The Checkmate Barbershop is a well-known place with a clean and vintage vibe. Customers praise the professionalism and courtesy of the owner, Martin, who remembers their preferences and understands requests well. He is very skilled, especially with difficult haircuts like a first haircut for a 5-month-old baby, turning out better than expected. The shop is well kept, modern, and offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with good music, free cold drinks, and a welcoming environment free from loud music and smoke, making it suitable for families. Martin creates a comfortable experience by listening carefully and styling hair to meet each person's wishes. The shop's overall atmosphere is enjoyable, and many clients plan to return because of the quality cuts, friendly service, and genuine approach.
Adam knows what he is doing! I'm 47 years old and my first barber, up to my mid 30s, would use a straight razor to do touch ups. I thought using a straight razor was a lost art! I got a great cut and had a nice conversation with him. The prices are market average, but rest assured you are getting a proper cut.
This barbershop in Montebello has everything you want — plenty of parking, a great vibe, and decor that feels both stylish and welcoming. Martin is skilled, professional, and knows his way around a classic cut and style. The music is always on point, too. Definitely worth checking out.
Martin did the first haircut for our 5 month old. I understand that giving a baby a haircut is very difficult. Martin is very skilled and experienced that the cut came out better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend him as making him your barber. The shop is well kept and professional.
