Fresh Up Barbershop

A friend of ours recommend this place, first time here great atmosphere, fast service, and did an awesome job on our haircuts. If you’re in SD definitely stop by

I got haircut from this place… Worst mistake ever… And $ 20 bucks… The dude was sleeping when I got there and worst part he kept picking songs for the store while he was cutting my hair. Never coming back.

I hardly ever write a review of a place. but this has to be the worst barbershop ever. No professionalism at all, and they don’t even cut hair good.

got a haircut there, showed the barber what i wanted. He told me he can do it, that it was easy! I asked all the questions and he answered as if he knew how to do it. In the end he cut my hair wrong and it looked worse than before and the look on his face showed that he knew he messed up as well. overall a overhyped barber shop that think they are good.

Have had some good, not so good, and horrible barbers since being to California, Ray has been nothing but great. It’s relevant due to him being the most sought after barber I’ve seen there. The ship generally has a slew of good barbers who’ve I’ve had to occasionally get cut by in his absence. The music is good, hair cut is great, everyone should come. Thanks Ray

I drive all the way down to Plaza Bonita to get my hair cut by Manny. He does a really good job, and keeps me looking fresh.
I have also been cut by Chaca, The Yuks, and Brooklyn. All of those guys do a very good Job.
Whoever cuts Ray-Ray’s hair is good as well.
I miss the old pricing scheme, but its all good.
I suggest finding a barber that you clique with and start booking appointments, because it can get very busy, but you probably don’t want your hair cut by unpopular barbers, so busy is a good sign.

OK… first let me start with i loved my cut!!! It was 25.00 and i tipped 10.00. But the service is not the best for this location. If it was a stand alone or a strip mall then yes its perfect. Here is why
1. In the Mall you have kids, abuelas, and a lot of prudes! Not to mention the amount of teen brats that walk in just because of the music you play and the fact that you are «cool kids». This being said you set an example as to how to act in public. And confusing the lil old lady with crazy music flying out the door! It was to funny yet sad.
2. Once I walk into your shop, I am expecting a certain level of respect as a guest (guest not client, if you truly love your job I am guest) Remember not everyone likes to hear your business. The fear of you snipping an ear comes in to play when you have something Sharp in your hand and yout talking the phone. Keep in mind the music is so loud your yelling your convo into your phone and in the ear of the guest in YOUR chair, the other barbers are yelling laughing this inturn makes the place look unprofessional and dirty. When in reality it is NOT. It is very clean and up to date.
3. The wait!!! MY LORD BOYS I DONT BITE! I am giving you the benefit of the doubt, in saying you guys were most likeky nervous doing an old ladys hair. Although I have a mean look, I am pretty cool. I got into the shop at 11;30 i was given to the guy on the left (thin kid) buy the door he was upset with that. He passed me up TWICE! Then gave me to some young kid. That poor kid already had two waiting. By this time I was getting to my limit. Then the guy on the young man on the right said he would take care of me next and he did. THANK YOU! He look looked stressed (probably became most women are picky and throw drama) And i look the type lol. After i said do what you like just don’t make me look more butch then I already do) His face instantly relaxed… i was out in 15 min! He hooked up this 42 year old crazy lady.
All in all I don’t mind the atmosphere in this place. If they get you and out looking better on your way out then awesome! But to sit while you see their friends walk in and get taken care of while you wait, is not cool. Will i go back? yes… But will i wait the same amount of time no. Because my first visit I was observing the characters of the Barbers, taking it in.
SO YES I GIVE IT ***** the idea is good, my guy was amazing
The *** is for the customer service
Oh i forgot the have an ATM cash only
Also remember Barbers are a different breed of person. Its a skill… a profession But they are not mind readers

Disappointing, got passed around between 3 different barbers before getting a chair. The barber I had didn’t listen to a word I said. He was ruff and seemed in a hurry. I will not return or recommend to anyone.

