The Basics Barbershop
Founded in Sacramento to elevate your everyday look, The Basics is more than a barbershop—it’s a destination. Here, skin fades meet heavyweight tees, and timeless barbering meets local swagger. Two spots (Downtown & Citrus Heights), real barbers, authentic vibes.

what we provide
From precision fades and beard trims to hair color and VIP treatments, we offer everything you need to stay fresh. Every service is crafted with skill, style, and serious attention to detail.
Adult Haircut
Precision tailored to your style — from skin fades and tapers to clean trims and full restyles. We don’t rush the process; every cut is crafted with detail, balance, and edge.
Kids Haircut
Kid-friendly, parent-approved. We create a calm, professional vibe so young clients leave with clean cuts and no tears — just style they’ll feel good about.
Haircut + Beard
Whether it's a low, mid, high, or bald fade — we keep the lines clean and transitions seamless. Our barbers are trained in every type of fade and know how to blend it to perfection.
Above The Basics
The presidential. Pamper yourself and enjoy a full service haircut and beard PLUS hot towel, cold towel, face scrub with steam, black mask, and anti-aging eye mask.
Hair Dye
From subtle tone-ups to bold color changes, we offer professional dye services that match your vibe. We use high-quality products for long-lasting color and clean application.
Styling Products
Slick, textured, messy, or clean? Ask your barber about the best products to maintain your look between visits — we only recommend what we’d use ourselves.
