Called in to see if they had availability, they said they did and just come in as a walk in appointment. Perfect. Easy to get in... I just needed a trim up as I was only about 3 weeks out from a cut and had family pictures later that day. The barber and I discussed what I was looking for- I asked for a clean up all around not a haircut and I specifically said I did not want to be shaved down to skin around the ears/sideburns or in anyway like the standard fade (if that's you, cool... not my style). I also asked for my hairline to be squared up in the back but not to just cut it up because that's how rookies deal with tough necklines... What's the first thing done? Cuts my neckline in a random place squared up- almost by an inch from my normal neckline. I couldn't tell because I was facing away from the mirror.... But when you're told, they understand, you trust them. Then he proceeds to dive into my sideburns and beard and completely takes me to almost skin on the sides...I ask him to turn me around to look at my beard and it's completely wrong- all the way to the skin, my sideburns gone all the way up into my hairline... I'm like, "dude, I said don't go to the skin..."and his response "yeah, my bad I took it too low..." This coming from a guy that was a "teacher" at barber school? I see the other barber look over, like he's heard this reaction before. At this point, I've had enough, I get up, I give the guy a $20 because everyone's time has a value and I walk out... read more

Anthony did an excellent job cutting my son's hair. My son has a very unique style, and Anthony took the time to be patient, listen carefully, and pay attention to every detail. The end result was exactly what my son wanted, and he couldn't be happier. I truly appreciate the care and skill Anthony showed--highly recommend him! This is the review my son wanted me to add: "Anthony is G.O.A.T.ed" read more

Got a walk-in haircut from Gus. I could tell he was a little newer and he took his time. He has a super steady hand and is confident and took my ideas of what I wanted into account. Great attitude and was focused. Came out looking way cleaner and I would recommend him to anyone in the area. Thanks Gus! I'm only not doing 5 stars because I had to ask for some alterations. He's developing his eye but it was solid read more

They do not understand how to do a mid taper fade cut for the fkn life of me like did yall even go to barber school??? But am I surprised , typical result from a Temecula barber smh read more

Your response here is just more lip service. You publicly offered me a refund just like my Google review, but never actually followed through... just like you promised better service "next time" while insulting me by calling my review "drama-queenish"... extremely professional from a business owner. The facts are simple: I gave very clear instructions, and your barber ignored them. My haircut, beard, and even my mustache (which I never asked to be touched) were botched. I had to pay another barber immediately after just to fix what they could. That is not a small mistake, that's a complete failure to deliver the basic service I paid for. Your "apology" means nothing when you don't back it up with action, and your attempt to spin this as my exaggeration instead of your shop's mistake just proves my point. If you actually respected your customers, you wouldn't treat valid complaints with excuses and broken promises. read more

I have taken all three of my boys here and each time it has been fantastic. The barbers, Rico, Cam, and Ant listened to the boys, took their time and made sure everyone was pleased before we left. Some other barbers hurry you in and out, just checking names off the list and moving on, for this same price, not at this place- they are precise! Go see them and their cool, modern space- you can even watch them game on a Sunday! :) read more

I've been coming to this barbershop for about six years now, ever since middle school. All the barbers here are incredibly talented--no matter who you go to, you'll leave more than satisfied. Lately, I've been getting my cuts from Nico. He's fairly new to the shop, originally from San Diego, and he's never let me down. He even recommended a completely different haircut for me, which has now become my personal favorite style. The vibe here is unmatched--love catching football games while getting a cut. Hands down the best barbershop in Temecula. read more

My go to spot for a fade in Temecula!! Very clean barbershop and they always do a great job. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!!

Just came here for the first time and I just want to say that everyone here was amazing. Anthony faded me up...super clean!!! Lanz was awesome to chop it up with. Can't wait to go back...ty guys!!! read more

I asked for a texture fringe and I got a a bowl cut. It was a good just not what I asked for.

After a really long day I went into get a straight razor and Anthony ROCKS!!! Between the hot towel and finally having a shaped goatee I was a fantastic first visit. read more

Huge shout out to Leo for always getting me dialed in with a fresh cut!! Moving from SD a few months ago, I was very hesitant on finding a local barber because I know it could be about trial and errors. In this case I didn't have to go through that thankfully! After thorough research, I was fortunate enough to come across The Alley Barber as the first local barber to try, and the results have me coming back for regular visits now. The picture I attached speaks for itself. I believe all barbers here are also vetted, so I am sure you'll receive quality cuts from anyone here either way. Thank you again The Alley Barber for reasonable pricing and convenient location. Also Thanks again Leo for quality haircuts and always taking your time to meet the needs and expectations of your clients. 10/10 Highly Recommend read more

The Alley Barber - The Alley. Stay Fresh, Stay Handsome. - Barbers Near Me - Temecula, California

When it comes to barbershops, let alone someone cutting my hair I am very very picky. Jonathon has been cutting my hair for almost 2 years. I get my fresh cut every week and that should tell you enough. Jonathon is supppppper chilll, fades up really good, and is personal-able. The over all vibes of the shop are good and I have zero complaints. On numerous occasions Jonathon has squeezed me in last minute. Let's put it this way if my friends or family asked me for a barber I would send them Jonathon's way! read more

In town for a soccer tournament and stopped by. Jonathon was great - very detailed, much appreciated.

