When my buddy and I moved out to Northridge we were lacking a barber. We were planning to go shop to shop and find the place that was for us. We hit a one and DONE. Now my buddy and I go here every time and with the same people. But all of the barbers in here are just fire. My barber is Marisol, legit the best female barber, ever. Mari always cracks open a cold one for me and strikes up some awesome conversations, my friends barber Chris, is the exact same. I love the banter between these barbers here and it gives you that home barber feel without feeling like shit the minute you walk in for not knowing the crowd or the barber. They slid us right into the conversations. Now I plan out my visits to make sure I have time to sit and chill before rushing in and out to just get a haircut. This places prices are pretty reasonable and PLEASE tip your barber--this is their livelihood. There are some weeks I can tip better than others, but they take care of you, you should return the service! Mari and Chris are especially good at what they do but the other folks in there look just as slick. I'll be coming here until I move and even then--I'd be down to make a drive to get my cut by Mari. read more

I originally made an appointment with Mari in which she had to cancel but she had Miguel fill in for her and he did an amazing job. My son loves it, feels good and is ready for school with his fresh, new hair cut :) I was a bit shocked at the price $35 for a kids hair cut is more than I've ever spent before, the most I've spent being about $27 at other places so that was the only downfall about the experience. Everything else was great! Thank you! read more

Found this place on Yelp and man I'm glad. My son was past due for a cut and I believe the barbers name is "Marquez", he was super nice and extremely talented! Next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back. I knocked off 1 star the shop doesn't make appointments only walk-ins. Not very convenient if your busy mom. Hair cut $20 cash only! read more

You know the difference between a corporate chain like Super Cuts and a barbershop like Ríos Barber shop 3? With corporate, you may save a few bucks, but with Ríos you get a good haircut and a good conversation. Sports, politics, food, yelp reviews, you name it...we've talked about it. These guys know how to shoot the shit. If I had more hair, I'd probably come more often. Just a pro tip: don't piss off your barber while he's cutting your hair, his hand might get a little shaky. Just kidding. read more

I've been going to Poncho for my cut and am now a regular. He always goes above and beyond and takes his time never rushes. I showed Poncho a picture of a undercut haircut I wanted and he did the same exact haircut down to a tee. I've been to other barbershops where I showed them the picture and they just did their own thing. This is not the case here. I've been getting a lot of compliments on my haircut since coming to Rios Barbershop. Poncho also recommended some really great volume so my hair doesn't look flat and was nice enough to show me last week how to work the volume into the hairstyle with the blowdryer while combing it. Loving the job Poncho does and I always walk away with a great haircut. read more

Got a good cut here the first time around. Cash only. Came back for a second cut a month later. It just seemed like everyone who came through the door knew the barbers. No sign in sheet as others have mentioned. No one greets you. Seemed like most patrons entered and proceeded to greet their particular barber and wait for that barber. The cuts were good, but 1 star off for each cut taking ~40min, and having to wait that amount of time, another star off for only cash + no clear order to who's next. read more

Nubia is amazing!! She's been cutting my sons hair for over two months. She makes my son feel so safe when cutting his hair. She is super patient and sweet with him. I drive 15 miles to see her now. She is worth all the traffic in LA. I've attached two pictures for your reference. Thank you so much!! We will see you in two weeks. read more

My barber Oscar moved here and this location is much more convenient for me. Nice place - clean, relaxed and friendly. Sports on the overhead TVs. Near CSUN. Small parking lot but I was easily able to find parking right in front. I expect to be back read more

I been coming here for the past 3 months, was recommend by friend, I am happy I made the switch! Profesional, attention to detail and customer satisfaction is there priority! On point with there fades and tapers. I highly recommend my barber Marquez! He is detail oriented, takes his time to ensure you leave feeling your best, but most important looking on point! But you can't go wrong they are all professionals and ensure the customer is satisfied! Great environment! They make you feel welcome and right at home! Check them out! read more

I found this place for my brother since he's been struggling to find a barber due to his previous guy retiring and selling his business. His first visit was great. Fair price, and a job well done. He was excited and thought he found his spot! He went back 4-5 more times but recently told me about a problem that seemed to get worst with every visit. Guy after guy would just walk into the shop, give the barber props or a little handshake then he'd skip him ahead of everyone who was already waiting. When my brother asked what was up the barber would state "They had an appointment". My brother then asked if he could book an appointment for his next cut, the barber said "Yeah". He later called to schedule an appointment only to be told "Sorry, we dont do appointments". So basically they straight up lied to him. My brother isn't the type to argue or "Speak to the manager". He just realized this place doesn't appreciate his business and would prefer to move on. After reading a few reviews it seems to be an ongoing issue here that hasn't been fixed and sadly probably won't be. read more

