Reviews
Premium service from real professional barbers. Not inexpensive but less than a salon or non-traditional barbershop prices for great haircuts. San Marino community customers can be an interesting mix too, not found elsewhere in San Gabriel Valley.

This barber shop is staffed with highly skilled barbers interested in doing great work. No worries about having to hear barbers trying to out cool one another or their low brow, sophomoric chit chat you hear in SO many other places in SG Valley. Easy 5 stars for Oak Knoll!

Best barbershop around. Been coming here for over 30 years. Jose has been a great barber and always taken care of me. I'm very picky about my hair and if Jose is not available Evita is great too! Highly recommend.

After trying a half dozen shops I finally found Oak Knoll and Evita. She and her cohorts are superb barbers. She treats her customers as friends, and they keep coming back. I recommended her to a neighbor whose husband is moving ever deeper into dementia. When he could no longer make the trip to San Marino, Evita began going to his facility to care for him. That kind of caring is rare, and it speaks loudly about the spirit of Oak Knoll Barber Shop.

Step back in time and have the masters cut your hair. Evita, Jose, Art and others are there to take care of all your haircut needs. From the hot shaving cream and straight edge razor to the finishing touch of the massager - always a great experience at a fair price. You got to check this place out.

This barbershop offers terrific hair cuts with good service. The wait time can fluctuate; but you can always call ahead. The shop offers four barbers who all seem equally talented. They take their time with your hair cut and you never feel rushed. The shop has a flat screen tv for your viewing pleasure. You have to park on the street and there always seems to be space. The price is kind of high for a buzz cut, currently $20; however, their quality of works makes it feel like your not completely overpaying. At the conclusion of the hair cut you get a massage on your shoulders. Overall, if your looking for a barber you can start going to regularly, then I would definetly give this place an opportunity to earn your business.

I have been coming here for three years without fail. Great shop with a great staff. Evita, Jose and Bob always do a great job for me. It's also nice to be able to watch a game or some news on the wall mounted flatscreen as well.

One of the last true barber shops. Such a comfort to be in. Ask for Evita or Jose. My favorite part is the mini neck massage at the end.

This is my barbershop. I love coming here. This is what men love about a good barbershop: the conversation, the courtesy and hot foam. Sports on the big TV screen and WIFI available. Great cuts for a great price.

I've been getting my hair cut at Oak Knoll Barber Shop for over 20 years and there are many who have been coming her longer than that. The shop is friendly and clean. There are usually three barbers working so there isn't often a wait. Cuts are great, chairs are comfortable and the parking is easy.

I've been coming to this barbershop since I was 3 years old. There is something to be said for familiarity and comfort when someone is cutting your hair. You want reliability and consistency as well as great conversations to make it an enjoyable experience. Evita has been my barber my whole life and is the only one I trust to do my hair. She has always been so caring and her family friendly business makes it the best barbershop in the San Gabriel valley. It has very affordable pricing and with it's remodeled interior it is a very enjoyable experience to get your hair cut. Plus if your lucky Evita will throw in a free shoulder massage at the end!

One of the last true barber shops. Jose is a real barber and is a master at his craft. when you walk in this shop you'll notice its very old school with modern amenities (flat screen!)
If your looking for a vintage cut, this is the spot. They still use old school straight razors!

I've been going to Oak Knoll Barber Shop for the past 5 years. Evita is fantastic! I've never received anything but a terrific cut from her. This is the way barber shops used to be (except now with a 42" HD TV) great service, great atmosphere, and the price is beyond reasonable. Say goodbye to $30 and $40 haircuts!
