My nationality is Puerto Rican... And I have a unique type of hair... My hair is curly but yet not kinky and yet not straight... I'm originally from Chicago and I really didn't have my regular Barber to go to... So one of my friends referred me two reds.. I was hesitant but yet ready to get my hair cut the way I like it and I was a little leery to let someone I do not know cut my hair.. but when I went in the barber was very friendly and said it would not be a problem at all... I left with complete satisfaction... My hair was better than I expected... I will definitely continue on going there and referring many of my friends to that barber.. the barbershop was small very clean... And when I got there they welcome to me with a smile... Thanks again red for all you did for a new client... I will be back..... read more

SHAREWORTHY CUTS!!! I came for a haircut, and received an experience. Red combines old school barbering with newer atmosphere and tools. We talked about issues relevant to our, shared, causes--without arguing! She had timeless decor too. The kind that spark ideas in conversation. One piece she had on the wall was "Everyday is a day to learn something new.". My hair is curly, wavy, and soft at the same time. Many shops can't cut it--pun intended. But, all I had to do was tell her what I wanted and she was able to do it! Red also shows real dedication to health, by wearing gloves while cutting hair. Red lined me up right, electrically shaved my beard, and had a cool (damp) towel for after the cut. read more

Reds is the spot! Reds been my barber for 7 years now. I have been getting my cuts from her just simply because she is the best! First and for most Red is REAL, And some people don't always like that but that's ok because in reality you can't always please everybody. she speaks her mind, she tells it like it is, which is refreshing! She could easily charge more for her cuts but she wants to provide quality cuts at a good price for her community. It's the barbershop, like you should want it to be! Not quite sure how u want the perfect cut, need a clean cut or just want to go to a real barbershop, go see Red and she'll take care of u! read more

I came across Red's on yelp a few months ago. I was looking for a good cut for an up and coming event at a hotel a work for. After skimming through a few reviews I was comfortable enough to check things out. From the time I sat in the chair to the minute I left, Everything I would want in a barber shop was there. Great conversation, laughs and a clean taper/line up. I have been back two additional times and each time feels more and more like I knew Red for many years. Red keep doing what your doing. As long as your there your my go to for my taper needs! read more

I moved to the Monterey area about 2 years ago and needed to find a new barber. I found Reds Barbering on google and decided to go in to get a haircut. Red was amazing!!!!! I can't recommend her enough! She is always very professional, quick, and does a stellar job. She does not over charge and always has time for walk ins, which is huge for people like me who don't have time to schedule a cut into my work schedule. If you are looking for a new barber go to Red, you won't be disappointed!!!Thank you Red for everything you do! read more

Went to get a sandwich at Mundo's last week, they were closed, but Red's, right across the way was open. Decided to get a clean up since I was there, I'd say I'm pretty particular but saw two guys walk out with fresh cuts and I was sold. Red did a great job, in the right place at the right time! I saw a notice in her shop that said "No children" under a certain age, lol I gotta say I ENJOYED not having to listen to uncooperative children and angry parents argue while I was in her shop. read more

If you're looking for someone who can cut African American hair in a place like monterey and do a good job (nearly impossible), this is THE spot to get it done. I've had a history of getting bad haircuts from my previous barbers. Red is the only one who not only knew what I wanted, but helped me see my vision become reality. If you're from out of town and need a safe bet, Red is the one you want. My only concern is knowing that this review will probably help make the wait time longer read more

Had a really great day and ended up catching the owner on a break in need of a nice hair cut and beard trim. I called her red. She let me enjoy her music videos on tv while i relaxed on her sofa in her upscale waiting room. Comon you ready with a smile she says and gestures me to come sit down. I told her thank you and 10 min later she says how do you like this cut. my new favorite place. Clean,fast,business oriented. This place rocks. Thank you trevor rains for the referral read more

I needed to cut my hair for a wedding, but couldn't find a barber shop that accepted walk ins. I found Reds and was told I could show up anytime after ten through four. I got there hopped in the chair and got a cut. Reds gave me a clean cut. Cut my hair like I liked it, even corrected a mistake from another barber. Reds is a koo spot, with a koo vibe, with a reasonable price. My wife even liked my cut. Another plus even had a koo little dog. Overall a good experience. read more

Best Haircut I Have Gotten In Years! I'm in the military and was just recently stationed out here in January and Red is the best. Amazing customer service. I have seen her work since I started coming here in March and she cuts the best in town! Walk-ins from 10am-3pm and after 3pm it's by appointment only. Trust me, you will not regret coming here ever. Oh, and she finishes the cut with a warm towel too! Wooo! 5 stars out of 5 stars! read more

I got a reccomendation from someone to go to Red.. My nephew needed his hair cut and we were skeptical because the last person that cut his hair did a HORRIBLE job.. Anyways.. We went in and she got right down to business. She is very nice and we kept talking until BAM his hair was done her work is very neat, lining and all. We will definitely be back! Shoutout to REDDDDDDDDDD! read more

Not sure why yelp decided to remove so many 5-star CURRENT reviews from this Barbershop? We have been coming here since Red opened in 2013 and enjoy the atmosphere and Red! Haircuts remain current and clean.... what more could you ask for if you're looking for a good cut? Mostly walk-ins but don't hesitate to call, Red does afternoon appointments too read more

She is an angel in disguised .. She is an artist what she does with the clippers is unbelievable.. I recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, read more

My husband went in after hearing about how clean and affordable this place was. Usually I do his cuts but our buzzer was broke so, he made the trip from Prunedale to check it out. He could not be happier when he got home, bragging about his fade to everyone. He will be returning when his hair grows out he wants to go back for the Jax Taylor lol read more

Was recommended by a coworker to check out Red's......not your typical barber, Red definitely exceeded my expectations! My cut was long overdue for an upgraded change, and that's exactly what I got. Really cool spot, great skills and convo....I'd recommend anyone to check her out if your looking for a good barber read more

I have been getting my haircut with Ms. Red for about 2 years now and i have always been happy with my haircut. I always recommend her to my close friends and they always keep going back to her. She can do from classic haircuts to side come over and tapper haircuts. Shes my go to barber for any occasion. read more

I've been coming to Reds for haircuts for the last 4 years and there's a reason I keep coming back; they're the best haircuts. I turn down getting my haircut by other people all the time because this is the best spot to get your haircut. If you're in the area, stop by and get a great haircut. read more

My Husband and I were looking for a good barber, one who actually knows what they're doing. We ended up finding a GREAT barber, Red. She took her time and knew exactly how to fade tight. She has a good attitude and easy to talk to. Go here, and you'll look no further for a great barber. read more
