Santa Clara Sports Barbershop

I think this is one of the best places to get a flattop in the Bay Area! It's an old fashioned shop, hidden in a little strip mall at the crossing of 580 and 92. There's a sports theme, with lots of memorabilia around the shop, and a few flat screens playing a game or the news. The shop has six or seven chairs, all pretty close together. It's a nice place to just go hang out, chat with some guys, and get a good haircut.

Robert, the owner, does most of the flattops. He is outstanding at them! He can do any style - high and tight, long and conservative, boxy or rounded, fenders, military style horseshoes, you name it. He takes pride in his flattops, and they end up technically perfect, not a hair out of place. I've also seen some excellent flattops from Chris. All the guys at this shop do meticulous cuts. They'll do great at any barbershop cut you want. I've seen excellent fades, crewcuts, lineups, high and tights, the works. Check them out!

Edit: Call in advance to check which barbers are in for the day. They own a second shop in Danville, and sometimes barbers work out of different locations.

Took the recommendation from here and was not disappointed. Great shop with 6 male barbers. Called to ask if I needed an appointment and was told "No sir, this is a real barber shop". Just what I like to hear. Waited for the owner Robert and asked for a hnt horseshoe flat and face shave. He was concerned I had some product (suavecito pomade) in my hair, however it wasn't a problem. He took great care and I was very pleased with the result. Excellent barber and really knows flattops.

Master with the straight razor too on the sides and back as well as my face. Will definitely visit again next time I'm in the Bay Area.

Based on these previous reviews I went today to get my flattop tightened up, bald fade on the sides and back and received a great cut with a perfectly level top with a nice landing strip - Robert did a great job. Robert is a great barber, makes you feel welcome, very precise in his cut and a just genuine nice guy. I wished I lived closer, as he would be my go to barber!
