I strode into Harbison Barber Shop with the confidence of a man who expects excellence--and I left looking like I could deliver the evening news and steal your girlfriend's attention at the same time. They gave me a drop skin fade so clean, so precise, it deserves its own slow-motion montage. I'm not saying it changed my life... but people are holding doors for me now. The fade was seamless. Impeccable. A true work of grooming journalism. The lines were sharp, the blend was smooth, and the attention to detail was nothing short of heroic. This wasn't just a haircut--it was a statement. A well-researched, fact-checked, broadcast-ready statement. The shop itself? Professional, welcoming, and buzzing with the quiet confidence of people who absolutely know what they're doing. No rush, no guesswork--just skill, pride, and clippers working in harmony like a perfectly tuned jazz band. In conclusion: Harbison Barber Shop is kind of a big deal. If you want a drop skin fade that commands respect and possibly applause, this is the place. Stay sharp, stay classy, and good evening. read more

I tried to make an appointment for couple of weeks now . Barber John took my phone number. He never called me. For whatever reason he should at least tell me He'll be fully booked for weeks. That's a major part of customer service. read more

I'm trying to make an appointment and the guy told me he will call me. But he never did. So I call the shop again and now he told me he's fully booked. Very bad customer service. Don't ever waste your time to this barber shop. For sure you can find that provide and value customers. read more

The young guy barber is really good at what he does. Always gets it right for anyone! Totally recommend this barber read more

I've been here many times throughout the years, and although it isn't my default barbershop to go to, it's pretty close. The place is a nice size with 3-4 barber chairs and usually 2-3 barbers available. They've got a TV, which usually has TFC on so I don't mind as it's nice to hear the Tagalog language. The wait to get a haircut goes by quickly and the barbers are always cool and ask you what styles you want. They take their time and at the end they rub an aftershave (well, I usually get fades here), and dust around multiple times. Overall, nice cool local spot to get a haircut, which is $10 for the basic styles. Thanks! read more

Harbison Barber Shop - Storefront. - Barbers Near Me - National City, California

Risa, does a fantastic job at giving me a good looking fade. When I ask for a fade at most chain salons *cough Great Clips, Supercuts* they always do a poor job at making the fade look even all around my head. This place doesn't have the shine and glitz of a franchise salon but that's not what's important in my humble opinion. If you're looking for a quality fade at a better price than those "budget" salons, give this place a chance and make sure to ask for the owner, Risa. read more

I have been coming here since the 80's. Cuts are fair. Hair grows back. Until you choose the right barber among the 4 there, you get what you get. You need to be specific. I usually wait for the Kuya at the end close to the refrigerator. read more

No frills barber shop. One of the best shops for fade cuts...I usually like mine at a zero, and they get the cut down to the stubble. The only other shops in town I can think of that do fades equally are Hoa's a few miles away and Superior cuts in Chula Vista. I can say honestly, expect this to be your typical Filipino barbershop with TFC playing on the TV and the plastic lawn chairs sprawled out for seats. I had an interesting story here one time where my barber (the old guy with glasses) and some other barber (another old guy with slicked back hair) were duking it out and straight up fighting while I was in the middle of a haircut. It was funny and a bit awkward @ the same time...I said to myself I should probably not get my haircut here anymore...but then I realized, this is one of the few spots in town that gets the fade down and clean...and here I am every few weeks again . read more

i wanted to shave my head, but i don't own clippers. i came here. this is a barber shop, and is a very specialized service. they basically do 2 (maybe 3) types of haircuts and that's it. they will shave your head. a military style cut. (e.g., crew cut or high and tight). the regular - which looks eerily like a military cut. think leave it to beaver 50's hairstyle. if you're looking to get something else, you will be sadly disappointed. this is a filipino owned business, and everyone who cuts hair here is filipino. meaning that wowee will most likely be playing on the filipino channel. read more

I never post reviews on this app ,but at this current time, i'm angry. If you ever come by for a haircut, do NOT get you hair cut by the only male worker there. You ask for 1/2 inch of hair to be cut off, he chops 2-3 inches. Tbh he should be fired because he's the only one who slacks. read more

when im not cutting my own hair, im sitting ina white plastic lawn chair at harbison's. i remember when the price for a regular cut was $4.. now its $10 but id gladly pay this new inflated ass price cause i love filipino businesses who blast TFC and waft of filipino food. the dudes definitely know how to line up a good fade. just dont go there with a 6inch fro n tell em to take off a few, theyll seriously tell you to GTFO in tagalog n remind you where the door is. its clean, its fast, theyregood, they really are it! read more

I don't usually post reviews, but for this place I just HAVE to warn people about this place (if this is really the one next to Save-A-Lot) I was looking for a new barber due to my fav one being closed on Mondays and that is my most free day of the week. First the lady barber asked if I wanted short, medium, or long sideburns. I said medium, yet she cut them SUPER SHORT. That looks really ugly on me. She shaves your chin/cheekbones whether you've already shaved or not. My biggest concern is that SHE SHAVED MY LOWER NECK! Not the part that ends your hair, but the WHOLE neck.. she shaved my WHOLE NECK including the part that is right above your back. She did it twice. And I had to DODGE the third attempt to shaving my neck. If you shave a part of your face/body that there's no hair at, then you WILL start growing hair there. And I am VERY SCARED that because of that lady shaving my back/lower neck that I will start to grow hair on my lower neck and upper back.. and look VERY ugly and have to ask special specific directions to the next barber every single time. Also I had long top hair before I got in .. I said, "cut a little bit off the top" cuz I wanted to have some short bangs, but she gave me what is about half an inch away from a military crew cut! Not the way I wanted! BE WARNED! If you get your haircut here, you might end up with a hairy back! read more

Very sad to find out that my regular barber here, the Bald Filipino guy with the glasses passed away from lung cancer a few months ago, what a shame. He has been cutting my hair for so many years now, he always does a good job and helped me with what hairstyle I'm going for. Sad to see a great humble guy go. The other filipino guy- always wears a white long sleeve shirt and flossing the 18k gold in here is rude and gets irritated when you ask him to line you up or put aftershave after your cut. I probably would get my haircut now at Roger's barber shop over in Spring Valley, on the base, or at superior cuts in Chula Vista. read more

Been getting my high and tight cuts here for over 20 years. When you find a good place to get something done right you stay. I've gotten to know some wonderful barbers over the years and enjoy the fellowship. read more

Great job. Got a basic hair cut. She took her time and it looked good.

I do not recommend this barber shop to kids especially kids with special needs. The lady owner of this shop is not gentle to handle kids, she is so mean and talks like she is always mad to everyone. It would be better if she talk nicely especially to kids. It was a sad experience for me and for my son going to that barber shop. read more
