Peoples Barber & Shop

Peoples Barber Shop has two locations: one in San Francisco and another in Oakland. The SF shop has a busy, bustling atmosphere; it feels almost like it could be a bar or record shop instead of a barber (check out the black and white photos of San Francisco’s past and the snazzy two-toned tile and wood floor). Peoples has ten tidy barber stations that welcome both walk-ins and appointments. Services are traditional—buzz cut with fade, hot towel treatment and head shave are a few listed on the menu—but luxurious. The staff is all about bringing back the traditional barber shop experience; you’ll be offered a drink when you arrive, receive a quality cut or shave and can pick up an assortment of products like Layrite Super Hold or J.S. Sloane Beard oil. The clientele is a mix of old and young, hip and professional, tattooed and suited.
