I would like to thank Carlos for his professionalism, awesome vibes and great conversation. Called for a walk in and said come on in. Clean barber shop. Carlos took the time to make sure I got the look I wanted. Prices are fair compared to today's market. He's been in eagle rock area for 20 plus years. Thanks Carlos I will be back soon read more

Carlos, the owner and lead barber, is a true master of his craft. He has an eye for detail that makes every cut perfect, whether you're after something sharp and modern or a classic style. On top of that, he's got a real love for cars, and chatting with him while in the chair makes the time fly by. It's like catching up with an old friend. I haven't gotten a cut from Junior, but he makes me laugh every time I'm there. Together, Carlos and Junior create an atmosphere that's real, fun, and family. You can tell they care deeply about their clients, and it shows in both the quality of the work and the vibe of the shop. The shop itself is a blast from the past. It's an old-school LA-style barbershop with that timeless charm you just don't find everywhere anymore. The walls, the chairs, the Dodgers, the energy takes you back, while still feeling fresh. Bottom line: Jake's Barbershop isn't just where you go to get a haircut...it's where you go to feel part of a community. Carlos and Junior make you feel like family, and you walk out not only looking sharp but also smiling. Five stars, easily. read more

Went to Jake's' for a haircut. Got my hair cut done by Marcello. He was good and I'm very happy with my haircut! He did everything I asked for. Definitely going back to him! I would recommend the shop ! read more

Great barber. Carlos is solid and is professional. Chill vibes. Not easy to find parking at times but worth the effort!!

You know that old tv commercial from Geico, "it's so easy even a caveman can do it?" well yeah, I'm starting to look like that guy, Thank goodness to Jake's Barber Shop - I didn't have to spend Christmas like a woolly mammoth! Junior did such a fantastic job trimming and cutting that mop on my head I even startled myself after he's done with it hahaha but kidding aside, he is such a pro and really cool guy! I like that this barber shop conforms with all COVID-19 protocols to safely operate and as uncomfortable as it may seem for him - all the barbers wore their mask the whole time! Thank you for being very considerate! I am not sure if they are open again due to the recent lockdown prior to Christmas but when they open back up and you need a trim/shave/haircut - call Jake's, awesome barbers in here who knows what they're doing. All the best to the new year! read more

Jake's Barber Shop - Thank you Junior for turning this caveman back into modern day human! Cheers! - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This was my first time having someone else cut my hair since the pandemic started. I walked in and was initially told that there were no spots available, but Carlos offered to cut my hair real quick before he left for the day. He did an excellent job, giving me a new style! I'm looking forward to coming back in a month. read more

Recently moved to LA and was looking for a new place to get a cut. I have pretty thick hair and get a flat top which isn't too common these days so it's tough to find a good barber for my hair. Junior did and excellent job with lots of time, precision, and care that delivered an over the top experience. I was thoroughly impressed with his commitment to the fine details that took lots of time but also ensured the haircut was perfect. I was several minutes late but Junior even stayed after to polish up the sides and top. Excellent experience and haircut, will come again soon. Thank you Junior!! read more

My 6 year old hates the buzzer. One day he' wants a haircut like daddy's and I warned him, the buzzer will be used and he agreed. Off to Jakes. Carlos understood the situation and did an amazing job. read more

Jake's Barber Shop - Fresh fade and small trim at the top. - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I go here every month for my regular cut. Junior always does an amazing job. This shop is a gem!

My go-to barbershop! Great spot with fun, chill vibes! All of the barbers are awesome, but I recommend Beau for a cut! She's the best! read more

Have not been here for years. In town to attend a wedding. Need a cut. Was just trying to see to squeeze me in. Only 2 people was getting a cut when i walked in. They say they fully booked and online only. Loose out on my business. I say that was bad on them read more

These guys are following all the Covid guidelines. Temperature taking, masks and partitions between stations. Call for an appointment, the automated appointment system is not working. Call them up, I repeat, call them up. I didn't like the automated system, glad I called, I got an appointment in 2 hours from my call. Happy I could get in, had been cutting my own hair for four months, give these guys a call! I'm sorry I forgot my Barber's name, very friendly and a damn good Barber, he has a beard and a good sense of humor. Tip generously, if you can, tough business now! read more

Had a great clean up from Max a month ago and came back for a hair and beard cut with Carlos - both were great. Appreciated Carlos's attention to detail and changed up the cut that I had - came out with a much better look. Chill vibe - highly reccomend. read more

BEAU, oh!, Wow!, Thank you for a really great cut and beard trim I am a loyalist for your soft touch Beau, you are over the top - Carlos, you can retire now read more

Can't go wrong with getting a cut at Jake's! I've gotten a fade from a couple of their barbers and have been satisfied every time!

