The Little Italy Barbery

Cut was great! Leo did an excellent job and paid attention to the details! Could have used a wash to get all the clippings off before styling. Ended up itchy all day.

Great experience getting my haircut with Leo. He did a great job and was very professional

Leo was great man. Dude was thorough and professional in every way. Great conversation and made me feel very welcome and comfortable.

It’s a laid back barber shop & all the barbers there are chill & the cuts be ob point too oh & they always ask if you like a drink while you wait for your cut that’s dope, shout out to my barber Leo he’s a great barber if your looking to get a legit cut hit him up!!

Leo is the MAN! His attention to detail truly shows his love & passion for his craft. Highly suggest him.

Leo takes incredible care of you when you come in for a haircut. His attention to detail is second to none and really works to give the perfect haircut for exactly what you want every time I’ve been in. Best barbershop I’ve ever been to!

Unusual to find the combination of sophisticated technical skills and hair design artistry as I have here.  Leo is the complete professional. Talented with a distinct personality that makes you feel and look special. The shop rocks. Easy on the eyes and ears, super friendly and attentive.  Highly recommended !!

Excellent barber shop. Very clean, bright, and organized. Leo hooks it up, always a clean cut. Highly recommended.

Very desribale barbershop to fulfill your grooming needs! Great location, peaceful establishment and skills to match to location.

Great experience. Leo was very professional and gave me a great haircut. Highly recommended.

Leo definitely blesses hooked me up with one of the best fades i’ve had in a while

Doren and the team create an incredible customer experience from the moment of entry.  The place is extremely clean, safe and customer focused.  Attention to detail is amazing.  They always listen to the customers needs.  Highly recommend!

I brought my son in for a haircut cut , r

First time in and had Leo cut me up. He did an amazing job and took his time, gave a lot of attention to detail. Will definitely go back. Great vibes and good people.

Clean and great environment. Leo has an eye for perfection that results in a great cut. Each barber there has a station that uses lots of different light angles so they can make sure they see the smallest details and clean you up razor sharp. Great spot.

Doren is always a 5 ⭐️ experience. Not only will you receive one of the best cuts you’ve ever had, but his attention to detail and charming customer service is always a highlight to the day.

I had a great experience with Leo “L Boogie”. He was the most professional barber I’ve ever had. Leo made my haircut picture perfect, not letting a single strand of hair go unaddressed. Coming from out of town, I didn’t know what to expect and Leo killed it. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a barber. Pay this man well when you see him, he won’t leave you disappointed.

The ambience made the barber shop feel classy but old school at the same time. The owner has done a great job with even the smallest details.

Great haircuts and the barbers are all very nice!

My dad went to Raymond yesterday, and it was an amazing experience! He was very skilled. He listened to what my dad wanted and delivered a perfect cut. My dad left looking sharp and feeling great. Highly recommend this barber for anyone looking for a great haircut!

Great atmosphere, great team, and great service!

After living in little Italy for a few years and trying what feels like every barber shop here I finally found Leo. He is absolute best. I have never had a barber who cares as much as he does about making sure I walk out feeling fresh.

I’ve been getting my haircut by Leo at the Barbery for a few years now and him and the shop are the best. The shop always has a welcoming atmosphere and is well kept and clean. Leo is a great barber and also a great person who really pays attention to detail and always gives you the best cuts. I encourage everyone to try out this shop and get a cut from Leo!

Great shop with first class hospitality!  Beautiful ambiance with lots of visual entertainment inside and out. The location couldn’t be more perfect as it sits in the heart of Little Italy and central to San Diego.  They shampoo at this barber shop!  Chelsea is an Ace, book with her!

I was in town and happened to walk in around opening time. Leo was able to get me in the chair immediately and gave me a tremendous cut. I'll make the drive from LA next time just to make sure I get lined up right.

I have been going to Leo since barber college he gives great quality and is attentive to detail. He is an amazing barber. They have a good team all their barbers are high quality. I recommend this barbershop to everyone.

I’ve been getting my haircut by Chelsea for 4+ years at this point... always a great cut and conversation. The new shop looks great... second to none!

Came in after not getting a haircut in two years. Leo took me from looking like a wizard to looking like normal human being in only 45 minutes. 10/10 will be back again.

Leo was kickass and I will come back when I visit the city again!✌

Leo was awesome. This was my first time ever in my adult life going to a Barber. Leo is my Barber from now on. 👍👍👍👍👍😁

Couldn't ask for a better cut. Great people and great atmosphere as well. Will be back to see Leo again for sure.

Best haircut in SD and service is great. Highly recommend, especially Leo.

