Mentor Barber Shop & Style Sln - Pasadena, California

Be wary of coming here. They will mess up the simplest haircuts.

I asked for the most simple haircut: shorter on the sides, longer on top. They gave me an asymmetrical buzz cut and completely removed the hair all around my ears. One of my sides looks ok, but the other just has a completely straight line of hair going across it.

I'm genuinely baffled by how they managed to mess up this badly.

My haircut is pretty simple. They do a fine job, fast, hardly any waiting, and for a reasonable price. Better than the "men's salon" that gives me the same haircut for 2-3 times the price.

A nice barber shop near a locality, its not a big shop but people with gold heart inside which are professionally good in their job. This place have so many reason to go: its quiet place with no queue or waiting list, it is cheap compare to all barber shop nearby surrounding, they are fine in their job, nice people. Every good things come with some limitation and it has too. They accept payment only in cash and totally depend on road side residential parking.

This is not a fancy barber shop but they do a good job for not too much money. I think a basic haircut is $18 which is reasonable. I usually go to Martha and she is excellent. Note that this shop is located on Catalina not Mentor as they moved several years ago. RIP Steve who was the former owner and a very nice guy.

Ruben and Marta are great at cutting hair. They are also kind and caring people. Always great service and prices are very reasonable.

I knew it was a bad idea going here when the place was empty and the guy barber was falling asleep on his chair.

I should've turned back but I didn't.

You know how they say, "you get what you pay for?"

Well I did, and it was an awful haircut. She didn't listen to anything I said and cut it too short. Think about that for a second: if someone wants their hair cut long, why not just air on side of caution and cut it longer than you need to? You can always makes it shorter but you can't fix your mistake.

I don't get why that's so difficult to understand?

Honestly, I'm all about people making a respectable income with their business but these guys have to understand what they're doing. Being a barber in modern day California of all places, means people take their appearances seriously. This isn't getting a haircut in the old country in 1973 where it's no big deal.

If you can't understand why people care about their appearance, then you shouldn't be in business. Period.

I couldn't get out of there faster. Gave a $20 for a $18 never to return. Lesson learned.

Appallingly bad. Do not confuse this with the Academy barber shop next door. The woman I got, Marta, seemed unable to comprehend a haircut that wasn't "a number" or the fact that I wanted to keep my hair curly. I haven't had a haircut this bad in... probably ever.
