💈 Relax & Forget Your Worries With This Tip Top Barber Shop Uptown Service: Haircut, Style & Massage

💈 Relax and forget your worries with this Tip Top Barber Shop Uptown Service: Haircut, Style & Massage in Whittier, California!
Whittier is where Del Mar grew up, and he remembers running around Uptown Whittier as a kid. When he ditched high school, you would find him spending all day in Uptown Whittier at the bookstore and record store. Music is one of his passions as is evident by his extensive vinyl collection 🎶
Barbering always stood out to Del Mar because you could make an honest living and be yourself. So when he was 19, he went to barber school and he became licensed as a barber 8 years ago.
Del Mar describes Tip Top as a neighborhood barbershop. He has been working at Tip Top since 2017 and is the Shop Manager. His hope is that everyone who comes to the barbershop can relax and forget their worries for 30 minutes to an hour. There's no TV in the shop, just music and conversations.
The friendships built over the years with patrons is what Del Mar loves most about barbering. He's met many good friends at the barbershop who he considers his brothers. Del Mar says, "It's really great because it's more than just at a professional sort of level, it comes out of love.” 💈❤️
One memorable moment at the shop was when a gentleman brought in his father for a haircut and shave for his 100th birthday❣️🎉🎂🎊
✨ His life advice? "Try to find what makes you happy." He adds, "We live a short life, and we got to enjoy it while we're here.” ✨
Del Mar feels very fortunate to have found what makes him happy at a young age, knowing early on that barbering was the path he wanted to pursue.
In 2012, Dré Perales founded Tip Top Barber Shop in his hometown of Whittier, California.
After nearly a decade working as a tattoo artist, Dré wanted a change. A conversation with his longtime barber friend led to an invitation to work at his friend's barbershop... and the rest is history!
Dré opened his first shop on Whittier Boulevard in 2012 and followed it up with a second location in Uptown in 2013. By 2015, Dré had started his own pomade company, beginning small and designing products for his shops. His approach was grounded in his passion rather than chasing the market.
As Dré puts it, "When you're passionate about something, people will align with you. If you're chasing the money, you're not aligned with the people; you're aligned with your pockets.”
The style of Tip Top Barber Shop is very influenced by American tattoo art which is what you'll see on the walls. "A lot of this is hand-painted, either by myself or other artists I collect from so 90% of everything in the shop is original," Dré explains.
When it comes to music in the shop, they have everything from The Clash to Willie Nelson. They love it all 🎶
What truly makes Tip Top special is the people who work here. Dré feels "Everybody here brings something to the table."
✨ Life Advice: "In order to really be successful, whatever you do, you got to be part of the community that you want to grow in." He adds, "Your biggest supporters are your friends.” ✨

Finally, we are back after some editing delays! It was wonderful to meet everyone at Tip Top in Uptown Whittier, California 🙌🏼 Thank you so much Dré, Karen, Del Mar, Squints, Joaquin, & Elvis for all your warm hospitality❣️

[@rocon86]

Delighted Harry you have sorted out the issues you have been having. Looking forward to more of your relaxing videos, they are brilliant 👍.

[@gregft1979]

Thanks Harry! Hopefully you won't come across these time consuming editing issues. Worth the wait on our side :)

[@mariamarzullo4400]

Great to see u back . Nice haircut. There is a lot of background noise.

[@jerzam3989]

Harry, thanks for putting me to sleep nearly every night. I always want to fall asleep as I get my haircut, and now I can.

[@rumbala3225]

I see gaining some length, incoming shave video!! And amazing job per usual!!

[@dougsmith3353]

Always a good sign when a barber starts out with a comb and scissors!

[@catalinaortoljo2821]

Not only is this, in my opinion, the best haircut you've gotten, this is the best your hair itself has looked! Very healthy and shiny.

[@hanasha6666]

Once you sit down in Del’s chair you just know you’re in good hands 🙌 I’ve been going to tip top for the last 8 or so years and there truly is not other shop like it. From the atmosphere to just the shop talk they always make you feel welcome and like you’re part of the crew. If you’re ever in Whittier stop by and catch a fade just don’t be a lame 💪🏼

[@xClunky]

My dude is an absolute master craftsman and the cut is a masterpiece

[@Dogfish1975]

Back to the basics no frills barbershop. Excellent. Need more.