Chelsea is the best! I have been seeing her for about 10 years. She has a great crew at the Little Italy Barbery. Highly recommend as the best spot in SD!

I've been seeing Chelsea at this spot for years and the experience and cut is always top notch. Love the friendly vibes and attention to detail.

Best scissor cut and shave in San Diego. The Classic Works is a selfcare must.

Chelsea is the best! Wish I could take her traveling when I need a cut!

Amazing place & atmosphere, I was visiting from out of town and needed a cut. 10/10 would recommend

Great Barber Shop in Little Italy!  Leo's my guy there,  Always a good experience!

Leo Trujillo most professional; very high level of attention to detail.

This has been my go-to barber shop for a few years now because of their friendly and professional staff, quality of service and the comfortable atmosphere. I’ll go until my hair falls out…and then I’ll just go to hang out.

Great local spot for a nice cut. Highly recommend

Big fan. The vibes are right and the cuts are always clean. Making appointments online is really easy. My go to person is Leo (he’ll get you looking right!) His attention to detail and care show in his work. Highly recommend!

We live in Washington state but my husband got a haircut here while on vacation and he loved it! To bad we live far away, or he would def be back (:

Leo did a great job. Cut came out fresh. Amazing guy and barbershop

Great shop. Leo Trujillo gives the best cut around!

I've been here a couple times and I always leave happy and looking sharp. Everyone is super friendly and the place has a relaxed vibe. Leo does a top class job and has really helped me develop a good hair style.

I alway come here to get a fresh cut! Leo is incredibly chill and provides me with the best haircuts and customer service you could ask for.

Haven’t gone anywhere else since Leo first cut my hair 2 years ago. The shop is clean and has an atmosphere like no other barbershop. The Little Italy Barbery is one of a kind. Everyone here is welcoming and professional. Haircuts are always on point and so is the music! I always have a great experience. Highly recommend. 👌🏽

Awesome spot, friendly staff, and they'll get you exactly the kind of cut you want. Would highly recommend!

Great haircuts from my man Leo. same price everytime with good quality service.

I've come here religiously for the past 3 years and have never been disappointed with a cut. Leo is always willing to fit me into his schedule and always responds back to texts or calls quickly.

The shop is clean, prepped and always has good music playing. I'd happily recommend this place to anyone, hit up Leo if you're looking for a great barber.

I love going to the little italy barbery for my haircut.  I work with Leo who is amazing and really takes pride in making my cut look great.  Some barbers seem like they rush through but he pays attention to every detail!  I highly recommend the little italy barbery if you want a great haircut and fun environment.

(Translated by Google) I had my hair cut by Leo Trujillo, a true artist!! Even though I did a simple cut and shave, he put in more effort than I've ever seen!! Kind and impeccable!

(Original)
Ho tagliato i capelli con Leo Trujillo un vero artista!! Anche se ho fatto un semplice taglio e rasatura ci ha messo un impegno mai visto finora!! Gentile e impeccabile!

Leo is an artist with scissors and a razor.! He has been my only barber since the day he first cut my hair! I highly recommend the Little Italy Barbery, thanks crew!

This spot and Leo specifically were great — came for a quick walk-in before a trip and left with a new regular barber. Genuinely kind person who clearly cares about his craft. Attention to detail was 10/10 and he offered helpful insight on my cut that showed he’s an expert. He even sent a follow up thank you / appreciation text after. Good dude.

The shop itself was also really nice. Super clean, had a surprisingly nice scent inside that I wouldn’t normally expect at a barbershop, and a good vibe all around.

Leo is hands down best barber I’ve ever met super professional and made me feel comfortable from the minute I walked in! If you’re not getting your hair cut at little Italy Barbershop definitely go check it out.

Best haircut I’ve had in years no question. Leo was the most accommodating barber I’ve had and the reason I’ll be returning here regularly. he did such a great job making sure he knew exactly what cut I was going for. Thank you Leo & team!

Vonage is awesome. Very professional and attention to detail. Fun to have a chat with as well!

Found this barber shop after my long time Barber moved back to Brazil. Got my haircut by Leo and right off the bat It was an amazing experience. Leo was super detailed oriented. He spoke to me about what cut I was going for and really took the time to understand me/what I wanted. Made the first cut amazing and I kept coming back after that every single time. It's been an incredible haircut.

Last haircut I got I was actually away for a couple months so I wasn't able to come back to him so we hadn't cut my hair in a little bit and it was a little bit off of what I wanted. However, I didn't notice it being a little bit off until I got home. I messaged Leo about it and he instantly scheduled me for the following morning before his appointment started. He got me fixed up in about 15 minutes and out the door ready to start my work day.

