Rick’s Barbershop

Thought they closed at 6 but sign said 5 up front. Showed up at 4:50 and they were happy to have me get some work done. Well done and quick. Thanks guys.

These guys are great! This was my first visit, the barbers are very friendly and quick, and I got one of the best cuts of my life! I’m definitely going back! There might be people waiting ahead of you but be patient, it’s worth the wait!

Wait tends to be long but for good reason — solid cut at an extremely reasonable price.

NEVER AGAIN — Will I ever go to this pathetic business.
I arrived at Ricks this morning at 7:15 AM to wait for a haircut with Caesar. At 7:55 a nephew arrived to say that Caesar was off and Rick wasn’t coming in until 12pm.
No sign letting anyone know the schedule. No apology. I’m done!
Goodbye Ricks! I no longer have time to wait in line for you to show up late because you can’t find a parking spot. I’ll pay three times what you charge for a hair cut and get an appointment and pay a tip.
Some people work for a living and don’t have time for your foolishness and efforts to sabotage your own business.

Finally! A REAL barbershop. I have taken my 13 year old son to several of these fancy shmancy «barbershops» around this city and every time… EVERY time, they eff it up. Plus, I had to pay a gazillion bucks. Took him to Rick’s today around 1ish, the sign said closed but he was in there, finishing up a fella. He waved us in, and there ya have it. He had all the tools necessary, no hype. Just a good, old fashion shop. We told him he wanted to keep it long on the top, but short around the back and sides. He asked if we wanted it tapered, and away he went. A perfect haircut that took 15 minutes. No funky chunks, no random layers, not shorter than what we asked for, just a great haircut.
Highly recommend!

Been going to Rick’s since I was a like 12 or 13 (i’m in my 30’s now) until I moved to NYC but I try to go everytime i’m back in the bay.
Rick cuts clean and consistent! Never fails and is the best barber in town!

Rick and Cesar both know how to cut really really well. And Cesar is like 62! Dude looks like he’s 40. Apparently 62 is the new 40, but only if you’re some classy Filipino dude with curly locks. Otherwise 62 is just gross. A cut is only $ 14 and well worth it, make sure you take pictures of what you want. If you’re not sure, just Google «disconnected undercut» and go with it. You’re welcome.

Legit. $ 15 for a straight cut no frills. Clean up with straight razor and hot towel. And the best part, a shoulder massage. A mans barber. It’s a two man operation and the seats are always full but the waits (20−25min) are worth it. It does get super busy on some days with folks out the door. It’s affordable enough to get a fresh cut every 2 – 3 weeks to keep you from looking grizzly and frizzly. They cut super fast with super skills.

Cheap & quick cuts. Typical classic shop. Magazines. Short massage at the end. Done. Easy.

Rick’s is great, you just have to time it right. The barbers are solid and the price is right, so you’ll often see four occupied waiting chairs. if you have no where to go, its worth the wait, simply tell the barber you’ll be right back after you get a cup coffee. It’ll help pass the time.

Rick’s Barbershop is a hidden gem on Geary. It’s a hole in the wall with only a few seats, so expect to wait especially if you visit the establishment on the weekend or really anytime in the afternoon.
Rick is a great barber. I would certainly advise knowing the basics of the barbershop: inches to take off, nape, arch, etc.
It’s $ 15 for a regular cut and by far, one of the best values I have encountered in the city. Rick is the man and he will be my go-​to since moving here.

I converted from hair salons to barbershops recently. Before I came here, I was worried the atmosphere would be too «broy». Turns out, Rick is super friendly and just generally a good guy who enjoys what he does & does it well.
Be sure to do your homework and figure out the cut you want beforehand. Get acquainted with lingos like taper, nape, arch… etc, and learn how to specify the texture & sideburn style you want.
This is not the kind of place where you flip through fashion magazines and have a style consultation. If you want that, go to a regular salon.
Got my hair cut and out of the door in 15 minutes. The cut is clean yet stylish. Not much more I can ask for.

Today I was in the Inner Richmond area and I saw this barber shop. I really needed a haircut and Rick did a really terrific job with me. I would not expect such a wonderful place in the Inner Richmond as I have tried at least 5 or 6 other shops and I was not happy with how fast they chop your hair to get you out. Rick’s Barbershops is different from the chain chop shops that I really hate going to. I usually get my haircut every three or four weeks so I will be coming back often. Rick’s amazing service has won me over and has ended with my search for a reliable barber shop in the Inner Richmond.

I have no idea. They close at 5 on Saturday. Not six. But this is my local barber so I’m betting in the right direction.

I started going to Rick and Cesar’s when I was in middle school. I’m now a 31 year old man, and I still love going to them and their tiny little hole in the wall barbershop on Geary. They’ll get you a nice haircut quickly and efficiently, while also having some hilarious small talk.
Advice to those that have never been here, you will have to wait unless you are there the first thing in the morning. This place has gotten more and more popular as time has gone on, and now people from all over the city and Bay Area have seemed to discover these guys due to Unilocal

Bomb-​tastic.
I loathe getting groomed. It makes me feel like a damned horse. The salons… or whatever… I’m usually dragged into whenever my squeezie deems me to be too unkempt are unpleasant spaces for me. You know those pictures you see sometimes of little kids crying when they get their first haircut? Well, that’s how I feel throughout the whole experience.
This place is a breath of fresh air if you’re a dude (or a person of generally dude-​ish disposition).
To wit:
*No appointments
*Walk in, sit down, shut the fuck up and wait your turn (there are newspapers and magazines in a holder under the window… be a man and get one of those and don’t bug me)
*They’ll get to you in order (you can also chill outside, just make sure you catch the eye of one of the barbers; they are paying attention and they do enforce the line)
*You get «nodded» into one of the two chairs and one of the two dudes asks what you want.
*Mission «Haircut» accomplished
Haircut $ 13 and, while I understand the perspective of other reviewers who say it’s not a $ 50 haircut, I will tell you it’s the best haircut I believe I’ve ever received. On the one hand, take that last little bit about «best haircut» with a grain of salt (consider the source), on the other hand, like all first-​worlders, I have had the need to drop dough on hair shit for various formal occasions, so I’m not a complete noob.
One note, they use a straight-​edge razor to do a touch of cleaning around the back of your neck and ears, but they don’t actually do a full hot-​towel, straight-​edge shave. If that’s what you want, go to Dick’s International.

These guys are great. An old time barber shop, a classic. Still uses a straight razor. I hope they never change…

No reservations so be prepared to wait. The cuts are good and strait-​forward. This is definitely a «Mans Man» type of place. No frills, no decadence, just a good old fashioned hair cut and a hot shave.
Gentlemen if you’ve never had a hot shave I implore you to indulge. Then buy a properly tailored suit, order a nice rib eye (bone in obviously) and a quality scotch. Boom. Instant man day. But make sure you start it sporting the right kind of hair cut from here.

I’ve been coming to this little hole in the wall for some time now. These two brothers are great at what they do. Awesome atmosphere and a cool spot to chop up some conversation with just about anything.
The job they do is quick and simple and the best part after is these guys still give you a shoulder massage. Very few shops I know of still provide service like that. I highly recommend this shop, but be prepared to wait since the shop isn’t very spacious and the line gets some what long at times.

It might seem crazy what I’m ’bout to say …
