American Barbers

Coming here for about 6 months now… My son and I see Gino. He works Fridays and Saturdays only by appointment.
He’s the best barber I’ve ever been too. I’ve been getting fades since high school, not to mention visits to the barber all my life. I’ve seen barbers in East LA, New York City and all over Chino, but these guys here are the best and Gino is at the top of the class!
The proof is in the pudding… Schedule an appointment and try em out.

These guys are really good, I come from San Bernardino, and this is the only place that gives my son the hair cut he wants and it’s done right by Claudio, I wouldn’t take him anywhere else, and all the barbers are friendly and cool

I have been to this place two times and have been really disappointed both times had to wait almost two hours to get a cut I get it they have appointments but they where fully staffed and about the time it would have been my turn the whole staff leaves for there hour lunch witch left me with who I am assuming now was the new person and they messed my hair up yet again I used to have a short beard but when cutting my sides basically took it off lines are not straight my brother who is not a barber did a better job at repairing it I even asked to taper the back and was told they did it and it clearly was not done sorry but I will not be coming back

Try to avoid this place on the weekend. I have waited for about 1 hour… plus the price rose to $ 14, bring cash.

DO NOT come here if you are a new customer. My two boys and I were in need of a haircut today, so I decided to try this place out since it is literally around the corner from where we live. BIG MISTAKE! There were only two barbers who were currently working on a customer each when we got there, nobody else in the seating area. What I found odd was that there was no sign-​in sheet, nor were we greeted by them.
Nevertheless we decided to wait. 45 minutes later they finished the two haircuts a few minutes before, there were several people who came in and were greeted with «man hugs». The obviously regular customers went straight for the barber chairs and started to get their haircuts… by this time we had been waiting almost an HOUR!
I took my time walking out with my two kids and nobody there seemed to care, go figure. Revenue must be incredibly high from just the «regulars» since they don’t give a damn about new customers.
Protip: EQUAL customer service along with quality results= happy customers who will also become regulars and reference friends and family= $$$$

I don’t recommend new customers here!!! They make you wait for over an hour just because they don’t know you! All of their friends from all the barbers get there and get seat it before you (new customer) because their friendship! And that’s disrespectful to all new customers when they have been eating for over an hour! That’s not how you run a business!!! If they are your friends they should know they have to wait just like everybody else because you are running a business and they should respect that!

This is the place!
Chill vibes.
Games on the TVs.
Really good barbers.
I’ve only been cut by Jake and the guy on the right of him.
Both really excellent barbers.
Jake did his first undercut on me when i didn’t know and it turned out real real good!
**one flaw. parking.
But since the new buildings opened up across the street I just park there and cross the street.

During the week it’s a hit and miss place as far as waiting. My recommendation is make an appointment a day or few hours in advance. You have your choice 6 Barber’s and when they are cutting on all 6 the waits not to bad but the appointments will sometimes increase the wait. Once you find the perfect barber that fits your needs then your in and out in no time. The place may need a few more chairs but the two flat screens and music are the added benefits. The parking may be a little tight some times and that maybe the biggest draw back… but man up and enjoy your experience at American Barber’s!

Best place anywhere to get a nice clean cut! All barbers know their stuff. Highly recommended, friendly, fun, environment.

Have not been back to this barbershop for a year, I was updating a post for S&S barbers and remembered I didnt share my poor experience here.
I live in chino about 4 miles away from this shop, started coming here because my other shop KAILE doesnt have enough barbers and waits are usually over an hour. Came in the first couple of times and they did a good job on my boy and I. Waits werent too long and they have several barbers. We stopped going to KAILE
Well, one day we show up on a tuesday evening there was 3 barbers not that busy. My son and I are the only ones waiting for about 45 minutes, were next one of the owners had already acknowledged that we were next. Right before he finishes with his customer one of his buddies walks in greets him and asks if he was busy. He says no problem Ill do you next.
He proceeds to allow the guy to take our spot. I said I thought we were next, he says dont worry one of the other guys will help you right now. I was pissed I told him never mind my boy and I walk out.
My 8yr old asks why we left. I said when someone disrespects you like that you dont stay behind and give them your money son. There are plenty of businesses out there that will appreciate your business. We never went back. Business is business if your homies are going to pay your bills more power to you.

American barbers is a very friendly barbershop. Everyone who works there is very courteous and makes you feel like your at home and hanging with friends. All of the barbers are very good at their craft and I would and have recommended American barbers to family and friends. I would not go anywhere else… period!!!

Great place to get your hair cut. They helped me pick out a different style, been wanting to change for a while. The place is crowded, and most people seem to schedule appointments, so I’d call ahead of time. If reviews complain because the place is crowded, isn’t that an indicator of a good barber shop? Again schedule an appointment and you’ll be fine.

