You Voted for Us. That Means a Lot.

Dax Lee's was nominated for Best Barbershop in the East Bay Express Best of the East Bay readers poll — and voting just closed last Sunday.

We don't take that lightly. This is a community vote. Real people, real opinions, no algorithm deciding who deserves to win. The fact that enough of you took the time to go vote for us says something about what this shop means to the neighborhood, and we're genuinely grateful for it.
