We waited for about 30 minutes while three barbers appeared to be standing around and not cutting anyone's hair. They may have been waiting for appointments, and that's completely understandable, but the least they could have done was acknowledge us, let us know what the wait would be, or explain the situation. Instead, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and it seemed like they had a chip on their shoulder. Basic courtesy and communication go a long way, and unfortunately, the customer service was very poor.

It does not taper because some guy with a certificate from a six-week barber program waved clippers in its general direction. It grows outward with a kind of structural defiance, perpendicular to your skull, and it has humiliated more barbers than you'd think possible given that roughly two billion people on earth are walking around with some version of it. You have two options: you find someone who understands the architecture of the problem, or you pay eighty-five dollars at some place in Silver Lake with exposed brick and a cocktail menu and hope that the price tag correlates to competence. Often it does not. Tony at Checkmate Barbershop charges forty dollars. The shop is in Montebello, which means it is not trying to be anything other than a barbershop. No reservations. No app. No hot towel upsell. You walk in, and if Tony's chair is open, you sit in it, and he does the thing that a surprising number of expensive barbers cannot do, which is cut your hair correctly. A one on the sides, tapered up, trim the top -- the kind of straightforward men's cut that sounds simple until you're the person holding the clippers and staring at hair that wants to project horizontally from the fade line like it's staging a protest. Tony navigated it with the quiet precision of someone who has solved this problem a thousand times and doesn't need to narrate the process. The taper was seamless. The top was shaped without being overthought. The cut looked right the day of and -- the real test -- still looked right a week later, which is when most mediocre haircuts reveal themselves for what they are. The shop itself is contemporary and clean, the kind of place where the design suggests someone cares but not so much that you feel like you're being charged for the aesthetic. The music was excellent and omnivorous in a way that told you something about the people running the place: The Specials drifted into Mungo Jerry drifted into something from the mid-eighties, the kind of rotation that makes you want to sit in the chair a little longer even after the cut is done. The vibe is friendly without being performative. Nobody tried to become my best friend. Nobody ignored me either. It was the Goldilocks zone of barbershop social interaction, which if you've ever sat through a forty-five-minute cut with a barber who won't stop talking about crypto, you know is not a trivial thing. Forty dollars. Walk-in. In Montebello. For a precision fade on difficult hair that holds up better than cuts I've paid nearly three times as much for. The math is so simple it's almost embarrassing that it took me this long to find it.

This is my first ever babrber shop that i go to didnt know what to really expect but honestly it was great! Joe is a really laid back dude, he lets you know what he will be doing to your hair while working on it so you wont go suprised and he checks to know if you approve and like the idea, the guy is full of old school stories and knows how to keep you interested in tlking while working on your cut. He knows alot about music thats forsure! Its the only time i go to a place to get a haircut and he puts the music you like. he was going to start naming metal bands and started off with rob zombie and white zombie, i told him say no more rob zombie it is. Its was rad!! The price was really great 8 really recommend everyone to go here if they are looking for a good barber. Will keep going to get my cuts here all the time now! read more

I had a terrible experience with this barber in Montebello. When I sat in his chair, he spent the first five minutes texting, completely ignoring me. To make matters worse, he smelled strongly of beer and was clearly intoxicated. He was easily distracted throughout the entire haircut. As for the haircut itself, it was awful. He lacked basic skills, particularly with tapers and fades, and the result was nowhere near acceptable. His low prices reflect the poor quality of his work. I definitely do not recommend this barber. 0 stars. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

José is hands down the best barber I've been to. He's a true professional--his fades are always on point and consistent every single time. Beyond the cut, his customer service is what really sets him apart: friendly, attentive, and he makes sure you leave happy with your look. The shop has a great vibe, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients. Definitely 5-star service all around. Highly recommend booking with José if you want a sharp fade and a great experience. read more

I was searching for a new barber to go to in the Montebello area and after looking at a few choices, I decided to go to Family Barbers. Immediately when I walked in, I was greeted by Joe, the owner and barber there. The guy is awesome, he has knowledge about the area, cracks jokes, and makes you feel at home. He also gives a great haircut. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had and would definitely recommend to anyone of any age. read more

He delighted my wife and I with funny anecdotes and pro tips on how to care for our hair. The vibe is definitely fun and relaxed, like you're chatting with a friend. Would definitely recomendación everyone go get a cut from Jose, you won't be disappointed. read more

We've been having so much fun we've lost track of the years. Jose is a great barber and we've never left unsatisfied. One of the happiest Dodger fans you'll ever meet. Never come here for a quick cut... his haircuts are pure quality but have in mind you'll be here for 30 mins minimum. He treats people like family and is funnier than comedians at a comedy club. read more

So the owner pointed out a barber sitting in the middle. 10 minutes into the haircut. The owner comes over and starts showing this barber how to cut my sons hair!!!..... like literally coaching him through the haircut for almost another 15 minutes. I realized this barber is an apprentice and just learning how to cut hair!! When the apprentice barber finished up, I could tell that the cut had uneven in the back. I pointed these out to the owner and he was pretty dismissive saying that a "blowout has to look like that". When I asked the owner why he didn't tell us upfront that this was an apprentice barber, he literally said "how else are they supposed to learn". I know that a apprentice barbers are allowed to cut hair under the supervision of an Experienced and licensed Barber. But this is crazy!!! I feel that this should be shared with customers upfront. Never offered any type of remedy and were still charged the $30 full price!!!
