About

Habibi Cut is a San Diego barber shop on El Cajon Boulevard in College Area, run by owner-barber Saif out of a single-chair studio at the Euclid Avenue intersection in the 92115 ZIP. Saif has been cutting hair for over a decade, building a client base that returns for his precision with clippers and straight razors on skin fades, shadow fades, tapers, and gentleman's cuts. The service menu covers both textured and straight hair, with blade work calibrated to coarse, curly, and fine hair types, and clients who need color, highlights, or longer-length styling beyond barber scope head to The Boulevard Hair Salon on the same El Cajon Boulevard strip. The one-chair format means each client gets uninterrupted attention from start to finish without rotation between barbers, and appointments are required. Beard shaping uses an outline-and-fill technique with a straight razor for clean jaw and cheek lines, finished with hot lather and a straight-razor neckline cleanup. The El Cajon Boulevard corridor through College Area draws from Middle Eastern, East African, and Latin American communities near SDSU, and the shop's range across hair textures reflects that demographic mix. The shop stocks finishing products for post-cut hold and texture, and grooming supply needs beyond the chair are covered by Beauty Supply Warehouse in the same College Area retail cluster. Walk-in traffic from the SDSU corridor keeps the book full during the academic year, with summer months shifting toward the residential base along El Cajon Boulevard east of 47th Street.
