Zay came through during the holidays! I need a cut after work and zay was available late. First time I got my cut with him and I gotta say my boy left me lookin fresh & clean. Definitely recommend . read more

So, this review is primarily for Zay. I made this appointment one morning because I felt the spontaneous need for a haircut with a little bit of spice. Checkout the pic because he did just that! I absolutely loved it! And mind you, I'm in Rancho Cucamonga. The drive is worth it, boys! Oh, and the vibe of the whole barbershop is immaculate! Music was on point throughout. Definitely had some good laughs. read more

I've been coming here for a couple years and I'm upset to say that I'm never coming back for the following reasons: I brought a friend to try this place out, gave him my word it's a good shop. My friend specifically said he only wanted a haircut and nothing done to his beard. At the end of the hair cut the barber (I think they called him little Alex/Arthur something like that) , said "let me trim up a few stragglers in your mustache and line up your beard" my friend told him no but the barber insisted. So my friend let him and afterwards this barber tried up charging him for beard service which is like $20-30 more (ridiculous price even if you wanted it). My friend told him that he never wanted it and he was being pushy to let him mess with his beard. So he ended up only paying for the haircut and never came back. Pulling shady things like sneaking that is a sure way to push away clients. I feel bad for other people he bullied into more services. I usually got my hair cut in the mornings and barbers would be already a few beers in. I'm all for day drinking but not while you're on the clock and cutting hair, plus it's 9am. Once in a while one of them would buy a bottle of tequila from the liquor shop on the corner and they'd all do shots in front of everyone. Like what are you celebrating at 9am on a Wednesday with shots? Go to an AA meeting. It's disgusting how they treat kids. I've seen little dudes sitting in booster seats while their parents are sitting on the couches up front unknowing that the barbers are cussing up a storm and talking about chicks they're hooking up with. And they're GRAPHIC about positions, what the girls body looked like and MUCH more. I don't care if you wanna play gossip at work but don't be an idiot and talk like that in front of little ones. Their prices go up every couple months for... nothing. Nothing changes. Quality was (and still is) worse. They don't seem to care about their reputation. Most of them bring in their lame little tiktok equipment and think because they have 30 followers they can charge $40+ for a haircut. The shop's instagram is filled with cringey videos to get people in. If they focused on quality instead of putting out dog-water TikTok's they could bounce back. Some barbers bring their "service pitbulls" into the shop. But real service dogs don't jump on clients in the middle of haircuts and get into dog fights with other barbers "service dogs". Then they're to chickensh$t to break up the dog fights. If you can't be responsible to train them, don't bring them. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs but there's a time and place for them. Now the owner. Lord almighty. He charges the most because he's "running shop" for just the same quality his employees do. When he's not busy promoting his GF's onlyfans he's just sitting in a chair talking badly about other employees and which ones he has to move around to avoid letting them go. It was a cool shop a few years ago and the people were great. But when you stop caring about your shop, it shows. I've found another shop that's half the price and twice the quality. It's much farther but definitely worth it. read more

Old school vibes with excellent barbers! Been going to Issac for a while now and couldn't be happier. The entire crew is highly skilled and will make you feel right at home. Quick, clean, and comfy. Be sure to make a reservation. read more

I foolishy thought I was going to grow dreds, so I had went like 1.5 years without a hair cut or a beard trim. I looked like a crazy homeless dude. I came to my senses and made an appointment with Jake. I know this is his job, but I can't thank him enough, I actually look like a human again. I had to be a top 5 worst heads of hair he's seen lol. I didn't even know what to do with my beard so I left it up to him and he killed it. I won't be waiting almost 2 years to get a cut again, and I'll definitely be sticking with Jake as my barber now. Although looking around the shop today I know everyone's legit there. He did an incredible job and I'm beyond grateful, I'd almost forgot how good you feel after a good cut. read more

Thank you for the GREAT head shave and beard trim today!! This is barbershop is amazing, I was able to make an appointment and get right in without a wait. I travel a lot for work and have to look for a good barber when it's time for a trim, I'll definitely come back when I'm in town. read more

You won't be disappointed if you go here and I'll bet this will become your Go-To Spot! Always very well managed, welcoming, professional and easy to schedule appointments. Shout out to Chris! read more

The atmosphere in here is worth the visit on its own. The staff are so very kind and make you feel welcomed immediately. I'm usually an anxious person, but I felt relaxed so quickly around Jake and Chris. I got my hair cut by Chris, and he did an amazing job. I'm someone who never really knows what they want for their hair, but Chris was willing to work with me and gave his own suggestions for my hair type. I was wanting to do something different and he helped me figure out what would look good. I don't think I've ever had a barber be as helpful! He was even willing to give me extra time for a shave even though I didn't come in with that appointment. I will definitely be back! read more

