Happy Barber

My boo was so excited when I discovered their new location when browsing Unilocal looking for a barber. He always used to go here when they were located on magnolia & la Palma. Since they’ve moved, he went to other places and was always disappointed with his cuts. We went on a weekday, they weren’t too busy, they were able to work him right in. 30 min later we left and he was looking spiffy. Only $ 8 bucks for a haircut. Five stars, he’ll totally be back !

Michael has great customer service, very friendly for a very cheap price ! Great quality here at happy barber!

Michael is my go to barber. Great cuts and great prices. Keep up the awesome work HAPPY BARBER. come in and check them out. If you are a prissy type then I suggest you go elsewhere. But if looking for a clean fade or other contemporary haircut is your thing, come by and let Michael take care of you. You won’t be let down. Just don’t be so picky. This is not a 25 dollar haircut but they have 25 dollars worth of style packed into their 9 dollar skin fades. Happy barbering everyone!

I have been going for a good year now since they were first located on Magnolia & La Palma. I have not had any problems with any of my cuts regardless of who has cut it. They do a good job and they are friendly.
$ 6 is a great price.
I usually leave a $ 2 tip.
I’m actually getting my haircut here tomorrow morning. I originally came here to see what time they opened haha.

Walked in sat down to wait for the next available barber and within 15min i had 2baby roaches crawling in my sandels. I WALKED OUT NEVER COMING BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN

Hit or miss. Sometimes the cut is great and other times its not so great. I guess it depends on the mood of the barber.

Disclaimer: I have never been to Happy Barber. I never will. If you want me to try your business, never leave your advertising on my car — especially when it’s sitting in my driveway. Pay for a mailer or advertise some other way. Don’t leave your trash on my property.

They are a little too honest. The haircut was good though and the service was quick.
Price is really nice and the hours are more than convenient.

Mike’s the best! New location but same excellent service. Son n hubs have been getting their haircuts from him for over a decade now. Great price too!

I have not had any luck looking for a good barber. They would be good for a couple of cuts, then poof, what the heck was that hair cut. So here we go again.
It looked like a new place, but when I asked the barber, he said, they’ve been there a long time. hmmm. (only 2 reviews within the last month). I look at their price and whoa $ 7 hair cut? really? Alarm bells starts going off in my head and it had a big sign, GET OUT and GET OUT NOW. Too late, the barber talked to me and asked me what I wanted. I wanted a hair cut and a shave. He said $ 15. (it’s the price of just a hair cut at my former barber shop) What did I have to loose, right. It will grow back in no time, so I sat down.
Oscar was my barber. This is a Vietnamese Barbershop. The funny thing, Oscar starts talking to me in Tagalog (Filipino dialect). At first I thought he was talking to the other barber in Vietnamese. Lmao. So that’ s what tagalog sounds like with a Vietnamese accent. lol. I got used to him speaking it and we had a really good conversation. hahaha.
The cut:
Oscar did a good job with the hair cut. He was very meticulous and took his time (I wasn’t in a hurry, so I didn’t mind). He communicated well and asked questions regarding my preferences as he was cutting my hair. I liked that.
The shave was mostly by electric razor. The final touches were done with a straight edge razor. It was okay. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re expecting a really close shave. For me, it was good enough.
He said he gave me the Filipino Cut. After he cut my hair and shaved my beard, he wrapped my face with a towel (it was lukewarm at best) and proceeded to give me a neck and head massage. I don’t know if he does this to every customer, but it was nice. I guess you get a towel wrap and a head & neck massage in the Philippines when you get a hair cut, I didn’t know that. lol
They have male and female barbers. Vietnamese is the primary language spoken here, but everyone seem to speak and understand English pretty good. Communication, I don’t believe would be a problem.
From the hair cut I saw them do and the one I got, I think I will be coming back again. I’ll definitely go see Oscar again and practice my Tagalog and have a Filipino hair cut experience again. hahaha.
2015 Review #68

I had been going to the same barber for over 20 years and was nervous finding a new one. After going to a few disappointing places I stumbled across Happy Barber on Unilocal while in their original location on Magnolia. I have found my new barber with Michael and plan on making him my barber for years to come. Not only does he give great haircuts but seems to be an all around good guy.

7 dollar haircut! What a deal! They do great contemporary haircuts. Don’t expect a high end salon or super fancy haircut. My Barber is Linda. She has been for a few years since I work nearby. All the workers are Vietnamese. Don’t expect perfect English. You will wonder sometime if they understood you. But they do. It’s hard to understand their chit chat with you sometimes so keep it at a minimum.
Expect to wait a while as they are very popular. I come in during my lunch break between 12:30 to 3pm. This is a he best time to avoid the crowds.
If you come from 5 to 7 expect to wait minimum of 45 minutes and maybe not get your preferred Barber.
The décor is new mixed with old. It is much better than their precious place.
They are very friendly. I highly recommend them for the price
