Quick info
About Amidine
On Balboa Ave in San Diego, Amidine is a barber shop taking walk-ins for haircuts, with multiple barbers on hand to accommodate a preference. A sign-in sheet in the waiting area keeps track of turn order, and customers tend to move through with little wait even during steadier stretches. The cut list includes military fades and kids' cuts, and compressed air is used to clear hair off after the trim. Payment runs cash only, and an ATM sits inside the shop for anyone who arrives without cash on hand. The shop opens daily, with no appointment needed.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the haircuts themselves, describing cuts that match exactly what was asked, from a military fade finished quickly and cleanly to a kid's cut that pleased a nearly teenage son. Several are long-term regulars, including one who has come for almost ten years and trusts no one else with a haircut and beard trim. Close behind is the friendly, accommodating staff, with one customer growing out their hair saying the barbers patiently handled unusual requests. Newcomers mention walking in with no wait, a sign-in sheet, and compressed air used to clear loose hair, which one reviewer found very effective. Reviewers also call the pricing reasonable and the shop clean, and note it is cash only with an ATM inside. The complaints are few but specific. One longtime customer reports a recent cut where the sides were not matched to the back, forcing a recut of the length, and the neckline was left uncleaned. Another reviewer describes a barber getting angry and insulting them in another language after they did not hear something clearly. One reviewer praises a barber by role for conversation and haircuts.

“worked in the Middle East for two years, so I can understand when you insult me in your native language. I don’t understand why you got angry just because I didn’t hear clearly what you said. I didn’t hear you clearly because: …”

“First time taking my son to this barber. My son’s happy with his cut. He’s almost 13 so this has been a challenge lately. We walked right in. No waiting. Cut was exactly what we asked for. Price was great for a kids cut. In our neighborhood, we will definitely be returning. Happy new customer.”

“Perfect for military cuts. I asked for a Military fade, paid $22 for the cut (+ $3 tip) and the man cut my hair in less than 10 minutes, cut was clean, and military approved. I’m sad I can’t give this barber shop a higher score.”
