Thanks art for the fade great location nice customer service My son likes this place too............

So, I don't have remotely complicated or strong opinions on getting my hair cut - I'd just always gone to the cheapest chain haircut place that happened to be near me, when I moved to downtown Long Beach a decade ago, that was Fantastic Sam's. They always did a perfectly good job... until they closed a couple years ago. Now spoiled on being able to get my hair cut without having to drive across town, last year I looked around for a local alternative. While I do miss paying ~$10 less for a haircut (a basic men's cut, last time I was here, was $35), it is also nice feeling that I'm supporting a local business instead of a multinational one, and that doesn't feel like an unreasonable price for the personal attention you get. Everyone there's always super friendly, and I do always get great results (not that I could tell the difference, as long as it was short enough - but my wife can, and she says it's been great). And it is definitely a chiller, less sterile-feeling environment than that Fantastic Sam's. Less irritating music than a Fantastic Sam's, too. I was sad the first time I showed up though, having seen one review from 2022 where a customer was offered Oban... the most recent time I got my hair cut here, I was not offered any alcoholic beverages while I was waiting. The first time I showed up here, I was offered a can of Budweiser or some equivalent macro beer, which is admittedly more than you'd ever be offered at Fantastic Sam's or Supercuts, but still, definitely not Oban. (Not dinging them for that, obviously - while a barbershop that also had a scotch menu sounds like a great business model, they certainly didn't promise me any :D. Just commenting, that one review from 2022 is not indicative of the average experience.) read more

i came in for a simple low taper/comb over & Art ended up giving me the worst haircut of my life...good dude tho.

Artie is my Go To Barber at Electric Empire. I've been following Artie from Garden Grove and Santa Ana. He's definitely one of the best barbers. Artie is very hospitable with his clients. Although he specializes in Traditional Men's cuts he's very adaptable to new cuts as well. I also think that Artie invests a good amount of time insuring that your cut will exceed your expectations. He has great attention to detail and really the end product shows when he hands you the mirror. If you're looking for a new barber in Long Beach, Ca I'd highly recommend Artie. A good barber is very hard to find nowadays. Give him a shot and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Worst thing that can happen is your hair grows back and you don't visit him again. LOL. But I'm pretty sure you'll be hooked on his service! read more

Amazing barber shop! Alex the barber is very professional and great with adults and kids! We've been there a few times and Alex always goes above and beyond! Best barber shop in LBC read more

I was looking for a local barbershop and stopped in here this morning. I paid $35 for a Supercuts haircut. The guy only used clippers and left me waiting for 2 weeks for my hair to grow out so I can get a haircut that I won't be embarrassed to wear outside. Save your money and go to Supercuts read more

From his time at Hawleywood's, Alex always gave the best cuts in Long Beach. So when I found out he had his own shop, I immediately scheduled an appointment. The quality of his haircuts, rapid communication, and trust I have with him over the years has made me a loyal customer. 4th st is competitive because it's a hub for traditional barbers and there are very talented barbers in a variety of shops along that section of the city. However I can guarantee that Alex and his team are top performers of this category. It's a very welcoming shop and hope to see it grow because I believe in the quality service they provide. read more

Barbershops like this one is hard to come by, the ambiance is great, the barbers are welcoming, and the haircuts are even better. Alex has been cutting my hair now for years and the amount of attention to detail he puts into every haircut is incredible. Do not hesitate to try this shop out! read more

First time at this shop. Everyone us very welcoming ask me if I wanted a beer as I wait. Didnt wait long. Guys are very fast and outgoing. Shop looks very cool clean and organized. Will be back for sure. read more

This place is amazing I recommend coming here really great service also Carlos did a really good job cutting my hair 100% I'm coming back here from now on best place to get a cut! read more

Been following Drew where ever he goes. Only barber allowed near my beard and hair. Some barber shops advertise beard trims but don't actually specialize in it. Amazing cuts for the price. They're better and cheaper than the big "chains". Amazing atmosphere as well, good tunes, drinks. Plus I always support Veteran owned businesses! read more

Electric Empire Barber Shop - Outside of the shop. Place is very welcoming and friendly unlike some other "chains" - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Drew always kills it and always has wild stories to share. I definitely can't complain about having a beer while I wait or while I get a cut. Legitimately my roommates tell me when I come back from a haircut that I have "magazine hair" and if that's not a testimate to quality, then I dont know what is hahaha read more

Dope place to get your hair cut. It's really chill. They owner and staff are really cool. My biker buddies go here all the time and somehow Drew is able to make these animals look almost human. Highly recommended. read more

Been going to Alex for a long time now. He's really an amazing barber. This shop is really nice all the barbers are really friendly. Appointments are preferred since they are always busy. read more

I was looking for a barbershop to tame my beard, and shave my head. I found this gem of a place, so impressed with this barbershop setup. Apparently the owner (Jesse, i think?) use to be some kind of artist which is evident when you visit (very rockabilly), tunes were excellent, friendly conversation and barbers on staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not only did they do an amazing job on my beard and head I was also charged a reasonable price (which i gave a generous tip, because you would have thought i came out of a ZZ Top video). read more

