Jerry is everything you'd want in a friendly neighborhood barber - attentive, trustworthy, easy to talk to, experienced, and above all, great at what he does. Previously a pillar of the Koreatown community where he had his own shop for over 40 years (!), I recently visited him at his new location in Arcadia and was glad I made the trip. Finding a great barber in LA is no easy task, and after trying many all over the city and usually leaving dissatisfied with the service, cost or experience, I have always come back to Jerry for that essential feeling of leaving a haircut confident and rejuvenated in my new look. I have seen Jerry working with all types of customers over the years, and the care and attention he puts into every cut is evident. Splurge for a massage or a razor shave as the cherry on top! Thanks Jerry! read more

Honestly, Jerry is like your own personal hair stylist. I've been through several and I am glad to say he is my one and only barber. I am in the process of growing out my hair and Jerry takes care of cleaning it up to make my hair look clean while it's in the growing process. Parking: Street Parking Price: ~$20 for my cuts + tips Better to call in than to do a walk-in. He is easy to talk to. So it's easy to tell him exactly what you want. If the hair is 1/8-inch uneven, let him know. He will gladly fix it. I love his TV. Always playing some movie, sports, or anything you're dying to see. read more

Hey...Yelp...It's JAVIER's HAIR DESIGNS! He is quite possibly THEE best hair dresser in Koreatown, so please get it right. I mangled my hair by dying it black...myself. It was horrific. Andrew at MIIYU Spa (See review) sent me to see Javier! About 3 hours later, I looked magical! He's talented, inexpensive and so charizmatic. Loves him! read more

Jerry's Hair Designs - Javier's Magic! - Hair Salons Near Me - Arcadia, California

I've been getting my hair cut by Jerry for years and I am happy with it every time. He has a great new space in Arcadia and parking is convenient, either on the street or in the back lot. He is skilled and professional and I can't recommend him enough. read more

Jerry is awesome! I have taken my step-son here 4 times now, and he has always done a great job. My step son has a lot of hair and it grows fast, and Jerry always makes sure he gets the cut right. He is so kind and truly a genuine person. We have always been lucky and found a space to park in the front of the shop. Meter parking for those of you wondering. read more

Jerry's Hair Designs - Freshly cut by Jerry! - Hair Salons Near Me - Arcadia, California

I feel so ashamed that I've lived 3 minutes from this place for over 2 years and just now got a haircut from Jerry. Jerry is by far one of the kindest and most genuine people to talk to. He put so much care and detail into my haircut, which came out absolutely fantastic. I very highly recommend coming here. read more

This may sound like a very simple requirement, but it was not easy finding someone who really knows how to cut Asian men's hair. When I first moved here 3 years ago, I tried several highly-rated places in nearby Koreatown first, some very expensive. I wasn't looking for anything fancy. But if you have straight hair that is relatively thick/strong, if not properly cut, they will stick straight out in just a few days, creating a very different, untamable shape. Jerry knows how to cut hair in a way so that they stay basically in the same direction (remain flat) for weeks, looking as good as the day they're first cut. Jerry's prices are very reasonable. Always feel great after getting a good haircut here. Highly recommended. read more

I found this place because it was walking distance from my apartment. I stopped at a different barbershop first but they wouldn't cut my hair because I'm a woman. Jerry was nice and respectful. He gave me a good haircut at a fair price. I've come back once a month for the past two years even though I no longer live right around the corner. read more

Jerry himself is a VERY nice man and great to talk to...However.......... WEIRD HOURS Jerry opens & closes whenever he feels like it and doesn't follow the hours posted on his window. I had to come back 2-3 hours later because he wasn't open yet, and it was already 1 hour past his posted Open time. LET ME SEE THE MIRROR!!! The #1 thing that (really) irritates me about Jerry is that he NEVER, and I mean NEVER, has you facing the mirror. For a service-oriented place like a barber shop, it is important to face the mirror DURING the haircut, NOT AFTER. Jerry will have you either facing the wall or the doorway and not 'till the end do you see the haircut (and if you're not happy & want more work done, you look like the bad guy to everyone else waiting in line and hoping that you'll shut up & get off the chair already). HAIRCUTS ARE "HIT & MISS" I really think Jerry shines the best when he's doing more cosmetic work, because his haircuts for men are "hit & miss". He has tons of certifications on his wall, so I honestly think he makes more money off of that than the haircuts, so he isn't as motivated to do a good job on your haircut. NEVER HONORS "APPOINTMENTS" I would always call before going, since I am a very busy person and don't like waiting, and he would always say "You are next. I'll hold the spot for you. Come over!". Then I would show up, and he'd tell me that someone else was there before me. BOTTOM LINE If you live in the neighborhood and are within walking distance, then come to Jerry's since it doesn't involve a long trip. But if you're a busy person and/or are very particular about your hair, then this place may not be for you. I came here 5-6 times altogether because Jerry is very likeable and every other haircut was a good one, but I stopped coming because of all of the above. read more

