Jesse's Barber Shop is where you want to get a professional haircut. It's a family owned business and although they're all excellent barbers, Sharay is by far my number one pick. In fact I hope to see her name one day on the front of the main window! Keep up the excellent service Jesse's team! read more

More like a spot for old ppl Let's be honest Jesse's barbers had their good years but now they can't even listen to any instructions not good with modern hairstyles I thought I was being specific but I asked for the taper on the sides and to trim the back hairs from the neck this man went ahead and chopped my whole hair when I said taper on the sides only couldn't even give me a discount talk about a horrible experience I'm so mad don't come here unless you want your hair massacred I'm never coming here again read more

The hippo has a big ego, rescheduled me for no reason, gave zero explanation. Don't come here, you're better off going somewhere else.

I've been a customer since 2014 and will never leave. Yaya is the best professional and is great at her job. Get an appointment and try her out, she that good! read more

My husband is very picky when it comes down to cutting his hair. He doesn't like to go to beauty salons because he thinks it is for woman only. We found this little shop near our mechanic. We had time to kill while he was fixing our car so we decided to look for a barber shop. There was so many other beauty salons, but this was the closest barber shop. When I opened the door I thought it started to rain because they have an AC on top that leaks. I realized when I looked up and it was just the AC that was dripping. Look up before you enter to make sure it doesn't leak on you. The shop is very small and they have about 4 or 5 chairs to cut hair. There was 3 barbers working. There is no parking lot. There is just meter parking in the street. There was two men getting a hair cut and there was a barber that was sitting on a chair watching T.V. My husband asked him if he can do a design that he had seen. As soon as my husband said design he straight out said sorry we don't do designs. All my husband wanted was a line through the back. He told him it wasn't really a design just a thin line. The barber told him $20 if you want the line and $15 if you want a normal hair cut. I felt like he didn't really want to attend my husband so I told him we would keep looking. As we were walking out the door another barber that was occupied asked my husband what did he want. He explained himself over again to the other barber. The difference was that this barber was more attentive. He told him that he would charge him $15 if it was just a simple line and that he can just show him how he wanted it. He finished with his customer and my husband went on the chair. He made conversation with him and made sure he understood the way he wanted his hair. This barber was friendly and actually cut his hair exactly as he wanted it. When he was done he gave my hubby a mirror to look at himself. Like I said, my husband is picky and he asked if he can cut a little more on the side. He kindly said no problem and did what he wanted. read more

You want to get faded? Check out Jesse's barber. He will hook you up with fresh, clean, and good looking cuts. No need to go home and cut out the unwanted hairs and stems from your presentable scalp. There are two locations next to each other but both are managed by the same Jesse. Awesomeness. Bathroom is there for customers if you need to wait in line and they got TV showing local channels. The staff is very friendly and talkative. Parking is horrible. Main Street stuff with Metro busses passing thru (ewww). A few restaurants nearby, a couple of markets, and Baskin Robbins ice cream shop a block away.. nice. Jesse's barbers will get you faded and feeling good. Edit. Not a smoke shop. A fade is a haircut. Jeesh.. it's legal now. :D read more

Cut and beard trim. Cheaper than the rest on that block thank you for working with my budget.

Some of the barbers are very good but sadly Jesse the owner should really consider retiring. He definitely doesn't know what the concept of a fade is. He left me so tore up that when I walked out of there after a 1 hour and 20 minute haircut, I could feel the stares of other people starting at my cut. I already knew it was messed up from the whole process and just by his technique even an amateur could tell he has no clue what he was doing. I got home and damn was my wife dissapointed. Jesse is a great man but he should be honest with his customers. If you don't know how to do a certain cut just refer them to another barber in that shop. I asked for a mid fade and he went so high up and left big noticeable patches everywhere with some bald spots as well. When I got home I tried to fix it myself but there was just nothing to work with unless I decide to cut the whole thing bald.. read more

Let me tell you how I got here. I had an appointment at a different place Armando on first Street. He got really rude and a A hole over the phone. So I canceled my appointment and I drove around and I found Jessie on Cesar Chavez fun fact they filmed blood in blood out i their barber sh read more

If you want to go to this barber, do not go to JESSE the worst barber ever. he messed up my fade like he didn't blend it very much. I was so embarrassed to go out on the streets looking like shit. He need to be retired!!! read more

Jeese rushes to cut my hair cause he was short staffed and his lunch was in. Lack of attention to detail. The shop is unkept and filthy including the equipment which was never cleaned. Please do not support this place. See pics. Horrible experience, don't pay somebody to this to you. read more

Stopped by last week, loved the hair cut and hours. She was great and detailed. Will be coming back again. Friendly and flexible. It can get a little busy, which is good since you know they're good! read more

So this place is one of those Boyle Heights landmarks. I think it's been around for over 30 years. It's family owned, intimate, everyone knows each other, friendly. You get that feeling that you just walked into a family members house when you walk in. A plus is that there's tacos, mariscos and people selling fruit all in that same block. The way I stumbled upon this place was due to a emergency. I know it says barbershop but they'll also cut woman's hair. I needed a trim bad and I didn't want to pay $40 for just a cut. I lived in the area and found them on yelp. I called and asked if they cut woman's hair and they told me they did. I was shocked when they gave me the price, only $10!! Ive been coming ever since when I need a trim. I always go to Sharay, she has that good hand haha. My hair grows so much afterwards when she cuts it. They only take cash so just make sure to have that on hand before you come in. Hope this helps my fellow yelpers! read more

I needed a spot that opened early first thing I get told as I walk in is I'm going to lunch so I'm like perfect awesome! I'm out!!!!