Carlos is great! My 15 year old son came in for (what he thought) would be a great new haircut. It wasn't lol. Carlos delivered, but gave my son the option to come back IF he decided he didn't like the new do. Carlos was more than helpful in cleaning him up. We have been here a few times in the past and will definitely continue to come for the service. read more

Junior is my go-to professional barber. His blending technique is on point. He has a cheerful attitude and always asks for your opinion before he goes and cuts off some hair. I simply showed him a video of a previous haircut and he was able to provide a better cut. Ask for Junior and you'll be in good hands. read more

I used to come here before the pandemic. I finally decided to grow my hair out and stop buzzing my hair. I came back looking like a fuzz ball and came out looking like a normal man. I also love that you can make an appointment now. I've come back 3 times since and it's always a great experience! read more

Junior has become my 'go to' barber. I recently discovered Jake's and didn't know what to expect, but Junior has now given me a better cut on 3 separate occasions than I've had in many years. Wish I had discovered this barber years ago. On top of an excellent cut, he's also a good dude with a great personality. And the price for a cut is reasonable and can't be beat. Highly recommend both this barber shop and Junior! read more

I'm a regular at Jake's and was trying to book a reservation thru Yelp. For some reason Yelp was telling me that Jake's wasn't doing online reservations anymore. So I went there thinking that they were back doing walk ins again. Yelp is wrong! You have to go to Goggle and there you'll see the link to book online. Luckily for me my guy Marcelino's appointment flaked on him and was able to cut my hair. Another great cut. Thanks guys. read more

Always a great cut. Reliable and quality. Can't beat this shop in NELA. Best in the area hands down. Johnny is great. Attention to detail is next level. read more

I made a same day appointment for my son this past Saturday. My son was happy. They received him promptly and Jr was his barber. Jr fixed up his covid bad haircut and more importantly, my son felt that the shop was very clean and precautions were taken to ensure everyone's safety. read more

Best barbers in town. No contest. Do yourself a favor - let them help your messed up dome piece. read more

I showed up for an appointment I made a week prior only to have the barber totally dismiss me and tell me they are too busy to take me. I rescheduled but later called to cancel the new appointment because I needed a haircut that day. The guy tried to say I never came and that he didn't have the new appointment either. Get it together dude. Not the sharpest tool in the shed working here. read more

I tried cutting my own hair thinking that I could save money in the long run (bad idea). Instead, I made my hair look ridiculous. I saw that this place had a good review on yelp and decided to come in and do a reset on my hair. There were 4 staff members at the shop. All of them were friendly and being that I'm a woman getting a haircut at a barbershop, I felt really comfortable. What I appreciated was the care and precision that each person took with their customers. Everyone left looking great, with fresh haircuts. Overall, I'm really happy with the service I received. I'll be back the next time I need a trim. Pros: -friendly staff -workers are very detailed and take great care when cutting hair -reasonably priced (my cut was $25.00) -great with children and adults Cons: -free street parking (no parking lot). -only accepts cash so be sure you have money on you read more

So my son made a appointment to go get his hair cut at 5pm and when i went to go pick him up he wasnt happy with his hair , he said they messed it up so i asked him if he told the guy that was cutting his hair if he can fix it and the guy told him next , what kind of shit is that i find that unprofessional and for the amount they charge for a hair cut and he couldnt even fix it and to not even ask him while he was cutting is hair if this length was ok , my son will not be going there anymore , make sure to not let the guy at the end next to the mirrors cut ur hair unless u want it messed up so he can tell u next time . So that is why they only getting one star read more

Got a cut with Junior for $35. He took his time and did a fantastic job at giving me a fresh tapered cut. The shop was clean and nice. It was a 45 minutes well spent. Thanks Junior! read more

No manches guey ! ! (Thanks for the gramatical correction there...Erica C. ! ! I'm Salvadoran...what you expect ?) This is it...this is the place where tradition lives... You get recognized quickly, either for good or bad ! This place is so low key...that it doesn't have a sign saying...You've arrived at Jake's Barber Shop...even the locals don't know about it...naw...that's a straight up lie...All the locals know about it and come to get their head in shape, or come to sit and pass time, telling stories of the past or of recent fair. Honestly, a man's man kinda shop...for instance we covered these themes today: - Our favorite subject...Womensk and about how to pull girls on the rebound. - Then about best 80's movie...I mentioned Teen Wolf and immediately everyone clowned me...wtf ? I liked it - Then about a 86 Chevy Silverado w/ a 3" lift and how it looked better before the lift...3 of the 5 agreed...the owner, not one of them...haha ! - Then about a bum standing outside a Del Taco in Atwater Village (yes, the one by The Griffen), who pop locked his azz off for a chance at some chump change, (got lucky...got $5 outta it ! ) - Then we talked, again, about the ladies...how come there's always a hater amongst the group and wants to cockblock at all cost...even when her friend is interested...huh? - Then about the thriving night scene going on down York Blvd...sh*t...I remember that NO ONE would be out at that time of night, unless you had a shaved head n' was looking for trouble ! - Then about the somewhat sad incident that happened at Safari Sam's during the Manic Hispanic Concert...some fookar got stabbed in the neck, when all the concert goers were out on the parking lot...poor kid...but he asked for it...so... Anywho...this place will set you straight and get you informed on all sorts of subjects...and the best part...check it...under $ 20...including a hefty tip! So like my Greenspan's review... http://www.yelp.com/user_details_review_search?q=Walk+in+a+square....walk+out+like+you+have+a+clue&userid=7NnyLLX1bNVVEB2tFXsOww You'll walk in a square, but you'll look like you knows what's up, once you leave the barber shop ! ! So come on in and let either Carlos or Jimmy take care of ya, both are true artesians. Oh...a tip...gentlemen...don't bring your ladies...you'll just look like a fool while everyone gets their haircut...in silence. read more

