I've been going to Alex for over a decade now and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. That kind of loyalty only comes from top-tier service. He's insanely consistent, pays attention to every detail, and always makes sure you leave looking fresh. The shop has a great energy it's very clean, professional, and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Appointments run on time, the atmosphere is chill, and the whole experience feels premium. If you want a barber who actually cares and delivers every single time, Alex is it. Easily one of the best barbers around. 1000% recommend. read more

First and foremost, the haircut I received from Adrian C. was top notch, nearly every bit five stars, except the times he pinned, folded, and otherwise held down my ears like a high school wrestler manipulating a rival. If you're going to cut around the ear, I get it, but if you're buzzing another part of my head, please let go of the ear. We aren't dating and I don't know you that well. The cleanliness of Elevate immediately signaled to me care and attention. The polished concrete floors were promptly cleaned and the decor was fresh and hip. While I'm sure the boys in the shop enjoyed the musical selections, I did not. These boys from the shop are boys from the hood. I'm told by reading information from the business, the owner enjoys playing "good" music; I beg to differ. In John Pinette lingo, "I say, nay, nay." The speakers, obviously prized for their clarity, carried the rhymes and rhythms of vulgarity. The demeaning social vernacular of words I would not use directed towards anyone, used to speak about women, or repeated racial slurs made me crawl under the barber's cape. The last "song" that was playing had the lyric "leave your panties on my nightstand." When I googled to try and find out what song was playing, I learned this: Regarding the broader context of leaving underwear on a nightstand at night, health experts often suggest that sleeping without underwear is beneficial for vaginal health, as it allows the area to breathe, prevents trapping moisture, and reduces the risk of infections, such as yeast infections. While some suggest wearing loose, cotton underwear is fine, skipping it entirely is generally recommended. Well, now I know. And knowing is half the battle. Price for a haircut $40, cash only. Education on vaginal health, free. read more

My boys have been getting their haircut with Alex for a little over 2 years. Alex is very versatile. My boys are both African-American and both have different hair textures, but he does an amazing job every time.

Brought my son to get a haircut at a different shop for the first time as his regular barber wasn't available. At first i was a bit iffy about trying out a new shop not knowing if the cut was going to be a good cut or not. I decided to book an appointment and give it a try because this shop has some of the better if not best reviews in the area. I booked my son's appontment on a sunday and came in to meet Adrian C. Let me just start off with saying he instantly made both my son and i comfortable and feel like we were no strangers to the shop. Haircut was definitely great forgot to take pictures to post here but i rate the overall experience and haircut 5+ stars. Shop is clean. Vibes are good. I'll be back forsure. read more

Started coming here after moving from OC. I was hesitant at first, after being with my barber for years but Cameron Mayes has been on point since my first cut. He does not disappoint! A couple of reasons I continue to come back: - Online booking system: makes it easy to plan and schedule my cuts with my schedule including evenings and weekends; note they also accept walk-ins assuming they have space - Lighting: great lighting for a cut, with overhead and ring-like lighting at each station read more

Walked in wasn't really greated kinda awkward. Then after waiting 20 mins was told cash only. Nice place but they need people skills and to inform ppl they cash only. read more

Never once did I think that going to the barber shop would be a dangerous situation. I came in on 6/16 for quick buzz cut. The only barber available was joey. Mind you there were multiple customers sitting in the lobby refusing to cut with him (instant red flag that I overlooked). He sat me down and the moment he started talking I knew something was off. He was *UNDER THE INFLUENCE* of some kind of drug/meth. Very slow cognitive behavior, excessive sniffling, extremely finicky hands, as well twitching his head for no reason, As he started cutting my head with trimmer I realized he was exerting an insane amount of pressure all over my head for no reason at all. I ignored it at first (as people make mistakes). After a while it got worse and worse as he was applying even more pressure! At this point I called him out and asked him to let off the pressure. He responds with "oh ok". By now all the other barbers were looking at him nodding their heads, rolling their eyes, baffled by his actions. I wish it ends here... the barber then pulls out a straight blade and lacerates my entire forehead with multiple cuts!! WHAT THE ACTUAL F%@K DUDE? His reaction was "wooooow that's crazy I cut you dawg" *grabs a dirty hair brush and rubs it all over my open wounds*. At this point I was extremely angry; I got up and said I will not be paying for this awful service. He walks to the back to ""fix it"", And I instantly walk out the shop with an incomplete haircut, multiple open cut wounds, and an immediate trip to kaisers urgent care. If you still insist on coming here after reading my horrendous experience (along with others), PLEASE make sure you have health insurance. This could have easily been a life threatening situation had he used the straight blade on my neck. Please get rid of that barber (joey) and keep our community safe. read more

I've been going to Cameron for a while now, and I can't recommend him enough. From the moment you sit in his chair, you feel like you're hanging out with a friend. He's easy to talk to, listens to what you want, and always delivers a great cut. You can tell he genuinely cares about his craft and makes sure you leave looking and feeling your best. If you're looking for a barber who's friendly, authentic, and knows what he's doing, Cameron's your guy! read more

