Thrifty Cuts Barber Shop

I really like thrifty cuts. Been going there for years. I always get a good cut there

I've been coming here for years.They're a long-standing Santa Cruz busines.. Highly recommended.

Thrifty Cuts has cut my hair more than half my life. I meet original owner in 1982 and he was my barber for the next 10 years. Left here in 1997 to return 2008. My barber/owner passed away and his right hand and friend Loretta purchased the shop, kept everything the same and became my new barber/ stylist. I'm not sure what's politically correct. She's cut my hair since. Great atmosphere, reminding me of a shop were my Dad took me for my first hair cut, not given by him and the buzzers. Recommend Thrifty Cuts for all grooming. 12/18/21 Another perfect hair cut. Loretta's always a joy it's nice to have the same person cutting your hair knowing I like scissor cut over buzzers or that I move my head around a lot during my haircut. I highly recommend Thrifty Cuts Barbershop.

This is one of if not the oldest barbershop but definitely the coolest inside with all the memorabilia, in a perfect location downtown around in Santa Cruz almost 30 years ago they went into business the original founder unfortunately deceased but is owned and operated by his wife who is an awesome Barber/stylist on her own they are walk in and by appointment and cut women men's a kids hair they made it through thee earthquake and have lasted this long but because of the covid are struggling to survive like many other businesses in town. So if you need or know anyone who needs a great haircut send them there and please help support all local businesses because just like this one many of them were founded or started by a local person and they all need your support I used to get my hair cut hear until I move away 20 plus years ago, the hair cuts were great then and still are just as good if not better now.

Loretta gave me the best haircut I’ve received in a long time at an incredible price. Nice barbershop with talented barbers and friendly regulars. Not pretentious, just real people doing good work. Will be back.

Great job. Low cost (leave a big tip!) Friendly fast service. 30 minute parking limits make it hard to relax as they are "STRICTLY ENFORCED".
Perfect, no hassle, clean, smiles. Cant tell you how much I appreciated it compared to the COSMO torture chamber that pulled my wife's hair so hard they were ripping out of her scalp. After complaining 3 times, she left the shop crying. Guys don't like to see their loved ones hurt and cry. Don't go there - its a scam to rip off govt training loan money or trafficking in women. Scary. Thank You Thrifty.

Best value in basic haircuts I know of. Really nice people, very community-oriented, seem to have many repeat customers. I revisited yesterday for first time in 10 years, it's still excellent.

Been getting my haircut here for a couple years now. They’ve raised their prices a bit due to covid but Elisio does a great fade every time, never misses.

Gary at Thrifty Cuts is the best old school barber shop on the West Coast. I went to UCSC in 2000 and have been getting my haircut here since. For the last 5 years, I've been driving down to Santa Cruz from San Francisco, just to get my hair cut here.

No nonsense barber. Elisio listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. Kinda looks like a 50's diner inside with KFAT on the radio. At $25 for a haircut it's hard to go wrong!

Loretta is the most wonderful barbei I've ever had. Her cut is always great and does prompt compliments from my friends and family.

Been going there for years, VERY inexpensive, and always been very satisfied.

Sometimes there is a 10 minute or so wait, sometimes you get right in.

I always have gotten a cut from Loretta, so I can't speak about any of the others who work there.

I like this place every time I come in I get out looking fresh. For a cheep price they can even make you look like donoled trump😂😂 I been coming to this place for a while and never got disappointed I love the new crew..... I think gray was still the best tho 👍👍👍👍keep it up guys

I'm so pleased with Thrifty Cuts.
Loretta and her staff are great people. Over 15 years I've gone there and I recommend them. <

I truly enjoyed the experience and results. I have curly hair too. Loretta did an awesome job.

Fair price and nice cut

Elisio is super cool, great fade and attention to detail

I met the nicest hair stylist today! I will be a return customer for sure!
I already told a friend!!!

Very friendly & they do great work

I actually liked my haircut here. The previous barber really messed up my hair but the barber here helped me out.
