My wife's hair stylist had moved out of town and didn't refer her to ANYONE! Yikes! She has naturally curly hair and it's not easy to find a good stylist. She called around and all the salons wanted to charge at least $40 ... just for a trim! Too rich for our budget! My son recommended Northwest Barber Shop. We called them and they said Marcos could take care of her natural curl, no problems. She's been to him twice now and he is EXCELLENT!!! The price is perfect, too! I highly recommend Marcos at Northwest Barber Shop! read more

My 2nd time with nothing but praise the lady who cut both my son and I is a true treasure she is a native Texan and we had a long conversation about small town America. read more

Great, friendly place to get a haircut. I was visiting from the Bay Area and needed a haircut before returning home to attend a business meeting. I read some positive reviews about the Northwest Barber Shop and decided to give it a try. I walked in and was invited to sit down right away. Rocky cut my hair, and I have to say the cut was every bit as good as the haircuts I get from the barber I have used for the past 25 years. Rocky is personable and just such a regular guy that you feel right at home in the Northwest Barber Shop. If you're looking for a traditional barber shop with a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place. read more

Always great customer service and flawless haircuts every time. Wait times are never bad

I met Rocky a couple months ago. GREAT guy! he's a Marine, I'm Air Force, so being a veteran is a plus for me. I have worn a military flattop haircut for over 40 years, and as you can believe, finding barbers nowadays that can do that cut properly, is like pulling teeth. He does it perfectly, with attention to detail. He's got a great gift of conversation and humor. I highly recommend this barber shop, and ROCKY. read more

The best thing about this place is location, location, location! Getting a quality fade is pretty hard to obtain in Rosedale and getting one used to necessitate a drive to the East Side or the South Side. Luckily the fellas at Northwest Barber Shop cut some pretty good hair. I hate long waits, so I go between Tuesday and Thursday and have Art cut my hair. Most conversations in the barber shop involve sports, so if you wanna chime in, be sure that you know your stuff! All haircuts come with a a straight razor neck shave and a brief massage; a definite plus in my book. FYI the credit card machine has been down for a while, so bring cash! read more

Took my son in for a fresh look. Great job, clean place and respectful staff. Prices are reasonable too.

Great place to go to for the Barber Shop vibe!!! Good guys, welcoming and fun environment. Rock and Jimmy are great. Newly remodeled and the lines are never too long. Get in there and get lined up! read more

Went in last-minute on a Friday evening for a touch-up and beard trim for the weekend. Shon sat me quickly after walking in, was super happy with the end result. Will be returning again, she was great and the shop overall looked clean and well taken care of. Shop location is in the deep corner of the shopping center and easy to miss, so keep an eye for it. read more

Called to make an appointment at the place and the guy confirmed - I showed up and the place was locked- not cool.

This is long over due, but totally not forgotten. Its rare that I stop in Bakersfield, but the time I did, I had to get a haircut for military duty and stopped at Northwest Barber Shop, this place is awesome with great personalities of barbers, with outstanding haircuts. Stop by and get on Rocky Escobedo's line. Its clean and perfect, help these guys by visiting them. They are veterans, and a matter of fact this Marine was in the same unit I was at the same time in Camp Pendleton, but never met each other till now. Support your veterans, support your fellow devil dogs. Semper Fi. read more

Out of all the barber shops in Bakersfield, I think this one is the worst. I had asked for a trim on the top and a mid fade around and I got practically my whole head shaved off. I didn't even see a fade or a line up. And they still had me pay $16 for a haircut I didn't want. Now I have to wait for my hair to grow back. Never again will I go to this barber. God speed to whoever goes here. read more

I've been going to this barber shop for about six months now. I like the personal service you get. Feels like your one of the buddies. Jimmy does my hair and always takes time to make sure it's perfect. read more

I have going to Northwest barber shop since about a month after they opened so for about 7 years .. I have gotten to know Rocky on a professional and personal level, as well as pretty much every barber there. There all very well trained and very good at what they do. Every now and then I will be in a pinch short on money and Rocky is always happy to clean me up and let me catch him next time around. To me that's huge and I very appreciative of that.. so if you want a fresh cut , and want to go where you feel like your at home , stop by and say hello to the guys and gal there. It's not just a haircut it's an experience. read more

