Today was my first time at Ernie's. I loved how fast he was and attentive He was to my haircut. My fade turned out perfectly, and the price was perfect.!! The place down the street was charging $15 more for the same haircut! Jay cut my hair read more

Well I did return for a haircut this year. Sad to say that the barber who cut my hair the first time had passed away. His grand son has taken over. Nice place and a descent hair cut. read more

I have been coming here for years. I have known about it Ernies my whole life since I grew up in the neighborhood. I saw someone post about the vibe, I have been to the trendy barbers in downtown and Silverlake with wanna be trendy people. This is a super chill, all ages, us older guys, older older guys, college and teenagers and mom's bringing baby boy in for their first haircut, EVERYONE IS WELCOME. Zach is great runs the place just like Ernie, don't forget your cash money. read more

Ernies is a nice barbershop, in one of those areas of Glendale that blend with EagleRock. Was happy to find them available on Sunday, before the Scheduled State close down. I parked in front on the 30 minute green curb. I forgot to inquire if there is parking behind the shop, street parking should be easy enough. They are adhering to all Covid 19 safety measures. Greg cut my hair and did a great job. I referred a friend there once I got home, he too was pleased with his experience there yesterday. Their rates are very reasonable, it's a tough business, like so many during this pandemic. Money is tight, yes, but tip these folks well for their good work. read more

Been coming here for a while now and have always loved the haircut I get. Better yet Zach always takes the time to get to know you and is just an all around nice dude. Highly recommend! read more

This is a long time family business in Glendale. I started coming here when my barber closed his shop and took a chair here. He's gone now but I stayed on with the new generation now operating the shop. The vibe is friendly and casual and the barbers are youthful but experienced. No matter your age they can give you cut you want! Highly recommended. read more

Excellent, all around service friendly, great sense of humor and very professional. Ive give Zack big props in cutting hair. He has been cutting my hair for the last 20 years. Thx Zack, Coroner Guy Carlos Garcia read more

I've been going to this authentic barber shop for years. Zack is fantastic--he really knows what he's doing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience! I recently had a haircut and couldn't be happier. From the moment I sat in the chair, Zach made me feel comfortable with a great conversation that flowed naturally--super friendly and easy to talk to. He took the time to listen to what I wanted and delivered a fresh, sharp cut that exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail was impressive, and I walked out feeling confident and refreshed. In addition to the great service, the price was very reasonable, which is always a plus. If you're looking for a skilled barber who knows how to give a quality cut and keep the vibe relaxed and enjoyable, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it! read more

I've been going to Ernie's for quite some time now. Zach always nails my haircut and understands exactly what I want. Always welcoming, makes me feel at home, and very reasonable! read more

Brought my 2 sons to Ernie's for a haircut. I requested simple haircuts and received an amazing over the top haircut from Sam. He made both of my kids super fresh and had great service with them the entire time. He truly showed his talent during these cuts and now both my kids are back to school ready. I highly recommend going to Sam for your next cut. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Zach is the only person I trust to cut my hair. Been going to him for the last seven years and that won't change unless he "Van Gogh"s me... Even if, I'd probably still go back to have him even out the other ear! He also fixed me up (hair and beard) the day before my wedding. My lady said "yes" - proof that he'd done a stellar job. Greg and Sam are also available, and boast mad skills behind the blades. I mean, where else are you gonna go? Super Cuts? Seriously? Come chop it up with the boys at Ernies! Great establishment. Great History. Great Haircuts. read more

This place is amazing. Going here over 15 years. Zack is my barber perfect haircut, great atmosphere!!!!!

Great haircuts! Been going here for the past year and a half and Zach always gets the job done perfectly! Personable and patient, definitely worth the cut. Got my cut by Brian recently and he got it exactly I how wanted it to be amidst by vagueness since I'm always terrible with exact measurements :). Only place in the area I go to cut my hair. read more

Just got a haircut today from Zach. He did a fantastic job of trimming down and shaping up my 7 months of pandemic-lockdown rat's nest. He and his classic barbershop are hidden gems in Glendale, California, and I highly recommend him if you want to look your best. read more

Been going here for the past year and a half, and I've loved every appointment so far. The service is great and the vibes are chill. Both barbers, Sam and Zach, keep a great sense of humor and are very friendly.

