Quick cuts, safe workers and styling dos. No wait at time of arrival. Cuts are $15 and dont forget to tip. Kids like the flavored DumDums at the counter.

This lady is a lot of fun and amazing. She has a contagious positive energy that spreads to everyone around her. I got just what I wanted with my hair. I cant take my eyes off myself in the mirror. My ash-blonde hair looks amazing. I cannot express how grateful I am to her for everything she has done for me. I was feeling particularly lovely right now. Thank you kindly!

Man I love this place!!! You cant go wrong with who ever you get your cut from. They all do a great job for sure!! Also at a tremendous value, like $15 bucks for a mens hair cut, or $20 bucks for a cut and a beard trim. Ive been getting my hair cut hair for almost 10 years and never have been disappointed. Support your local family owned businesses! Also cash only dont forget... Five stars for sure

The best Beauty shop ever! listens and took her time to understand how you would like your hair to look so that the outcome was perfect. I love my colors and hair cut! The Beauty shop has a beautiful, warm atmosphere, everyone makes you feel welcome. What a nice place to relax! Highly recommended to all!

Bumped their haircuts from $12 to $15 due to the pandemic. Understandable given they rely heavily on foot traffic and there was none for 2-3 months. The reason why Victors is my go-to barber shop is because its typically quick (Ive only waited once upon entering) and is good quality for the value. I get a standard fade cut w/ 1.5 on the sides and a trim up top. I like that they use a straight razor and will clean up your beard edges for no additional price.

My go to place for a haircut. Prices cant be beat and they use old school razors to shave my face and head. Nothing better than getting a full cut and shave to relax to, for $25 or under. Voila, you dont have to be rich to do it once a month. Grateful to have these guys in the area.

Great place but I think they charge gringos more than hispanics bc I saw a bunch of 10s in their logbook even after they quietly changed it to $15 a cut. I still tip and am happy but I trust my gut instinct

This place is good 90% of the time. Its very inexpensive so thats nice but occasionally Ill get a haircut that I dont really love. Normally the guys are very good but it is a bit dependent on who ends up cutting your hair.Ive never had a total botch job here but Id say twice a year I get a cut that Im not thrilled about.Im a guy and I just get a normal 1.5 fade on the sides.

Impress by FRANCISCO’s confidence to tame, cut and style my hair with no hesitancy or doubt. I ❤️ my haircut as I can slick it back with a wet look.My first stylized razor edges. Texturized Hair. Blow dried my hair with his itty bitty small brush to put some curl or wave at ends.Communication may be an issue. I don’t speak Portuguese. Francisco has limited English. But we agreed on, shorter.

Review №25

I’ve been coming here consistently for 2 years without issues. I always get the same thing and before we started I was fairly direct about what I wanted. Today, for god only knows what reason, the barber decided to get creative with my beard. I now look like a really sad mix of the heavy set member of N’Sync and a pirate who’s still trying to figure things out. I’m probably not allowed within X amount of feet of a school zone. I have a pretty thick beard that I wear heavy, not sure why the barber thought I would wanna walk around looking like this. Horrified at my appearance I questioned what happened and he had no answer. I even had to pay for it (in more ways than one). The icing on the cake...I’m about to head to the airport to start my vacation.

Review №33

When I walked in I was greeted by a barber who invited me to take a seat at his chair. With a specific cut in mind, I asked the barber if he spoke English, to ensure my cut would be as intended. I was told yes, sit. After showing a picture and explicitly describing what I wanted, the barber proceeded to get to work quickly. It wasnt until halfway through that I learned he didnt speak English. The cut wasnt bad but it wasnt what I wanted, and Ill be waiting a month for my bangs to grow back to where they were. This rating is a result of being lied to. The barber literally nodded in perceived comprehension to the direction I provided only to do his own thing. If youre not bilingual, know what youre getting into. Also, Id prefer a professional cut than one where the barber races to be done as fast as possible. To me, both of these points result in my understanding of service you can expect when you go here.

Review №35

Not exactly a barber shop. Its more of a apprentice shop. I had my haircut done here and I thought It turned out good. However, once I got home and looked carefully in the mirror, it looked awful. The right side of my head had more hair than the left side. I realized that beauty salons do a better job than these guys. They dont even line you up with a razor. Sorry, but I will not be returning here again. I rather go to Bettys and Nicks for half the price!

