I had unfortunately a terrible experience. It was my second visit & I left without a haircut and…read morefeeling like the owners thought it was okay to make me feel like a burden. I arrived on time and Zoe was finishing up another haircut. I asked to use the restroom & she said they didn't have one and that I could go at the pizza place across the street. I remembered from my last visit where care & detail was put into my cut that the next client was waiting around 15 mins & I figured this was just within a grace period window. I go to the pizza place and about 10 mins pass because I needed to order something and Zoe calls me telling me she's been waiting and we are almost 15 minutes into my haircut now and that they run "a tight ship". I was already feeling uncomfortable by the way she spoke to me on the phone but I went anyway because I had a positive first visit. When I arrived they both made me feel rushed and unwelcome. I wanted to know where to put my pizza which I only ordered so I could use the restroom & they told me not on the couch but also not where to put it & finally I gestured to the counter and they seemed ok w that however inconvenienced. Then Zoe tells me let's just get started and I feel rushed into the chair and it was up higher so I couldn't easily sit on it and she said "ok we're already off to a rough start. These are $5,000 dollar chairs" and then proceeds to demonstrate to me how I should sit in the chair. Perhaps the chair is common knowledge but to position yourself as a queer inclusive barber shop and then to speak to me so condescendingly. I was neither accommodated for using the restroom nor for adjusting the seat nor offered common customer facing professionalism. After I began to cry & look visibly uncomfortable she offered an apology and that we should talk about it but i didn't feel comfortable with that after being made to feel so uncomfortable in the space by both of them. I wish she would have reached out afterwards. I had a good first experience and wanted to find a place I could get gender affirming haircuts. So disappointing and discouraging.

My journey with this barbershop started when I moved from SF back to LB around early 2023. Walked…read morein on a busy Wednesday morning and asked for any availability for a standard haircut walk-in appointment with any barber. First off, everyone greeted me as I walked through the door, every station was clean, vibes were right, and music was great. Moments later, Manny introduced himself, got me setup in his chair, asked what I wanted, and got to work. The professionalism, cancer, and warm demeanor of not only Manny, but everyone in that shop, is part of the reason I keep coming back after a little over 3 years of fierce loyalty. Other reason I keep regularly scheduling cuts with Manny is because he's the genuine article and a savant with clippers. Plus, the guy is easy to talk to. Choose this shop, and I promise you won't be disappointed. 5/5

When I asked if walk-ins were accepted, I was told if I could return the following day and was simply turned away with a "sorry." I needed the service that day otherwise, I would have waited and gone to my regular barbershop. I chose this place based on proximity and Yelp ratings, but there was no real flexibility when it came to walk-ins. As a local resident, I decided to try a new shop closer to home. By 3 PM, all three barbers were already booked. While it's great for the business to be fully scheduled suggesting they must provide excellent cuts it was disappointing to be turned away at the time I arrived. Wishing them well in the future.

This place popped up and so I decided to go through with it. I was running about 10 minutes behind to my appointment and was trying to find a number to call but nothing was going through. I showed up and saw just PJ sitting waiting and I could tell he was a little annoyed that I was late at first so the vibes were interesting, but once I apologize and starting forcing conversation, he warmed up and we had some great conversations. He also spent a lot of time and attention to detail on my hair and I got exactly what I wanted which I appreciated. It is definitely on the higher-end price point-wise, but if you're looking for an extremely fresh looking cut, I would come back here for sure!

I've been going to Desmond for about 10 years now. The service is always top-notch, and you can…read moretell he genuinely cares about his clients and his craft. This isn't the kind of barbershop where you're rushed in and out just to get through the next appointment. Desmond takes his time, listens to what you want, and makes sure you leave with exactly the look you're after. On top of that, it's always a great atmosphere and an enjoyable experience every time I visit. For the past six months, I've been growing my hair out for my wedding, and Desmond has been helping me shape it every step of the way. He's made sure it looks great throughout the awkward growing-out phase while keeping me on track for the style I want on my wedding day. I highly recommend this shop and everyone who works there. they're all talented professionals. But if you have the opportunity to book with the master himself, ask for Desmond. If you can get a spot on his schedule, you won't be disappointed.

Instead of just copying it, he took the time to explain how different hairstyles work with different hair types, textures, and head shapes. His knowledge, confidence, and passion definitely stood out. Over the years, he's helped me find a style that actually works for me, and as my hair has changed with age, he's adapted right along with it. Most of the time, I don't even need to tell him what I want--he already knows. What sets Des apart is that he listens first, gives honest professional advice, and genuinely wants you to leave looking and feeling your best. If you're looking for a barber who cares about his craft and his clients, I can't recommend him enough.

Gabby passes with flying colors. I love how every-time I come in I am offered a drink (either alcoholic or nonalcoholic). I'm hoping the next location has better parking!

Both of us were very happy with the results, and it was a decent amount for the whole shot. He deserved a very good tip for the work, and I will keep him in mind the next time I need a good haircut like that in the future.

What really impressed me was how educational the experience was. While blow-drying my hair, Michelle explained what she was doing and why, giving me the confidence to recreate the look at home. I walked out with a fantastic cut, affirmation on the products I'm already using, and a recommendation for one new product that is going to be a game-changer for my naturally silver hair.
