No beard work
5 Civic Center Lane · Barbering since 1909
A Millbrae barbershop where tradition meets modern style. Cuts, hot lather, beard work and straight blade shaves, with more than fifty years of barbering behind the chairs.
The shop
Millbrae Barbershop sits at 5 Civic Center Lane, between Trader Joe's and Baskin-Robbins, in a shop that has been cutting hair on this block since 1909 and was previously known as Frank Pisa's Barbershop. It is run today by Vik the Barber, who kept the chairs and the way the work gets done.
Between the chairs there is over fifty years of barbering, and nothing here gets rushed through. A Style Cut gets thirty minutes because that is what scissor work and a proper fade actually take. Beard work is booked separately because it adds time, not because it is an upsell. If the last cut was three months ago, there is a service built for that too.
Everything runs on appointments through Booksy, so the chair is yours when you get here.