This old dudes a joke. Charges like 20 bucks for a pompadour with a line, I came out feeling ripped off and violated. How dare this joker charge 20 bucks for a haircut was so uneven and my line so crooked that even a old ladies noticed it. Idk how everybody thinks this guy cuts hair like ice cube but no, please don't come here and pay 20 bucks for a a haircut my cousin Ginny can do for you and she just going to school right now. read more

I must say that having my hairs tended to is something of the sublime for me. He's a stout and gruff man and though I'd happily expected a punch at the end I did instead only receive a slathering of hair-gel. 5 stars. Well-done! read more

Been wanting to try this place out for a while as I'm trying to take my hair to new, longer places. The faux-hawk days and mom's haircut days may be over. During my time at USC the past few years, I've been frequenting a local barbershop which charges $8 bucks and gets you in and out in 15 minutes or so. Had to wait a little for Jerry as he was on a break and the place was locked up but upon sitting in a chair, it was all that was advertised on Yelp. He shook my hand and we introduced ourselves, a strong way to start a "close" relationship. /pun I told him what I wanted (a type of pompadour thing) and we discussed if my length of hair was suitable among other strategy. He then went to work and we discussed everything from Iron Man and Star Trek, to new Mayor Garcetti, and the current economic situation. It was great conversation and he's a funny and well-spoken individual. He also discussed how he is proud of high Yelp score and the care he places into each customer. He acts as if he's the one in the chair and gives the most care and detailed work he possibly can. He says with his level of care and his reasonable prices (he doesn't try to stiff people), he's satisfied with his business. Also, he's the only one that does the cuts cause he can't be sure the barbers he hires will give you the same level of detail and care. Talk to the guy and there's no way you won't like what he has to say about doing his job. After about 35-40 minutes maybe and much detailed work, including mousse and shaving cream action, my cut was complete. I am very satisfied with it. I didn't really know what I was going to say to the barber upon arrival but with Jerry's help, I left with a cut I was very happy with. Felt good to give business and recognition to a good guy too. As I walked out the door, he gave me one more joke for the road. He said "Wait! Watch for ladies being all over you once you step outside." Will do, Jerry. Will do. read more

Jerry's the man. If you need a cut, then you'll get a clean one here. But for $20, I expect a little more than just a simple touch up. He really makes the haircut a true experience. I'm talking big screen TV, AC, leopard print capes, you name it - he has it. Every few weeks, I come in and we chat about various subjects, and he has a great view about living life. Parking is usually easier to find weekdays, and usually you can get a spot right in front of the place. Make sure you put in a little extra time if y'all decide to talk more. Never been disappointed with a haircut, and I'll be returning for sure in the future. read more

Jerry is quite honestly the best barber I have ever been to. I used to live walking distance from his shop which made it easy to just call and say "Hey Jerry, you got some time for me in like 3 minutes?" "Oh, Sure Scott, come on over." However I moved away from that apartment and was concerned about finding another barber within walking distance. I tried a few places, but none of them worked out. Even though Jerry is no longer my neighborhood barber, I still make the trek to see him. I can say for certain at this point even if I ever move out of the city, state or country, I will find a way to make it back to Jerry whenever I need a trim. "Hey Jerry, you got some time for me in like 3000 minutes?" "Oh, Sure Scott, come on over." read more

So there I was, playing barber roulette again on yelp, in search of that one barber that can give me that perfect cut or fade I wanted every time. I pulled the trigger on Jerry's and finally I shooting myself in the head again with a disappointed haircut. So far, Jerry has given me a great hair cut every time and after watching him at work, this guys a straight artist. He knows and understands exactly how you want your hair to look. Another great thing about this place is that you get that "old school barbershop" vibe. Jerry provides an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere where people from all different generations can come and express opinions, share ideas, and even tell a dirty joke from time to time, all in a comfortable setting like the good ol' days. read more

Best barber in town, lots of services offered that no else has. Lots of experience, a nice environment, convenient and a great person to talk to. read more

See all

Best barber I've ever had. He kept my appointment time and cut my hair nicer than I ever thought. He even gave me some tip on maintaining my hair that worked. Coming back for my second cut today! read more

I've been coming to Jerry for Salon Miracles for over ten years now. From mullets to buzz cuts to sweet comb overs and color, Ive seen Jerry handle it all with amazing ability and aplomb. His prices are reasonable and he is an excellent conversationalist if you like talking. He also stays quiet if that how you like it. Needless to say, I highly recommend. read more

