Hog’s Breath Barber Shop

I know this has been a Dublin staple for many for years but i recently within the last year or so tried them as we take our kids here for cuts. The new owners who took over have pumped a breath of fresh air into this place and it shows. ALWAYS packed on weekends. Many barbers and stylists. We now have our favs and ‘goto” people every time.
The prices are excellent.
The kids love getting their haircuts here and look forward to it. They are friendly and accommodating group of people who work quickly and efficiently. i have no issues waiting a bit on weekends as I know i will get a good clean fresh cut. They also utilize «old school» barber techniques giving a straight razor neck shave using warm shaving cream and to top it off everyone gets a «mini» massage/​neck and scalp rub with each cut. try and find that at your local Supercuts or wherever.

So I came here at 10:00AM. I was waiting for someone to bring me cash since they don’t do debit or credit.
After waiting for an hour and a half. They started taking other clients. When I told them I was ready to get a haircut.
Then they started talking in their own language saying negative things towards me and looking at me.
Then they tell me to leave for god knows what reason. None of these barbers are certified I just recently found out and I am going to report this place to the city.

Just got a haircut. I asked her to trim my beard too. She said she already had done a little (sideburns area) and I said yeah, do that to the rest. She nodded. Finished the haircut, didn’t touch the rest of the beard, and sent me on my way. She actually slapped my back to get me out of her chair. So, that went well.
!

So very sad as this is no longer a barber shop…
Didn’t know what a Mohawk was (btw #63 on your photo wall) and asked for a shave and the guy breaks out an electric shaver…
I mean seriously if I wanted that I’d just do it at home… #StraightRazorPlease

I have been maybe 20 times and have had just a haircut or combo cut and hot shave. Have been to 5 of the barbers, male and female, and I have to say they are all great at their craft. Yes, some are better than others, but I have never left unhappy.
I have been in only one uncomfortable situation when another customer and a barber got into an argument over discomfort from a straight shaving service. The owner immediately came over to offer new tools, apologize etc, but there was a major language barrier on both ends. A soldier in uniform actually had to step in to calm the customer down. Still, I left with a flawless fade that day.
Just note, you are getting well beyond what you pay for so tip well.

This place could quite possibly be the best shave of my life. They are a no nonsense barber shop.
Service is awesome. I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes to be served each barber has exceeded expectations. $ 12 for a clipper cut, quick with efficient service with a head massage to boot is a bonafide win.

Worse place I have ever gotten my haircut. Never coming here again. You spend 12 $ plus tip just for your neck to get cut.

Price is right. But when you ask for a different haircut and just trim a little bit and they trim a lot and give you the same cut I can only rate them 1 star.
Asian place. They barely speak English. My guy barely said one word to me the entire time. Had no real depth of English language. The other lady’s in their were just talking to thmeselves in a language other then English.
If your gonna advertise old school. Make English your first language if your going to work here and if it’s not at least be able to carry on a bit of conversation.

They shaved the sides of my head with a 0 clipper. I asked for a trim using scissors and a hard part! Clearly didn’t understand ENGLISH!
After the hard part with the clippers he ran the clippers at the base of my neck up the back of my neck. I stopped him but it was too late.
I’ll be wearing a hat for the next 3 weeks.

Best shave I have ever received in my life!!! I went back again after two weeks and had another shave. They are that good. Line was out the door but the lady took her time with me and I felt like a million bucks. I’ll be back. $ 25 for th hot towels and cream. Best money I ever spent a n a barber shop.

Worst place I’ve ever been too. Highly not recommended Amy gave me the worst haircut I have ever had not worth the 12bucks they ask for more like a 7 dollar in and out cut they try to make up for it with a massage if I wanted a massage I would have went to a masseuse I came to the barber shop because I wanted a haircut lines in fade not blended in and real patch work on the hair cut

WOW. First off i am VERY picky about barbers/​salons and im new to the area. I Unilocaled this place and it seemed to have good reviews.
I recommend this to any male that wants to look great. I got a #1 to #3 fade with tapered back. The lady cutting my hair was very meticulous, like she really took care when cutting. Very impressive looks great.
AND ITS ONLY $ 12. I tipped $ 8 because she was prompt, professional, pretty and gave a damn good cut. Comes with straight-​edge neck/​side shave and a short but nice neck massage.
Will be back.
In and out fast. No wait.
No appointments
Cash only

Let me preface this by saying that I’m both finicky and wholly indecisive when it comes to my hair, which makes satisfaction scarce at barbershops. This is my second time coming to hog’s breath and it’s become my favorite.
First: it’s 12 bucks (10 for kids). One-​two. Doce. Bara. Point being, it’s cheap.
Cheney (I think that’s how you spell it?) cut my hair today, and she was spectacular. I showed her a picture of Jake Gylenhaal’s High-​and-​Tight.
One «Say no more» later, I have one of the best haircuts I’ve had in a while.
A few things stood out: she adapted the style to my face, and it looked great, if dissimilar to the inspiration. The attention to detail was extraordinary and really contributed to a clean look overall.
My little brother also got a haircut, and he liked his, and his stylist seemed to be good with kids, so that’s another plus.
⁵⁄₅ for Hog’s Breath and Cheney in particular.