Nice !! Chris did a awesome job on my son ..our new place .. his hair is so fresh and so clean!! read more

Oscar definitely knows how to get down with the taper. My Barber of 16 years left the country a few months back and I've been on a mission trying to find a new barber. I've tried a few spots in the valley and damn did i miss my old barber, luckily I saw a few pics of Oscar's work on yelp and decided to hit him up. My first time walking in the shop everyone was welcoming and all smiles i sat down in the chair and expressed my frustrations with my experiences I've had in the past few month and Oscar promised me he will try his best to make sure i become a regular client. The first cut took about an hour but that was only because he knew i was picky and made sure i was happy with every step he took. My second time here it only took about 30 mins but it looked just as good as my first cut did, if not better and he definitely pays attention to details. If you're looking for a new barber or have doubts about your current barber, hit up Oscar! read more

No sign in sheet . You have to pay attention when it's your turn. Then get ready to argue with other customers on who was there first. Barbers pay no attention to who is next.. they were like you guys figure it out we don't remember who came in first.. after all the waiting we came out with nothing special..$20 for cut read more

Oscar is by far the best barber In town! Tired of looking nappy with your wack ass haircut? Hit Oscar up ASAP. He'll fix you up and have you looking fresh! I recommend him 110% read more

I heard about Rios from the company I buy my beard products from. I needed a first trim/shaping on my new beard, so I decided to try them. The shop is in a small strip mall and if you didn't know it was there, it would be very easy to miss. Inside is clean and there is plenty of seating while you wait for a barber. When I went, there were 3 barbers working and it took only about 15 minutes until my turn. The barber I got worked with me to get the exact cut I wanted for my beard. He made sure to check with me before cutting more to be sure that's what I wanted. When he was finished, I had exactly the shape I was after. The only reason for a 4. star rating was the mis-information on their price board. According to the board, a beard trim was $10. What was actually charged was $15. While that's still reasonable, a customer seeing the price board could get upset and not come back just because of that. Would I recommend them for someone needing their beard trimmed? Yes, I would. When it's time for another trim, I won't have any problem coming back again. read more

I've been getting a haircut from Miguel for over 20 years. I started getting a haircut with Miguel when he first started as a barber in the early 90's. I moved out of The Valley for several years and moved back in 2011. When I moved back to the area, I couldn't find a decent barber. They'd always mess up my hair. Coincidently, I found Rio's a few blocks from my house. When I walked in, I was surprised and happy to see this place was owned by Miguel. I've been coming here since then on a weekly basis. All of his barbers are great, funny and down to earth! Miguel, Mari, Kris and Poncho have always done a great job. I started taking my two boys and they do a fantastic job with their hair. I highly recommend this place! read more

Very rude and doesn't respect customers. Never coming here again. Barbers rushed me to go w/ another barber instead of my main barber who I prefer. read more

I've been going to Rio's for 7 years now. He's been the absolute best barber I have ever worked with. The environment is fun all the employees enjoy working there and like to have fun. It truly is a pleasant experience for guys who just want a good hair cut and good laugh. read more

Go to el chino. Been going there for years. If you speak fluent Spanish you are going to enjoy bullshitting with the guys there. Don't worry they speak English just fine. They always have a good roster of barbers. I'm happy with my cuts there. Don't be a cheap ass either , you better tip your barber. If you can't tip then stay home . read more

Ask for Marisol! Haven't had a fade this good in a while! Been to a bunch of places in the valley and they amber came out this good.

Caution do not go into this place unless you have 2 hours to spare while you sit and watch people come in after you and get rushed into a chair. Everybody is just talking and drinking beer no list or real order of operation more of a friends hang out spot than a real business so if your not a friend then they don't want your business. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else. read more

My husband comes here from Palmdale every week. He only lets Marisol cut his hair and he always comes out looking fresh. People here are always friendly. read more

Great service at a great price. I tried this shop based on Yelp reviews. I'll be coming again (next time, with my two sons). Marisol is the barber that cut my hair and she did an incredible job. I highly recommend this place. read more

personally i love the cuts they give and the people here, but I do not like the waiting system, as I never know when I am next and who intends on giving me my cut. If they could fix this system, they would be the best barbershop in town. A sign-in Sheet would help greatly. read more

Highly recommend this place! Tried a couple places around the area and most didn't know how to do a simple taper fade. Miguel @ Marisol are great at what they do. Professional & Accommodating. read more

My 7 year old has been getting haircuts by Miguel since he was 2! he loves Miguel! Gio has been a loyal and regular customer for 5 years. Miguel takes his time and cuts his hair as he was one of the men. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Everyone in the barbershop is very nice and professional! read more

Been with these guys for a long time. I never leave unhappy and always have a good time while I wait my turn. Sometimes the wait time is a bit long but that just means people know this is the place to get a haircut. read more
