the barber lounge

This is a hip, warm and friendly place to get all of your pampering. Greg has been cutting my hair for years and I have watched him build this labor of love from the very beginning. Although the space itself is like being in a remarkable contemporary art museum, it is really the staff that make The Barber Lounge such a special place. You can feel the camaraderie the moment you arrive. I have many friends who go to the other talented barbers and stylists; each has his or her own following and I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

My first manicure and pedicure were at The Barber Lounge, and I can highly recommend both Mi Won and Hoang. I am trying to convince my male friends of the importance of this kind of grooming...and it is simply another relaxing way to get pampered.

I regularly get massages, and I would say the Mark Eron is the best masseur I have ever had. Mark is tall,strong, and personable and can get as deep into your aching muscles as you would like him to. He uses hot stones with his massage; the extra heat really allows the muscles to relax. Don't miss this experience!

It is always a treat going to the Barber Lounge with their great service, cool ambiance, and friendly front staff. I always leave feeling very relaxed (added bonus) and looking great with a fantastic cut and color!

I've been going to Greg for almost 10 years now, and even after moving to Texas, treat myself to a haircut with him every time I come back to the Bay Area. Anything else feels like cheating, and it's definitely never as satisfying. Now that he's opened the Barber Lounge, the whole experience is even that much better. Everything I could want (pedicure & facial!) under one roof. A one-stop shop at it's finest. And the space is gorgeous, spacious yet cozy, and the staff I've encountered so far have all been friendly and welcoming. You can't help but love it.

From the time you arrive, every comfort is provided. I was greeted by Greg, offered coffee, and invited to sit on the soft leather couch and red magazines until my appointment with Kurt. Everything about the shave was both satisfying and decadent. Kurt provided an excellent shave, very attentive and extremely thorough. He first trimmed my beard with an electric shaver, and then sculpted the edges free-hand. He followed with an excellent face massage, then hot towel wraps to soften and relax my neglected neck, and two straight razor shaves. Nothing was rushed. The results are excellent. The experience was everything that I expected, and hoped it would be.

A gentleman come to me, introduce himself and bring me to the famous Barber Chair. There I sat for one hours and 1/2. you probably asking yourself in what conditions was I. Well I had not shaved for two days. I could not been that bad.He told me that he will trimmed my bear with a trimmer . He then apply a hot shaving cream to my face, lefted for a couple of minutes. he then applied a hot towel to my face. Very soothing. He then proceed to apply another layer of hot shaving cream an started shaving. I could not understand by the feel of it , what instrument or tool he was using. I felt he was shaving one air at a time. No long strokes, very tiny movement. The all time I thought I woul open my eyes and I would look at myself different. The all time I had my eyes close,by face would be smooth, clean shaven with no razor cut and so on. Well the time came and when I look in the mirror I was in shock. First I thought that my mirror was like the one that make your face ten time bigger. Well I was again wrong . It was a normal mirror and my face was not clean shaven. I look like I had that bear for one day. I had spots, underneat my chin that were completely shavem, and parts that were just trimmed. The whole experience was shoking. I do not care about how much I paid. I was expecting more service oriented employees, more engaging and after all a clean shave. Unfortunately I could not recommend this place for a shave to anyone. I cannot critique the hair stylist or the owner. I did not meet them and I also did not experience the hair cut. I did however experienced the hot shave. I just wanted to share my experience with all of you. After all is called Barber Lounge.
