I've been going to Jess and have been getting consistently great haircuts with my difficult, unruly hair. It's convenient to book appointments online. The best barber shop I've found in the area so far. read more

I stopped in for a haircut and coffee, but the experience quickly took a turn. I don't know the barber's name, but he drives a black Honda Civic and was anything but a gentleman. Here's what happened: The coffee shop and barber shop share a small parking area with spots directly in front of each business and a common area in between. I carefully parked in the common area so I wouldn't block either storefront, intentionally leaving the closer spots open for anyone who might need them for mobility reasons. (I also noticed the barber shop had one reserved spot marked "Barbershop Parking Only," which I did not use.) As soon as I got out of my car, a barber walked over from the porch without so much as a hello. In a rude tone, he snapped, "This is barber shop parking only," then turned and walked away--straight to his own car parked directly in front of the coffee shop . I stood there stunned for a second, then just laughed. When he headed back inside the barbershop, I decided I'd only be getting a coffee. There was no way I could comfortably sit for a haircut by him after that interaction. I truly hope whatever he's dealing with improves soon, and I'll keep him in my prayers. read more

Terrible customer service. The lady in there kicked me out cause I ask her how long she had been cutting as a simple conversation starter. She then told me, "You can leave and find another barber if you feel uncomfortable". Mind you she said this with a terrible attitude as well... Surprised as I was. I politely walked away. Who treats there customers this way fusho won't be back and won't recommend. Period. read more

Love this barbershop go to Jess!! She's super detailed and my vacation braids look so cute. Clean and tight and the last super long. Love her vibe too she's so sweet and funny. Would recommend 1000 percent. read more

I spent the afternoon at The Hair Doctor in Riverside and had such a great experience. I booked with Rose, who did an amazing job adding highlights to my hair. She was professional, made me feel completely comfortable, and honestly gave one of the best hair washes I've ever had--I was almost falling asleep in the chair! The whole team there is wonderful. Jess has braided my grandson's and granddaughter's hair before, and she's incredibly patient--even with all the squirming! The braids always come out perfect and look amazing. John John was so attentive as well. Even while busy, he still checked in on me to see if I needed a drink or anything else. He didn't hesitate to help out Rose and Jess--sweeping, assisting, and just being an all-around team player. The teamwork at The Hair Doctor really stands out. I'll definitely be back--if not for a haircut and color, then absolutely for another heavenly hair wash. Highly recommend The Hair Doctor to anyone looking for great service and a skilled, welcoming team! read more

Love my barber Rosie you can book thru her app and never have to wait in line The work she does is amazing. I absolutely love the compliments and the way my hair and especially my beard looks.

Great service wonderful atmosphere. I walked in with my 4boys and they left them looking fresh!! I was anxious to go to a barbershop because at another place they made me feel awkward by not talking to me and things like that but Eli and Steve both talked to me and made me feel like one of them. Eli cut my boys hairs and they all loved how it turned out he also did my 2year olds hair who hate being touched by other people and eli was great my son sat through the entire cut he got a dope comb over fade. Highly recommend Eli and Steve!!! read more

After moving to UCR I went to 3 different barbershops, until I met Eli... haven't gone to another barber since. Make sure you come check this barber shop out! Amazing haircuts and a great vibe. read more

This experience was kinda life changing I seriously can't thank Rosie enough. Firstly, I was struggling to find a colorist last minute and this place was the only one that let me reserve and schedule online for something next day. I got a text early the next morning for details about what I wanted. I had let my hair grow out for a while at this point so I was low confidence and also had a bad experience previously getting my hair colored elsewhere. Rosie was very thorough and patient and made sure the solution was weak enough that it wouldn't burn my scalp. The color came out amazing and she styled it to perfection. Legit haven't seen my hair look this good and I haven't been this genuinely photogenic in a long time. Rosie was very personable and so were the staff. I didn't have to wait since I made an appointment, and the place itself had a great vibe and the playlist was poppin! Hidden gem in riverside I highly recommend! read more

Omg the worst barber shop I have ever been to The young man maybe he just started being as a barber and he took for ever just to trim a couple of hairs read more

This is my second review for this place and still 5 stars for sure. Got mine and my sons hair done by Jessica. She did a great job on the both of us. I asked for a mid fade to help hide the tattoos on my head so I'd look somewhat presentable for court lol and I got exactly what I asked for. Thank you Jessica. Every time I've been to the hair doctors I've got whoever was available and it's never been a disappointment so they must have some of the best barbers working there. (Pictures seen in review are from my sons first haircut and from first review) read more