Early bird spot Im a little late on this review but here it goes.... Got a late call, only to find out that I had an interview the following morning. I went in not knowing what to expect and nervous bc everyone has a bad day from time to time (barbers too) so there's a chance I could leave with less hair or a bald spot. I was really impressed with my haircut. I think his name is Peter. If it isn't, my bad. Idk how I started a conversation with the barbers (cheech), again, if that's not their names, I'm sorry. Idk where I got those names from but i had a good experience there. A conversation w the barbers AND customers had me feelin like it was the real life barber shop movie. I recommend this place for sure Anyway, it was nice to go in a new place and have a convo w ppl you might not see again and know that you can always go there if you need a early cut read more

Do not waste your time. Walked in and every chair is empty and there's a guy eating. Doesn't acknowledge me and just keeps eating and I ask if this was a good time for a haircut. He rudely points to his food and says I'm eating. I walked out. read more

This place has a second location just to the side of it, named Jesse's hair styling that Jesse's wife runs. I personally think that Jesse's wife needs to stay home, this lady is really rude and has very bad customer service. Had a bad experience last time I was there and honestly will not return. The lady's that work there are very nice and have no problems with, Jesse's wife is the one that need's to be FIRED!!!!! read more

This place is known as Jesses. The best barbershop in the universe. At least good enough to be featured in the opening credits for the movie Blood in Blood out. This guy even cuts hair on Thanksgiving. I grow out my hair about a month in advance to get my moneys worth. It's a holiday tradition of mine to come here on the holidays before I visit my family for the holidays. read more

If you're looking for an O.G. place to get your hair cut, this place is for you. I think I paid about $6 for a no-nonsense haircut. My favorite part was where I was asked how I style my hair (paraphrasing). I responded, I usually add some product and kind of mess it up a bit. Homeboy's response was right on the money. Uncomfortably shrugging he responded, "You're gonna have to do that messing around shit yourself." LOL. Classic. I'd definitely come back. The job was quick, and I looked sharper than a zoot-suiter at 1950's Garfield High School prom. read more

I love this location for my sons haircut. I've been to different locations but I always seem to come back to this place. Ricky is so sweet with my son. He is very patient with him, i like the fact this place seems very family oriented. read more

Jesse's is the best barbershop on Cesar and its an EastSide classic feature in Bond By Honor: Blood In, Blood Out. Walk by and you can tell Jesse what's up on your way to wherever. Cheech is my barber he opens up at 5:30am for all the night owls and early birds. At the end of every cut Cheech holds a mirror in front of your face and says "is that you homes?" I love it! read more

BEST BARBER shop in East LA! My husband gets his haircut with Sharay all the time. They charge $10 for a cut, pretty cheap if you ask me! I was a bit confused with some of the negative comments people left. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The owner Jesse and his wife are very nice people. I would recommend this family owned establishment. Overall great place for a cut! read more

WARNING!!!!! This is the worst barbershop. I've gotten a fade and the clippers were so hot that I had to tell Jesse the clippers were way to hot and irritated my skin and burn my skin. I asked for a line up and Jesse gave me a huge push back I was embarrassed. I asked Jesse just a fade nothing from the top and he cut 1inch off the top. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

WARNING!!!!!!!! WARNING!!!!!! WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! This spot is the WORST "Barbershop" you could ever go to!!!!!! Better off spending your time and your money somewhere else ... The workers here are very unprofessional , very rude and don't even know the basics of cutting hair . Went here for my first time today Asked for a simple Taper and I came out with a Mohawk !think the guys name was Peter , guy looks like he knows how to cut hair but even a blind person could do a better job.. I Really wouldn't recommend this spot to anyone. There is a couple Barbershops down the street im sure they could do better read more

Jesse was so nice. Had a long line the week my son was graduating. Came there for the first time. Everyone was friendly and I love supporting local businesses. Coming back!! read more

The owner should just retire already. All skills he acquired in his early years of barbering are gone. Left several cuts on the rear side of my head. Gave me a sloppy fade. It's pretty evident that he doesn't take pride in his work anymore. Thanks for nothing read more

This guy was completely rude. Barely paid attention when I walked in. I was the only customer he walked right past me as if I wasn't even in the store. After he finally gave me a hair cut , my head itched for almost 3 weeks. The place was not clean. I don't suggest going to this place unless you want to catch something.... read more

Terrible place. It says it opens at 6 am and I took my son at around 8 am and it was closed. I waited for a while when, who I though was the owner, showed up. When I asked him to give my two year old a hair cut he was rude when asking me if he will sit by himself. He hasn't had many haircuts so he is not used to. The man was rude and says he couldn't do it. Very rude on my opinion. read more
