and my barber helps to keep me looking clean cut and professional. The shop is well cleaned and they are very COVID safe. They have an app which makes booking easy and convenient. I definitely recommend checking out Steve at the Geary St location. But, you can't go wrong with any of the stylists in either shop. It is a great, well run and friendly shop.
