Where can I find pricing info?

Go to the website, choose a location, then a barber. The price list will pop up for that stylist. Keep in mind Senior Barbers charge approx $20 more for a haircut and a higher rate for other services (beard trim, shave, etc.).

Management reached out and they heard me out an explained what happened. Apparently, the number on their site (and yelp) is handled by a call center. So if you call, you're not calling the actual shop. Get their text number from them directly and any issues will be handled much more smoothly.
I'm still waiting for the experience that will blow me which screams 5 stars. But rest assured, when dealing with the management, staff and the barbers, you'll be happy.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

That's about right for this spot. You can come and get a decent cut for a decent price point. These days it seems all places are super chic salons and charge like it.
But it's the service that frustrates me. I was late for my appointment and called back their number (which they had used to call me about my appointment). I was en route and the attendant kept pushing my call to a voicemail instead of speaking with me. When I arrived they cancelled my appointment (and they didn't acknowledge my phone calls).
The barbers-stylists here are cool but the support staff act like this is a nightclub that you're lucky to get into. So yeah, an average experience here... - Oct 19, 2023
I decided to take a chance on this barber shop, even though I usually steer clear of them due to past haircut disappointments. I asked for a simple trim on top and a short cut on the sides, maintaining the same overall shape. Unfortunately, my experience reaffirmed that many barbers excel at fades but struggle with cutting the top.
Initially, I had bangs and wanted a neat yet slightly messy look. The barber agreed without asking enough questions or clarifying the plan. This lack of communication was my first warning sign.
Years of experience don't always translate to improved skills. This barber seemed stuck in outdated techniques, a common problem in the industry. If you're seeking a standard fade and don't mind the price, this place might suit you. However, I paid a premium rate for what was, AT BEST, a $40 (with tip) haircut. I left with a $75 bill and a $15 tip, appreciating the effort but not the outcome.
I don't fault the individual barber; the blame lies with the establishment for allowing subpar service at such high rates. Complaining won't reverse the scissors' work, however, I warn others seeking customized styles to be prepared for short hair and a basic haircut that reflects outdated techniques.
My hair will grow back, but I won't be back.

I think Fellow should charge $40 for a short cut. $75 is too high. All the photos and website show barbers washing hair, but I haven't seen a barber wash hair in 4+ years. For no wash, and for the quality, Fellow is super overpriced.

Got a really good cut from Niamke, who also gave me pretty clear guidance on how he was going to cut my hair. After suffering with mediocre and overpriced barbers in the South Bay, this cut felt like a huge improvement. Already gotten a lot of compliments, too.

I've been getting my hair cut by Nick for several years now and I'm always happy with the results. Nick has a great personality and always willing to engage in conversation during the haircut. When it comes to getting the cut, Nick is attentive and receptive to my needs while also confident in offering his own opinion when appropriate.
While I've been with Nick for several years, I only started going to Fellow Barber within the last year. So far I've been happy with their facility, staff, and services. I'm always greeted in a friendly manner when I arrive and there was even one occasion, I was a few min late and they called me to make sure I was okay and still coming.
Booking is straightforward. You can book ahead on their website and select a location, time and barber. You'll know your total before checking out and then will be billed after your cut is over. They also have all the venmo QR codes for their barbers so you can conveniently tip them that way!Helpful 11Thanks 0Love this 13Oh no 0 - Becca J.San Francisco, CA34188Jan 16, 2023
I just have to say six stars for Lily Mai. We followed her here from another salon and would follow her anywhere!
But the people who run Fellow Barber... a huge miss. The guy at the front desk was standoffish, not smiling or warm, not very nice, and made us feel unwelcome from the minute we checked in. For paying $88 for a haircut not including tip, I think we can expect stellar service and accommodations. When we used to go to Peoples, we would pay $30 less and get a whisky or some coffee. Here, they only had an empty water container and when we told the guy he was weird and rude about it. Overall, if Lily moves salons we will not think twice. Lily is with the money but I'm kind of pissed at the lackluster service we received from everyone else.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Sam. I'm the guy that had his bag stolen from your barber shop. I'd like to share my experience.
Earlier this week I booked an appointment at Fellow Barber. I've walked past it more than once and it seemed like a place that I'd like to get my hair cut. The short version is this is what happened. https://video.nest.com/clip/98627f173ded44bf9b8a3ee7c15f3ab0.mp4?fbclid=IwAR3N69JA3j4njEF0Fp6Xx_Soz-DVSKTh3c3aZaWd0-yH2fYyInsEKGHurUc
They comped my haircut. They sent me this link. And they (you Sam, almost definitely) decided to not reimburse me for the property that was stolen in the above video. Consider this when you choose a barber.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - A F.Los Angeles, CA12Nov 21, 2023
Shan W. has been my barber for over 7yrs and I have never had a bad cut or experience. Not ever!
So when I noticed a review by Dan E., i had to speak. People like Dan E. astonish me. They'll sit down, get a cut that they later claim was horrible but say nothing to the barber or the front desk (hmm wonder why?), then they'll even tip (why tip if you aren't satisfied??) then post a review against the only black woman in the shop.
(And claim that they're not blaming the barber yet putting her name up there - yeah, that doesn't cover your prejudice.) And All to get a free coupon or discount or a Yelp elite badge, was it? I hope Fellow Barber saw right through your bs and didn't give you anything. And, I hope that the next time you sit in a barber's chair you not only can afford the cut and tip, but you also use your words like most men are able to do instead of coming on here trying to ruin someone's reputation by acting like an entitled jerk because you flunked out of barber school or couldn't get hired as one or whatever, all so you can score a freebie.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information
