Great place, nice people, and amazing haircuts. Places now make you pay for an awful haircut, but here I've never had trouble

I'm an old guy that just walks in for a haircut. This is my second time here and my first experience was fabulous - walk in - something simple and I'm out in twenty minutes - bam! This second time I walked and the gent was busy with another guest and said, sure, give me a few minutes! Well that few minutes quickly became thirty and at that point I said got to go! My recommendation to this gent would be to tell me it will be a half hour so come back in thirty. Instead I didn't get a haircut and can't fully recommend the shop but will try again to see if my experience was just a one off? read more

Great experience, brought back memories 70 years ago barber shop. Walk in, wait for one of the three barbers. You can make an appointment if you don't have time to wait a few minutes. read more

When you make an appointment you know it will be on time. Lynn and her barbers do a great job. Quality work at a fair price

Everyone here has such a charismatic, hospitable vibe and I've been here for two (2) visits - today, in fact! Had my hair cut twice by Bennie (Benny) and we have such an awesome time exchanging stories and getting to know each other and about the Montrose Barber Shop. Got a haircut once the week before a wedding in Houston (before Safe at Home Orders were issued) and I was so happy with how it turned out! This place is very clean, organized, unique, and abides by COVID-19 social distancing guidelines and has been open for the past month! It shows how happy they are to be back in business!! ‍ read more

The lady ( owner ) is extremely rude and doesn't know how to talk to customers. I know covid has changed people in general but she is ridiculous. Uneducated and no talent for customer service ! I'm a mother of two and work full time in healthcare taking care of people all my life. No matter the circumstances and stresses I've always been polite to the people I taken care off. Running into traffic and still trying to attend to my appointment was better then not showing up with my son. She could have nicely spoken to me when canceling my appointment when I was 15 minutes late. read more

Prices for a haircut increased from $30 to $35. Plus, it's cash only. Probably time to look for a new barber.

The barber lady asked me if you need a specific cut no one is here please come back another day. I can just cut with 0 that's it. I was like thank you and walked out! read more

Just want to give a shoutout to my rad uncle for hooking it up with a fresh cut here at montrose barber. Great energy and vibe here. Very clean. I'll be back read more

I have gone to Montrose Barber Shop a few times now, and they have done a great job with my hair. I'm happy with the cut, and their level of detail or care is nice to see. You leave with the haircut you want, and can adjust what you are looking for along the way if needed. The price is reasonable, and the location is good. If you are looking for a new barber, you might want to check out this barber shop. read more

This place is a family affair. Lynn is usually the one who cuts my hair, but apparently her dad works here, too. I never see him. The last two time I came it was just her cutting hair. Did you know she totally remodeled the place on her own? It looks nice. There's like wood paneling and high ceilings with a lot of natural light. I definitely wouldn't have been able to remodel as well as she did. I mean, I probably would've just gone to IKEA and got a lot of crap because that's where I buy most of my furniture. I didn't realize until recently that people with good taste don't shop at IKEA; only college kids and other poor people. Who knew? But you know what? Fuck what other people think. If you don't like my IKEA furniture, you can go to hell. Did you know that in Sweden everyone has IKEA furniture? Yeah, they do. I know because I read about it in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." After the main character hacks some computers and gets like millions of dollars (or whatever currency equivalent they use in Sweden), she heads straight to IKEA to furnish her badass house. And do you know what else they have in Sweden? Universal healthcare and free college. So fuck yeah--SWEDEN!!! When you're not in Sweden and closer to Montrose, get your hair cut at Montrose Barber Shop. But be sure you are specific about what you want. When Lynn asked me what I wanted, I just said, "Make it shorter? I dunno." Those are the words a barber HATES to hear because it's so subjective. How much shorter? She's not a mind reader. Plus, I came in there after not having cut my hair for like six months, so she had no idea how short to make it. She ended up making it TOO short, but only because I told her to use the wrong guard (a 3 guard). She even asked me if I was sure, and I said yes. When I went home, my wife was super mad at me for cutting it so short. I told her it was my own fault, and that the barber was just doing what I told her to do (which is the truth). But Lynn was nice so I went back to her. The second time I took an old picture of how I wanted to look, and she made me look just like that picture. So there's some life advice for you: bring a picture with you when you go to a new barber shop and don't know how to describe the picture you want. A picture is worth a thousand words. read more

I watched Larry give my brother a much needed haircut today. This place has such a cool vibe to it, and Larry was great, so was the haircut. read more

