The readers of The Bay Area Reporter voted Joe’s Barbershop Best Place to Get Your Hair Done 2013

“Just a little off the top” is the slogan at Joe’s Barbershop, a Castro favorite since 2004. Owner Joe Gallagher, started in the business in 2004. The shop moved to its current location in 2009, where eleven barbers now work. A fire in March 2012 closed the business for a time, but it was back up and running two months later. Readers love that Joe’s is now open seven days a week so that they can get a special cut for any occasion. Gallagher said that he and the crew are grateful for the honor. “We had quite a year and are thrilled to have survived the fire, and to be thriving with all our great customers,” he said.