My nephew needed a haircut, and I was tasked with taking him last minute. It was a Sunday, so I knew most places would be busy, have a long wait or not have time to fit me in. I didn't wanna spend much time waiting around so I called first. I was told there wasn't a wait, so I hurried up and headed there. We walked up to the barber, tucked in an alley, with no one waiting. The place was clean, had big tv's with the football game on, chairs and couches for waiting and 2 people already getting their hair cut. One guy was posted at the front desk and said he was ready and asked what I wanted. I showed him a few pictures and he said it was $15. I thought that was a good price and I let him get started. The guy was professional and was good with my nephew. I wasn't sure how long my nephew would sit still, but he did and the barber adjusted to his movement. Even with him moving around and touching his neck a lot, the barber was patient and did an awesome job. When he finished he asked if I liked it, and if I wanted anything else done. But I like it as is, and was satisfied. My nephew came in looking like a kid, and left looking like a little man. Everyone liked the haircut, and it was a success! Good spot, good barbers, and reasonable prices. read more

The Alley Barber - Nice clean cut $15 - Barbers Near Me - Temecula, California

I'm so glad we stopped here! They have a new regular customer. My son needed his hair cut and I happen upon this shop completely by accident. Jonathan helped us and, even though we were a walk-in and they were booked, he fit us in. However, he didn't just fit us in, he took the time to make sure my sons hair looked great. Thanks so much. Your service and art are superior! read more

My son Matthew will go to no one but to this place and with his girl Heaven. She is always nice to us and very professional. Haircut is always clean and she takes her time. I have to add that my son is mild autistic. Heaven has a lot of patience Shop is always clean and everyone is always so kind. read more

Thank you Alley Barber and Jonathan for being our best barber this past year. 5 Stars! read more

The Alley Barber - 5 Stars for Jonathan! - Barbers Near Me - Temecula, California

This place is awesome, very chill environment. Jesse's experience really shows in his craft, you won't be disappointed!

Just booked an appointment online and got the haircut same day. Super smooth and excellent work by the barber Jesse. Definitely will visit again when I need my next haircut read more

Highly recommended barber shop. Every one of them really taking their time to make sure you got your hair cut they way you want it. They're not rushing and they're very polite and professional. Jonathan cut my hair and I'm very pleased with the result. I've been to a few places before and they sounded like they understood how I wanted but the result was different. But Jonathan got it. Thank you. read more

I hate writing bad reviews but this warrants one. I've been looking for a barbershop in the area that can do a good fade and this is far from it. The woman who cut my hair took 40 minutes and it looks terrible. I usually know when people mess up my hair when they use a comb to fade. read more

Great place to get a haircut! Very cool vibe and Ronaldo is the best. Never gotten a bad haircut from anyone there-- they vet the Barbers they rent chairs to, so you know you're going to get a good haircut from whoever worked there. I work in healthcare with covid patients and they are always understanding about me wearing a mask for everyone's protection. Never gotten any flack and they can cut your hair while you wear it. Plus, they recently put in an online appointment system which has made my life a thousand times easier. Was able to book a haircut a month out right before an important wedding with no problems, and now I can book my haircuts in advance to make sure I can fit it in with my hectic schedule. As soon as I walk in, I'm in the chair. My go to babershop! read more

Super cool barbershop. They take amazing care of my sons hair. Excellent service. Extremely personable.

I am relatively new to the area and found this shop on Yelp. I was able to make an appointment for the same day with Heaven. She was awesome! I had a undercut that was a little different, but she took her time and made sure it was exactly what I was looking for. She was also so sweet and friendly. The shop has a good vibe and super clean and nice. I will absolutely be back every month. read more

Rolando did a great job cutting my 11 year olds hair. Fresh and clean. I highly recommend you try then out. Make sure you book an appointment or else you won't be able to be seen. read more

