Price is good but haircuts are often not. Barbers focus on speed, the owner forces them to. Haircuts are fair if youre lucky but theyre often very bad. If you need a haircut and want to save money then this may be the least expensive shop in town (or close to it), but if you want a good quality haircut, then go elsewhere.

The lady barber took her time and had a big job because my hair was very long and thick. I tipped her handsomely because she deserved it

Great place. And great prices. I got my boy his haircut for 7 bucks. There was no wait and the barber Debbie was great. She cut my boys hair like it was nobodys business. I would recommend this place to anyone on a budget that needs to look fresh. Awesome job Debbie!

The lady that cut my sons hair was the most patient n nicest person. My son threw the most embarrassing fit n she kept her cool. The cut would have looked better if he would have let her finish.

The dude in the second to last chair messed up my hair terribly. He doesnt know how to fade and gave me a line up that was all types of messed up. He pushed my line back and he cut the top of my hair way too short. Wouldnt recommend. I went there twice and both times I had my hair messed up.

The place has total of eight seats but only two were used considering they just opened three days ago. The Barber uses one plastic cover over the customer desposed after the hair cut.The floor was swept from the hair but it could have been done better.

When I was little my father always got his hair cut here up until the day he passed away. Now my husband gets his hair cut here. They always do a good job. Husband recommends this place.

Review №22

This is hard to believe, but the cut is as good as the $10 to $16 ones that I have tried. There isnt really any difference, so you may as well save some money, it multiplies after a few years and you will really like the result.

Review №23

I love going to this place for my haircut because it’s fast, friendly and best of all they have the best price in town. They care for their customers and actually focus on them unlike other barbershops where the barbers are on their phones talking hella loud in your ear almost or just talking to their buddies on the next chair which shouldn’t be a problem but it becomes one when they mess with your hair. So I recommend y’all should check this place out and let me know what y’all think.You’ll also enjoy looking at the Betty Boop collection Mrs. Betty has throughout the shop.

Don’t let the look of this place keep you away. It’s as old school as it gets. Always got a quick and excellent cut.

My boyfriend gets his haircuts here from a few barbers. Most of the time he comes out the way I like his hair, just like a week ago he got his hair cut from 1person & he didnt cut it right, I told my boyfriend dont ever let that guy cut your hair ever again. Other than that Im pretty satisfied. The owner is so sweet & nice, especially to my boyfriend cause hes been going there for the longest time.

Both Brothers Barbershop are hands down the best in town. Been coming here for 7-8 years now. Joe and Noble know how to make there customers feel comfortable when there. I have never left the barbershop disappointed.

Review №29

As long as you dont mind waiting for a chair to open, and sometimes waiting outside. This may be the place for you. Not all the barbers give a great haircut, but if you wait a moment instead of jumping in the first chair...you just may find a barber who can give you what your looking for ( a decent haircut).

Worse place to take your kids for haircut.never going there again. Lady cut off some of my sons eyebrows and still said it was my sons fault for moving. Hes 7 and didnt move at all. Not sure what her name is but is an elder lady and always looks grumpy with short hair

Review №32

I love how they cut my hair, many barbers to choose from, I know times change as it goes by, by for me, presentation means a lot. Seeing workers with pretty much the clothes they slept with , sandals with socks, not my choice. Yet, the work they do, nothing but good things.

Review №33

Price may look good but if your looking for a kids haircut I would NOT go here. We took our boys here for haircuts for about a year total. The price was tempting and I felt like it was worth it to get the kids hair cut since it would grow back if they messed it up. The problem is these people just don’t have the patience for kids! It has taken me YEARS of getting my kids hair cut elsewhere for them to not absolutely dread haircuts. Not worth the trouble

Been coming here since I was a child at 6 years old Im 28 years old now absolutely love this place price never changes good service just dont come during rush hour 445pm-6pm lol youll be waiting for a chair for like 25 mins maybe sometimes but other then that cant show nothing but love here!!

Review №37

Asked if they could do an old school flat top, was told the woman who was going to cut my hair has been cutting for 31 years. Took me about a minute and a half to realize I was in trouble (then it was too late), the haircut was done in 3 minutes. There was a very nice woman sitting by the window that gave the impression of being the owner, I told her that the finished cut wasnt even close to a flat top, she wanted to argue with me, something about I didnt specify what kind of flat top . . . OK, if thats the way you do business. Ive been getting this same haircut since I was 8 years old, Im 70 now, and never had to specify what kind of flat top (its flat on top?) I could have given myself this, and saved $4.00 . . . but I didnt know it was only $4.00 going in, if I had, I wouldnt have bothered. My mistake, one Ill never make again, and as a couple of others have pointed out . . . you get what you pay for.

