Hi-Rollers Barber Shop

Went in for a quick shave. Got nicked in multiple places, some so badly that my wife found blood on her later that day when we were kissing.
Maybe their hair cuts and beard trims are better, but for a clean shave, go elsewhere.

I love to go to the barber shop with the Anaconda when he gets his hair cut. Is that weird?
We actually went to his usual spot first, only to find it had closed early that day. Since we had plans that evening and his hair looked like crap, this was an emergency. I remembered there was a barber shop in the old Huntridge Plaza, so we cruised over and saw that it had become Hi-​Rollers, but any port in a storm so we strolled in.
Looked promising since there were three barbers and 3 or 4 guys in line, so we popped a squat and figured it would go pretty quickly. Never have I been so wrong.
I sat with a growing mixture of fascination and annoyance as one barber, who APPEARED to be about finished with his client, continued for at least another 45 minutes to individually trim hairs he had obviously already cut, with no discernible difference resulting. I have no idea how long the customer was actually there, start to finish, but at the end he was sporting a High and Tight that any Marine Corps boot camp barber could have delivered in 10 minutes or less. Still, he rose up out of that chair and swaggered out of there with the confident air of a man who really had it going on, so I knew there was more to this place than meets the eye.
And what does meet the eye is actually pretty cool. The deep red walls are adorned in a mixture of Day of the Dead and old school tattoo décor, and here is a dispaly cabinet with a resplendent array of pomades. I could almost smell the testosterone. Their copy of «Goodfellas» was playing on the television, and they could quote it almost as well as me!
As I came to the dawning realization that we were going to be there for a while — quite a while, I also became aware that I didn’t really mind all that much. I was becoming quite entranced with the banter between the employees and customers (no doubt somewhat censored due to the presence of what they mistakenly assumed to be a lady), and with the novelty of watching beards meticulously trimmed one whisker at a time.
By time our three hour experience came to a close, it had turned from an ordeal into a surprisingly pleasant afternoon. And the Anaconda was transformed from a musk ox into a pretty handsome guy.
Would return for sure, but will pack a lunch next time.

I always look for a new place to get a shave and I’m glad that I found Chris here. Attention to detail and his precision was phenomenal. Price point is great. Got here at 8:55am (opened at 9) I came in without an appointment waited about 45 minutes as he ooened and cut one other person’s hair but when I got in the chair it was a great conversation and relaxing 30 – 45 minute shave. Best thing was Chris listened to what I wanted before he started and did as I asked. All to often I ask Barbers for a specific service and they don’t listen or do what they want, I guess that’s why I don’t get my haircuts at one. Thanks for the great service Chris, when I’m in town I will make this my goto spot for now on.

Hi-​Rollers is one of the best barbershops that I have been to. The atmosphere is very relaxed and inviting, while the staff is outgoing and very accommodating. I have had either Martin or Chris cut my hair; both are very professional and experienced barbers. I would recommend making an appointment (Tuesday-​Thursday) since this spot is highly sought out. Walk ins are welcome but you may find yourself waiting over an hour.

I was going to give it a lower rating due to a 3 hour wait, but man was it worth it. I also found out the do appointments tuesday-​thurday. If you want a real haircut, this is where you go. Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. I get a gentleman’s cut, which can be pretty difficult to do correctly. Chris did what I wanted, to a T. He did all this without me showing a picture. I explained what I wanted and he nailed it. People always wonder about price at places like this. Twenty bucks? TWENTY BUCKS?!? The crappy great clips and auch charge 15+. If you like your hair, you will go here. All master barbers here. They also shace your neck and sideburns with a straight razor. Nothing better. He also shaved the line in my cut with a straight razor. Best in town bar none. Keep it up guys.

I don’t know what folks are talking about, we didn’t wait long at all. These guys know what they are doing and had great input considering my man did not know what he wanted. They helped him out, super nice and chill. Now he’s looking even finer than before! Thanks guys, stay classy.

I didn’t had a appointment but called the shop before I walked in and they said it’s fine and that somebody would take care of me soon, I was waiting for 40min before I left and nobody said Shit

Best. Haircut. Ever
Had Allen cut my hair for the first time and he did an amazing job. I’ve never had so many compliments after a haircut then this! He took his time to do a perfect fade and style the top. Will definitely be coming back on a regular basis.

