Orinda Village Barber

Great barbershop, the owner is aight he cuts hair decently not so good at Xbox. Overall 5 stars

Eric gives a fantastic old school style men’s barber cut. Here’s very neat and very detail oriented. You will look sharp when you leave… Best Bay Area barber!

So 44 years ago I had my first haircut from Leo, fell asleep in his chair as I wasn’t old enough yet to talk sports or view the adult magazines… Today Erik is my go to guy as Leo is now retired. Leo became a family friend and even attended my wedding as he also but my dad’s hair for probably close to 60 years.
Erik is a great guy but you have to understand there are many people who have frequented this place for years like I have and so yes most often you can’t just walk in and get your haircut like you can from supercuts or sports cuts or some other shitty place by people using guides on their clippers or just scissors. So plan ahead call, make and appointment and become a regular and you will find the place very enjoyable like some of the others have said. If you play it right you could even enjoy a holiday libation when getting your haircut.

Eh, I thought the place was so-​so.
The guy Erik struck me as being aloof, and indifferent. I arrived near my appointment, and he helped another customer whose appointment was later than mine. Not cool.
Sixto gave me an excellent haircut. Nice guy.
I thought the place was just okay. I’m not sure why, but the place just struck me as just being so-​so. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here.

I have never had a bad haircut here. Erik is professional, punctual, and skilled. He pays close attention to detail.

I’ve been a client of Erik’s for twelve years and you will not find a better establishment than Village Barber. The other barbers, Leo and Sixto, are professionals as well and you not only get a phenominal haircut, you just have a great experience. You get to hang out with ‘the guys,’ the price is right and definitely make your reservations in advance because they are pretty much booked the majority of the time. My two sons (7 & 5) are now going to Village Barber and in addition to getting a great haircut, they also get tootsie roll pops. Thanks Erik for twelve + great years!

the greatest hair cut for very little money. erik is quite the professional!!! if you need a barber this is the place to go.

If you live in Orinda and don’t want to spend too much on haircuts and enjoy talking to some great guys then this should be your barber shop.
I used to come here all the time as a kid. Erik, the owner was my go to guy. If I find myself at home I’ll still go pay him a visit. He’s a really great guy and is great at his job.
All of the other barbers there are super friendly and very talkative. You will not find yourself with awkward silences at Village Barbers. They also have a subscription to many different magazines that will help you pass the time (including a certain magazine catered more toward a male audience… so this might not be the best place for really young kids even though the magazines are out of reach).
This is definitely a man’s man spot. There is always a game on the radio and talk about sports of some kind. This is a great place for a guy to get his hair cut.
