We are new to the Pomona area and my 3 yr old and 11 month old needed a hair cut! We decided to give Ralph's a try! My 3 yr old moved several times and he had to keep cutting he's hair shorter and shorter but he was so patient with my son, he did not give up. He clearly shared that they do not put metal on kids skin just for safety purposes. I really appreciated that! As for my 11 month old boy, he was getting his first hair cut! I sat with him and my son was moving so much, he was able to cut his hair. Bryson was very polite he knew exactly what we were asking for. We even got a certificate to keep in his baby book! read more

First time with Bryson a couple weeks ago, awesome barber and amazing customer service. He catered to schedule by seeing me a little early. And I really appreciate how he asks before cutting (side burns, neckline, etc). Good cut, good price, definitely coming back read more

Save your time and money. Never come to this place if you are looking for a clean haircut and good customer service. Don't get me wrong, I gave this place a few chances. The first and second visit were cool because I didn't have to deal with Bryson. I got a hair cut from a guy who had this rockabilly look. Don't remember the name, as I had only visited this spot twice. The guy knew what he was doing and I received a clean cut which made me want to come back. The third time I stopped by to get my hair cut, I was told rockabilly looking dude was no longer working at this establishment. So I got a hair cut from Bryson who was not entirely rude but was not the friendliest either. Hair cut was mediocre at best. The fourth time I stopped by was early on a Saturday morning. Thought it would be a quick in and out but that was not the case. Bryson went outside and took a smoke break which took about 20 minutes. When he finally came back inside, it still took him another 5 minute before he was ready for me. I was finally asked to sit on the barber's chair and he asked what I wanted done. I told him what I wanted and he then proceeded to ask if I had gel on my hair. I said yes and he seemed very annoyed and said that he couldn't get a clean fade with product on my hair. What kind of barber asked that question and what does it matter? I've never had an issue before, ever. Long story short. This Douchebag smelled like an ashtray and was very rude. I did not feel welcomed the entire time he was cutting my hair. The icing on the cake was when he charged me $25.00 for shitty service and a messed up haircut. I never returned to this place after this experience. I am not sure what was up this dude's ass that day but you should never treat your paying customers like they're an annoyance. I've since found a more talented barber who doesn't treat he's customers like trash and can give a clean fade, product on hair or not. read more

Love this barbershop. Everytime I've gone to court I make sure to stop here beforehand for a lucky cut and I'll tell you what, I've always gone to jail whenever I don't. As for those nights out on the town, my man Bryson makes sure read more

Old timey badass barber shop. None of that pop music, pretty boy, frilly crap you see at these chain spots. Real talk, fair prices, and Bryson is a master of his art. read more

Ralph's Barbershop - Best barber in Pomona right here. Y'all need to recognize. - Barbers Near Me

i stopped coming here and reading the recent reviews, it's more or less the same as before. I used to come here from chino hills when it was father and son. It was laid back. When son took over, like people said, it was constant bitching. He'll be nice and your best friend when you're there or cutting your hair, but soon as you leave, he hated your guts. All he did was talk about you or the previous customers. I don't understand why he even continues to cut. Maybe because he has to, but if he hates it so bad, then do something else that'll be more satisfying. The other thing too, is he opens whenever he wants, which is fine since it's his own shop. But for someone like me that has a schedule, it was hard to get a time. Obviously, if there's more than 2 people waiting, all hell breaks lose as that's too much for him to deal with alone. I was coo w/ the bitching, i keep to myself and that's just how he is. It was the random times and the random closing that I couldnt bear with. all that said, son can cut! He'll give you a good fade. best time is to go early before everyone else gets there. read more

So one day I got fed up waiting for my normal lady of 5 years to cut my hair at a salon.. Yup I said it .. A salon. Before you judge, I have been to barbershops and had not been to one that either chops Eveything off the top in one shot or everyone just stares like they got a problem with you. I was in big need of a hair cut, rolled the dice and yelped it . Ralph's came up with 5 stars. It couldn't be true so I came to give it a try and test my luck. As soon as I walked in Rick greeted me like I have been coming in for ages. Cool dude! I told him A LITTLE off the top and a taper. God dam! The best taper I have had...ever. 3 mos later I'm a regular ! Oh BTW I got my bro coming here too now. He used to drive all the way to DTLA for an Ivy League Cut at twice the price and between us I never had the heart to tell him Rick could do a wayyy better job. I think he knows now :) So if you love your hair as much as I do and you like it cut with style and not chopped and want a great environment, RALPH'S IS YOUR PLACE! read more

