I used to come here regularly. A couple/few times my barber canceled very last minute, which was a major inconvenience, but things happen. THEN, I contracted COVID and was unable to make my appointment. Despite canceling on me for whatever reason, and despite being a regular, they charged me! I'm not arguing that businesses shouldn't have policies to prevent losing money and protect an artist's time and income, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't complain, I didn't make an issue, but what I DID do was never go back AND pull my daughter from the other salon they own. Bad business practices and treating not respecting regular clients' time has consequences... Avoid being treated like a number, plenty of better places right down the street. This business won't last. read more

This was my go too hair salon, that is until my last visit. The hairdresser was rock solid good and I really like the haircut. I tipped her well however the guy behind the counter was rude, snarky, and impatient. I had politely asked if they had change for a $10. bill and his response was " I'm not your Fuking bank!" He then proceeded to show me a drawer full of cash with lots of $5. 's and single bills. Total A'hole? You decide. I'm not going back. read more

My husband got in right away and they were quick with his hair cut. Prices were reasonable and he looks great!

We stumbled upon Southpaw as we were looking for someone to cut our hair since our regular stylist was getting out of the business. We had seen it as we drove past but never gave it the time of day until now. I read through the bios, settled on Roxanne, and booked my appointment. Wow!! What a treat! The place is small but well laid out. I was greeted warmly upon arrival and quickly introduced to Roxanne as I was her first client of the day. She proceeded to analyze my hair, asking what I wanted and clarifying everything before proceeding. She did a preliminary cut and then proceeded to give me a scalp and neck massage using a lovely scented oil. She then took me to the hair washing area, washed my hair, and placed a steamy towel over my face while providing another neck massage. Ahhhhh.....that out me in my happy place! Once I was back at her station, she completed the cut, dried my hair, and styled it using their Aveda products. I was very pleased with my cut and have returned twice since that initial visit. They are not cheap but I feel they are worth it based on the complete service they provide. read more

Ashleigh did a great job. I was pleased with the quality of the service. The interior of the building is pleasant read more

Two weeks have passed since getting my first haircut at this establishment, and I absolutely LOVE MY HAIR! I've lived in the neighborhood for decades, and finally booked an appointment here. Great atmosphere/ambiance, was even greeted kindly. Lynnae was AMAZING! The attention to detail and quality time she spent on my long hair was extremely professional. I will definitely be coming back to see her for my future haircut appointments. Guys/Dudes, please treat yourself, & give Southpaw a try! read more

Ashleigh is great, very proactive, keeps notes about every visit, so she knows exactly what you are looking for!

Ashleigh was great! Everyone there is very professional and nice. Have been going there for a decade now. Highly recommend.

My most recent cut from Francesca was perfect. She didn't know, but I decided to trust Southpaw's talent and have the first available stylist prepare my hair for my wedding day 3 days later. The chosen stylist happened to be Francesca, who had never cut my hair before, but she hit the mark after a few words. I had another cut at Southpaw 1 month prior, so my hair wasn't too much longer and I just needed a clean up. I think I honed into my preferred style and Francesca was able to execute. I was surprised at how nice my sides turned out (I only asked for a number 3 on the sides but I think she tapered or styled it) and the length of my hair on top was just how I like it -- long enough to bias towards one side and leave some texture once styled. She even worked out my request to leave some extra on my top left to fall over into my forehead. After all that she recommended a product that worked well for my wavy hair. Overall I wanted a simple cleanup and Southpaw delivered. Francesca worked her magic and maybe we got lucky and landed on a great haircut (to be fair it's a pretty generic hair style). Regardless, I was happy with everything and everyone at the shop. read more

Brought my 10 year old in for his first haircut ever. He's never had a "real" haircut and wanted something dramatically different. He was super nervous but stylist Esther put him at ease and helped us talk out a potential style that could work for him. She did a phenomenal job with the cut and he felt comfortable the whole time. He walked out feeling pretty good about himself. Would def go back again! read more

Ashleigh is the best! A super-talent, and a great personality to match. Highly recommended

