The Original Clip Joint

The original clip joint is the best barbershop you can find in the San Gabriel Valley area. This place provides the community with barbers that are fully proficient at giving their customers great cuts, and has a lively environment full of sport memorabilia, music, and flat screens on every wall that usually have sporting events on. Since the clip joint provides great barbers to the area you can expect this place to be busy on weekends, but don’t be discouraged since most of the time every chair would more than likely have a barber behind it. When showing up on a busy day make sure you sign in, and if you want to skip the wait make sure to pay a few extra dollars and make an appointment in advance. Since I’m a loyal person to my barbers, my favorites to see are Karla and Saul, these two give ice cold cuts. I guarantee that when you get a cut from them you will be given compliments by your ex, baby mama, and future ex. Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed.

Great place to get a cut! Especially when they close until 10 p.m. Weekends are packed, but that’s a good sign. All the Barbers here are good, this is my #1 barber shop from now on. Give it a try you wont regret it!

Gave this place a shot, bad experience.
They do walk ins which sounded great at first. so they have you sign in this non organized sheet of paper
At the time there were maybe 2 people ahead of me max, then it started picking up, I noticed 3 – 4 people signed in after me they also didnt have appts with specific barbers, those 3 – 4 people were seen before me. On top of that
After those people that walked in, the barbers had «appts» lined up…
Overall: Theyre very unorganized with the time keeping
Its obvious that they lept skipping my name, maybe on purpose? Cuz i would see the barber look at the list, i sat next to the desk with the sign in just to test them, and yes they kep skipping me. i dont know why but yeah. This place is horrible.

First, let me say that I fell in love with the place the moment I walked in. The team here makes you feel at home with jokes, how they involve everyone in a conversation, and asking them what they want to watch on the t.v. Secondly, if its your first time walking in and you don’t know who to ask for. Trust me when I say, it doesn’t matter who you go with because you will be happy no matter what. And finally, I have enjoyed getting my hair done by Karla. Her fade is impenetrable, her line up is impregnable, and her technique is flawless. And if you dont know now you know. Thanks guys, everyone of you is the best!

Ive been coming here since my barbe-​ret has moved to this spot. But it is a nice environment! Everyone is cool and gets along well, i always make an appointment or at least try to because wait times do get hectic. But to all those negative reviews on time, hey it happens. Make an appointment! As for my baber-​et, her name is Karla always have gone to her because i dont have to tell her what to do to my hair anymore i just let her do her cause she gets down!

I have been coming to the Original Clip Joint for about six months now. Their services are nothing short of outstanding. I have been to several barbershops in the area, but none of them can compare to professionalism that Original Clip Joint displays. It’s nice to know that you can go get yourself a fresh cut and either watch the morning news or listen to some slow jams. Parents don’t need to worry about their kids hearing explicit language from the barbers or music being played.
Being a female it is difficult to go into a shop that is predominantly men without getting stares and feeling uncomfortable. I have had a few cuts by Joe, but Karla is my regular barber. Her cuts are on point, to say the least and she is super chill to talk to.
I am very fortunate that this shop is so close by, but in the event that I move, I will continue to be a patron of theirs.

The manager is great, but the barbers are really bad at their job. Only go there if it is your only option as they are open until 10 which is the only reason I went there.

This is the new spot in Covina to get a quick clean cut! This is my second time getting a cut here. Angie was my barber both times. She is quick, clean with her fades, and consistent. I’m pretty picky being that I used to cut my own hair for years, and I gotta say these guys know what they are doing here.

Before I start here is the breakdown:
Haircut 13 $
Wait time: 1hr 30min
Cash Only.
Unfortunately today was the last chance for this business. I got the worse haircut ever from one of their barbers. I’m not sure how the others could stand there and watch the subpar quality of work the lady was doing and be ok with her continuing to sub contract and damage their reputation.
Another reason I won’t be returning ever. Is that the last time I visited There were 3 people that cut in front of me. They usually don’t tell you if there is an appointment in front of you. And to be quite honest I think a lot of them are just friends and they allow people to cut in-​front of others. Nepetisum running rapid. At least that’s the perception.
The 2 guys that are always there do a great job but unfortunately with the other issues and this terrible haircut I got today it’s not enough to outweigh my bad experiences.
My barber didn’t even comb my hair, the sides were uneven. She used the clippers to cut the top of my hair when I asked her to take off more instead of the scissors. So now I have a weird line on the right side of my head and my part looks like the top of a roosters head! She did not take her time clipping the side or rear she was either in a rush and was just unskilled.
Their was too much distraction with buying food and not focusing on the clients at hand. There was more focus on burritos’ and coconut water from my barber then making even tapered cuts.
I’ve always given minimum of $ 5 tips or more but again I’m done!
I hope you can improve on these things and take this as good feedback to improve the service side.
Good luck!

