Marco is my go to guy! Always a blast with him. Not only is he an amazing barber but he is so easy to talk to and makes you feel at home. I will never see anyone else but him. Although it's pricey at peoples barber Marco makes it so worth it. Highly HIGHLY recommended!

My first time getting a haircut at this location and I loved how it turned out. Amanda was very communicative and nice! I never like my haircuts but this is the first time I leave happy. And Amanda also gave me tips on my wavy hair and some product recommendations! Thank you 😊

Marco is great! he knows exactly how I like my hair cut, and does it well every single time. Without exception, when I get home my wife says "wow, that's a great haircut" . He's also a very pleasant person and an interesting conversationist.

The first time I visited this shop, I received a haircut from a woman named Amanda. She took excellent care of me, and I felt the service went above and beyond what I typically experience in that price range. I learned useful tips about hair care, had my hair washed and my scalp massaged, and even received a free product sample—which I later confirmed is well-suited to my hair type. The moist, eucalyptus-infused hot towel on my face was also a nice touch. The haircut itself was excellent, and I appreciated how well it maintained its shape as it grew out over the following weeks.

The People's Barber? Right...if your people are tech bros, hipsters or hills moms bringing their kids in for $$$$ cuts. The stylists/barbers seem fine, but you can get the same cut and support a small locally owned shop for better service and price. I used to treat my kid to an occasional cut here back when Luis used to work here and the prices were better. He was great! He listened, asked questions and just seemed genuine. He was such a light that I was able to see through the dense fog of insufferable hipster pretension that fills this space. I took my kid in a couple days back. An appointment was coldly made. I had to redirect the stylist several times and he almost left my kid with this weird mullet like thing that looked nothing like the pic I showed. Sure, the texture of my kid's hair is different from the pic, but he didn't ask any questions or point out how that could be problematic (and to be real, the cut could have been possible ). Then we opted for a shorter cut. The stylist was responsive and I could tell that he wanted us to be happy. He seemed to rush through and he took 40 minutes from start to finish including the redos. Finally we checked out with an acceptable cut that my kid was happy with. When I go to check out, it turns out that this all comes out to a full price adult haircut! This didn't seem right. Still, I paid and tipped the full amount. When I came home and looked at the website, the full haircut was supposed to come with shampoo/condition, beverage, hot towel and all the usual stuff that everyone else who paid full price get. My kid didn't get no organic juice, and mama wasn't offered any whiskey. What we got was an average kid's cut. I would love for the price to be adjusted so that's what I pay, stylist can keep the full tip amount because I'm not even sure that he knew it wasn't a kid's cut. I called and asked for that, and they offered to give me five freaking dollars. So now, I will rage post this review everywhere and get over it.

Dane is absolutely amazing! Walked in here about 4 months ago and have been driving back from the Fremont area ever since. I go with a mid-high Fade and Dane is a pro at her craft. She always takes her time and utilizes the full hour to touch things up and make sure I walk out feeling great. The beer/whiskey/coffee and ambient vibe is a huge plus. Other barber shops charge a similar price but nowhere near the attentiveness and attention to detail. Friendly staff and genuine people overall.

Jorge has been giving me the best haircut in the Bay Area since I moved out here in 2023. The conversations are authentic and he can do any haircut with quality and skill. I 10/10 recommend him as your next appointment.

I had an amazing time with Valerie! She did a shampoo and condition of my hair which was amazing and felt so good!! And then after helped freshen up my mane with a proper trim and framed my face with some expert cuts. My hair feels so healthy and fresh, and Valerie did such a great job making me feel so pampered and fresh! I highly recommend Valerie and the Peoples Barbers shop- the environment was open and clean and inviting in a great location.
