The real Barber Shop aka Barber Academy is an extraordinary red carpet hair care place where everyone knows their craft and knows yours name. This is really the community 'water cooler' to catch up on life's going ons and walk out with an amazing hair VIP experience. $5 cuts with value of $35.

Clean, organized, vibrant, hip, fun. The entire VIBE is good for the soul.

My Barber and student Jake is a passionate hair care pro. He not only styles, cuts, and organizes my hair, he treats the entire region. He educated me on how to have healthy hair by choosing quality products.

The owner and school instructor Jason is passionate about his craft. His students respect him. Jason makes sure everyone is A+ and doing a great job for the customer.

Everyone walks in with healthy skepticism; however, everyone walks out with a BIG smile and phenomenal hair cut.

I love to patron and support local business, especially when I feel that the service is concierge VIP red carpet.

No hair too hard to cut and style. All heads welcome.

LOVE this place.

You can't beat $5 for a haircut! Plus they actually do REALLY good haircuts that look like we went to the more expensive barbershops. Ask for Cesar or Julian, they were Excellent and friendly.

If you’re looking for a clean cut ask for Ramiro or Jason. I’ve gotten a cut by both of them and they were both excellent with their fades and shear work. 5 star⭐️ experience

Such a fun & opportunistic place to grow! As a unlicensed barber with 8+ years experience, I learned a variety of new ways to become a better barber. From the tools to use, to different techniques, and all the way to better customer service. Here is a comfortable space to grow your talents without any judgment or pressure. They allow you to be yourself & build your career from within. Some schools will force you into certain practices that don’t correlate with todays standards in the industry. Thankfully they allow us to work together as a team to collectively help each other become better. It’s more than just a school. It’s a family !

Ive been coming here since it opened. And I can honestly I love coming here. The barbers are all so friendly. Always make me feel welcome. Everything is so clean inside it always smells like aftershave. Definitely recommend coming in!

One of the best barber shops in Gilroy. Everyone is friendly and the shop is kept clean and tidy. Shout-out to Jason, he has been my barber for 10+ years and has kept my hair looking fresh. I highly recommend this shop!

So it's one of those days where my barber is out of town and I needed a haircut remember I drove by this place downtown and I wanted to give it a shot came to the door I saw their hours from 10am to 4pm at that point yet it's my my fault, it was already 5:45 I'll take the blame but the door was open and there was two guys in the chair getting a haircut and three guys just standing around. And I can be wrong probably they were students.

They were polite they greeted me when I open the door and all that of customer service was great i give it five stars for that but I was turned down. I don't know if I will recommend anyone this place or ever go back time will tell

At the end I had to go find someone else

That was my experience
