JG Barber Spa

As a woman, I never really divulged myself with what goes on in a men’s barber shop. My husband recently found Ruben through Unilocal and wanted to give his shop a try since his other shop was almost always booked and because he could never get the barber that he wanted. For his first appointment with Ruben, my husband came home super happy with his new due (I’m not gonna lie, I was too) and he couldn’t stop talking about how awesome Ruben was. He continued on with telling me that Ruben also cuts at the barber shop on Texas Street (in Fairfield) and at this location in Green Valley.
JG Barber Spa is actually located inside of Rosina’s European Skin Care Clinic, on the third floor of a professional building, next to The Green Valley Library (Note to all ’cause it’s easy to to get lost for first timers). Ruben’s station is the first chair of the Skin Care Clinic and has a wonderful view. The whole style of his station is American Traditional with the old school barber’s chair, boxing and military paraphernalia, and (of course) the classic barber’s pole. He’ll even turn on some music from the 40’s which fully changes the whole atmosphere all together (you’ll forget you’re in a skin care clinic).
Ruben was awesome. He had a (small) selection of bottled brews and water for his clients and it was easy to have a conversation with him. He was totally inviting while I was waiting in a extra barber chair and all I can say is the man is extremely positive. It’s rare to met someone as chill as he is. We talked about multiple topics from movies, to football, and traveling. With all respect, he definitely fits in with the classic gentlemen genre with regards to how he presents himself and communicates.
However, we did hit a snag. While cleaning up the back of my husband’s neck he did nick my husband’s (thin) chain link necklace which caused it to break. Ruben told us that we could take it to another clients shop to get it fixed and to let his friend know that Ruben sent us and to put it on his tab. It seemed like he was sincerely apologetic and followed up with my husband by letting him know that he got a hold of his friend at the shop. At the end of it all, we did go to the shop and his friend did follow through with Ruban’s word.
My husband’s hair cut came out great. He also got his beard trimmed and he damned near has this Peaky Blinder’s look going on (I definitely dig). If you have the chance to, my husband and I recommend Ruben. Make sure to call for an appointment as this location is appointment based only!

Ruben is an amazing individual. I’ve known him since he opened. If you’re needing to relax while getting a haircut, add a refresher. You will be amazed. Stop by and see Ruben, tell him Tom sent you.

You owe it to yourself to try a hidden gem right here in our backyard. If you look above sticky rice, you will notice the barber lights above. Here lies a hidden treasure!!!
Not just a traditional barber shop, but an experience of a life time. I had a father son morning and I’ll tell you this goes in the books for the best time you can spend as grown men. The JG signature shave is an experience you won’t forget. Simply the best!!! Ask for Ruben

Rube and his crew are awesome. They take the time to make sure you get what you are paying for and the quality of the cuts are top notch. Keep up the good work guys!
Seriously, I wish all barber shops were like this versus the «in and out» type establishments. My kids love coming here and I think we are lifetime customers going forward.
Ruben and James are down to earth and do this for the love of the profession not the $, we never feel rushed at all and all customers are treated like family here.

Literally the best barber shop I have EVER been to! Ruben is very talented !!! I had a rather odd undercut that no barber or cosmetologist could achieve before him! Don’t even get me started on this new sick fade he hooked me up with and his opinion on color and hair growth for when iit started growing back was spot on!

Had my appt. this morning (9÷21÷14) and already scheduling my next trim.
I’ve been going to Rube’s downtown for years and this was my first visit to the new Barber spa.
Ruben is credit to the title of ‘Master Barber”. I can’t recommend JG enough!

Just finished with my experience at JG Barbers… If your a guy (49% of us are) you NEED to go here… This is an experience not to be missed, you get the vibe of an old school barber shop, Frank playing in the background, and the upscale of a full service salon. The owner, Ruben, is such an amazing barber, I want to call him an artist with the job he does. You get an amazing haircut, a shampoo, razor on the neck and ears, and styled how you like it. My next time in I’m going for the shave and haircut package, I’ve never done a shave at a barbershop, but damn… I’m looking forward to it. This is our time gentlemen, our time to be pampered, to leave feeling refreshed and ready to work, and to have a place like this solely for us! Go here, you won’t regret it.
Another great part of this barbershop is being by appointment only, no more waiting in a barbershop for an hour or two, can’t be beat…
Why are you still reading this??? Email or call them, get on it…
Your also supporting a veteran owned business… Bonus!

I’ve been going to local (Vacaville) barbers for a few years now. The two shops I went to are very good. But wait times were brutal (over 2 hrs at times) and in a pinch, I’m sometimes left going without a cut even when I try to plan accordingly. Since I work in Fairfield, I thought I’d search for a new barber for better luck. Fortunately for me, I found JG Barber Spa and master barber, Ruben Padilla. Ruben is a master at his craft. I make this assessment being extremely particular with my haircut. The entire experience was second to none. JG Barber Spa is the benchmark for luxury men’s grooming and pampering. The precise quality haircut/​beard trim, the facial with refreshing face towel, the massage, the laid back feel and great conversation, and the ability to secure hassle-​free appointments (online, via phone call or text!) is why I will be returning to see «Rube» from here on. Gentlemen, this place is a gem. Do yourselves a favor and make that appointment now. ZERO regrets. Thanks Ruben! PS. Nice boots.
