Fresh cuts every single time
Poetik J.

My stepson comes here all the time for his cuts! Absolute perfection and attention to detail every single time we come. No other place he has been to has been as professional and had as much quality as this place. The atmosphere is a plus. thank you so much for making my stepson feel fresh every single time!

Clean chairs and work areas and bright light to make sure they don't miss one uncut hair

I met Daaz at another barbershop and have followed him over to the classic man barbershop and I do not regret coming to this barbershop, I have had nothing but great experiences, the shop is clean and they even have pressurized air to clean you up right after . you also have a complimentary beer, while watching the most recent games on tv and while you wait for your appointment or even as a walk in you get to play a round of pool ! This place is outright the best spot to get a cut in the valley !! DONT LET YOUR GIRLS FIND OUT YOUR HERE!

So fresh & so clean...

What is there not to like about this spot... It's Covid safe.. (outdoor haircuts are available for the paranoid) The shop is Very well kept, nice lounging chairs to watch sports and fights.. Not to mention great customer service! I book with Luis every time, he's quick with his responses and gets you in as you request. He's friendly and very professional and my picky kids are very pleased with his skills. People are on here complaining about high prices. I agree kids cuts are on the high end, but due to to Covid. I'm not shocked with the prices at this location or at any salon or barber shop in the Valley. You get what you pay for. Thank you guys for providing a safe, friendly and professional family atmosphere.

Right side of hair cut

So this is my first cut I've gotten at The Classic Man, another review was posted earlier of the same cut but this entire experience has been the craziest thing I've ever dealt with. I am the person in those photos. My original picture was to give a reference of how my hair actually looked like before the cut and that's the after. I asked for a mid to high fade on the hair cut and wanted a mullet type style with my fade. I know it's a different type of haircut but when you receive that type of cut where they marked my ear with a razed blade and made my skin extra irritated even after getting my cut 2 days ago. So I would love for you guys to be the judge of this cut and see if it's worth the 60 dollars that I provided. I understand that these type of mistakes happen in this type of industry and I am okay with that, but things took a turn where I now wanted to write this review. I called for the owner/manager (Mike/Michael) of the store in order to review these photos and see if he can provide me some sort of refund for this type of experience that I dealt with, beside the unaligned beard I got and scratching my ear with the razer blade, my main concern was this haircut. I will give him one thing , he was trying to be helpful for providing me haircuts, about 3 free haircuts he claims is a ($170 value). He claimed "that im taking money away from the store with these cuts" so I just asked we can cut ties and just end it with my 60 dollar refund. He then flipped a switch. He called me stating that this was a good cut and that he can fix it , I wasn't comfortable with that and appreciated his offer but I just wanted my money and we end of on a good note . Im a 19 year old , and I mentioned that since he asked. He called me "childish" and stating "that I don't know anything and I'm incompetent " he then went off on a tangent that im not cooperating , he only offered me that one solution and I told him that's fine sir, if you think the cut is fine and that's the only thing you have to offer, thank you for that but I'm just going to write a review and let the people decide. This is where he continued to increase his childishness. First off I hear the coworkers in the back laughing back at the phone call and stating to just give me my 60 dollars and other just laughing ahout the situation. He then followed off that stating "you think I don't have 60 dollars to give you, I'm just giving you more value for you" I then replied if I can just get the money back then. He then continued to say "oh so you're broke now, you can't afford a 60 dollar cut." At this point he just continued to go off on a tangent how im incompetent for my age, that I'm acting tough over the phone, and all I wanted was to get my money back , if not I would just write the review. He continued his aggression over the phone and then finally ended the call saying that "I'm a goofy ass n-word". Keep in mind this dude is disrespecting and trying to press a 19 year old. He then sent that text message after the call that I left below. At this point I didn't know what to do. Of course everyone around me is frustrated and there is no way you can call this a good cut and then just fully disrespect me like that. This dude is really dissing a 19 year old lmao. So yea maybe I just had a bad experience with a barber who was only there for a week, reeking of weed. I DIDNT even have an issue with that, but once you have an owner/manager talking to a client that , that just crossed a line. Even on his captions he says the n-word casually as a Hispanic dude but hey that ain't my business. Here's the evidence to show you that text for proof, for how immature this guy was . The phone call I had with him saying all this derogatory was 100x worse and never in my life, an actual business trying to get clients would respond to upcoming clients like this I will be posting this on Yelp and Google too and whatever other review place I can find because never in my life I thought I would be treated like that.

What an epic place !

Cool place but not worth it. Went in for a haircut and came out with a rushed, unfinished cut. Have to find another barber to fix it now.

Michael, one of the managers is such a welcoming, helpful, and funny guy who turns me from a messy mop-headed dude into a sexy-ass casanova.

Big shout-out to David for his professionalism. A client came in clearly having a bad day and…read morestarted harassing both me and my barber, David. David stayed calm, kept the peace, and handled the situation the right way, especially with children around in the shop. He made me feel welcome and comfortable despite the situation. Because of how he handled everything, I'll definitely remain a loyal customer. Highly recommend this shop!

I gave True Barbershop multiple chances because my first couple of visits were actually decent when…read moreit came to the haircut. What wasn't decent was the "Haircut & Facial" service. The description advertises a haircut followed by a facial that includes a black mask and facial scrub for a full facial cleanse. On my first few visits, I booked and paid for the facial, but it was never actually performed. I was still charged the full price. After I left a review, the shop responded and offered a refund and although I appreciated them responding, I declined the refund because, at the end of the day, I still received a haircut and I'm not the type of person who tries to get free services. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was my worst experience. I honestly don't know whether it had anything to do with my previous review, but this was by far the worst haircut I've received there. My previous haircuts here were much better and As for the "facial," save your money. It is not a facial. The barber simply rubbed a facial scrub on my face and wiped it off with a towel. That was it. There was no black mask. I also specifically asked the barber not to put any product in my hair, yet I still walked out with product in it. It felt like he was trying to make the service seem more involved, but it wasn't what I asked for. One thing I will acknowledge is that after the service, it seemed like the barber wasn't going to charge me. Regardless, I insisted on paying because I'm not looking for free services. I paid the full price and still left my usual $40 tip. I genuinely don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially after giving a business multiple opportunities I simply believe customers deserve to receive the services they're paying for. If you're advertising a haircut and facial that includes a black mask and a full facial cleanse, then that's what customers should receive. If that's no longer the service being offered, the description should be updated to accurately reflect what customers can expect.
