I stopped in for my first time and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The best part was getting home and my daughter commenting, and not in a negative way. I’m assuming I was in the hands of the owner as he was requested (over the phone) by multiple patrons. I’d recommend this place, he had me in and out in minutes. After 27 years of cutting my own hair, I feel as though I’ve found my new barber…thanks to Benjamin’s.
When I moved to East County about 2 years ago, I hadn't considered that my favorite barber would now be 30 minutes away at the coast.
Initially I drove out of my way to get that same familiar service. Needless to say it was chewing up tons of time that I could have been doing much better things with.
Thus I began my search for a new barber.
After several fails with local barbers in Lakeside I was feeling disappointed and beat down by the lack of consistency with the haircuts I was getting.
One day on my way home there was a wreck on I 8 East and it was a parking lot. So I diverted to surface streets. My path took me past the corner at Second and Pepper in El Cajon. As I waited at the stoplight I glanced over and saw a little barber shop in the corner next to the gas station. It was time for a haircut so I quickly turned into the parking lot and walked in hoping that I would get a walk-in appointment.
Fortunately it was late in the day and Benjamin was just finishing up with his previous customer. He quickly set me down with a smile on his face. He was very welcoming. There across from my seat was a picture of his beautiful family. We started chatting and before long I was impressed with the amount of time Benjamin was taking to pay attention to all the little details as he worked his way through my hair. My haircut finished up with a straight razor shave of the back of my neck and a little after shave to send me on my way.
I hadn't taken a lot of time to examine the haircut because it was late in the day and I just wanted to get home. Immediately upon walking in the house my wife said WOW! Nice haircut! I looked it over and thought, yeah this guy did a really good job.
It's now been over a year and I've had several haircuts with Benjamin and his assistant. They always pay attention to detail. The haircut turns out fantastic and I couldn't be happier.
Additionaly I feel really good that I'm supporting a fellow San Diego resident and not some nationwide corporate haircut mill.
If you're new to East County and in need of a new Barber or just looking for a high-quality haircut. I highly recommend Benjamin's barber shop.
I have been coming to Benjamin’s barber shop for several years and this review is long overdue. Every time I come in I get a great quality cut at a great value. Very relaxed, clean, friendly, and professional environment. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great haircut. Best barber in all of San Diego!
Quick, clean, and affordable fade. Very happy with my experience.
Benjamin and his associates remind me of how good it feels to get a haircut, every time!
Been going since the pandemic, this spot is a diamond in the rough.
Call in advance for an appointment but love this spot for the time and attention to detail they put into every haircut.
They know how to cut. Very clean and very happy with my hair cut. I'm from out of town and would recommend this place to anyone, especially for you military type.
I’ve been going here for about 9 years and I’ve been satisfied by every haircut given. I used to trim the top and I always loved how it was. Now I grew out my hair and all I ask for is usually a skin fade and they are honestly amazing. After my haircuts people always ask me which barber I got to and I let them know. He’s comfortable with any hairstyle just make sure to be specific with what you want.
I’ve been going to this barber shop since I was a little kid. It’s a very respectable business that is clean and well managed. Unfortunately, I moved away and no longer go here, but I wanted to leave a review for the many years of haircuts. If you live in the area, this is the best place to go to.
