My journey with this barbershop started when I moved from SF back to LB around early 2023. Walked…read morein on a busy Wednesday morning and asked for any availability for a standard haircut walk-in appointment with any barber. First off, everyone greeted me as I walked through the door, every station was clean, vibes were right, and music was great. Moments later, Manny introduced himself, got me setup in his chair, asked what I wanted, and got to work. The professionalism, cancer, and warm demeanor of not only Manny, but everyone in that shop, is part of the reason I keep coming back after a little over 3 years of fierce loyalty. Other reason I keep regularly scheduling cuts with Manny is because he's the genuine article and a savant with clippers. Plus, the guy is easy to talk to. Choose this shop, and I promise you won't be disappointed. 5/5

The online listing states hours from 9 AM to 5 PM. I arrived for a walk-in at 3:23 PM. Upon…read moreentering, the first barber did not acknowledge my greeting; only someone in the back welcomed me. When I asked if walk-ins were accepted, I was told if I could return the following day and was simply turned away with a "sorry." I needed the service that day otherwise, I would have waited and gone to my regular barbershop. I chose this place based on proximity and Yelp ratings, but there was no real flexibility when it came to walk-ins. As a local resident, I decided to try a new shop closer to home. By 3 PM, all three barbers were already booked. While it's great for the business to be fully scheduled suggesting they must provide excellent cuts it was disappointing to be turned away at the time I arrived. Wishing them well in the future.

I arrived on time and Zoe was finishing up another haircut. I asked to use the restroom & she said they didn't have one and that I could go at the pizza place across the street. I remembered from my last visit where care & detail was put into my cut that the next client was waiting around 15 mins & I figured this was just within a grace period window. I go to the pizza place and about 10 mins pass because I needed to order something and Zoe calls me telling me she's been waiting and we are almost 15 minutes into my haircut now and that they run "a tight ship". I was already feeling uncomfortable by the way she spoke to me on the phone but I went anyway because I had a positive first visit. When I arrived they both made me feel rushed and unwelcome. I wanted to know where to put my pizza which I only ordered so I could use the restroom & they told me not on the couch but also not where to put it & finally I gestured to the counter and they seemed ok w that however inconvenienced. Then Zoe tells me let's just get started and I feel rushed into the chair and it was up higher so I couldn't easily sit on it and she said "ok we're already off to a rough start. These are $5,000 dollar chairs" and then proceeds to demonstrate to me how I should sit in the chair. Perhaps the chair is common knowledge but to position yourself as a queer inclusive barber shop and then to speak to me so condescendingly. I was neither accommodated for using the restroom nor for adjusting the seat nor offered common customer facing professionalism. After I began to cry & look visibly uncomfortable she offered an apology and that we should talk about it but i didn't feel comfortable with that after being made to feel so uncomfortable in the space by both of them. I wish she would have reached out afterwards. I had a good first experience and wanted to find a place I could get gender affirming haircuts. So disappointing and discouraging.

I've been to the studio on multiple occasions to get a full weave. The hairstylist, Tanyia, is extremely professional and detailed. And, she is incredibly timely and efficient. She dyed my weave hair and it came out PERFECT. My weave hair was not left damaged at all. Tanyia cut my weave into a bob on a separate visit and it was exquisite. I recommend that if you want quality service to book with Tanyia for any weave style. Secondly, the studio lives up to its name, THE NEXT LEVEL. It is beautiful inside proving by it's cleanliness, decor, and quality customer service by ever hairstylist and barber there. read more

We had a great experience at The Next Level Barber Studio! I called ahead for my 15 year old son, and Ben was awesome enough to take us in right away. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Ben is clearly very knowledgeable and talented at what he does. My son's haircut turned out fantastic and he absolutely loved it, which isn't always easy with a teenager! We will definitely be back to see Ben again soon. Highly recommend this spot! read more
