Nathan’s Barber and Beauty Salon

They do an awesome job here! Moved to san diego about a year ago and went here based on reviews. I have had about 7 haircuts from them and they have done a great job every time. I’ve had each of them cut my hair and was happy with each. I recommend you call in ahead of time because the word is getting out and at certain times of day there can be a decent wait. They give you tips on types of products to use that are better for your hair, and little tips on ways to keep your full head of hair. Great advice, great cuts and easy to talk to.

One of the best haircuts I’ve gotten in 10 years. I love in the SF Bay Area and went to San Diego to visit my sons and granddaughter. When I saw my oldest son I said,’”You look great. Where you get your haircut?” Hr recommended Nathan’s. I going out later my middle son also went there. My experience surpassed my expectations. I just might have to visit my kids more often. :-)

I’ve been going to Nathan’s for a few years now. The shop has 3 barber’s currently and I would honestly feel comfortable getting a cut and a shave with any of them. The hair cuts are clean and the straight razor finish is great! Most places that are in the same price range are usually inconsistent and a gamble in terms of your quality of haircut, but these guys have made such an impression on me with their skills that I don’t even bother looking in the mirror when they have me check my cut.
For any straight shavers out there, I HIGHLY recommend this place. I have been to most if not all of the usual/​popular straight shave barbershops in San Diego and each typically charges between 20 and 60 for just a straight shave. Nathan’s charges about 11 dollars for the same service, and these barbers are not afraid to give you a close shave (which I love).
I typically get a haircut and straight shave each visit and even after tip I am still spending much less than 30 dollars total. I recommend you pay cash to avoid the 1 dollar ATM service fee. They thread eyebrows great too if that’s your thing. I love getting my cut with Thomas, he impresses me every time!

Just moved to San Diego a few months ago and I stumbled upon to this place. Man, oh man. Probably the best hair cut I’ve ever gotten. They treat it as an art and you can see the professionalism they have. I would recommend this place to anybody. Excellent customer service and excellent hair cut. What else do you need? Thank you Thomas for the amazing fade. They will definitely be seeing me soon

I had my hair cut by Thames and he is a total pro. This is the best haircut I have ever had in my life. Thames was so attention to detail, I was amazed at his skills at cutting hair. I wish I would have found this place sooner. Thank you!

Best Barber Shop in town.
As a UCSD student, I’ve been to many barbershops, Happy Barber, Barberside, Lefty’s. Conveniently located, Nathan’s Barbershop by far gives the best fades. I usually get mine from Thomas and he hasn’t disappointed me yet. Nathan is also very skilled. Their scissoring is on point. If I were you I would not hesitate to walk on in or make an appointment!

Thomas did went above my expectations with my haircut and I will definitely be coming back ! Great service

Up my original review to 5 stars because the reason I gave a low rating is no longer there. love a hot towel straight shave. Recently remodeled this place is pretty nice. I go about once a month and make sure not to shave for a day or so before going, just as an excuse to get the shave.

Thomas is an amazing barber. Best haircut I’ve gotten in San Diego and it was only $ 12!

My son isn’t one that gets excited about hair cuts ((it usually involves some sort of bribing on our part)) but he hasn’t stopped talking about how much he loves his hair & Thomas. He’s looking forward to coming back. Thank you!

I have been to Nathan’s a couple of times and always had my hair cut by different barbers, but it was always good. This is a purist salon, just a room with a few seats, but you can watch English Premier League on the TV. I like that I can just get my hair cut for cheap and the barbers don’t involve you into senseless small talk, but just do they work well.

They are good but they don’t know how to treat customers .
3 stars for poor customer service

Nathan’s Barber is as good as it gets.
I’ve been coming here for a few years now and Nathan always delivers.
He can cut any style and will take his time on you. The straight razor finish is the icing on the cake. The prices are very affordable, so tip generously.
Every barber here is a master of his craft and you can’t go wrong with whoever you choose.
This place offers a classic, no-​frills barbershop experience and I highly recommend it.

Nathan rocks the perfect fade. Great cut and great conversation here. Finished the eyebrows after I asked (so you should ask if you want your caterpillars trimmed). Back of the neck finished with a high-​quality electric razor. I prefer a straight razor, but I’m O.K. with this method too. Price is right ($ 10 cut + $ 1 for card use. Made it $ 15 with a tip). I’ll be back!

Great guys. Nathan cut my hair. I was very satisfied. I’m always skeptical about going somewhere new, especially if no ones ever referred them to me.
He cut my hair up really clean & detailed. I loved that he told me everything he was doing & how he was going to fix certain things. Great customer service.
4 stars because of the $ 1 charge on credit & debit & the $ 1 charge for hard part & line ups. Most places I’ve been don’t charge for either of that stuff. Good place none the less. I would go back !

Nathan’s is pretty amazing. I’ve never gotten a haircut here before, but all my male friends have! My friend’s entire house of 5 guys ALL go to Nathan’s for all their hair needs. They’re constantly raving about the great rates and cuts they get. There isn’t a bad barber there, and I think each of the guys have their own favorite barber. This place is so great that I decided to write a review on behalf of all of them.
I tagged along one day with one of the guys who was getting a haircut and there was a constant influx of customers! Nathan’s accepts walk-​ins, but it’s definitely best to call in ahead and make an appointment because they’ll prioritize appointments over walk-​ins.
Lastly, I think they mostly specialize in men’s hair, so I’m not really sure what the haircuts for women are like.
TL;DR:
Price: $ — Super cheap cuts around ~10 $ for men
Tips: make appointments because they get insanely busy on weekends! & they accept cards, but they charge 1 $!

Just had my haircut this afternoon and it was great. Angilique (sp?) cut my hair and did a pretty good job. I have always gone to supercuts or some other similar place. Can’t beat the price. I paid $ 12 because I only waited a few minutes and had some good laughs while there. Will definitely be back!

I finally found my «go-​to» barbershop in San Diego!
Nathan is a cool guy that seemed knowledgable about cutting hair (at least for what I wanted done). I went in the middle of the day and there was no wait whatsoever. It may be tougher to get a walk-​in haircut during busy hours but he has other barbers on certain days from what I understand.
The best part of this place is the price ($ 10). From what I have found in San Diego, the other places that offered competitive prices were the «you get what you pay for» type of places. Nathan’s was affordable and he gave me a good cut. I tipped him more than I ever tip at other places and it’s still far cheaper than the downtown area where the average barber charges $ 20-​$ 25 for a mediocre haircut.
I will certainly be returning here in the future for my haircuts!

I found Nathan’s on Unilocal and I am glad I went and checked it out. I had a beard that I had been growing through November it was time to shave it off. I figured I would treat myself to a straight razor shave (old school style).
Nathan was awesome, very professional and precise. You can tell he takes pride in his craft and it shows. This was the first time I have had a straight shave and I have never had a closer and more smooth shave. I would highly recommend it .
The price is right as well, $ 11 + tip is priced right where it should be. I think i’ll grow my beard out a little more often just to go in for another shave. Give it a shot.

These guys are awesome! Thanks for getting our Movember started with an awesome Shave the Date! We’ll be back!
