Ron is an exceptional barber whose skill and expertise are immediately apparent. I have been a regular client of Ron's for years, and each time, I am impressed by his ability to make me look my best, even with a receding hairline :) His ability to consistently deliver sharp, stylish haircuts, regardless of hair challenges, is a testament to his mastery. If you're looking for a barber who will make you look and feel your best, Ron is your guy. He's not just a barber; he's a true artist.

Great place to get your haircut. Friendly and professional and they always listen to your hair and beard needs to get the job done. Would highly recommend this for the best haircut. All barbers there are great, but ask for Richie, he’ll hook you up.

these guys are amazing! I’ve gotten a haircut with a few of them and they are all very very good! Just today i went to get a haircut with Ron and he killed it. Everytime he does an absolute banger job

Easy walk in, great haircut. Managed my three year old well for a haircut. Was surprised by $45 for a haircut without a neck shave, hot towel, or beer. Then again I'm visiting and not used to Palo Alto prices. Would recommend. Would visit again.

Great haircut I didn't get the barbers name but I would go back. He made sure he understood what I wanted before starting and was very kind. FYI though this place is cash only no card
