A wonderful barber shop. You never get messed up and such a great experience. Great price while getting a great haircut.

Been going here a few years, had my hair cut by almost all of the usual staff and most of the time it's a decent and affordable cut. Unfortunately, today was not such a case. I came in with no one waiting or in the chairs, and was passed off to a barber who had to have been in training or had no license. This young barber seemed unsure if he could even cut my hair when I showed him a reference photo (simple fade on sides, 2 inch off back, 1 inch off top). For 30 minutes he attempted to cut around my hair, clearly unsure of the tools and techniques he was supposed to use. Eventually, another barber took over and was explaining to him how to cut and fix what he had done- big red flag that a trainee was left out to dry with no support from the owner and 4 other staff that were around. When they finally let me see the results, they cut way too much off the top of my head, left me with bald spots, and the whole ordeal took 50 minutes. Will probably have to hide my hair with a hat for the next 2 months. Owner offered a discount because he could tell I was mad, but it shouldn't have gotten to this point. Support your new barbers and watch over them when they don't know what they're doing- forcing inexperienced employees into cuts they're not ready for is a failure of leadership and makes the customers suffer. read more

Warning It's an overpriced dead shop, that looks like it's going out of business. A sign in the front window that says "Need A Professional Barber" Sat in the chair and said this is how the last barber did it and they replied "if you have a barber you usually go to, you should go to her so we don't mess up your hair" Waste of time. They all have a guilty look on their face. Looks like a shady spot. read more

Just had one of the best haircut experiences I've ever had--huge thanks to Lisa at David's Barber! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. She listened carefully to what I wanted, made some great recommendations, and gave me a cut that was clean, flattering, and super easy to manage. Lisa is clearly a pro--precise, patient, and really passionate about her craft. The vibe at David's Barber is also great: relaxed, clean, and welcoming without any of that rushed or impersonal feeling you sometimes get at other places. If you're looking for someone who actually gets what you're asking for and delivers it with skill and care, book with Lisa. She's seriously the best. I won't be going anywhere else! read more

My usual barbershop has been a bust lately, closed twice when they should have been open. The second time it happened, I was pretty annoyed but luckily the other barbershop a block away, that I always passed by, still had their "open" sign on. However, when I walked up my heart kinda dropped when I saw their closing time was in 10 minutes - definitely not enough time for a cut. But I figured, why not try? I walked in just as their last customer was leaving and asked if there was any chance they could fit me in. Right away, Omar greeted me with a huge smile and said he didn't mind at all, that they're "always there to help." What a relief! When I sat down, I had to drop a minor bomb: I recently had stitches on my scalp and he'd need to be careful. Without even blinking, Omar swapped his comb for one with wider, duller teeth so nothing would snag. Seriously professional. He looked at a pic of my usual haircut and just got to it. Even though it was past closing time and he was probably ready to head home to his wife and their dachshund (maybe even chat about a new kitten!), Omar took his time and we just chatted. He was really detailed and kept making little tweaks to make sure it was perfect. Not only was the cut better than what I usually get, but it was also cheaper! The whole experience was just super comfortable, chill, and overall awesome. So glad I found this place in Palms. They've definitely got a new regular customer. Huge thanks again to Omar for squeezing me in, giving me such great service, and honestly, probably the best haircut I've ever had! read more

I've been going to David's for 2 years now and I've always gotten a great haircut, typically from David, Lisa and Mark. The atmosphere in the shop is friendly and the cut is affordable. I highly recommend it! read more

I told the lady i didn't want anything off the top and showed her a picture of how I wanted my sides. She cut the top too much and sides way too much. I wanted to grow my hair eventually so I told her i was going to grow it. She said ok and cut so much off the top and sides looked horrible. No AC and it was so hot inside. read more

Been coming here for years and I can honestly say it's my place to get away from all the bull while getting a fresh cut whether it's David,Lisa,Omar,or Mark it always good conversation with exceptional machine/ scissors skills definitely recommend read more

I've been getting my hair cut at David's for over 10 years now, and I honestly can't imagine going anywhere else. The entire team is friendly, professional, and clearly takes pride in their work. Whether you're sitting in the chair with Mark, Lisa, Omar, Erika, or David himself, you know you're in good hands--every cut is consistently top-notch. The shop has been a neighborhood staple for decades, and nothing speaks more to its quality than seeing longtime clients now bringing in their kids, 20 years later.

