Went step by step w me since it was her 1st time with me that alone I took noticed & result I did more then a touch up bc I got confident on skills . Haircut turned out very satisfying. Thank you Jenny ! read more

Jenny is the master of fades. She takes her time to cut your hair, and asks you detailed questions before starting your cut. Appointments can be made via calling or texting. She gets busy so book early! Great homey personality as well. Been there twice already. I might have found my new regular barber! read more

Jenny Is the BEST. Period. Love her she's always so sweet and always fades me up perfectly. She is legit one of the best.

Jenny is amazing! She's always been so careful with her equipments and even more focused on keeping her station safe, clean and sanitary due to COVID-19. She has been cutting my hair for years now and each time I am more and more impressed. Because of Jenny, I feel like getting a haircut anywhere else is a disservice to both my hair and her skill. She is the kindest soul and has great technique for this profession. Additionally, I'm one who likes to change barbers frequently, but she's grounded me to only seeing her and making appointments with only her! She's super understand and super accommodating. What more can you ask for, really? read more

Just moved back to the SGV area recently and I'm so glad I found Jenny! I've gone to many different barbers over the years and I only trust Jenny with my haircuts from now on! She's super meticulous and really takes her time to perfect the haircut and she's just an awesome person to be around. I highly recommend going to Jenny and you won't ever need to find another barber! read more

My boyfriend went in for a haircut about a week ago. Best local price we could find. The hairdresser listened to everything my boyfriend requested and he walked out happy. We will be coming back when he needs another trim! read more

If you have been looking to get a haircut, stop your search now. Ask for Jenny! The reviews say it's all. Jenny is the best when it comes to mens haircuts. Been searching for a few weeks after moving in the area and am super glad I found her. She's my go to now! read more

I wanted to like this place because of the good reviews and nice customer service over the phone when I made my appt but I ended up with a bad haircut... first off she cut my hair way shorter then I originally asked. I let it slide, remained calm and thought as long as it comes out nice I can deal with it growing back. The hair cut took twice as long as my previous barber so while she cutting it I'm assuming at least she being thorough... wrong. After the haircut is done she hands me a mirror and I just say fine cus I'm already bummed about how short she went. I go home to find hair unevenly cut around my ears and bad line above my sideburns and by my temples. Def not worth $35. Also had to wait 30min past my appt time. read more

I am taking the time to write my review as I feel this needs to be said to the Owner of "San Marino Barber Shop". You have made a HUGE mistake ! ! ! ! ! To read the Reviews of this place is Completely Inaccurate ! ! ! ! ! About 21 years ago I had a bad experience at a salon, to the point where I RAZOR shaved my head everyday. After this much time I finally worked the nerve to let my hair grow back and had been looking for a new place to get it cut. I was given a recommendation in person to this place by Dr. Marc who lived down the street in San Marino. Upon arriving, we walked in I thought I was lost as I would Never Expect a business to look or smell like this, especially in San Marino. I stepped back out (took a few breaths of air) and saw that barber sign was out front. I was looking at the address just to make sure we were in the right place. There were several barbers working who had others waiting, so I took the hairstylist who made the first cut after all these years. Upon sitting I began to notice many unpleasant things about this place. First it was a stench smell that my nose picked up immediately! I looked up to the ceiling, WHAT CEILING? Some of the lights flickered and ceiling tiles were missing. The only ceiling tiles that were visible had huge water stains which indicated there was a roofing problem with major leaks. I got distracted with my stylist as she was talking to me and she finished up my cut. She was okay but was no longer there on my second visit a month later. I was disappointed but was told by Dr. Marc to give Alex in the first seat a try. I was like for what? This was a different experience with Alex. The communication was genuine and I felt like after having my hair cut with him, he was the one I would return to see for the future. Over time of my visits I would see that Alex always had people waiting on him. The customers would wait for hours as the other barbers would just sit and wait for the next one. I stuck it out, with my visits, as it became difficult to breathe sometimes as they also have a Terrible plumbing issue. Rainy days can be good as there will always be an open seat because the clients are avoiding all the buckets around the shop catching the droplets. If its a heavy down pour, bring your rubber boots, you can assure they will have back up from the toilet. That's when you need a breathing mask. I felt bad for ANYONE who had to work in that kind of condition. Everyone knows what happens with water leaks, you get mold over time! On July 29th I saw Alex on my Birthday and he did an awesome job just before my trip to Florida. Not realizing a week or so later that Alex was no longer there. You can forget asking the guy who looks Laos or Vietnamese as he was angry with his reply when asking for Alex. I was always annoyed when he was there. His conversations with customers was completely out of line and poor choice of words in general during my visits. Turns out he owns that barbershop that he is running into the ground. (keep in mind people are listening even though they are not in direct contact with you) So after checking the GPS Alex had on him a year ago, Dr Marc found him down the street. Oak Knoll Barbershop is where you can find him. When you write a review be honest of what your experience was. This site was created to allow people and business to get reviews of service and to Warn others of what to expect. San Marino Barbershop will close one day and only then and there the owner will realize, He Made a Huge Mistake ! ! ! ! ! read more

Second visit to Jenny for my boyfriend's haircut, she did a great job again! Very patient and listens to what you want.

