I've been here three times. First one was awful. The guy last seat in. He doesn't listen to how you want it cut. Then I went to Donnie and I was very happy. Then the same guy was the only one there and he basically gave me a buzz cut. This is rediculous. I ask for a 2 on the sides and showed him how much off top. He gives me a 1 on the sides and 1" or more off the top. In the end both times he cut my hair the way his looks. If he can't listen and understand then he needs to retire. I still ended up paying him but this is resiculous. Always ask for Donnie read more

I will say this, your experience may depend on which barber you get. Ask for Donny, he's the owner, personable, and does a fantastic job!

I've been coming here for a while. It got the job done but was never a perfect haircut. Also they don't always keep their hours. I've shown up when they've been closed an hour before their posted hours. Overnight they increased their prices by 100%. (From $15 to $30) The man who cut my hair didn't ask questions on length, how I wanted the back, etc. It's possible that when Donny (the owner) is on his A game, his haircuts are well done but not for the other guy. Go some place else for a haircut because this place doesn't deliver value. On the other hand, they do like to display dark Christian messages that can be read outside the shop so that might be a plus to some people. read more

Boadway's Barber Shop - Outside of the shop, their depressing verse of the day. - Barbers Near Me - Loma Linda, California

I typically visit Newby's Barber Shop in Hesperia but I needed a cut today. And these guys did NOT disappoint. I believe my barber was Donald. He was really meticulous and friendly. My cut was perfect, and exactly as I had asked him to style it. I told him I would be back again and I meant it. It's a simple shop. No frills. I'd rather skip the rock and roll haircut for a fundamentally-sound cut. Go to these guys. read more

Like Mark D. mentioned, price increase from $15 to $30 was too much. My 3 year old son and I used to go here for many years for simple haircut until we noticed the recent price change. I really don't understand why the owner decided to loose customers like this. read more

Found this shop on yelp today, and i really needed a hair cut. Donny did a great job and will now be my regular barber. So if you need a great cut. This is the shop for you. read more

Boadway's Barber Shop - Very clean and friendly shop - Barbers Near Me - Loma Linda, California

Great place! good barbers and great prices Come here every time I'm in town good place over all read more

Donny is great. The shop is small. There is seating for about 6 people with a coffee table full f magazines. There are 2 barbers & the price is $15. By Loma Linda University, parking could possibly be a challenge though I've always gotten a space when I've gone. Very satisfied with my haircut. read more

If I'm going to be paying $30 for a basic haircut I at least want the barber to look up and acknowledge when I walk into the shop, there was literally only three people in there. The barber did an okay job, but the guy is just generally gruff and rude. I was there for 45min and I don't think anyone said a single word. Do yourself a favor and find someone who cares about customer comfort and experience. read more

Don Boadway is our favorite!! He has exceptional skills and is always kind and friendly. Excellent value!! read more

Dropped in a couple of times and I will definitely become a regular. It's affordable and ideal for a guy looking for a barbershop in the Inland Empire that's not overpriced or ghetto. I went with the gentleman's haircut both times and left feeling satisfied, I wasn't rushed and was asked if there was anything else I wanted. Don knows what he is doing, when I asked for pomade he massaged it in and really fixed it up. For me waiting hasn't been too bad, normally there's one or two people in front but generally I get there 10 - 20 minutes before my appointment so I don't worry about the time for my parking. Warning: parking is pretty difficult so come on a weekday because Loma Linda can be unforgiving to drivers stopping by. Overall it's a dependable barbershop that I will certainly return to. read more

I am in shocked of what happened today! I went in for a haircut and everything was just fine like normal. Then I left and got my cousin over here because I've been telling him about this place. My cousin never been here before and he was disrespectfully treated by Donald. My cousin ask the barber for a haircut and explained himself well, but the barber was having a bad day and went off on my cousin after he asked him to cut a little bit more off the top of his head. I'm in shocked and very embarrassed of what happened today. Will never return to this place and will never recommend this place to anybody anymore. He told my cousin are you going to pay me 10 times to cut your hair shorter?? Well, you showed him a mirror and you asked him if he liked it or not and all he said is asking you to cut the top a little bit more. So sad to see this happening! read more

took my teenage son her yesterday. he is pretty particular about his hair. Donny did an amazing job, it was quick and exactly what was needed. great space and reasonably priced! read more