[@robnicholson4942]

Wow. What an excellent technician. Careful, precise and thorough in his work. Such skills. Thanks to him and you Harry.

[@SaulAguilar.]

This guy means business. Classic haircut, massage afterwards to help the client. Great video

[@kyleknifsend2055]

As a Barber myself, I really appreciate the attention to detail but at the same time swift, and not many wasted movements. Next time I’m in LA going to have to check them out!

[@Mattthew1]

This guy was awesome. This is definitely my favorite Harry haircut of all time. From the service, to the barbershop layout and the haircut itself was excellent. Shoutout to this barber what a legend 💈

[@mgthebarber]

Best haircut Harry has ever had and the best he's ever looked! I'm a barber and I've always thought if Harry ever came in my shop I'd give him the businessman's taper just like he got in this video. Great work, Delmar! You're a master of the craft.

[@andrewfuimara6802]

We’re. Are you. Go next.

[@peterdrogos942]

I’ve seen most (all?) of Harry’s cuts, and I think this one is my favorite. A really nice cut with close attention to detail. Nice work, Delmar.

[@judithbreastsler]

this guy's technique is gangster

[@Various-Hilarious]

I see what you did there 😂

[@omtatsatification]

Whats this got to do with gangster. Get a life!

[@intunewithcars9484]

he prob is a gangster pmsl

[@droopy562]

It’s Whittier lol

[@TangentialShark]

Wow, I've been watching Harry's videos for about 2 years now and never once imagined he'd make a stop in my neighborhood. This is awesome.

[@gmark2163]

One of your best hairstyles. His confidence in his craft is impressive!

[@justalittletrt4670]

Definitely a nice touch when a barber cleans up ear hair and gives a little massage. As a customer little things like that keep us coming!

[@import271]

This guy threw in the razor in so fast, zero fear. What a champion

[@Xmas_life4u]

This gentleman knows his art. Great video Harry!

[@dmrant]

What an asset to his craft. This haircut is up there with my other faves: Gio's Chop Shop, Seongu Barbershop, Elizabeth's Barbershop, Okid Barbershop. Love the interior of Tip Top too. Good job Delmar.

[@arimadx]

Just randomly had a barber shop video in my recommended feed and now im going down the rabbit hole 😂

[@QueenJaneway]

Welcome!

[@californiography]

That’s my barber!! 💈 🔥

[@droopy562]

[@wtm1]

A real pro, great haircut and experience, thank you for sharing.

[@adambreslow6721]

This barber is all business ! Great haircut

[@johnlevisky2209]

Delmar in action, the inspiration for my “tapper fades”. Beautiful barbershop!

[@kienan2628]

This is probably the best cut I’ve seen on the channel. Master at work.

[@rjcarter2904]

What an excellent haircut and style. Delmar is a great barber. When he was doing the shear work at the beginning, I thought he was going to do a ducktail. That would have been awesome! But the taper is great. And he did a perfect job on the top and sides.

[@paimanish]

40:30 Swift, sure and minimal movement preparing the straight razor. One of the smoothest i have seen on this channel.

[@cookymonstr7918]

Real pleasure to observe someone who knows what he's doing.

[@thesack1103]

This is now one of my favorite haircuts on your channel! This barber is amazing! Hoping for a shave! 🤞🏻

[@HairCutHarry]

Great to hear you enjoyed this! We agree, Del Mar is awesome 💈🙌🏼 Stay tuned - the shave video will be coming next 👍🏼

[@pedrom1619]

Instant classic ! 👌🏼

[@stevenfrost6441]

Whittier, CA, former hometown of 37th President of the United States, Richard Nixon. Great Barber, Classy Shop and a Premium Shave Harry! Outstanding camerawork and editing as well! ♥💈👍

[@blisshavenfarm1427]

Dude owns the space he occupies that's for sure. Love the confidence

[@Mviolets26]

Ah Tip Top! I remember watching the Lyle's Barbershop video where they used the pomade (im sure it was used in many other videos too!). Cool to see where it started from - Another great video!

[@Beaunafides]

This guy is an artist

Dude was a perfectionist but it came out good

[@movementii]

I remember Wendy from Montana mentioned to you in one of your older videos that the original owner of her shop would use one massage tool in each hand, this is the first time I get to see that! Awesome!
