Philgood Cuts

One of my go to spots of 2 to get a fresh cut. All the barbers are talented and very friendly. Phil, the owner, is very professional and fun to get a cut from. The vibe is relaxing, with TV’s on showing sports and chill music playing too.

Tried them out for the first time today local guy from the neighborhood wasn’t impressed my hair cut was pretty basic and the guy took 45 minutes to cut my hair then on top it was ok just ok not the best cut I’ve ever had by far and the icing on the cake was do charge me $ 35 for a basic haircut but at least they take walk-​ins all I know is I won’t be back that’s for sure I guess I still got to keep hunting for a regular local barber to take care of my haircuts.

It makes me so happy to see my 14 year old son so satisfied with hes hair cut, its never happened before. Thank you for the great service you provide even when I’m not there.
thank you!!!

My 4 year old loves haircuts and he’s well behaved. The barber was really nice and did his hair justice. He has two swirls on the back that has given every other barber and hair stylist a hard time. I really recommend this place but I am torn about bringing my son back since he’s only 4 and without tip it was $ 30! It was a great haircut, but that much for a child seems excessive. I did have his hair cut there once before and it was only $ 18. Random. Overall nice people and easy going environment.

Poor Customer service.
None of these barbers are happy or seem like they want to be there. Do you really want a haircut from someone with this type of attitude. I don’t!!!
I came in one day to get a haircut and the guy that cut my hair did a decent job. Not great. I was worried about the cut half the time. He Didn’t have any communication with me except with the guy next to him who was talking about how drunk he got over the weekend. as he got to the end it came out alright. 20.00!!! Ok, Cool.
Soooo I decided to go back and get another cut. As soon as I walk in this time. I get cold stares, I didn’t feel like anyone wanted to help me. With a smile on my face, I ask do you take walk-​ins or appointment only? I get blank stares and then the guy up front asks the guy in the back if he’s available. Guy in the back pretty much acts like he was forced to cut my hair and says «yea». Before I sit down I ask can I use the restroom. I get this rude grunt and a yes… This same guy is suppose to cut my hair after I use the restroom?!!
Walking to the restroom I get a call and also forgot to close the door. At this point I have Everyone’s attention they’re yelling at me to close the door but Im on a call and I cant stop? So I walk out and I am still on my call. Then who I assume to be the owner or manager tells me to «hurry up» also that I need to close the door to the bathroom next time. I guess my presence or phone call bothered him so much that he Then he says «we dont have time for you today, leave!!» I didnt say a word I just walked out. Keep in mind no one was out there waiting. Waiting area Seats were empty there wasn’t any other person women or child… I thought that was a weak excuse to kick out a paying customer who is supporting your business. Again, none of these guys are happy to be there and it shows.
Poor Poor service. For all the trash talking they do leaving the restroom door open seems small and insignificant…
Weak BREHHHHHH!!!

I would give this 0 stars if I could. I have went to Philgood Cuts for about 1 year. I honestly do not recommend this barber shop due to the lack of communication and respect I have for this shop. I feel like the barbers didn’t really take their time cutting my hair. I found CJ using the trimmers very rough on my head. They also didn’t offer a great environment to receive a decent haircut. They talk shit there.

Good spot! I go to CJ for that «6 am» cut. Everybody is friendly and this place has a chill atmosphere.

Got a cut from CJ. He did an excellent job! A+++

Nuttin better then feeling at home! Chopinitup wit folks and fam! Gettin cut up! Make an appoiment! & don’t cancel! Cuz you’ll be lookin like funny cuts! but on the real! Good Barber Shop Phil

My son got a fade and loved it. He said Phil was really nice and can’t wait to go back.

Wanted to give CJ a shout out. I walked in there after a prank last weekend, and let’s just say I won’t be loosing my job thanks to him! Good lookin out bud! Really appreciate it!
My review: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Would refer and one I know

I been coming here since they opened. Through all those years, I never had any problems getting an appointment and my haircuts are always on point. This shop is always clean, lots of free parking, TVs, magazines and a friendly staff. There’s even 2 liquor stores next door to get food and smacks while you wait. What I love about Philgood cuts is the relationships they make with their customers. They are real sincere when having convos with their clients. They make you feel like you’re a part of their family and they are very good with kids.
Quick tip: I know they do walk ins but sometimes they’re swamped so I recommend making an appointment.

These guys are awesome! I bring my son here to get his hair cut by Phil himself! My son is 5 years old and is antsy in any situation that requires him to sit still! Not here at Philgoodcuts…
Phil has a way of always engaging my son in conversations that somehow keeps him motionless for his haircut! I love it! My son always tells me how he loves going to Philgoodcuts and being there is cool to «kick it with the guys!» — really??? Anything for my baby I guess!
I also brought my step daughter in with me once as my son got his cut. It was last minute but she wanted a design; they didn’t blink to take her. I don’t know the Filipino guys name that did her star but his skills were on point! I watch all the barbers do their thing as my son gets his cut and I have to say, they all impress with their talents!!!
Thanks guys at Philgoodcuts for always making my family feel welcomed and my son feeling like a man!