Best barbershop in Las Vegas without a doubt. The barbers are very friendly and really take pride in their work. It’s true that the wait is very long, but that’s the price you got to pay if you want a really clean haircut, so for all you who like to complain and cry like little school girls this is not the pace for you, just go to greatclips and get your hair jacked up.

Saw Alan. Great place, great guys, great cut. Bring your cash though! This place is worth it to make a stop to the ATM though.

This place is terrible!!! We are visiting from out of town and my husband needed a haircut. So we decided to give this place a try. My son and I waited in the car. The shop didn’t look very busy so we figured it wouldn’t be a long wait. Well we were wrong. My husband waited for 30 minutes only to be told that they only took appointments today. Why would you let someone wait? Common curtesy would be to have said that the moment my husband walked in. So rude!!!

Im reviewing for this particular visit…
The guys and atmosphere are great never a down in that but my Bf and son had to wait over 2 hours for a cut. The wait was long enough for me to say screw getting my son’s cut and I let my guy wait for his… His total wait time was a little over 3 hours and he only had 4 people ahead of him excluding those already in the chair, I respect the fact that they take time to do everything right and make sure their clients are taken care of but geez 3 hours Is still quite some time we have never had to wait this long to get their hair cut before with them… I just hope they take into consideration that there should be an even ground between wait time and time in the chair

Great haircut, great barber. Stopped by before going back to New York City, strongly recommend. Might be a bit of a wait though…

This place is a joke and their system is terrible. I read the other reviews and saw how there can be a long wait because they don’t take reservations so I showed up 10 minutes before they opened. Me and another guy stood by the door waiting for them to open, assuming we were first in line. As soon as the door opened, 10 other guys showed up and piled in through the door and jumped in the seats. The barbers don’t care about first come, first serve and I’m not going to fight someone over a haircut or wait for 10 other dudes to get their haircut. I don’t know about you, but hanging out in a barbershop for an hour and half isn’t how is like to spend my time. I’m never coming back until they figure out a better system.
Maybe it’s not on the barbers, it’s just on the people they attract. People with no common sense.

This place sucks! Getting a haircut shouldn’t be an all day event… the dudes in there all gossip like little bitches they only know how to do 1 style of cuts… was there a few months back will never return when I’m back in Vegas… if you want a fade or taper look elsewhere these guys will eff your hair up!

Hey I waited 6 hours so everyone else complaining about long waits can STFU.
First off. Great atmosphere. And neat collection of stuff. The «RAD» movie poster was my fave item
Got there at 3:30.didn’t get done till 9:30 pm.
I watched closely on who did the haircuts and luckily I got Martin. Not saying the other guys weren’t up to par
He asked what I wanted and I pointed to the previous 2 persons that got his haircut.
I was really impressed with the attention to detail. My old hairdresser took the same amount of time on the fade but she used scissors. She charges 35 or 40 these days.
Loved the results. Not your regular great cuts haircut.
Never heard of the products but I’m gonna have to try them out. The stuff holds up really good.
Got a lot of compliments from girls about my hair. I’m 38 and the haircut drops off a good 15 years off my looks.
Yes, the long wait sucked but yeah results worth it. Gonna have to find the best time with minimal wait time.

So yes you may have to wait sometimes but it is never a letdown. You get a hot shave and a fresh cut, win win. While you wait you can flip thru a Playboy, a movie is always playing and there is no shortage of smack talk. No politics or religion here, it’s all girls, cars, guns, fights (legal or non), sports, liquor, tools, good fat to chew. Definitely an experience, don’t forget to tip like that one punk did when I was there.

Martin and his crew offer what is most likely the best haircut in Las Vegas. Be warned, however: you will wait three hours or more for their superlative haircut and styling. They do specialize in the «Side part» or «comb over» style, but I’ve seen them give awesome fade cuts as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

