Silver Clipper Barber Shop

Vi is really amazing. Her careful techniques really allow a guy to enjoy a cut. She is so smooth with a razor cut I can relax. She will even perfect the edge of an eyebrow. I feel like I’m in the old west, but in a modern way. Shop was just remodeled. The male barbers are good too, but I wait for my favorite. Vi is in after her morning classes lately.

Pretty good hair cut. They definitely take their time. This place beats most places in price if your looking for your weekly cut. I’ve never had to wait for more than 10 or 15 minutes. I will be going back.

I’m new to Oceanside so I’ve been looking for a good barber. I’ve been to quite a few that put a bad taste In my mouth. Came here since its next to my house and it was a gem! The nice lady gave me a great cut and great service I will be coming back!

Great place to get your haircut. If your in a hurry don’t come here because they take their time and go slow.

This review is NOT personal; purely based on quality of service.
Went in for standard haircut and was greeted by 1 of 3 Asian men who seemed bored out of their mind. (Since I myself am Asian, I’m very skeptical of haircuts provided by Asian men. Not saying they’re all terrible, but I have had bad experiences.) Based on his broken English and awkwardness, I was worried that he wouldn’t understand what I wanted. Luckily, he did a pretty good job, but not perfect.
Now, here’s where I put this place on blast. Without even asking me, he begins to prep my face for a facial. I ask if this is part of the haircut and he says «yes» numerous times. He goes on to give me a razor shave and I start to think this place is cool for including it with the cut. During the cut, the dude is super unhygienic, coughing up a storm in my face. His buddies decide that they’re super bored and go take a smoke break and came back smelling like ash trays. Oh it’s not done yet, they decide to hang out around MY barber while they converse like high school girls, even getting my barber involved while he was working on me.
Finally, it’s all done. I ask how much the cut was and the guy tacks on an extra $ 5 for the facial. I tell him that he said it was included and he just responds «yes…$ 5» Wow. I should have known he didn’t know what I was asking. I just bit my lip and paid it all up.
Average cut + gross barber + nasty environment + terrible communication = 1 STAR
Guys, unless you’re looking for a buzz/​military cut, look elsewhere. Just trying to warn my brothers out there.

I really like this place. My haircut gets done well and you get an awesome straight razor grooming. Not sure if this is because I usually come in when it’s not busy, but getting ear and nose hair trimmed with a cut for 12 bucks is an awesome deal. Seriously, I’ve never had someone take a straight razor to my nose and ears before. Maybe I’m a novice! Either way, I’ve found my barber and I’m stoked.

So I’ve been to a few barber shops (not what you’d call a pro) but the service and value here was stellar.
The shop was very clean.
The price menu simple
$ 12 civilian
$ 10 military
When I walked in, I saw a customer getting a facial (shave and massage). I thought, I wonder how much that is? I didn’t see it on their simple menu so I was going to ask once my hair cut was done. Turns out it’s included.
I was used to paying $ 15 without. $ 12 with, I’m going to become a regular here.

Best haircut in North Country. Best barber is Giao. He is a professional with a keen eye for detail. Expect to sit in the chair awhile, this is no gun and run operation. I am retired Marine with a wife that is more critical than me, she is impressed with Mr. Giao. The shop offers senior and military discounts. They also offer free water and soda.
When you get out of the chair you feel like a new man.

Best haircut I’ve had in years. I usually use the barber closest to the front door. He is great. Believe his name is Gao. I went one time on his day off and another barber took care of me and was equally as impressive. I am a barber aficionado. Grew up in chicago with barber on my corner. I know good haircuts. I’ve been to all the fake 30 dollar haircut barbers through SD since moving here. All bogus. This guy charges 12 bucks for a full treatment haircut and I believe 12 bucks for a straight razor shave. I highly revommended

The jerk white dude doesn’t work here anymore, so that is definitely a plus. They offer free bottled water and soda, which is nice. It’s not the quickest cut you’ll get, they like to use a straight razor on the back of your neck, ear lobe and forehead. I even had my inner ear cleaned out. Not necessarily what I was looking for, but the service is included in your $ 12 cut. A damp towel pat-​down finished it off. My quality of hair cut was OK. I’ll come back again…