Nice old school cut at an affordable price you can’t beat.
attention to detail, reminds me of when I was a kid,
a true barber shop.

My husband just came home after getting his hair cut here and it looks like the person cutting his hair was training on him! I have no hairdressing skills, but I could probably do a much better job than her! After I showed him photos of his haircut, we both decided this is the last time we trust this place.

The first time i came here was the best, the guy cut my hair and it was perfect, it was exactly how i wanted it and he did it quick. But the other four times i’ve gone here they’ve always messed up my hair including today. They messed up my hair for prom one time and i didnt want to say anything. So today, The owner was telling the new girl, that she messed up, and she kept trying to fix my hair, IM VIETNAMESE I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU GO TO THE ONLY GUY HERE, he is great. I’m never coming back here ever again. Now with my hideous haircut i’m going to go jump of a bridge on how ugly it looks. I hate this place, do not come here unless you want to look ugly as hell. Also skip on the super uncomfortable «massage» it felt like a gorilla was giving me one.

Pretty decent spot. I found this place on Unilocal and have been coming in every other week since January for a fade. Even when busy, I don’t think I have waited more than 20 minutes. I have come first thing Saturday & Sunday mornings and walked right into the barber chair.
For $ 12 bucks, no one should be complaining. I have probably had each person there fade me up and it has come out fine each time. I guess the key is specificity, i.e. asking for a fade (you pick clip number for length) and request blending that low, medium or high.
Yes, they speak Vietnamese in the shop; that doesn’t necessarily mean they are talking crap. I’d rather just sit down, tell them what I want, get my hair cut, pay the $ 12, and get out.

Doesn’t matter who cuts your hair, it comes out good every time. I don’t know how many places I have been to where you have to know which person to get in order for a good cut. Not here.
Quick
Precise
Great price

Where do I begin, if I can give this place –5 stars I would. My regular barber has been out of the country for some time and she will not return until mid July. I found this place because of the Unilocal reviews. At my first visit, the place was crowded so I thought that they give decent haircut, and apparently what the most attractive part was the $ 12 for the regular haircut. While waiting for my haircut I observed many of the barbers who were using straight razors which is an oddity nowadays because of all the communicable diseases.
As I sat in the chair for my first cut, I asked my barber, Amy how they disinfected the razors and she gave attitude as if I knew what they did and then explained with an attitude. During my second and third visit I observed some concerning things. I have to agree with a previous review regarding their sanitation practices.
My last two visits, most recently today have been very disappointing. As you wait for your haircut, please observe the many barbers not cleaning their tools and using the same combs, and not spraying the razors with disinfectant spray which is required by not only their cosmetology school where their certified, but also by the health department.
Today I went with Amy again, stupid me, bcuz of great reviews. I asked her if she was going to disinfect the clippers that I witness her use on someone 30 seconds before me and she gave me an attitude and began to spray the clippers on multiple occasions as she was cutting my hair shooting the spray towards my back.
I grew up going to an old-​school barber shop on the that was owned by bunch of Old crusty guys and marking fun of the customers was commonplace and enjoyable, but at least they sanitized all of their equipment after each use, not like this place.
I want to make it clear, I am not a germaphobe so I challenge everyone that visits these barbers to be a little bit more observant between customers and see if all of the barbers or at least the one they chose is disinfecting their equipment, which includes clippers, combs, and getting new towels.
By the way, Amy is out of compliance with the State of Ca. She has no license displayed anywhere.

I went to this shop a few times because it is close to my house and it is cheap. The first few times I went it was fine. Then the problems started, a few complaints:
One of the women decided it would be nice to shave whatever baby hairs may have been on my ear!
They constantly talk speak in Vietnamese about the customers which is a bad feeling.
Lastly they had a new younger Asian make barber, when I asked for a low fade he BUTCHERED my hair. I even showed him the low fade picture! I mean the haircut he gave was so bad my legally blind aunt asked me what happened to me.
I told the main woman look what your guy did, and showed her the picture I asked for she didn’t even apologize. She offered a free but but out of pride I don’t take things for free. Horrible! Look
At the picture of my hair hahaha!
