About

Open seven days a week from 7am most days (6am Saturdays), Joe's Barber Shop in the Castro fits easily into a morning or afternoon routine. It's known for no-nonsense butch cuts, the kind of electric razor buzz that's a staple among leather men and bears.

The shop is proudly LGBTQ-owned, with pride flags on the wall. Don't expect a shampoo here; it's all about the cut. Regulars swear by Basil, a barber who's earned repeat clients for years. If you're heading to Green Apple Books after, you can walk there in under ten minutes.

From the community

I've been getting my hair cut by the same barber for three years now, and every single cut has been excellent.

“Walk ins welcome”

If you need a butch electric razor cut, this is the place. These barbers know the look that made SF porn stars famous. Ask the owner, who was in some films himself. Leather men, bears, and gay men are welcome, with flags on the wall. Just don't expect a shampoo. They have the facilities, but isn't that a bit nelly?
