Hummm...what an amazing find on Yelp! Barbers are a dime a dozen but an exceptional barber is like a needle in a haystack! Dave was extraordinary! Private, clean space...modern accessories and even a well stocked bar to accommodate the most discriminating taste to quench your thirst. I am so impressed that I may just make him my barber when I'm in Atlanta as I live in the northeast and travel a great deal. Great job Dave and Dave! read more

I came and asked if they take walk ins which they do but Before i sat to wait the barber at the moment asked me what i was in need for which i explained my hairstyle and he said he could accommodate me and do exactly what I needed. After waiting 30 mins for my turn the barber asked me again what I needed. After explaining a second time he said "wow bro we are not a hair salon... we are a barber shop." I have been to multiple barbershops in the past to cut my hair. It seems like this place isn't skilled enough to take care of most of their customers. read more

This is the response from the owner after my review was posted. Clearly unprofessional and that explains why the salon is how it is. read more

5th Ave Dave the Barber - Response from the owner. Clearly he doesn't care about the customer service he provides. - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

5avedave did a great job with my 4 year old cousin today. The shop was nice and open and very clean. Everyone in the shop was friendly and welcoming. He took his time and was very patient. The hair cut came out amazing too. I will definitely be bringing my cousin back for his future haircuts. read more

Absolutely fantastic beard trim and shave from Dave. I have some rough and coarse hair in my beard and he took his time making it look really good. Great job on the length and the shaping. Highly, highly recommended! read more

5th Ave Dave the Barber - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This barber is a solid place for a black man to get a haircut (I'm sure other races as well). The barber is a cool down to earth guy and the environment is very respectable. He knows what he's doing and it's full service (hot towels). I definitely recommend. read more

Do your image, self esteem, and style a favor and let Dave cut your hair. You wouldn't trust anyone less than the best with the first impression you make on the world. No one cuts closer, crisper, or cleaner than Dave. Single handedly gave me the best haircut I have had since the Pandemic and made me into a new man. If you leave his shop and don't get any compliments just know that they are to busy admiring and that's a fact. read more

Randomly came across Dave one night when I needed a cut before a trip to NY. He's very skilled and really easy to be around. He really takes his time and does a great job. I have difficult hair and an annoying scar and have found it hard to find/keep a good barber In LA that knows how to do a good cut. I finally found him! His place is on the 2nd floor of an office building, and it's very a private and chill/clean shop. Highly Recommended! read more

Dave is an artist with the clippers. His vision and gifted hands was able to bring my nature line up back to life. Exceeded my expectations with his comfortable clippers were. Easily can tell how invested he is to his craft. Conveniently located walking distance to the Crenshaw/Expo line. read more

Great atmosphere with outstanding professionalism, it's an experience to endure at 5thAveDave Barber Lounge. I would definitely recommend all to experience such great craftsmanship. read more

I had to switch barbers because mine moved to the valley. Dave did a great job, and gave me one of the sharpest line ups I've had in YEARS, beard included. I was a walk-in on a busy Saturday and still got out before an hour was up. Will definitely be back. read more

Couldn't be happier with the cut I just got. Dave is thorough and meticulous. You can tell that he holds himself to a high standard. He took the time to make sure all the small details were in order. He checked in with me throughout the cut to ensure I'd be happy with the result. Checked all the boxes you could ask for from a barber. Since moving to la, I've had trouble finding a good barber that isn't either booked for 2 months or outrageously expensive. Dave gives a great cut for a great price. Happy to say I've found a place I'll be returning to. read more

Came across Dave through yelp for a last minute haircut. Def talented. Asked what I needed done and went the extra mile. Also cool guy to talk to! Right on Dave! Forsure coming back! read more

Amazing, amazing experience! I'm a woman who wears a bald head and I'm very particular about it despite it the simple style. I immediately felt at ease and in addition to the great haircut, I had such a stimulating conversation ab everything from spirituality to diamond sales and reality tv. The kicker was the hot towel massage at the end though. Literal heaven and I'm glad I've found a barber who understands that part of he experience is the pampering and extra touch. read more

I've gotten more compliments on my hair since I started going here. 3 People told me its the best it's ever looked. Plus his rates are MORE than reasonable. And a he's such warm-hearted dude. So yeah...I'll be back. :) read more

Dave is amazing. No joke, bro is a saint. I was running late and he had already closed, but he answered his phone anyway and heard I needed a haircut that night, so he actually drove back to his babrbershop and cut my hair for like an hour, all of which was after closing hours. Besides all of that amazing dedication the man just cuts a mean haircut. Wish I would've taken a before pic bc my mop was lookin WILD, on god, it was frightening, but Dave got me lookin' straight and tamed that overgrown mess of shrubbery into a stylish and manageable hair-do. Prices are super competitive and you couldn't be giving your money to a nicer guy, who btw is about to start a family. On top of all those accolades, Dave is also one of the most personable, laid back, easy to talk to barbers I've ever encountered. I can't tell you how many haircuts I've spent sitting in silence, but you couldn't get me to shut up this time around. I dunno, he just has a very disarming, "put you at ease"-way about him and it's refreshing af. Take my word for it and do yourself a favor: see this man about all your haircare/barbershop needs, trust me, you won't regret it. read more

Dave is a great guy, incredibly attentive and a fantastic barber. He really takes his time and gives one of the most thorough/professional cuts I've ever had. Would give him more stars if I could. read more

This place was awesome one chair awesome hospitality accommodating on your time no ego all skill. I don't really write reviews but this one I definitely had too. Will be back shortly. read more

I started going to Dave about 4 months ago or so. I recently grew a beard and there has been no one that has been able to hook me up like Dave. He is open late usually which accommodates my schedule! Im not going back to anyone else. Great barber!! read more

Great barber! Interesting conversation! Left with a great cut and feeling satisfied. Will return again!

Where to start. Exceptional service. Amazing work. Great guy most importantly. Called last minute before he was going to close for a beard line up. He was very professional over the phone and told me he would wait for me which took about 20 mins for me to get down to him. Got there and very welcoming. Great service during. Great location on Melrose. Did great work on the beard lineup so far the best I have had as a lineup. Great prices. Very willing to cater to any needs and any time. Will for sure making future visits even though I live far. Recommend if you need a really good barber. Very hard to find service and a person like this in LA. read more

Just moved here in town. Looking for a chill vibe to get a cut. Randomly found this place and it's a gem. Dave has excellent customer service, precision, and his shop is mad chill. Highly recommend if you need a line up, tape, fade, or anything. read more

This barbershop is a gem in the heart of the diamond district. Took such an amazing time cutting my hair making sure everything was perfect and to my liking. He knows how to use a blade which is always a plus for male barbers. Definitely would come back - if you're debating on a new barber to try I highly recommend Dave! read more

What can I say great barber and dope location def would recommend this place for all your haircuts . I'm a musician always looking for a kool private spot for a cut found it! read more
