Ali. That's the review. She needs a 6th star. She exceeds expectations…read more I had the same barber for 20 years before I met Ali. My first barber is like a brother to me, and I couldn't imagine anyone else cutting my hair. When I moved to California, finding that same level of detail and care was almost impossible for the longest, until I discovered Ali at MJ's Barbershop in Alhambra. I walked in, and she was the only one there cutting a client. Hesitant, I waited, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made all year. Ali is exceptional. With over 15 years of experience, she has a vision for detail like no other. It's more than a haircut; it's an experience. From the precision in my beard grooming, the sharpness in the line up, to the relaxing temple massages, every detail is perfect and necessary every time once you've had it. The way this woman gives me my confidence back should be studied. I can't thank her enough. Over the last 6 to 7 months, she's not just become my barber, she's become a true friend of mine. I check in on her whenever I can, and if Ali can't cut my hair, I'll just have to rough it until she can.

And the barber finishing up didn't tell us he was leaving. He was cussing up a storm while my son was there not even being considerate. So there was one worker. The lady that finally ended up cutting my son's hair took her time on the client before us (about an hour). There was no one ahead of me either. We were done in 20 mins. But I've never waited this long for a hair cut. Like it's a barber shop not a beauty salon. She was nice and all but the wait time and poor communication is not cool...unorganized, long wait times, and understaffed. Skipping this place..

Title: Exceptional Service and Skillful Barbering at Elevate Barbershop! Review: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Elevate Barbershop, and I must say, it was an experience that exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, and the inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. However, what truly set this barbershop apart was the exceptional service provided by Donovan. Donovan, my barber for the day, displayed an impressive level of professionalism and skill. He took the time to listen attentively to my haircut preferences and offered valuable insights and suggestions to ensure I would leave with a style that suited me perfectly. His attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process, and I could tell he genuinely cared about delivering top-notch results. Not only was Donovan technically proficient, but he also had a friendly and personable demeanor that made the experience all the more enjoyable. He engaged in pleasant conversation, creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. It was evident that he takes great pride in his work, as he meticulously crafted each cut and made sure every detail was flawless. What impressed me the most was Donovan's ability to adapt his skills to suit the individual needs of his clients. He effortlessly blended traditional barbering techniques with modern trends, resulting in a hairstyle that was both classic and contemporary. His expertise and creativity truly shone through in his work. I left Elevate Barbershop feeling incredibly satisfied with my haircut and the overall experience. Donovan's exceptional skills, friendly nature, and commitment to providing top-quality service made my visit truly memorable. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a skilled and personable barber who goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. If you're looking for a barbershop that offers exceptional service and a talented team, look no further than Elevate Barbershop. Trust Donovan and his remarkable skills to give you a haircut that will leave you feeling confident and looking your best. read more

I only made a yelp account so I could capitalize on the check-in offers. However, my experience at Elevate warrants my first review. First, their response time was exceptional. I was having an issue making an online appointment, but through yelp messaging, Daniel helped me book an appointment with Jose "Biggie" Rodas. I've been trying to find my go to barber for the longest time. I was mainly towards the east since I live out there. However, I was never satisfied with my experience. At the places I've been to, the cut was never exactly what I wanted, the vibe wasn't really friendly, and the barbers displayed favoritism. Biggie and the other guys at Elevate exemplified a positive, friendly attitude that made me feel welcomed. I showed Biggie what I wanted and he gave me some suggestions, and after the cut, he was real with me. He told me my hair is still in the growing phase, so it won't be exactly like what I wanted just yet (pompadour/combover). I like how he was honest with me instead of saying whatever to "please the customer". All in all a great experience. Will definitely be back. read more

Amazing Place! Not only is this shop, vibrant, clean, and full of energy, but all the barbers that work here are extremely professional. In addition to the professionalism, the barbers are both engaging and efficient. They take great pride in what they do, as well as wanting to make sure they give you the best haircut you've ever had!! The attention to detail my barber showcases in each cut while always finishing in a timely manner is one of the MANY reasons I continue to come back. If you're looking for a cool environment while getting an exceptional haircut, this is your place. Elevate is more then just a barber shop, it's an EXPERIENCE!!!!! read more

This 5* review is for Biggie. When I came into the Elevate Barbershop I had a messed up haircut from a cheap barber. I told Biggie that I wasn't sure if it could be fixed I might have to shave my head and go bald. So he spent about an hour working my hair and beard till it was looking real fly. Now I make weekly visits he's the only person I trust with my hair and my beard. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a barber who carries himself professionally and takes the utmost pride in his craft. Lastly, make an appointment or call ahead they get busy and appointments will save you lots of time!! read more

Looks like I found my new barbershop! I've been going to the same place for 12 years and love my barber BUT it's really far and the wait drives me crazy sometimes. Elevate offers amazing barbers, an extremely convenient online booking system, and is a way more modern and inviting environment. I came in once and was sold - thats all it took. As soon as you walk in you can tell they really take what they do seriously. I'm convinced, I don't need to go anywhere else. From a guy going to the same place for years, trust me when I say... "these guys are worth checking out!" FIGHT ON, SC!! read more

I went this past Saturday and Biggie cut me. I got a good compliment about it when I visited my uncle later that day. I just had Biggie even me out and give me a lineup - nothing fancy. But, he also cut a kid who was in the chair right before me and it looked great! The kid was smiling all the way out the door with his parents who seemed really pleased. I definitely recommend this establishment. The barbers let their personalities show through in conversation, too. For me, that was definitely a plus. Overall, I had a great experience. I'll probably be back for some styling next time. read more

This place is one of the raddest barber shops I've ever been to. The atmosphere is fun, the service is incredible, and for a good price you get a good haircut. If you want a sick haircut I recommend going to this place. My favorite barber is Omar because he has given me the sickest mid-fades of my life. After I get my cut I get tons of people telling me how fresh I am and girls just falling for me because of it. I've been going to Omar for a while now and not once have I been unsatisfied so if you ever want to look fresh look none other to one of the g.o.a.t.'s himself. read more