Shipwreck Barbershop is an absolute gem. I have been going to the same franchise hair salon for nearly 10 years, but today, after getting my first haircut at Shipwreck Barbershop, I understand what I was missing all those years. Details, quality, passionate work, and customer service Jackie was my hair stylist, and she is amazing. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to all my clients, too. Highly recommended. read more

Shipwreck Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Riverside, California

Was looking for a good barbershop here in Riverside and saw the very high rating here at Shipwreck. Made an appointment with "Isaac" early in the morning and once I got there I still had to wait about 25-35 minutes. Oh well, whatever. Waited my turn and got seated. The shop had about 4 other barbers including a female barber. I mention the female barber because as soon as she left, the rest of the "team" started to talk down on her!? Just the whole shop being toxic and downright disrespectful. They all simmered down and then an older man comes in with a case full of blades and knife's and I suppose the shop knew him since they all stopped cutting hair and went to go take a look at what the man had to offer. Mmmm alright I guess I'll just wait for my barber Isaac to come back and cut hair when he feels like it. SMH. Asked for a Low Drop Fade but he was busy on Instagram when I was telling him and then he shows me the "funny videos" Shipwreck does at the shop. Okay buddy I don't care just give me my cut that I ASKED FOR. Every few minutes he would stop cutting to look down on his phone, doing who knows what. I'm thinking to myself this dude must be on d###s because wtf? He finally finished the cut and hands me the mirror and the cut was NOT what I asked for. He gave me a TAPER!?? At this point I just wanted out. Paid the dude and STILL gave him a tip, even though I wish I didn't!! Looking at the reviews on Yelp AND Google, most of the negative reviews are because of the "Barber" "ISAAC". Why does he still work here? He is single-handedly DAMAGING the Shipwreck name. Was deceived by the almost perfect 5 Star shop. Dude must be very good friends with the owner to still be working there, sad. 0 STARS. read more

Had an excellent experience taking my 18 month old son to get his first hair cut! I was a bit nervous at first , but I was reassured by Zay. He was so kind and patient with me and my son! It was such a positive experience! Zay did an amazing job on my son's hair and I would definitely recommend him for the littles:) I'll be going back to him (Zay) again! read more

Horrible experience just left this place Isaac cut my sons hair, mind you I have taken my son to this place and other barber shops since he was 1 year old he's used to hair cuts he does fine sometime even falls asleep because he's that comfortable and relaxed but today wow!!! He started crying from his rough he was cutting his hair yes he's a kid and of course he moves what do you expect from a kid but the way Isaac was treating my son it's like why bother seeing kids here you do not have compassion over kids my poor son started crying it broke my heart never again will I ever come here or recommend this place to anyone, yes I still fucken paid his ass but definitely did not deserve it read more

Shipwreck Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Riverside, California

Looking for a barbershop away from home can be a challenge; as it takes time to find the "right" person along with a shop that compliments the vibes and experience you seek out. I'm grateful to have stumbled upon Shipwreck Barbershop! Booking a reservation online was a breeze and the entire process, from walking in with an outgrown head of hair to walking out feeling rejuvenated with a fresh cut was incredible! Siah was the barber I had for the day. He asked what I wanted, was courteous, and delivered exactly what I wanted. It's safe to say that I've found my barbershop away from home! I will absolutely be coming back here the next time I am in need of a haircut and am in town. read more

Shipwreck Barbershop - Feeling like 1 million bucks for my New Year's party - Barbers Near Me - Riverside, California

Let me start off by saying that I'm not an avid visitor of barber shops. I'm more so a fan of convenience in my hectic lifestyle and usually land at my local Supercuts/Fantastic Sams. On a whim I decided to try Shipwreck. I first tried to book (same day) at the corona location but there was no availability. So I tried the Riverside location (La Sierra) and chose the first slot available in the AM. Isaac was the barber assigned to me, he was prompt, courteous, and asked lots of questions before starting all while giving suggestions. I will be returning, thanks! read more

Today I went into the La Sierra shop in desperate need for a transformation for my son. They were so kind, professional, and fun. I cannot express the hard work Zay put into this haircut (it was a total doozy when we walked in) they treated him so kind and my boy came out looking and feeling amazing . This krew def takes time and pride in their work ! Much appreciated . Thank you a Million Zay !!! read more

