Cut my hair here a couple of times and they did a fantastic job! Seriously got so many compliments on my cut from Rosie. The ladies are super sweet and got me in and out in a timely manner. Super affordable as well. I'll def be back! read more

I stopped by Mari's Barber before 4pm and the door was locked and a lady said that they closed at 4 pm instead of 5pm. I told her what I need to get haircut and the sign says closed at 5pm . Why did she closed at 4pm . They should fix new sign time ! I am really disappointed read more

Great haircuts, including women's short hair, curly hair. The shop is clean, the barbers professional. Women friendly. Great value. It took me a while to find a great place like this in Riverside. I'll be returning. read more

Perfect haircut! They also give you a hot towel and a neck & shoulder massage when they finish with the haircut. Thank you! read more

I needed my beard trimmed up for my Mom's home going service on Friday. I've been passing by Mary's twice a day for 11 years. I was looking for a local place and something said "Man, give Maru's a shot". I've always thought it was a "Beauty" shop. Anyway, I pull up. No wait. Young lady (Mailette?) hooks me up. Made me look good. Excellent choice on my part. Go to Maru's. No wait and you'll be in and out of there feeling good in no time. read more

I've been coming to Maru's for years now. I always receive the very best customer service and would recommend to anyone!

I went here and asked for her to not take anything off the top and back and fade up the side for a mullet. She didn't do anything I told her to do. She cut off my mullet that I've been growing out for 7 months and cut off my bangs. I am never coming back here ever again. read more

Amazing service, kind people, and one of the best perm + haircuts i've gotten for a very reasonable price. The nice woman who helped me spent a lot of time going above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my hair. I will definitely be coming here again and encourage others to do so as well!! read more

Maru rocks! Great place, wonderful lady. Great haircuts at a reasonable price.

This is a small but high quality barber shop. I'm a student at UCR and I've struggled to find a balance between price and quality. Amazingly, this business strikes that balance! I highly recommend Maru's for your haircut needs - I'll be coming back here whenever I'm in Riverside. read more

I went in to get a gentleman's combover, had a nice conversation while feeling at home. She did an amazing job and pretty fast with fine detail. Was cool to have a massage, lineup with mustache trim, and an eye brow trim which would normally be an extra charge elsewhere. The price is unbeatable, leaves plenty of room to tip well. read more

Best place in town and best service. Very kind and always takes care of her clients. Out of all the places in town I always come here

Maru was fantastic! She cut my hair exactly how I described it was just a trim to get rid of the split ends and layers. There was even a neck massage and a hot towel that felt so nice. Cash only. read more

Love the two ladies who cut the hair here. Good fades and pricing is reasonable. Will be coming here from now on.

I went in not really knowing how to explain what I wanted and came out as happy as can be. My stylist clearly knew what she was doing and was happy to explain what cuts would work better for my hair type. Although I didn't catch her name, I will make it a priority to remember for the next time I come by. All three ladies cutting hair were lovely and I felt welcome the moment I stepped in. I ended up paying $17 for my cut and a scalp/shoulder massage free of charge! You will not be disappointed. Even though the shop is small, the deal and service are great. Keep in mind that they only accept cash so plan for that ahead of time (: read more

I've been coming here for several years and I have never had a single bad haircut from this place. Better than any barbershop I've been too at a great price. I'd highly recommend. read more

Maru takes pride in her work, business and clients. She pays attention to the smallest detail and includes a quick shoulder/head massage with your hair cut. The place is small but you will feel comfortable after a few minutes. read more

Walked in for a haircut I showed Maru a picture and she gave me exactly what I wanted. Super friendly and professional gives great massages included. I also can appreciate that she's very price conscious especially during these times. She does walk in so that's great for last minute person like me. Highly recommend and now she has a new customer for life. read more

Maru's Barber and Beauty is one of Riverside's hidden treasures. Maru is one of a kind, and a sweetheart. Her booth has 4 or 5 different electric clippers (maybe more) all plugged in, displayed nicely, and used often. I was impressed with how invested she is with making an individual's hair look awesome. I received a double zero high fade and she took care of every single hair on my scalp, not missing a trim. The atmosphere is comfortable, complimented by a pretty diverse playlist coming from her Bluetooth speaker. On top of that she uses warm towels and other fine beauty supplies. There is normally a short wait, but it's worth it. read more

I brought my boys here by necessity, because my regular barber was too busy, I couldn't find parking. I had been meaning to try this place out because it's close to home but old habits die hard. I entered and was warmly greeted by three beautiful women. The aura is fantastic and warm. The ladies faded my boys beautifully and fast. It's awesome to see powerful women taking a typically male job and be just as good, if not better! It's a small shop but don't be dissuaded. They finish your hair cut with a hot towel neck massage. Just wonderful! I got a freebie trial- much needed. read more