Well, I went for the haircut, I told him what kind of haircut I want and I showed him the photo of my hairs. In the end. I told him that I asked you to make some Fleeks on the forehead but you cut all the hairs even then I didn't say anything to him and I told him its okay. Then I tried to pay him his money then He said, I will not take it because you didn't give me the respect on the chair, So I will not take any money. Then he said, you don't know how to communicate. You didn't explain me well. I said, sorry might be you didn't understand something but he was like never come to my shop again and I said, you need to take the money because you did the work and I am supposed to pay but he said no. And he said, get out of my shop right now and he pushed me out of the shop. I felt discriminated, I felt mentally harassed at this shop. I am going to take legal action against this shop because I am respectful person and I didn't say anything to him because I was with my family. I felt mentally harassed. I was not able to sleep the whole night. I will never recommend anyone to go to this shop. read more

Boadway's Barber Shop - The outside looks really cool - Barbers Near Me - Loma Linda, California

I've been coming here before covid and their service is still as amazing as back then. They're following covid safety protocols and I felt very safe there read more

I would give a zero stars if I can. I got a haircut last year and when I walked in he did not ask me what I want. He shaved my whole head off and charged me $15. If you are into military haircut I can do it for free for you instead of going to this place. Avoid this place at all cost! read more

Let's keep this short & sweet: Boadway's Barber Shop has got the BEST prices and service. All haircuts are only $10, and for a couple more bucks you can get your facial hair cleaned up as well. They're closed Fridays & Saturdays, and there's street parking available in front of the shop if you can nag a spot. Each of their barbers do an amazing job and, of course, if you want a cut you're guaranteed to like, make an appointment with Donnie! A good deal of my friends SWEAR by this barbershop; many students from campuses nearby (Loma Linda to UC Riverside) all come here for their haircuts. I would recommend no other barber shop in the area! read more

The staff here are friendly. Just like the old days where friendships and news were shared in the barber shop. The hair cut my boyfriend gets here always looks great! Sometimes I go with him just to enjoy the atmosphere of the shop. read more

This was the worst barber experience of my life. I made an appointment online a few days ago and no one seems to be checking the system or paying any attention to the appointment schedule because I still had to wait 45 minutes. I now wish the wait time was my only problem. This is by far the ugliest haircut I have ever received. I would post pictures to prove my point but I'm too embarrassed. I'm going to have to wear a hat or beanie every day for the next few weeks. The barber had no sense of length, cutting my hair about half of the size I told him to. The "fade" is pretty much just a 0 up to my temple area and a hard line. He also said he "doesn't do" line ups or hard parts. I think I have never looked worse in my life. A self haircut at home would be better. Don't get your haircut here. You get what you pay for. If you want something simple like a buzz or crew cut you should be able to do that at home anyways. If you want anything else like a fade, lineup, or part, just shell out the $15-$20 at another real barbershop. You never want to go to a barbershop looking worse than when you came in. Save yourself the trouble. read more

REVIEW BASED ON INTERACTION, NOT A HAIRCUT We stopped by today to see how long the wait was to get my son's haircut. We had groceries in the car and it's very hot out so we just wanted to get an idea of how long it would be. My husband ran in to ask the barbers at Boadway's while I waited in the car with our two toddlers. My husband opened the door and said "hi, excuse me, how long is the wait for a haircut?" (My husband is a super polite person). One of the barbers looks at the other barber (both are cutting people's hair) and then turns to my husband and says, "how many people do you see sitting in the chair over there?" My husband replies, "um, one." The barber then says, "so that's the wait." I told my husband never mind when he came and told me this. I'm not giving business to a shop that talks to people in a rude and condescending manner ... and all just because a simple question was asked? They lost potential returning customers due to this interaction and I would not recommend any business that cannot treat another human being with basic decency and respect. read more

Been coming to Boadway's for awhile now and I gotta say I love coming here. It's a quiet little spot right by LLU. I enjoy the old time feeling of a real barber shop and not to mention $10 cuts, any cut you want is a great price. Donnie is my go-to guy every time i love the way he cuts my hair and his use of sheers and comb is a true testament to his barber knowledge and skills. Keep up the good work boys! read more

