Lefty’s Barbershop

All that anyone seemed to say on Unilocal was how wonderful Jason was so we requested him. My boyfriend’s hair hasn’t looked this good in a while! Good part and good fade and he’s just so handsome I don’t know what else to say. Send us home with pomade too and it still looks fresh. Oh and yeah. Starbucks next door was a bonus for me ;)

Jason cuts my boyfriend hair… finally someone who knows what he is doing. Thumbs up!

Would like to f around with some of the barbers on Garnet. Why aren’t you guys on Slickville? Thank you, SIR!!!

My husbands go to spot. They always trim him up just right. Be sure to schedule an appointment as they fill up fast, especially if you want Jason. All of my husband’s east coast friends go here and swear by this place. NO CELL PHONES. Classic barbershop, so I’ve heard.

Best barbershop in SD. If you like an old school cut, its the place. They have 2 locations, one just up the road towards La Jolla. Book in advance yo.

I have to say I was very disappointed with my haircut. I’ve gone a couple times here and got mediocre haircuts hoping the next time would be better. Just got my most recent haircut and have never so disappointed with my hair. Cool shop, nice barbers, but mediocre haircuts

Awesome experience. In and out in a flash and so happy with the cut. Chuck did a great fade and was able to read the dimensions just right. No nonsense, no muss, no fuss. Will definitely be going back. Happy to have found my new barber.

Been going to Leftys for a few months now. This place is on point.
If you want a fresh fade like DJ Khaled, then you go to Lefty’s.
Chuck always hooks me up with a beautiful cut.
I’m always happy when I leave Lefty’s, dabbin all the home!!!

Found Lefty’s by searching «San Diego barber Instagram» and saw some stuff I liked. Went ahead and made an appointment with David at around 1pm and he got me in and out in about 20 minutes.
Unlike your cookie cutter style hair shop (i.e. Supercuts) these guys actually give a shit about how you want it done and the best way to achieve it. David worked with me on fine tuning the cut and I am more than pleased. Haircut was $ 19 and I bought some pomade they had for $ 10, so with tip it came out to $ 33.
To sum it up, great attention to detail and a damn good price. Have at least some idea of what you want before walking in. Their shop is badass with mounts and photos on the walls. Good vibes and good people.
They made a new regular of me today.

Best barbershop I’ve ever been to and I’ve lived in a couple different cities. It’s a great haircut for a very good price.

Jason is the man. Always get a great cut at a great price.

Chuck was awesome and skipped lunch to fit me in. He did a great job and it was clear he knew what he’s doing. I will definitely be back anytime I’m in the area. Book your appointment ahead of time, this place is booked weeks in advance.

Went in for a low taper and got my neck all messed up .cuts and rashes on my neck and side burns. I never get skin irritation. Guy looked like a noob and was in a rush. my cut took like 5 mins. wth… didn’t take his time like a usual 20 $ barber shops usually do.

Let me start off be saying both locations have gave me very POOR first impressions. Garnet was the 2^nd place I went to just 5 minutes after.
It started off okay, I was a walk in customer and they pencilled me in for a 130 slot (40min in the future) I said great and went around the corner to eat at an amazing Thai restaurant. I come back with a few minutes to spare and the other guys tell me my barber should be back any second.
He comes back a couple minutes late, but that’s no big deal. He was friendly enough. As I sit down in his chair, we exchange pleasantries and I begin to tell him I want a shave and haircut. As he’s pumping up the chair, he says sorry man, I only have time for either/​or. YOU didn’t book the right appointment. YOU should have said something. So all I hear is you screwed up; it’s your fault.
I tell him this is my first time here and nobody said anything. How was I supposed to know unless someone tells me? He answers well, I can only do one unless you want to reschedule for another time. I tell him this was my whole purpose today to get this done. All he says is sorry man.
So now after not being given any notice that I existed from the Cass location, and completely being blamed for this scheduling snafu here, I have a bad taste in my mouth. Will I try again in the future? I don’t know. Would you trust a guy with a straight razor on your neck after giving them a less than stellar review?!? Also, posted prices at location doesn’t match prices listed online.

If i could give 0 stars i would. The quality of cut was on par with Supercuts. Sad. I was hoping to get advice on how to style hair. That wont happen here.
The. I told the barber to follow the haircut and style I had and clean it up. He proceeded to cut my hair in a totally different style than what I wear now. Waste of my time.

I have been a patron here for almost 2 years and I always look forward to getting my haircut here. These guys definitely know their craft and do a fantastic job. I’ve gotten my haircut with JT (who sadly just left) and he always did an awesome job. They also do shaves there; I got one for my dad who flew in for Father’s Day and he loved it. Every time I told him I was getting a hair cut, he made sure to ask how my barber was.
Make sure you get an appointment about a week out, they fill up fast and it’s rare that you’ll be able to walk up and get a cut.
I seriously love this place and I’ll patron them as long as I live here in San Diego. It’s always great to head to PB, get a cut, and have a great chat with some fine old school barbers.

Great place. Barbers and patrons are super chill and they do a great job. The price is fair too.
Definitely call at least 1 week ahead if you are trying to get in for an appointment. Their schedule grow full quickly.

Best haircut I’ve ever had.
I got a haircut someplace else in PB because it was a Saturday and this place was too busy. I’d never been to Lefties but was hoping to get in based on the reviews. Long story short, I ended up coming here a week after the other haircut cause the other guy did such a bad job.
Douggie fixed my hair and without me having to say much, gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had in my life. Usual when I get a haircut, there’s always something I wish was slightly different. It’s like Douggie was reading my mind.
I’ve never left a review for a haircut before and I’m not the type of person who knows what number they want or how to describe it to the person cutting my hair.
I’ll probably be going back in at least once a month now. Hell, I’d even want to bring a friend visiting from out of town here cause it’s a pretty cool experience there — old school in all the right ways.

Once again a great haircut! I’ve been in Pacific Beach for two years now and discovered Leftys! This barbershop is old school and I like it! Four chairs in the shop and all the guys do a great job!
I made an appointment with Doug! Great guy! Always a great conversation with him! Doug has great skills! Bring him a pic or describe what you want and he does it to the tee!
Best part of the cut for me is he lines you up with a straight razor! I always leave looking fresh and clean!
Thanks Doug!

This is the spot to come to when you want a real barbershop haircut. This location was a barbershop since the 50’s and they kept the old school look to it.
Ive heard its hard to get a same day appointment but I called at about 10 am and they had a cancellation and could take me at 11 so I went straight over there had «W» cut me up. He understood and knew exactly what I wanted and it took about 20 minutes. they even use a straight edge at the end to clean you up.
Don’t forget that it is all cash.