Went here because the reviews. Unfortunately left with a cut to my ear which will likely be a scar and a terrible haircut that will take me a few weeks to grow back out and fix. I've been getting haircuts almost weekly for 20+ years now as a military person. Never have I once been cut. Well over 1000+ haircuts first time someone cut me with clippers, and on the top of my ear not even on my head. I told the barber Exactly how I wanted my hair cut but he did his "own" style and butchered my hair. Didn't cut it how I told him. I rarely leave bad reviews but with haircuts it's something that can take weeks to grow back and get your style back. I probably got the worst barber there, the other ones looked very good. I even told him afterwards that's not how I told him how I wanted my hair cut. With the cut to my ear and bad haircut he didnt offer any kind of compensation either. read more

Booked a week a head for a kids haircut for my 5 year old son on 12/31. Asked for a 0 and 1 fade with a combover and a hard line. My son has been to many barbershops and loves getting his haircut so he sits still and understand. The hard line is a little sloppy but that's ok but the back of his head was not even blended or I mean "faded" it looked like a bowl haircut. Paid the $25 left a $10 tip now Dad fixing a $35 haircut ‍ read more

I told my son he needs to go to a real barber and stop going to places like Great clips. He came in here this afternoon for a haircut and beard trim. He looks like a new man! He didn't get the name of the guy who did his hair, but this place is a keeper. He looks great! Thank you!! read more

I moved to Riverside a year ago and needed a new barber, I found Shipwreck Barbershop off La Sierra on yelp and liked what I saw, when I came in there I was immediately greeted and treated like family. I can honestly say this Barbershop is the best Barbershop in Riverside, all the Barbers are on point with their cuts, I personally recommend Jorge, Jay, or Jake you won't be disappointed. Hit em up!!! read more

I took my son in today for his haircut. We had an appointment and they didn't know who was going to take him. I sat in the waiting area while my son was getting his haircut. It took almost an hour. After I paid and left, my son complained that the guy who cuts his hair didn't speak English and need his coworker to translate. When we went outside and look at his haircut, he has razor burn all over the back and side of his head,it was so awful. I feel so bad that I took my son here, he has prom in less than 2 weeks. His hair was so short, his sides and back was completely shaved. They should fade the sides and back, not shave him completely. I think this guys is new and doesn't know how to cut hair. They charged $40 for men's cut but my son looks like a nerd. We pay less somewhere else but does a way better job. We didn't have time to go to his normal salon. It's our first time here today, and will probably be our last. Terrible work. Very very upset I would give them no stars if I can read more

I setup an appointment and come in and the guy that's suppose to cut my hair just took a walk in. What's the point of having appointments if you're not gonna do them. read more

I started going to shipwreck about a year ago and originally got my haircut done by Brad. Brad left and highly recommended that Ryan start cutting my hair. Every single time he's cut my hair it's literally perfect. All the staff there are very friendly and welcoming. Ryan and I talk music every time, he's a solid guy and a total professional. Barbers like him embrace the tradition of the trade. Check them out if you're looking for a new shop, they're awesome. read more

Just have to say, Jake, and his team are a fantastic group of barbers. I went to see Jake today and he provided me with a great haircut! Jake always has a positive attitude and is a great person. He always greets his customers and treats everyone with respect! Congratulations to this young man! I wish him much success! What a refreshing time after long time under quarantine! God Bless! read more

I called to get my two year old sons hair cut for the first time today. Siah took him in and it was the best experience, honestly. He was so gentle and calm with my son. He recommended the best type of hair cut for me sons hair type- and I would 10/10 recommend taking your kids here instead of a mall kids place. Give your kids the best- they deserve it! read more

George is one of the best barbers at this location. He takes his time with your hair cut and the conversations are always funny!

Just went in for the first time. I was looking for a traditional barbershop and definitely found it. Zay gave the best haircut I've had in a while and I'll be going back. The shop has a great vibe and I found a new spot to keep coming back to read more

I made an appointment with Chris for my grandson. We were early but he took us right away. The shop is very nice & clean the decor is great. This was my grandson first real hair cut. He's 5 year old and Chris was the best , he talked to him as he cut his hair even put on Spider-Man to entertain him.. I will definitely be going back and recommending him and this Barber Shop. Also the service was very reasonable price. read more

I've been going to Zay Lopez for a couple years... and let me say he has never disappointed. Always on point such a great person and barber all in general! I recommend Zay if you need any type of cut. All ages make sure you check him out! read more

I've long been clueless about hair, I used to just let it grow for 6-18 months at a time and ask my barber to give me whatever generic cut, when decided to grow a beard and had to eventually go to barber shops for trims to look presentable; I went through a few. Most barbers don't have the acumen that those at shipwreck do, particularly Jake, after my first appointment w/ Jake; I've decided I no longer need to look around for a barber and to actually schedule regular appointments. Furthermore; shipwreck pomade is the only styling product I'll use on my hair other than beardbrand gold-line utility balm (which is less for a firm hold and more so as haircare) read more
