Barber Jon’s

Call to set up an appointment to get a shave. Worth it! I grow out my facial hair every time I’m in Chico, just to get a shave before I leave! I’ve been to a few other places around town, the guy here is the best!

I book an appointment online (easy and convenient) walk in, sit in the magic chair, they already know what I want, but I also have the option to change it if I wish, great haircut, and out the door I go.

Being a Chico Local I’ve tried many barbershops in town and none compare to Barber Jon’s. The costumer service they offer is very professional. They are stacked when it comes to barbers with each specializing in different styles of cuts. Always a clean environment and ready to attend new clients. Jonathan is great and always leaves my hair exactly how I want it. Come check them out!

I took my boys here the last few times they had their hair cut and even took my daughter in. It’s a little more than the cost of a normal kid’s haircut but cheap/​decent for the cost of the average adult’s cut. They are pretty good, so I’m going to keep taking them. We’ve been to a lot of places in town and sometimes don’t come back to the places after the first time, as I keep looking for that great hairdresser that knows how to cut boys hair. I think we’ve found the place. They are no thrills, and go by appointment, *which they honor.* You can pretty much book an appointment the same day, no problem, unless it’s later in the day (I’ve found).
They offer great magazines, red licorice and a golfing video game for free. Everyone there is nice. The last time we were there, one of the gals had tomatoes and zucchini from her garden out for customers to take. Great place for college students, men coming home work as well and people with hair that is either challenging or that one finds haircutters just can’t seem to get right. I’ve noticed this merely from watching customers come in and leave happy just from the few times I’ve been there.

Barber Jon’s is the kind of place where you go when you want your barber to remember how you like your trim, give you a man’s no B.S. Shop experience and end with a warm lather straight razor neck shave.
Their same day reserved time has always worked well for me, almost no wait.
I, for one, am not troubled by friendly humor and banter. If your psyche is too fragile for that go to your Mom’s hairdresser until you grow up.
Best consistent barbershop experience ever.

Complete waste of time. If I could give zero stars, I would. Good haircuts bad service. Called in today at noon for a hair cut at 330. It is now 430 and I’m still sitting here. When. I ask where I am in line I was told I’m still #2 to be called. Dont waste your time, cuz they could care less about it

After numerous bad haircuts at other local businesses I decided to give Barber Jon’s a try. I happened to be on that side of town and figured «why not?»
My hair was cut by Tammie. She was very polite and made pleasant small talk throughout the duration of the haircut. She didn’t rush through the job but didn’t take too long either.
Unlike most other places I have been, at Barber Jon’s I was not facing a mirror while my hair was being cut. Because of this I couldn’t see the progress of the haircut as it happened. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with the outcome once I was spun around to face the mirror.
Tammie did a great job despite my admittedly vague description of what I wanted. She actually cut my hair better than I could have described how I wanted it cut.
I plan to return to Barber Jon’s for my next haircut.

Great place to get a old fashion haircut, with very friendly staff. It is a great business to visit and well worth the money.

Barber Jons is hands down the best place in chico to get a haircut. Not only do you get a great hair cut, but the people are awesome! Plus free neck shaves anytime you want! Highly recommend giving this place a shot if you haven’t already!

This place has a sort of creepy uncle/​sleazeball/​dumb college freshman «bro» vibe for a few reasons.
–The inside of the place looks like if you put a barber shop in the middle of an old bachelors dark livingroom. (see the pictures I’ve included, which came from their website)
— Their shirts say «I (heart) BJ’s» (advertising with a blowjob reference, classy)
— Their sign says «if we can’t make you look good, YOU’RE UGLY» (again, real classy)
— They regularly put up signs that say things like «no senior discounts, you’ve had twice as long to get the money» and «if you need a beer with your haircut, you might have a problem» and while these aren’t the worst things ever, it certainly does not seem classy to advertise by attacking the elderly or your competition.
its just not a classy establishment, and seems like associating manliness with chauvinism and a lack of tact. But hey, if you are the type of guy that likes blowjob jokes on his t-​shirt and making fun of old people, maybe this place is for you. Maybe thats why they are, according to their website, the «favorite barbershop of chico state fraternities» (I don’t know why they think they can speak for Chico’s fraternal organizations, or why they think teenagers/​kids in their early 20’s are such a good place to get recommendations for men’s grooming)
more ridiculous stuff on their website
-«we are the only traditional barbershop within 2 miles of Chico State» (not true)
— «we have the best online reviews of any barbershop in Chico» (also not true)
— «we offer the best value of any barbershop in Chico» (I would disagree, I’ve found a nicer place with better prices.)
The only reason I would give this place two stars instead of one is because I went about 4 times (before I found a new place) and I never got a bad haircut there, they were always just fine. But I just can’t handle the lack of class and living room atmosphere.

