Rinaldo’s Barber Shop

Love Rinaldo’s. Over the last 17 years I think that I’ve had my hair cut by most of the barbers including Becky (owner), Christy, Dale, Kathy, Jeff, Shea, and Wayne. Dale and Wayne and Christy are gone now. Wayne had an awesome smock and what a head of hair! It was like being transported back in time.
Jeff is my current favorite but Kathy and Shea are good too. It’s hard to get a bad haircut there now that Dale’s gone (just kidding Dale — most of the time you did ok and I learned a lot about growing garlic from you).
I only had one slightly negative experience and that was the time that they were kind of busy and I was waiting for a while and noticed that neither Becky or Christy were taking customers even though they were standing by their chairs. Later as my hair was finally being cut by someone else (probably Dale going on about his garlic festival) in walks Graham Spanier and it looks like Becky and Christy were waiting to do his hair — what it takes two of you to do the President’s hair?! I have to admit that guy did have nice looking hair. That is all.

Really nice barber shop. Visited campus on a busy day but only had to wait about 20 minutes because they had a bunch of cutters working. The owner, a female (not Ronaldo) took care of me good.

Quick and friendly service. Peak times have a wait but usually its not too bad. If you go around 11 or 3 its usually pretty smooth sailing. They are very friendly and do a great job. I get my beard trimmed and it comes out with crisp edges, no mess, and fairly reasonable on the wallet.

One of the better barbers in State College.
I went here frequently as a student and they’ve never disappointed. It’s the same people working there every day and they’re all really nice and attentive to detail. Also, since they’ve been working there a while, they pay great attention to detail. I wouldn’t say I prefer anyone over other just because I’ve gotten my hair cut by all of them before.
Make sure you don’t come during peak hours such as lunch or right before they close. There can sometimes be a wait around 15 – 20 min.
Also, when I went, they only take cash as well. But that’s nothing really new for barber shops.

Stumbled upon this place when I was looking for my first haircut freshman year. It remained the barbershop of choice for the rest of my years here. Old school feel to it. Still use the hot shaving cream and razor for the back of your neck.

One of the best Old Fashioned Barbershops I have ever been to. As a recent PSU alum, I now live in the Greater DC Metropolitan area, and I have taken advantage of every trip up to State College to get my hair cut there. They still use hot shaving cream on the back of the neck and an old fashioned straight razor to clean things up. All of the staff are very friendly and outgoing. Highly recommended. Men’s haircuts go for ~$ 15
