I just moved to Riverside just a month ago and I have been on the lookout for a barber weeks…read morebefore even moving. I've been with my barber back home in Hawaii for almost 3 years and let me tell you, it has been a struggle to find someone who can cut my hair the way I like it. Living in Riverside for almost a month I knew I needed to find a barber ASAP, and it has been difficult as most barbershops were closed due to COVID-19, however, there are a few that are operating and creating a safe and healthy environment. I met a friend online that lived in the SB area and he recommended Obie's Barber Shop & Shaving Parlor. I was a bit hesitant as this would be my first cut in CA and I was afraid of the outcome. I eventually decided to just do it because self-care is super important and getting my haircut is self-care for me. I called Obie's barbershop and they were very helpful, I asked if they had any openings the following day and the nice lady stated that there are, she even asked if this would be the first time I'm getting a cut at their shop, I said yes and that I just moved here. She was very helpful in walking me through the process of their new protocols with social distancing. The next day I received a text from my barber, Miguel, and reminded me of my appointment along with an image of their new protocols. Parking is easily accessible at this shop and you can see the barbers cutting outside. Instructions stated to wait in the car until I received a text to go in. I thought this was very efficient to stop people from crowding and to continue to practice social distancing. I saw how they sanitized everything before a new client arrived, and I really appreciate that because it shows how much they care about their clients. Once it was my turn to go in, Miguel texted me and I was greeted with a friendly environment. He asked what I was looking to get done, and I told him my regular cut, which was a Medium fade for the sides, side comb, no hard part, and half an inch on the top. Miguel really did an amazing job on the cut and I enjoyed the conversations we had. Shoutout to the owner for being the mastermind behind the outdoor set-up and allowing your clients to continue to get their haircuts in a safe environment. 10/10 would recommend this place!

Been coming here for a few years now. If you're looking for a tight fade, Frank is your guy. It's…read morealways so clean and I always get complimented when I get a nice cut. BUT that's not all he can do. Right now I'm in the process of growing out my hair and Frank has been instrumental. If anyone has done this, they know how annoying that mid point can be so it's nice to be able to go get a trim and get input from someone who knows hair. He asks questions and has requested inspo pics to make sure we are cutting my hair correctly to achieve the right results. Note about parking: His salon is right next to Proabition (Mission Inn area) so parking can be a bit challenging. Don't let this dissuade you. I recommend parking in the structure by Coffee Bean. Itll cost you about $1.50, which is a lot better than the $15-30 that some of the parking lots around are scamming you for. Overall, I would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a barber that does good hair and is all around, a nice guy.

I left my last barber ever since he started charging $50 for a regular ass fade. Some of these guys are out of their mind. I'm glad I found Genesis. Always a good cut and consistent. He also cuts my 2 year olds hair, which isn't easy. A crying toddler can be annoying and genesis is the most patient dude. Another reason I prefer this place over others?... It's a single chair shop. Your haircuts go by so much faster when barbers aren't talking with each other. Bonus (to me) his shop is located inside an old historic building. Love to admire the architecture and stain work every time.

The money you paid is definitely worth the price here. I would say it's absolutely five stars! Regarding how to make an appointment, this is what I did: I called the phone number (951) 686-2994 as displayed on this page (for some reason the website http://www.escape-n-style.com/ no longer works), and a woman picked up the phone (sorry I did not remember her name). She took notes of my name and number, saying she's gonna check the availabilities of hair designers (or hairdressers?). Then, Dora called me and scheduled an appointment. You CAN ALSO simply WALK IN to schedule an appointment.

I got my haircut by Ana, and she did an amazing job! She is very friendly, professional, and…read moreattentive to detail. I love that she took her time to ensure my hair turned out exactly how I wanted it. I've been to many salons throughout the years, and none of them have ever cut my hair the way I wanted it till now. I especially liked that she was able to preserve my length, but also got rid of all the dead parts + gave life to my hair. I have very thick, abundant, long hair that can be hard to work with, so I am very picky with who I trust to cut my hair. However, Ana knows exactly how to work with my type of hair, and there was never a moment of doubt while she was cutting it as she would consult with me before making any major cuts. I also asked for whispy bangs, and she let me know ahead of time that I would have to train them for them to sit the way they do in the picture due to my middle part. She is transparent, caring, and I am in love with her work! I highly recommend getting your haircut by her! I never leave reviews, but her work deserves recognition. I will definitely be returning :)
