About

Indie Kutz is a Latino-owned San Diego barber shop on University Avenue in College Area, operating from a single-barber studio in the 92115 ZIP with a service range that extends beyond standard men's cuts into color work and longer-hair styling. Barber Alex Moreno handles the full menu: skin fades, tapers, and textured crops at the $40–$50 range, plus color services starting at $150 for clients who want tone work, highlights, or full-color transformation on longer lengths. The color capability sets the shop apart from most barber operations on the College Area corridor, where the majority of chairs focus strictly on clippers-and-razor work. Moreno also cuts braided and natural-hair textures, a service that overlaps with the braiding specialists at African Beauty hair Braiding & Henna further east on the same University Avenue strip. The studio sits near SDSU's south-campus commercial zone, drawing a mix of students, faculty staff, and the residential population along University Avenue between 54th and 63rd Streets. Each appointment runs 45 minutes to an hour for standard cuts, with color sessions extending to two-and-a-half to three hours depending on lift and tone requirements. The shop's walk-up-style booking through an online platform keeps the schedule tight, and same-week availability varies by season. Clients who pair their cut with streetwear shopping on the College Area corridor find Cali Wear SD within the same neighborhood for San Diego-branded apparel and accessories. Free parking in the lot adjacent to the University Avenue storefront handles the after-work appointment crowd.
