Trust the reviews I'm a travel nurse here from out of town. I travel a lot and I typically won't trust my hair to anyone. I'll wait as long as 12 months to return home to have a cut/trim with my one person there. But... I decided to put my trust in Jesse after having diligently combed through both yelp and google reviews. And well, here we are. Not your typical salon experience.. maybe that's what I was looking for all along. Trust the reviews read more

See all

30 day grow out review. This cut looked fantastic as it grew out, gave me more options and looked fantastic. Got an update and totally trusted Jesse on the cut, and glad I did. Such a versatile cut, styles many ways for a motorcycle rider. read more

What a guy! Jesse's the real deal with a scissor in hand. This was my first cut with him, and luckily he was able to squeeze me in right before closing. He didn't hesitate and said come on by in 15 mins. I lost my previous barber, no hard feelings, but I'm so glad I found this guy. He took his time, wasn't rushed, and relied mostly on scissors, not the machine like most do. He made me feel totally at ease, which is a plus when someone's swinging a sharp object by your head. I walked out of there with the best cut I've had in years. Enjoy my little tribute to Jesse's excellent work! read more

Had a hairstyle in mind and contacted a place where they are specialized in cuts, no coloring. Unfortunately the stylist didn't want to cut my hair as I wanted and didn't provide any pictures of the model he suggested. Didn't feel comfortable enough to trust my hair with that. read more

This is hands down the best hair cut you can get in LA. I had Jesse recommended to me a few years ago and have never looked back. He is a true artist with his work, always takes his time, and never settles for anything less than excellence because you are a walking example of his work. Can't possibly recommend him more! read more

Jesse is a fantastic hair slicer. Been going to him for couple years now and will continue to do so. I have thick longer hair and I appreciate how much he tailors the cut based on my hair, head, and face structure. read more

THE BEST! My previous hair dresser closed her shop during the pandemic and did not reopen. I was so upset. I have thin fine hair that if not cut properly, can easily look awful........ I turned to YELP for help. I read tons of reviews and looked at each hairdresser's pictures of their work to see if I liked thier sense of style. So many of the styles looked exactly the same (nothing unique, creative or interesting). Then I came across Jesse. I was a little on the fence when I found out that you wash and dry your hair before the house call and he doesn't actually style your hair with hot tools or blow dryer. But I loved his haircut photos on YELP and liked all of the five-star reviews. I went ahead and made my house call (so convenient) appointment. I'm so happy that I did. It's absolutely the most incredible haircut that I have ever had! Not only is Jesse professional, humble and sweet, he is a true artist. I have never had a haircut that was as amazing the day it was cut and remained amazing so many months later as it grew out. I love my haircut. Jesse is THE BEST!! read more

Jesse gave me an amazing haircut, my hair just gets better everyday! After having more than a few years of less than epic haircuts, I think I forgot what may hair can actually do. It has so much body and movement now and it's so easy to take care of. I'm super excited to see how the grow out is but I bet it will be awesome even as it grows. Jesse has such a calm vibe and it's so great that he comes to you! What more could you ask for? read more

Since moving to SoCal two years ago, Jesse is one of just two immaculate service providers who make us feel at home and well set up here. In addition to being an interesting guy and fun conversationalist, he has a great sense of creativity, balance, and precision. We always enjoy his company and equally are pleased with the consistently great cuts he generates. read more

Jesse is truly an artist at what he does and I couldn't recommend him enough. He gave my hair so much texture and I absolutely love my new cut! East to maintain and looks great without any fuss. I'd been overdue for a cut. After reading reviews I decided to reach out to Jesse. He was quick to respond and informed me he only does house calls at the moment. I was hesitant at first, but he reminded me that a great hair cut is so much more than a good shampoo at a salon. I'm so happy I went ahead and scheduled with him. I love my cut and he was so easy and fun to talk to. read more

Jesse is the best. Very easy to schedule an appointment. No need to leave your place and go to the salon. He has incredible attention to detail and will spend about an hour or as long as it takes to get the cut right. Good value at $100 for men's cut. Highly recommend. read more

I'd almost given up on finding someone talented, trust worthy and easy to be with when it comes to my hair. Then I found Jesse. He made it super easy and effortless to book a house call. The minute he walked in the front door, he started tuning in to my hair. I could see him studying it while we talked ideas. I have short hair and love when it's edgy with plenty of texture and Jesse delivered. Thank you! Will definitely book again. read more

Jesse is amazing!! My haircut is so epic and he's such a joy to work with!! What a score!!

