I don't really know what's going on with this place other than everytime I have been by here to get a cut, it's totally empty. Despite the sign that says "Walk ins Welcome", I have been by here on more than a few occasions to get a haircut, however, there has never been anyone there during "open hours" and the place is locked tight and the lights are out. No signs posted to explain why. Very frustrating. I recommend calling in advance to verify that they are indeed open before taking the trip there. read more

Immediately I got the classic barbershop feel walking into Tony's. Football on the TV in the corner, and casual conversation between both the barber and his customer. Talking about everything from last nights game, to the dogs, to the family. It was a very welcoming experience to say the least. I usually buzz my own hair or get one of the presets at Supercuts, but with a nice shop in a very nice location, I had to try the proper barber experience. I expected the price to be a little higher considering the cost of everything around Montrose is more expensive, but his prices were competitive. I definitely got my money's worth and I will be back in the future for any hair related needs. read more

I really wish I didn't have to leave a rating, since I think my experience might be a fluke, but here is my word of warning. Today, being that most expectationy of holidays, I decided to get some extra special manscaping in the form of a straight edged shave. I've heard my friends rave about the experience before: oh, how smooth it leaves your skin even in the face of the the most ornery of untamed follicles, oh, how classy the whole experience, and how oh so manly. I was into it. When I got called up, I played the intro to Madmen in my head, leaned back, and let the maestro conduct with his straight-edged baton. At first, it met all my expectations. chair leaned back, check; warmed foam lathered all over my facicle, check; even warmer (borderline hot) towel placed strategically on my face, opening all them stubborn pores, check. Cue the troubles. 1. The actual shaving seemed to drag on for a hair (heh) too long. Now, to be fair, I've never had this kind of shave before, so my frame of reference may be skewed. But 20 minutes seems a bit excessive (not counting the prep and the post-shave time). George, the owner, was not the one taking care of me and I suspect the other fellow was less experienced with a straight edge. 2. My facial hair pattern looks like something the Doppler 9000 spat out, hairs twisting out in every which direction. That said, my neck was feeling exceptionally raw by the end of it. But maybe that's just the way it goes. Again, I have a weak frame of reference on this. 3. Frame of reference or not, the worst part was he missed some significant spots! Under the nose and at the corner of my mouth! For those who have missed this area and found themselves tonguing it in shame, you know the exasperating feeling. I only really noticed when I got home after running the other errands of the day, or else I would have asked him to clean it up. I'm no perfectionist...lord knows I miss a patch or two when I'm shaving myself. But that's exactly why I went to a professional. At $35 a pop, I definitely expected a bit more. TL;DR: pro-tip: when getting a straight edge shave, wait for George. read more

Tony's Barber Shop - ONE OF THE BEST BARBERS, JOE. - Barbers Near Me - Montrose, California

I had never had a traditional straight razor shave before, and as part of a personal tradition of doing new things on my birthday each year, I said "what the heck". Since Tonys is close to home, I scoped him out and asked around, and got several good recommendations, as well as the Yelp reviews. George the owner did my shave himself, and walked me through this since I was a newbie to the traditional shave process. At each step he explained things, even that since my face was a straight razor virgin, that I would experience some chafing, which was true but not objectionable. The shave itself is unlike anything else-usually I am scratchy by 5 PM, but this day I still had smooth face until bedtime. Incredible! George is a great guy, quiet and polite, very professional. The shop is very manly and old school, a great old-fashioned island of manhood. The shave was just incredible! With the hot towels (not too hot) and the whole process, it is like getting a "mansage" of the face. I was so relaxed afterwards, it is hard to explain. Not something I would ever do frequently, but will do so the next time I really feel like pampering myself on a day off. read more

Imitation is the best form of flattery they say. Well, a friend of mine told me when he went to get his hair cut, he showed him a pic of me. Tony's is where I got it cut and I must be doing something right, so I've now been going there regularly. Great care with detail and a fair price. read more

How hard is it to post your hours of business somewhere in the universe? You don't have a website. Your hours aren't on yelp or google. Even your phone is answered by the "robot guy" ... It doesn't even say the name of your business. What year is it? I'm trying to give you money but you don't want to take it. read more

Unfortunately, Marco has retired, and no longer works here. The guy who still does just does buzz-cuts with clippers, and doesn't use scissors like Marco used to do. What a bummer, but the old guy definitely deserved to take it easy! read more

Although you can't make an appointment, the original owner Tony sold his business to the current barber a few years ago and it seems he continues to have a very steady and loyal customer base that doesn't mind waiting for a great cut. My son has bi-racial hair and he rocked a mohawk for a long time but I was looking for a traditional young man's haircut. Tony's delivered! It is a great little neighborhood traditional barber shop with one hairstylist. We drive from Pasadena to get his hair cut here and each and every time the cut is perfect. My son looks hip and handsome and for 25 bucks it is worth it. Highly recommend, but check the hours because they do close an hour earlier on Wednesdays. Kind of unusual, but that is just the way it is. Also they are closed Sundays and Mondays. Added bonus, Honolulu Ave has some great shops and restaurants for before or after your haircut. read more

This place is garbage. Every time I've gone in the guy there has a terrible attitude. I went back maybe 2 times because it's so convenient to get to from my house, but after today never again. The place is randomly closed so there is no consistency and when you do get in, the guy barely acknowledges you. Hopefully they close down asap and a good barber moves in. read more

Went in this barbershop for the first time ever and I really liked the way he did the job he is very friendly and honest with me I will always give him my business. Not only do I have to drive far to get a Barber to use a razor blade I am very satisfied the way he had cut my hair!! read more

Love this place...went as a kid so many times with my dad. Has a small town feel to it since everybody is talking about the newest sports scandal. I recommend Tony ! read more

I have to be honest and give 3 stars for the haircut which in itself was of a good quality. However to charge a $3 service charge for credit card transactions is crazy as it should be at most $1. Owning multiple business's myself the average charge for using a card to the owner is 2-2.5 percent and this guy has the nerve to ask for what equates to a 15 percent charge. He is pretty much penalizing you for paying with a card which is fine if he was just straight up about it and listed a cash price as opposed to one with a credit card payment. That in itself was a big turn off. However the cut was a quality one so there were some positives to my visit. I would recommend adding more barbers though as it's tough with wait times when only one guy is working read more

Been here twice now - both times when my regular barber is on vacation. Really good haircut with well mannered young barber. He is good with the clippers AND the straight razor. Uses after shave also. Unfortunately it's expensive at $20. Drop the price a little and I would go here more often. read more

This place is great...you want a good, old fashioned hair cut this is the place. Plus he uses the straight edge on the neck and for the part. read more
