I have been to Herm's many times before, however I've always gone with Efrain for my boys cuts. Well my kids regular barber was unavailable and so I needed to take my kids in as walk in. So my kid didn't get the guys name only that it's the second to last guy from the right -_- I am more mad at myself for not going with him and even more upset my son and his dad actually PAID for this horrible cut. This guy manage to take part of my sons eye brow like wtf!!!! His hair line is so far back and both sides look different like he did one number one side and another number on the other. Herms used to be the spot you used to be able to trust just about everyone there but after today.... I just can't take that chance. F€#% us that my son has school pictures and his cut and now his eyebrows are all messed up. Do yourself a favor - unless you have appointment with Herm himself (I know he does good work) save yourself from disappointment looks like place is now set up of student barbers with a lot to learn. read more

Hands-down best barbershop in Bakersfield No sorry let me correct that best barbershop in the state of California... these guys are super professional super clean and the thing I love about them the most they treat everyone with respect...no matter who you are if you walk into Herms they will take care of you read more

Oh oh. Welcome to the east side barbershop. I walked up to Herms to see if they were open and found the shop was popping. The chairs were busy and there were people waiting. Herms looked up and said "yo give us about 45." I said "ain't no thing bruh," and went off to Lowe's for 45. When I came back, the chair was ready to go and we got right to it. Herms is a cool guy and he took his time cleaning up my beard. The beard was edged, shortened, and oiled. We chatted about life, and had the usual barbershop banter. Raider Nation 4 Life. Sorry about Garbageoppolo. The beard cleanup was $15 and it's definitely worth it. Herms is a nice, clean spot with a laid-back vibe. The barbers know what they are doing and can get you that fade you need. I can definitely recommend Herms and I'll be back again. read more

I took my nephew to get a hair cut and not only did I pay $45 bucks for an uneven cut but the guy was complain about all the other barbers the whole time I don't remember his name but his station was in the front had he been more concerned about the low skin tapper not talking about other people he even started to complain to me like i cared about anyone else business .....one side of my nephews cut was clearly higher then the other side he was so worried about rushing through my nephews cut so he could take the next walk in at least thats what he was telling the other barber next to him i should have just got up and walked out he tried to be nice to my nephew letting him play with his tools but then made a joke about how much his tools cost like I was gonna be responsible for them he literally told my nephew to turn them on the lack of professionlisim and the converstations going on was mind blowing in front of kids defiently not a family buisness wont ever go here again read more

This is the best barbershop in Bakersfield. A very busy place, I think there are eight or ten chairs and they are all full the times I have been here. All of the barbers do good work, and all I have seen are happy customers. For a few dollars more you can get an appointment, that is the way to go. Or walk in and sign the sign in sheet. I have been here with and without an appointment, but it does not take too long either way. There are two TVs in the waiting area, always sport when I have been there, no sound with closed captions. They play music inside, it is a lively place. Everyone seems to be happy to be there, customers and barbers alike. This shop is in a huge plaza, there is plenty of parking. But the best thing about it is the results. These guys do excellent work. Try them out, You may never go anywhere else. read more

Hands down, no questions asked this is the best barbershop in Bakersfield. To me, a haircut is the BIGGEST deal. At herms you can't go wrong!

The atmosphere here is crazy! It's like a good old fashions barber shop with a modern feel. The other barbers are just as dope too! Diego, Sal, and Efrian are some of the best people you'll ever meet. If you need a cut this is definitely the place to be, fast friendly service and you'll NEVER go wrong with booking an appointment here! read more

Herms Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This is the place to be...newly renovated (moved right next door) way bigger and great ambiance. One thing that stands out in this establishment, is that it respects the fact that it's family friendly. What does that mean? Well, as any other barbershops in the area, the majority of customers are usually a younger crowd. Therefore, there's bad language and the occasional marijuana stench...BUT NOT HERE! The owner Herm, emphasizes good behavior in this establishment. Don't give me wrong, it still gets loud (laughter) and it's pretty chill. I personally get my cuts from Efrain Oliveros...he's the MAN...great cuts and pretty detailed too. They charge $15 per cut and obviously the prices go up for special cuts. If you want to make an appointment, call ahead and I believe it's an extra $10 to do this ($25) Not bad if you're in a hurry! Come on over and have a good time! I love how these guys clown on each other lol read more

This place takes forever to get a haircut, came in at 9:47, still waiting, it's now 10:11, all the associates do is talk, if I came to talk, I would've gone to Supercuts, but I mean the floor is a little dirty as well, the lighting is bright, and it's hard to see the outside to see if anyone is even in here. read more

I traveled two hours to get a haircut at this barber shop. It was well worth the drive! It was a very welcoming environment. The barbers take great pride in their work and make sure the customers are happy with the entire service. The price is very reasonable as well. read more

Iv been coming to this shop for over 7 years, and wouldn't think about going anywhere else. Even when I moved away from this side of town I still travel to cross town every week to get my haircut at this location. my main Barber is a young guy named Diego. Very professional relaxed atmosphere. My only recommendation is that you make a reservation with the barber beforehand. This barbershop is very famous in town and dose get extremely busy. Appointments do take priorities and walk-ins might have to wait over an hour depending on what time of day and what day of the week. Appointments are more expensive but definitely worth the price. read more

