Aaron is a wizard with scissors! Previously, I had switched around to from 3 different barbers...each one just slightly missing the mark...I would bring in a reference photo and then my hair cut would always be "off". With Aaron, it was like nothing I have ever experienced: He took one glance at my reference and then gave me a precise breakdown on how my head shape, face structure, and hair texture was going to effect the reference photo and how he was going to alter his cutting style to achieve the look.. The end result was flawless!!! Money well spent. I can finally sleep well tonight knowing I have found my permanent barber. If you've struggled to get the precise look you want OR if you want someone that can freestyle and give you a completely fresh look, Aaron is your guy!!! read more

See all

For the past five years, Etiquette Barbers has delivered an exceptional experience every time. Their attention to detail, personal touch, and professionalism truly set them apart from the rest. read more

This is my second time getting a haircut with Aaron, great experience! He knows what he's doing and works with whatever idea you have. Gives his input given his years of experience and what will work with the kind of hair you have. Will be going back for more cuts, finally found a barber who knows what he's doing with scissor cuts and always a chill time there. You also get a free drink! read more

Beautiful setting, wonderful vibes radiating from the whole spot. Aaron especially gives off very welcoming energy and gives a lot of advice and tips on hair maintenance and up keep. Overall great service and experience. Will be recommending this spot to all my love ones, love for all my friends from the down unda! read more

Aaron was great. Such a friendly guy and knows his stuff. Made the whole experience great. Will for sure come back to him.

Always exceeds my expectations. Easy to book appointments. Great atmosphere. Fair pricing for such expert barbering.

Etiquette Barbers is absolutely the best in the arts district. Randy and his team always take great care of me every time I'm there. And once you're done with your haircut, you can grab the best coffee and sandwiches at the lobby café. read more

Treated myself to a bike ride from Gardena/Compton area, to this establishment, and had a marvelous time. There were artisanal vendors peddling their wares. I got myself a ball of soap (turns out the ball just rolls around my body, but I used it anyway), and got some perfume for the lady (have yet to smell it on her, but that's neither here nor there). The barber shop seems great, but I did not treat myself to a cut because my head is already shaved. There's coffee and a bar on the premises, there's lots to see and do, plus my buddy works there, and it's always nice to gaze upon a familiar face. read more

My favorite spot. Ran ran is the best hair maestro in the game. Book him for a haircut that won't miss

Randy is a sick dude ! Gave me a clean fade and was a chill guy to talk to Book online and parking is easy ! Best playa read more

overpriced. and making appointments aren't clear on their website. There isn't a "beard and haircut" option (there's only a gentleman's cut), so the schedule was super off. Also, based on my experience from visiting this barber the past couple of years, I don't feel welcomed. He has favorites or whatever. Not everyone is treated the same. Austin was really good when he was there (the other new guy sucks) but yea, there's plenty of better barbers in L.A. Plus, these people aren't even from Los Angeles read more

Was in LA for business and was able to get an appointment day before. One of the best haircuts I've ever had in my life. It's a very cool space with a coffee shop next door. Next time I'm In LA I will carve out time to get another haircut from them. read more

absolutely incredible cut! will come back for as long as their here! Tommy gave me the best cuts in LA without a doubt! book him read more

Personalized professional barbers. I got a great cut from Tommy. Would highly recommend. FYI parking is in a lot called perfect parking and it connects a dirt path to the barber. read more

A short summary - if you are from Europe and in search for a quality haircut - try Etiquette Barbers! It's almost 3 years since I've moved to the US and each haircut I've got was a disappointment. I was postponing every next one as long as I could - 1, 2, 3 months - simply didn't even want to think about that. And finally.. these guys! I've scheduled an appointment with Austin and almost immediately felt like this is the place. His attention to details, professionalism, sense of style - everything that I was looking for. Before, at almost every barbershop I was asked the same confusing question - "how many inches on each side" - and I was like haha.. I don't even know how many centimeters! I've tried using a sample picture of a haircut I wanted - no luck. The experience with Austin is totally opposite - I just showed him the picture, asked for a couple of things and he did the job right. Perfect, just perfect. I'm a returning customer. Btw they have a very convenient way of scheduling an appointment - you just go to their website, choose whom you want to work with, and pick the date/time. No need to call and "ummm, 7pm, we're booked, maybe 5pm, ummm, no I can't, maybe tomorrow, ummm..". read more

You want a damn good hair cut and shoot the shit with the best peoples (Randy and Austin)? Then this place is where you go. They are seriously the best barbers I have ever met. Top it off, we just have a fu*king blast while getting a cut. I never experienced that before until I came here. read more

Decent cut but way overpriced. Barber is a bit stubborn and does his own thing and makes weird jokes. Decent cut.

