The Real Barbers College Salon

Just wanted to say Mike Thompson did an amazing cut with every detail I wanted as I am picky, he didn’t rush but wasn’t taking his time, he knew what he was doing and was confident which made me felt good about my hair, when he graduates I’ll defiantly become a regular! Thanks for the cut Mike!

It was great. Got sat down right away. The only down thing was that the barber pushed down on my head hard but things like that can b over looked sometimes haha. But it was Great Recommend it to everyone

Shop says it closes at 10 on Unilocal.One of the barbers says the shop closes at 10. The sign on top of the builiding says the shop closes at 10.
I walked in @ 8:50 and some girl with boujie-​wack-​Kylie-​Jenner-​hair says I can’t get a cut because the shop ‘closes’ @ 9. When asked when the shop opens she responds «uh… I’m never here in the morning, around 10??» –_​_​–
So as soon as I step out 2 guys walk in after me, sit in my waiting spot, then are immediately seated in a barber chair. LOL. Thanks for saving me from a wack ass haircut anyway, Ms. Boujie :)

The best experience ever. No complains, always happy in a very old fashion barbershop style.

This place is great I found it about a year ago and have been back every two weeks! If you go in for a haircut ask for Christian!

I’m not a student here so I obviously don’t know what it’s like on an educational perspective but on a consumer perspective this place sucks. The ONLY thing really going for them is that their haircuts are only $ 5.00. Came in here tonight (⁸⁄₁₈) around 6:45pm. Mind you Unilocal says that this place closes at 10:00pm but anyway. Opened the door and didn’t even look up before I heard «we’re closed bro». Bro? We aren’t related. I know that’s 2014 slang for you and I’m a teenager but I also work in customer service and that wasn’t quite appreciated. After hearing that, I look up and see two guys getting their cuts and five other students sitting around in chairs chillin’. They’re just lazy. If you’re closed why are all these people still sitting around? I’m sure they could’ve made time for one more cut but who knows why they always choose when they want to close. Stick to one time and call it a day! Long story short, this place had so much more class and organization when the original owner Augie was taking care of things. May he rest in peace.

Mostly young adults cutting hair here. The hair cut I got from Noah was well worth the money. It’s 5 $ plus a tip. Not too bad, depending on who cuts your hair.

Gets 5 stars for price and cut but I will say this find a good barber and stick with him if you plan on coming here more than once it will help. Theyre is alot of guys so not a place to take a girl or a sister or even your wife. since guys will stare at anything that moves … Just a heads up other than that I was pleased to leave with a nice cut … Oh yea price is 5 dollars a haircut dont be a chead ass and not leave a tip if they do a good job…

Greetings,
I appreciate an event of art– middle finger up is not a part of visual art… can you use another finger to express you appreciation of art towards barber school…

Good cuts for pretty cheap, great shop good structure. Find the right guy for your style and you are set.

You get what you pay for I suppose. Today I just wish I had paid a little more. Won’t be coming back here no more.

As an extreme Unilocaler I read thru these comments and was fairly dissapointed. People seem to miss the key ingredient here that this is a «school». Don’t ruin a businesses reputation based on your elaborate wishes of perfection when all humans need to learn to become great.

VERY JUVENILE AND VERY RUDE!!! Cuts are overlooked! No teacher is present to inspect their cuts!!! Students act so ridiculously rude!
My husband and I went there last saturday 8÷3÷13. We didn’t know they were closed but the students sure did let us know! First thing they did when we walked in was yell We’re Closed!!!” Extremely rude! The entire time they kept whining about people coming in after hours and yelling at them that they’re closed! The student didn’t listen to my hubby and gave him the wrong hair cut! Not sure if he was trying to rush him out! One of the barbers was yelling «Hurry up and get the customers out so we can get out!» We will never return ever!!!

This place is alright. I mean, you have to keep in mind that your hair is being cut by students, so you’re rolling the dice by coming here. But when it’s summer and it’s hot and I want to buzz my hair off every three weeks, then $ 5 per haircut is a pretty sweet deal! I mean, I buzzcut is pretty hard to screw up…
However, the wait can be very, very long at times. It’s only offset by the cheap price.

This barber school beats definitely beats out Rosstons in the IE. I went here and referred my brother as well. I opened up my barbershop a year ago and the difference in what is taught and learned in VERY significant between schools. Its worth the commute. From a business owner and from the work I have seen I would pick up a RBC student faster because of the quality of work and talent.

Liked my cut worth the 5 $ i paid for. Dont see a reason why ppl would complain maybe cause the guy that cut me is better than others

Oh this place. Yeah, I used to come here every few months when I was dirt-​poor and couldn’t afford anything other than standing in line to get a free haircut voucher. Not sure if they still do it, but it was twice a week (Tuesday & Thursday?) at some food bank down the street right next to the church. I do not miss the days of being on welfare and unemployed, and this place is easily overlooked when considering why I stopped coming here.
All I remember is they didn’t do a horrible job — They didn’t have the chance to because I’m very easy to take care of — but it always took FOREVER to finish. Even just to use a buzzer and some scissors to clean it up was an hour+ project for these kids. The irony is that real haircuts are only $ 7 everywhere else and it takes less then 15 minutes. So, what you’re «saving» on money you’ll spend on opportunity cost and the realistic possibility that the kid working on you can horribly fuck your hair up.
Nice picture someone uploaded of a cholo flipping the bird. Another unfortunate reminder I didn’t care to see.

I don’t really get why my husband likes going here. I think it has more to do w/​paying only $ 5 than having hair that looks nice. Every time, his cut is uneven and patchy and it doesn’t flatter him at all. But that may have more to do with his preferences than the stylist’s skill. But you can’t beat $ 5, so if you just want a buzz or something very simple, why not?

This place is okay, you know it is a barbers college. Our hairstylists gotta learn somewhere. I’ve taken my son here a few times. $ 5 and eagar to cut your hair. A majority of different guys have cut my sons hair only one time I really didn’t like the cut and the licensed stylist came and helped him out and corrected it, wasn’t that bad. There really isn’t a long wait, and I just found out cuts are free M-​Thurs. 10:00am to 12:00pm.

I went to The Real Barbers College in October 2011 as a customer. Since it is a barber school the prices were great. I paid 6 dollars and was very pleased with the way my hair turned out.
The student who cut my hair was patient, diligent and paid very close attention to details. He would also frequently ask me if I was happy with the way my hair was turning out.
I had never really styled my hair before so I asked him what type haircut would he recommend that I try and he was very concise and helpful with the consultation.
During my haircut he was even able to shared different shearing techniques and tips on how to execute a gentlemen’s cut to another student. Thank you Rafael.