First off let start by saying that this place is awesome! They are open from 7 am to 10 pm except for Sunday’s when they close early. This really allows even the busiest of professionals to get that much needed haircut almost at any time of day! Make sure to ask for Karla, she has been cutting my hair there since first discovering them. Trust me, I have been trying to find the right stylist for over 3 years now since my last one took off out of the area, and I finally found her! She won’t disappoint! So what are you waiting for? Go get that Cut!

First time here. Owner and associates do some clean fades. Brought my son here and was very happy with his cut. Would definitely come again. Check them out!

First time here, decided on it based on other reviews. In a nutshell, fantastic place. Bright, clean and very friendly. Jason was the man! I got a simple hair cut and he cleaned up my beard brilliantly! They were busy, but they was no feeling of anybody rushing, just a really great vibe. On top of that the cost was $ 20…amazing value. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, I will absolutely be back! Thank you Jason, you did a great, great job! :)

I Findley found a home this place is well recommend, every person In here can fade even the ladys.
Joe thanks for a sick fade I appreciate it brotha.

Came by due to the high reviews. I don’t even live close by, came by because of there so early business hour. Left satisfied with my taper

It’s been 5 months since I started coming to the Original Clip Joint and I have NOT been disappointed once. my fades are always fresh, my beard is always lined up, the shop is neat, barbers are cool and the environment is welcoming
I see all the barbers in the shop are good at what they do but the only barber I go to is Karla (Güera). she gets down at whatever cut I request and is a pro with the straightedge
the shop hasn’t been around long, but it all makes sense to why they have so many great reviews. the hours are crazy, but it’s no lie when they say they will be open from 7am-​10pm. I highly recommend this spot!

Si me gusta como se lo cortaban el pelo ami niño, pero hoy fui y no me gusto para nada, es la 5ta ves que lo llevo y se lo dejaron bien feo. Y le dije al muchacho y dijo que tal ves no me entendio bien como lo queria… para la proxima vez no dejo que el se lo corte. Fue el que esta pegado ala ventana, nose su nombre. Pero si pago 15 $ por un corte de pelo quiero algo bien echo! Nimodo ahora a que le cresca que el pelo !

Quality cuts at a good price! I visit «The Original Clip Joint» weekly and have had nothing but sharp cuts and a perfect beard line up. Another things is there hours! How can you complain about a barber shop that’s open 6 days a week from 7am to 10pm! Now I’m no longer stranded trying to cut my own hair! I highly recommend Albert or Karla either one cut my hair and they are awesome but from what I’ve seen all the barbers there are really spot on with there work as well! I’m very picky when it comes down to just letting anyone cut my hair but I’m thankful that I finally found the perfect barbershop!

Excellent quality care and customer service. I love their business hours. That flexibility is great news to me since I commute from far away. Thank you for the friendly and genuine service. Prices are also a great reason to come back.

First time visiting The Original Clip Joint with my son today. I decided to Unilocal barber shops that were in my area and of course this one stood out because of its great reviews. First thing that stood out when I walked in was the cleanliness! The staff was friendly and the barber that took my son was very patient. Of course it being my first time trying this barber, I was nervous; but my sons cut came out really nice and clean! I definitely plan on stopping by again soon!

Had an awesome experience here today! The barbers were super friendly and funny. Jason hooked my head up. I had never been to a barber before so I didn’t know what to expect but I was sooo comfortable and Jason did an amazing job and even did a design. whaaaaat? He got down. I will definitely be returning!

Came here, and asked for a low fade, and a trim on the top for my son’s hair. Simple instructions, and they messed up my kids hair. He used to have a full set of hair, and was able to pull off a messy look with a slight spike in the front of his hair, and now he’s almost bald, and too short up top! Worse place ever to bring my child! And the only reason I came here was, cause my sister’s wedding is this weekend, and she’s been so busy with last minute preparations that she doesn’t have the time to cut his hair like she usually does. And the worst part too is that they only take cash! Would rate them ZERO starts if I could!
