Nick’s Barber Shop

Sign says ‘reg. cut 14.00′ There was nothing about a separate «long hair» price even though i see on Unilocal there is a photo of an older sign which lists that.
In any case I’m a guy and my hair was probably about one inch long, honestly. I had ‘long hair’ in no sense. She certainly didn’t tell me beforehand that I’d be paying 20 instead of 14 but that’s what happened. Talk about short-​sighted. Made an extra 6 bucks (though I tipped her less than i would have originally), but lost a customer.
Same exact thing happened to a guy I teach with, which I found out after the fact.

Loved this place. Small, independently owned, and Rita the owner has been a barber for decades!

New barber lady. Heavy handed, sloppy, grouchy.

I had heard great things about this place and for me to make the drive from the valley to Pasadena so it had to really be good to be worth the drive Rita was great with the hair cut she did the tapered on the back very well and the cut was just how I liked it. Really happy with the service thanks guys

My boyfriend loves this place! He goes here regularly, and he always looks great. Rita does a great job, working quickly and accurately. My boyfriend tells her the look he’s going for and she does it exactly right. Also, no mess, all the residue hair is gone. Plus, the price is reasonable. He loves it!

This barber shop… Wait it’s not a barber shop that how bad it sucks they messed up my hair didn’t even finish the back and messed up my lineup to be later made fun of at school and bullied they reek of cigarettes and they suck

This place is great. Just take a little time to communicate exactly what you want and they totally understand. Im the type of person who jumps from shop to shop but this place has me coming back.

Harry the owner is a PRO! He really know’s how to cut a mans hair. After having the same barber for 15 years I needed to find someone in the area and Harry is perfect. It’s not a Beverly Hills flashy shop but the haircut will make you look like a STAR!

I’ve always wanted to try this place because it is very close to where l live, and since i had my first hair cut with Harry, i became a regular. Harry is kind, friendly and a talented barber. Most places rely on the trimmer for a quick and ugly hair cut, not this place. Harry spends the required amount of time to ensure a clean and even hair cut.

This experience started off pleasant, and ended up with a weak haircut. I should have known to walk away when two patrons before me were upset. My turn came, and I explained my simple cut I wanted, and by the end of it, it was the most uneven cut I’ve had. Staff was very nice, but, quality of the service was under par.

So the first second and third time I came here I got really awesome hair cuts. but after the dude that cut my hair left that place. holy crap I walked in and the owner said he quit but don’t worry this lady does great fades. man that woman is either his mother or he’s just delusional. she f’ed my hair up so bad a blind person could have done a better job. I had to go back and she said. what I did wrong? I asked her to fix it right. she still didn’t get it straight. I left and called and told the owner I’m coming later today and I want you to fix it. So I went back in amd got the stink eye from the lady. which I gave right back. so in the end my hair was still a lil crooked. Well I’ll never go back there that’s for sure

My husband’s thick, wavy Scottish hair is tamed here! He’s been known to break scissors, but this place knows what they’re doing.
They actually listen to how he likes the shape of the hair on the sides and the top. I like that they clean up his neck and cut around the ears impeccably. It’s always clean and neat, and the hairs are well blended, not arbitrarily chopped up.
Terrific value for the price!

So far its great, Ive been a happy customer for over 3 months. Hyrar aka nick is a great barber and you can’t beat the prices! Very much recommended.

I’m writing this on my Bf’s behalf… Not that he can’t, just that he won’t… I’m sure if he had asked to get his super jacked up side burns fixed they would have (didnt notice til we were back in the car but then had to leave somewhere). BUT I’m kind of surprised that being a barber shop they would even let him leave looking like that or at least maybe checking their work maybe once or twice.
There were 2 guys there. One chatty and one pretty quiet. I’m assuming the chatty guy might be the more talented one as seriously, my Bf’s side burns are ridiculously laughable (he got the more surly gentleman). No really… At least we’re getting comedic value. Every time I look at him I can’t help laughing.
The only upside is that there was no wait and it was quick… But had we known better we probably would have waited for the other guy who was at the moment working on an older gentleman instead of the dude on the couch who was laid down with his arms crossed.
Bottom line… For a place that specializes on literally a handful of things — HOW DO YOU MESS UP SIDE BURNS SO BAD?!
First time there. We came because of the great reviews (but for the cautious customers I’m throwing this into the mix for consideration). Maybe it was a fluke thing, but we won’t be going back.

There’s no Nick here, but there is a Harry (he claim’s like last name is Potter. I don’t know about that one) that takes care of business.
Fair price, clean haircut, and always friendly.
I don’t often write long reviews about places I like in fear that people will start going there too and ruin the experience.
I’m sure my review is similar to everyone else’s when I say he’s a friendly guy with old school barber shop swag. I’ve been to the Bolt Barbers, Rudy’s in Glendale, and some other more well known shops, but in the end this is where I keep ending up for reasons mentioned up above.

Pros: The place is right where you need it, in your local neighborhood. Very Good Rates and he is a very good listener and cuts they way you want it, every time. He also is very good with iPod and iPhone repairs. Very knowledgable over wide range of topics from the local political lanscape of California to the price of tea in China. The Game is always on if not you will receive an education on the Discovery channel so bring the kids to. Ask him about the Veterans discount program.
Cons: Needs coffee

Today I visit Nick’s for the first time. I arrived here quite upset from a visit at a Supercuts location less than a mile away only 10 minutes earlier. I’m an easy going guy but as a businessman myself, sometimes you only want to give your money to people/​businesses that deserve it. That was not Supercuts and quite frankly independent shops like Nick’s deserve it.
I was greeted promptly and cheerfully. The small shop is very clean and comfortable and the haircut I received was quick but not rushed at all. All in all an excellent value for my dollar and yes my wife liked my haircut! It was a pleasure to do business here and I will return in the future.

To Denise — no he’s not. Your delusional, he’s not racist and he is an amazing nice and talented barber, so just quietly go somewhere else and stop crying because i don’t know a better barber yet.
And Justin you’re crazy. The barber even stayed 30 minutes after closing time to finish cutting my hair. They’re very nice and take their time with their customers.

Been coming here for the past 6 months. They cut my hair quick but really thorough. Ive paid considerably more at other places only to have the same result and have barbers spend twice as long.
This is my first Unilocal review and i decided to write one bc Harry (my barber here) is great and I’d like to spread the word that this place is a quality barbershop. May not look fancy on the outside but it’s about the quality of the work and the friendliness that keeps me coming here. I highly recommend it to all! Harry’s new associate cut my hair last time and did a great job as well. Check this place out and show ur support !

My husband has been coming here for months now and always gets a great cut. If there is ever a mistake or unevenness they are always happy to fix it with no complaints. :-)
The prices are decent and the service is fast. We’re both so glad that Nick’s opened up because we were paying so much $ at other places for bad cuts. This is my hubby’s new go to place for a good cut!
