I was referred to this place by a friend who always had great hair. I met Erik here at the Culver City location and have had him as my barber for years now. He's always willing to work with me if I decide to change my style or try something new. He always has a good professional opinion and I trust him completely with my hair. They are a good bunch of guys I would suggest anyone looking for a decent Barber to give active barbers a try. I'm pretty sure you won't regret it! read more

Just moved here from OC, I'm used to my cuts averaging out at around $45. Came in here with a good feeling thinking it'd be my new go to spot and for the cut I received for the price I paid which came out to $83 it's safe to say that was my first and last time coming here. $80 for a cut is ridiculous and I hope they fix that because at the end of the day barbershops are suppose to help the community and by taxing your prices that high it's not a good look. read more

IF I COULD GIVE NO STARS THERE WOULD BE NONE! My son had scheduled appt! After checking in he was told to wait so he did about half hour goes by my kid says something to them and was told they did not have time to do his cut... SERIOUSLY! List that customer! Carry on with your nasty ways... GOOD LUCK! read more

Stumbled into Active 5 years ago looking for a good barber and it was the best discovery on the Westside for a great cut! Chino and Boom always deliver top notch service and get you right for any occasion. Any style you're looking for they can make it happen. Shop is always clean and maintained. Highly recommend. read more

Neck got cut by the straight razor after the first pass felt pretty rough. I felt the sting but had to ask after about 30 seconds of which I felt him rubbing away the blood every few moments. Would prefer he had said something first. Not sure if blades need to be sharpened or if the barber needs to do shorter strokes with the blade. Either way, say something if you cut someone. read more

Unprofessional and rude. I walked in and asked for assistance or direction on simply putting myself in line for a haircut. I was told that other barbers dont show up until noon, the time was 7:30am. I asked 3 times if I needed to put my name on a list and was treated rudely so I walked out. Aweful place... read more

Mad props to Steven! When he says he can fix a bad haircut, he really follows through! Just moved to the area and VERY grateful to have found a barber with talent. Active Barbers just locked in a solid new client. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

I had the best haircut at Active Barbers. I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in. The barbers were great and well spoken for, everyone got along great and I had great conversations with them. The barber who attended to me was not only skilled but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. The feeling of the shop was amazing, they would ask me what song I listened to and would ask me for recommendations creating the perfect environment to have amazing conversations and enjoy the grooming experience. The cleanliness and attention to hygiene were top tier,which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Active Barbers to absolutely anyone in need of a haircut or grooming services in Culver City. Whether you're looking for a classic cut or something more temporary, this place is sure to deliver an amazing experience. read more

My son and I have been coming to see Chino at active for years now and he never fails to leave us looking fresh and on point. Not to mention everyone is polite and professional. My son and I always have a good time when we go. We won't go anywhere else . read more

If you want a certain look or a nice clean haircut I recommend Active Barbers. I myself struggle to find a particular style that suits my appearance and unfortunately a certain style I think of I can't have due to the type of hair I have. However going to Active barbers they make the look I desired possible. The barber who assisted me, Chino, suggested a certain style that would fit the look I was going for and exceeded expectations. Would definitely go back ! read more

Yo I've been an OG customer at Active. All the way back to Rob and Steve in Santa Monica. SAL in CC and his crew give proper fades and cuts. Sal's is the cleanest and I drive all the way from OC for my cuts. read more

Came in last minute with no appointment. Didn't have to wait long at all and George took care of the haircut and beard ! Definitely recommend this place every one seemed friendly and welcoming. I'll make an appointment next time and look forward the next cut. Thanks guys ! read more

Always had a good experience in the Santa Monica location but literally got the worst cut of my life here. Be sure to request a specific barber that has experience there. They'll let any dumb scrub take you if don't book a specific person. Paid $50 to my hair hacked into a mess. read more

Recently had a bad experience here. Called in to make an appointment and showed up right on time. There's 3 people waiting as soon as I get there. 15 minutes go by and I am not called up. I tell one of the barbers about my appointment, and I am basically told that I need to wait until it's my turn. It's very inconvenient for me to show up for said appointment and then having to wait for 3 other people to be done before it is "my turn". Why even make appointments ? 2nd time something like this happens here. Definitely not coming back. read more

Used to be great. I've noticed that a lot of the barbers I used are no longer there. Last cut I was very bad and unprofessional. New manager / cutter person is rude to customers. read more

Great place to get the same haircut that everyone else gets. You know the cut, shaved on the sides and back, faded toward the top, and a flop of hair let to style and play with. If you want someone to cut your hair and leave anything on the sides and back, stay away. The barbers all look the same, and you will too when you leave here. I asked them to leave an inch or so on the sides and back, as I have curly hair that looks weird when it is really short, but fine after it grows out. After a while of snipping away with the scissors, he pulls out the clippers and starts fading the sides of my head. I am left wearing a hat for a month while my hair grows back out..... Thanks for listening. read more

Came in for a taper and lineup, Eric did not disappoint!!! Definitely coming back to him again. Rest of the staff were friendly too. Even offered refreshments. The place is cash only and they have an atm inside that charges a low $3 withdrawal fee so that's convenient as well. Great place and atmosphere! read more

Wait was incredibly long. The barber obviously didn't want to cut the kid next cause she sat on her phone for awhile almost waiting for another barber to finish to take the next person. Terrible customer service. She's also on her phone while she's giving cuts.... can this girl get fired? read more

