My son needed his summer hair cleaned up before school pictures. Friends Barber Shop is down the street from my home in the same plaza as the 7-11 so I decided to give them a try. There was no one in the shop when we arrived so my son was able to get a chair right away. Ernesto was the barber who worked on my son's hair. My son had no idea what he wanted to do to his hair but knew he wanted to grow it out and just clean up the sides. We showed Ernesto a picture of my son's hair before his summer buzz cut (the style he wants to get back to), and Ernesto understood the goal and communicated what he was going to do before he started cutting. He made sure to not touch the top to keep it long and just fade the sides and back. End result looked great! I liked that Ernesto didn't rush and spent time on making sure my son's hair was even. Cash only, walk-in only (no appointments). Parking can be difficult as the lot is small with limited spots. Highly recommend! read more

Second time coming here! Great barber experience. Ernie and Jay are super chill and the vibes at this barbershop are equally nice. Jay did a great cut the first time and repeated the same cut again the same way I liked it - which is hard to find in most barbers. It's also near my school, which makes this a prime spot for me. read more

This place never disappoints! The team is always welcoming and professional, and they go out of their way to accommodate us -- even when we come in close to closing time. My son is pretty particular about his hair, and he has never once been disappointed with his haircut. They really take their time, pay attention to detail, and make sure he leaves happy. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of service you receive. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Everything you would want in a barber. Mine is Bryan. Always a walk in but the barbers are easy to talk to and if u don't like the cut they will do what they can to make sure you are happy. Great price great service and always leave happy with my cut. read more

[Update] owner offered a refund and apologized for the miscommunication. I originally wrote the review out of frustration with the situation, but cant hold it against them since sometimes shit happens. Big respect to the owner on how he responded and owned up to my experience. ------ To preface: I think this place is generally pretty solid. Most of the barbers do a pretty good job and there usually isn't too long of a wait. However, if you're someone like me- who cares about time and quality and doesn't stick to one barber only, this might not be the best spot to rely on for a cut, as you're going to get subpar treatment. My hair grows pretty quick and I like keeping it tidy, so I get a haircut every few weeks. I've been coming to Friends roughly every month over the past month. Haven't really had any issues until this last time I visited. There were 3 people ahead of me and I've been waiting for an hour, I'm up next. The owner barber just wrapped up and is looking for the next person to cut. He asks me if he can take the person after me instead, as that person waits on him and the other barber will be wrapped up soon. I say sure (what else am I gonna say?). I proceed to wait another 20-30 minutes and by the time I get started with the other barber, the owner barber is pretty much done with the person who arrived after me. Ok cool I get it, I'm not that important to you- I'm just a regular customer who goes around to the first available barber. To make matters worse, the other barber, who just spent like an hour+ cutting his friend's hair- clearly was rushing through to finish my haircut as I'm the last customer in the store. Probably won't be coming back here again. The workers are cool and you'll probably have a good experience if you stick to one barber and build rapport. read more

yesterday the lady mess up my hair I feel so mad！！ but I still show respect my two sides are not even I need wait my hair grow long then go to another store fix it read more

I wanted to gush and rave about the amazing haircut that I received from Jay on Wednesday, 02.18.2026. Firstly, he was very friendly and conversational and remembered me from the first time he had cut my hair. Secondly, he was very detailed, thorough, and attentive in how he cut my hair. Thirdly, he was very helpful in answering my questions and helping me figure out exactly how I want my beard cut moving forward. Thank you Jay for an amazing haircut!! I highly recommend Jay to anyone who needs a good haircut. read more

$20-25. Walk ins and cash only. Service was great and fast. Quality also amazing. My sons wanted just to trim their hair while keeping it long locks and they did a great job. My sons were very satisfied. Vibe was friendly. There were long benches for us to wait while watching Man in Black. read more

They always do a great job on my son's hair! We've been coming to them since they were J&M.

Took my brother here a few times and Sonia nailed it every time! Very friendly service. Thanks guys!