Dude, this barber shop is awesome. I am always particular of my barbers. It was a pain in the butt that I moved, haven't had the time to find me back a quality barbershop. Looked this place up on Yelp. ... O...M...G... Wat great people that worked here. It's a family business from talking with the barber I had, Bryson. Also his dad, Rick. Dude, these katz were super cool!! I mean, instant conversation and great one at that. I'm not sure if you're like me, sitting in the barber seat and getting a cut w/ "sn9" conv is crap. Not here!! Bryson and Rick are great. Needless to say, my cut was fantastic as well. Bryson right away got my cut down right, not something easy I can say for myself. Cause I hardly know how to describe wat i want, most the time. But Bryson, he got this shit down. Started and gave me some good suggestions to how I can style n keep up with my hair. Good ppl here. Bottomline, I strongly recommend coming to them if you ever need a good cut, or am looking for a quality, and/ great barbers. Price is great, and honestly I love the old school look and feel of this shop. Can't fake authenticity, thumbs WAY UP!!! read more

Looking for a new barber reminded me of Bryson's skill, the guy has real skill and a great eye. For reasons unsaid, I would not see Bryson, but I have to give him props on his skill, he's second to none. Rick is the salt of the earth, sending out a prayer for you buddy. read more

My father was in town from North Dakota and needed a haircut. I had never been to a barber in the area since I moved here five years ago because I shave my head. So I checked out the reviews on yelp in hopes of finding a good place. Boy, Yelp was right on! This place is awesome! We walked in and Rick was ready to go with a very warm welcome. This place has it all! The guys are incredibly friendly and keep you entertained with funny stories while Sara is incredibly easy on the eyes! I sat and watched her work on a customer while listening to the guys. If a miracle ever happened and I ever needed someone to cut my hair, I'd be sitting in her chair for sure! I'll have to make sure my dad needs a haircut every time he visits. read more

Ralph's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me

This place deserves 5 stars and then some! Bryson and his dad own this shop and they're so friendly you immediately feel at ease. The first time I went here was with a friend who had long mid-shoulder length curly hair and wanted to get it cut in a short Harry Styles from One Direction sort of way. I don't have much experience with barber shops so I felt apprehensive but at the end I was amazed! It looked amazing! I was so impressed. I brought my boyfriend here the next time to get his hair cut and I had my hair trimmed. I have long hair to the middle of my back and was surprised at how much his dad charged me! So much cheaper than going to a generic hair salon! With tip and my boyfriend's hair cut if came out to be $30 for the both of us. At supercuts they wanted to charge me $20 just to trim the ends! My boyfriend and I have been back twice now and I am definitely going to keep coming here to get my hair trimmed. I highly recommend this shop for boys and girls! read more

Ralph's Barbershop - Our second visit to the shop for a trim! Couldn't have been happier ^^ - Barbers Near Me

Bryson has the worst customer service skills, I use to come here when it was him and his father rick, you can tell rick was original no fake or attitude in him but his son is the worst sad to see this establishment probably will shut down because he(Bryson)isn't fit for this profession very sad read more

By far the best Barbershop in the Valley. Bryson does a fantastic job. It's a great place to hang out. Lots of great conversation. I have been going here for years and have never had a bad haircut. Every hair cut has been top notch. I get flat tops, not a lot of barbers do them justice. Bryson nails it every time. read more

Ralph's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me

Walked up to the shop asked the guy that was sitting in front seem to be the barber asked if they were open because the door was closed gave me a look like I was asking a Stupid question while he was outside smoking a cigarette I open the door and seen two customer sitting inside I asked if they were waiting for the guy outside they said yes I turned around and walked back to my car and left very rude barber I believe he was the owner because I've been to the shop before and experience was just as bad read more

I would rather have giving it zero star. The store didn't open at it's appointed time. The sign said it was open but the entrance was gated and so I called than moved on. read more

