Herman's Barber Shop & Supply 525 Auzerais Avenue, San Jose, CA 95126

"Consider this place if you want a stellar cut and a great conversation. You'll walk out of there smiling and looking sharp. Like many before, I found this place after a cheap salon butchered my hair. I walked into Hermans, and an old guy with a toothpick in his mouth who looked like he could have been in the mafia told me to sit down, and he'd take care of it. Sal fixed my hair and made a loyal customer out of me. I've returned to Hermans many, many times over the 8 years I lived in San Jose. I've seen several great barbers come and go from that place. Arlene is the best, but the other barbers will never disappoint. I recommend making an appointment over walking in. Unless, of course, you don't mind waiting a little while. The place is set up like an old-school barber shop, so you're in a room facing each other. Conversations will start, and you won't look at your phone once. 10/10. I wish I could return again, but I've moved away!"

"Very very bad haircut. Hair has been cut at different lengths. The guy does not know where I bifurcate my hair when I comb, even after telling, just says that’s not it. Now the haircut looks haphazard, can’t comb. Nobody picks up the call at all. Steer clear of this shop"

"A great shop that offers a good old days barber experience. I love the attention to details: from getting my feedback throughout the haircutting process to the straight razor edges on the side burns and back of neck and back massager experience at the end. Arlene is fantastic! She is considerate, skilled, and communicative. And somehow even with all of this, the haircut is still prompt and efficient. Done in just under 30 minutes."

"Went to a cheap salon spot and they pretty much butchered my "fade". Luckily, Herman's had a slot late in the afternoon after calling. Had a chat with Phil and had a quick consultation with Arlene about salvaging this disaster on my head and had a lot of input and advice about my long hair. They were both lovely to talk to and have been in business for a few years now. Would absolutely come back again to support them and the hard work they put into these haircuts."

"Best haircut in a very long time. Great advice on beard trim. Heard calmly to what I want."