On 10/​28/​2014, I got the second worst haircut of my 62 years at High Rollers. I had been waiting to get my hair cut until I came to Las Vegas so I could go to the barber shop featured on one of the Pawn Stars episodes.
Before going there I washed & combed my hair like I like to wear it, so the barber would have an idea how to cut my hair. When it came my turn I told the barber what I wanted. Short on the sides, but not with white sidewalls & the top, short, but just long enough to comb good. The barber apparently attempted to give me a pompadour. When I left my hair was full of pomade & my wife laughed at how I looked, when she saw it.
So, we went back to our room where I washed all that goop out of my hair, but the pomade pompadour was just the beginning. When I tried to comb my hair as I normally do, I found there was no way to make it look good. When I went to another barber the same day, he advised I had a «curtain» on one side and a very uneven cut on the other. He said if he did what would be necessary to fix it I wouldn’t have enough hair left to comb. Without going that far, he did what he could to make it look acceptable.
It has been almost two weeks and I have to struggle every day to make my hair look the way I like for it to look. I’m in Las Vegas for three more weeks, and I intend to go back to the barber who attempted to fix my hair cut if my hair has grown out enough for him to have enough to work with before I head back home.
Never again will my shadow cross the door frame at High Rollers. Also, I caution anyone who is thinking of going there to beware. You may not get the hair cut you expect, nor one to your liking.

Hairstylists… they are hard to find… and when you find one… its hard to keep a good, consistent one. Lately, my stylist has been AWOL, and I needed a cut pretty bad! I had to find a place and QUICK! I was kinda nervous though, because there have been times I walked out with my hair butchered, and even one time bald like Mr. Clean!(True story!), just out of desperation to get my hair did, and I didn’t want that to happen again…
Warren P. had mentioned Hi-​Rollers located on E Charleston and Maryland Parkway to me a while back, and since we were heading in that direction, I decided to check Hi-​Rollers out. Next door to the Huntridge Pharmacy, Hi Rollers is definitely a hidden gem. Those who know about it know what to expect. I’ve been to Hi-​Rollers on three occasions, and I’ve been more than pleased each and every time. Love the vibe as you step inside, as if you went back in time to a shop of the 50s and 60’s, cool pieces from Martin’s personal collection and gifts decorate the walls (LOVE the Loteria cards and the Corona street sign which is Wifey’s maiden name and Martin’s last name?! Hmmmm… maybe they’re related???)
The foursome of Martin, Chris, Caynen, and Chops make up the team at Hi-​Rollers, with Levi being the shop keeper sweeping up, and making sure all supplies stocked up and replenished at all times. Being in business since 2010, these guys have earned a great reputation of being some of the best barbers in the business and it shows with each and every haircut. These guys even got their own sense of style every Tuesday and Saturday which are «Dapper Days». Yeah, they’ve gotten a write up in the Las Vegas Weekly, and were seen on Counting Cars and Pawn Stars, but after all the publicity, these guys still remain down to earth which is huge. This is not your usual «turn and burn» «meet a certain quota» kind of establishment. These guys don’t watch the clock. Instead, they’re busy chatting up a storm among themselves and their clients just like you’d see in barber shop style movies which ALWAYS makes for a great time. Just know that if flicks like Blood In Blood Out, American Me, Rush Hour or Goodfellas are playing on the TV, your haircut/​wait time will just take that much longer, but its all good. I’m sure if they had their own TV show it would be HILARIOUS! Like many say, its definitely worth the wait. Even the line out the door before they even open is proof.
Their hours are Tue.-Fri. 9 am-​5 pm, and Sat. 9 am-​4 pm (Closed Sunday, Monday and the first Tuesday of every month) and the best advice I can give you is get here early, and if you are #5 in line, you will have at least a 30 minute wait. (There are only four chairs, and four barbers) They do not take appointments or credit cards, so bring cash, grab a little bite to eat, and expect to spend a good couple hours of your day here. Another important thing to remember is to know who came before you, and who came after you. You don’t pick numbers, just know your order. You may move up a bit quicker if someone has a certain barber they are waiting on. Haircuts start at $ 15 with fades starting at $ 19 and includes a warm cream/​straight razor shave and a hot towel finish. This awesome experience is at least a minimum of 30 – 45 minutes and everyone I’ve seen walk out after being cut is totally satisfied. This is also your one stop shop for all your pomade needs to keep your wig tight where you can find top brands like Suavecito, Layrite, and Shiner Gold. Seriously some of the sweetest pompadours and side parts I’ve seen.
Fellas, if you’re searching for a spot that cuts, blends, shaves, and fades like nobody’s business, you may want to check out Hi-​Rollers. Highly recommended!!! ALOHA!!!
