Lincoln Barbers is a cheap and reliable spot to get a walk-in haircut. If you call in advance, you can learn the wait time and show up when the wait isn't long (I was able to sneak in without waiting at all). I went in on a weekday (early evening), and there were about five barbers cutting hair. The atmosphere was very casual -- no TVs blaring, just the buzz of clippers and conversations between the barbers and clientele. And for $25 (cash only, from what I understand), it's a good haircut that's quick and easy. read more

10/10 I am incredibly satisfied and fortunate to have found Raphael at Lincoln Barbers. I'm relatively new to the area, and as a guy who values a quality fade and cut, I thought it would take a few months to find my new barber. Then I met Raphael and the hunt was over. He knows exactly how to fade Asian hair, we tend to have very straight stubborn hair. Not only that, he's incredibly communicative and booking appointments with him are simple and stress free. Great shop, would highly recommend! read more

I expected a proper barbershop, but unfortunately, as a tourist, I feel like I got scammed. I was charged $25 for a beard trim, and it felt like they took advantage of the fact that I didn't speak the language. In the end, I had to clean myself up because he left hair all over my neck. Hygiene also seemed quite poor: they don't always change the razor blade -- at least I didn't see them do it. They also don't provide a receipt at the end. Overall, the whole experience felt very shady and ambiguous. read more

This is my go-to haircut place in Santa Monica. Ever since living in La I look for a place where I can either walk-in, or get an appointment with short notice. Haircuts are cash only, and are $30 + tip for guys. I have come in several times, and all of the barbers are solid. I have had maybe 6 different barbers, and have never walked out with a bad haircut. Definitely check out Lincoln Barbers if you are looking for a fresh cut. read more

10 stars all around! Amazing haircut and even better service. I came in for a haircut 2 months ago...yes, that long. I forgot my AirPods. I went on a month trip to Europe but one of the employees told me they would hold onto them. I come back and go straight into work and life mode and wasn't able to make the time to drive over from where I live (Los Feliz). Finally, I make the drive over and picked them up! After 2 months they still had them. Safe and functional. Will always come here when I'm in the area. read more

The dude was nice who cut my hair but he didn't listen to anything I had to say and just cut it. I asked him to keep the length of my beard but clean it up around the neck and face, he trimmed my beard down to a 1. I asked him to part my hair on the top, he just cut it straight. Honestly he seemed to be in a hurry to get to his next customer. I even showed him a picture of what I wanted, he said that looks good, then gave me nothing like the picture I showed. The hair cut was awful but the dude was nice, I don't remember his name. Sucks that the service was good and so is the price but the quality of haircuts I get their are always below par. read more

Every two weeks I get a fresh haircut i always get compliments, and have recommended this place to co workers who became regulars. All very good barbers, but if you have a date or a special event coming up ask for "Chino" (Rafael). You're welcome! read more

A nice old fashioned barber shop. I walked in and was killling time for my sons class. Got a nice cut and got lined up.

These guys rock. Traditional barbershop that's really versed in modern style street cred. All my boys get their hair cut here, and I've never had an issue. There are about 10 barber chairs here, and all are served on a first-come basis. I like that the place is spacious and no frills, so there's no sense of claustrophobia. Absolutely can't complain about the value for money. Haircuts are $25, though seniors get them for $17, and children 12 and under get them for $20. They also do hot shaved and goatees. You won't find a better value with style ability anywhere else in the neighborhood. The only issue is parking on busy days. I usually come around 530pm, when people are headed home, and before the dinner crowd comes out, so have always been luck to find spots. read more

Moved to Santa Monica 1.5 years ago and happened upon this place via the interwebs. Awesome barbershop vibe!! Dude took his time and knocked it out!! Will definitely be going back. read more

Victor was super sweet, did a awesome buzz touch up on my sides and even ran to get me water from the shop next door when I said I was thirsty! What a sweetheart! Ya, there was a bit of a language barrier since he speaks Spanish & well, even though I took 4 years of it in school, I will always suck at languages (even English) haha We worked it out tho & I walked away w a fresh shave & a new local barber yeeee Pro: Victor is rad! Great prices. Great cut. Con: Don't expect a fancy shop or a hair wash. They don't wash hair rn due to covid so I had him spray me w water like a dog... or should I say like a cat hehe read more

THERE NEEDS TO BE A 0 STAR OPTION!!!! I went in wits a large curly hairdue asking for a light trim. the guy spoke no English and after showing him various photos and videos he says "so like a messy bowl cut?" I told him NO it's not a bowl cut and too just keep everything and just make it short and even. he proceeds to give me the most Hispanic size bowl cut that looks nothing like the photos. I told him I did not want to pay $40 ( originally 30) for a haircut I didn't ask for and every employee began gaslighting me into believing it was the same as the photo. read more

Good place if you need to swing by for a cut and don't have an appointment. Seemed like there was some talent in there. My stylist however was not. It just wasn't a great cut. Not terrible but definitely not good. I'd go again but I'll try a different barber. read more

Lincoln Barbers - Haircut - Barbers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

First cut here in Santa Monica after moving in from the Midwest. Ruben was good! Affordable too.

They're very friendly and chill but as a guy who knows who to legit cut his own hair I was annoyed that the barber that cut my hair didnt know what a 5 was and ended up cutting my top wayyy too short. Although, the barber did do a good fade though. Bear in mind, I'm very critical in general, and I'm only writing this to add a perspective and not my intention to be negative . However, would be open to do a do over for the benefit of the doubt on the credibility of hair cutting here. read more

I've been coming here for years, and I never had a bad experience until today. Dennis was my go-to guy for haircuts, and sadly he passed away. But I've continued being a customer at this location. I walked in today, and David Reyes cut my hair. I never met him before. I didn't think anything of it since the barbers here usually do a good job. David was horrible. I went home after getting my hair cut and noticed the back of my neck was burning. I looked in the mirror and saw a lot of cuts and scars all around my neck! I've never experienced such unprofessionalism at a barbershop! This man scarred my neck, and I can't believe he works here, especially during this time of COVID 19; who knows what infections I may have received from these cuts. This is seriously below the standard of care and basic health standards. I will be reporting this incident because no one should have to experience this level of negligence and carelessness. Even the haircut was terrible; the hair on my sides is uneven. I do hope the manager reads this. Please be warned, do not let David cut your hair. I don't know how long he's been there, but he should no longer be working there. For an establishment in Santa Monica, I expected much better care for customers. This was seriously a disappointing experience. read more

I'm new to sporting a beard. David Reyes is incredibly talented and patient. David recommended the sleek cut & the exact look that has everyone I know complimenting about how it's perfect for my face. David informed me about everything he was doing to create his recommendation. This is now my new look from now on. Amazing Job David! read more