There's no other place that has exceptional service and a welcoming environment other than Ernie's. Zach is so attentive to his clients and makes sure you're satisfied with every haircut.

Amazing. My first time today, but this place carries history, and brings the real feel of a barber shop. You're not paying for a nice chair to sit in, you're paying for an amazing haircut. Greg, and Zach are very skilled! And for the price they charge, it's truly a steal! Amazing vibes, amazing barbers, and an AMAZING cut. All set for today's performance, thanks Greg! Don't judge a place by it's looks, this one will surprise you. read more

Ernie's Barber Shop - Front entrance of the barber shop! - Barbers Near Me - Glendale, California

Doesn't open when they say they do. Please update your hours to avoid confusion and frustration.

(Haircut 2/12/12 SU): There's something comforting about an old-fashion barber shop (barber light pole both inside and outside, too!) that puts me back in more seemingly simpler times. Nostalgia is always nice just to get away from reality, and in this case you get groomed, too. I've been coming to Ernie's Barber Shop since I was in junior high having lived in the area my entire life. Sure, I've bounced around here and there, but I've always returned to this place that is home to me. It's like that old worn pair of jeans that is now tattered and torn, ripped at the bottom cuffs, and is lighter in color than whence it was first purchased. You still have half of the original cast - Ernie, the owner and patriarchal figure, and Mark, who happens to be my barber these days. Other relatively new additions include Tom and Zach (Ernie's grandson). As any good barber shop, you come not only for the haircut which I only do ($17.00), but it's the conversation and the camaraderie; it's therapy while getting your locks chopped off. Or in my case, getting sheared to the skin! They also offer services such as shampooing, shaving, and the throwback flattop. Each barber is professional in their craft and has his own style of doing things. I've had Ernie cut my hair on occasion when Mark (or when I first started coming here, Russ) isn't around. His deftly skills with the buzzer and clippers are evident and would certainly challenge the likes of Edward Scissorhands or Sweeney Todd, but less maniacal and menacing. Before you know it, you're done and Ernie is handing you the mirror to give his work a look-over. With Mark, he is just as skilled but more methodical and the conversation is always a treat. Not as quick as Ernie, but more meticulous. I've never seen a woman get her hair done here, even when the lone female, Yolanda, had her own chair for several years. But the place is definitely children-friendly as each barber can either act as the great uncle or grandfather role. The customer service is exceptional. Plus, if your child behaves and doesn't cry while get his/her haircut, they may get a piece of candy or a gumball! Does anyone remember those days!? Or better yet, ask Ernie to perform a magic trick! They are open six days a week (closed on Saturday), and each barber will take appointments except on Sundays when it is walk-in only. FYI...Mark's day off is Fridays. They recently installed a wide flatscreen TV that now covers the serene tropical image patrons would gaze at while sitting in the chair. If it's tennis season, expect that to be on as Ernie is a huge fan. Otherwise, expect whatever sport to be playing depending on the time of year. And for those cold days, there is an old stove-like wood-burning contraption that warms the place up so quickly. Parking is not plentiful. Ernie's Barber Shop doesn't have their own parking lot. There is street parking in front of the shop on Chevy Chase Dr., around the corner on Glenoaks Blvd., or the street behind the shop (name escapes me) and you can cut through the Glendale Adventist Hospital parking lot. Overall, I dare say my review is completely one-sided and not objective. Outside of going to Supercuts for several years before coming here, I have no other haircutting experience elsewhere. What I do know is customer service and a job well done, and you find both of those here. I feel each city or town is at its best when you can see how it is tied to neighborhoods, and Ernie's (among other local establishments) will always be synonymous with the Glenoaks/Scholl Canyon area. I have no perspective what the going rate of a haircut is these days, but I know some friends who go to "stylists" and pay twice as much or more for something I see these barbers do. With that being said, I see absolute value as noted by the price I quoted above (total bill was $17 before tip), but it's a half-hour of good grooming and conversation. As you can imagine, the place is casual; Ernie enjoys the aloha shirts. They only accept cash or check, so they don't take my credit card of choice...AMEX! read more

