Long-Hair Cut in National City, CA

Longer and textured hair — afros, curls, or hair you're growing out — gets cut and shaped the same way any other style does here, with no extra charge for length or texture. The goal is usually shaping and cleaning up the perimeter without flattening the natural curl or cutting off more length than you want.

Book this if you're growing your hair out and need it shaped instead of shortened, if your curls or afro need the ends cleaned up, or if you want a fade underneath while keeping real length on top. It's also the right call if a previous cut left your hairline or neckline uneven and you want it corrected without losing the length up top.

Scissor work shapes the top and sides to keep the natural curl pattern or length intact, while clippers clean up the neckline, sideburns, and any fade underneath if you want one. The hairline gets defined with a trimmer or razor to finish. Same $40 price and 35-minute appointment as a short cut.

A long-hair cut doesn't cost extra — it's included in the $40 Basic Haircut, the same 35-minute appointment as any other style on this list. Add a beard trim and straight razor shave and it becomes the $50 Full Service instead. Either way, the price is set before you sit down, with no separate line-up or blending fee on top of it.

Every cut happens in a private one-chair suite at Phenix Salon Suites — no other clients in the room, no rushing between chairs. Isaac Castro is a barber licensed by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology (license #113286, verifiable free at search.dca.ca.gov), and every tool is sanitized between clients under the state's health and safety rules. If a normal appointment doesn't fit your schedule, the After Hours service opens the suite any time, day or night, for the same price.