Leo always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy and is one of the best barbers I've ever had

I've been shaving my head for the past 20 years so never needed a barber but have been a "beard" guy for the past 10.  This is my spot to touch up my facial hair.  I found this location because of it's close proximity to my house, I even moved 3 years ago and still go out of my way to come here.  That's how highly I think of this establishment.  First of all, Leo is the barber I frequent.  Dude is an artist and takes pride in his work.  He's accomodating, professional and talented.  He has a fantastic eye and when you leave his chair you feel fresh and lined up.  Another plus about this place is rest of the staff.  Every barber always greets you and  even strike up start conversations with you.  It's very inviting there.  Thank you Little Italy Barbery, you guys are the best!

When I first moved to San Diego in 2022, I was in desperate need of a good barber. Luckily, The Little Italy Barbery was just around the corner from where I lived, and I booked an appointment with Chelsea. Now here we are 3 years later!

Even though I live a bit farther now, I’m more than happy to make the drive for the top-tier service and quality cuts. Chelsea has been incredibly patient and flexible with my ever-changing schedule and evolving hairstyles.

Whether you book with Chelsea, Doren, or any of the talented staff at The Little Italy Barbery, you’ll be in great hands. Can’t recommend them enough!

Love this shop! Whole crew is super personable. It’s always perfectly clean, entertaining, everyone is professional and on time. I looked for a barbershop for years when I first moved to SD & I’ve literally never walked outta here without a 10/10 cut.

I've been coming to The Little Italy Barbery for over a year now, and every visit has been top-notch. The vibe of the shop is always welcoming and laid-back, and Doren—my go-to barber—is the best! He's not only great at what he does, but also a genuinely great guy to talk to. We always have good conversation, and I walk out every time looking so fresh and so clean. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quality cut and a great experience.

Really appreciate they could fit me in after a stylist couldn’t make it. Leo is a true Hair guru, stop by and see him anytime he’s around.

Nelly is truly the best barber out there!! Always leaves me feeling fresh and confident!! Hands down the best haircut I’ve ever had

Best barber in San Diego! Ask for Nelly! They will get you right every single time. Been going to Nelly for months now since I moved to San Diego and every single time it’s on point!

Nayeli (Nelly) is always so welcoming. She is super responsive to scheduling. The shop is clean & in a great location in Little Italy.

I really enjoyed coming here all of the barbers are very knowledgeable, and professional.
A very friendly and comfortable environment.
Ray got me a lot of compliments on my haircuts.

Moved here from Boston, and was greeted with big smiles by Leo Trujillo barber.  Wearing a clean uniform and the shop is also spotless.  I will be back and thank you again for your great service.   So wahooooo to the little Italy barbery

I had the honor of working with Mr Leo Trujillo this afternoon, I called to check availability because the website said no walk-ins, however they had availability for me to stroll right in and grab a seat. Leo was very attentive, careful to make cuts that would compliment my hairline and style. I felt like he was not only genuinely concerned for my experience in his chair but also knowledgeable about types of hair and the way it lays. A top-notch barber, genuine craftsman, and all around pleasant Man...ask for Leo when you book, you won't be disappointed.

Vonage is amazing! I tried out a new hairstyle I was nervous for and she killed it. Awesome vibes with both her and the shop, all the other barbers were smiling and chilling too…
Stopped by while in town from out of state, will 100% be coming back. Thanks Vonage!!

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The whole staff is friendly and great at what they do! The vibes are on point , they always have water or drinks waiting for you while you wait. My barber is Leo , he takes his time , works like an artist , I’m always happy whenever I walk out of this place! Do yourself a favor and try this place out ! You won’t be disappointed!

I have been going to Little Italy Barbery for a couple years now. All my experiences with any of the hair stylists have always been great. I have been going with Leo for his unmatched attention to detail and his ability to communicate with customers.
Anytime I am in San Diego I be using Little Italy Barbery.

Been going to the Barbery for 5+ years even at their old location in Little Italy. Leo has been my barber and is consistent, meticulous, and on point. All the barbers there definitely take pride in their craft. Easy going vibe 100 recommend

Look no further. Leo is a master of his craft and loves what he does. He offers suggestions and wants his customers to leave happy. A fine eye for the small details which is a must. Many barbers can make you look good leaving the shop, but a great one delivers a cut that holds up a few weeks in. Leo is one of San Diego's finest.

New to the area, tried several other barbershops in the downtown area. Then I found the The Little Italy Barbery.  They were/are very welcoming, the shop is clean and well lit. Leo makes every effort to ensure that even my simple haircut is done well.  Everyone in the shop is a true professional.