Do not get a haircut from Cameron Mayes. I have a medical condition, and Cameron kept bullying me for it. Each time I had to ask Cameron to fix the haircut that he kept messing up, he just got more and more agitated, abusive, passive aggressive, and started throwing small quips to harrass me regarding my medical condition. On top of all that, I was cut by a blade multiple times on multiple areas. I had to ask to fix the haircut 5 times, up to the point where I felt it futile to ask to fix it again and Cameron's gaslighting was too much. The haircut was uneven on all sides, I received a high fade on my left side and a medium fade on my right side, longer and thicker patches hairs sticking out of random areas, etc. The haircut was so bad, I had to shave my head bald when I got home. I paid $35 and tipped $5 just to be nice. read more

Josh did a wonderful job on my son's hair. He took his time and made sure it was perfect. He really made the experience very enjoyable for my kids. He was so nice and friendly to both of my kids (One getting the hair cut and the other a spectator). Chatting with them and giving them great advice. I highly recommend him and I know my son would love to get his hair cut by Josh again. The only down side is Elevate is cash only and I didn't know ahead of time so I had to go to 7-11 and pull cash out. Other than that it was great. read more

The lighting inside of this store is insane and the couches are nice to chill on while you wait. They take all of the covid19 precautions and have dividers between all of the barbers. Make sure to make an appointment online or you aren't going to get in for a cut. I haven't cut my hair in over a year because I'm lazy and not going anywhere. Being my first time in a while, I made an appointment for Thursday with Davon. He took his time with my sides and cut my top to everything I asked for. I'm always hesitant on haircuts right before special events but Davon delivered. I looked homeless coming in but NOT ANYMORE BABY. If you see this Davon, thank you! read more

You ever find a spot so good that you don't wanna review them in fear that they get busier? But at the same time you want to so they grow and succeed? That has been my dilemma for about 2 years with Cameron and Elevate Barbershop. The amount of time and detail this dude puts in for the reasonable price he asks is just unbeatable. The cuts are so clean, I always get compliments. So while I'm hesitant to post this and completely book up his calendar, I think it's about time I do cuz he really deserves it. Go get your cut here and book with Cameron. Book online, don't bother calling. They'll just tell you to book online. If the time you want isn't available, that's because it isn't. Pick another day/time. read more

I have to say , if you book only make sure you going to right place other way .. u in for a bad start , and then good energy isn't there

Pretty nice joint! The owner is hands on and always willing to get down on hair. His staff is really friendly and helpful. It's a spacious barbershop and they have TV's, music and water to make sure you're comfortable. We usually go to Popular Demand in Alhambra and surprisingly it's the same owner as this barbershop . Highly recommend if you live in the area and need a good fade or hairstyle. I always take my husband and brother to get hooked up and they never disappoint. I'm glad the owner has multiple locations and so far the ones that I been to have the same high quality and excellent customer service in each one. read more

Walked in on a weekend and Henry got me straight. The vibes were good and super positive. I've been looking for a barber and think I might just come back. The reason behind my 4 star is that the price for what you get is a bit on the higher end. Overall great experience and will most likely come by again because of Henry! ‍ read more

Doesn't take walk-ins on a Monday morning. Guess they don't like making money either.

Oh yes! I've been following Cameron Mays since his student days in Pasadena. I drive all the way from East L.a. to West Covina now, what does that tell you. He is so great and reliable at his job... most others barbers pale in comparison. Book an appointment with him, I promise you won't be sorry. Thanks for yet another wonderful cut n experience Elevate. Will Garcia read more

Visited Elevate as a walk-in during opening hours to get a beard trim. There was one barber at the time and he graciously saw me after he finished his current client. The experience was fine; the barber was polite and spent about 15 minutes on my beard. He didn't ask me very much, but I wish I spoke up a little more as he was working. When I returned home, I looked in the mirror and spotted many touch-ups that needed to happen. The worst was the length of hair on the sides of my face, one side was short where the other side had about 4 inches of hair. Quick, but careless. I spent about an hour fixing my mane after, which is a shame. Thanks for seeing me, but I'd need to convince myself to return. read more

My step son stays with us on weekends, and we just moved to the area. I was out picking up lunch with him and decided to find a local place for a quick hair cut for him. This place came up at the top of the list with decent reviews, and it was around the corner from the Wingstop we were at. Called and they said they had a barber available, stopped by, and almost immediately we were tended to. The cut did take a minute, but the barber did do a good job, so no complaints there. The only complaint I really did have was they only take cash! Come on fam, it's 2023, who carry's cash on them these days... Luckily I asked the barber if they took Venmo, or Cashapp, which they did so it saved me a trip to the bank. read more

No one was experienced enough to do my son's hair. Called and asked if they could take my son and whoever answered laughed and said no one would want to take him !!! read more
