The Gentlemens Parlor

Art always leaves my husband looking so handsome, theres usually a wait line but I think it’s totally worth it. The shop is unique and welcoming :)

Art is the best takes his time a true professional of his trade, clean shop good atmosphere good people

This place never lets me down and the customer service is excellent. I originally came here about 2 years ago and have always gotten my haircuts here since then. The atmosphere is great, the haircut is awesome and the friendliness of it is what ties it all together. Although I’ve only gotten my haircuts from Paul or Danny, it’s easy to tell each barber knows what they’re doing. You won’t regret coming here.

Well just got out of Arts chair for the first time! Excellent job Art you will officially be my Barber from here on out man! The atmosphere is great and the guys in there were absolutely real and down to earth! It is hard to find good barbers now days y’all, so if you are in or around the area be sure to stop in for a clean up and be sure to sit in Art’s chair … Tell him Red sent ya!!!

My son was scared to get his hair cut. Danny was awesome. He cleaned him up proper just in time for the holidays. Thanks Danny!

Family environment, everybody on point! When I moved I drove 220 miles round trip to get a cut, well worth the money of gas. Good job gents !

My husband went there last week to try it out after our friends told us to… when he got back his hair looked nice. then he showered out all the grease & you could see how rough and crooked it was. maybe the guy put it in to hide the mistakes… we won’t be going back.1 star for effort.

Best barber shop in town. The are very friendly and they make you feel like family. If you go in ask for art, the best, trust me

This is a great place to get a cut. Everyone was very friendly. I’m really picky when it comes to my hair and Art S. gave me exactly what I wanted. I’m definitely coming back!!!

Ask for Art very professional! He cuts my sons and my husbands hair! Perfect every time

clean shop. Great customer service. And very friendly staff. We’ve been coming here for 7 years and my son won’t go anywhere else. His hair is difficult to cut but Danny always does a good job .
Plan on waiting awhile. (90 minutes +)
They get pretty busy.

We are from Calgary, AB Canada. Heard about this place on Instagram. The pictures I saw were sharp! We can’t find skilled barbers like this in our city.
My son and I drove an hour to get here today. it was totally worth the drive!
20 min wait to get a chair. Not bad.
Awesome barber shop. Looks great. Daniel and Fred treated us as old friends. Which is a bonus.
But the way they cut hair they could be in an alley and sit me on a milk crate and I’d still go!
A Real barber shop!

These guys know what there doing. Art is always giving me the freshest tapers. All the other barbers are funny Af. I couldn’t image a better shop. Nice art/​pin striping. they welcome everyone. It’s like shooting the sh*t with your boys. As long as I’m in hemet I willllll never go elsewhere.

First barber shop I’ve been to in 6 years since I’ve had my sister cut my hair. She moved away so I was recommended to come here and I was hesitant because usually everyone messes up my hair the first cut. Right when I walked in I felt comfortable I was greeted like they knew me since I was born. Took about 10 minutes for me to be next wen though it was quite busy. While getting my cut the barbers were all getting to know me since they knew I was a noob. Can’t recall my barbers name but he was awesome his chair was closest to Fred’s. He did a fantastic job on my cut and he nailed it. The shop was also awesome I felt like I was in those old movies. Check them out!!!

I took my 10 year old there today. It’s probably the BEST cut he’s ever had. And that’s saying a lot. He won’t stay out of the mirror now. Lol! We’ll definitely be back! Thanks guys!

I went here twice & went to Paul both times for a shave. One word — ouch. This is not what a shave is supposed to be like. Holy crap. he cut the be-​Jesus out of my lip. And didn’t say a word. And I mentioned it at the time.
I’ve had enough shaves to know — cuts happen. It isn’t _​just_​that he cut me _​several_​times, but man, you think I don’t feel that? Change your damn razor man. Yer butcherin’ me up here.
And then to just let me get up & HOPE I don’t look in the mirror? Cuz I saw him look all panicked when I stepped to the mirror.
Not a good shave & not good customer care after. You eFed up; you shoulda just owned it. I won’t go here again.
I like Paul well enough. So I gave him 2 stars and not one, but — damnation man — you did me wrong.

