Barbershop
La Playa San Diego | Rusty Blade Barbershop
When you live in La Playa, you’re used to a certain kind of everyday style, quiet streets, water views, and time on the marina. Your haircut should match that same easy confidence. At Rusty Blade Barbershop in Point Loma, you get a private, quality‐driven barber experience that respects your time and your standards. You’re only a short drive from La Playa, and every visit is about precision, consistency, and comfort from the moment you walk in.
Step Into a Shop Built for Sharp, Reliable Results
When you sit down in the chair, you don’t have to explain what you want. A quick conversation and a few questions set the tone, then the focus shifts to clean lines, even fades, and details that actually last. Every appointment starts with a brief consultation so your barber understands your hair type, how you like to style it, and what kind of maintenance you want between visits.
You get a relaxed, professional atmosphere, no chaos, no rushed work. Just a calm space where you can shut out the noise, enjoy a drink, and let someone else take care of the details for half an hour.
Classic Barbering With Modern Technique
At Rusty Blade, traditional barber skills meet modern styles. You can keep a classic cut tight and neat or switch things up with a new fade or textured look. Your barber combines clipper work, scissor work, and razor finishing so you don’t just look good in the mirror at the shop, you still look sharp when you’re back in La Playa a week later. You have access to a complete grooming menu, so you can handle everything in one visit:
-
Haircut & Shampoo (about 30 minutes) – A precise cut with razor line‑up, shampoo, aftershave, and a complimentary beverage so you can actually relax.
-
Buzz Cut – One length all around, finished with a hot towel and razor for a clean, low‑maintenance look.
-
Classic Haircut – A clean, detailed cut with product styling and neck clean‑up so you can walk out ready for your next stop.
-
Scissor Cut – Full shear work when you want more texture, movement, and shape on top.
-
Gentleman’s Shave – Hot lather, hot towels, straight‑razor work, and aftershave for that smooth, close‑cut feel you can’t get at home.
-
Haircut + Beard Trim – Your hair and beard brought into balance in a single appointment so your whole look works together.
-
Haircut + Shave – A full cut and straight‑razor shave with facial treatment when you want the complete reset.
-
Beard Trim – Shape, line‑up, and conditioning so your beard looks intentional, not overgrown.
-
Neck Clean‑Up – A quick visit between cuts to keep your neckline sharp.
Each service uses professional tools, clean techniques, and quality products so your cut holds up in San Diego sun, salt air, and long days on the bay.
A Clean, Comfortable Space You Can Rely On
You shouldn’t have to think about hygiene when you get a haircut, it should already be handled. At Rusty Blade, every tool, chair, and station is sanitized between appointments, and you always get fresh towels and clean finishes. The shop feels comfortable and welcoming, whether you’re stopping in on your own or bringing someone with you. You can sit back, sip your drink, and know you’re in a space where attention to detail matters as much in the environment as it does in your haircut.
