“ Got a haircut/beard fix-up/face shave from Carlos here and was super happy with it. I was on vacation but i usually do this all myself at home — the way Carlos did it is gonna inspire how i DIY it when i get home. If i return to San Francisco in the future and need a haircut etc. I’ll definitely go here! ”
“ Louie’s is a real good barber. Does a great job every time for me and my family definitely recommend him ”
“ I love Louie's. It's very closely intertwined with how I grew into SF, coming here only two months after my 18th birthday. I worked next door at Marcello's for four years during college. Don (now retired) was a regular friendly face. I had long hair for a decade, so I never actually needed a haircut until I turned the corner on 30. Ever since, I've been a regular patron of Steve, who is the longest active barber out of the current crew. He's fantastic as are all the barbers. My husband has been trimmed by all of them. My penchant for sticking with one barber is just something I picked up from my father. The atmosphere inside this place is so cool. The old school barber joint I went to as a kid in the 90s had one barber who would do one of three "styles", it was dusty, and at the time felt like a relic of the past soon to be taken over completely by Great Clips. Louie's shows the demand for these places is extremely high, and in the right hands can flourish. ”
“ This place is awesome. Super friendly barbers who care about the customer. Reasonably priced compared to other barbers in Castro who can be expensive. I always get my fade from Chico who has been my friend for the past 5 years. If you ever go here tell them that “Irish Marks” review promoted you to. They will take care of you for sure. Top class. ”
“ passing through San Francisco I had my hair done at louie's barbershop topissime if you need a haircut go there ”
“ I've been here many times before Charles and Steve are the best. It's hard to understand me and what I want, but Charles did exactly what I wanted. He used "Deva technique " dry cut for curly hair I wasn't very sure in which direction was going on, but I trusted the process. Will come again for sure. ”
“ S. Charles is an excellent barber and cleaned me up real nice. He takes his job seriously, and I was so excited and rejuvenated to see the excellence of his work and have my beard cleaned up. Great iconic shop too ”
“ Really enjoyed my haircuts here from multiple barbers ”
