Fantastic experience: I know what you’re asking yourself, “Am I man enough to go see Alex for a haircut?” The short answer is no. I tried to be. I grew my beard to unreasonable lengths, ate nothing but lumber for 3 straight days, swam in arctic cold waters for hours, and punched a lion unconscious. If you feel manlier than me, call Alex right now and make an appointment. After your haircut you will exude maximum manliness and every woman on the planet will want you. What are you waiting for? Take a deep, masculine breath and do it. —Tommy

Fantastic experience: I’m a self care bald guy. I brought my 12yo boy in yesterday for an appointment with Shawn. He did a great job but my kid was not happy with the outcome because he’s 12. Another gent welcomed him over to his chair talked with him and finished up. Shawn insisted on not charging us. I got my kid out to the car and came back in for an adult chat and after full insistence Shawn accepted payment from me. All of this to say - if I had hair this is where I’d go. They are menches

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it’s great. Dutch is the best. He always gives me a great cut, and he’s really professional while still being cool. He can make small talk with the best of them, but he also won’t if you’d rather just zone out. I literally don’t go to anyone else. I drive 30-40 minutes to go to Dutch.

Fantastic experience: Anthony’s Barber shop is everything I was looking for in a new place to get my haircut. I read a LOT of great reviews of the guys & gal that works there, then selected Josh “Beans” to try for my first haircut there. Easy to get to location mid town just off of Hwy. 50. Josh was great, easy to talk to, had some similar interests & he gives a great haircut!! Price is a good value for the service received. I always give a good tip as well.

Fantastic experience: We love Matt. I take my two sons there for haircuts. Appreciate his patience with them as they can be wild and full of energy. Repeat customers for sure. Thanks!

LeRoid David Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: 5+ years as a customer, particularly with Alex. I’ve at least gone through half a dozen hair styles with him over the years. No matter what phase you’re going through — he makes it work. Shawn is another one I go to as well. Everyone there is efficient and courteous, truly one of the best!

Matthew Roberts Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The best spot for a haircut hands down. Great atmosphere and vibes, haircut always comes out looking top notch, and lots of great conversations going on throughout the shop. Big fan of Beans, no one else I'd trust with my hair at this point!

Steven Durkee Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Best Barber in Sac. Also better than any barber in Rio Linda, Davis, Roseville, or Bakersfield...and probably other cities too! For real though, he's good at what he does and he seems like a good guy. He reads his customers well and if you're the sit and be silent type while he cuts, he doesn't force small talk on you, and on the flip, hes 100% capable of chatting people up too. That dynamic of knowing who wants to talk and who doesn't is almost as important as ability. Also, he works quick and runs on time. So to sum it up, the 4 things that matter to me are: 1. The actual haircut 2. The experience during the haircut 3. The wait before the haircut 4. And how long does the cut take once you're in the chair He nails it. 4 for 4. What more can you ask for.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Anthony’s for about 10+ years and it’s still an affordable and high quality place to get your haircut! The barbers are down to earth and great folks. Alex is my go to barber, has great attention to detail, and keeps me looking my best. The shop is always packed when I’m there so make sure to make an appointment online.

Pat Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you want to go from looking like a zero to a hero then look no further than Anthony’s Barbershop! I have been going here for the last 3 years and Alex has been cutting my hair ever since. Shoutout to Alex for making me go from a 3/10 to an 10/10 with his masterful performance on the clippers and razor. Booking an appointment is super fast and easy, which means you never have to wait in line for a haircut. The environment of the barbershop is awesome and everyone there is super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love the vibe of this shop. Matthew has become my go-to barber. Can’t recommend enough

Dan Theman Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Edit: I recently switched from shorter to longer hair and needed a proper cut to keep the growth looking great and manageable. Aly, once again, was able to absolutely nail the cut and left me looking better than ever I could tell right away that the entire staff is sharp and great at what they do. The shop is covered in style and personality, which can also be seen in the process and results for myself and other customers. Aly give an awesome, clean fade, which always leads to numerous compliments.

Paul Mann Published on Google 1 year ago

Bruce A Beals Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Alex is awesome. Great cut and great guy!!!

Rodger Stein Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a younger barber, NOT a stylist to give me a more current cut that was easy to maintain. My daughter suggested Anthony (the owner) because several of her friends spoke highly of him. Tried in vain to contact him, to no avail. Gave up and took a chance with Shawn at the Freeport location. He did an amazing job and I’ve been seeing him for about 3 years now. Always a great cut and great conversation as well. The shop vibe is like Cheers, I could just hang there for hours. I recommend him and Anthony’s to all the old guys I know. 10/10 across the board.

Vincent Laform Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a client of Alex from here the better part of a decade. The booking process is easy, the cuts are always on point and the service is on point. Set up all your appointments ahead of time and prepay. In & out. Look good, feel good.

Matt Roberts Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been going here for years (thanks Shawn), awesome shop with a diverse assortment of barbers catering to all ages and styles. Plus there's always dope tunes playing. The appointment reminders from their app are also very helpful. What more can you ask for???

Andrew Winn Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I always have Shawn give me a beard trim because the quality of the cut is top tier. He's professional, clean, skilled, on time, and kind.

Israel Coria Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I used to live in Sacramento and get my hair cut here. I moved back to So. Cal but I still visit my friends and travel back for work a lot. If you're from out of town you can definitely trust this place to give you a great haircut. I have tried a couple different spots in Sacramento, but this is the best spot I've found. I always go with Alex, but have had Brian cut my hair before and they both do a great job. I definitely recommend it to locals and people from out of town.

Peter Kassel Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Anthony's is amazing and I love getting my haircut there from Matt B every couple of months. :-)

Alistair Berkeley Published on Google 1 year ago

Daniel Preciado Published on Google 1 year ago

Chris Goode Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's always a good experience coming down to Anthony's. I've been getting my hair cut by Josh since 2021, and despite living out of state for a few years, I would still wait until being back in town to get cuts from him since he does such an amazing job. He's also the friendliest guy you'll ever meet. Now that I'm living in the area again, I'm looking forward to getting regular haircuts

Kevin Lavelle Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have Nigel and he is the best. First time with him he got it spot on and I was so happy so always return without fail. Also amazing guy with lot of life experience.

destiny Carpenter Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've taken my 16 year old son here a few times and he's had Joshua and I just brought my other two teens and they saw Shawn. After going to a kids salon for a long time, I figured it was time for them to go to a barber. I love it there. The barbers are always just talking and having a good time. The music is always good and just the overall vibes in general are good. I showed Shawn a picture of what my two younger teens wanted and he did a great job. They love their hair. Aiden has seen Joshua every time and after the 2nd time he just knows how Aiden wants his hair. You can tell these barbers love what they do and they like working with each other. Will keep taking the boys here.

Gabe Laskey Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been bringing my dad here for years. Beans (Josh) does the best haircut and beard trim. My dad will not go anywhere else. If Beans is booked we will wait. In addition to being my dad’s favorite barber he is a genuinely kind individual. All the guys at Anthony’s are super cool. He loves the conversation too.

Fantastic experience: Nigel has been cutting my hair for over two years. Longest I’ve ever had a barber. His haircuts are top notch but I especially enjoy our conversations. I always enjoy the atmosphere in Anthony’s. All the barbers have hilarious banter between one another, the music is always excellent, and every time I go, I see a familiar face.

Fantastic experience: Always a great cut! I’ve been going to Shawn for a few years now and I’ve always walked out happy. I’ve had my hair cut by a few others there a time or two and they too have always hit the mark.