Fresh cut by Donald! First time here. My two sons got comb over fades with a part, they look handsome! Thanks Donald for delivering quality! You made our day and made us loyal clients! God bless . read more

Boadway's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Loma Linda, California

I have been coming to Boadway's now for 29 years. But today will be my last time. Walked in to get my haircut and the price for a haircut has "doubled" from $15 to $30. I have always had a good haircut from Ivan and I could always count on him to do it the way I wanted. However, there is "no" justification for "doubling" your prices. You could tell me that prices are going up on everything and you would be right. You could even tell me that you did a market survey of barbershop pricing in the area and you are now in line with others and that too might be right. However, the others in the area did not double their pricing from what it was. In addition, you doubled the pricing and added no additional value or services for the huge price increase. I may go to another barber and pay similar pricing to your new $30 price, however, I will go to the other barber and not to you, for the principle. Boadway's no longer cares about their loyal customers and it is evident with the price doubling. There are many other choices in the area and you just made it an easy decision to stop going to Boadway's. Whether Loma Linda Medical asks you to vacate for some project that they want to do or you lose enough loyal customers, you days are numbered. It is a shame as I don't think Don Boadway, if he were here today, would approve of the handling of this. Your business now Donny, for however long it lasts, but you lost a loyal customer today and I suspect many others. read more

This is my first visit and I am glad my 'former' barber was closed today. Great ol' time barbershop feel and I will be back. As they say, "the price is right Drew!" read more

Just saw this idiot come in to the packed barbershop, sit down, saw how busy it was and went online and made an appointment to be next. Many of us had been waiting more than an hour. Poor business practice to allow this, but worse, this miilenial who selfishly took advantage of the situation read more

Donnie is amazing. I first met him when he shaved my head and he was like, What's the story? A few months later, my hair is all wild and I ask Donnie whether he has ideas for how I should grow out my hair. He literally spent time planning a future hairstyle and modified based on the current length of my hair. Then he spent 50 minutes shaping every last corner and angle of my 'do. I got lots of compliments the same day! What a treasure. Women, don't hesitate to check out this barber shop! read more

Boadway's Barber Shop - 50 minutes of super precise work later... - Barbers Near Me - Loma Linda, California

Not great for small children and the wait is ridiculous even when you have an appointment

This was my go to barbershop because of the fair prices. I don't ask for much, just a simple haircut like a trim, nothing fancy/trendy. And to be honest, there was only one guy at the shop that actually knew how to cut, the older gentleman, not the younger gentleman with glasses. The younger dude was just okay, but the older dude knew how to cut. Unfortunately, I usually get my hair cut by the younger dude because he just happens to not be busy when I show up, and I don't know how to decline his services without coming across as rude. Anyways, as you can guess.... I got my haircut by the younger dude with glasses, but this time, he asked me for $30. I understand inflation, but doubling the price made me not want to come back especially if he cuts my hair because then I can just cut my own hair and get the same results. At first, I thought he was joking when he said $30, but he wasn't. I was disappointed, but I still tipped, reluctantly. Now, I don't care if I come across as rude. Young dude with glasses, or whatever your name is... you AIN'T cuttin my hair NO MO!!! I'm only giving 2 stars because of the older gentleman that knows how to cut hair; otherwise, I would rate 1 star because of the price. If the price didn't change, then maybe a 4 because of the older gentleman. 2 stars based on service and price. Now, I have to go find another barbershop that I avoided because of the $30 prices, but at least all of the barbers there generally know how to cut and provide an overall better experience/service. read more

Once again, Donny does an amazing job! He never disappoints. Whenever I ask for something specific he hears me out and gives me suggestions. His technique and attention to detail give me confidence that my hair cut is going to be nothing but his best. The only thing is that Donny does take his time so it's recommended to schedule with him ahead of time or be prepared to wait. I've been lucky enough to usually only have one or two people ahead of me most of the time. Best of all, you can not beat $10 for a quality haircut. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!! I found this place on yelp and reviews looked okay. I drove from Yucaipa to go here since most places where I live are horrible. I Had a appointment at 10am. It says to please show up 15 minutes before your appointment. No biggie. I drive 25 minutes to shop to find that parking is a bad situation. No parking spots but the street which were all full. Had to park in university parking where I could get a ticket. So I wait 25 minutes and guess what the owner is not there for my appointment. I leave and get a phone call from Donnie the owner asking if I left and saying sorry. Sorry doesn't pay for my gas to drive to his shop or my hour I lost in the day. As a business owner you should show up for your clients appointment or atleast have the decency to call me to let me know you would be late. Sorry excuse for a owner. I don't care if you give the best haircut but not showing up on time for my appointment is pathetic. read more

