Brogan and Son

This place is awesome! The environment, the conversations, the service and the drink, always on point!
I was looking last week for something new and received one of the best haircuts in a long time. The guy who cut my hair was precise and paid attention to the small details on my face. They have good hair sense and will make your cut look good for your hair and face type. I could definitely tell people who work there really enjoy what they do, delivering super high quality cuts. Give them a shot!

I was visiting SF on business and I was needing a cut. Called Brogan and Son and got in same day with Tim the barber. Haircut was great and we got in a few laughs too. I would come back for sure.

Ask for Francesco.
He’s very skilled at what he does, I would definitely recommend him if you need a haircut or beard done.

I really want to like this place — I love the atmosphere and the lighting is on point! I went here for the first time a few weeks ago and I just walked in and thought I’ll get a haircut and see how it goes. Sadly, the barber I got was so bad… he butchered my hair. I asked for a low fade on my sides and he just cut the sides all one length and too high up on each side. and then I asked for a trim off the top and he took half the length off! It was pretty bad. I will go back here but just try out a different barber.

I get cut by Tim every 5 – 6 weeks. He has a great manner and remembers my cut. Pleasant sports chat and personal interest.

I see Ken at this place but everyone seems to be engaged and putting out good work. Very clean. A good value. Overall, a younger vibe compared to most of the barber shops in the 94 104.

I’m very particular about my hair, and was extremely pleased with the job that Francesco did at Brogan and son.
He was meticulous, took his time, and made sure every detail was attended to.
Got a great fade and will definitely go back!

Just got my haircut here today with Francesco and i loved it! He knows what he’s doing as you can see, very professional and just as expected! The place is well located and the staff really cool! Thanks for the great experience!

This place is awesome! Beers, casual conversations, and great haircuts! The environment is casual and service is always on point!
I dropped in last week and received one of the best haircuts in a long time from Davide. He was precise and paid attention to the small details on my fade. He has good hair sense and will make your cut look good for your hair and face type. I could definitely tell he really enjoys what he does delivering super high quality cuts. Give him a shot! You’ll be in good hands!

I had heard a lot of good things about this barber shop. My husband had a gentlemen named Erik cut his hair. He did a fantastic job! My husband has been getting complements left and right! I highly recommend Erik for a perfect cut.

I have been looking for a place to get a good haircut and beard trim in San Francisco for about a year. Each place I tried was either an incredibly expensive hipster hell or cheap and nasty. Brogan and Son is neither. All the staff are really friendly, the place was clean, and it just has a good atmosphere.
I have been back twice now and each time I have seen Francesco. He is a super nice guy that obviously cares about the quality of his work. The haircut and beard trim I have had from him has been the best that I have had in years. I am so pleased to have found a quality barber shop in SF.

It’s been a long and winding road for me, as far as haircuts go. (BTW, that would make a great first line in a song…) The problem in SF is that most places fall into one of three categories: (1) basically a salon; (2) urban hipster faux old fashioned; (3) two 60-​something Italian dudes and a jar of barbiside that hasn’t been changed in 8 years. I can’t go into the first, because my cowboy ancestors will shun me from the big campfire in the great beyond if they find out I paid $ 80 to get a fauxhawk. I can’t go into the second, because I’ve reached my limit on the number of haircuts I can receive from dudes with gauges in their ears. Turns out the answer was 5. And I’ve never really liked the third – it always feels like someone got whacked in the shop lately, and you might be next.

Brogan and Son manages to walk a delicate balance. They go a great and careful job without the need for ironic mustaches, sleeve garters, or organic, free range beards. They also manage to evoke the classic (upscale) barbershop without making me feel like my grandfather. Bottom line is, I come out looking as good as I ever look, for a pretty reasonable price.
I always see Tim, and you can book your appointment with him on their website. Which I like, because any time I can avoid human contact and replace that with cold, digital impersonality, I’m happy.

If you are looking for a great haircut. With someone that is attentive to detail and all around does a wonderful job. Go see Francesco.
I never leave that place disappointed.

I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a moderately priced modern barbershop. I have gone to Francesco twice now, and both times he has done an amazing job given how difficult my hair is to cut (thick, wavy, and two cow-​licks). He will ask you along the way if he’s going down the right path for what you are looking, and hasn’t let me leave until I am certain we got it right.
This is very much a man’s place to get your haircut as they have dispensed with all the hair salon style atmosphere, and stuff guys don’t need to just get a haircut. They know their stuff and for anyone looking to get a very modern cut under $ 40 in FiDi this is the place you should be going

My first time in Brogan and Son was an unforgettable experience with Francesco.
I asked for a skin fade and beard shave with straight razor. He did a wonderful job. I would say the best treatment i ever had. I truly believe he is one of the best barber in the Bay Area.

This is the spot! I use Ken Thunderhawk he is passionate and fast, just a great Barber! Great conversation, cool people and you can even enjoy a cold beer while you get pampered!
Next time your in the neighborhood book an appointment with Ken, you will not be disappointed!

This place is awesome, it’s in the middle of financial district, and like others mentioned, they always offer you a beer when you start and they always wrap it up with a warm scented towel on your face + a head massage. I love coming here, and almost always walk out very very happy, feeling perfectly fine spending $ 50 on a haircut. The guys are super chill, I say hello when I walk by and run into them on the sidewalk.
Regarding cuts, KEN IS AWESOME, HE CUTS LIKE A BOSS and he’s stylish /​chill /​badass.
This place loses a star because of Tim. Ken was booked and I got Tim. This ruined my day. TIM SUCKS. He really sucks. I cannot stress enough that he sucks. DO NOT GET STUCK WITH TIM. There’s some reviews on here that love him, and some that hate him. People probably love him because he’s a nice OG talker, but if mutually exclusive, I would much rather a nice & even haircut + even sideburns over a mediocre conversation.

Unilocal set my expectations too high. My dude at Mystic was out with food poisoning, so went here. Simply put, I had a completely uninspired haircut here. Not a disaster, but went back to work and not one comment. The person who cut my hair wasn’t particularly friendly either. I came home, and thought, meh. No free beer offered either. Womp womp. May come back to try a haircut with Aidan.
Edit — haircut has grown out really funky really quickly. Need a fixing haircut within one week. OY! SO BAD!

Friendly people, a BEER while you get your haircut, head massage, warm towels (I almost fell asleep), and most importantly, a great haircut! Just went here yesterday and had a great experience. Really unlike any other place I’ve ever gotten a haircut before. To top it all off, it is a 20 second walk from my office.
The best part was the woman who cut my hair (I’m not very good with names) was extremely patient as I wasn’t really sure how much I wanted to cut off. She was more than happy to take off little by little for me to see how it looked before I finally settled on a the length I wanted. She also gave me recommendations on what kind of products were best for my hair type (I don’t know much about hair care). Definitely worth it. I will be back. Keep in mind though that it is CASH ONLY.

I had to look good for an interview for a German TV station. Aidan, the owner and CHO (Chief Hair Officer) here at Brogan & Son made me look really dapper and I felt very comfortable stepping in front of the camera.
This was my second visit at this place — the first time I simply walked in and was able to get an appointment right here and there. This time around, I made an appointment online, as I wanted it to be really early. Aidan does take appointments starting at 7am, which is great for the crowd working in downtown San Francisco.
Aidan is a really nice and chatty chap — just what you want a barber to be! In fact, my biggest pet-​peeve about going to the hair dresser is that I never know what to talk about. Aidan really made feel super comfortable and we had a very fun and genuine conversation.
I can really recommend this place!