You have no business being so rude for a BARBER. I don't know how this place has a good rating, probably their family. If you don't know them personally, they will treat you like crap and give you attitude. DO NOT GO THERE. I warned you fam, they're rude people. I should really be leaving negative stars if that was possible. I rarely leave bad reviews unless the place was so horrible. They raised their voice at me when it was only 4 pm and they close at 5 pm... um like then change your hours if you don't want people coming. periodt don't give them any of ur money read more

Yelp says it closes at 3. Showed up at 2PM and they turned me down. They didn't give me an explanation. Rude

Hands down BEST barbershop in all the I.E not ur average barber that just cuts your shit and sends you on your way. They actually take pride in how your hair cut looks. Humble dude , likes to kick the shits while you get your cut. Nice clean fade read more

I am standing in front of this establishment wanting a haircut, there is a sign that says that they have a lunch break from 12-1. Cool, I totally get it. I knock on the door at 1PM and the door was opened by a caucasian man who opens the door with a disgruntled face and an even more disgruntled attitude asking if I can give him a minute and then proceeds to slam the door on me. I stood there kinda surprised and confused as I have never been greeted by any employee in this manner. Still, as I have read the awesome reviews of this place I waited for him to open. He opens the door about 5 minutes later and allows me in, asking if I have been here before and telling me that they do have a break from 12-1. Which I read and understood which is why I knocked on the door at 1PM to ask if theyre open. After waiting for a couple more minutes while he was cleaning up I decided to leave because I was just not feeling it. As a first time customer I expect at least a warm greeting and had he asked me to wait a couple more minutes in a friendly manner I would not be writing this review. I am not expecting too much, I am just asking for some sort of a decency from this man and he had totally ruined my impression of him no matter how awesome his haircuts are. I hope this man or anyone from this place reads this review and realizes that people are paying for your SERVICE which also includes treating your customers with respect. read more

Found this place on YELP after taking my boys to "Fantastic Sams" for ever & they like this place much better. Yeah, it's a lil hole in the wall, but don't be discouraged! They were the nicest people. Ralph (the owner I'm assuming) was working, but Bryson was who cut both my boys hair. He was great with them & did a great job considering my oldest has a hard head of hair to deal with. Lol. I'm happy with their cuts, but most of all the kids are happy too & told me that they liked this place better!! Coming from them, I guess we'll be coming back!! read more

Ralph's Barbershop - Took my boys to get a haircut today! Thank you Bryson!! - Barbers Near Me

What a freakin' awesome place to get a haircut and beard trim. Rick is like a therapist, but with a razor and scissors. Has the feel of a classic barber shop, kinda like Mayberry in Pomona. What a great find. It supports my theory that Pomona is one of the most underrated cities in California. read more

This place is cheap and trying to get money off of things that should be common courtesy for customers. I walked in and was not greeted and this guy Bryson immediately seemed bothered for no apparent reason. He told me that the haircut was $15 dollars but since I have a hat on it will be an additional $3 dollars to cut my hair. Ive been to many barbers before with a hat on with no issues. Dont waste your time here. Cheap and rude. read more

To start, I never ever leave reviews for things on Yelp. I rely heavily on them but for the most part, I never feel inclined to leave my own thoughts for somewhere. That said, Ralph's is an exception. I've had my hair cut twice by Rick, each time I've left with a hair cut that I am overwhelmingly satisfied with. He just does a DAMN good job. I'm a fashion photographer that mainly shoots men, so my standard is insanely high on hair cuts because I've seen some damn good hair in my days. The business has been in his family forever, started originally by Rick's dad and now his son Bryson is being trained to take over the shop. I heard about the place through a friend, who had heard about it through an online forum, where the person was saying they drove an hour just to have his hair cut by Rick. It becomes painfully obvious why they would drive so far after having your hair cut at Ralph's. It pains my heart to hear that Rick was recently diagnosed with cancer. Shops like these are TRULY what have made America the great country it is today. Family owned businesses that treat their customers like they have known them forever. read more

I just moved to pomona and needed to get a haircut, so I turned to yelp and found Ralph's barbershop. Rick took his time with my cut and he genuinely wants to makes his clients look good and feel good. i was very happy with my cut. All i can say is in addition to getting a great cut, Rick made me feel like family. He is a very cool dude and in one visit I feel like we are friends. He has a nice and clean old school shop. I have found my barber! read more