Needed a haircut really bad and my usual spot was closed . Came to this place on a Sunday as a walk in and was seen right away . Place looks amazing and the atmosphere is pretty chill as well . Got a great cut and might make this my spot from now on read more

Such a great barbershop. Very well ran and taken care of. Most barbers market on social media so you are able to see their work and decide who is the best fit for you. Most of the barbers are also offering online scheduling which is very convenient. They do accept walk ins but appointments are recommended to avoid any waiting.The business itself is very well ran. Always a clean and child friendly environment. Price list is displayed and very reasonable. Plenty of parking spaces available.. read more

Do you like being treated like you don't exist? Do you think that racism against whites is a good idea, and "about time"? Then I've got the barber shop for you!! My wife and two small boys (3 and 5) arrived here on a Sunday 20 minutes after opening as walk ins. We expected to wait, and took a number. We we're immediately told that it would take "over an hour, we just want you to know" We said that was fine, and that we'd go run errands and be back. An hour later we returned. My wife asked what number they were on and was told 97. We held 99 through 101. Over an hour later...not one of us had been served. In the meantime, the now serving sign was turned off, so as not to give awareness to which number was being waited on, and a steady stream of friends and associates (who'd arrived long afterward) streamed through the chairs with zero indication to us that we would be served at any point. At the total time waited mark of 135 minutes..we left. We were quiet and polite and extremely patient. Judging by my surroundings, the only thing I appeared to be guilty of was being white. This is not the first time I've experienced this in Bako, and normally I'd shrug it off and move on. But to do it to a three year old and a five year old? Racism isn't unidirectional folks. Everyone has to stop if things are to get better. read more

This barber shop is often packed for a reason. Without a doubt this is the best barber shop in Bakersfield. Call ahead to avoid the long lines of people standing outside to get in. read more

This morning I took my husband and two son's to Herm's Barbershop. When I walked in, I took 3 numbers and then one barber told me it would be about an hour wait. I said, ok, I will be back before then. We went to a different store, came back before the hour was up. I asked what number they were on, and they were one number away from my number. I brought my husband and two kids inside, sat down, and after an hour more they did not serve us. Many customers went before us who arrived after us, not to mention the fact that we had been there an hour before that to get a number. There was no indication that we would ever be served, and I could no longer expose my son's to such blatant racism, therefore we left. Both my sons cried and could not understand why they were not given haircuts. read more

Herms barber shop is the best place to go to get your haircut in Bakers. It has that"Barbershop" environment and is quite honestly one of the Nicest shops in Bakersfield. All of the barbers are highly skilled at what they do you will be Satisfied with your cut. I personally get my fades done by Efrain Oliveros, but I wouldn't mind if another barber had to do my cut. They all do extremely well. Great Family environment, good place to take the kids too. I would highly recommend trying Herms Barbershop. read more

It was my first visit to the shop. The guys here are chill. The barbers know how to cut hair, and take their time to make sure you are satisfied. The music is good as well. My barber was Effrain, he was down to earth, friendly, and made great convo. Loved my haircut!! Will def be going back! read more

My husband and I went to Herms since his barber moved to this location. To be honest it's quite a drive since we live on the southwest but decided to make the drive because he really likes how his barber cuts and it's difficult to find a good barber. However, upon arriving no one greeted us or asked if he had an appointment everyone just stared at us and continued to cut. When they saw we wouldn't sit down they finally asked if we were waiting for someone. My husband said yes and he was called to the back. While he got his hair cut two of the workers started to play around by pushing each other and eventually went to the back and were throwing each other against the walls. The owner was there and did nothing to control his workers. Complete lack of Professionalism. Won't be coming back we really don't know how this place was voted 2 best barbershop. The owner needs to implement a way for people who are coming in to feel welcomed and know the system and More importantly keep his workers on check. read more

One of the best in town, Herm very good at making his business and a very humble guy with all his barbers. Shout out too Sal the barber I have been getting a haircut by him for a year very good peoples. read more

Racist. Literally just went in and not one employee was working. All sitting reading magazines and watching sports. Sat down and waited for 10 minutes, was not greeted or asked if I wanted a hair cut. So I left. I am white and noticed another reviewer who was white describe an eerily same situation. There was not even another person waiting. I was literally the one person besides employees in the shop and wasn't even acknowledged. Disgusting. Now being harassed about my honest post from "loyal customers". Losers. I was just told to, "go to Supercuts because I looked like a girl..." I should have, that would have been a HUGE upgrade. Thanks for the advice. read more

Avoid this place, bad service, HORRIBLE cut. I took my son to this barbershop for a trim, when we arrived there wasn't really any noticeable check in/list of any sort, but assumed there was a method that the 4 barber's including the owner Herm used. After getting passed up twice by people who arrived after us, we were about to leave when one of the barber's finally asked us if we were ready, younger kid 20ish. Not wanting to wait some place else, I had my son hop on the seat, gave the barber very specific instructions, and let him go to work. During the cut, the barber kept stopping to check AND answer text messages. This guy seemed more interested in what he was going to do after work than the person sitting in his chair. Once it was over, he combed my boys hair with gel and it seemed done, so we paid and left. The next morning after he showered my wife examined the cut and saw all of these obvious uneven cuts that weren't easy to see when it was styled, but obvious otherwise. I was looking for the barbershop Vintage Cuts when I found this place. I didn't realize it was in the shopping center East of this one. I will never step foot in this place again. read more
