I've been coming to this barbershop since 1999, and they've always been able to cut my thin, fine Asian hair really well. Their prices are solid for the area--around $40 for a fade and $35 for a traditional cut. George and the new barber both do great work, and it's nice having a backup barber when the owner is on vacation or out sick. If you have Asian hair, this is the spot. They nail those '90s fades, Edgar‑style bowl cuts, broccoli cuts--pretty much anything in that lane. Only downside is that it's appointment‑only, and the parking lot is tiny, so definitely book ahead and try to come during off‑peak hours. read more

Alfaro's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Torrance, California

Again, one of the "I have been past this place 100 times" and never paid attention to spots in Torrance. The shop is more old school and basic, which suits me just fine... it's comfort casual and not pretentious in the least. Bryan has brought his immense talents to the shop as the newest barber there. His attention to detail is acute and with him, he doesn't rush. He makes sure you are completely satisfied with your look. Bryan won't let you leave the chair until it is. Walk-ins are allowed, but you probably want to call ahead to make an appointment. Parking can be tight in this strip mall, so good luck with that, but do not let this stop you from giving Alfaro's a try! Oh.. CASH ONLY! read more

George is a great barber, very skilled and great conversations. He definitely can fade you up!

Very reasonable, great cut, and friendly service. Definitely highly recommended and will be back regularly

I've been getting my haircut by my good friend George (the owner) at Alfaro's for a little over ten years. George gives one of the best cuts in all of the area, and has a constant stream of very loyal customers that can vouch for that. The shop stays busy almost all the time (and without an appointment, you can sometimes end up waiting several hours), so call ahead and he'll do his best to fit you in. read more

I had been in the market for a new barber for a few months having lil to no success with finding someone of quality at a fair price. Alfaro's was recommended to me by a loyal customer and friend, so I thought I'd give it a go. I called in to make an appointment and seeing as how he's very busy, and booked solid on Saturdays, it shows that ppl do like going there. I don't care what ppl say, busy is a good thing. Saturday was my first time meeting George (the owner) and his first whack at my hair, so to speak. I can basically sum up my experience there in two words... Perfect haircut. If haircut is a singular word. Neways my search is over and I think I have found my new barber. Classics never get old, so if you into traditional techniques and some good ol' fashion "guy talk" I'd recommend giving Alfaro's a look. So if your in the market for a new barber I'd say Alfaro's might be your last stop too... just remember to get in line behind me though... read more

Definitely call for an appointment especially for the weekends. Walk-ins are generally ok during the week, with minimal wait. The quality and attention to detail no matter who is sitting in George's chair is bar none. You will get the cut and style you want. No problem. read more

This barbershop has been such a home to me for the past 15 years. I used to come in here crying as a toddler getting my haircut and my entire family and cousins used to come around this establishment growing up. George is a one-of-a-kind down-to-earth character you can't find anywhere else and to be honest every time I come home this place stirs some very nostalgic memories for me. Sure I've moved to San Diego and I've found some other barbers in L.A. but anytime I am seeking the sleak, professional, clean-cut look George is the man. He gets every detail right and sometimes when I'm having a terrible day a good haircut is the perfect boost of confidence and cure to solve those problems. Cheers George. read more

I don't do reviews but this man is a local legend and deserves more respect for his craft, i guarantee you, he fades with the best of em.

I have been getting my fades/skin fades/steps from George since I was 7 (now 27) when Mr. Michael owned that barber shop and George just worked there...George is a cool dude. Old-fashioned barber shop where u can just go to and just talk, chill hang out..George even tought me how to cut my own hair thats why I go there once in a while now...HE IS A BUSY DUDE...He even has an appt book that is packed...Best to reserve a spot if you want a fade or a good haircut. HE NEVER MESSES UP and has perfected the skinfade since I was a little kid. read more

This is simply a great place to get your hair cut. Owner/Operator George pays close attention to detail and appears adept at whatever style / cut you are seeking. This is from my own experience and watching folks from business men to youngsters come and go satisfied. George is about as down to earth of a guy you'll ever meet. Regarding the guy below criticizing George, I don't get it, maybe he's a sociopath or something. I'd kinda prefer he stays away - LOL. read more

It took me months to find a great traditional barber shop in Torrance. Every haircut I have gotten here has been done with care and precision. No matter how many people are waiting, he doesn't rush and cuts it exactly the way you want it. Recommend calling ahead for an appointment because his days and weeks fill up fast. read more

I'm sad that my young son had to witness such rudeness and disrespect toward his mom. Arrived around 3:20 pm this past Saturday, haircut for my seven year old son. My foot was not even in the door when an older man said " Are you in the book?" He didn't say hi nor asked whom or how many people needed haircuts. He held up his little book and said he could not take us if we were not in the book (there seem to be only about 4 to 5 names listed). There was no one waiting and had only one client on the chair cutting his hair. After this rude man practically shut the door in our faces I went to Del Wee Barber just a few minutes away. Del wee Barber had 5 clients when I arrived but they did not turn us away. My son got the best haircut at Del Wee Barber. Everyone at Del Wee Barber is very kind and they give great haircuts. read more

George has been cutting my hair for 20 years. Enough said. Love coming here. George is a very funny guy. read more

Went here for the first time. It's a great place for a hair cut. George is very detail oriented like how I am. Good place to go

Been coming here for 10+ years. Best barber in the business. If you want a great haircut and feel that old school barbershop vibe, this is the place to go. George cracks jokes, makes everyone laugh, and makes everyone feel welcome. Even when i moved 30 miles away, i STILL come back to get a fresh cut. read more

I moved 2 years ago to orange county and I still drive down to this place for a haircut. I've looked around the area and had to endure some bad haircuts. Haven't been able to find a replacement and probably won't be able to. I'll be coming back even though the drive is far. I get what I want in a haircut. read more

If your looking for a reliable barber, look no further. George gives the cleanest fades and haircuts. I drive 20 miles just to get my haircut from Alfaros, I trust no one else. read more

we r black, from the islands, and my son HATES haircuts....but once i take him to George is doesn't mind too much...and once he is in the shop, he is good.before i was committed to taking him to George,I took him to another "great" barber who frigging messed up my son's hairline, marking him awkwardly (high) for a 3 yr old???? i grabbed my child and stormed out of there, didn't pay them cuz they messed up, and went to George who cleaned up their mess! My husband is very particular about his hair cuts (which man isn't ...i guess) but once i started takin him to George, he LOVES gettin his hair cut there.if we go other places, it's only because of out crazy schedules! read more

I had literally been a lifetime customer of Alfaro's when I decided to grow out my hair. When it was finally time for a cut, I figured I'd shop around to see if there were any better barbers out around the Torrance area. There isn't. read more