Poliite, friendly staff, free pool & video games while you wait, and only $ 16 for a haircut and beard trim. They do a great job. They’re BARBERS, not cosmetologists, so they know how to cut men’s hair. And my favorite part, they trim the back of your neck at the end with a straight razor. Best haircut in town!

I recommend Barber Jons to every guy in Chico. The owner and barbers are super nice and really know how to cute hair. A hair cut cost $ 16 but it is well worth it my friends. If you don’t believe me go check it out yourself!

I’ve gotten haircuts everywhere in chico but barber Jon’s is the best hands down. Do yourself a favor and check this place out first.

Went to Barber Jon’s after a recommendation from a friend. I had received a bad haircut elsewhere in town and needed it fixed. They were friendly, and happy to help. Left with a good haircut, a hot shave and I will definitely be back. They took the time to do it right!
Like others mentioned, they write down all your info on a card so that you don’t have to explain what you want every time. Also, while there was no wait when I went, I did call ahead of time as suggested… which is recommended.
Looking forward to getting a haircut next time and not a hair-​fix!

The other day I received my final haircut from the best barber shop I’ve been to. This is not only due to the great quality of the haircuts but also for the surrounding environment. Barber Jons encompasses a great supporting staff that is always joking around, a clean shop, pool tables and magazines for those waiting for the chair, and ESPN on three different tvs so that no matter where you are, you will be able to see what’s on.
It was all this that kept me coming back time and time again before I was ushered out of the great town of Chico due to graduation, but upon telling Jon that it was my last time, he asked me where I would be living next and messaged me the best barber shop around my new area as well as their phone number, my numbers and sizes I had been using at Barber Jons and then he wished me a good luck in the future.
I don’t know about you, but people just don’t do business like this anymore, but because BJ’s does, I’m guessing this the reason they are constantly busy and loved by all who give them their business. Thanks again Barber Jons you guys are awesome!!!

First of all, I’ve heard TONS of great things about Barber Jon’s, and I hadn’t ever been in to check it out. I’ve seen a lot of buddies who have been given great cuts from Barber Jon’s so I decided, hey, why not.
I don’t know if this is the case with all the barbers, but the one I had did not really take account for the directions I gave. I told him to cut my hair one way, (I even had pictures of EXACTLY what I wanted) and he decided to go for his own rendition.
Don’t get me wrong, if you’re a guy who needs a buzz-​cut or something simple, this is the place for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a specific hair cut, this isn’t the shop you want. Maybe I’m too picky, who knows.
Great shop, great atmosphere, great employees, but just not what I’m looking for.

Can’t give any less that’s why I gave em a whole star. maybe not so bad if ur a white guy looking to overpay on a shitty haircut but I’m not gonna get all into specifics since I’ll be labeled a winner for playin «the race card» they should just put a sign «whites only» then I would stop inadvertently stumbling into these establishments who don’t mind taking your money and patronizing you at the same time

Barber Jon’s is by far my favorite place to get my haircut. I usually have Jon or Phil cut it, but all of Jon’s barbers are very good. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, featuring flat screen TVs and a pool table. Every one there is friendly and make you feel very welcome. Jon remembered my name after only 1 visit, I was very impressed.
There is usually a decent wait, but you can avoid this by calling in before hand and putting you name on the list.

With other salons and barbershops, when you leave you’re thinking that your hair just needs to grow into it or that it’ll look better in a week. Not Here. Not Jon’s. I leave yelling at people to come see how good I look. Demanding them to feel how smooth the back of my neck is from their straight razor shave. I’d come back every day if my hair grew fast enough.
Call in ahead. Plan for it to take some time. This isn’t a fucking butcher shop, it’s a barber shop. It’s an art, it takes time.
I’ve been coming to Barber Jon’s for 3 years and when I first started coming here, freshman year, I only had one girlfriend. Now I have three. If this review convinces you to go, you’re welcome friend.

Well, I wouldn’t say this was a GREAT place, but it is your average barbershop. I found nothing to be extraordinary, but also found nothing to worry about. Other than the fact that they do shave your neck with foam, they didn’t do it around the ears or along your sideburns. This is what a TRUE barber would have done.
Also, I was pointed towards a TV instead of the mirror. I like to see what the barber is doing. Its my head and my mop, so I have to live with it after the fact. I can watch a TV in the mirror if I want to see a football game.
The place needs some serious cleaning up and straightening up. I guess since they cater to mostly students it doesn’t really matter.
I, for one, was expecting an old barber chair in a traditional barbershop complete with straight-​edge razors sharpened on a strap. And, although the gal was a good barber, I would have preferred a man. After all, a barbershop is a man’s world and sometimes we just want to be away from the women for a bit. No hard feelings, ladies, but its why I don’t go into ‘salons’. Can’t talk s**t with ladies around. Wouldn’t be respectful.
A bit pricey, since you can get the same haircut, minus shave, for around $ 7 in Chico. Not sure I’d go back. Maybe I’ll wait until I’m in Little Italy in SF and visit my old barber friend, Vito. No kidding.
