Went to take my son for a much needed and much wanted haircut for his birthday coming up. I was calling around, to different places while driving in the AC of my car. We ended up in Monrovia from south El Monte. (Grew up in the Duarte area) Anyways as I'm searching on the maps and looking at the stars on businesses, I found Casey's barbershop with a higher start rating. I pass by see the sign "walk ins welcome" also it's cash only FYI. After walking in i see why you guys have a good rating. Right off the back the old school barbershop vibe was amazing. We had Gary help us out, he was finishing up a client, my son liked the guys cut and said that's what he wanted. Gary did exactly what he wanted, when i tell you the smile he had when he saw one side of his cut done already while Gary worked on the other side is worth it. My son had a bunch of hair on him he hates the short buzz cuts but really wanted a cool refreshing cut. Gary you'll be seeing more of Zeke he has named you the guy for his cuts now. read more

First quality staff...don't even look at a mirror. OK to walk in and enjoy the vintage art. At 78, very familiar especially the large print of the Pasadena Freeway across from the Chinatown area. I remember when there were oil wells in the immediate hill. Casey, some pics for you: read more

Moved to Monrovia and wanted a closer barber, and Casey is great! As a new client, it was easy to get an appointment (just call ahead) and you'll get an estimated ETA of availability. Walk-in is also available, just might need to wait if so. The shop has a cool vibe with old fashion barber shop feel with good music and conversation. Everything is clean and professional. Don't forget to bring cash! No credit card. read more

This place is the best I got a low tapper fade and my barber was kind and the barbershop was so retro like in he 1950s I recommend this place It feels like you're in the 1950s and they even had what the city looked like 100 years ago read more

I did not have a great experience here. There were some pretty young guys working here when I went on a Friday. I could tell mine was inexperienced with how long he took care to comb my hair and looking at it without cutting it. I gave him the benefit of the doubt but the haircut did not come out well. And it wasn't until I left that I noticed he didn't even trim around my ears or handle my sideburns or care to ask. He didn't attempt at any sort of conversation and in fact had an AirPod in one ear, as did another very young barber while cutting someone else's hair. On top of all this it was very hot in the place. They have a mini fridge, but I guess it's just for the employees because I was offered nothing. It's also cash only, so come prepared for that. Expensive haircut for this experience. Better off going to Super Cuts. read more

Great service every single visit. Whether by appointment with Casey or any of his associates, or walk-in, you're never left waiting long. Never an uninviting atmosphere, Casey and his team always know how to make their customers feel welcomed. read more

Great place. They were able to squeeze me in as a walk in on a Friday. It's clean a barbershop with very reasonable prices for the good quality of work they do. Every barber working seems professional. read more

My son needed a haircut on a Sunday but our regular barber is closed Sunday's as is the case for many so I was beginning to give up hope until I found Casey's online. It was a little before 1:00 and the website and Google had him listed as being open until 3:00 on Sunday! Great! It was a little farther than I wanted to drive but he really needed a haircut so we made the drive. We arrived around 1:20 pm, had to park kind of far and walk up. To which we found a locked door and empty shop. No one there, no note on the door saying out to lunch or closed early for emergency, nothing just locked up tight over an hour and a half before they were supposed to close. So I drove almost an hour round trip for nothing. If the shop owner reads this please update your hours online. If you are going to close early on Sundays then reflect that online so that potential patrons aren't inconvenienced. read more

Needed a last minute haircut and finally got a chance to go to Casey's. Matt did a great job and I appreciated his suggestions and was very happy with my haircut. Can't wait to go back! read more

We're new to the city of Monrovia and I was in the search for a barbershop - so I googled the top 10 barbershops in Monrovia and Casey's Barbershop was rated #1 - based on them being #1, I decided to give them a phone call this afternoon to find out if they accepted Apple Pay, the gentleman that answered the phone, close to 5:00 pm, was the most rudest he could possibly be - he said no they don't accept Apple Pay, cash only, $40.00 - I tried to say thank you before I even could, he had already hung up the phone on me - Unfortunately, I did not get his name but, if he's not the owner, the owner can most likely figure out who this gentleman is by simply letting them know this phone call took place close to 5:00 pm Due to this person's rudeness, I decided not to give them my business - customer service is very essential to me and he definitely lacks that - At this point it is meaningless if this barbershop ranks in first place, customer service stinks - And btw, they don't even deserve a one star but, I couldn't complete this review without at least giving them a one star unfortunately - read more

Great haircut, good prices, friendly and professional staff. Need 85 characters to post, so I'm adding this sentence

Great atmosphere, awesome service, friendly staff. A little bit pricey, but will probably be back.