Place is under NEW OWNERSHIP! So if the other reviews scare you, read this one, as it’s after the new owners have taken over and therefore more accurate of what YOU will receive!
I’m writing this review on my husband’s behalf because he does not Unilocal,and l just couldn’t keep secret what a great quality gem this place is! That would just be robbing the people of an equally great quality experience! It’s also a «mom n pop» place, and if they’re wonderful, l do what l can to support them.
My husband is active duty military, and usually (not anymore, thanks to this place!) went on base to get his haircuts. The last few times I would be fixing the cuts because they had a lot of stray flyaways. He had also been to numerous (read: a ton!) barbers off base as well but hadn’t found a high quality barber.
Well now he has! He came home ecstatic (yes, a big ol’ grin on his face and excitedly told me how cool his experience was) and told me that not only did they give him an excellent cut, (and yeah, l do vouch for it also, as l’m hyper critcal of his head – hello! I see it everyday! Lol) but they also shaved his whole face with a straight razor! He even divulged that they –ahem!- trimmed his ear hair! Not only the stuff inside, but the soft peach fuzz covering it, lol. Making them unbelievable soft. Who knew?
He also was stoked that he didn’t now have to wait forever with younger Marines to get his haircut in a «wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am» sort of way. He said that the guy was super nice, but English was a bit limited, so be patient! When the service AND results are this good… just sit back and enjoy!
Everything he received was for $ 10! He was expecting it to be more due to receiving so many services. And also said he wasn’t sure if he was given a discount for military, but he told me that because of how inexpensive it was, he gave him a fat tip. He exclaimed it was the BEST haircut he’s gotten and was surprised it wasn’t from a place closer to base.
His review: AMAZING!

I’ve started going here about 2 months ago. The barbers name is Audi (yes, just like the car). He works on Wed, Thur & Fri. Being a Marine (Vet not active duty), I’ve went from BIC’ing my scalp to growing my hair out & went into this place not exactly knowing what to expect (because if you don’t know the barber you don’t know what you’re in for). But Audi took the extra time to give me one of the best Medium Regulation (Marine speak for business style) cut I’ve had. I suggest you try this guy at least once — I’m sure you’ll be back.

Barbers and auto mechanics. Find the right one and never stray. Ever. THat’s one thing my father taught me at an early age. And that’s one thing I learned the hard way by going to this place.
WORST. HAIRCUT. EXPERIENCE. EVER.
As far as the hair cut went, I was left with my left side flat, and my right side all lumpy. It looked like I had one of those Fur trapper earmuffs on my head, but only on my right side. I actually had to take scissors to my hair as soon as I got home. I didn’t want him to fix it. I just wanted out. ASAP. My typical haircut goes: buzzzz. snip snip. buzz sideburns. blow off excess hair with hair dryer. done. tip. see you next time. But not here. It took 45 minutes of I don’t even know what he did. How could a 10 minute cut go into the 45^th minute? Not exactly sure. But I wanted out. And I wanted out ASAP.
As if tugging and pulling at my hair with dull scissors for 35 extra minutes wasn’t enough, I had to literally hold my breath for the entire duration of my haircut.
Why you ask? Maybe it was because the short, old Vietnamese dude had the worst cigarette breath I’ve ever had the displeasure of being breathed on. Or because he actually coughed on my head with said cigarette breath. Or because he had no qualms about putting said cigarette smelly mouth within 3 inches of my face. I was just dying to get some fresh air after the first 2 minutes, not knowing there wasn’t 8 more minutes to go, but 43 minutes of cutting, then cutting again, then cutting some more, then almost just shaving all my hair with a buzz clipper. Really. He ALMOST shaved my head into a MO hawk.
«You wann duh MO hawk right?»
«no… I said I wanted a spike, but I’m gonna spike it like *this* into a faux hawk so you can leave the front a little bit longer by ¼ inch»
«Yes, MO hawk»
«No, FAUX hawk»
«yes, MO hawk, it go lak *DIS*»
«no… I don’t want a MO hawk… can you just… just… cut it all to like an inch… no mo hawk…»
«no mo hawk? but you said you want mo hawk»
Like I said. Worst haircut experience ever.

Saw that this place didn;t have any reviews so I thought I’d try it out and share the experience.
It was OK. They don’t take credit cards so I had to use the ATM inside the place. The haircut cost $ 16. They do offer discounts for military.
Haircut — very happy with the haircut I received. I felt there was more attention to detail here than what I’d typically get at Sports Clip. They did an especially great on the side and back of my head.
Service — solid. I was seen right away and was able to pay quickly. I didn’t have to wait around at all.
Experience — meh. Good lighting but it just felt a little lackluster in there. Nothing was memorable and I didn’t feel a great connection with the barber that made me feel like I absolutely, positively had to go back in the future. There is a TV in there.
I would recommend them for their ability to cut hair. I think they’re open until pretty late every night (I believe 9pm but I’m not 100% sure about that), which is pretty convenient.
