Cesar is phenomenal. His attention to detail exceeds all others I’ve experienced in the neighborhood. He has cut my hair for 3 years. I get complimented on my haircuts from Cesar all the time. Scheduling is super easy. Highly recommend!!

Excellent! One of the few places to get a REAL FADE. Been going for at least 15 years and it’s worth the trip from Andersonville. I barely speak Spanish, but don’t have any problem communicating my needs. My guy barely speaks English, but we connect. It takes him about 45 to 60 minutes to cut my hair, and that’s why I tip him well. I got a crappy cut from a hipster “old school”barbershop in my neighborhood up north… it was 45 bucks for about 2 minutes of razor and 15 minutes of the SuperCuts shearing job. Tons of imitators out there but Reuben’s is the real deal. In all these years, I’ve never seen a drug deal or riffraff anywhere near the store. Pretty sure negative reviews come from Karens. Yeah, my guy misses the mark every blue moon but he’s spot-on most of the time. I get complimented on my hair frequently. I’ve seen mostly Latino, various Asian, and white dudes (like me) but a few black dudes do come here. And every once in a while, I see a woman get her hair done. It’s my sense this place has been around for decades and we’ll stay around for decades to come. Make an appointment on the web or walk-in (I’ve actually got around to making appointments and saving time as a result). One of the last real barbershops without the pretension. My man-spa!