In admonishing another patron for not adhering to their late/no-show policy the owner once responded on google, "99.999% of our salon guests are on time because that is the understood baseline of respect and integrity. It is an equally upheld baseline: for us as service providers to run on time and you as guests to simply arrive on time." However, when they closed their business on 8/21/23, they did not contact me in anyway to let me know that they would not open or honor appointments. Nothing on the website. Nothing on Instagram. No email, text, or call. My time was wasted as I drove to the Silver Lake, parked, waited, and tried to call/message to find out what was going on. It's only some time lost and there are obviously other places to get a haircut, but I find the double-standard ridiculous and worth sharing with others who have been frustrated by this establishment or those looking for a new shop. Owner, please put away the sanctimonious "respect and integrity" speech. p.s. Nothing against the employees/stylists/barbers who are just doing their jobs. read more

Francesca was awesome and took great care of me! I've been losing my hair on top and she knew exactly how to shape everything so I look my best. Feeling very confident with this new do and I'll definitely be going back for my next one! Also, I absolutely love the vibe here. Very relaxed and comfortable! read more

I live in the Neighborhood, always pass this place and have been meaning to check it out. I'm happy I popped in. I went looking for a new place to get my hair cut and made an appointment with Ashleigh. Highly recommend her and the spot. Ashleigh was professional, personable, fun, engaging, courteous, warm, and inviting. The place was relaxed, laid back, and unassuming. The host was great as well! I recommend checking them out. A touch on the higher end in terms of price but it's worth it! read more

I'm someone who avoids going to get my hair cut until someone kindly says to me, "uh, you gonna cut that hair?" Maybe it's the fear of small talk or the fear of leaving with a terrible cut. Or a mixture of both. I don't know. I have issues. Either way, you won't have to worry with Micaela! Super easy to talk to and she's great at cutting hair. Everyone in the place was really friendly. It was a good experience all around. Highly recommend! read more

Makayla always knocks it out of the park. They don't really offer kids cut prices but they do really well with children and here is the result for my son. read more

Southpaw - New hair, who dis? - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I was the scheduled last appointment for Ashleigh who had a full day's work. She took great care of me and gave an amazing haircut and wash. The lighting and organization of each stylists station was unique. read more

Got all cleaned up for my wedding day at Southpaw, Francesca did an amazing job and took great care of me! Good chill vibe.

I got a haircut from Chris. I was very pleased. Thank you Chris! $55 for a men's cut is on the pricier side, and I've had just as good for less, but wanted to try a new spot. (And because Rudy's had closed). The receptionist though nice was too intense for me. I prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. I found he/she/they to be over the top. (Conversely the receptionists at Rudy's seemed disinterested). It's a small space so the overlapping conversations can be overwhelming, even more so with piercing voices (mine is on the lower register, so I struggle to be heard in crowded places) They also requested a credit card to hold the reservation. In this day and age of CC fraud, I found that to be out of touch, but wanting to play ball with the new place (and because of the intense (for me) receptionist), I went against my instincts and conceded. At the end of the day, I wanted a good haircut and that's what I got. Intense receptionist, credit card thing and price, I can kinda live with that. But it's not enough to immediately win loyalty and become my haircut home (yet). We'll see how the hair grows out. read more

Francesca was great! Personable, fun conversations and I was very very happy with my haircut. Highly recommend her!

This place is a gem! Francesca R. is an incredibly talented stylist who listens closely to your input and desires in order to arrive at the perfect haircut style for you. She's deliberate with the however, she checks in every so often to ensure alignment. The shampoo, head massage, and hot towel make for a very relaxing experience. She's fantastic to chat with to boot. I will comeback for my next cut for sure. I highly recommend! read more

I have been looking for a new hair stylist and a friend of mine recommended Francesca. I was very pleased with the haircut that she gave me and I will definitely go back to her. I highly recommend Francesca! read more

I've been to Southpaw many times over the past 2 years or more, I've had the pleasure of getting cuts from now three different stylists, most recently Franchesca. She did a great job, knows her stuff, was easy to talk to about what I wanted and made good conversation during the cut. I would recommend her and Southpaw to anybody. read more

Francesca was amazing. Listening to everything I said and made sure everything was to my liking before proceeding to the next steps. Fun conversation and the hands of an Angel. The time flew by and completely satisfied with her. I got a low fade, skin fade, blended to the top with a little off the top because my hair grows out faster in certain areas because I'm a mutant read more