Being an extremely picky person when getting a haircut, I have finally found a barber that takes his time, ensures the haircut exceeds my expectations and it doesn't hurt that it's very reasonably priced. Gary is an artist and always perfects his craft! I highly recommend booking with him when you're in need! read more

An awesome local barber shop in good ol' Monrovia serving up some serious hipster vibes. My fiancé recently came here to get a haircut on a Sunday. Luckily, they were able to get him in a chair right away! He showed the barber a picture and off the barber went with the haircut. My fiancé walked away with a good haircut at a reasonable price. What I really like about this place are the vibes that they serve up in this place. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone in SGV looking for a new read more

Excellent service! Great music and vibe. Everyone is friendly in the shop. Casey accommodates you the best he can and is fast but efficient. Definitely returning. Felt welcomed and well taken care of. read more

Terrible cut, he shaved it the minute we walked in the door. He mentioned 5 appointments, maybe rushing we were a walk in. Literally $40 in the trash read more

I brought my elderly dad in today for a haircut and a beard trim and Ralph helped my dad. We came in right when Ralph was about to leave, but Ralph stayed and helped my dad. He did an amazing job and he was super kind and nice with my dad. Ralph also cuts my son's hair and he always makes Erik look handsome and well groomed! Thank you Ralph for going above and beyond! We will return and ask for you! Rock on man! read more

CASEY IS THE MAN! Support your local business! After frequenting places like Supercuts and Fantastic Sams, they never got it right. I decided enough is enough and paid a visit to my local barbershop. The ambience is amazing! A very retro, old school feel with good tunes. I called in the morning and set my appointment for 4pm. I got there on time with Casey ready for me. He's a magician with his clippers and gave me a nice skin fade with a little bit off the top. Afterwards, I went home to shower and styled my hair back into a perfect pompadour... my girlfriend loved it! They definitely have a new loyal customer. read more

They gave my son a hair cut a while back. They commented how good he did. My wife called back months later to get him another haircut and they said they don't have time, then the next day they said they can't cut his hair cause he was too young then hung up on her lol read more

Went here for a quick haircut but I think I'll end up coming back quite permanently. Ryan took me in last minute and i really liked the end result they were able to do with my hair (just wish they could work the same magic with my face). All in all, these folks work clean and sanitary but most importantly with how I saw folks that walked in and came out and for how my haircuts always finish they are up a level in knowing how to style which is more than I can say for shops twice their price point which I used to frequent. read more

Took my son in and he received the worst haircut of his life. It was uneven and cut super short in the front. I've never cut hair and if I did it would've looked better than this. This was right before school started and my son was so embarrassed and sad. I come here for convenience and he's had a few cuts that I didn't care for but this was the worst. read more

Stopped here before my trip to Yosemite and got recommended by Liam over at the Starbucks across the street.( Fire brown sugar shaken espresso!). I saw Leo and could not be happier with my experience, excellent work all around and great conversation. Listened to what I asked for and hit it out of the park! The vibes were amazing, old timely barber place 10/10! read more

Best boys cut for my 6 year old!!! Highly recommend. Mr Casey was so very attentive to my son and gave a great cut, just as I'd asked for. Will be regulars. read more

This place is great. Everyone is friendly and easy to work with. Casey the owner is awesome!

This is the best and only barber shop I recommend to all of my friends and family, I personally take my teenage son here. Casey, the owner, has been cutting my ex husband's hair for over a decade now. There's no one else we'd go to. It's definitely not a children's barbershop where you get a booster and balloon, it's a well established men's spot. My son runs in, I grab my coffee. 20 minutes every time. Making an appointment is easy, cuts are quick and always look good. read more

Casey's the man, my son and I have been coming to him for years now. Always great service and hair cuts. Easy day before or morning of scheduling always a pleasure. read more

Thirty dollars for a ten minute haircut on a head that is more than half bald...Well O.K. I tipped the barber as well.. I asked for a light trim and it turned out just o.k. The thing that bothers me is the lack of attention to detail. Older guys get hair growing out of the ears and neck and the eyebrows go crazy. I got home and in better light realized there are still wild hairs growing out of my ear lobes and back of my ears. For thirty bucks the barber shaould also have trimmed my eyebrows. I I realize there are different barbers at Casey's but if it's Casey's Place he needs to keep an eye on the barbers he rents his chairs to. The quality was not there. read more

First time customer, definitely the best barber shop I've ever been to! Casey is awesome, he does great work, the only thing you'll regret, is not going sooner. The place is super cool, everyone is chill, the shop is designed nicely and is clean and friendly. This is the only place I'd go for a haircut ever. read more