Just came out of the barbershop. It's a tiny place not very fancy but Maru is very attentive does what you ask and explain every part of the process before going forward to the next stage. If you want fancy and loud music this is not the place. If you want a very professional cut check it out. read more

I started going there a few years ago and it is my go-to haircut place. Very reasonably priced but the difference is the owner is a very high integrity person. When we first met my wife was going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. She asked my wife's name and my permission to pray for her. Ever since then everytime I come in she asks me how my wife is doing and we have talks about faith and family. I feel very welcomed in this location read more

It was my first time I had my hair tapered with a clipper. They did a fabulous job. Now I'm a returning customers. I go there once every two weeks. My wife loves my hair being done by Maru's and it's staff. I'm going back there again very soon. Walk in. Cash only. They have fabulous hair products they use on my hair as well. read more

I came in got to a chair right away, I got my cut by maru herself, very nice and friendly. She did my fade exactly how I wanted. Also great prices so you can't beat that. Thank you for the great service! read more

After cutting my hair for years at home it had been forever since I'd stepped foot inside a barber shop. I walked in early morning no wait, was welcomed to a chair right away. Easy going atmosphere with attention to the details on your head. The standard service included a razor cleanup which for me is what sold me, especially for my neck. They also trim up my unruly eyebrows and tame my mustache, all part of the cut. And to top it off they leave you feeling like a new man with a scalp massage with a very gentlemanly balm, and a should massage. Again all part of the standard cut. I was most impressed with how reasonable the price was. This was just the place I have been looking for, and i will be back again for sure! read more

It may not be the nicest little building, but don't judge the book by the cover in this case. I walked in and was given a seat and a quick hair cut (exactly the kind I asked for), then the lady cutting my hair said she uses a straight razor to clean up the edges (provided a super clean finished look). Then she mentions, "part of our service is to give a little neck massage." It was a minute of pure joy! Then I got my hair rinsed, and she says, "Oh yeah, another part of the service is a little scalp massage." Ok, I'm starting to think, "how much are all these extra 'services' going to cost me?" At the end I was surprised to see that the whole experience was well under $15. Unheard of for almost any barber shop that owns a straight razor. All this to say, they did a good job and I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Great place for a cut with a great price. The girl that cut my hair was so friendly and she cut my hair just the way I wanted, no over cutting and really listened to what I wanted. My hair looked so good got so many compliments. I left there happily handing her a great tip I just wish I could remember her name but I will definitely be going back! read more

This is a great little barbershop! Only two people were working and there was only about 5 feet of walkable space in the shop, but don't let the looks scare you off!!! The haircut was exactly what I wanted, and there's a wall of styles of cuts they can do. They also do eyebrow trim, mustache trim, ear trim, straightedge razor for the back of your neck, hot towel and head/neck massage! ALL OF WHICH IS FREE with the $10 haircut!!! Yup, I'll be back here everytime. Note that this place is CASH ONLY! Elizabeth was my stylist. read more

I had an appointment in the area but me and my husband were desperate to get hair cuts so we yelped on. It is a very small place with two lovely ladies. At first I thought it was just a baber shop when I walked in but we asked and they said they also do women's. (they also do brazilian blowouts as seen on their sign). Before I decided to go on with my hair cut, I watched how the women of Maru's shop worked and it really showed how they put effort in work making everything perfect. They deliver finesse work. I then decided to go on with my haircut. Asking for a 2in trim to my bob. Miss Maru cut in small sections making it look as perfect as I think it did. I am very pleased with how me and my husband's hair cuts turned out. If only we lived closer we would make this place our regular haircutter. My husband's haircut $11 my haircut $14! Worth the visit. Come see for yourself. read more

We were recommended this place by my boyfriends brother, I'm doing this review for my boyfriend who only comes here for haircuts after getting his first cut 3 months ago. He sees Maru who is the owner. Both lady's are very friendly and welcoming. I like that they ask what he likes(length and style), they also trim and line up his beard, line up the back and I especially like that they pay attention to detail. They'll even trim the eyebrows (my guys passes) oh and they include a hot towel massage at the end which is nice! We don't make appointments but are usually seen fairly quickly and they never 'rush you out' when people are waiting. I would recommend it to my brothers and dad anytime! read more

they messed up my hair and she rushed me out of there without giving me my change. I wouldnt recommend going there. first n last time

This place offers good haircuts for very affordable prices, and even comes with a little massage! Maru was really nice and I felt welcome there. Will definitely be coming back! read more

My experience was pretty much exactly like the previous reviewers, great haircut, straight razor shave and a great massage, all for 10 bucks. You can't beat that, I'm making it a point to come here every time I get a haircut now. read more

Elizabeth did a great job on my hair! Cut it exactly how I wanted and offered some useful tips on the styling of my hair along the way. Will definitely go back. Can't beat $11 for a great cut, straight razor shave on my neck, near my ears, and on my brow, and a neck/shoulder/scalp massage. Thank you!! read more