I've had my roommate cut my hair for the past two to three years. I thought it was time to finally visit a barber and get a decent haircut. I haven't talked to a legit barber in a while so I was low-key nervous on how to communicate with one. Appointments were super easy to make on YELP. I got a response 20 minutes after submitting. I expected some wait time upon arrival but I was seated immediately. I went in there to chop off my dead super treated dyed bleached hair. I just did not wanna deal with it anymore. I asked my barber (David) if he had any ideas for what to do with my hair and he showed me references on his instagram which was super helpful. My barber DAVID was quick, professional, and did a very good job. Got my haircut exactly how I wanted it and he gave me a great specialty pattern cut. If it is your first time here I can personally recommend DAVID and I will definitely be back there soon for another haircut! Atmosphere was pretty chill. Love the aesthetics of the place. Nothing too pretentious, just friendly and chill. read more

The Hair Doctors - Changed my life. Will definitely be going back. Total charge was around $25. - Barbers Near Me - Riverside, California

Made an appt. for my daughter a few days ago and was told it was $20. Then today my daughter gets a text from Steven an hour before our appt. telling us that the price has changed to $30. Was told "Thanksgiving price". How ridiculous. I hope all Steven's clients cancel like we just did. We will never go to The Hair Doctors. How unprofessional and scandalous to gouge your customers on Thanksgiving. May your turkey be dry and shriveled!! read more

Solid place to get your cut! I've gotten a a hair cut from several of their barbers and have yet to be disappointed. Israel is the barber that typically gives me my cut, so go in and ask for him. Don't forget to make your appointment because they get busy. read more

NEVER COMING BACK Discovered this place a month ago, got my beard trimmed went well, that's why u left 2 instead of 1 but I went yesterday to get my beard and hair cut, no one in front of me in line, and waited over an hour to get seated they were just talking and messing around taking extremely long to cut their clients hair, everyone looked irritated by them, needless to say I left after an hour and a half and went to a different barber. Very disappointed. It doesn't take that long to cut men's hair or trim a beard. Update, gave it another try, asked for a trim on the beard and hair, THEY CUT OFF MY WHOLE BEARD IT WAS FULL AND HAD VOLUME, asked for a little trim on the sides and to be cleaned up a little bit. 5 months of growing it out and it's all gone I trusted the barber do do what I asked. A beard it a mans pride, like come on dude. read more

I LOVE coming here it's always a great environment with super friendly staff. Andrew gives some of the cleanest cuts I've ever seen! Always extremely kind and I have yet to receive I bad cut from him 10/10! read more

Had an appointment went on three hours of sleep to respect Brianna's time and was there waiting for twenty minutes. Owner replied that she was sent to have a covid test but this shop has a history of no shows it seems and no explanations and I hope if true she gets well but it would have been professional to contact customers and or get somebody else to cover her clients . read more

EDIT: So Israel the barber did reach out to us to apologize for the service, which is very much appreciated. The cut itself was fine, and we have no complaints with the result itself, we would just appreciate if next time more effort was made to respect our time and the fact we were in a hurry (on our way to NOLA). read more

Awesome people! As soon as you walk in the door they make you feel like family. They don't make you feel dumb for not having an appointment, and they have enough TVs to accommodate their patrons and the people waiting. I went for a beard trim and a line up and I was greeted by Isreal. He asked me what I was looking for and I told him that I did not want a haircut today. He did not give me any guff about it, but he did ask if I wanted to re-line up my previous haircut, which I agreed to do. He worked very quickly, but very precise in making sure the lineup was straight on both sides. You did exactly what I asked and everything came out great. I am definitely going to go back for a full haircut and beard trim next time with Isreal. I also had the pleasure of speaking with Steve, the barber right next to us, and he was awesome as well. It feels like a family and everybody gets along and cracks jokes and has a good time, not only with other barbers, but with the patrons as well. I have found my new barber spot. read more

I been coming here for about 3 months I normally go with Jessica she dose a great job but on Fridays I had an appointment with her she never showed up though maybe she had an emergency or something but later that day I seen on her business page she ended up showing up and I never got an explanation or even an apology still haven't heard from her this will be the last time I take my business there very disappointed read more

Been getting my hair cut by JonJon since he started here and he's always been dependable. On time and always gives me a good cut. I've never been cut by the other barbers, but anytime walk-ins show up, it seems like they're always quick to get to them. Overall a cool, dependable spot. read more

Came into the The Hair Doctors due to its convenience to UC Riverside. I was able to see David who squeezed me into his busy schedule on a Saturday. ( Tip: they are getting even busier so appointments are pretty much mandatory now! ) As a student, the prices here are quite affordable and you get an extremely good haircut. All the barbers here seem to really care about their work and pay close attention to how they cut hair. Environment: very relaxed, well kept shop. Everything is very clean and despite it being a barber shop, you don't see tons of hair everywhere. Definitely will be coming back while I study at UC Riverside! read more

So disappointed in this service. I've read the reviews and they're amazing and to see the results we got are disappointing. I'm giving it a one star for who ever allowed my nephew to walk out like this. Not saying they didn't know how to cut hair but coming from someone who works in the industry I can even see how bad the cut is. The demarcations were left and not even blended. What a let down, read more

