Fresh Up

My son got an awful cut, line is way too large and his sideburns look horrible. I would never go back.

Came in here for a cut. No acknowledgement of customers what so ever. Waited over 30mins barbers show no kind of customer service. I’m sure they get too many customers that walk in and out to even care, friends getting priority. I Just walked out and left. If it’s your last cut how about letting ppl know that are waiting that you’re leaving. Get some good customer service skills.

Before I start writing this review I want to say that I tried calling the manager urban Chino but the phone is disconnected so here it goes… we have been here two times the first time my son got a hair cut from urban chino the manager and I loved it & so did my son he charged us around $ 20 the second time around urban chino wasn’t available so I let another barber cut his hair I asked for a gent/​comb over and told him that if he was planning on cutting a line where the hair combs over then to please do it as thin as possible, when it was time to pay my son right away told me that the guy had cut him and that it hurts and it was burning, the barber then smiled and said that he had hiccups so he had to cut the line bigger then I had wanted, he proceeded to charged me $ 25 which confused me because I though it was going to be $ 20. But when we got in the car I saw he was bleeding a little and he said it hurt. Today he woke up and I took another look at it and he really did cut my baby! Almost the entire length of the line! I felt so bad for my son. I know it wasn’t because he’s bad and can’t sit because this has never happened before! He has been getting his hair cut since he was 1 years old, I’m just upset and wanted to worn any other moms out there that might be thinking of bringing their children for a cut. I’ve never had this problem when I went to Ducky’s barber shop in El Cajon the only reason why I tried to find a new barber was because the wait is very long at times but now I see they are completely worth the wait, never again!

I rate this place 5 stars because Barber Itchy (from Chi-​town too! Woot!) gave my husband the best cut he’s had since getting an epic cut visiting Australia in July 2013. 2013!!!
My husband is military, and usually gets a medium fade with only a tad off the top. Itchy went above and beyond a normal barber cut for military.
Two thumbs up!
I’ll be visiting him myself when I finally get the balls to get the undercut I always wanted. He’s got a great portfolio.

Went to fresh after not being serviced at clipper crew barber shop, even though I had an appointment. Recently changed barbers after having the same one for 8 years. I was slightly apprehensive being that I was in unfamiliar territory bit «Itchy» did an outstanding job making my cut fresh how it always has been! Shout out to «Itchy!»

the mexican or asian guy cut my son’s hair it was really nice but. …
i decided not to go there because i don’t want my children listening to their pervertive, explicit, rap music. …b.s. it pissed me and my wife off not to mention others who i’ve spoken with !
my brother in law went there and was upset because of the music being played
i grew up in the ghetto listening to gansta shit but i don’t want that b. s played around my kids !

I’m sure the rest of the barbers do a great job… But there was one, who I will not name, who did a horrible job. I asked SPECIFICALLY for a LOW skin fade… What I got was a high and tight. I told him half way through butchering my hair that he wasn’t doing it right. And he continued to cut it even higher. The entire haircut, he was laughing and joking with the other barbers and paid NO ATTENTION to my request. I still paid for the haircut. Because I’ll never be one to scam out of anything. I got a haircut, it was just completely wrong and unprofessional. This ridiculous barber will not keep repeat business if he maintains his idiotic antics. He should provide much better service for what customers pay for a cut. Absolutely ridiculous.

This Barbershop by far produces the DOPEST cuts and atmosphere I’ve ever been to. You walk in and your greeted like you are one of the homies that they haven’t seen in a long time. They make sure the wait is pleasant and will shoot the breeze to ease the wait tilme. BIG BOY AKA Victor me killing it with the razor. Been my barber for almost a two years. Never complained. Always got the music bumping. Cool spot. Been coming here for a total of 4 years. No complaints.

I did the unthinkable and received an amazing haircut without paying a tip. The least I can do is leave a review for the only place I get my haircut. A man of my word, I’m gonna come back and give Urban Chino the tip he well deserves. So far, Urban Chino, Boss Man, and Chingy (I think) have cut my hair and I’ve been more than pleased. The atmosphere is always live, the barbers are always energetic and love to do what they do. Getting in line is the trickiest part, but as long as you hold yourself accountable as far knowing who you come before, then you’re set. My first haircut was iffy, but I wasn’t too set on the haircut I wanted in the first place. As long as you communicate efficiently, the barbers will cut the way you want.
Other than that, hell of a barber shop. The dudes know hair.

These guys get a two; simply because there too inexperienced. Guy nicked and pulled my hair; tried to say it was already there when I called him out on it. If there’s one thing I hate; its a barber who answers their phone when cutting hair. Keep it professional!

Still the standard for me. Had a couple of upgrades since the last time I was there. Hair cuts are great, and nice conversations (a must for a barber in my book)

Absolutely phenomenal. Urban Chino did a great job. Not as good as Ducky’s in El Cajon but while Ducky’s is closed I would go here. Go to Ducky’s when they re-​open.

I live way up in north county and travel down south to fresh up in plaza Bonita mall because they are that good. The atmosphere is good and my man Ray is the BEST THERE IS!!! All the guys and one girl are all good too…

My 2^nd visit was less than satisfactory. The barber, frm grinder Ricky, did a fast careless line up, not sure if it was because he used talks to a friend of mine and was embarrassed, I thought hed be better cuz he knew him. but he seemed extra careless this day. In a rush and sloppy. he was rough, I’ve never had any barber at any shop whip my head all over the place and pull my ears hard, never. I was overly aggressive. I usually get charged 17 and I give a 3 dollar tip… anywhere. mind you I only get the sides and back lined up and shaved down. He said 20 off the bat. So I definitely did not tip him anything more for his careless work. I give 2 stars ONLY because my first visit was awesome the black guy with the dreads did amazing, he was friendly to talk TO, accomadating, and fresh line up on me without rushing and made sure it was perfected no matter how easy or small the job was. He has a great personality I wish I knew his name but go see him DO NOT GO TO RICKY. He is sloppy and over charges. I’m sad to say I will not be returning and niether will my 2 friends who usually go there.

Been coming here for a very long time. I always make sure I see my boy ‘CJ’. He gets the job done! He can do all type of cuts, designs, etc. make sure you ask for him!
Cons: wait time can be long sometimes it does get busy in the shop

I guess they don’t want my business. Stood in there like an idiot while they completely ignored me as they danced around and told jokes. I guess I’ll spend my money somewhere else.

This place was good. Some of the barbers are just a joke but the ones who take their craft seriously are good. I won’t go anymore because the ones who are a joke have f%$?@! Up my fade too many times and overcharge for their mistakes. Like I said it used to be good. I just wish the others would take their craft more serious.

By far the definition of what you look for in a barbershop, Jose has been my barber for years now and apart from the creative and artistic talent he really makes you feel at home. Definitely a must see if your in the area.

I went here with out researching and I really regret it. I just wanted my hair cutt really close without being bald. I dont remember his name but he was hitting on me the whole time and asking personal questions. Obviously uncomfortable I tried to change the subject without being rude because id rather not piss off the guy thats half way done shaving my head. Anyway I avoid this place like the plague even though my gym is right next to it soo its just really inconvenient. I wish I could give it zero stars because not only was the barber unprofessional he sucked at cutting hair (very patchy). Dont go here.

All of the barbers are super talented and great with my son! Very cool place to vibe to as well! They always have good music playing!