Randall and Austin are really easy going and put together a space with a great vibe. You walk into a bright space, with nice industrial antique decor, and a cocktail offered right off the bat. Austin cuts my hair regularly, and it's the cleanest and most consistent cut I've ever had. You can tell it's a great cut because it lasts me about 1-2 months. I recommend both Randall and Austin, you won't be disappointed. Get yourself a shave too while you're at it! They take their time and get it right always. read more

Randall's hands down the bestest, most coolest barber around. I've gone to many places and he's by far the best. Also, he's good peeps and can actually carry a conversation, which sounds basic af, but is essential when you're spending a half-hour-plus with someone. Also, Belle. She v good. read more

What a great experience. Making an appointment online was a breeze. Finding parking on the street was not difficult. Austin cut my hair and trimmed my beard. From the moment I arrived until I left i felt very comfortable. Immediately upon arrival Austin offered me a drink (coffee, beer, or some good top shelve stuff), given that it was rather early I opted for an iced coffee. The coffee was AMZING! The coffee came from the coffee shop right next to the barbershop. I sat down on the chair and gave Austin a general idea of what I wanted and he took it from there. Great vibe, great atmosphere. Will definitely return to get my haircut/beard done by Austin again. read more

I've been with Etiquette Barbers since the beginning and I have no plans of going anywhere else. The shop is tucked away next to really great coffee shop, parking is easy, and booking your appointment online makes things effortless. At Etiquette, you're getting an experience rather than just a hair cut. Randy is at the top of the barber game and he knows what does and doesn't work. If you are looking for a cool vibe and a great cut, this place is a no brainer. read more

I've been getting my fresh cuts from etiquitte barbers for quite sometime now and will continue to do so! Randall is a craftsman when it comes to cutting my hair. I love his sense of humor and professionalism. If you don't want to be disappointed come get a haircut at etiquitte barbers! Tell'em Daniel sent ya. Oh by way! They have a wonderful coffee shop next door and of course Randal makes one hell of an old fashion. read more

Wow. This was easily the best barber experience I've ever had. I had an appointment with Austin and would give him 10 stars if Yelp would let me. He offered me a whiskey upon entering and was extremely thorough in understanding what I wanted before starting the cut. We had great conversation and he delivered an incredible haircut. The vibe was also spot on. Great music. Clean space. Good pheromones. I will definitely be back. Austin FTW. read more

Came here from Portland for a haircut. Super rad experience. By far the best cut & greatest experience at a barbershop. Recommend to anyone & everyone. read more

Tommy is a beast. One of my favorite haircuts I've recently gotten. Definitely recommend!

Had my first visit to Etiquette to see Austin. Excellent haircut, and nice slick environment. It was a hot day but the AC was working great. Good music and drinks available. Personally I cannot stand the venomous banter of a typical salon and will not enter those types of covens ever again but Etiquette is a chill place for a decent human man, even if his discussion is a bit indecent. Enjoy your haircut. I did. read more

Randy has been cutting my hair for 6 years. I moved from LA a few years ago and still make it a point to come see him every time I am in town; I will skip a cut for an extra week or two if I know I am going to be in LA and have time to stop by Etiquette. He nails it every time - even when I want to make a change to my look, he seems to know exactly what I am thinking and executes flawlessly. The shop itself is extremely cool, and Randy never stops making improvements, making it more comfortable and an overall experience. Great service, great conversation, solid location, and amazing haircuts. Make sure to set appointments a week in advance, you will never look back. read more

The homie Austin cuts my hair all the time. He's by far the best barber I've had. He gives impeccable fades and spends quality time on your hair. He certainly knows what he's doing and is a must if you're looking to get your hair cut. Absolutely love this location. Parking is convenient and the shop isn't situated in a congested area like Downtown LA. I hate having to deal with scarce parking AND paying exorbitant fees for parking. This is a great spot! I highly highly recommend coming here! read more

Excellent experience, very talented barbers. I come for the haircut, I stay for their bad jokes. Austin takes my crooked head and somehow shapes it like a cue ball, not an easy task! Glad I found this gem! read more

