Angel Yepez This place does not have a customer service oriented attitude, the guys/gals make me feel like they are doing me a favor for cutting my hair, if it was free maybe. Unfortunately there are no places to go to,have to settle for this place!.

Julian Daniel Jazzmin got down on this lil low fade. She slicked me back exactly like how I wanted but I don’t know if I can add that to the edit later. She was calm cool collected and straight forward that she wanted to give a lot of attention to detail cause she wanted to throw it down and show wussup with the skills since she was a female with delicate hands. I have trust issues too so I know god was checking my status but look. I didn’t find my little metal head chola like I wants to at the function but she was smooth and very focused. She had light hands and I got caught snoring a couple times. She was respectful with my head hitting the desk. It came out to $30+ after a beard and eyebrow clean up. Not bad. I left a lil tip. The only complaint is she didn’t give me her card like she said because now I gotta wonder what I gotta do to contact her specifically cause pro tip… stick to a barber for minimum 3 haircuts every week and a half to know whether or not you can function. Light hands Soft touch Smooth glide Attention to detail Focused Respectful About the business Note: I need that card cause wussup with another test? You know?

Ricardo R. called to ask who much it cost to get a hairstyle done and the receptionist was nice, but I could hear the stylist making stupid comments and laughing about my call. Then I heard her say she was going to probably be busy. and to just tell me no. So never been here but bad first and last impression.

J Came down for a family event and my brother last minute needed a cut. They didnt have a wait time and we said ok perfect. They where really nice only reason for the 2. They cut him in the front and the back. Wont be taking him back.
2 /5
Andrew Uriarte Overall, i would not go back again. I showed the guy a picture of how I wanted, with the front being longer than the others parts. The first thing the guy does is gets the clippers and goes from the front and cuts its it so short and fast that I instantly knew he just did not look at the picture. He left me with nothing that I wanted besides it being short on the side. The other thing is that in the front, it said $20 for a haircut. When it comes time to pay, hes going to have to charge me $25, no explanation as to why its suddenly $5 more, then when I have to pay in card, says he has to charge $2 more. Being hit with a sudden 35% increase in price. This is before I even tip, but there was no tip option. Overall, bad haircut, bad advertising on price. The very low bar of expectations for a barber and it doesnt meet it.

Pedro Amaya Well I’m not going to drop names because I don’t want to ruin their clientele. IDK weather to laugh or be upset but from my haircut to beard lining up was wrong. I’m mostly bother at my beard idk how you look at this and be like “alright you’re good to go”. But yea I won’t be coming here again.

Gina Jimenez I gave them another chance because of the good reviews but Ill never go back again. Most of my hair fell out little by little after my last service. They used olaplex with color remover without me knowing. I had no idea I walked out with almost no hair left. Its taken 2 years to grow it out and get it healthy again.

Corey Slagle Humble barbers excellence customer service. Took my son to get a hair cut paid 6$ and got mine cut free. Showed them a picture of a hair style my son found online and the barber matched it to the tee. I highly recommend this place not only for the price but for the time they took to make the cut perfect. Plus where u going to get a better cut at that price. Most barber shops are 20$ and up check them out. U wont regret it save some money leave with a smile. thanks for the time to read my review.

Melanie Raimondi Me and my daughter received excellent service. The first time I visited, I was a walk in and Angela was my stylist. Right away she was welcoming and She felt like a familiar friend. I was happy with the trim and cut I received so I brought in my 8 year old daughter twice. 1 for a cut and the 2nd time for some beautiful red streaks in her hair. My daughter felt comfortable and Angela who is a mom also made sure to make her feel beautiful. I think this is the place we will be always coming back to when we need it!

Lexi Van Der Linden I got the WORST haircut here. They gave me extremely choppy, awkward, and short layers when I asked for long, blended layers. Now I have to hide my haircut and always wear my hair half up to hide the horrible layers. If I let it all down it looks like 2 completely different lengths, definitely never going here again.

Sadie Barber I’ve never written a review but i need to share. I only gave 2 stars for how kind my stylist was. Carmen was so sweet and very receptive to what I asked for. All I needed was a trim. Straight cut all around with some face framing pieces in front. I paid for a cut and blow out. I ended up leaving the salon with half wet hair and curled ends. From a far, very pretty, but up close, very frizzy and clearly wet. This didn’t bother me much and I’m very patient. For the trim, I thought it was lovely. But as soon as I came home and brushed out the curled ends, I realized how crooked my hair was. My husband had to cut almost 2 inches off of a single back piece that was left uncut. Now I am left with very crooked hair that can not be straightened. Very very sweet stylist, but I am very sad and will not be returning.
