Best Barber Shop El Dorado Hills: Barber Jon’s

Interesting conversations and great haircuts are never in short supply at Barber Jon’s World Famous Barber Shop.

Owner Jon Rivera opened his doors 19 years ago with one chair. Today, he has nine barbers and more friends in the community than could fit in his barber shop, which is also home to the Museum of Curiosities and Oddities — a collection that includes aboriginal shrunken heads, an authentic jackalope and the remains of a Fiji Mermaid.

Fantastic creatures aside, Rivera said his strong emphasis on customer service and supporting the community — he has donated to numerous charities, causes and events over the years — have made his shop a success.

He also credits God.

“I fee like God is the author of my life,” Rivera Explained. “Everything I have comes from Him.”
