Jj Barber Shop

Came in the night before a big meeting and the barber Edgar cut me up. I’ve been to probably 15 different barbers my entire life and I have NEVER seen anybody care more about attention to detail than this guy. I explained exactly what I wanted and he delivered. The line up was perfect, the taper was tight and the beard… WOW. It’s an experience. I came in expecting just another barber, I haven’t had a different barber since. This dude is a master of his craft. Check him out, you will NOT be disappointed.

I’ve gotten my hair cut here for years. Kim does a great job and the prices are reasonable. She tends to cut guys’ hair short, so if you want it longer be sure to emphasize that. My only gripe is that the street parking can be hard to find during the summer season when beaches are crowded, but of course that’s not her fault. This will remain my «go to» place in PB for a reasonable haircut.

While vacationing in San Diego it was time to get a hair cut. I used my Unilocal app to find a selection of barber shops. Jj was nearby and had a fair amount of good reviews. Anyway, when I got there, it was empty and an older dude was sitting in one of the chairs. He was obviously the barber and beckoned me to come in and have a seat.
He asked me how I wanted it. «One on the sides and trim the top» Should be easy. I also asked him if I could get a shave and trim my beard. Of course he could. He took his time making sure everything was even. I was very happy with his precision cut. He used different creams and oils when shaving my face, back of head and neck. I even got a shampoo to get rid of access hair. When he shaved my face he used a straight razor and put a hot towel on my face. Talk about old school! I was there for a about an hour. They’ve got TVs to help pass the time and I didn’t have to worry about small talk. Including the shave and shampoo, it cost me around $ 30. This place was worth it.

Just got haircut 15 minutes ago and Had to shave my head when I get home. Asian lady did not speak english and apparently had vision problems as she proceeded to chop off all my hair. Worst haircut I’ve ever had. «Bald looks good thank god»
And she doesn’t want to wash my hair because she had 2 more customer were waiting for her. She told me to wash the hair myself for no extra charges“
Go across the street at haircutters they charge $ 3 more but you will be satisfied.

Queena is simply amazing and the best hair stylist/​makeup artist out there. Make an appt with her and you will definitely be coming back for more! Love her!

It took me a while to find a great hair stylist. Thanks to Queena my search is finally over! It’s been around a year now and even though she moved from Adam’s Ave to Pacific Beach: I am still happy to drive to PB for her! My asian hair is hard to cut and she just does it so effortlessly.
Thanks Q!

this review’s been a loooong time coming. how good is queena? let me put it this way — she’s been my hairstylist for EIGHT YEARS. she has an uncanny ability to know exactly what works best for her clients, but she’s never overbearing and always defers the final decision to them. in my experience with her, she’s always been right with her recommendations, so i trust her completely.
i’m sure i’ll murder this, but here it goes anyway. queena, ban la tot nhat!

I think Queena is fab!!! I moved out to SD almost two years ago and prior to moving out here I had my hairstylist friend that take care of my hair. Before moving out here i actually cut off 12 inches so i was a little nervous i wasn t able to manage the short cut.
One of my co workers always looked so edgy with her short hair and funky colors so i asked where she got her hair done. Since then i have had queena do my hair! I think she is great and totally knows how to do my hair exactly how i want it! Never disappointed!

Queena is hands down the best! I have never been so happy with a haircut before she started cutting my hair last fall. She is able to work with my usually unruly hair while still giving me exactly what I want. While many hairstylist cut your hair according to what they like, Queena actually listens to your concerns and works with you to find the best possible hair shape for each individual.
I feel very comfortable speaking with her as a hairstylist and friend yet she still acts like a true professional. Better yet, not only does she do a phenomenal job cutting my hair she also gives great advice how to style it. Each time I go in Queena demonstrates a new style and/​or hair tool and I never leave disappointed. If you are looking for an approachable (she texts! what could be better!!!) and super talented hairstylist contact Queena and you won’t be disappointed!

Jj Barber Shop is such a great find! I live out of town & I was able to get an appointment with Queena ! She was fantastic. She listened to what I had wanted for my new hair look & cut & styled my hair to exactly what I wanted! She gave me great tips on how to style my hair & how to care for my hair. I will absolutely be going back in the 3 – 4 months for my next cut!

I’m new to San Diego and was stressing about finding a hairstylist. I found Queena on Unilocal,read all her fantastic reviews, and called her to make an appointment. Despite her being so incredibly popular, not only was she able to see me within a week, she saw me on a Sunday!!! She even sent me a text the day before to confirm the appointment. She is so warm and friendly, and my hair looks FANTASTIC!!! She even instructed me on how to style it myself so that I could re-​create the look. THANK YOU QUEENA!