I found the best person to cut my hair! I like how Jesse customized the style that made me feel more like myself. I love my haircut. The entire process was enjoyable and great to learn some tips too. Thanks!! read more

I live in New York but wanted to get my hair cut by Jesse yesterday after he did a great job with my sister's hair. He's fantastic - he took his time and really paid attention to what works best for my hair in particular. If you want a cut that accentuates your natural movement, I can't recommend Jesse enough. Will be getting another cut from him the next time I'm in LA. read more

Jessie is fantastic! He is a true artist when it comes to cutting hair. I was growing out my hair and wasn't happy with the in between look that my previous stylist had settled on. Luckily I found Jessie. It was super easy to make appt w/him to do a house call. He cuts your hair to your face. Thankfully he cut off a lot of weight from my hair and in the end he made my hair actually look longer then when we started!! I am so happy that I just let him do his thing - he is like Edward scissorhands- definitely a master of shears. I loved my haircut!!! One of the best I've ever gotten in my life. During our conversation Jessie told me to trust the process not him - well Jessie I trust you 100%. He is a super nice guy with great energy - it really was an enjoyable evening! Can't wait to see what he does with my hair at my next appt... read more

Jesse is an artist who sculpts hair. Been trusting his eyes and hands for four years. read more

Jesse is great! He came to our apartment and gave stellar haircuts to both me and my husband - very convenient, and truly the best haircuts we've both ever had! Jesse is an artist. He has a wonderful eye and brings out the best in one's natural hair by working with wave/curl patterns, face shape, hair density, etc (as opposed to some hair stylists who merely give you a specific kind of "cut"). Jesse is also very easy and comfortable to work with - a really nice, down to earth guy. We will both be booking appointments again with Jesse in the future! read more

Jesse is truly the BEST. I was in town for a few days for work and desperate for a haircut. I did a quick search and found Jesse and his glowing reviews that seemed almost too good to be true. Someone said he transformed their boring flat hair which was exactly what I needed. He did JUST THAT. By far the best haircut I've ever had - gave my hair movement and a natural wave that I didn't know it had. So obsessed and will likely be flying from NY to LA for haircuts from here on out ;) but in all seriousness, SEE JESSE! Also he cut my hair in the yard of my Airbnb and was just a great vibe. Can't recommend enough read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Jesse for years and fully trust his eye and attention to detail. Jesse is a rare talent - I always say his cuts have soul and big personality. He's versatile and can pivot with different styles, while giving you a fresh look. If you are looking for something with a rock n roll feel, Jesse is THE expert. I can't recommend him enough. Thanks Jesse!!!! read more

Where do I start? Jesse was absolutely amazing. He's a great communicator to book with and was happy he does house calls. He took time to talk to me about not just the cut but hair preservation and taught me terms of the cut. I felt like a celebrity and loved talking with him. This is the best cut ever and he's so talented. I highly recommend! Professional and knowledgeable plus a really nice person! Thank you Jesse!! read more

Jesse is an artist. Come in with an idea of what you want, he'll honor it and improve upon it. You'll get great comments on his haircuts. I do. Oh-and he's an expert with hair coloring too. read more

Jesse has so many years of experience and you can tell he is cutting hair as an art and by feel. I really appreciate how he cuts to make my hair look full and has movement, but takes off the weight. I just got a compliment today (over a Zoom meeting) on how it looks so thick! She could even notice over a screen. He's the only one I trust for hair cuts! read more

I've been fortunately getting my haircut by Jesse for a many years now. I don't know how he does it, but he makes me look better than anyone else I've ever had cut my hair. He's definitely a well seasoned expert who's as passionate as they come about making you look amazing. Schooled at Vidal Sassoon and cutting and styling for years, he just bring a level of detail and artistry to your hair. My head can be a little oblong, with a high forehead, and thinning hair and I'm telling you...when I leave the one of Jesses cut, it's as if I grew hair, got better looking, and lost 10 years of aging. On top of being an awesome and unique stylist, he's an awesome guy. Very nice, fun to chat with, and just an overall enjoyable person. He's professional, extremely clean, and if I ever moved from LA...I just assume bring him with me rather than find another stylist...he's that kind of stylist. You just don't want anyone else, once Jesse has done your hair. He even cuts my moms hair now and is her favorite stylist. She raves about him just the same. Thank you Jesse for making me a little bit better looking every time I see you. Catchya soon read more

Jesse of Venice - Hair Stylists Near Me - Venice, California

Jesse is so amazing!! for the first time ever, my naturally curly hair is just wash and go because of the effortlessness style and manageability of the cut he gave me. He's really great at cutting the hair for the individual and will give you something that works for you & that you will love :)) thanks Jesse ! read more

Jesse is a hair angel! I have thick, wavy hair and it's been hard to find someone for years that can handle it. Couldn't be more happy w the resukts. I've been thru a lot of stylists and Jesse is the best. read more

He's like a man goddess that reads the tarot of your hair. What tales does the tresses tell? It's hard to say? He plays with your hair like it's a disassembled Harp that longs to sing a song. When he hears it's message, there will be no stopping him. He's gonna shape your hair into a masterpiece of beauty. Exhilarating to trust in this unique process, because he is an artist. He can look at you and know exactly what you need before you even know it yourself. I love this hair man and his read on my style. He is as unique as his haircuts. 100% Legit read more

