    Found this barber through a friend of mine. Apparently he's a legend around the montebello area. Always hard to find.

    Very interesting barber. He tapers with scissors which blew my mind. He will give you good advice if you're willing to listen. I usually get irritated when I get the neckline shaved but I didn't with this man. He used to teach barber school so you'll be in great hands with this man. He can literally do any cut you want and he will nail it or he offers you the chance to come back tomorrow and he'll fix it for free. Check him out, he's right next to the liquor store and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. His name is Joel and apparently he's very famous around here.

    The moment I walked into Vinh Hair Salon, I knew I was going to get a really good haircut. Place…read morewas very clean and professional even though it was in a very small plaza. I really enjoy how they wash your hair before and after the haircut. It really makes the whole experience more enjoyable and refreshing. I don't have to worry about leaving a haircut with a bunch of hair shavings flying around. Steve gave me my haircut and he was very helpful and quick with it. He knew exactly how to work with my stubborn hair. Steve was not just a great barber but had a kind heart. I will definitely be coming back here for my haircuts. 11/10 for Vinh Hair Salon!

    I used to get my haircut here every month and I would still be coming here every month and getting…read moremy usual haircut with Thomas ( great hairstylist, strongly recommend him) if it weren't for the fact that I live so far away now that it's just not a feasible Drive anymore. I used to drive 45 to 60 minutes just to get my haircut here every month because I liked it so much. This place is a primarily mandarin and Cantonese speaking business but i think most of the people here speaking English as well, and most days I went it was pretty Lively with what we're clearly repeat and regular customers coming in, some of them even knowing the other stylist well enough that they were socializing and asking about personal lives, but I also had my nice chill haircuts with Thomas so you can get probably any kind of haircut experience that you want here. I will say that I didn't see any women here so I'm not sure if they actually do women's haircuts but I'm pretty sure based on their website and their clientele they only do men's haircuts. This is in a very Chinese area of LA County so that's to be expected though.

    Ali. That's the review. She needs a 6th star. She exceeds expectations…read more I had the same barber for 20 years before I met Ali. My first barber is like a brother to me, and I couldn't imagine anyone else cutting my hair. When I moved to California, finding that same level of detail and care was almost impossible for the longest, until I discovered Ali at MJ's Barbershop in Alhambra. I walked in, and she was the only one there cutting a client. Hesitant, I waited, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made all year. Ali is exceptional. With over 15 years of experience, she has a vision for detail like no other. It's more than a haircut; it's an experience. From the precision in my beard grooming, the sharpness in the line up, to the relaxing temple massages, every detail is perfect and necessary every time once you've had it. The way this woman gives me my confidence back should be studied. I can't thank her enough. Over the last 6 to 7 months, she's not just become my barber, she's become a true friend of mine. I check in on her whenever I can, and if Ali can't cut my hair, I'll just have to rough it until she can.

    Walked in for the $25 walk in deal and called the day before to confirm. I waited more than an hour…read moreand twenty minutes with my 4 year old. And the barber finishing up didn't tell us he was leaving. He was cussing up a storm while my son was there not even being considerate. So there was one worker. The lady that finally ended up cutting my son's hair took her time on the client before us (about an hour). There was no one ahead of me either. We were done in 20 mins. But I've never waited this long for a hair cut. Like it's a barber shop not a beauty salon. She was nice and all but the wait time and poor communication is not cool...unorganized, long wait times, and understaffed. Skipping this place..