*Now, a year later, the above paragraph still is my opinion!  Leo, and his fellow barbers, are still delivering a very customer oriented service. My experience has been, both through my personal haircuts and observations while waiting, that in Leo's chair, simple to complex cuts are all treated with the same attention to detail. I am a regular client here, and I see this service philosophy as a constant feature throughout this shop.

I’ve been coming to the Little Italy Barbery for about 2 months now and I’m never going anywhere else! I needed a haircut on pretty short notice, walked in, the people greeted me and asked me to come back in 20 min. To be honest, I was a little weary because the place was busy but I came back and BAM they remembered me and had a chair waiting. They’re always on top of the customer service and I really appreciate the professionalism.

Also, ask for Leo. I’ve been trying to find a solid  barber for YEARS and this dude is LEGIT. He takes his time, his fades are clean and he really takes the time to make sure your cut is looking right. That kind of attention to detail and quality is rare, never going anywhere else.

Update: 2 Years later and it’s still the one of the best in the city!

This place is amazing! All the barbers are so good at what they do and the atmosphere is better than any barber shop I've been in. Chelsea is my go to and she leaves me looking great every single time.

I've been. Coming here for over 5 years and every one of their barbers are great

Since moving to San Diego a few years back, it took me awhile to find a barber that I trusted and could go to regularly. Once I started going to Leo that changed for me, and have been going to him since. Very reliable, professional, and always makes an effort to try and fit me into his schedule if possible. Always walk in to good music and good vibes all around. Definitely recommend not only the shop itself but Leo to give you a nice cut!

The Little Italy Barbery is the “go to” barber shop in  Little Italy. A great crew with a super friendly vibe. Leo has been trimming my hair and beard for a few years. He is a total pro with incredible attention to detail. Highly recommended!

I work in Little Italy and that's how I found the barber shop. Leo helped me out with a walk in and ever since he has been the only one that has cut my hair. Walk in prices are different than booking online and it is cash only but all that is posted on a board in the shop. Leo has always been not only professional but very welcoming every time I get a cut. I have been going to Leo for around a year and plan to continue to go to him whenever I need to look good. He even reached out to me after I told him about special plans I had to see how they went. 5 stars well deserved.

Ive been going to this location for over to years and getting my hair cut by Leo the entire time. Leo is the best barber ive had my whole life. He is always on time, very communicative and best of all, one hell of a barber! If you want a clean barber shop, with high quality attention, ask for Leo!

Came in from out of town and needed a cut. Very glad I found this place!

Great haircut, shave and vibe. Leo was super consultative and made sure I got what I wanted. He did an amazing job and I appreciated the hospitality!

I want to recommend Leo to anyone looking for a new barber! You could basically let him do his thing and it will come out better than what you thought you wanted! Try him out!

Chelsea is the absolute best! I’ve been a loyal Chelsea client for over 5 years. It took me a while to find a barber/stylist when I moved to SD that consistently gave me a great haircut. With Chelsea, I’ve never been disappointed in a haircut from her. Highly recommend.

Leo is a true master of his craft.  Best fade in San Diego and I’ve been looking for 15 yrs.  Check out my bro.  Stay sharpe SD!

Leo always kills it with a fresh cut!! And remembered me after 5 years away. Look him up, you won’t be disappointed!

Little Italy Barbery is hands down the best spot to get your hair and beard looking awesome. Their barbers are super talented, and they really know how to do a killer skin fade. There is free beer and awesome jams always playing

But I gotta give a special shoutout to my go-to barber, Vonage. She's been cutting my hair for almost two years, and she's amazing at what she does. She's always down for a chat and really listens to what I want, making sure I walk out of there looking and feeling great.

Little Italy Barbery is super chill and welcoming, so it's always a good time when I go in for a cut.

If you're looking for a top-notch barbershop with skilled barbers (especially Vonage!), you've got to check out Little Italy Barbery. You won't be disappointed!

I’m torn, because the guys are super friendly and know what they’re doing. I really loved my haircut so in terms of the service rendered, it’s 5 of 5 stars.

However…. There are some aspects that I wasn’t super pleased with:
The music is super loud, so can get a little tricky to hear what’s being said/asked. They use compressed air instead of a simple brush to brush off hair.. subjectively speaking, I really don’t like having white noise blasted in my ears when a brush could’ve done the job just fine.. compressed air is fine, but accidents do happen and I would hate for a finger to slip and have a jet of compressed air blast into my ear.

It’s a review of my personal experience and my concerns. They probably don’t apply to everyone, but they do to me.

My experience has been nothing less than perfect. Thanks Leo Trujillo.
