I've actually never enjoyed barber shops if I'm honest and think back over the years. No matter if…read morethe decor is nostalgic, and the barber has cool tats and looks good - I still eventually want to leave the chair ASAP. Which is the only good thing about having thinner hair --cuts are quick. Last week I walked into Blind Barber and they improved my whole viewpoint, not just my hairstyle. It wasn't the decor, easy app-based tab, or even the speakeasy bar in back (yes, it's true - a drink is included). It was the barber. And not the skills exactly, but how comfortable they made me. It felt like us against the hair. Like, okay, what are we going for here with this haircut? Not the usual "what buzzer number are you, thank you, next." That made all the difference to me. I'll go back, I'll order quality products, I'll start a barber + beer tab. Finally, a haircut appointment I look forward to. You should go!

We weren't sure if we would even be able to get the haircut done because he's so young and a pretty squirmy kid, but figured we would at least try. Luis was very patient and kind with my son, and we were actually able to finish the whole haircut! I was impressed with his professionalism and speediness. I would definitely trust that my kid is in good hands when he comes here. Thank you!!

I came here yesterday for a haircut with Dima. I arrived a few minutes early and he was ready on…read morethe dot; we had a brief discussion about what I wanted and ended up with exactly that. I'm not a hairstylist so I don't really know how to properly evaluate their technique and craft other than by how much I like the result, but Dima was very meticulous and focused with both the scissors on the top and the clippers on the sides. I also got some explanations on the different ways of how to get a fade, which was a first for me and gave me confidence that we're both on the same page. The front desk staff was nice and offered me a drink from their menu. There's only (mostly metered) street parking available, but I didn't have a hard time finding a spot on a Wednesday morning, however, I could see this potentially being an issue during busier times. Overall, great experience and I'm planning on getting my hair cut again by Dima.

Luis is hands down my go-to barber in Los Angeles. I don't say that lightly -- finding someone who…read moreconsistently delivers clean fades and sharp tapers in this city is no small thing, and he does it every single time. His attention to detail is next-level, and I always walk out feeling confident, polished, and genuinely fresh. What really sets Luis apart, though, is how he treats people. He's patient, kind, and incredibly easy to talk to. He actually listens -- not just to what you ask for, but to the small preferences you mention along the way. He'll check in, ask for feedback during the cut, and make adjustments without ego. That level of care makes a huge difference, and it shows in the final result. You can tell he takes pride in his work. Every fade is blended clean, every taper is precise, and nothing feels rushed or sloppy. He pays attention to the details that other barbers overlook, which is why his cuts hold up so well days and weeks later. If you're looking for someone who's skilled, consistent, and genuinely cares about making sure you leave looking your best, Luis is that guy. I trust him completely with my hair, and I wouldn't go anywhere else in LA. (Will add pics later)

A bit much for a small barbershop, but it is what it is. What made my experience hard to accept is thst when I arrived for my appointment, the doors were locked! It was on a Sunday, so I suppose they left after I didn't make it on the dot (their website says they're open Sunday's until 7p by the way), it was 1:10pm when I arrived - just a few moments behind the scheduled start time. It's outrageous to be charged a whole $50 for showing up within the appointment window to a closed shop. It would make sense for repeat offenders, but still just a bit much for what should be a causal experience. Why let $50 stand in the way of a new customer who could pay you 12 times that over the course of a single year?? Right after I went up the street and was a walk in for less than the fee I was charged here.

Inside there was a collection of streetwear for sale influenced by hip hop culture which were also the defining sounds of the playlist heard throughout my visit. I have a fairly simple understanding of hairstyles and proper hair maintenance. The barber Javin asked me questions about my usual hairstyle and went through suggestions regarding trimming technique. Ultimately, I went with low fade with and a touch up on the top. He mentioned my two hair whorls and overall head shape provided some considerations on what he thought would look natural, which I appreciated. In the end, the fade was perfect. Afterwards I went in for quick shampoo and conditioner which targeted my dandruff. While the location is somewhat out of the way for me, I can definitely rely on their dedication and handiwork.