The barber that Ive been going to for years retired and closed his shop, so I had to find another place to go to. There are three on the main street where I live. I went into each one, and finally settled on the last one. In each of these, the people spoke little to no English, and one looked like it was run by gang members. The one I settled on did an alright job, but the experience was horrible. There was a young boy getting his hair cut and he was screaming the entire time, and no one would do anything about it. After that experience, the search was on again. I looked at all the places on the east side on Yelp, and everything was either what appeared to be some sort of gang hangout, non English speaking, or posh and trying to sell you a lifestyle, not a haircut. I found Ernie's, and it looked like it might be a winner, so I gave it a shot. Yes! Ernie knows how to run a barber shop, and it has been family owned and operated since 1955! I got a cut by his grandson Zach, and with minimal direction he was able to get my haircut done the way I wanted. The atmosphere was calm and familiar, and it seems like they have a good relationship with their clients, since they knew everyone that came in on a personal level. No blaring music or TV, no graffiti art or hip lifestyle decor, just an old fashioned barber shop, and it is perfect! Ernie and Zach, you've got yourself another regular! read more

Sam always gets me lookin right. All the guys here will leave you fresh.

Great haircuts and beard trimmings! Personable and alway on-time for my appointment (which I recommend getting). Zach is my go to guy and has been for a very long time now. read more

I have been coming to Zach for so many years now and he has never disappointed me. His service and attitude is great and always willing to accommodate with difficult schedules. Going to the barbershop is such a hard process, especially when you like your hair a particular way, but Zach has always made sure to leave my cuts exactly how I like it done. read more

I found Ernie's Barbershop through these Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I was steered there. Zach has been my barber for over two years, and can do both old school and new school cuts. Having moved from NYC, I was skeptical anyone in Glendale could pull off a Taper/Fade/Ceaser with a clean Line-up (Shape-up for East Coasters), but he absolutely crushed it! Zach's the younger fella at the first chair when you walk in, and makes you feel right at home at Ernie's. I recommend making an appointment, but wait times aren't too bad either. read more

I've been going her for about a year. Good normal barber cuts, they listen and interpret conservatively. They cut fairly quickly, but never sloppy. Quick enough that you can usually park on the green curb. I've rarely had to wait for a haircut. Great place for banter with the fellas, or just get a cut in silence, nobody judges you. read more

I am visiting from out of town and was not familiar with the area so I went to google close barber shops near my brothers house and this place came up. If you want someone to ruin your freaking hair go ahead and go there. Ernie have no business cutting hair, what he needs to do is retire, hire young barbers to replace him and get a percentage that way he gets to keep the shop open and does not risk getting horrible reviews. I think its a dis service to anyone who pays $17.00 and get their darn hair all messed up. I am sure he was good back in the days but he is truly past over his prime.imo I am on vacation here and I didn't want to get into confrontation with anyone because honestly I did not want to pay him but I did the right thing and walked away with both sides of my hair including the back sides were crooked. I asked for the mirror and OMG I cannot believe I got a haircut from this guy. Yes its Ernie. I asked his name. I left the shop and looked for another barber shop and I found one about a mile away and when the other barber saw my hair me he said Dam who did you pissed off? I asked the guy just fix it please he said I will have to cut it really short. I didn't have much of a choice I told him I would rather have short hair than have fucked up hair. In fairness there was a Hispanic guy who was cutting a kids hair he was actually good so look for a short Hispanic guy. Ernie can maybe do magic tricks instead I read one review he's pretty good at that. Just want to make it clear I have nothing against this barber shop or Ernie personally because I live in Kansas and never met him or been at his shop, but he freaking sucks and unless you want a messed up hair go ahead and have him cut your hair. Oh btw lastly his freaking electric razor was getting so hot while he was cutting my hair I almost said something to him, I asked the other barber what caused that he said lack of maintenance and or old like him. What a horrible experience. That's why I am taking my time to post this review I don't want someone else to fall into the same experience. please email me if you have addtl questions I have no problem responding to any questions and I hope he reads this and retire.. nikkomanga@yahoo.com I noticed another out of town person also gave a bad review look for reviews that came from out of town visitors. I guarantee you they are truly honest reviews read more