This is specifically for my barber Johny V. Johny is the best barber I’ve found in my 15 years in San Diego. He has never given me a bad or even iffy cut. His fades are on point, he has great attention to detail and I always get compliments on my cuts. Get over here and try him out and you will know what I’m talking about.

this place sucks a guy named robert cut my hair he talked the whole time about gangs and sex i did not like it and never coming back !!!

I went there for the first time. I told the guy low fade and it was not what I wanted. There was still hair left and one side was too high and the other was low. He took to much hair on one side. To top it off it was expensive. It advertised one price and he told me another price after the cut. Will be my last time going there.

Every time we go into this place to get a cut w. a barber named «RAY» he acts as if he has no time for anybody or like he is to good to cut anybody’s hair. He made us feel very unwanted and not worthy. No customer should feel like that every time they go in. There is one barber in there «M3K» who actually went out of his way to help us out even though it was time for him to go home. His cut came out AMAZING& He was a really nice guy. They greet us when we come into the door, but they proceed to pass us off from barber to barber until we finally hit the newest barber.
They text while doing your cuts, they take extra time to groom themselves when they go to clean off the clippers, and they spend more time talking to each other than the client. They are not horrible people, but they need to step their customer service game way up. We shouldn’t have to go down a line of 5 different barbers before someone who has a look of annoyance on their face decides they will «just» help us. It’s either they want some business or they don’t.

I usually come here all the way from poway to get a haircut from them because they are phenomenal barbers. But it is 11:08 am and they open up at 10:00am… There’s no one here except a new guy who can barley speak english and won’t cut hair because he does not know how. Where is everyone

The best barber on San Diego!!!
Ray, is one of the best ones, also for all the puertoricans on the city I will highly recommend Tito… El tipo es un duro en los recortes
Definitivamente for all the military like me, that we are tired of the poor stupid hair cuts on base, just come here and have what a call «un recorte acicala’o» (fresh cut)

If I didn’t have to leave a star, I wouldn’t. I’d give it –1 stars. This Asian guy gave my man the worst haircut I’ve ever seen, took his sideburns off and made the front of his hair so crooked, not to mention the back. I will never go back. Worst cut I’ve ever seen

Normally, I don’t have a problem with getting my sons haircut here, but their system of who is next to get haircut is beyond ridiculous. They tell you to write your name on the whiteboard to be put on the list and than they go according to who is on the top of the list. Well it seemed they had every excuse of why my son wasn’t next and kept taking every other adult who appeared to be a friend of the various barbers. When I said something I was told my son was next and yet, I watched them take someone who literally just walked into the shop. They definitely need a manger who can keep things flowing and coordinating during the busy times and that’s just good business sense!

Love it here, great music and Sandro is awesome I’m always telling people to come here in my opinion prices are reasonable.

this barbershop sucks i went here n I told the barber how i want my hair to be cut but that barber is rude… And plus he doesn’t know how to cut hair it looks like a home made haircut when he cut my hair he also sucks at fading he doesn’t know how to fade big shadow what kind a fade is that. I will never come back here again and i will never recommend this barbershop to my friends

I’ve been coming to Fresh Up for a little over a year now and they are probably the best I’ve been too. The shop has a young urban vibe and very laid back. Every barber has raw talent and anyone that walks in will not be disappointed.
Brooklyn has been my go-​to barber, he never disappoints. When you are loyal to him, the loyalty is returned. He competes in competitions around the nation and has trophies to back it up. Forsure he will hook you up with a crispy fresh fade!

First of all I would like to say I have a lot of respect from the owner boss man hands down that guy is very smart and he cuts good hair he use to cut my hair back in the days at the chop shop he still is a good barber until this day so if you ever want a good hair cut check him out .
Sad to say but I got referral to go and check out this guy named Brooklyn and my family always gets hair cut by him and it always looked like that got a good hair cut so I gave him a try and what’s sad is that it was 4 days before a big family wedding that I had missed for getting a really bad line up he went way too far back with my line up and my side lines one was pushed back and the other side was normal I had a horrible experience my last time coming to this barbershop no offense to my boy boss man though still respect him but just sucked that I couldn’t even go to my cousins wedding party because my hair was all messed up.
