Boris has been my barber for over 10 years and he is such a stellar Barber with his skills, execution and most importantly being such a personable human being because as soon as you sit on his chair he makes sure you are comfortable and love to talk about his passions through music, wellness, travels and about his craft: cutting hair. Also, his prices are fair especially with the inflation we are going through in LA and its shop has parking spots in the back which it's very convenient.

Boris Master-Fader Barber - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been trusting Boris with my hair (and beard!) for so many years that at this point he might actually know my face better than I do. I first found him on Yelp at his previous shop and immediately became that person who follows their barber wherever they go--no regrets. The man is consistent. Always a great haircut, always walking out looking sharp enough to pretend I have my life together. Bonus points: the music is always on point because Boris is also a legit music producer and DJ. There's something very comforting about getting a fade from someone who actually knows what a good fade sounds like. Booking is super easy with his online system, which means no awkward back-and-forth texts trying to negotiate appointment times. I'll keep coming back as long as he keeps making me look this good. read more

Been going to Boris for over 5 years. He truly is a master barber. Great service, great personality and awesome vibe.

The way I look at it, you can either pay: *** $16.50 for an $8.00 haircut at SUPERCUTS - that looks clean for only 1 week. or *** $35.00 for a $100.00 haircut by Boris - that retains its style for at least 28 days. I went to Boris the first time three years ago when I called up Floyd's 99 barbershop on Melrose and asked the receptionist if she had anyone from New York. She dropped Boris' name and right away I trusted his background knowledge for modern day-trendy looks. Familiar with all of the New York terminology I grew up with and without second guessing, he knew about the large variety of styles that I like to change up with every haircut: tape-up, blow-out, messy, fo-hawk, mo-hawk, slicked back mafioso, the list goes on... I don't go to see Boris any day of the week, I like to save it for a Friday morning, when I got a: fine date, put on the fre$hest clothes and get my car washed at the Burbank Pit Stop. He's an artist and I can bring him a picture of any kind of hairstyle to match, I usually pick a film, like Fight Club. He understands how styles fit your personalized head shape/hair patterns and works quickly without taking a second look at the photograph. Boris is a cool cat with an old soul that's easy to talk to and has awesome taste in music that he provides for the entire shop. Not to mention that the guy hooks it up with the coolest, most professional neck/head massage at the end of the cut and shapes facial hair with his improvisational talent in 5 seconds. Summing it up, after leaving Boris' shop, I feel like a G and girls stop me where ever I go to tell me that they love my haircut. Looking forward to many more years of $taying Fre$h. Boris, you are the Master Fader and you wear the badge well. Much Love and Respect Brotha. ~Gabi Du3 et Gud! read more

Boris Master-Fader Barber - Boris always perfects the haircut to the demands of the roles I play in Theatre. - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Boris is one of, if not the. Most talented, kind, considerate and, well, talented, barbers that I've ever had the privilege of getting my hair cut by. I'll list three reasons. 1) I have hair issssssues. I had surgery on my scalp a few times and now have both some areas that will never grow back, and other areas that go through spurts of blemishes that leave me very uncomfortable and self-conscious about getting a haircut. Boris was not only kind-looking enough for me to feel comfortable telling him about this, but he listened, while doing superbly (more on this in 2 and 3). 2) Boris cut my hair low and it looks fantastic! In the past, I've had barbers cut my hair at a length that I didn't think was short enough, but I felt that if it was cut too low they'd mess it up and have me walking around with ugly visible blemishes on my head that would take a while to go away. He cut it short, I trusted him to do so, and my hair now looks, in my opinion, the best it ever has!!! Shortness, imperfect scalp and all!!!! 3) without even asking, while doing a shave (which smelled, felt, and looks fantastic!) he basically treated some of the blemish areas that I was most concerned about going into his seat. The dude is fantastic. So, if you're looking for a barber, I'd say look no further. I won't. He made me feel comfortable, valued, and like I got more than if bargained for. I'm pretty confident that if he could do it for someone with issues like mine, that he can do the same if not far better for those with more perfect looking skin & scalps. Did I mention he inspired me to write one of if not my very first Yelp review! The guy is Magic!!! read more

Boris Master-Fader Barber - Awesomeness (minus the bad pose) Brought to you by Boris! - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First haircut here last night - I've found my new barber. Boris is the man. Meticulous fade - i don't think I've ever had someone pay such close attention to this part of the haircut - and fixed up my hair which had not received a decent cut in months. I didn't actually know exactly what I wanted at first but he made some great recos. Repeatedly checked in with me on length, style etc to make sure I felt good about it. Shop: Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere at the shop, no pretentiousness, unlike other spots in the area. read more