I can't believe it took me over 4 years to come to this spot even though my school was right next to this place. After graduating from Loma Linda University and walking by this place numerous times I decided I needed a haircut & beard trim due to an upcoming wedding. Parking is the only issue at this spot since you have to park by the street which is I think 1 hour parking. Wait time wasn't too bad and Donnie took his time to listed to what I wanted/expected. I asked for a fade and to trim my beard to a 3. He showed me the mirror 2-3 times to see if I wanted to change anything to my liking. I gotta say, I'm pretty pleased with the results. He only charges $10 for haircut & beard trim which is pretty cheap as I usually get it done for around $15-20. I highly recommend this place to students and locals and will definitely be back. read more

Since I moved to Redlands in the summer of 2016 I needed a place to cut. Searched on Yelp and found this place online. I didn't know the area too well and found out it's right on the Loma Linda U campus. I had seen it closes on Friday and Saturdays which I figured I knew due to being in a faith based area. Went in and an older man was very friendly and cut my hair. I think he's the owner or what not. He did everything awesome and in a timely manner. Ever since then I've always come back. I can't beat $10 anywhere else. They keep it old school which I like. There could be a 30 minute wait and I'll still get my hair cut there. read more

Took my 14 year old son in yesterday. He is in ROTC and we asked for a military cut, short on the sides & back and a little longer at the top. He walked out of there looking like a Qtip ... short, same length all over. I could have done that myself at home and saved $15. Needless to say we won't be back ... read more

Best barber shop around! Ask for Donny. Can't beat the price! It's the one of the last true barber shops left.

It's $15 now! I think haircuts should be $5 before tips but those places disappeared a few years back... Hahaha. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. There were people there that got there before me and left afterwards but they wanted a specific person. I didn't think it matters who cuts my hair. I got the older gentleman with the chair furthest inside and he gave me the cut I asked for. I don't know why people wait longer than they have too... There is limited parking though because of the construction, but I just need 1 space. I was willing to deal with the parking issue for $10 but not for $15. read more

Came over here for the first time for a haircut! I explained to "Don" the way I like my haircut. For some reasons the guy wasn't in the mood and went off on me after I "POLITELY" asked him to cut the top of my head a little bit more when he showed me the mirror. He said we are not playing games here!! Tell me what you want from the beginning! I was so embarrassed in front of customers and didn't know what to tell him. I told him I'm not playing games, and this is my first time coming here and I am only asking you to cut a little bit more and I thought that's why you showed me the mirror! Out of nowhere he continued to yell at me saying you're taking the time of other customers, are you going to pay me 10 times for this haircut??? This was my first time asking him to cut a little more, and still can't figure out why he did that!! I'll never recommend this place to anyone. This place has a misunderstanding of what customer service is!!! read more

I am very picky when it comes to getting a fade. It is hard to find a barber that knows what they are doing. This place is one of the few spots where I am a returning customer. Every time I come to Loma Linda for a visit, I stop by here to get a hair cut. I usually go to Donald but he had a long line waiting. So I decided to give Irvin a shot. I got my usual medium skin fade. Irvin wasn't too bad. He still did a good job with the fade. From my observation I think he does a better job with regular fade than a skin fade. Haven't had a bad experience here. Most of the barber i usually go to cost $20 and not every one that I been to is a good experience. For $10 any hair cut? Can't really beat that, especially when it's a good cut with good barbers. read more

First time I cut my son's hair and wanted to do it somewhere besides super cuts. My mom had told about this little barbershop and I made an appointment online. Donny took very good care of my son. He let me sit with him since my son was crying and freaking out. He took his time and was very professional. I will definately come here again. Thank you for the experience! read more