Review №39

The Caucasian barber there messed up my horribly. I asked for a flat top and he he knew how to do it. Next thing I know I’m looking like Bert from Bert and Ernie. I had to go to a different barber shop to try to make look my hair look better. I would give this place zero stars if I could. Never ever will I get a haircut from that guy again for as long as I live.

Amazing prices. $4.50 for adult. $4.00 for children and seniors. Polite workers. The original owner (Betty Boop) still comes around occasionally. She is old-fashioned in her kindness.

Always take my boys here. Regular barber shop... None of that foo foo stuff. Great price. If you want something other than a typical Lil boys cut or a real mans cut, then go to a saloon. This is an old school barber shop. I love it

I take my 2 year old to get his haircut by Javier there. Javier does a great job and has patience with kids. Hes an awesome guy man and I feel that its too cheap what he charges for the job he does. I do have to say is that if Javier is not there no one else there will touch my boys hair.

Been going for 30 plus years, great barbershop and the owner supports our military family. If you are currently serving, haircuts are $3.00. You have 8 barbers to pick from, so dont complain if the first one got it wrong. I will always honor this barbershop. Thanks for serving us Veterans for over 50 years, SSG Sanders. Ret. If you are 100 years old...haircut is FREE

RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICES! Got told off in front of my son by one of the barbers. He couldve been nicer to understand what type of hairstyle I wanted for my son. A lady came and assisted us and I gave her a nice tip.But the good side was my son loved his haircut. Rated 3 stars!

Review №55

Great hairs cuts for the price they cut just as good as the more expensive places. Some barbers cut better then others. Like everywhere else. But for less then $5.00 it goods. They know how to blend and fade . They do it ever time I go there. The place is little dusty in some places.

Been come to this place since I was a kid or teenager to be exact. 4.00 for a cut, and it all really depends on who you see you know cause everybody has their bad barbers but I recommend seeing either the black guy with the Chinese one Im not sure about everybody else but if you want to try someone else you were warned

Review №61

The place was terrible!! As soon as the barber started I already knew that it was gonna be bad. I sat there and patiently waited and at one point started laughing because the haircut just looked flat out terrible. I asked for a 0 on the sides and a 4 on top.he didnt even bother to use the hair clippers for the top. He just used his fingers and scissors. Now looking at it and feeling it. Its extremely uneven. Also the line that goes around my head looks chewed up. Worst barber shop Ive ever been too!!😠😠

I been going to this place since I was a kid 20 years later and its horrible. The barbers are rude and go to fast. Barbers come and go so fast. Every other weekend I see new barbers and it seems like they dont care. Betty you need more barbers like Sandy. Sandy was the best barber their. He was the only person Id let touch my hair. Ive tried to let others but they dont enjoy their job as much as he did. Im done with this place never again. If anyone knows where Sandy is cutting hair at let me know.

This place has horrible service and the store is dirty and cluttery. The ladies are rude they got mad at me because I placed my water bottle on a chair even though I was offering the seat to people who wanted to sit down. Only reason why I came here is because of a particular barber that works there has been cutting my hair for years. Ended up telling her to just call me after work because I didnt wanna give another dime to this place.

My curly hair was ruined by a master barber. She jacked it up by cutting it all off. it took me over a year to grow it properly and she ruined my hair in less than 5 minutes. The employees spoke Spanish the whole time we were there and rarely spoke to us. That is rude customer service and will never go there again. one gets what one pays for.

Review №72

Barbers used to be really friendly. Been coming here for almost 6 years and the last few times, Ive had people who are grumpy and just dont seem to want to cut hair. I really used to enjoy coming here but not as much anymore. I usually tip (except for the time where I had gotten a horrible haircut from a barber who used clippers to cut off ALL my hair when I specified a fade and to leaving 2 inches on the top) but the last visit just made me feel really unwelcomed with the way I was spoken to. Think its time for me to find another location. Id gladly pay more for a barber who wont make me feel like Im burdening them for a haircut.

To bad I can give a review without giving it a star. Worst experience ever! The mexican lady with the very short hair thats the 2nd chair from the door was very rude. I took my 4 year old son there and she was pushing his head and sticking her comb in his face yelling at him to not move. We told her that he doesnt understand because he is autistic. She said that is why shes telling him to not move. My mother told her youre yelling at him and hurting him. I yelled at her and told her was veey rude. She told us to go some where else and she charged us $3 extra for the crappy haircut when kids haircuts are only $4. Awful awful woman!