If I could give a 6 star I would. I Have been getting my haircut by jonjon since he started and he never disappoints. Always on time with appointments , down to earth, and best of all gets down on the cuts. If anyone needs a reliable , hard working barber look no further than jonjon. Best barbershop in the IE. read more

I popped in super late 15 minutes before closing. It was Coachella weekend and I was in dire need of solid mid drop bald fade. Let me just say, Israel could have denied my walk-in, but instead, he passed me a smile and said, "yeah, I got you!" Mad respect to Israel for coming in clutch for Chella. I highly recommend Israel if you want a high-quality haircut. All the barbers are super cool and they're always playing amazing music with sports playing on the television. I've already recommended several of my friends to come here. Keep doing what y'all do best! read more

My appointment was at 1130 with JJ and he still made me wait it's 1200 and I'm still waiting right now. He said give him 15 more minutes!!!!! The audacity!!!! I made an appointment!!!! They are always short staff and don't have any barbers!! SAVE YOUR TIME. Don't come here!!! it's always short staff. And they don't come through with the appointments!! Which is not and appointment if you have to wait an hour to get your hair cut! This will be my last time to come here. IM DONE!! What a waste of time!! What a shame cause I always give the barber a good tip! And they know it!! I always doubled the amount asked!! read more

Walk in My first time here, and I came in at around 11:30 am on a Wednesday and there was no wait time for a walk in. A huge plus for no wait as the other barber I usually go to has a huge wait for walk-ins. There was only one customer at that time. I showed Eric a picture of what I wanted and he started cutting. Atmosphere The place looked like it was under construction as one wall was down and ladders were laid around. Yeah, that's understandable but what bothered me was how I saw two empty cans of Bud Light just sitting around, like come on guys seriously? A side note is that most of the conversations were in Spanish. The atmosphere is very laid back as the barber cutting the guy's hair next to me was eating pizza and cutting at the same time... Another barber had downtime and he was just playing the arcade game setup. There are a multiple TV's but they are all next to each other which is annoying when the barber rotates your chair you can't watch TV anymore. Cut My barber, Eric, knew what he was doing and gave me a clean number zero fade with a lineup and part which I liked. The cut did not use a straight razor if anyone is interested. He even used some gel product to style for me which is a plus, the other place I go to charges extra for some hair product. For the price (which I will get to) its an excellent cut. Price I never really understood barber shop pricing, they never post the prices and different barbers charge different prices even if you ask for the same cut. But it must be a barber thing to charge what they think their own cut costs. As a UCR student, I read from another review from Alex M, that on Weds they give student discounts for UCR students, but Eric said that there's no discount for my cut which was confusing. Eric said, "I usually charge 20, but I'll give it to you for 18" which is nice, but why do you have to say the first part? Just be straight and give me a price with no BS. The price is solid for this cut Conclusion If you don't really care much about the casual atmosphere of a barbershop and want an excellent cut come to this place when it's not busy and you will be out the door with a fresh cut pretty quick. The price is fair and I recommend Eric. The reason I only gave 4 stars was that of the atmosphere and how some of it was unprofessional. read more

I was looking for a barber for my son for a while who can do good haircut since my sons hair was so long up to his chin. I was reading reviews and decided to try them out. No hustle making an appointment thru this app, Julian ( the owner ) responded quickly and we were set for the next day appointment. He recommended Israel because I asked him someone who has good amount of experiences. He chose a right barber for my son. Israel asked him how he wanted and made sure my son likes every part of the hair. The result was awesome , he loved it. Finally found a great barber. Thanks Israel, see you next time ! PS... He offers free sample of hair gel and my son is trying out now , so far he loves it. read more

Quality of service is nonexistent. Quality of barbers is severely lacking. Customer Service is exceptionally terrifying. They waste your time by canceling the day of and also an hour before your appointment. Unprofessional. read more

Updated* David is an excellent barber. He is patient, detail-oriented when he's working on your hair, and he makes great suggestions. The protocol is to make your appointments at least a day in advance, but I made mine about an hour before one time and he still gave me a haircut. He works out the itty bitty details from asking you if you need a razor fade and cuts it to the precise length. Although he's not a stylist, I asked for a new hair style recommendation and it came out better than I had expected. Great work, cool barber, and comfortable atmosphere. Thank you David Andrew - If you want someone who's detail oriented and very specific with how you want your hair cut then Andrew is also your guy. Before he even begins his work, he asks you what style, how far you want your lineup, and even suggests other ways to style your hair. I showed him a photo of a particular style I wanted my hair and he replicated it even better by working on fine details that I didn't consider would make a significant difference (e.g. leaving more hair on certain areas and using a particular number for the fade). He's a master at his craft I highly recommend him also! read more