Recently moved from the San Fernando Valley and was looking for a good Barber. I asked around and ws told to check this place out. Definetly a great location for men that are not easily offended by casual conversation. Thank you guys for having this place where I can be myself. read more

Rocky has been cutting my hair for about 3 years. I get a buzz cut all over and it's always cut evenly all over my head. He also uses a razor to trim around your ears and the nape of your neck. Rocky is a former Marine, "thanks" for your service Rocky !!! read more

A great haircut...check, a great bit of conversation...check, a relaxing experience...check, quick service...check. Will definitely go again, well worth the money. read more

Barber didn't give me a solid cut; blend/fade was uneven. Had to go home and clean it up myself. Plus he used some talcum powder that smelled awful. Had to wash it off immediately afterwards. read more

The worst haircut I've ever gotten, messed up the entire thing. Never really spoke to me about what I wanted and the whole place smells bad. Even a freakin' greatclips is better than these guys. Don't waste your money. read more

I've only been in twice but I can say that I don't think I'll ever go to another place to get my haircut while I live in Bakersfield.

I am new to the area and was looking for a barber and stylist to maintain my hair. I call Northwest and spoke to the woman that answered the phone. I introduced myself and asked whom I was speaking with. The woman identified herself as Veronica. I told Veronica that I had a little longer hair, how I like my hair cut and what my expectations are. She stated that she has experience in styling longer hair and urged me to come to the barber shop. Shortly after our conversation I appeared at Northwest Barber shop. Upon entering, a woman asked if I was the one whom just called? I said, "I was!" I took a seat in the waiting area and when it was my turn I was seated I stepped up to the barber chair. I explained how I wanted my hair and I know my hair well, so please don't cut it the way you want, however the way I describe. I told her that I have cow-licks and asked her to taper in the back a little bit and the length of my bangs were fine the way they were and the the sides of my hair is Not to be cut short and cover the tops of my ears. That's pretty descriptive, "RIGHT?" Veronica went on to tell me that for many years she had styled woman's hair, but she switched to cutting men's hair. So she breaks out the clippers and right away I was skeptical of what was going to happen. She shaves the back of my hair with a #1 and I stated "NOBODY had used clippers on my hair in over 25 years!" Only scissors! Veronica cuts the upper sides of my hair with a #3 and when Veronica was close to what she called finished, she asked me if, "that was short enough?" I told her I had now idea, that she never handed me a mirror or turned me around towards the mirror on the wall, not even one time! When I looked in the mirror I was shocked! She ended up giving me a FADE cut of all things! I'm pissed! I paid her $25 and left. I was irritated about my experience all last night and I wanted to share this horrible experience with you today. I wish I would had never paid her... period! My hair looks like a kid cut it. It stands up, won't lay down and I look scalped on the sides and the back! I realize that there are other barbers that work out of the Northwest location and they can not me held responsible for Veronica's actions, however, I would never recommend this barber. I am venting here even though I know my hair will eventually grow in the future. (LIKE IN THREE MONTHS!) read more

Best barber shop in town. All of their barbers do a great job! And they also make appointments.

The cut was pretty good, however, the barbers use profanity. I heard the f*** word about 4 or 5 times. Beware if you have kids. Not hating, just an FYI of the atmosphere. read more

The owner is super friendly, we've gotten great haircuts every time. If you are looking for a barber, this is the PLACE!

There is nothing to tell you who's next and the barber messed up my hair cut I told him I wanted a number 2 on sides and back high fade with only 2" left on top when he was done it looks like I have a short flat top he told me that he cut alittle shorter then I asked. Never going back read more

While the haircut may have been decent, this shop failed to keep sanitary razors and tools and I ended up getting bacterial folliculitis which itched and burned like no other. Needless to say, I will never come back here and the subsequent trips that I had to take to the dermatologist to clear up their mess were more enjoyable than this. read more

Soon as I walked in was greeted with a kool welcome , shop was really clean, had 3 or 4 barbers on duty, friendly atmosphere, was really pleased with my haircut, Its a little far from where I live but well worth the trip. Did have one complaint . I think the owners are raider fans. Lol just kidding. I highly recommend that barber shop. read more