I asked Jesse to be my hair guy today. He told me he already was. And scene. I mean, check out this super fun and versatile cut he just gave me. I loved the first cut he gave me several weeks ago when I told him I was growing it out. He worked his magic and found me the perfect cut. When I told him then that I was looking for a permanent hair dresser he told me he was more of a hair artist - and I leaned in and said tell me more - so maybe it was hair love at first sight. But yes, he said yes and I now have a hair person for the first time in nearly nine years! Life is about celebrating a series of beginnings and endings and while this wasn't my first hair cut with Jesse (duh, why would I rush into finding a hair person?) this was a new relationship. I had my Adriana in New York for 13 years (who was also Charlotte Rae's hairdresser), I had Tony in Clapham for 2 (and some of the wildest cuts circa mid-2000s Euro that involved bleaching) so it's part of what's been missing in my life in LA. I was missing those constants that make you feel like a part of community. It really is all about the little things that are actually really big things. #BigHairDontCare @ Venice, California read more

Absolutely love my hair cut! It has life again. He really took time to see what would work best and knew how to deal with fine hair like mine. I also loved the toner I got. Thanks, Jesse! read more

Jesse is by far the best hairdresser that I have ever been to! My hair was long, dead, flat, and I had no idea what I wanted. He really took the time to understand my hair type, texture, thickness and personal style to give me a cut that would suit me best. I have pretty thick hair, and he did an incredible job layering it to really bring back my natural wave and volume. He gave me exactly what I wanted without me even knowing what I wanted! Jesse truly brings a whole other level of artistry, attention to detail, and passion to his craft. He is a wonderful soul and the only person that I will trust to do my hair from now on. Could not recommend more! read more

I have been going to Jesse since 2017. He has always given me great haircuts and takes a long time to understand my hair (i.e., its tendency to curl) and to get the cut "just right" to ensure that I am pleased with the end product. He never tries to upsell me on treatments that I do not need and always has good product recommendations. Highly recommend. read more

Love love love Jesse. He's been cutting my hair for a long time! Also it smells good in there. And he's funny! But he really cuts hair amazingly. Both my wife and I go here. I found this after moving to the Santa Monica area, by asking people around my neighborhood for haircut suggestions. The care and thoroughness Jesse takes in crafting a haircut is evident, and the lively conversation is something I look forward to every time. I've found a gem here, and urge anyone reading these reviews to stop in and visit Jesse. read more

Jesse has been my hair master for many years . He is an incredibly talented artist who transforms your hair into perfection. I often get compliments on my cut and color from strangers just passing me- that's how good Jesse's hairdressing skills are. I love his kind approach and fun to be with. 1000 star review ! read more

Had an exceptional haircut with Jesse Kirschner. He's beyond gifted. Although I was providing some direction about what I wanted, he kindly listened initially, but then advised me to trust him and that he could cut and style my hair in a way that works best for my face, look, and shape of my head. He did. Simply amazing. He spent over 1.5 hrs on a men's haircut and it was worth every penny. He's really gifted and I encourage you to trust him and just close your eyes. Wow. read more

Just got my hair cut by Jesse. He is so detailed in his work. A real artist. Takes his time to understand your specific hair and how it flows. How it best complements your face. He came over and we had a great time taking while he spent over an hour fine tuning the style. When he was done my cut was perfect. Just how I'd always hoped it would look one day. Finally they day is here. Thanks Jesse! read more

Wow. Best haircut I've ever had. Never quite had an experience like it. He took so much time on my hair, a haircut. I never realized how important a good cut would or could be. It had always been an after thought. Not for Jesse. He studied my hair and then cut it, over the course of an hour. I'm so so happy. And grateful. read more

Had an appointment with Jesse a few months ago & it was amazing. I came in just for a hair cut bc I couldn't figure out on the website how to book more. He immediately asked if I wanted a toner (I did) and we got down to business! Hair looked awesome, highly recommend read more

I've been having my hair cut by Jesse for a couple years now, and each time is a home run! I've never had the same haircut twice, because I always want something new. I love sitting down in his chair and letting him do his magic; he knows what I like and what works for my life and style. Sometimes I bring in reference pictures that inspire him to create a look just for me, other times I tell him to just make it shorter. No matter what, I always leave with a trendy and livable haircut. I keep my hair short, never below my chin. It's un-dyed and I don't put much effort into styling it. Jesse works with what I've got and what I'm willing to do. Jesse is professional, creative, sweet, and funny. I can't recommend him enough! read more

JESSE IS AMAZING!!! Hands down the best hair artist I've come across and have been lucky and blessed to find! Not only is he a kind gentle spirit but he knows how to CUT hair!!! He takes his time and it is truly an art form what he can do. When ever Jesse cuts, colors or styles my hair I get compliments from every angle. Everyone loves my hair including myself! He listens to what you are looking, always asks the right questions and knows exactly what to do to achieve the perfect look for each individual. I have seen other work Jesse has done in the past and recently and he just gets HAIR! Everyone should be getting there hair done by JESSE!!!! read more