Good place for a reliable cut. Have been coming to Jake's for a few months now. Junior is my regular barber. He does a nice job every time. Very good communication. He always asks to make sure he understands what you want and checks in to make sure you're happy with your cut. You can tell he takes pride in his work and it shows. Haven't gotten cuts from any of the other barbers, but they all seem to know what they're doing and they have good continuity. At other barbershops I've been to, you never know who you're going to get or their skill level. Timing is consistent as well. Haven't ever had to wait much past my appointment time. They can be pretty busy, but as long as you book an appointment a little in advance you should be good to go: https://booksy.com/en-us/200069_jakes-barbershop-eagle-rock_barber-shop_134655_los-angeles Just make sure you have cash since they're cash only and I don't think they have an ATM onsite. read more

These guys are decent. Carlos(the main guy) situated closest to the window, has been in Eagle Rock for years. Jake's has been through some turnover. Carlos trains them and then new barbers come along. If you have the time, then this spot is for you. I used to go here first thing in the morning before they even open to avoid the rush. Calling ahead sometimes helps but it usually is a wait. Its a cool spot to hangout and spend some quality time with the barbers who are entertaining. It used to be $10 then $15 a cut but I guess they are keeping up with the industry standards proceed for cuts are now $25. They keep it old school so no appointments and first come first serve basis. read more

Easily the best haircut I've ever received. I typically would go somewhere just to get a specific number on the top and side. I came in and was instantly greeted by each barber. It's a small, but real welcoming place. Junior was my barber and asked me what I was looking for. As I was talking to him I could tell he's a real class act and hilarious guy to be buddies with. I had a wedding coming up and and just started watching Mad Men and told him I want it like Don Draper. He knew exactly what to do. Short & tapered on the side, long & full on the top. As he was cutting my hair, he was training another barber. As he was passing him tips, you could tell he really knew what he was doing and focuses to the smallest detail in accordance to your hair. He also gave me a straight razor on the neck and face showing what else they could do. Afterwards, they recommended me a blue gel called Champion. It doesn't flake because their is no alcohol in it. I was easily impressed and very gratified by the work they have gave me. Only downside is the wait is typically about an hour (so I hear, but have yet to experience that). Luckily I was there the day after 4th of July so there was no wait. I have now found my barbershop. read more

It was a great experience. The cut my son was great, my son was happy with the fade. I'll see them again soon. Do recommend this spot. read more

All the barbers at Jakes are very welcoming. I usually get my cuts from Carlos or Edgar and they give great cuts. They take a full 45 minutes to make sure your hair is cut the way you want it. read more

I've had my haircut here for the last 3 times over the last 3-4 months and there is a reason I keep coming back. They do a great job, especially Carlos. Sometimes he'll do a quality control check on some of the other guys (Radar and Junior) to make sure that you're getting a quality cut. Cuts are $15 and no complaints; it's worth at least $20 in my opinion. Great atmosphere too. It's got the real barbershop/mancave feel because that's what it is. The guys do outnumber the girls at this place. Walking in is like coming home. Good customer service, great people, and great results. That's a good business right there. read more

Still the best barbershop for me... We moved to west covina but this place wants me to go back again and again. Loved this place, everyone knows their shit. Price tag for haircut is $25 but its worth the drive. Best time to come on a weekday afternoon no lines. Like everyone is chillin outside when its not busy Still the bomb for me. read more

The type of haircut that you'd have to pay over a hundred dollars for, they give to you for 40$. Great place, great guys, great price.

I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life, and in Highland Park for 10 years and had a lot of haircuts in that time. Jake's is the hands down the best barber shop I've come across ever. While all the guys are awesome, Junior is the best. I like my hair cut short, with nice clean lines, and a tight fade... Junior comes through every time. I've never had to ask him to change anything he's done. And while his jokes and running commentary are funny, he's always respectful. I recommend this place to everyone. If you want a cut that makes you look your best, go see Junior at Jake's. read more

Beau is a skilled barber and such a breathe of fresh air! I loved how she communicated and touched base with me throughout the process to ensure the cut/fade is exactly what I wanted. She is professional, funny af, and so easy to talk to. What a great experience. I just moved to the area and I feel lucky to have found this spot. I will definitely be returning and recommending her to friends and family read more
