Roger’s Barber Shop

Roger and the other guys are good no doubt but whenever I get some of the women. They are either spot on what I asked or real off. And my last few visits have been real off. I asked for a simple skin fade and the top of my hair cut short. She said okay and I trusted she understood. Right away she faded one side into a skin fade and the other as a regular with the top as a comb over. I didn’t want that. I just paid and left. And yes I tipped anyway. I’ll probably end up going to super cuts again.

I’ve been going here for a while since the barber place across the street raised its prices. Not very expensive and reliable.

I am extremely picky with my hair even though it’s only a basic buzz cut. Usually, the ladies take their time and don’t mind going over it when I ask them to. The other guys tend to rush. I can always cut my own hair but here I don’t have to clean up or worry about missing a few hairs that I can’t see. When they use the vacuum attached to the clippers, there is less of a mess. Sometimes, the owner buys donut holes from across the street as snacks for the customers.

Ok first time here. There was two barbers a gentleman and lady they where both occupied but greeted me. So the lady finished first and called me up I got to say not a bad experience the clippers they use have a suction hose connected to them which catches almost all the hair being trimmed I will be coming back.

Been to a few barber shops and expensive hair salons and yet, no one was able to get my haircut right.
Here I got the haircut I was looking for quick, easy and surprisingly for only eight bucks. Definitely coming back!
Not the best area or glamorous location but really, who cares?

I went here because I saw the $ 7 haircut sign while driving. Another selling point that I love is the vacuum they have attached to each hair clippers. It prevents hair from falling on you. Acceptable turnaround times and very economical.

$ 8/​cut. thats it. and they do a great job! my bf goes here all the time, and i took my son here too. they are mostly filipino middle-​age men/​women so i felt real within my comfort zone haha. and add to that, the last time we came there was a box of donut holes (from the bakery across the street, i assume), on the table in the waiting area.
the area is a little sketchy, but i wouldn’t hesitate to go back :)

Man it’s been years since I last got a haircut here at Rogers. Still the same crew (with a few newbies)
Roger still there doing his thang, fading domes and hooking up dudes with fresh cuts. Auntie to his left still calling dudes «pogi»
I was in a rush and just wanted to get a quick fade so I didn’t care who cut my hair. Normally I’d wait for Roger though.
Got hooked up with a new guy. Chill, really nice, even cracked a few jokes.
This place hasn’t changed since my childhood days of living in Paradise Hills.
9 dollar cut and I’m looking «pogi» to bring in the new year!

My pops recommended Roger’s Barber Shop a couple of years ago. This is where he goes when he’s looking for that close cut. This is when cuts use to cost $ 7. Now cuts are $ 8, which is nothing. Love this barber shop. The layout is as old school as it gets and reminds me of the days as a little kids
Since I have my own preference home in Las Vegas, I don’t frequent Roger’s as much as I once did. I tend to come here during the summer when my hair style is basically a buzz and when I’m in town. They also do trims, flat tops, and fades here. Not sure how good they are, but since there’s a lot of loyal regulars, I assume they’re happy with their cuts.
Couple of things that you will notice when you come here for your cuts.
1. It’s packed, especially on the weekends
2. There’s usually a box of donuts, snacks, or Filipino treats on the table for their guest
3. 95% of the guest are Filipino. It’s like a home away from home for me.
4. Their trimmers are attached to vacuums (i.e. old school Flowbee stuff)
Even though this place is packed, majority of the guest have their specific barber that they go to. So if you’re like me, where it doesn’t matter who cuts your hair, the wait is minimal. Overall, I recommend if you’re looking for the basic and quick cut.
PS: Cuts are cheap. Don’t forget to Tip.

I like this place. Friendly… family oriented (the couple of times I’ve been here there has always been a family there)…and of course, great hair cuts. I actually came here once to have a messed up haircut fixed — told the lady what I wanted and she fixed me up.
Just a FYI, I always get skin fades and this place gets me lookin’ fresh. First time I got a fade here, it was the younger look dude in the back. The second and third time it was the lady who should be the first one you see upon entering. Overall, this is a great place to get a haircut.
Random: Who else gets skin fades… I keep getting ‘em because I love that feeling of them running that electric shaver on the back of your head. Mmm… feels good.
Don’t judge me.

I been going her sense I was in high school Uncle Roger is awesome. Sometimes we have to wait a while because everyone comes here. I have no complaints great place close to home

I’ve been getting my haircuts here since I was in junior high. I’m 30 now. I’ve had different hair styles over the years from skin fades to regular cuts. They always seemed to do an excellent job as my style changes. Roger’s brother Fernando is my choice, but everyone else cuts great hair.
Also, you never feel like they are rushing to finish your hair, even when it’s busy.

Brought my boys here for a fresh new cut. They both felt really pampered from all the Lolo’s lol!!! **will be returning again for future cuts!