This is the ideal place for perfectionists. I've been cutting my own hair since I was 15 so I know exactly what works with my style. Then, I went to Jerry's. I can happily say I trust him with my hair and style. He is an artist who understands craftsmanship. Do not bother coming in when you have something else planned out. Set an appointment when you have extra time because he pays attention to details. I couldn't stop staring at myself in the mirror with a smile that stretched from ear to ear. Jerry is knowledgable and he utilizes professional techniques. It is a jewel when you meet someone who knows precisely what you are looking for AND who knows exactly what works best for you... And that's why I will be returning here for my hair. I don't like the word "cut" because I am a person of "Style." It is something personal and Jerry understands it well. The price might be on the higher side; however, after considering the service you get and the overall professionalism, it is all worth it. I am looking forward my next hairstyle ideas. Cheers :) read more

I came to get my hair tidied up. I was pleasantly surprised at Jerry with how accommodating and polite he is; he's a pretty chill guy. I feel like he knows what he's doing; he's been around the business for a while. I told him what I think I wanted and he took what my idea and made it better, and that's why I think he's a great barber. read more

Jerry's Hair Designs - Hair Salons Near Me - Arcadia, California

I don't write Yelp reviews frequently - usually only when a business moves me to an extreme (either happiness or anger). That said, it would be a crime if I didn't give a review of Jerry's Hair Designs. First off, I am extremely finicky about my hair. I go through a ton of barbers until I find one that I can trust. I found Jerry over a year ago and have not been to another Barber since. When you first walk into the door you are going to be greeted by Jerry, who is always friendly and always smiling. Rule #1 of business - if a customer feels welcome, they are much more likely to to return. And boy does Jerry make you feel welcome! Personality aside, he is a genius when it comes to cutting hair. He just gets it. He knows what cuts go with what texture of hair, he feels around the head before cutting so that he can get an idea of the shape, and he is a MASTER at blending. Simply put, if you are going to anyone else and you live in or around Koreatown, then you are screwing yourself out of a great haircut and a great experience. read more

Rarely does one find a servicer in this city who blends great service, a great product, and exceptional conversation. Jerry is the very paragon of excellent service, his haircuts are second to none, and his conversational manner has convinced me that he actually cares about me, rather than just my business. I seldom come across a barber who can handle my curly/wavy white guy hair, but Jerry seems to understand the very genetics of my hair and scalp, providing less of a haircut and more of a concerto which flows from the snips of the overture gradually into the buzz and cut of the crescendo. 10/10 read more

I intentionally did not shave for 3 days. Knowing I was going to Jerry's for a haircut, i decided to enhance the experience with an old fashioned barbershop shave. Great! experience. Walked out looking good and feeling better. As usual, thanks Jerry. read more

Been going here for several haircuts now. Jerry is the best! Super friendly dude and always working hard to give you the best haircut. Tell him what you want or give him a picture and he'll cut it exactly how you want it. Best barber I ever been too. . read more

It's all done by one person - Jerry! he's the best. He is like a father figure who is patient and very friendly. He really takes his time to cut your hair the way you requested. What made me his customer is his generosity and sincerity. We always talk about movies, politics, sports, or anything that's on his TV. If I stay quiet, he takes the hint and doesn't try to start a conversation. He will not get offended if you tell him you're tired and you don't feel like talking. He's very laid back and understanding. For haircuts, he is at a master level. He cuts it very clean and organized. It's all lined straight and perfect. trust me, he really really takes his time and cut hairs swiftly. There isn't a single hair that sticks out or is cut out of pattern. If you want a cut, set up an appointment. Be there 10 mins early. It's not fair for Jerry if you come 5 mins late and there's a customer that is waiting. Don't complain if your appointment gets pushed. Be there early or at least on time. It's a one man's business. Put yourself in his shoes and try to understand. read more

The reason I go to Jerry's is because of the following: 1. Jerry always checks with you about the way you want the haircut. He doesn't just ask you before he cuts it, he also checks with you as he's cutting it to make sure there's no dissatisfaction. 2. The air conditioning, the tv, the general ambiance. Too many time at other barbers or salons, they don't turn the air conditioning on! I'll be sitting there sweating down my neck as they cut my hair. Let me tell you, the worst feeling in the world is to have that electric shaver scrape on your neck while you're hot and sweaty. Whether or not Jerry is aware of that, I don't know, but this establishment is synonymous with comfort and convenience. 3. The touch ups at the end. Jerry always follows a haircut up with a razor shave on your sideburns, neck, and edges. It gives that clean cut, razor clean look to your hair that a lot of professionals will ignore. It feels amazing too, because it burns with a cool sensation that makes you feel like you just downed a glass of cold beer. read more