Hands down best barbershop. Always a chill time, they do a stand up job. The owners are great, they're also good with children's hair. My son gets a mullet and they always deliver. If you're reading this and thinking about trying them out, just do it. You won't regret it read more

Well I've been to this barber shop 3 times. Very clean nice and welcoming, great prices too. 1. The first time I went the owners wife pointed out that I had dandruff as if I didn't know that already, thanks for that. Continued to ask if I ever heard of head and shoulders, I informed her that it's the dandruff and eczema and that those products don't work it makes it worse and we proceeded onward. The cut was great cant complain. 2. Time number two the owners wife wasn't there so I had this Asian lady who in fact gave me what I wanted cut came out great fast and just in time didn't mention my dandruff or eczema. Two stars for you 3. This last time I went in I got the young barber who isn't as seasoned as the owner, all I can say is just wait for the owner to do the cut, I'm not knocking anyone down or saying don't go here but I asked for a certain cut and I think I got some what of a fade, and he started what looked like to me a line up that I didn't ask for and hair was still there where he cut. He said he was done. No mirror was given for me to look at and the owner had to tell him 3 time to fix the back with shears not the trimmer, he grabs the trimmers and said with this again owner said no, stopped his customers cut to fix my hair. I always start with a 5 star but the first and last time I've been there I've felt a little dissatisfied. You guys are great. Not knocking anyone. read more

Always get quality cuts here and the owner really cares about his customers. Another plus is they always have movies or shows playing on TVs inside. read more

Friends barbershop is a great and clean barber shop and all of the barbers are very friendly and welcoming. All my haircuts have been great and consistent and I will continue to come back. read more

This review is after my 4th or 5th haircut there. I've had Brian, Lianne, and Ernie cut my hair at different sessions and all have been nice and professional and just a hell of a job each time. I'm glad they opened that location and look forward to more handsome cuts with them since i get compliments every time i go to work. :) read more

This is a great barbershop that I have been going to for over a year. They are friendly and treat the clients really well. I am leaving this review after a year because one visit never tells the whole story. My barber is Brian and he is a very good barber who is very fair. Dont hesitate to come here; As a black man in West Covina it's hard to find a barber shop that can cut our hair but this is the spot. read more

Service was quick and amazing. I showed a picture of what I want and she was able to pull it off without issue. The fade was great and her service was amazing. I requested a line-up but she didn't charge me for it since it's necessary but she offered to clean it up instead. These are honest barbers and definitely coming back read more

Got a haircut a year ago and the lady that cut my hair just started cutting with no idea how to get the desired haircut. I would have gave more instructions and pictures but she just started cutting. Cut my bangs way too short and I had to ask my barber friend to fix it. read more

Great spot to get a haircut and definitely can't beat the price. Definitely going to be an regular there from now on. Thanks Ernest for awesome cut! read more

Solid new barbershop for the area! Brian cuts great hair, no frills, fair prices and usually little wait. I've gone to a number of shops in the area at all price ranges and wasn't totally impressed, but Friends has become my go to for myself and my boys. Next door to Alamo car wash so if you plan it right, you and your ride can get cleaned up at the same time. read more

Solid barber shop , good prices , and friendly barbers. They know a lot about sports and play good movies .

Affordable cut and amazing customer service definitely a underrated business and a small business with professional barber.

BEWARE! Barbers itch/rash and contamination going on! They don't disinfect their razors/clippers and I came out the past 3 times with my neck red and burning and in pain. I was practically crying in the shower. Others also had similar redness/rash on their neck. read more

Such positive welcoming vibes the second you walk in! I used to get my fades here when Jaime owned it until I moved. However today I happened to be in the area. Leanne was very understanding on the exact fade I wanted when I showed her past haircut pics from my phone. She even had some football knowledge! In all the cut came out marvelous and I walked out of there feeling like Outkast... so Fresh, so Clean read more

I never post on yelp but just had to support this shop. Great quality fade and friendly barbers and great price. Family friendly with plenty of TVs to keep kids entertained and no loud inappropriate music blaring like so many other barbershops do nowadays. Best barbershop in Walnut/West Covina area and very flexible. read more

Found this shop when my normal barber closed up shop early when I had a 3:30 appointment! Ernest was great, professional, knocked out the cut with ease and charged like $12 less than my normal barbershop. Appreciate the service, I'll be back for sure with my kids. read more

Edgar is awesome, had my haircut there twice and always comes out the way I want it to. Definitely the only place I will get my haircut done for sure. read more

Great customer service very professional AND gave my son an amazing haircut. My son loved his new haircut so much that he asked to go back and get all of his future cuts there read more

I've been coming here for almost 2 years now and every time they've done me great but I just went again today and it was the worst haircut of my LIFE. I walk in and give the guy instruction on what to do and instead of asking me if it was okay he just started doing his own thing. I asked for 1-2 inches off the side and he cuts the front of my hair making it shorter than the sides. He finishes my cut my gelling my hair flat. To add to how horrible the cut was throughout the haircut he sprays me once on each side without saying a word and it gets into my eyes each time. I really used to like this place but this guy has ruined my experience and I don't think i'll ever come back again. I'm disappointed and honestly very upset. read more