Jman here posting about my man Boris. I was doing research with my partner in crime, Jman the 2nd. That's my man Jesse who also got a fresh cut from this barbershop. I had to stop taking selfies for 2 seconds because I wanted to write how happy I was with this cut. Where do I start? Oh wait I've already been typing for a while. So I guess I'll keep going. Boris is a great dood. Master at his craft. I actually called him Dr. Boris because he helped me figure out why I didn't like my current hair (texture/thickness problems) and then proceeded to fix him. I'd highly recommend Dr. Boris for anyone looking to fix that mop on their head. Man put my hair through surgery today and I feel great. Now where's my ice cream. read more

Wow. I am not one of those people who has had trouble finding a good barber in Los Angeles. That said, I never knew how could a barber could be until I found Boris. I'm so glad I wandered into his shop the other day. Calling him the "master fader" is actually sort of an understatement. Boris is an absolute perfectionist, and works tirelessly to ensure you have a no-line fade and look super tight when you leave his chair. I only hope that all of the other barbers who I love in LA don't read this and get mad, cause the truth is, as long as Boris's chair is available, I'm sorry guys, but I won't be comin' back! read more

Awesome job! I came here last minute after I found out my usual barber was gone to who knows where and not coming back. Found reviews for Boris on yelp and gave him a shot. I'm very particular about who cuts my hair and hate having to find new barbers. But, Boris did a great job and gave me a perfect, clean cut. Nice, easy-going guy who listens to exactly what you want. As a fellow New Yorker, it was good to have that east-coast connection, so I highly recommend him for fellow east coasters as well. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Boris fixed the chop job that the rookies at Bolt did to my hair. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took his time to do a great job. I found a new barber! Nice place, cool experienced folks, worth twice the price of Bolt. Oh yeah: it's only one block away from Bolt too. Time to switch ! Boris is great. Appointments are ideal. read more

I happened upon Boris walking along Melrose, as I was contemplating getting my hair cut. I'm thrilled that I did, because I am so pleased with the results. I mean, I received at least a dozen compliments from my coworkers that evening. He is precise, personable, and a rare find. I will definitely going back. Highly recommended. read more

I always look forward to visiting Boris, A++ guy right here! read more

Nothing but good hair days! After moving to LA it took me a loooong time to find someone who gave me consistently good haircuts. Now Boris has been cutting my hair for a few years. You can't go wrong! read more

Found Boris initially at Floyds after bouncing around trying to find a barber who could do a sweet fade. After the first cut I was hooked. Boris's shop is my little haven in LA and I come here as much for the quality of the cuts (which keep evolving as he gets to know your taste) as the quality of the company. Believe me, you will leave feeling like a king. As an asian guy, i would totally recommend the extra cost over any of the quick chop shops in Ktown. It might look similar for a day or two but just wait until it grows out. Then you'll see the work of the master. read more

Boris is a true "Master of Fader!" I'm glad his back in Los Angeles as I am a true fan. I get my buzz almost every week or two! Yes almost every week. I used to go to Eddies Barbershop, Shorty's and Floyd. But nothing compare to Boris personal touch to mens hair. He his precise, thorough, and perfectionists. I suggest everyone looking for a better barber to try Boris because once they got a buzz from him they will sure come back! His shop is @ Melrose District, a true art district retail area, as he even play cool eclectic music to relax and soothe your head. Boris is a true barber and highly recommend his 5 star service! read more

Boris is an artist of his craft! He is extremely experienced, pleasant and just overall great at what he does. Do yourself a favor and try him out! read more

It's been a couple of weeks since my last cut from Boris and my hair is still on point! For me, the true test of a good barber isn't just what your hair looks like fresh out of the chair but also what it looks like two weeks later. With Boris, you know your hair is going to look good from the moment you walk out the door until the moment you walk back in. There are lots of good barbers and stylists around LA, but I've been loyal to Boris for years now because I've yet to experience a more thorough, detailed, and consistent cut. The shop is chill - no gimmicks or product displays - and I usually send Boris a text a day or two before I want to come in. It also doesn't hurt that Boris is a super nice guy who can remember details from conversations we've had years ago. Simply put, Boris is the best and the only one in LA I truly trust with my hair! read more

Boris is definitely a master barber when it comes to precision and style! I've had several different hair styles and he nails it every time. The shop isn't anything fancy but everyone in there friendly. read more

Boris was great. Other guy at the front desk was rude. Wouldn't come back because of it

Found Boris on Yelp - was in town for work and in need of a haircut. I'm pretty particular to the type of cut I get and he was totally on point. Good conversation and quality dude. Definitely recommended and will see him again. read more
