Just phoned this guy up as it's near my work. Probably one of the rudest guys I've talked to recently. Does he even want any new business? He must be very popular and well off as he clearly doesn't need my business!
First he tells me he doesn't take walk-ins, then tells me actually it's appointments that he doesn't take. Oh, and he also takes his lunch from 12:30-2pm (busiest time perhaps?). So I say "oh, ok" to which he tales off saying "whatever, bye" and hangs up! Hilarious. Good luck with your ongoing success pal. I'm glad I didn't take the chance and just hop over there. If he cares so little about new business I can only imagine how little he cares about cutting hair. Wow, just wow.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 23651May 7, 2023
Finding a barber you trust is always a challenging task, but happy to say I found my barber (Anthony). I usually get a mid bald fade and each time I leave feeling like a new man. The other barbers are also super chill, and pretty funny. Parking is there, you might just have to look a bit to see it's on the side of the building. Price wise, it's what you would expect to pay for the area (around 40 before tip).

From the time I was a little kid to my last haircut, I had gone to the original location on Sixth not too far away (see my review.) One of the barbers who I had been seeing, Chuck, just moved to this location; i it is every bit as good with a tv & radio & every bit as clean. It is smaller with about four chairs & there is a parking lot. Needless to say, Chuck did a great job as always. So, for wonderful haircuts at reasonable prices in a clean comfortable atmosphere, Bushwacker Shack cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.

Great vibes as soon as you walk through the door. I believe Shaine and Anthony also work there and they're very friendly and attentive to others. No cuts from them personally but from observing, they've always given excellent and clean cuts to their customers.
For myself, I get my cuts by Joe and he is the man. My head shape (mentioned by my past barbers) is especially hard to cut but he always leaves me with an amazing cut each time. He's got great attention to detail and his fades/scissor work for the top is really the best I've had.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - MoMo M.Foster City, CA24711Oct 7, 2022

Dropped by the other day while out and about, they, Bushwackers Parlor had just opened, didn't see customers yet so I parked in front and went in, asked if I could get a haircut. NO PROBLEM, sure was the response I got from guy working there. I got in the chair and started telling him what I wanted done and he said, I got it, I know what you want. AND HE DID!! Great haircut indeed. Plus, he surfs so I had someone to talk with other than about sports...Don't really give a pooh about sports, but growing up in San Francisco and surfin at Kelly's (when remnants of the pier was still there) back in the 60's) I enjoyed talking about it and the memories it brought back. Got a great haircut and SUPER GLAD Cuno is branching out...BEST OF LUCK TO HIM AND HIS GREAT CREW.
Definitely RECOMMEND BUSHWACKER SHACK. Easy to get to, right up Harbor into El Camino alongside The Lariat.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Tani G.San Mateo, CA1810May 27, 2022
Been a long time customer but decided to start trying to fade my own beard. Lol. Not a good idea. Love coming to this shop. Been coming to see Lindsay for a few months now and always know she'll hooks me up looking like a million bucks with a them pockets on empty. Lol. Appreciate the whole staff. Very friendly, music is always on point. 5 stars all the way!! Highly recommended.

Shout out to Kuno.
First of all, let's be real. We're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. People are struggling everywhere. When is the last time you had a haircut?
These guys provide an opportunity to keep things tight and fresh, in a safe way, in a nicely constructed, welcoming, outdoor environment.
Online reservations? Check. Fully outdoors? Check. Socially distanced? Check. Sanitizer and disinfectant? Check. Awesome haircut? Double check.
I'm sure I'll be back.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 17, 2020Updated review
New owners and have had really good experience with Kuno and the guys from Bushwackers. Glad they took over this spot and excited to see the additional capacity in the neighborhood. Easy online booking and usually can find an appointment without too much difficulty. Talented and efficient barbers. This and their other location were my normal go-to spots until we moved. Definitely recommend.

Got a very "take it or leave it' response including that he was about to go to lunch and that he'd already cut 8 people's hair in the morning and once he'd done 13 haircuts for the day he was going home. Even if I wound up getting in, it seems like there's no way to ensure he could be my regular barber. Hard to imagine making it work every time I need a haircut.
Totally respect his approach, but doesn't work for me. - James Q.Sacramento, CA160457Jan 8, 2020
This place is a solid five stars. Kuno is an expert in his field and gives great recommendations. If you're unsure of what you want you can talk to him about it and he'll give you an opinion. I've gone to several barbers and nobody has given me as much feedback as he has. He's sharp and hes quick and doesn't skimp on quality. The interior of the place is also nice and calm with music playing softly in the background with a huge area to watch sports while getting a cut. There are roughly two spots in front of the shop to park, otherwise you can park in the lot to the right side in between the tavern and the pet training place. If you do need to come by, book an appointment online in order to get in. Overall 5/5 Solid work and great service from Kuno. I've found myself a new barber.
tl;dr :
-Clean cuts, great feedback, great service.
-Great atmosphere
-Park directly in front of the shop or in the small parking lot that wraps the
tavern.
-Make an appointment online.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
