I have been barbering with Joe for 13 years. Very professional and pleasant. Great hair cut!

Friendly, great cut. Always feel welcome there. I've been going there for years. Dave

Elizabeth Layton is AMAZING! We met her at Keed's Restaurant. She was kind enough to give us her business card. Unfortunately, we misplaced the card and called The Patio and wanted to leave a message to book an appointment with Elizabeth but there was no recording to leave a message. Be sure to call her directly at 1-442-274-6277. I have never, ever seen a better, more handsome cut on my husband's head in all the years we've been married!!! He looks FABULOUS! Thank you, dear Elizabeth! You are a GENIUS!! You are gorgeous too! read more

Patio Barber Shop - My husband - after his cut at his moms 90th birthday party! - Barbers Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Great service and Jose is really good. Got a great haircut in preparation for my interview. Definitely recommend the location, they open early, and have no issues taking walk-ins. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Elizabeth Layton when she approached me with her business card. She informed me that she is rebuilding her clientele here in the desert. I love a go-getter so between that and the great conversation I made an appointment. I could not have been more pleased. I got exactly what I asked for and more. The steamed towel at the end combined with the neck massage was amazing. Not to mention a great haircut! Contact her directly 442-274-6277 read more

Outstanding haircut! Joe was Outstanding. Definitely returning for future haircuts Mitchell read more

My husband found a diamond in the rough looking for a great haircut. By sheer luck, he went for a walk-in and stumbled onto Elizabeth Layton at the Patio. I have to agree with him that it was the best haircut he has ever had! We were trying to rebook him for another appointment and called the shop and were never able to leave a message which we found very strange and frustrating. We finally found her card and he is so happy because she just has such a delightful personality as well as great artistic technique. He really enjoyed the extra touch of the neck and scalp massage and she finished with a hot steamed towel. Ahhh so nice. I was jealous. If you also find yourself trying to book with her, I recommend calling her number directly. +1 (442) 274-6277 read more

The Patio Barbershop has been around for a long time. Joe is a staple in the business and his shop is one of the best I have been to in the Valley. Elizabeth is one of his newer employees, but she has years of experience and service and it shows. She can cut my hair into a masterpiece. And that is not easy. I highly recommend. The Shop itself is a fun place to just hang out and tell stories. A though-back of sorts. Joe has met just about everyone in the Valley. Just ask him and you will enjoy the story. Elisabeth creates an easy, relaxing way in how she approaches the haircut. You feel like a king on his throne while you are there. Please take the time to stop by, say hi, enjoy a cut and the conversation. read more

Friendly, old school barber shop. Walk ins welcome. Joe keeps the jokes coming, and has fun with the regulars and newbies. There also seem to be plenty of barbers to get you cleaned up quickly. Best of all I was happy with the haircut. read more

Simple, only school barbershop that does a very good haircut. Belen was friendly and did a great job. Will definitely go back. read more

Jack B. Got a great haircut, and Elizabeth was awesome. Will definitely be back. When ur in business that long u must be doing something right. read more

Friendly, interesting, and a great haircut! Joe has a fascinating personal history, and is a multi-talented man. read more

Friendly staff, good price, and always available for a walk in. Jessenia is my main person but have had a cut from everyone there and never received a bad one. read more

A little bit of history. I got my first haircut when I was a kid at Patio Barbershop. Without giving away my age it was decades ago. Over the years I was a regular customer , my Dad as well. I hadn't seen Joe in quite some time. Today my wife and I went in to say Hi and Joe cut my hair. It was like a family reunion. Besides being given a great haircut we got to catch up talk about life, sports and music to name a few topics not to mention laugh. Thank you Joe. read more

I've been going to Patio for years. Last month, my regular barber was on vacation so I was lucky enough to have Elizabeth cut my hair. She is the new, pretty lady at the Patio. Friendly, professional and very experienced. She wins my "Best Ever" award. read more

I'm a snowbird, and an actor. I've been looking for a decent barber in the desert for a while with no luck... Then I discovered Elizabeth Layton at the Patio Barber Shop. She gave me exactly what I wanted, since I was in the middle of a TV series and my haircut had to match. When I got back to the set two weeks later, the hair and makeup people remarked on what a good haircut I had. AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND: TV hair people ALWAYS think you got a terrible haircut -- always! So kudos to Elizabeth! I'll be back every winter! read more

Ismael gave me a great haircut and Joe is full of local wisdom. I highly recommend the Patio.

Joe was SO awesome! From the minute I walked in he was so personable and gave me a great cut. He's a pro at what he does. He listened to how I wanted my hair & made the time fly by. He has so many cool stories of the Valley. Definitely will be back! read more

Best in town! Yesenia gave me a hot towel shave today and it was the best shave I've had in months. Thanks

Okay, so my regular jaunt gets shut down for a few days due to the fire in the same complex. The timing was a drag because my kids were having a birthday party on the weekend. I needed to look FRESH. I entrusted Yelp for the answer and this shop was the place. I called and advised I'd be coming in and when I arrived I went straight to a chair. My barber was Juan who looked a couple of chin hairs past 21 or 22 years old. For a minute I was aprehensive but all I get is a 11/2 to 00 fade so it would grow back quick. I sat down and Juan went to work. He was meticulous and free from hurry. He took his time and I was thinking I'd be sucking on a lollipop ans exclaiming "Who loves you baby" at the end of my appointment. To my delight the cut was exactly what I asked for and Juan performed the task without too much banter. He kept his head down and worked. The young man was good and he has many years in front of him. I believe their proximity to El Paseo effect the prices they charge which is the only negative. I will use them as a backup when my other shop is not available. read more

