George Armenta is fantastic - very skilled, friendly, competitive pricing. He's easy to chat with and explain the type of cut/style you are looking to achieve. Always offers to shampoo my hair. I take the subway to his Downtown location-Flower & 4th St. It's an easy walk from the 7th & Fig/Metro Center subway station. Instagram is the_architect_barber_la read more

George is the man. He and his team set up shop at our hotel room at The Beverly Hills Hotel for a wedding last year and got all of the groomsmen, including the groom, looking sharp before the ceremony. Professional and precise - excellent work! read more

Just left from here and was very happy with how my haircut turned out! George was really thorough with asking questions to make sure I got the exact cut I wanted. And he was great at keeping up a conversation! If you need a haircut in the DTLA area, don't hesitate to book your appointment here! read more

It's always nerve-racking when going to a new Barber for the first time but he made me feel comfortable and checked-in with me throughout the appointment. Loved my cut and will be going back soon. read more

George is AMAZING. Super approachable. Super attentive. A cute little hidden studio right next to the famous DTLA library! The Starbucks is NOT open - so don't even try it, but I walk to his studio every time and I'm so thankful it's a cute spot! You truly feel like you're taking yourself away from the noise of your daily grind. Upon arrival, you are immediately taken to your seat and he begins! I have my cut - and I'm sure you do too, but the way he gets it and remembers it every time, is AWESOME! Thanks George! Can't wait for my next cut! read more

george is very professional and friendly. he has been cutting my hair for almost two years now and i have absolutely no complaints. highly recommended read more

I also cut hair. Whenever I come home from a cut, I invariably end up fixing something the other barber missed. At the recommendation of one of my friends, I sought out George at Architect Barber. George gave me the best haircut I've had in years, and he didn't miss a single detail. His was the first and only cut I've received where I didn't need to pull out my scissors or trimmer the second I got home. His barbering skill aside (and that alone is reason to book with him!), he's also extremely personable. My time in his chair was fun, casual, and friendly. My one critique is that he's simply not charging high enough for the quality he provides, because I easily received a $200+ service for a fraction of the cost. That said, I expect I'll be returning to him for many years to come. Thanks for keeping me cute! read more

George is a fantastic barber! I've been going to him for about a year now & I can't imagine going to anyone else. The haircut itself is always great-- he does a good skin fade. I've cycled through a few different styles (undercut, pompadour, spiked, faux hawk, a classic side part) and he delivered on every style. Others barbers I've seen have been unprofessional & rush their appointments. But George puts more thought into the overall experience of sitting in his chair than any other barber I've seen in the area. I love that I always get a hot towel and shoulder massage--so relaxing! Book an appointment with him... he's great! Congrats on the new space George! read more

He's very kind, he make a very great hair cut ever when I'm came here I'm feel very good and he know my hair cut style... thanks.. read more

For the last 2.5 years George has been my barber and never disappoints. It was important for me to find a queer friendly barber that would make me feel welcomed and comfortable while I sit in his chair and George does just that and more. Since my first cut with him, I was in love! George is kind, funny, takes his time, and pays attention to detail. I've had different hairstyles since he's been cutting my hair and he's nailed each every time. He is great at consulting and offering suggestions for how to make your cut look great. I never feel rushed while I'm in his chair and always leave feeling good and looking good. Thanks George! read more

George is an amazing barber that really cares about his craft and about you. He consistently cuts your hair to perfection, the way you want it; or he can also work with you to try something new, like platinum blonde for the summer. If you're on the hunt for an awesome barber in the LA area or from far away, book an appointment with him, it's worth investing in yourself. read more

George is one of the best barbers ever. I discovered him when I came across his work on Instagram. Being a queer man I am always hesitant to shop for a new barber, since many barber shops can be heavy with toxic masculinity, but I was in need as I had just lost my old barber. I was pleasantly surprised when I took the dive. George was immediately warm and welcoming. I could talk about queer issues and queer topics with him without problem. His location is in the heart of DTLA, just across from the public library. Check him out for sure. read more

I have been without a barber since he moved out of state during the pandemic, but I am pleased to have found George. Booking an appointment was easy and he even accommodated a time shift. While the studio is a little challenging to get to, direction were clear and parking was validated. He cut and styled my hair with skill and care. Excellent pricing for the service provided. Typically when I am in the chair with a new barber I am nervous, but we had an easy-going and pleasant conversation. I will absolutely come her the next time I need a cut. read more