Hands down best hair cut I've ever had from Evan. Master of the fade. There's a handful of barbers downtown, but the crew here is genuine and knowledgeable. Plus, a cold PBR and a hot towel after work doesn't hurt. They stay open later to accommodate customers after 5pm. Found a new spot for my biweekly trim, go Ducks! read more

Looking for a place to get that fresh cut? This is it! Jesse and the crew hook it up! The tunes are always rocking, conversations flowing and an all around great atmosphere. I've been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed. read more

What a great little shop. Jesse is friendly, courteous, professional, artistic, and really knows his stuff. Offers good music, TV, and wi-fi. Not only great with hair, did an amazing job with my beard. Surprisingly affordable. Very hospitable. Awesome atmosphere. This ain't your daddy's barber shop. My go-to guy from now on. read more

If you are ever in the Long Beach area and need a haircut then this is the place to go. All the barbers are are top notch professional and well make you feel welcome like an old friend even if it's your first time there. The cuts are superb and the service is excellent. The owner, Alex, will make sure that your experience is nothing but top notch. And their barber Ray does excellent work when it comes to fades and styling as well from punk rockers to professional business men look. I liked their cuts and service so much that I even hired them to be my barber for my wedding and got all my grooms men and myself ready for the big day. Electric Empire, the place to be in Long Beach. read more

Came here once for a haircut it was pretty good overall. Minus one star for not straight razoring the neck line and only buzzing it

What a awesome barber shop! I had Abraham, and he absolutely killed it. I didn't even have to show him a photo and the dude gave me exactly what I wanted! Not only did they get me in the "day of" (when my normal shop couldn't), but their professional manner and attention to detail was stellar! They made a new customer and I would refer this shop to anyone! read more

Took my nephew in last minute, they did a great job. Good neighborhood shop. Good convo and they actually listened to how he wanted it cut. Definitely satisfied with the result. read more

Great place to get a haircut and the guys are great too! Super down to earth and did a great fade on my haircut. It was exactly what I was looking for. Change me into a different person I had so much hair before. Messaged through yelp and set an appointment up quickly for the the next day as the current day I asked they were booked up. Nice place in LBC and only a few blocks away from me. I'll be back for sure!! read more

My teenage son had an appt at 11:45 am. He waited outside till 1 pm and nobody ever showed up to open. Very inconsiderate . Lost me as a customer read more

I drove by a few weeks back and noticed a sign of a hair product called "Suavecito" and it got my attention. I took my son (10 years old) to get a haircut and Jenna did a wonderful job. I was a bit worried that it would be too short or that I wouldn't like it and it looked amazing! I was offered a beer while waiting and of course I took it! Maybe they can have "Jarritos" for the kids to drink! - Great place, highly recommended! read more

Electric Empire Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here for a cut. Place has some retro decor, very rockabilly like. Barbers are friendly but more importantly very good at their craft. I bring my son there now also. Never had a bad haircut. People ask me where I take my son when they see his fresh cut. No reason to go anywhere else. read more

I needed a haircut in a bad way so I went on Yelp and found this place. I decided to drive from Torrance to Long Beach to give it a try. I find out its best to schedule an appointment because they can be booked. Jenna, the barber working, was fully booked when I had asked about her schedule, but was willing to fit me in. She did a great job and I appreciated her flexibility and great customer service! Oh! And I got a great haircut too! :) I told her how I wanted it and it came out just like I wanted it! Thank you again and I wish you all the best! My first time there and definitely not my last! Cut it up and enjoy! ;) read more

Best barber in the LBC and all of LA County. Found Drew when my normal barber bailed on an appointment and man did I get lucky. Perfect shave and cut each time. Whether it takes an hour or more Drew doesn't rush through anyone. He's a true artist and loves what he does. Plus the shop is retro with a big screen and great tunes playing. Add to all of this greatness that he doesn't charge you for beer and other spirits if you're over 21 and thirsty. read more

Been coming to this spot for about two years and Jesse and his crew have always made me feel welcome. Every cut I get is spot on and I couldn't be happier. If you need a cut this is the spot, you won't be disappointed. read more

Best place in long beach Super professional i m recommend this place Drew is the man I get my hair cut Just like I ask My previous barbers always go smaller or not the cut I wan Give it a try you won't be disappointed read more

I came in to get my haircut, little did I know my barber is no longer working there and they didn't even bother to tell me. I had to find out from my barber after sitting there for 10min. They all know me and know who cuts my hair. I think it's very unprofessional for them not to mention anything. I'm sitting there like a dumbass AND they even offered me a beer. Good customer service is: let the customer know their barber is no longer working there. read more

These guys are taking care of business on 4th Street always a good time and great barbers check em out

Got a couple cuts from Evan in the past. First was solid. Second I had to even out when I got home. But the real reason that I won't be going back is because the last time I was in the shop, every guy there - both barbers and the three or four dudes who were just sitting around drinking beer - stopped what they were doing to catcall two teenaged girls who were just walking down the sidewalk minding their own business. I was embarrassed just to be in there with them. I don't care what our president has to say about it, misogyny is lame. Y'all have some growing up to do. read more