Review №41

Great haircut and straight razor for $10. The guy worked fast but was thorough and I was pleased. The only weird thing is you walk in, and there’s no desk or anyone to greet you. I still don’t really understand how the line works since I asked a guy, and he just told me to wait...then a minute later he pointed to me and I sat down in his chair. I don’t think there’s a line, everyone just sits and waits and when someone is open you can sit down. It was slightly crowded on a Saturday at 1pm

Review №42

I like this place I recommend going to the owner or the guy thats next to the ownerI do not recommend going to other guys because they do not listen when you told them to give you a certain haircutand do say okay okay I know what to do then they just do what they want on your head.and do not go to the guys that says next next they just want your money as soon as you get to the door they will beg you to cut your hairand the guy tried to ban me from going there and because he had mess up my haircut I pacifically totally what I wanted and I do not recommend these guys as professional barbers they came off the street only God will go to is your owner thanks for all the haircuts hopefully youre reading this true tell your workers to be more gentle with people haircuts and listen to what they say

Went at 11am and was immediately taken. Very little communication between me and the barber, Carlos (wasnt sure how strong his English was, and my Spanish is garbage). Done in less than 30 minutes, including a touch-up with a straight edge razor. A really nice haircut, and pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Plus, it was just $10, so make sure to tip nicely!

Review №44

My actuall barber wasnt available to I was looking for a place in the area.stopped by this location. The guy who cut my sons hair was very quick,extremely quick...so quick messed up the bAck line of his head. Took out a chunk that he wasnt suppost to. Also,when shaving of the line he didnt do it right all around. They have a quantity type business instead of quality. While I was waiting I noticed that they are all very fast and pushed out about 2-3 customers in 30minutes.. that should of been a sign of the quality they would give me. Anyways, go somewhere else,even if its afew dollars more and the barber takes a bit longer just do it.

They are open on SUNDAYS! Ive been going here since the summer of 2015, and I must say, it is the best place to go if you have no time on your hands and need a quick haircut for a cheap price. The best part is that they always have a multiple number cutting hair, so there is no wait or if so, the wait is less than 5 mins. It depends on the time you walk in. You will always find it to be a quick stop.

For the area, this is a very good priced FADE shop. If you are looking for a haircut with a edge, a hard part, razor fade, or line up then you should go here.I paid $15 for a haircut, beard line, and hard part including a $5 tip.They accommodate both EN/SP speaking patrons. Dont go here with high-end expectations on a $10 haircut.

An okay place to go if you want a quick and decent cut thats inexpensive, but it didnt turn out the best and the razor burn from the straight razor didnt help, and the waiting area and line are confusing. Although it isnt a requirement, but I would strongly suggest you know some Spanish before going there as well.

Ive been to several barbershops around the area, but you cant beat the price at Victors. Cash only barberbshop with minimal wait time because there are so many barbers available every day. They cut exactly how you want, and they always make sure you are satisfied with the cut. The place is well lit and kept clean, couldnt ask for a better place to get a haircut for just $10! I highly recommend, they are skillfull with all styles l.

Very good place for men to get a haircut and very reasonable too price wise at $10, I used to go to Borics, Supercuts and Sportsclips (To pamper myself as the MVP message) but these places are getting to expensive and you still gotta tip. That gets financially difficult to maintain if the prices for hair cuts for men hit $18 to $20. I still gotta tip for crying out loud. I was lucky from my past shoe cobbler friend who has a business nearby to bring me here since he got his facial hair and head hair trimmed. At $10 I decided to give it a try and have gone 2 times. Carlos was the 1st barber I went to a month back and recently he was not there so I tried someone else. luckily I use my Drivers License picture to show how I should look like since i got my haircut back then that day. The only 2 flaws to this place is that they do not except credit cards. Pay cash and the barbers are Hispanic whos English is not so great. I am not trying to be Prejudice (or racist) but it would be difficult to have a social conversation to them in English since they speak Spanish or feel comfortable speaking in Spanish. All and all, do come hear for haircuts and facial trims. I shall try the facial trims too next time.

Have been growing my hair out new into town i went to victors based off stars. let the barber just give me a trim and edge up. his non cutting ass pushed my hairline back and now im forced to cut my hair to even it back out. place sucked and i dont recommend. all the barbers seemed inexperienced. so who ever is in charge of the star giving should give them a half a star.

Terrible experience! They didnt speak English, it was hard to get service, and my haircut was the worst thing Ive ever seen. A blind person could have done a better job.