Excellent and friendly neighborhood barber shop. Benny has cut my hair several times. Reliable and good quality hair cut. Highly recommend. Plenty of parking outside. read more

Second time here. Still friendly and good conversation about the past, present and future of the Montrose Shopping Park. My haircut from Lynn s the best..clean and neat. Prices are still a little high..suggest a senior discount. But will go back again. read more

Great service. Owner is very polite and puts in an effort to talk with you but also knows when not to. Always gave me a good haircut/clean shave . Excellent value for money, recommend. read more

These folks are THE BEST!! The feel here is very warm and welcoming. Lynn, and Manuella were super sweet and made me feel like a part of the family. Jack and Benny were great to chat with and the whole group makes one feel at ease. And the haircut? Flawless. Manuella's touch is super gentle but don't let that fool you. Her cuts are clean and crisp and nothing more could be asked. And the prices are cheap AF!! This is the spot. Places like this are what makes America great!! read more

Giving a review based off only two experiences so take what you will from that. First haircut was good and the elderly gentleman cutting my hair was professional. Second time was with a different gentleman (Jack) and it happened to be on Election Day. I'd been in the chair for less than 3 min and he is talking about how we are "effed" if Biden wins because, "that means there will be two women on the rag in line for the presidency if he dies". His tone was ominous so I had to ask if he was joking... and he straight faced DOUBLED DOWN. Now I'm very open minded politically, have close friends on both sides of the aisle, and love off-color personalities but that kind of unsolicited and ignorant bigotry/hate won't win you my dollars. Walked out before the scissors came out. Giving two stars because one bad apple doesn't ruin the bunch but with plenty of other quality options around I won't be going back. read more

Worst haircut I have ever received, i have been to this place a few times as a kid , jack knows my father and brother kirk. I walked in and jack didn't even greet me or acknowledge me for that matter. Benny cut my hair and made me feel bad for even being there because he was "about to go home" he rushed me into a chair and ignored my request. I specifically asked to leave the curls on the top and he immediately shaved them off in a bowl cut pattern with the clippers. My lady was sitting there laughing at how my hair looked but i didnt realize the extent of how horrible it was until i got home. Long hair mixed with short hair , both sides were un even , this was hands down the worst and MOST EXPENSIVE hair cut i ever received. I can get a better haircut for half the price at any other shop. I am never coming back , jack. read more

Lynn is great! Does a great job and is super friendly. Just moved to the area and already found a reliable place to get my hair cut

Worst haircut and beard trim ever , they don't even use a blade and call it baRber shop!!

Great place, quite accommodating and friendly. My preferences were respected from minute one which is always a good thing. I would give this five stars except I'm super picky when it comes to my hair cut and it wasn't quite to my standards. But I think anyone could find this place exactly what they need in a haircut. read more

I just left Montrose Barber Shop after another great hair cut. I first stumbled into Montrose Barber Shop about three years ago when I moved into the neighborhood. Like a lot of other businesses in Montrose, it is a very unique. It is a classic old fashioned barber shop like you went to as a kid. And for that reason alone you should visit. Long and narrow, classic barber chairs lined up in a row. Lots of mirrors. These places are great and are disappearing fast. There's a magazine rack, of course, and a big screen TV. But there is something else going on now, something new, and exciting, and her name is Lynn. Lynn has been cutting my hair for about two years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. The current owner of the barbershop is Jack. Jack has been a barber here since 1958! Lynn is Jack's granddaughter. She is bringing a modern sensibility to this classic old place. She is a stylist and a barber, and she is very aware of new, current trends in style as well as completely immersed in traditional barber cuts. She's also on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! Lynn was telling me today of her plans to redesign the shop soon, and bring it into present time. It's sad to see another cool old-school place be updated, but I also think it is great that Lynn believes so much in the area, and her clients, that she is willing to make the huge commitment to modernize and transform into a barber shop for the 21st century. Now I can't wait to see what she does. I think everyone who works at the shop has cut my hair at one time or another, but since Lynn first cut my hair, I only sit in her chair. We pass the time chatting about all kinds of things; baseball, restaurants, food and travel, and even my home town, Chicago. I always leave there feeling relaxed and looking good. My wife always compliments my haircuts, so I know Lynn does a great job. If you are anywhere in the area; Glendale, Eagle Rock, La Crescenta, La Canada, Pasadena, where ever, make your way to Montrose Barber shop for a unique experience and a great haircut. Like another reviewer said, it is cash only, for now. But there are three banks nearby. And when you're done, have breakfast or lunch on Honolulu Ave. Or a shot and a beer! read more