It’s a place like this that proves you don’t need a $ 70 haircut to get laid. If you need that expensive ass haircut, you need to work on some people skills, take a shower, take off that diaper, whatever. If you can get some, you’ll get some even if your haircut is a $ 7 – 9 special at Roger’s. Trim the sides, skin, little off the top, and you’re done. The side comments you hear are funny if you can understand Tagalog. I always give a tip when I can.
So save your cash and get your hair cut here for cheap. If a chick ever tells you she can tell the difference between a 7 and a 70 dollar haircut, just fucking laugh and tell her she’s fucking lying! If I rolled out of bed, slapped some gel in, I’m pretty damn sure that unless it was a cheap job done somewhere else done by a blind man, no one is ever going to know.

Continuing on a quest for a decent cut I return back to ‘hood. I start asking around where people get their cut. Two of my friends say that they being going here to Roger’s for years. Fair enough plus that sign that says $ 7 haircut looks quite nice. I get here early on a Sunday morning. As soon as I walk in I’m signaled to grab a seat in the chair. One fade with a trim on the top.
For $ 7 I have to say that it was a good enough haircut. Had they charged me twice that this would have been a 1 – 2 star review. The old saying you get what you pay for comes to truth here. If all else fails and I can’t find a decent shop than Roger’s can always roll as a plan B. But why settle for good enough when you want to get right.

This is the OG spot right here. I’ve been getting my hair cut here since I was little. I have my favorites but all the barbers are competent and I don’t pick and choose. They are all real nice. My favorite is Roger’s bro, he’s been rocking that same hair style since ‘forever and ever amen’; the mullet hybrid pony tail thing going on, shit’s gangsta. You’ll be called things like «pogi» (Tagalog for handsome), and if your anywhere my age, «boy» or «home boy.»
It’s always fun to see that same U.S. Navy Seals poster. And that other Navy poster with JFK on it. I didn’t check, though, to see if it was still there as I was there earlier today.
lately, I’ve seen that that all the chairs are being staffed which is awesome because it wasn’t always that way. It seems that they’re doing well and that it will be sticking around as long as it already has.
I’ve noticed that the price went from 6 to 7 dollars. I don’t mind this as it is still cheap. I don’t hesitate to tip an extra dollar either. I always feel good walking out of there.
Parking is a little whack. The spaces are tight and it can get full from time to time but it ain’t nothin’

Roger’s has a special place in my heart as I have been going to this barber since high school. On the first chair is Roger of course and without a doubt, he gives the best haircuts. Other barbers there are two pinay ladies who some of you guys call «aunties». One of which calls everyone «pogi». Roger’s brother is on the far end. Their is a latina women and two other pinoy barbers as well.
Notes of interest:
A bit of history with Roger is that he’s ex-​navy so he often gets retired military guys.
Across the street from Rogers is another barber, who Roger hates.
Say «Salamat po» (thank you sir) after your done.
Tip usually a dollar or two
Roger’s brother loves talking about women, sports, and both Roger and his brother are gamblers.
Roger’s brother loves to tell jokes.
Unless you speak tagalog, Roger tends to mumble.
Roger is a great barber and is an important part of the neighborhood of Paradise Hills/​Valley.

«Just a trim on the sides, leave the front please» EYE! I left that place lookin’ like The Fonze from happy days…
Auntie started callin me Pogi before the haircut, and then after I guess I was too pangit cause she never called me pogi again… =(
None the less that place gave me memories that would stay with me for days to come… Filipino owned, so expect to hear topics of school, military, parents, and girls…

Been coming to Roger’s since the mid 90’s (jr high school). Practically grew up with this place! Wow! I’m old ha! Before Kragen was there and it was on the corner. It was really small back then but then they moved into where it’s known now. big upgrade!
I usually get my haircut with anyone that’s available. Most of them are pretty good in my opinion. except… A few months ago i gotta a cut from Roger’s brother (not the uncle who use to have the pony tail, the other one with the short hair). As long as i’ve been coming here it was the first time he cut my hair. Wow, he messed up my hair! Let me tell you, I get a simple haircut. «trim the sides but not too short and about an inch off the top». that’s it! I swear uncle gave me a step cut like i was in 5^th grade. wth?! ha! He fixed it a little but still. I wasn’t too mad because my hair grows pretty fast so i was back in a few weeks to fix it by the other barbers.
Best days to come here are usually the weekdays. You’ll get a crowd on the weekends for sure. Parking lot is kind of small and usually full on the weekends due to the other businesses in the plaza.
I’m still a regular even though I moved out of Paradise Hills and live in east Chula Vista now. I can’t really find any inexpensive and good barber spots around east Chula. Takes me about 15mins to get over there but I think it’s worth it. You can’t beat the $ 7 regular haircuts! All the barbers are super nice! Can’t go wrong with this Pinoy owned spot!

I feel hecca cute when i come here and when I leave. Mainly because I like how the the Auntie Barber used to cut my hair back in the day when i used to rock a skin fade to complement my slick back hair that was usually covered in either Dep gel (yellow bottle) or LA looks gel (green bottle). In my opinion, she did the best job! She used to call every guy getting a haircut «POGI» (handsome in tagalog) and make them feel special and good looking.
«What would you like POGI?»
«SKIN FADE please, but don’t touch the bangs!» is all i needed to say to have my hair cut to perfection.
I honestly haven’t been to rogers barbershop in years because I have been shaving my head for so long, but I still remember the special feeling I had leaving that place. HECCA CUTE! Thanks Auntie! ;)