I'd never been to this establishment before, and booked an appointment for 5:45, asked about parking, knowing the area, and was told they had parking in the back. I arrived 5 minutes early. Their lot was full. I spent 15 minutes hunting for street parking. Finally found a spot. Jogged to the establishment. Walked in 15 minutes and 10 seconds late. Was told I'd missed my appointment, and was charged $60 for my trouble. Sort of feels like Southpaw sucker-punched my credit card. read more

Ashleigh is the best! She really takes into account your hair and the way it responds to cuts and keeps detailed notes and everything, which results in great cuts time after time. She's also a lovely human and great to speak to. Highly recommend. read more

Got a haircut from Francesca and it was lovely! Helped manage the shape of my curls along with some helpful advice and had a pleasant conversation. Southpaw has a very relaxed atmosphere with a friendly neighborhood vibe, highly recommend. read more

Rita is the greatest!!!!! I have curly hair so I'm super particular with who I let cut my hair.. She was recommended by a friend as the best in the area for men's curly hair and she's been fantastic. Best haircuts I've had in a long time and she also has an awesome vibe. read more

I was very comfortable with a first cut. I just came in from out of town and got exactly the cut I wanted. You never know first time with someone new. she knows what she is doing and I am pleased with my hair and enjoyed the appointment. read more

had a cut with ash - she's fantastic, super professional and lovely and I'm stoked with the results. I'd highly recommend.

Ashleigh always does an amazing job, she provides a great experience and is very friendly and welcoming. I always learn new tips on hair treatment and styling techniques and I have nothing but great results with my hair cuts. I would highly recommend Ashleigh for your next hot cut. Thank you South Paw for providing a safe and friendly environment, looking forward to my next visit! read more

I'm so satisfied with my cut every time I walk out of Southpaw. Service is top notch, ambience is great and prices aren't too steep compared to places like Fellow Barber. Francesca will be cutting my hair again, she was amazing and really listened to my critique. Look forward to the next time! read more

They charge about $50 for a men's haircut here. Mine was worth $30 I think. I have mid length hair and told the stylist that I wanted to get it reshaped in a way that would enable me to grow it out in a way that would aie me look decent. However he just cut the dead ends and that was about it. At this price point I'd expect a little more out of a haircut. the place is clean and modern and the staff is polite. Great place to go if you're in Silverlake and don't want to travel far read more

Ashleigh did an amazing job -- I trusted her because I had no idea what I wanted and she gave me a perfect haircut. Super cool to talk too and just a great experience read more

They cancelled my appointment while I was on the phone with them saying I can see the building and waiting for the light to change because her clock was 2 minutes faster than mine. AND CHARGED ME! Almost forgot to add this crucial point. Many many other people have stated the same thing in the reviews on yelp and elsewhere, this place is insane when it comes to being accommodating. Like someone else in the reviews I was literally looking at the building when the person on the phone said they would cancel my appointment because I wasn't there at 11, when it was 10:58 on my phone but her clock said 11. Im not exaggerating when I say I was literally staring at the building waiting for the light to change in my car when my appointment got cancelled because I wasnt on time. Again forgot to note, they charged me full price too. I still went inside at 11:01 and tried to reason with them to no avail because I wasn't there at 11AM they would not take me because their clock showed 11:03 I was leaving out of town the next day too, this didnt matter to them at all. The "manager" claims that she actually shows up at her appointments 30 minutes early to make sure shes on time if theres any traffic or anything. What a liar, nobody in the history of the planet plans to be at their appointment for a salon 30 minutes early. EDIT: As the owner has lied Im not the only person on here who has essentially the same exact review about this place. Just go read the other 1 star reviews. Ive been here before too and one of my best friends knows the owners and their words were "yeah they became assholes the last few years". Like I said, just go look at the 1 star reviews on here, google, elsewehre. On each there is more than 1 person with almost the exact same review as being cancelled and charged on. Who do you think is lying here, multiple consumers? I have two 1 star negative reviews on yelp in 11.5 years and this guy is trying to say that I am lying and that thier customer service doesn't suck. Even half of the 3 and 4 star reviews say "haircut was great, management and customer service and front desk sucked" - their customer service and management is awful. read more