No joke, best damn barber around. Period. As soon as I Randy cut my hair the first time, I've vowed never to go anywhere else. He nails it every time. He's thorough and pays close attention to detail. Not to mention, the service is top notch. Truth is, I don't want to become his customer! I already have to plan a week ahead just to make an appointment. His schedule fills up fast, so that tells you something. In short, stay away. Don't bother. I suggest you settle for a sub par fade at Bolt while the rest of us get fully taken care of! :) read more

New location so new review. I think not enough people understand the relationship that one has with his barber. A man's day to day look is the result of their craftsmanship, or in the unfortunate case, the lack thereof. Some treat haircuts like tattoos and just walk into any shop they see and pick something they like off the wall. Others that actually care about their appearance, respect the skill and artistry involved. From the first time you step out of a the chair with a fresh cut that you ACTUALLY like instead of just "accepting", you know you started down a path of greatness. I found Randall when I first moved Downtown 3-4 years ago but have since moved to the Valley. Sure I could avoid LA rush hour traffic and go to you local Floyd's aka the new supercuts, but then I would just be a hypocrite. I suggested this place to my boss at work who asked for a recommendation of a cool place to take his son. Now my boss is a regular client. Long story short, Randall is one of the best. A gentleman and a scholar. Don't play yourself. Make an appointment and you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Randy, in various locations for 4- 5 years now and can't remember ever having a better barber. I'm quite the fastidious arsehole when it comes to matters of the cloth and appearance, so I'm not saying that lightly. Whimsically, when sat in the chair, I often think that I'd love the opportunity to bring my dad along, as I'm sure he'd appreciate the style and panache on show. Sadly, he lives bloody miles away. read more

Me and my brother have been going to etiquette barbers for three years now. Randy is a killer. Do yourself a favor, visit etiquette, grab a libation, let the technician go to work and walk out with mad swag! read more

Etiquette Barbers - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What can I say, that hasn't already been said about this Master of the comb, clipper, scissor and blade!!! Randy, quite frankly is one of those rare men that embodies the very core of his brand. "Etiquette" by definition suggests dignity and a sense of decorum in what is becoming or appropriate for a person of good breeding. And Randy's good breeding, is that of a soulful, grounded, hard-working, classy, gentleman that is at the top of his game. He allows the very balance of his craft to channel through him to each client. His cuts are always on point, his fades are flawless, his razor work is second to none. I have never gotten out of his chair wanting, asking or needing to change a fucking thing. Its a rare gift to know your customers and anticipate their every need. He is in my opinion, the best master barber and stylist in this town....Period. Give yourself a gift this year and get yo ass downtown and feel what I've been lay'n down in this review... and support the crew at Etiquette Barbers!!!! Semper Fi - T read more

This place is my spot! I've been going here for a year and Randy has become like family. Always good chill vibes, smooth whiskey and good tunes not to mention a killer cut. Being a creative dude, the environment is almost like stepping back in time. The halcyon days when gentleman knew what's what, but here it's that same notion but with a clean fresh modern twist. They also just opened an insanely sick coffee lounge right as you walk in, which fits right into that that South Arts District vibe. read more

A master at his craft. The sharpest cuts the smoothest shaves. Randy rules. The best barber in LA.

Have been getting the smoothest cuts from Austin for a long time and when he moved to this spot I joined him. Still getting a top notch cut from my boy Austin but the vibe at this place is definitely worth the couple of extra bucks you'll spend here. It's an oasis of a shop. There's a barber shop, coffee shop, and an art gallery all wrapped into this one space. The coffee is killer and of course if your just stopping through to get cleaned up with Austin you can ask for a Moscow mule on the house or if you like your whisky neat like me go that route. This is the type of barber shop that separates the men from the boys. read more

This is easily the best barbershop in town. I've been seeing Austin for a year now and he's really the man. 5 star experience all around! read more

Followed my barber Austin over to this new spot and the space and vibe are as tight as the fades! Tucked in the ground floor of the Art House loft building, it's a hidden gem that shares a space with the Counterfeit coffee shop. Haircuts and beard trims complimented by craft cocktails - a veritable man cave for dapper dudes! read more

I've been a customer of Randy's for several years so it's been a long time since I've had a bad hair cut. The shop on Santa Fe is probably the coolest place to hang out and get a haircut. The cafe attached to the shop took a while to get up and running but it was worth the wait. Make your appointments in advance because the schedule fills up fast but after your cut you understand why. I don't consider getting my hair cut there a "convenience" because I have to uber or drive there and it's out of my way to work and home but I refuse to slum it somewhere else because it's just "convenient" to do so. It's well worth the time and effort because of the overall experience you get at Etiquette Barbers. read more