All day son! I have had three different job interviews within the past 3 years and got taken care of each time here at the Alley. Got all three jobs too! Lol. These guys and gals are on point everyday all day! They have a chill set up for waiting. Wait times are usually 10-30minutes long depending on availability. I think they also allow for appointments. The closet barber that even comes close has a 45min-hour and a half wait time. They offer military discounts, but the usual price is $20/ gentleman's cut. I usually tip $5-10. They are that good. I don't mind paying for a quality cut. Nothing like going to a job interview looking fresh and sharp! Also when I bring my girls with me there is a play area for my baby girls. So I can totally relax and enjoy the cut! Good job guys! read more

How you gonna be open at 9am and only have one barber there? Appointments only lol what? You guys don't like money? Not only that the guy working was not welcoming at all, I get the appointment thing but when I ask if you have any openings and your response is here's our card, get the F outta here with that weak customer service..... there's way better spots in town with better customer service and that actually want to cut hair. What ever happened to being able to walk in to a spot and get a cut? After I left here I found another spot, appointment only but this time the guy was like well I have an opening at this time I can cut you, it's as simple as that guys. Would not recommend going here, plenty other spot to get a cut at. Honestly if I was the owner of this spot I'd be pisst, the guy cutting told me this.... yeah I don't know where everyone else is we all kinda do our own thing lol if that's the case don't have hours of operation up. read more

***UPDATE*** I've been coming to the Alley for almost three years now. Never missed an appointment. Apparently they've had an issue with people missing their appointments. So, because of this, they've decided to charge an extra $5 for anyone that makes an appointment. Needless to say, I will no longer be getting my haircut at the Alley. I wish them nothing but success but I cannot support such a senseless policy that adversely effects some of your most loyal clients. Sorry Ronnie.... Dude... If you're looking for great haircut, good conversation, good environment then this is your place. I'm in the Marines so I have to get my haircut every week. Needless to say, after 14 years I've seen my fair share of barber shops. This is one of the nicest shops I've been in. Well appointed exterior, nice interior furniture, well lit, etc. Immediately upon walking in I was greeted by "Ever." He stood right up and took me to his chair. It was a slow Sunday he said so there was no wait. He asked me what I had in mind and listened intently as I explained how I liked my hair. Once that was done he got to clipping. As I said before, I've gotten many haircuts in my life. After getting my head shaped so many times you start to know how people cut and whether or not it was going to be a good cut. Right off the bat I knew this guy was good. He took his time and worked like a professional. I felt him take it a little too low in the back so I let him know and he went a little higher. We talked about life and where we've been and seen. He was a good guy through the whole thing. He finished off with a nice straight-razor shave along the edges to clean me up, washed the residual cream off, blew the clippings and showed me his work. There was one thing I wanted cleaned up and he fixed it right away, no questions asked. This will be my weekly spot from now on. I'm more than happy to give them five stars. They earned every one. read more

So let's keep this simple the Alley Barber shop is the best spot in Temecula it's the type of place where all the barbers know you even if they don't cut your hair and has the cleanest cuts and extremely professional and has the old school vibe but fresh cuts especially from Jose @life_of_a_misfit on instagram and Ronnie read more

Self-love is necessary for long term happiness. No better place to pamper yourself than The Alley Barber in Temecula. Great vibe! Very Friendly! No wait. The stylists obviously love what they do. They are upbeat, enraging and professional! Make you feel like a customer not a number. The best part was not being asked "would you like a #4 on the sides?" I showed them a picture, and vualá, I got exactly what I asked for. Make sure you look for the barber shop sign when you turn into the parking lot at the entrance, or you can slide right by. The actual entrance is behind the main row of buildings facing Margarita. Parking lot is a bit snug, but well worth the effort. Thanks for a great first-time experience. I'll definitely be back, and will bring my boys with me next time. read more

This is my first time bringing my son into The Alley Barber. Carlos did an amazing job giving my son a taper, and trimming and lining up the top and sides. He took his time and it was obvious he really cared about his craft. We will definitely be back. So happy we tried this shop today! Ask for Carlos, you won't be disappointed! read more

This barbershop is amazing. The guys there do a great job... when you go ask for Jonathan, Ronnie or Jose. Those guys are not only great barbers but they are very outgoing. You could go in there and chat about anything. I would highly recommend!! read more

The service and expertise I receive from Jonathon Bevell is top notch, and Im always satisfied. He has been cutting my hair and trimming my beard for over 2 years now. Its hard to find a decent barber in the area who consistently comes though, and this man never disappoints. I recommend anyone I know to him. read more

I've never had problems here until now but if you want your kids or husband's hair messed up go here and see Sam. Not only did she buzz it but its not even on top,, messed up lengths, and longer on one side with it chopped on the other. My son had hair almost too his shoulders and she buzzed it when he told her to leave 4in on top and a little shorter all around. Worst haircut ever. The guys that have previously cut my kids hair did a good job though so I'd still recommend them and I did get my money back but unfortunately we won't be using this barber shop again. read more