LOVE Queena! She is awsome at what she does! She listens to your needs and makes sure you look and feel fabulous! It is so hard to find a good stylist,
I am glad I found Queena! She does what you ask for and does not go scissor crazy!

To be honest with you i’ve been looking for a hairstylist for 6 yrs now. I gave up a few years back because I do know a thing about hair. After all i cut some of my friend’s hair. There’s one thing i found that most barber don’t listen to their clients especially male clients.
So after 6 yrs away from the hair salon. Queena was the first one who started cutting my hair again for several months now. As picky and anal as I am. She is by far the best one I had so far. Her attention to details is amazing. I like my hair with lots of texture and she gave it that. Also recommend me to some hair products. Amazing advice. She sure know what she’s talking about. So speaking from a guy point of view, if you’re looking for a stylist who listen to your needs and make you look GREAT. The head rub for the shampoo is great! Go see Queena. She’s the QUEEN of hair!!!

I love Queena’s work!
I have been with her since 2005. I have followed her all over San Diego and it’s all worth it! From UTC mall, Horton Plaza, Clip Art, n now Jj Barber. After my very first visit with her I MADE her give me her cell phone number because i was SOOO satisfied with her work n didn’t want to lose her. She knew exactly what to do with my hair. From that moment on I let her do whatever she wanted to do with my hair. I constantly receive positive comments on my hair from people of all ages. She knows exactly how to make her customers look and feel good. If she ever moved out of state… TRUST, I would still follow her.

I have been going to Queena for about 3 years now. She is an extremely talented hairstylist with amazing SKILLZ! I continue to go to her because I LOVE her work! She never fails me and isn’t afraid to take chances with my hair! My experience with her is always a great one! I look forward to getting my hair done every 2 months! Seeing Queena is ALWAYS a treat! I always leave her salon looking & feeling HOT LAVA! She always gives me the ego boost I need when I feel :(
Queena really knows what she’s doing! You wont be disapointed! She will take GREAT care of you! You’ll be coming back!
SHE IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! :)

Best barber shop in town, hands down. I’ve been many places here in San Diego. I’ve had my hair butchered at a few. The barbers here take there time and are very detailed with their craft. Its tough to find a good barber, but once you do… never leave! This is NOT YOUR ORDINARY BARBER SHOP. I promise you won’t be disappointed. If you want to get a fade, ask for Nam or Edgar… no one does it better in town.

JJ Barber Shop is a cute little salon just a few steps from Pacific Beach. Queena has a great sense of style and fashion which she expresses each time she works with her clients. I have long, very straight Asian hair, which is sometimes difficult to style. She always manages to give me a a stylish cut that is low maintenance. She also takes some extra time after cutting my hair to show me a new way to style it each time I see her. I receive so many compliments from my family, friends and coworkers whenever I get my hair done. Go to Queena if you want to look like a fabulous diva!

QUEENA IS PHENOMENAL! No– really… she is as good as it gets.
I heard about her about 1.5 years ago on Unilocal,and everyone was raving. It turns out, it’s true. I’ve been going to her for every haircut since, and she literally remembers all of them, saying things like «remember when we textured it on top a little to give it more body 8 months ago? We should try that again.»
She really takes pride in her work, and has a gift of not only being great at cutting/​styling hair, but also recognizing what looks good on people. Plus, she doesn’t try to make me into something I’m not. She knows that I probably don’t take as much time on my hair as I should, and so makes sure to do cuts that are really easy to style (and then teach me how!). She’s amazing.
Try her. You absolutely won’t be disappointed. She just moved from Kensington to Pacific Beach, and even though it adds 15 min to my drive, she’s absolutely worth it. Plus, her prices are REALLY reasonable!
GO SEE QUEENA!!!

I have been going to JJ’s for years. Kim has been cutting my hair for as long as I can remember. It is affordable and the shop was just over-​hauled in PB. It looks really nice, is clean, and everyone is fun, out-​going, and courteous. Kim does an excellent job of cutting my hair and has me in and out in under 30 minutes. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality haircut in Pacific Beach. 5 stars!

Best place I’ve found in sd!
Being military I get a lot of haircuts. But today I got by far the best cut of my life. I’ve never been more satisfied with my dew. They styled it for me too so it will look good with some gel and when I’m working. I never knew I could have style with a marine regulation cut!