Active Barbers - This barber literally sat on her phone texting for 10 mins when people were waiting in line. Very inconsiderate, - Barbers Near Me - Culver City, California

My son has been an Active Barbers client since they opened in Santa Monica and now with their second location I am most excited about the walk-in availability. It makes it easy to just drop by and get his haircut without an appointment, although I do recommend you have one if you don't like to wait. This location is much bigger than their first, they have a restroom for clients and water which for me is also a plus. My son loves the shoulder massage at the end of the haircut and I am just happy he looks forward to getting his haircut :) Something to keep in mind ... it is a cash only location read more

Booked an appointment for a Sunday. Reading lots of great reviews for this location and the one in Santa Monica so was anticipating some great experience. For a charge of $40 I expect pretty amazing quality. My barber took about 10 minutes and didn't really seem to put much effort into it. And I had to ask him to do more work on it. I feel like he was just phoning it in. When I got home I noticed that the back of my head had a a bit of feathery stuff still hanging and the top wasn't quite finished. My wife had to take care of the top and back with clippers and it took 5 minutes. Supercuts would have finished the job for half the price. Want to support local businesses but just seems like they don't really care. During the cut the other barbers were just sitting on their phones chatting. There was hair all over the floor but their phones were more important. Seems like it's all a ruse to get people to pay a lot of money. Definitely not going back. read more

I went in for a beard trim and shave with Fernando. He took such good care. Super detailed, cool guy. Reminded me why I love barber shops. Great vibes and solid prices. Cash only but they have atm. This will be my regular read more

The best barber in the area! I get my haircut only there. Call them to make an appointment because they are busy.

Very professional, clean and extremely good fresh haircuts. Excellent service overall would definitely recommend.

Angie is awesome! Great hair cut, and customer service!! She made me feel right at home when I sat in her chair. Definitely coming back just for her!! Thanks Angie!!! read more

The prices are decent and the haircut was decent enough. What bothers me is that the barber kept going over the same part of my neck over and over until it started bleeding. Now I'm sitting here in pain and my neck is burning like hell. I hope they disinfect their blades after each haircut. read more

I've been getting my cut from Sal for years. Best fades on the west side. Cuts are always consistent

Passed by this shop after hitting up Tito's tacos. I was in need of a cut and decided to give them a shot. Sal ended up cutting my hair. He did an amazing job. My fade came out on point, and my beard line up was just the way I like it. Definitely a great barbershop, and will be coming back for another cut. read more

Amazing cuts by great barbers. The place is very clean and nice. Feels like a real barbershop with barbers that actually know what they are doing. And to top it all it's right next to Johnny's. read more

Being from the east coast and relocating out west, finding a new barber was imperative. After trying all the overpriced spots like Baxter Finley, Floyd's, etc. I decided to give my then local spot a try. Everyone at Active is AWESOME and INCREDIBLE at what they do! And the pricing is much cheaper than places like Baxter Finley and other overpriced/overhyped spots. Going to Active is like going to to a shop you see/hear about on TV and in the movies - the atmosphere is a lot of FUN with a lot of joking around and just an overall good vibe - always with sports on in the background or some great music playing. I look forward to going to the shop every week for the atmosphere alone! I've been going to see Rob for close to 2 years now once a week (sometimes twice depending on the week) and he is an absolute BEAST with the scissors I am constantly stopped and asked where I get my haircut, so this review is long overdue. I cannot say enough positive things about Active and all of the barbers at both shops - Rob, Steven, Chris, Napo, Lou, Sal and everyone else at BOTH locations are all masters of their craft...and as someone that frequents both the Santa Monica and Culver City locations, I've seen all of their work first hand and can tell you that whoever you decide to have cut you up....you're in great hands. Really excited for these guys as they continue to expand their business and grow their locations and giving back to the community by creating jobs through local business. Cannot say enough good things about the shop and all of the barbers! read more

By far the best barber spot on WestLA! The location is super convenient. Shop is brand new and clean. Although I am a regular at the Santa Monica location, it's great that now I have another location I can go to when I can't get to want Monica. The new location had Lots of parking around the store. Easy freeway access so it was easy for me to drop in and out during my work break. Staff is friendly and funny! And most importantly the cuts are unmatched!!! The master barbers who work their really know what they are doing! I wouldn't recommend any other Barber Shop in LA other than ACTIVE and now with a 2nd location ... we have even mode options. Stop in and get the beard line up and hair cut combo... and ask Rob about the "Rob Roy Fade" read more

Lulu got down on a fresh fade! Great quality place overall. Always leave feeling ready to run all the errands I didn't know I had!

This is Active Barbers' second location, which is just as good if not better than the first! Super spacious clean interior, huge projector to keep you entertained, bright and open with comfortable seats. Ample street parking, but be sure to bring quarters for the meters. Rob cuts my hair, but all the barbers are polite, professional, courteous, funny and most importantly, know how to give a proper fade! I never have a problem getting an appointment, and my haircuts are always consistent and on point. If you're looking for a new and better haircut, look no further! read more

I needed a haircut on Sunday and every other place in the area was fully booked. Found them on Yelp, gave them a call and came in right away (no wait). This location is brand new so they have a pretty basic "waiting area". Steven cut my hair and did a great job, lots of attention to detail! Glad I found this place, might very well be my go-to place now. Cash only btw, not ideal, but manageable. read more