This is a guys guy barber… a mans man barber… this place is owned by 3 top notch experienced barbers and they only charge $ 13.75 for a simple cut! Wow! They take their time and attention to detail usually 30 minutes at least to get your hair exactly the way you want it and to their perfect liking. I was referred to this place by a few close friends and have been over and over again ever since for a few months now. Claudio, one of the owners, is the best barber and coolest guy I have had before. Their relaxed, friendly atmosphere is very welcoming. When people come in the door they say hi to every hairstylist in the room, sit back, relax and watch some of their multiple TV’s… make sure to bring cash because they dont take credit card!

A haircut is highly important to a man. Our haircut is what separates us from one another. The cleaner the haircut, the better the man carries himself.
I’ve lived in chino for over a decade now, yet I have never been successful in finding a barber that can both provide me a good haircut nor a good experience. One day about 5 years ago I noticed that a new barber shop opened up in our neighborhood called American Barbers.
So one day I decided to try it out! To my surprise the room temperature was nice! Usually when you go into a barber it’s either to warm or musky in there. On a hot day the last thing you want is to go and get a haircut while sweating. The staff all greeting me as if I were a customer of 10 years! I waited maybe about 40 min to get seated, keep in mind it’s a Friday afternoon. I was seating with a nice barber named Danny, he was SUPER courteous and friendly. Easy to carry a conversation with. I noticed all the barbers were carrying conversations with their customer. It’s nice to talk while your getting your haircut. When he finished (about 20 min later) he asked me what I thought. What did I think you ask? WOW. Such a clean and amazing looking haircut. He continued to ask me if there was any adjustments I would like. I said no! It’s perfect! The price of the haircuts is extremely good. Considering the fact that you really do get what you pay for.
I have been coming to American Barbers since then. This shop has everything a man looks for in a barber! I can’t stress enough how much I love the place! If you haven’t been, please do yourself a favor and give it a go. I know people who drive all the way from Santa Monica and Newport.
AMERICAN BARBERS, A++

American Barbers staff is incredibly unprofessional. I started out getting decent cuts here, but good luck trying to simply communicate with the staff. Most
are more concerned with constantly checking their cell phones. For guys who try so hard to come off as macho, why do they act like gossipy 7^th grade girls?
It gets old hearing the N word constantly flying around in both English and Spanish versions. The staff will also casually make homophobic comments, but then contradict themselves by aggressively hugging almost every other male customer before they leave. Get a room you guys! And try to sort out your self-​hatred.

Best place to get your hair cut. The guys at American barbers make you feel welcome. Traditional style of service, I’ve been getting my hair cut with these guys for 10+ years.
Stop by for a visit and make an appointment if your in a hurry.

Great place fast, clean, friendly and what a barber shop should be like. A place I’d recommend.

Laid back, great cut.12 bucks, not bad, I always give a 2 dollar tip as long as I don’t get cut. Highly recommend

I’ve been getting my haircut by these guys since Jr. High (10 yrs.) everyone here can cut hair… REALLY… everyone. Just tell them what you want and you’ll leave very satisfied.
Now… their «customer service» takes some getting used to… Danny might start taking to Claudio about a funny incident that happened over the weekend in the middle of your cut, or they might answer their cell and leave you hanging for a minute… or 5. It isn’t that they’re rude, it just a very laid back spot.
Long story short, you want a button down place with ambiance music and some college chick with red hair giving you a cut… GO THE SUPERCUTS! But if your a homie looking for a close, tight fade go to AMERICAN BARBERS!

This shop is very community oriented, with many regulars. I’ve seen dads come in with their sons, and guys from all ages. This is the type of place where someone comes in and greets each barber with a handshake, etc.
I’ve been coming here every now and then for over 2 years. It’s one of the few places that can do decent military haircuts.
My review, however, pertains to a bad experience.
Usually, I get my haircut from Danny. I always call in advance because it can get packed. My last time here I called around 11am expecting something later on in the day. Danny tells me he’s gonna take off for the day, but there’s an opening at 11:30. I then drop what I’m doing just to get there on time.
I get there a few minutes before 11:30 as he’s finishing up on someone. Soon-​after, some guy comes into the shop and greets Danny – I’m assuming a close friend.
As Danny finishes and is getting paid, I get up for my appointment and start walking towards the chair. However, the homie who just came in snakes my spot. What was worst about it was that Danny didn’t do anything to fix it.
I don’t understand the point of making an appointment, especially after I dropped what I was doing, to be overlooked. In my eyes, this was a huge slap in the face, and a major sign of disrespect and unprofessionalism.
Since then I haven’t bothered coming back and don’t plan to anytime soon.
This places gives great haircuts. Some of my best ones have come from here. They are great at what they do and I hope my post does not take away from that. I’m sure this doesn’t reflect the business overall, but I had to get my piece out there.