To keep it short and sweet. Jenny is a great barber. I was with her when she was at Chau's shop. Now she cuts at the salon shop two doors down. She is professional, efficient and highly skilled. I get my hair faded from a 0 and every time I'm happy with her work! read more

Jenny is the best barber. The pandemic has made getting a haircut a challenge! But I am always satisfied, every time. My only regret is, why didn't I choose her earlier. I've been a patron of San Marino Barber Shop for years. Her attention to detail is second to none. I have Asian hair and if it is not cut right, it will stand straight up. This was not a problem for Jenny. If you are in need of a fade-style haircut, I highly recommend her expertise! You will not be disappointed. read more

When she opened again after the pandemic, she always followed safety protocols and put any concerns I had at ease. read more

They are shorthanded. I had to wait for a couple of hours until I finally got in. Haircut was decent. read more

Today I got my haircut here for the first time. Let me say that this will for sure not be my last time coming here. Jenny knows exactly what she is doing and is very detailed in her work. You can tell that she cares about her patients hair. Also, sometimes I've gotten awkward vibes when I get haircuts, but Jenny really made me feel welcomed and comfortable today. Jenny is also a conversationalist which is nice. :) read more

New location- same great attention to detail from Jenny! Always love the work she does.

Jenny is great. No problems so far. Been going to get for over two years now. Chau is also good too. I'd recommend either of them

Highly recommend my man Chau over here. He has been cutting my hair for the past 3 years, no one does a better job. I don't let anyone else touch my head. He takes his time. Don't ask him how much he weighs he will think you're sizing him up and take you out! read more

I took my son in here before school started. He had all one length hair down past his shoulders. I did a lot of research and ended up going here. There was one person in the chair when we got there and two people came in after us. Jenny cut his hair. She did a FABULOUS job!!! We told her what we wanted and she went to work doing just that. The cut was beautiful and my son very much liked his new cut! I would highly recommend Jenny. It was a great experience for such a drastic change. Thank you Jenny for a very comfortable visit and such a flawless cut. read more

Jenny did a GREAT JOB on my combover cut!! I am really happy with the results!! I did not expect my haircut to be perfect because my head shape and stubborn hair makes it more difficult.... She took her time and did not rush when taking care of my hair which I appreciate it!! Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a SOLID combover to reach out to Jenny!! read more

Great Service! Alex and Chau are the best. Old Fashion barber shop with experience.

**New Administration** Chau is the man! I've been cutting my hair with him since I moved to Pasadena two years ago. He now owns this place and is completely passionate about customer service at an unbeatable price. The place has plenty of free street parking and the barbershop is very cozy. He is no longer my barber but a friend. read more

Tried calling the number, it's disconnected. After reading the owner's response to another one-star review ("We don't hire no thief," when the poster made no reference to theft), I'm extremely unimpressed. read more

I have been going to San Marino Barber shop for some years now. Jenny has made it a great experience everything I get a haircut. That is my go to girl during this pandemic. Ask for Jenny. read more

Get my haircuts every other week from Jenny, at this barber shop. She is very good, patient and I'm always pleased with my haircuts. It's hard to find a descent barber shop that cuts hair good and reasonable in Pasadena. Closest one to Pasadena is San Marino Barber Shop. Highly recommend Jenny and this barber shop, just check when she is there, since she's not there everyday of the week. read more

This is an old school type barber shop, you can't go wrong with the cuts and the price. The barbers to see is Steve and Janie/Jenny not sure of her name but she is only female barber. Steve brings that barber shop talk about sports etc. aside from a really haircut. read more

Great neighborhood barber shop. I just got a haircut from Jenny. Very nice personality, and does a great job with my hair. She has been my go to for the past several months and I am always very happy with the cut and the way it grows out. She is there on Thursdays and Saturdays. read more

Ask for Alex or Chau they're the best , great service, great great results every time!

I've been going to Jenny for years now. She has always been extremely attentive to detail during each haircut, and I've been completely satisfied with my haircut every time. I even took my 5 year old son to Jenny, and she did an awesome job making him feel comfortable and cutting his hair. I would highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and all-around excellent hair stylist. read more

Chau, formerly of the old YMCA barbershop in Pasadena, runs the show here now. He is one cool cat and he knows what he's doing when it comes to cutting hair. Don't expect a quick cut. He's takes his time to make sure every single follicle gets its justice. The end result is worth it. Prices are reasonable. The only downside can be the wait during the weekdays, as it's a one man shop Monday thru Friday. Open until 6pm everyday, closed Sundays. read more

I have come here enough times now to do a basic review. If you can get Chau, this place is 5 stars. The other 2 barbers I have had are good too though. I have no complaints. Whereas Chau seems more like an intuitive barber (i.e. he seems to just figure out what you want through his infinite psychic powers), the other 2 barbers I have had need a lot more detail. Here is a link that might help you describe exactly what you want when getting a cut from someone that is not Chau: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2010/08/25/get-the-perfect-haircut-how-to-talk-to-your-barber/ This is a chill spot in a mellow part of San Marino with some local coffee and other stuff right around. One recommendation is that if you value your car, park away from the street parking that is nose in diagonal style. Every time I have parked there, some weirdo will park over the line to where you can barely get in your car. I would assume this is the generally elderly clientele that patronizes the other businesses but a couple of the interpretive parking styles that I have come back to find next to my car have bordered on parody that left me irate. I would use the parallel street parking, or off the main street parking. read more

Kenny is the best and you can't beat the prices! He is as old school as it gets and has been around for 60 years or so. If you aren't going there you are missing out. read more

I just got a hair cut from them. I got mine from lady instead of Chau. To be honest, I was little depressed because I visited this place because I saw the good reviews about him on yelp. I guess he had an appointment with regular or something although it is walk in only. Well, despite my low expectation, she did really put lots of effort on my hair. She did every single detail I asked for. read more