Read all the glowing reviews and decided to give this place a shot. Walked in at 9AM and was greeted happily by Rick. He looks like a biker, with a barber bib on and he was seriously one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He was quick to banter, quick to smile and I got to hear about his life. I've definitely been won over as a re-occurring customer. He did a great job with the cut, and the old school straight razor finish was an awesome touch. Can't go wrong with this place. It's got the personality, that old-timey feel that barber shops are supposed to be about. read more

Like my good friend Jack S. (Reviewed February 2013), I have NEVER once left a review on Yelp. Use it ALL the time, realized how useful the reviews are, and decided to pay it forward. The only place deserving of my first review without a doubt in my mind is Ralph's. I hear about it through and online forum (referenced in Jack's review) and decided it was close and would give it a try. As long as I live in SoCal I will not get my hair cut at another place. Been going here for 6 months and ~ 5 haircuts, have never left without a massive smile upon my face. Always been a great experience, top quality service, great atmosphere that you just don't find nowadays. Highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a top quality cut for $10, no joke. read more

Pros: Decent haircut Reasonable price Great hospitality Cons: Not a place to get a shave Bad goatee and stash line up 3 barbers so wait can get long The Vibe and atmosphere is amazing!!! Great conversationist! From the moment I walked in I felt like I was being greeted by family. The hair cut was ok I didn't have to much to fix (read below). The only reason I am not giving a higher review is because the shave was not good at all. Left a lot behind, didn't line up my goatee and stash right (actually messed up my stash), had to grow it out and start over. Haircut was ok but shave not good. Note about me: I am trying to find a spot that will give me a good haircut and shave. I am picky about my hair cuts because I have been cutting my hair for about 20 years. Since I have cut my hair for so long I expect it to be a certain way; as a result, part of my barbershop reviews is based on how much I need to fix when I get home to make it look right. I just moved to Pomona and it's almost impossible to cut my own hair in my new home. Cutting your own hair requires good mirror positioning. So I am trying the top rated barbershops on Yelp. read more

Wow. I finally found a shop where i feel at home. Go Here, gentlemen. Do this. BYOB too read more

Rick = miracle barber I'm always going to come here. read more

Been coming here for a while, always get a great friendly haircut from either Bryson or Rick! This morning when I came in Rick is put up this barber's pole! read more

See all

Ralph and 'heir to the throne' Rick have one of the greatest old school barbershops I have ever been to. If you are looking for a beauty salon, this is not the place for you. But you if you are looking for a down to earth barber who makes you feel like a friend and not a customer, this is definitely the place for you Ralph takes pride in his work and will make sure you're happy before you leave his shop! read more

So glad I found this barbershop! I've been going here since I moved to Pomona for school in August 2012, and I haven't been to another barbershop since. The place is family owned and they are genuinely the nicest and most talented barbers I've met. I usually get my hair cut by Rick, but if he's not there for some reason, his son does an amazing job as well. I request a certain look and Rick does more than I would have expected, even introducing me to techniques I've never heard of (like a razor cut...ask him about it haha). I've never gotten more complements on my hair than after I started going here. Visit this barbershop for a great cut and great conversations...and not to mention its only $10!!! What?!? Love this place. read more

This place and it's barbers have done so much for a community that feels forgotten over the years. When you walk in, the wait might be intimidating but When it's your turn in the chair, Bryson is always sure to remind you that your cut is the center of attention. Bryson gives the cleanest cuts around hands down. Anyone complaining about him requesting that you have a clean head before coming in is just an entitled, soft as baby S***, little princess. You wouldn't go to the dentist without brushing your teeth would you? Have a little common courtesy for the people providing you a service. You're coming to a barbershop in the heart of Pomona, of course it's going to be a little rough around the edges. The fact of the matter is this shop cares about you, they care about your haircut and they refuse to rush through yours to squeeze in more bodies. If they close the doors a little early or cut off the line at any point, it's only to preserve each persons experience in the chair. read more

Best barbershop in the universe. Can't beat the price or the skills of the good people running this shop. When I lived in Chicago, I used to make it a point to stop by when I came home for Christmas break because I have yet to find a barbershop in the country that is as consistent as Ralph's Barbershop. read more