Great spot for a haircut. Lynn was awesome as was her grandpa. I'm so happy to have found the place. Love the old school yet modern feel to the place. I'll be coming here regularly. Also, free beer? Yes please... read more

Great place. Nice cut. Good service. Beautiful shop. Convenient location for me and a good price too. Highly recommended. read more

Worst haircut ever... Still totally effed up looking! I have to go pay someone that isn't 90 years old and actually can see what they are doing to fix what just happened to my head. Seriously don't know how after saying 3 times that it isn't even, too long here, too long there, or a bulge on the side of my head that apparently he still couldn't see what he had done. And after all that he had the fucking nerve to say it was my fault and that I didn't tell him correctly what to do!!!!! Unbelievable! $20 fucking dollars for the shittiest haircut of my life?!?! Never ever ever ever go here unless u absolutely don't care about how you look and want to pay more for a 2'nd haircut to fix what they do. read more

Awesome family business. I will definitely be back. They also have a nice way of showing support for both their adult patrons and a local business called "Brew Yard". I think the place was recently remodeled. Beautiful shop. Good stuff all around, thanks Lynn. read more

I don't give "fives" so a four is about tops for me. This is a 'mans' barbershop... the kind you might have seen in Eastwood's hit movie "Gran Torino." People know one another but "if" you are new, hey no big deal. Everyone is friendly and soon you will be an 'old' bud and it is all the same. Jack R. owns and operates the establishment and I believe he cut Moses' hair. ;^) There are two other barbers present 'most' of the time and this is a very "patriotic" barbershop. The ambiance is 'manly' with a good number of auto and firearm magazines to read... picture window onto Oceanview gives a good view of everything up and down and discussions are often intense and sometimes funny. Haircuts are $20 (about average) and all those I've seen (and experienced) have been great. Short or long, and crewcuts or flattops are exceptional, you will be satisfied. Jack always asks how you 'want it' and inquires how it is looking. He won't butcher you ever and really pays attention to your wishes. My favorite and only shop in the area. Good place... read more

I went here today and had a great experience. I got a great haircut and had good conversation with Jack, Benny and Lynn. This is my new barbershop and I'll be back every month. read more

I have been coming here for the past 6 months and words cant express how awesome the service, barbers and cuts are! I highly recommend this barber shop. I spent 5-6 years hopping around Glendale and Burbank looking for a place that can cut my hair and I know I have found the one. I have had cuts with Lynn and Benny and I would recommend both! read more

Great place to go for a haircut, Jack will catch you up on all the latest and greatest of what's going on in Montrose!

I just started going to Montrose Barber Shop, and what a surprise. Jack gave me a haircut that was really really the best I have had in my entire life, and I'm 83 years old. Thank you Jack, you are the BEST! read more

Same great haircuts but now is fully remodeled. Huge flat screen, nice decor, friendly staff, and even beer and wine while you get your hair cut! Free beer people! Lynn also can give ya a razor shave while your at it. Still cash only, but an old time gem in Montrose got much needed face lift while serving up the same great cuts. Bravo Lynn and all involved as the place looks great! read more

A friendly bunch. Got my haircut today from Bennie, and I'll be back. They did a good job with the remodel too.

Friendly, competent (most important!) barbers. Beautiful space. Comfortable place with good service.

Terrible horrible worst haircut in years. I think "Benny" was deaf AND blind. Never again will I go to this nasty place, where good ol boys make lots of "good ol boys" comments. I got lots of "it'll grow out" comments afterwards!!! read more

You have to love an old school barber shop where political correctness gets left outside! You are free to share your views with whoever is there. It won't matter, because everyone has already solved all the world's problems long before you walked in the door. The old school charm is complemented by the young vibe that Lynn brings to the shop. I won't let anyone else cut my hair. She's brings the talent of a stylist into the man-cave. Definitely a gem of a throwback business, and it's the best cut I've ever had. read more

They absolutely destroyed my sideburns and against my better judgement I told the older man cutting my hair that I trusted his opinion when it came to the length on top and he cut a good 2 inches more than I asked. Would not ever go to again, totally unprofessional and not for the customer. read more

Yep, no need to say more, but I need to in order to post. I've been all over the city and state. Jack, Benny, Vito and Lynn at Montrose Barbershop are better than most and as good as the best. read more
