Just had the best haircut I've ever had. George is the man!!! First timer today and I will be returning. Super nice guy with skills. Walk in only. First come, first served. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. You will not be let down. read more

Stopped in for a beard trim. first time in this shop. Always seemed to have someone in the chair but it was wide open on this day. A simple beard trim and cleanup. about 15mins. I gave the guy a $20 and he put the bill in the drawer, closed it and stood there looking at me. I didn't know what to think except I had just been ripped off. Victor, not George the owner. I won't ever go back to this place for a haircut. $20 is a ripoff for a beard trim. I got a haircut and beard trim for $25 at Kings Cut. Should have gone back there rather than try a new shop. read more

My hair, being thick, fine and straight, without any trace of curl, is hard to cut properly without leaving chops and steps. Whereas, curly hair covers up mistakes. I have little use for barbers who get huffy about how great they are if I try to inform them aforehand and do just that: leave steps. I once met a profesional barber, whom, I learned, holds workshops around the country to train barbers in proper techniques. After explaining the problems barbers typically run into with my hair, I asked what he charges. "Ninety-six dollars ($96), he replied, no matter how long it takes, but I'll give you a forty percent discount." Still much more than I typically pay, I went and gave him a try. After spending around two hours, he admitted that my hair posed a real challenge, inviting me to return and give him another try. I returned one more time and no more. Maybe I'm oldschool, but his prices were too high for a regular haircut. George, the owner of VIP, is a young and friendly humble man, yet skilled beyond his years. He welcomes any pre-cut information customers care to provide, knowing it will help provide better results, meaning a pleased, returning customer. George cut my hair without leaving any trace of chops or steps. In fact, I've been back 3-4 times now, and will continue to do so. He has my vote! R.M. PS: As a matter of full disclosure, I used to live closer to Santee, where I was a satisfied customer of the barber Wally (Walid), owner of "J's Great Cuts," but have now moved much closer the George's VIP Barbershop, who is equally as good. read more

The barber shop to go! I've been to different barber shop, salons in San Diego and VIP's Barber Victor is the guy to go if your looking for a flawless fade. read more

Clean Facility w/ Five Chairs. Very through when cutting my hair! Not in a rush. Happy with the result. ( a small negative was the flashing lights around the windows) will be back and will inform others of the quality. Thank you read more

I've been coming here for over a year now, and I never had a problem. I came here again for the first in over 6 months and it made me appreciate the place a little better. I moved out from my dads 6 months ago and the haircuts I've been well have been. That's what the barber said, he fixed whatever mess the last barber left and explained to me what they did wrong. The haircut the barber took me by surprise at first. It's not what I really wanted but I have too say it's different but in a good way. I recommend coming here. read more

I went to VIP Barber Shop in El Cajon on Main today for the first time. George cut my hair and I can not say enough about the great job he did. He is the real deal. I am so glad I went to this place. I am going here from now on. read more

I have definitely found a new place for my boys to get a sharp looking haircut. Found it totally by chance after asking Siri for nearby barber shops. I called and spoke to George, the owner. They advertise a closing time of 7:00pm on Saturdays, but George said they would be here (it was around 6:30pm when I called). Since we are only about 4 miles away, I went right down. I was very impressed with the quality of my oldest son's haircut. George did a great job with minimal information from me, was quick, but moved like me he knew what he was doing, which he did. My son got a really good cut. We were going to have George cut my younger son's hair, but Victor became available so we decided to test his skills as well. No less impressed with Victor. He also did a really good job. Now I know we have two reliable barbers in one location. The price was very reasonable at $12 for each boy. Adult prices are around $15 here so an all around good place for the whole family. George said they have a girl who does a good job on women's hair so, who knows, maybe my wife and daughter will come here as well. I highly recommend VIP Barber Shop. read more

About three years ago I went in here on a last minute "need a hair cut quick" whim. VIP barbershop has gained my loyalty ever since. George is THE MAN, pure passion goes into his hair cuts. Clean atmosphere, relaxing, and always feel like a million bucks after a haircut. Do your self a favor, and give George a shot to gain your loyalty as he earned mine!!!! read more

Awesome place for anyone looking for a great haircut, color or style please consider Glory, she is the best!!! She has been doing hair for over 20 years and her skills show in the final result. I am very particular about my hair and I have never been disappointed. My Mom is also going to be doing her hair with Glory after she saw how great my hair has been since I started going to Glory. She is not just a hair stylist but genuinely cares about her clients. Highly recommend!!! read more

George is great! Super friendly and easy to talk to. He is very detail oriented. I love his hot shaves. They also carry a full line of Johhny B styling gels. Over all / great experience and well worth my drive from rancho San diego read more

Ok, so I have been going to the same girl to cut my hair for 15 years and she is awesome; but I needed a haircut and her shop is 200 miles north. I checked Yelp and took a chance with George. He was quick, good and I am satisfied with my cut. I would go back to George at VIP again if I am down in San Diego and need a cut! read more

Been going there since they opened a couple years ago. I consistently walk out of there looking FANTASTIC!!! If you are looking for a $5 hair cut that takes 10 minutes then, go somewhere else. The barbers at VIP pay extreme attention to detail and will make you look your best; 30-45 minutes minimum for a great hair cut is typical but well worth it. I think a men's cut there is $15 or so. I always leave a $20. My young boys look dapper after their cuts as well. They are great with my boys. George was not there this last time but he had another gentleman there who was fantastically skilled. Well run, very clean shop. The kind of business we need to keep around. read more

I like this place, George is really good and he do excellent job, also they have the best customer services.

Beautiful Shop! Newest barbershop in El Cajon! George is really nice and very personable and great conversationalist on all topics! Oh yeah, Great Haircut too! I will be supporting this decent man and his business for now on! Thanks George! read more

George is a very talented hair stylist. He always gives me a haircut that is just perfect. I highly recommend him!

Used to come here quite frequently to get my haircut. However, the past few times I've tried to go they are always closed (even during normal business hours). It is now Friday which means they open at 9am. 1013am and still closed. Find a different place that actually goes off their own posted schedule. read more

First time getting a hair cut and trim my beard and all I can say very good job.....I would recommend you give it a shot, oh and one more thing this place is very clean and his very professional with his work... read more

I've been in three times now and this is hands down the best barber in El Cajon. Normally barbers are a trade off and either it's a good haircut that takes forever or a bad haircut that's quick. I get a great haircut, never have to wait, and it's quick! Where else does a barber use a straight razor and a comb to make sure you don't have any stray hairs that stick up? This level of quality and he is still the same price as every other shop in the area. Shops always clean and most importantly in an El Cajon summer nice and cool. Check this place out you won't regret it. read more