I live a few blocks away from Jerry's Hair Design and I've walked by many times without going in. I finally decided to go in. As I stood outside the door, I peeked in and saw his smiling face waving me in. He noticed my reluctance and immediately reassured me that I was welcome and that he knows how to cut a Black man's hair. Not only can he cut my hair, he has great attitude and reasonable prices. It was the best decision that I made all day. While I was there, I noticed a few of his regular customers would walk by and wave hello as they passed by his shop. To me, that is a sign of a dedicated professional that has made his mark in the neighborhood. His shop is cozy with no frills. Just a flatscreen tv and good conversation with an experienced barber. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Jerry was AMAZING! I got my haircut and he did an incredible job. so precise and thorough.. explaining each step and why its important. very relaxing and is definitely my new barber Thanks Jerry! read more

So ill be honest Jerry and Andy kill it. Real good at cutting hair and they know how to tailor to your needs. They also have a fat television always running so you dont have to stare into nothingness while getting your haircut. Way better than the other korean places in ktown since you can actually speak to them. Highly recommend. Oh he also gave out free coffee. So its like starbucks meets a hair salon. read more

This a joke how i get charge 25 dollars for danm simple haircut, not even a wash, and anything, cost too much might as well drive 5 miles to a different location them coming back to this place it even a really not worth going forth and still i get ask for a tip!! Really how you dust the hair off my shoulder and get on my danm shoe read more

Everything I could ask for from a barber. Really relaxed environment- Free wifi, TV, water, and good conversation. I showed Jerry a picture of what I wanted and it was exactly what I got. Jerry had great stories and was really charming, no forced conversation which is all too common at barbershops/salons. He's been at this location for almost 23 years, and the experience definitely shows. He took his time making sure everything looked perfect, and I got a great haircut for $17(his price range is $15-20 depending on length). From now on I won't go anywhere else! read more

Excellent! It's great to stumble across people who understand their craft / skills as "Art", and that's Jerry for you. An old-school perfectionist. *Jerry es no solo un excelente barbero y estilista sino tambien un artista con las tijeras. Altamente recomendable! read more

I've been getting my haircut from Jerry for years. He's not only a great barber but someone you feel very comfortable with, which is a must if you're going to sit there for a while. I recommend him without hesitation. And try his massages too! read more

I've been to Jerry's 3 times now. He is the only hair stylist/barber I have ever felt loyalty to. He is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home. He also listens to what you want and cuts your hair as he asks. If you're a filmmaker, Jerry might even watch your work and give you feedback. He watches more TV/movies than most execs in LA. HA! read more

I've always been careful who I choose to cut my hair and Jerry knows what he is doing. He is extremely nice and welcoming, we always have great conversations about anything. I definitely recommend this place, they will take good care of you. My hair is always looking good when I get out of his shop! read more

I've been going to Jerry's since I was five or six. I'm 20 now and If I ever need a cut, I always go to Jerry's. He knows exactly what I want and never fails me. He's good guy and he knows what he's doing. I tell my friends about him and even they are pleased with his work. I would recommend Jerry's to anyone who needs a cut; best barber around. read more

About 18 years ago, my regular barber got sick and I needed to find a new one fast. I decided to try a local barbershop by the name of Jerry's, which was just a few blocks from my house. Fast forward to 2013, and Jerry's is still the place where my hair calls home. Why do I keep coming back? A great, quality haircut, at a great price. It's been that way for almost 20 years. And, best of all, Jerry is a great guy and he will make you feel super comfortable while you are in the chair. You can talk to him about almost anything. Jerry is well versed in sports, politics, and even conspiracy theories! He is the man! I now live in Sylmar, California, which is not quite 3 blocks away (More like 25 miles). There are tons of barbershops out here, but I keep going to Jerry's (That should give you a good idea of how good he is). Take my word and give Jerry's a try the next time you need a good cut. You will not be disappointed. read more

It's so my daughter has really been wanting her haircut with designs I've gone to 4 different places before I found out about jerrys from a friend. called he was driving and I went ahead and made an appointment he gave me his direct cell phone number to text him to confirm in the morning along with the picture of what my daughter wanted. my daughter was so excited for this haircut I actually picked you up from school a little bit early. For us to get there and the place says that they are close and that they moved locations. I called his cell again he answered and he said that he was in Beverly Hills and wouldn't be able to make it & he never got a confirmation text from me. But standing with me in front of his Barber Shop was another man who has just made an appointment an hour before.I'm sure this Barber is great and I'm sure he's talented but from what I witness he does not have a barbershop that he's working out of right now. read more
