Jake’s Barber Shop

My father has been in and out of the hospital over the last few months, and recently ended up in a nursing home around the Citrus Heights area. Today was his birthday. He has always wanted to go to a barber to get a haircut and a shave, so for his birthday I wanted to try to find someone who could come to him. After looking up several different barbers in the area I decided to call a couple to see if any would travel to the nursing home. Jake’s barber was the first place I called. Jake himself answered the phone, and he couldn’t have been more charming and friendly! After I explained my request/​situation, he so kindly agreed to travel to the nursing home to give my dad a haircut for his birthday, even though it was the day of, and very late notice. Once he got to the nursing home, he was so accommodating with my dad and the rest of our family there. He was professional and extremely personable, not to mention he gave my dad an amazing haircut. My dad was thrilled!
I would definitely recommend Jake for a great mens haircut, a good conversation, and wonderful treatment. I feel very blessed that our paths crossed.

He’s a nice guy with multiple talent. He gives nice tight clean cut for me. Thanks jake!

First time here. Got a great haircut and conversation. Jake’s been cutting hair for 40 years and knows what he’s doing.
Thanks Jake, I’ll be back.

Jake was very sweet. You can tell he’s a pro and has been doing this a while. The patrons let my boyfriend cut the line and get his cut first. Would recommend for a traditional barber experience!

Best barber in town. Been going for 15 years and he just keeps going!!! No one else cuts hair like him. Prefers cash but does take card for small fee. Very old school but that means quality and makes sure it is always the perfect way.

The woman who had previously cut my hair had quit so I needed to find someone else. I turned to Unilocal and found Jake. The short version of it all is that he seems like a really nice guy that gives a good haircut. Pretty well worth it. My only regret is that his point of purchase credit card machine doesn’t leave a line for a tip and I didn’t have any cash on me. BRING A COUPLE OF BUCKS WITH YOU, YOU WILL WANT TO TIP HIM AFTERWARDS.

Found Jakes today going through Unilocal.I was in desperate need of a trim and for the past few years I’ve just shaved my head once it got to long. Today I decided to change it up and went and got a trim and I couldn’t be happier, reminded me of the barber shops I went to as a kid. I will be back for sure and highly recommend Jakes for anyone needing a trim.

Great place to get a hair cut! Today was the first time I had been there, I wasn’t too sure about it before hand however I couldn’t be happier with the results. I keep my hair short and Jake did a great job on the fading.

Jake did a great job best haircut I have had in years. Don’t go to supercuts, pay the extra 5 $ and come here. Feels like a small town barber shop and he does a great job.

I’ve been visiting Jake’s for about 6yrs now, by far the best traditional barber in the area.
When I moved to the area 6 yrs ago, I was in search of a traditional barber, it took me 7 barber shops to finally find one that owned a straight edge shaver! It was Jake’s Barber Shop.
The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality of the haircut.

I was in town and looking for a place to et my flat top cut. I saw the review on Unilocal and called him and asked if he could cut a flat top. He said yes,
He rounded the sides off exactly like I asked him not to and he could not cut it flat. Very unsatisfied. It was also very expensive. The shop was dirty and Jake’s hands were covered in paint. You would think a barber would clean his hands. I will never return here and do not recommend this place.

Out of curiosity I stopped in here for my youngest son to get a hair cut. I was asked how I wanted his hair to be cut and Jake got to work.
Jake has been a barber for 40 years. My son was a walk in. He had someone on the chair and while my son got his haircut, two more gentlemen waited. Jake seems like a busy man and to me that’s a really good sign that he does good work.
My son’s haircut looked great and he was really quick too. I think my son plans on becoming a regular customer.
$ 14.50 (before tip) for my son’s haircut. Not bad, right?

I actually found Jake’s Barbershop here on Unilocal,the reviews were good and it is close to my office so I decided to give it a try.
I was not disappointed. The haircut was great and the price was right. I would recommend this Barber to friends. The shop is clean and Jake is an experienced Barber that you can trust.

Jake is a professional in every sense of the word and an excellent barber to boot! He takes his time to get to know what your style preferences are and takes the time he needs to make sure you get a quality cut. He is meticulous and makes sure to get the details right!

My husband walked in a grizzly mountain man and walked out a suave gentleman with a sophisticated haircut for Thanksgiving Day.
Hands down, this was the best haircut and experience that my husband has ever had. Jake took the confusing instructions my husband gave him and put it to the test and did a perfect job. He also worked gently around my husband’s brain surgery scar without having to be asked. Too many times has it been nicked and cut by careless stylists and other barbers.
Need your beard cut, trimmed or totally demolished like my husband? This is the place for you. He was extremely careful not to cut and even trimmed those pesky eyebrows of his. Don’t worry about itching afterwards because he VACUUMS your head! How cool is that?
Adequate seating, clean bathroom and a flat screen television with the parade on made this a delightful experience and we wish we lived in the area… we’d be back to Jake’s every month!

Jake’s what more can I say. Old fashioned great service. Not many barbers have the skills that Jake has. I have been getting my haircut at Jake’s for years and have never had a complaint. It’s like stepping back in time, a real barber shop!
5 stars all the way. As much as I would like to keep it a secret, I cant because I want to see him busy all the time. So the cat is out of the bag, I will probably have to wait now.
His experience as a barber is second to none, and so is his hospitality.
Thanks Jake

Jake was great, he took his time yet was still quick. He makes you feel welcome. The hours on his web site are wrong he’s only open till 5. I thought we was open later so call to see if I need an appt, he said know. So I arrive around 5pm he was waiting for me. This is just above and beyond, normally he’s closed and here he was waiting around for some random first time person to maybe show up.
So needless to say I will be going back to Jake’s again.

We just moved to the neighborhood and spotted Jake’s awhile ago while out and about. My little boy needed a cut for the first day of school and we tried him out.
He was great with my squirmy seven year old and did a great cut too! We’ll be back for sure!

Jake is the man! First time there he did a great job and a straight razor. Price is great also. He has free ice cream bars while wait and tv. I found my new baber

If you have never been to a real Barber, it is in a world of difference. Being a real Barber is truely a craft. One Jake has mastered.
I must be honest is saying that I always get nevervous getting a straight razor shave from an older gentleman as the the vision and shakes set in.
No need to worry. Jake is a perfectionist. Treat yourself and get treated to this dying artform!
Once you have the hot foam shave you will see what I mean!