This place is so effin sweet. Every barber is on point. Best Barber in Hemet/​San Jacinto

This is the 2^nd time i bring my son for a hair cut and both time we have had a great experience. The staff is friendly and they provide great service. Best barbershop in town.

Very clean barber shop. These guys know how to do a clean fade and a shave… they take there time so if you don’t mind waiting for little bit for a hair cut …

I have patronized this business many times over the years. I have had my haircut by 3 out of the 4 barbers that are/​were there. (I say this because only yesterday I had discovered that one of their barbers no longer works there.) I have never had my hair cut by the owner. Every time I go, there are usually several people waiting for him. Which strongly suggests he knows how to cut hair; and from what I have seen of his work, I would agree. As for the remaining barbers and their skills, I would caution those who are interested in looking forward to a classic cut and style. But before I continue on let me digress and talk about the shop in general.
The shop is located in an old mall; you can tell that the owner has taken great pride in making his shop representative of classic Americana style, with vintage barber products, pictures and iconography of that era hanging on the walls. The owner gets extra kudos for his choice of music that is played in the shop. He plays some pretty cool and deep cut rockabilly and blues. The customer service is pretty good. You are always greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. The owner is quick to offer you coffee and on occasion and ice cold beer, which I think is a nice touch. They offer straight-​razor shaves and use classic products like bay rum. They even run a massager across your shoulders as an added bonus once your cut is done.
Like I mentioned above, I have had my hair cut by 3 barbers there and in an effort to conceal their identity ill simply refer to them as barber A, B and C.
Barber ‘A’ gave me a haircut that was relatively average, something that you’d get from Fantastic Sam’s or Supercuts, despite giving specific instructions on how I wanted my hair to be. Unfortunately at that time, I wasn’t looking for just an average cut. On a personal note, with the strong emphasis that the shop puts on itself being a place that adheres to the essence and quality of what a classic haircut is, I was disappointed to hear this particular barber say that he wanted to return to school and become more proficient in women’s hairstyling. This is fine if this was a salon and their clientele included women, but it doesn’t, or at least none that I have seen come in. And if anyone knows barbers they tend to frown upon being associated with the likes of ‘hairstylists’ or ‘salon beauticians’ which made me question where his true calling lies.
Barber ‘B’ was last person to cut my hair at this place. A nice gentlemen but it is apparent almost immediately that his skill level is not that of the other barbers. I found my hair to be cut at different lengths and uneven. On more than one occasion I have seen him being assisted by the other barbers who instruct him as how to perform a skill. To be fair, I’m sure I have an odd shaped head which is all the more reason to find a barber who has the skill level to make my melon of head look even part way decent. Now you are probably asking why I went to him if I felt this way. It’s because I have grown fond of this establishment and didn’t want to run out of the shop when I found out my usual barber was no longer employed there. I figured I would give him a chance to prove me wrong, in a nut shell… he didn’t.
Barber ‘C’, who no longer works there and the one I always choose, was a very proficient cutter. He was consistent in his service and skill. I was always satisfied with his work. Any guy knows that once you find a barber you like, you will always want to go back to him. It was because of him that I associated this shop as being one of the top notch barbershops in the area and why I kept coming back.
When it comes to barbershops, it is nice to have a great environment and an ambiance to go with it. A decent level of customer service should always be expected but when it comes down to it all, a barbershop’s worth is found within the barbers who work there, hence, why I discussed about the barbers in such detail. If their skill levels are not proficient or they are unable to provide the quality they profess, no amount of customer service, ambiance or products they use or music they play will ever substitute for skill and ability. So with that said, do come to this shop if you want to experience good music, great vibes and awesome people. As for the haircut, I’d recommend waiting for the owner.
