    Came by on a Saturday afternoon and got my haircut from Jackie. There was only one person ahead of me so the wait wasn't long, but soon there were three people waiting after me while there's only one barber. Jackie gave me a good cut at my request of a combover cut and a 1 on the side with fade. He also texturized my hair to add volume and used different buzzers to achieve a short cut around the ears and back of head. He knew how to cut the cow-lick part of my hair so it wouldn't protrude. Overall, it was a great cut, which I was in and out within 20 mins. We also chit chatted a bit, but Jackie was always concentrating to make sure the haircut is what I envisioned. The price was $15 for a men's haircut, but don't forget to tip your barber also.

    I've been coming here a few times now, and Tony is the man! A local barber with an expert touch, he's really quick and efficient. His many years of experience shows with each haircut. The first few times, I showed him pictures of what I wanted. He was able to recreate those cuts perfectly! After regularly coming here for the last year, he knows what I want and is able to do it right every time, like the first time. It's $15, which is totally fine considering COVID circumstances and how he's a one-man show. However, it's way worth it and he deserves all the support he can get! Just know that he usually locks the front door to help with social distancing and crowd control, so wait a minute for him to see you at the door and let you in.

    We had an amazing experience at Hair Matters! The staff were fantastic, and my son's perm and cut exceeded our expectations. He's never looked sharper! Highly recommend Hair Matters for anyone seeking top-quality grooming services.

    I usually get my haircut by the owner but he was busy with another customer. I had the lady cut my hair and she avoided showing me the back of my head after my haircut. She eventually showed me and tried to tell me i already had a bald spot when i never did.

    I never truly realized how often men get haircuts until I got married and hubby bear started searching for a regular barber. We live in Thousand Oaks now, and we still go to Hair Matters whenever we're in the SGV to visit my parents. It's never packed whenever we come, but this mom & pop shop always has 1 or 2 guys waiting to get their hair cut. It's a typical hair cut place but with a lot of cool anime style art and little panda drawings on the walls. The barbers are the best. Polite, quiet, and they won't make you talk to them if you don't want to - which is perfect for my husband who doesn't like making idle small talk. While both barbers are good, my husband prefers the older man, who finishes a quality cut within 10 minutes. Hair cuts are about $10 dollars and we usually give a $1-2 tip. What a deal for a consistent and fast haircut. We've been to supercuts, fantastic sams, and other local shops in the sgv, la and ventura county - Hair Matters is unmatched in the quality, speed and value of the service they provide. We're coming back soon for hubby bear's next haircut!

    I check on Yelp and they're open, but you gotta call them first to make sure they're open. The uncle was great, quick and know how style man's hair. 1 head only took him 10 minutes. I would recommend him to a friend

    On a side note for those wondering what happened to Tony, he unfortunately passed away due to illness and now Jacky runs the place.

Tell you what, with the price you pay for, you will not regret!! Cindy is a very nice and friendly hair stylist. She spent a lot of time cutting my hair and trimming it again the next day to make sure that I'm satisfied with my hairstyle. She was very detailed oriented and would recommend hairstyle or length based on my face shape, and her previous experiences. My husband is not a big fan of short hairs, but he said he likes it. ;) By the way, she is by appointments only. Make sure you call her for your appointment first.

It was about 3:30pm when I came in, and no one else was there, which I Iliked since that allowed Ched to take his time with my hair. However, no sooner I did a check in and got into the chair for shampooing, three other women decided to show up and wanting their hair done too, lol! Hahaha, I brought Ched extra business on a slow Friday afternoon ;) Ched gave me a great scalp massage while shampooing my hair. After he applied conditioner, it got slippery and water sprayed all over. Luckily, I I wasn't soaked, and Ched was very apologetic from beginning to end, how sweet! :) Even though 3 women came in, Ched took his time with me, and didn't rush through. He asked me how I wanted my part, and covered up my lil hole on my top crown. He made my curls tight since my hair was baby fine and topped it off with Suave brand gel hairspray. My curls were awesome, and they held nicely throughout my friend's bday party. Best of all, when I came home and brushed it out before showering, it still looked amazing! *Sighs* had to brush it out otherwise, it'll look like a rat's nest in the morning, lol! The wash and curl took no more than 25 mins to do. Cost was $20 (not including tip). My curls were tight and intact with my baby fine hair. I did notice that unlike Drybar, Ched doesn't put mousse in there first, so some parts of curls were crunchy, but thank goodness not fried. However, my curls held up nicely, and so I was happy :) Located in the same plaza as Game Stop, Arby's and 99 Ranch Market in Alhambra. I would definitely come by again for a hair cut or wash and curl again, yay! :)

She is our go-to hairstylist. She is quick and does a pretty good job for $15. She is one of the best at this salon, so the wait for Lin might be long (on a busy day.) She is welcoming, pleasant to talk to, and accommodating. I am not 100% certain if she does appointments, but walk-ins is available/preferred. Not gatekeeping this gem any longer--my husband and 2 boys have been coming here for 10+ years. We tried other salons and barbershops and nothing beats the price, the skill, and efficiency. And, since we moved, we willingly drive 30 mins out here to get the best and most affordable haircuts. The best and most affordable in SGV. The atmosphere/vibe feels a bit gloomy, but the service is pleasant nonetheless. Also, the salon needs some TLC--so don't expect a fancy luxe salon. This is our "diamond in the rough."