I went to their old place on Myrtle by the Theater across from the Chinese restaurant that also disappeared. No longer there. Guy said "reservations only" had no idea who the hell he was. Anyway my wife found a place, took my stepson and myself to get a haircut and the entire gang moved over to Caseys. My stepson has Aspergers and decided to roam around in the bathroom for 30 minutes while he was waiting for me to get my cut, and they were very cool about it. Great old School Vibe, Just went today, FYI Cash only, as a Business owner myself credit cards charge 4% for every sale and it just doesn't make sense when every dollar counts. There's 3 bank ATM's within walking distance (Chase, BanoAmerika, and Citibank. Point is, if you're a Man, get a cut at the Barber, don't be heading to a stylist or you'll end up with a fluffy hair cut like that contestant on Jeopardy that looked like he scams people on timeshares. I'd like to think your father taught you better. read more

Went here for a few years. It's very close to my house, so I just kept going out of convenience even though the service was always mediocre at best. Multiple times, I would show up on time or even early to find that Casey had decided to try and squeeze in a walk-in Customer, and that I would have to " wait a bit" The final straw came today. I had a true family emergency and had to cancel my appointment, last second. I know how tough businesses like these are to run, so I zelle'd Casey full payment and tip as if I showed up and he did his job. He responded by telling me I can no longer make appointments until the morning of... after I paid him full cost plus tip for doing nothing. That is no way to run a business especially to a good customer who has been tipping well for years Don't go here unless you like dealing with big egos and paying with cash only lol read more

Knowledge, trustworthy and very chill. Highly recommend! Glad I stopped by. Love the awesome music and it's pretty convenient to get into.

Haircuts with a smile. Great decor, good people, nice prices...what more do you need at a local barbershop? read more

Was visiting from Boston and needed a haircut. Barber was great - I was able to walk-in and be Sat immediately. The barber did a fantastic job on my high and tight with a cut in part. In and out in about 30 min. Highly recommend read more

I've been coming here since it opened and even though I've seen a lot of barbers come and go they've all been fantastic. The price has always been more than fair and the vibe is laid back. I commonly work 6 day weeks so it's been nice being able to get a haircut on Sundays and both of the guys currently there on Sunday (Gary and Douglas) do excellent work. read more

First time costumer I called up to make a morning appointment. Had to wait a bit past the appointment time but these guys aren't robots in fact quite the opposite! Craftsman would be the word! I've spent a long time trying to find a barber who was close to home, I was tired of driving 25 miles for a 'decent' cut. I was setup with Pep and man he had complete understanding of what kind of cut I wanted with minimal explanation, the man is experienced to say the least. He had such an eye for detail and was very efficient and communicative. Definitely worth any wait and every penny. That's another thing, this place is FAIRLY PRICED! Bring cash and don't forget to tip your barber! I will not go anywhere else. read more

Great place to get a nice haircut . The owner is funny and friendly . Definitely recommend it.

Awesome little place tucked in the heart of Monrovia. On Myrtle so it was very easy to find. I've been looking for a new barber since my last barber moved and I found Casey's on YELP. I called and spoke with the man of the hour Casey booked an appointment for an hour later. So I show up, Casey is cool, the other guys are cool the shop has a few clients. Casey cut my hair and it turned out excellent. Take a look at some pictures I posted. Casey is very personable and has an all around good attitude on life. I found my new barber and best of all he is not a f*ing POSER!! Lol (inside joke) read more

About a week later I came back with my son. I did not have an appointment. I was told to come back in 2 hours. I felt kind of dismissed. We decided to go to Old Town Monrovia Barber Shop instead. We were taken in immediately with no wait. Bruce gave my son a great haircut and a great experience. We had a nice chat as well. Old Town Monrovia Barber Shop took excellent care of us and made us feel welcomed and appreciated so my son and I will be getting our haircuts over there instead from now on. read more

I've been jumping from haircut place to haircut place for the past 9 years, probably similar to dating apps. Haircuts have been randomly good but never great. The wandering nomad days (for haircuts) are done, finally found a place to settle for a lifetime heh. The bros here are welcoming and I haven't had any disappointments from any haircut they give. I'm not very specific on my haircut, I just tell them make me look good and they damn well deliver every time. Just from my experience, if I come in randomly, I've been fortunate enough to be seated relatively quickly. The atmosphere/ambience has the old barber shop look and the music playlist is some awesome oldies, pre-Beatles, so I wanna say probably 1950s and earlier. Also I haven't wrote a Yelp review in like 3 years but hands down, I've had consistently good experiences from this place, so these dudes deserve the 5 stars! read more

Great barber shop. It's easy and casual to schedule appointments, and walk ins are welcome too. I scheduled my appointment on the day of and I didn't have to wait when I arrived. Casey did a great job on my haircut. I would definitely recommend this place read more