Been going here for over 2 years getting cut by Justin, I have crazy Biracial hair that grows in hella different directions and inexperienced and experienced barbers have had some tough times but from day one Justin has had me right from Tapers, Fades, Mohawks, Burst fades, Pompadours, Pompahawks and the many other cuts i’ve got in the over 2 years I been getting cut I get nothing but compliments.
Sometimes there is a wait but what place that provides a service do you go in and not expect a wait??? Especially when the place is busy, to me thats just a good sign to a great service. I’ve seen every type of person in the shop from older people to kids, hipsters to hood cats it is what it is it’s a barber shop theres going to be shit talking and MAN conversation unless woman and kids are present then these guys keep it respectful.
I’ve never seen a bad cut walk out of this place and I’m there every 2 weeks if not every week some months depending on the style i’m rocking, I get my hair done by Justin exclusively but honestly the day I slide through and need a cut and he isn’t there i’d feel more than comfortable having any barber in the shop give me a cut.
Do yourself a favor end the search and hit these dudes up ASAP.

Terrible, terrible hair cut. I have no clue why these guys have such high ratings ! Me thinks, there are certainly lotsa fake reviews here ! I had to go here, since my regular barber didn’t have anything open, and I was long overdue a hair cut. I so regret goign here. The hair cut they gave me can be described by one word — GHETTO. I had given then explicit instructions, and he still got it wrong. This is not a cheap place. At 30 bucks a hir cut, you expect a crtain quality. My hair cut was so bad that my wife suggested that I get it cut again from another stylist.

My main barber for 10 years hasn’t been in his shop for a while and I’ve spent the past few months bouncing around other shops in the Daly City/​South City area. I realized I’ve been going to the same guy for so long, I don’t really know how to explain how I like my hair cut. Between not finding solid barbers, and not knowing how to explain my hair (I’m really not THAT picky, I just want a good taper and some hair left up front that I can spike up), I have yet to find a barber that I have been happy with (and it doesn’t take a lot for that).
Finally I asked my friend where he gets his hair, and he recommended Philgood. After looking at Unilocal reviews I was worried about being able to get a cut since I was short on time, I called in and asked if I needed an appointment they said no, and to come in. 15 minutes later I was in the shop and there was one other person getting a haircut and 3 barbers just waiting for customers (granted this was a Tuesday around 2pm). Phil was my barber, he said he remembered me from the phone and I showed him some pictures on my phone of how my hair was cut before and he said no problem. He was very confident and got to work, almost immediately I noticed he had a HUGE attention to detail and was very intensely focusing on the work at hand (my head). There were a few other barbers that day just hanging around waiting for customers (I’m guessing this is rare, since it sounds like this place is always busy) and I was expecting to pay a lot more for my cut, when he told me the price I couldn’t believe it (only $ 5 more than my old barber) and it was well worth it. Super fresh cut for a trip to Vegas and a great 5-​star experience, thanks Phil, I’ll definitely be back soon.

Rating: NEGATIVE 5 Stars
If only Unilocal would let us give negatives!!!
This place sucks! Came in one day and while there was at least 3 dudes in the shop and their chairs were EMPTY they couldn’t take a client. WTF is that all about??? Supposedly they take walk-in’s but I always hear them telling people to make appointments. Even if you go there 10 minutes before your actual time slot they STILL have you waiting 40 + minutes. The place is very disorganized, their choice of music sucks, magazines are wack and these dudes are very unprofessional.
Unilocalers beware!!!

Justin was my barber and I am pleased with the cut. He is my new barber now. I highly recommend his service.
Tip/​Dip

so here’s the 411, after growing my hair out for over two years, I decided it was time for a change and chop it all off. New Years Eve I came in and they were booked solid. This was a good sign that they’re good at what they do, as indicated on Unilocal.Being antsy for my new look for the new year, I decided to go to a local salon on nearby Grand Ave instead. My cut was mediocre, so three weeks later I made the trip back to PhilGood to get the hair cut that I wanted.
Tom, the man who cut my hair, was nice, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to. He was very thorough with what I wanted from my hair cut. He took baby steps trying different tapers, as I like the more old school pompadour styles. Needless to say, I now have the best haircut of my life and even with thick curly hair its still very manageable in the morning when I don’t have time to fix it. 4 stars because the cut was worth $ 25 on account of the $ 5 scissors charge, but in all honesty I love my haircut and it was well worth the money. I’m just a bit stingy ;)
Will definitely return when I need it tapered again!

Philgoods is a great place to get a flawless looking fade. The lineups are clean, and they pay great attention to detail.
I had my hair cut by Manny, he’s a great guy who will make sure you get exactly what you want. I highly recommend you make an appointment with him. I made an appointment for a Sunday morning, had to wait thirty minutes but it’s all good — it’s worth the wait. It’s a good sign when a place is busy right?
This is probably the best place to go for a cut in the Peninsula if you want your fade done RIGHT!
