Jaycob did an outstanding job on my haircut. His ability to combine a precise scissor cut with clean clipper work is a rare skill, and he absolutely nailed it. The blend was seamless, the details were on point, and the final result exceeded my expectations. It’s hard to find a barber who truly masters both techniques, but Jaycob clearly does. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier craftsmanship and attention to detail. I appreciated our conversations and he is very easy to get along with. Thank you!

From small heads to big heads, round to flat. Nick Cantu cuts them all. My nephew went to Nick to get his haircut and I must say, what a fantastic job. One would say you leave a better person after a fresh cut and a conversation with your barber, hence the reviews. He's a great guy with a mastered craft. My nephew and I gladly put our trust in his hands.

After moving to California last year, it was time to find a new barber. Nicholas Cantu is a professional, cares about the final product for his customers, and pays attention to the finest details. G. Circle Barber Lounge offers a clean and chill environment to get your next cut.

I’ve been getting my haircuts with Nicholas Cantu, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s cool, easy to talk to, and always makes you feel comfortable in the chair. On top of that, he’s genuinely skilled at what he does, every cut comes out clean and exactly how I want it. If you’re looking for a barber who’s professional, talented, and just great to be around, Nicholas is the one.

I have to give a huge shout out to Nick at G Circle Barbershop. My baby brother has been going to Nick for a long time even before Nick joined this shop, and that says everything. Nick is literally the only person he trusts with his hair now. Watching that level of trust between a barber and a client is nice. Nick doesn’t just give a good haircut, he gives a sense of comfort and confidence. What I love most is the dynamic they have. When my brother sits in Nick’s chair, he seems less shy. they talk, joke around, and my brother genuinely feels seen. I used to stay for the whole appointment just to hang out, but now I actually step away and let them have their time. I meet him afterward because I know my brother is in good hands, not just with the haircut, but in the environment. It makes me happy to see my brother connect and feel at home there. Nick isn’t just talented he’s consistent, professional, and creates a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. That’s why he has loyal clients, and that’s why my brother will always go back. Highly recommend. If you’re looking for someone who listens, remembers you, and truly cares about the result go see Nick Cantu.

I’ve been going to Nick for years, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. He always takes his time, knows exactly what I like, and the cut is perfect every single time. On top of that, he’s just a genuinely good person—always great conversation and good vibes in the shop. If you’re looking for a barber who actually cares about his craft and his clients, this is the one.

I’ve been going to Cantu for a long time, and ever since he moved to G Circle, I haven’t gone anywhere else. Cantu has a true mastery of haircutting and grooming -- his fades are always clean and graceful. When he uses scissors, his precision and care really stand out. He inspires complete confidence that your hair will turn out just right.

Kris B at G Circle is the most talented, detail-oriented and caring barber I know. She truly gives the BEST haircuts! Back in 2019, she gave me my big chop - helping me transform my long femme hair to a shadow fade. I still remember how much attention she gave me as I anxiously and indecisively attempted to land on a vision for a final cut. She gave me ideas, offered reassurance, and helped co-create the cut that we moved forward with. Kris is a true Virgo and will meticulously work with her clients to make sure she gives you the ideal haircut and that you leave her chair feeling like your best self. As a queer non-binary person, Kris’ cuts are so gender-affirming for me. I feel safe, creative, and playful in her hands. Over the past 5 years of cutting my hair, Kris has become a close friend who I wholeheartedly trust. I often ask her to freestyle designs on the side of my head, and awe at the artistry she brings to her craft. She also goes along way to meet my COVID needs (asking if I’d like her to wear a mask, etc.) - which is very important to me as someone who continues to be very COVID-conscious. I would follow Kris anywhere, but truly G Circle is a great barbershop with immaculate vibes and talented barbers all around. I’ve also got cut by Nick G (one of the co-owners of G Circle) and he was great! He already knew my preferences from observing how Kris cuts my hair in the chair next to him over the years. As I’ve told so many friends, I can’t recommend this local establishment enough!

Kris is the best barber I’ve ever had! She is detail oriented, kind, and multi-talented. I usually get a shadow fade with a bald taper and have her blend my beard. I’ve been coming to her since 2017 and followed her from other shops. G circle is a newer shop with good vibes, trendy cuts, and friendly staff. You’ll be lucky to get a cut here.
