Went to take my son for a much needed and much wanted haircut for his birthday coming up. I was…read morecalling around, to different places while driving in the AC of my car. We ended up in Monrovia from south El Monte. (Grew up in the Duarte area) Anyways as I'm searching on the maps and looking at the stars on businesses, I found Casey's barbershop with a higher start rating. I pass by see the sign "walk ins welcome" also it's cash only FYI. After walking in i see why you guys have a good rating. Right off the back the old school barbershop vibe was amazing. We had Gary help us out, he was finishing up a client, my son liked the guys cut and said that's what he wanted. Gary did exactly what he wanted, when i tell you the smile he had when he saw one side of his cut done already while Gary worked on the other side is worth it. My son had a bunch of hair on him he hates the short buzz cuts but really wanted a cool refreshing cut. Gary you'll be seeing more of Zeke he has named you the guy for his cuts now.

I reached out to Douglas at High Rising Barbershop through Yelp on a Saturday evening and he got…read moreback to me super quick. He sent me a link to book an appointment, which was easy enough--only downside was having to download an app and make an account. Once you're signed in though, the booking process is smooth and straightforward. A standard haircut is $50, but there's a first-time customer special for $40, which is a nice touch. When my appointment came, I met Douglas--super chill guy with a private setup inside a salon. I asked for his recommendation, and he just went to work. I was honestly so happy with the results. Usually I leave a barbershop feeling "eh" about my haircut, but this time was different. I walked out feeling like a million bucks, and my wife noticed right away and loved it too. I'll definitely be coming back regularly and highly recommend Douglas if you're looking for a fresh cut and a great experience.

I've been getting my cuts from Douglas at High Rising Barbershop since September of last year, and…read morethe experience has been consistently outstanding. From the start, the shop's atmosphere has been welcoming and relaxed, and Douglas's professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. Every cut is sharp, clean, and tailored exactly how I like it--he really listens and delivers every time. Whether I'm sticking to my usual style or switching things up, I always leave feeling confident and fresh. Douglas has definitely earned my trust, and I couldn't recommend him or High Rising Barbershop more highly.

I got there at 3 on a Friday afternoon. From the outside the covered windows left me wondering if…read morethe place was still in business, let alone open. But I needed a haircut and the place got good reviews on Yelp, so I opened the door. What a difference, a world of difference. Inside the long, narrow space, freshly painted and filled with music and chatter were a half dozen or so barber chairs, each manned by a young barber meticulously focused on his customer. A dozen regular chairs against the wall were filled by young guys getting ready for the heart of Saturday night, seated next to fathers with their kids, all waiting patiently for the great transformation. On the surface I didn't fit it. But after sitting there for 10 minutes, surrounded by a vibe powered by friendship, laughter, Spanish language music videos and skilled technicians transforming customers into who they wanted to be, I couldn't have been more comfortable. When it was my turn a friendly fellow named Angel listened carefully to what I wanted, then with skill and precision executed it to a tee. I'm a senior so much to my (pleasant) surprise my bill was $20. $20? You're kidding. $20! It was a pleasure, on multiple levels, to leave a generous tip and look forward to coming back.

A Whole New Son - Beyond Expectations!…read more We walked in just looking for an estimate -- we walked out with a whole new child. Seriously, I don't know what kind of magic this place is working, but our son went in a little hesitant and shaggy, and came out looking (and feeling!) like a brand-new person. From the moment we stepped in, the staff made him feel comfortable, excited, and even a little proud to be getting his first real haircut. They talked to him directly, asked what he wanted, and gave him a mirror to check out his look -- the empowerment was real. The cut? Impeccable. Clean lines, soft blends, and somehow they captured his personality in a hairstyle. He left smiling like he just landed a lead role in a kids' movie. We came in for a price check and ended up with a core memory. Could not recommend this place more for anyone taking their child in for a first haircut. It's not just a haircut -- it's a full-on milestone moment, and these folks get it.