Last minute visit to Palm Desert left me scrambling for a barber visit. As a walk-in I wasn't expecting much, but the barbers there managed to get me in -- no problem. This place is a truly old-school barber shop, and also CASH ONLY. Juan was a great barber. Haircut, beard trim & edging, and a shave. All turned out excellent. His razor skills were top-notch; not a single cut and a full hot towel service. read more

I just moved to the desert (Indian Wells) and was looking for the perfect Barber. Well let me tell you. I found him. Joe Hernandez is the best and his team at Patio Barbershop treat their clients like no other. I love a classic cut with a straight razor shave. I will be back and have already recommended them to friends and colleagues. You can't go wrong with Patio Barbershop in Palm Desert. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you get lucky to get Joe as your Barber/Stylist you will be taken back with his life history and accomplishments. read more

They did a great job of cutting my son's hair, which was what my appointment was for. They were quick and efficient, which is what you need when you have a little guy in the chair. Bonus was they got my daughter to get a trim, spur of the moment, she has not let anyone with scissors near her hair for over 2 years. read more

I had such an amazing experience at this barbershop. Recently switched from a different barbershop here in the valley and it's been great. My first cut, the owner Joe, gave me a great 0 Fade and cut my hair on top like no other barber has. Really knew my hair and hair patterns without even telling him. Very experienced barber with lots of talent. He also is EXTREMELY friendly and he had told me the story of how the shop came about and how he became owner. Funny story! Amazing cut and customer experience has made me a new dedicated customer! I will be going back their time and time again for their great prices and cuts! read more

Always an enjoyable visit. Joe The Master Barber is very knowledgable & kind. The atmosphere is respectful and it is very easy to be found in conversation. Haircuts are made into a pleasing experience. Currently waiting for my hair to grow back so I can return! Please note* If you do not know what you'd like, try asking one of the barbers - they will help guide you toward your choice of style. read more

Everything cited in my 2010 review still stands. Joe gives the best haircuts I've ever had in my life, ever. Now that I'm sporting a beard, I let Joe trim that too. The beard trim is a wonderful thing, done with precision and an eye for detail, and finished off with a lovely neck shave. If I lived in the desert cities, I'd be here for a haircut and beard trim about every other week. It really is that good. I also love the fantastic history of this shop, how it has been in this location for five generations of Joe's family, and how Joe continues to train barbers who will carry on the tradition of quality and excellence. Still the best in the west--and anywhere else. read more

I'm a woman who has been going to a barber for my hair cuts for years, and always get waaaay more compliments on barber's cuts than on those mega-buck cuts I've experienced! Had my first appointment with Joe Hernandez last week and what a fabulous find! My home base is NYC, so it was a great relief for me to find such a great barber in my 'new' neighborhood. Patio Barber Shop has been around since the 40's, has a stellar reputation for cutting hair on some of the most famous heads in the world. Really, there should be a book about this place, for if they put up pictures of all the celebrated people who have passed through their doors, they'd have to build another shop. Thanks, Joe. I feel like a new celebrated woman! read more

Needed an haircut and found this place within walking distance of where I was staying. $18 seems a little high for a haircut, but it was a very good haircut . Very friendly staff and you can tell by the customers it is a local favorite . read more

Old school Barber cost with a new school Flair. It's almost a family tradition to take my boys here!!

OK place to get an old school haircut. Nothing fancy inside--4 barbers in a shop that has been there for 60+ years. Place is clean, but barber tools are antiques. Beard trim--would not go back. It's nothing more than I can do by myself. Think I got taken for ~$15 for a few swipes of the clippers and 15 minutes of my time. They only take cash. The register is as old as the place. read more

Good vibes, great cuts. Everyone does an amazing job and if you ever need a cut and are around the area I recommend the Patio Barber Shop.

These are nice folks, but the haircuts from Joe are awful. I went twice (my fault the second time!!). The first time he talked so much and didn't cut much hair so had to go back to get it fixed. Second time - same thing and I went back, but they wanted to charge me for the fix! Went to another stylist who said it was the worst haircut she'd ever seen; nothing even! And had to fix it over two haircuts. Looks great now. read more

I visited Patio Barber Shop after being disappointed with other shops in the Coachella Valley since moving to La Quinta. I actually found them on Yelp and read the reviews. Juan was my barber and did a great job. It's an old fashioned shop which is great but they also do the latest cuts as well, judging by the younger clients. A little pricey for a barber shop but I left a $5 tip and it was still worth it considering how pleased I was with the haircut compared to other places I've tried. read more

Want an authentic barber shop with over 40 years of tradition? Well you've come to the right place. This was my first time here and I had the privilege to get my haircut by the owner himself. No exaggeration, the best haircut I have gotten. Very pleased by the whole experience. I have found my new barber shop. I recommend this place. read more

See all

We love Patio barbershop!!! Everyone there is amazing. My 2 year old son and husband won't go anywhere else. Try one of the shaves it looks like a professional facial. I get jealous just watching. But seriously for a 2 year old to sit still for 15 min is a miracle and he does it for them every time. read more

I'm not one to really leave reviews but I was impressed and wanted to give these guys a shout out. I'm from out of town and looked on here for a good barber.

Patio Barber Shop - My husband decided on a hard part - Barbers Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Great place for a shave and haircut. Never disappointed! Cute old fashion barber shop with great barbers.

My main man Juan! I went to 3 different shops in the valley, before I found J. He takes the proper amount of time to cut and style ones hair. No bullsh!t, the price is on point and no forced convo. Since going to Patio, I have not gone anywhere else (1.5yr+). I suggest anyone that may have migrated from LA, to check this spot out! Real deal! read more

Terrible service, 25 to get a hair style that's fairly easy. I feel like I left there so unhappy that I took to the internet to express my opinion. It's a ritzy area but still 25??? For a crappy hair cut and bad service. read more