I was visiting from out of town to attend a wedding, and needed an intervention (my previous haircut wasn't great). So, I found this place through yelp. I called and they told me to come by. The barber who cut my hair was the grandson of the legendary Ernie. Here is a quick +/- of the experience: - the place is cool, I am personally very attracted to old school barber shops - the haircut was overall good with the exception that he did not ask how i wanted my sideburns and ended up cutting it short, spoiling what would have a good haircut - I asked for a shave - I wasn't specific that I wanted a straight razor shave - so he just ran the electric shaver thru my face. The overall theme to me was along the lines that he just assumed stuff and instead of clarifying - or offering alternatives, he just went with his own assumptions. I'd have given a place a 4 o 5 if it wasn't for these two issues. read more

Ernie's is a barber shop. It is owned and run by men. They cut men's hair. If you're too sensitive to handle a real barber shop, go cry somewhere else. These guys are all good guys. Ernie is 90 yrs old and built the place many years ago. He's got awesome stories and has earned his place in the world. He is far more courteous than he needs to be to the salon crowd. The only bad people here are the occasional customers, bragging about the money they made ripping off others. Glendale needs less of those losers and more people like the guys at Ernie's. read more

Great place to cut your hair. Ernie's is the place to cut your hair in Glendale. Old school. read more

So my boyfriend and I drive by this place all the time on our way to school, and I suggested that he go try this place out since his last haircut with his usual guy seemed a little choppy. We were warmly greeted by the owner and the other fellas at the shop and as a woman coming into the manliest of man locations, it was a lot of fun just talking to everyone there. (I didn't feel like I was going to the mechanic shop and just staring at the ceiling.) They took their time and gave my boyfriend a really nice haircut. I am personally EXTREMELY detailed oriented, and I can tell that they are too. They stepped back and examined the haircut very carefully before going back at it. I respect that. I hate encountering those folks (in any profession at this point) who think they're bad asses and are completely arrogant and give you something you completely hate--oh, but they're the expert!...ya no, not here, they respect what you want and are humble about it (& they're still experts). My boyfriend doesn't have a yelp account but he really liked the cut and noticed the detailing they get into that his other guy never did. Hearing him say that made me super happy! Just as a note, 1) There is no woman who works there (anymore I guess). It's just the guys and they're super nice & friendly. & 2).....they do magic tricks. You can't get more awesome-r than that! :) read more

This place is awesome. Super friendly down to earth people. I was in and out in no time and my haircut feels like I have been going there for years. Support these few remaining family businesses. read more

My husband just got a haircut from Zach!!!! Amazing barber my hub looks hot as hell!!!!! No one ever gave him a such a good/clean haircut read more

Yelp reviews on this place were spot on. Ernie and Zach have a quality establishment here. I like to stay local and there are a ton of barbers in the Eagle Rock/Glendale area, but I liked the idea of a Grandpa/Grandson combo. Zach did a great job on my haircut and beard trim, and was able to give me some advice for when I'm trimming my beard myself. It cost a little more than the barber shops I've been to, but not expensive. Probably more on par with the chain places, but definitely worth it and I'd recommend this place over anything else. And I must say, damn I look good right now. Can't wait to take my girlfriend out tonight! read more

I used to go to a "celebrity barber" that would charge an outrageous amount for the same hair cut that I get at Ernies. Zach, Ernies grandson, provides a current cut and fade while keeping the old school barber feel Ernie established. It's great to be able to have a quality conversation, enter an atmosphere of relaxation, and get a quality cut. Glad I found not only my barber for life but a quality friend. Thanks Zach! read more

I decided to try this place out recently since they're local and I'd rather support my local businesses. My expectations were high given that their Yelp reviews are pretty darn good. They still managed to exceed my expectations with not only a phenomenal cut but a show to top it off with. Zack gave me a quick and perfect cut, exactly as I described to him what I wanted done. Through the cut we carried a good conversation and at no point did I sit there bored waiting for it to be over. And on top of all, he introduced me to his grandfather Ernie, the shop's original owner. Ernie told me about the history of his barber shop and proceeded to entertain everyone with some awesome magic! Dinner and a show is one thing, but a haircut and a show? Now that's awesome and these guys have earned my business on the long run. Highly recommended and everyone here is awesome and very welcoming! Try them out and you won't be disappointed! read more