It was my first time here this past sunday great price and great vibe here . Hair cut Service was great

Great barbershop ,I've been coming to David since the age of 3 ...I've been to many barbershops and nothing compares. We all have a preference in the way we like our hair to be cut so communication has never been an issue. Great place very calm and chill would definitely recommend to anyone. Walk ins are accepted so whenever I can't make an appointment I just walk in and they assist me pretty quickly. read more

So I did a walk in which I always do, and this time the barber Mark who I had been going with from day one, had a guy in his chair, so told me he had a following customer after. So I took Dave, now Dave didnt completely mess up my haircut but I had asked him for a shadow fade and it wasnt faded in, mid taper and it was more of a low, just nothing that I usually get or asked for. The worst thing about it is that Mark took some random guy, not the appointment guy, 10 min into my haircut with Dave. Which means the appointment he said he had, didnt matter cuz he just took a random customer that came in, I couldve easily waited. Either way I ended up with a bad haircut, so I go in the following day so he can fix it, thinking he understood the situation. Nope he ended up charging me full price regardless. I spent 90 dollars on two haircuts in two days. Thats fine, its the last money they'll get from me, I thought I'd get a discount at least, nope full price to fix a bad cut. read more

Best barber shop on the West Side, David has been cutting my hair for over 30 years. Always friendly and professional.

If I could give him 0 I would. The worst barbershop I've been to. $35 for a beard trim. And he didn't even straight it up, didn't use a razor. And didn't even put the paper around my neck. That's BAD read more

Best hair cut of my life. Even let me charge my laptop. Highly recommend. My only spot in LA!!!

Took my boys in for a cut. I Asked how much it would be while making my appointment for 3 boys and myself ? he said total $80. When I get there I realize I'm short $10 and tell them only do the 3 kids I will come back next time for myself because I'm short on cash and need money to tip.... David says "just go now and pay next time you come I know you that's fine ".so I get my cut we are ready to pay and he goes ok $70 for your boys and bring back $25 (and tip I might add) tomorrow.. I'm asking him how he got to that total when just 30 minutes ago he said $ 80 for 4 people and the other lady walks out saying "you are aggravating him just pay what you have now and bring what he is asking for tomorrow" . either David is getting too old for his job and just needs to retire or he needs to learn to be a little nicer especially since we have been his customer for the past 9 years. Sorry David you just lost 5 clients plus all my Recommendations. Good luck read more

Julio is an absolute professional. My hair is a pain to keep tame and he did an excellent job. I'll definitely be back.

This is the worst haircut i have ever received. I came in for a simple cut and David continued to go shorter and shorter until i looked like a naked mold rat. Please avoid this salon at all costs!!! You will regret going read more

I went to just get an even out, and a line up. The barber basically didn't know how to cut my hair, and decided that evening out my hair was to cut the hair low as hell all the way around. When I first saw the cit I thought it was OK because he had kind of condensed the hair by patting it down. To my surprise when I got home to give it some lift by combing it out. I realized my hair was practically gone, and what had on my was fricking uneven!!!! They screwed my hair, its not fixable because they can't put it back in. You screwed me for my trip coming up, and I now have to wear a damn hat until Mt hair comes back, that could be months!!!! This place is usually a good call, but after this.... pretty sure I'm never walking thru there again!!! read more

David himself is a nice guy and gives really good haircuts, don't ever go to the lady. She left a bald spot on the side of my head and then started talking badly about me in Spanish only to find out I was fluent in Spanish. She made careless mistakes. Not trying to be rude but she ruined my hair read more

Been coming here for many years and always a great haircut. Now my kids come here too. Say hi to David. read more

I had buzzed my head a month ago. Therefore, there was not much hair to cut off. I asked for a low fade and got a high fade plus it nearly lasted an hour. From left to right, it was the second barber. I didn't have the guts to be critic about the haircut. Nonetheless, I will not be returning. I get a better haircut in bell gardens for 13 dollars. The drive is worth it from west la. read more

David's R Barber Shop - Fresh cut! - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been going there for years. The staff is attentive and actually cares about their cut- not just trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible to get on to the next customer like some chains. And you can't beat the price. David and his staff are always friendly and professional read more

Very bad. The worst. There is no pricing upfront. And when they ask for tip of a 35$ haircut, I said 10% but they charged 22% for tip. I did not check my credit card until I got home and wow it's a whooping 43$. read more

So I called the barber shop to schedule an appointment to get a hair cut and the owner David answered the phone . He told me to come and there is an opening to get a hair cut . He also mention that they are not taking any appointments today but if I came they have a gap to for me in . I drove and I came to the shop and then he told me sorry we are closing early today . I was like , why you told me to come then . She said ohh you took 10 minutes to be here and I'm late and they are closing early . So , this barber shop doesn't respect people time and doesn't respect his word at all . He is rude and speak to you like he is giving a favor to get a hair cut . At least provide people about a time they should be there or time you close your store . Be professional read more

Tbh, they're kind of rude and botched details of my hair cut. My barber was very interested in his conversation with his co workers and took multiple breaks in the middle of my hair cut to chat with his co workers or like go get some big dusty sign from outside (and not even wash his hands before coming back to my hair cut). They also pushed me back in line several times for their preferred regulars. My barber also was just staring into my eyes without speaking to me for really long periods of time. Just a super freakin awkward dude. read more

I've been coming here regularly for about a year now. It's a great simple cut for a reasonable price. Has its own parking lot with ample street parking and location is easy to get to, just off Overland. I would recommend this barbershop to a friend. read more
