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!

I was recommended by a two coworkers who had amazing hair and they recommended me GIANNA! She's know length, how to texture, how to communicate with you about what hairstyles you want. She also talks a lot which is nice! It felt like home when i first sat on the chair till i left the building! They help you book that same DAY! I have a nasty cowlick but Gianna was able to cut my hair how i described it and also showed photos of the haircut I wanted and SHE NAILED IT ! Will definitely be my new hairstylist moving forward!

Gianni is the reason I keep coming back to AANUKO. A year and a half in and I'm not going anywhere…read more I have thick wavy hair and more cowlicks than one head should be allowed. I'd been getting the same high fade for a decade and wanted to try the longer wave thing everyone's doing. The first barber I asked for it butchered it, mostly because he'd never done a long cut in his life. Gianni took one look, diagnosed what was actually going on up there, and got me to a halfway cut. A couple months later, the cut grew in as he planned and he took me from 80 to 100%, right in time for my vow renewal. His profile calls him the brushback king and I couldn't agree more. Fair warning: he's meticulous, so plan on real time in the chair. You get what you pay for! Also book ahead. At least a month, in my experience. Gianni's popular and I've never once seen anyone get off the waitlist. The shop itself is worth the trip on its own. Great furniture, plants everywhere, and a back patio you can sit on if you're early or just want to hang. Vibes and the place is always clean. Their systems are top notch too. Plenty of notice before your appointment, everything organized, they offer you a drink when you sit down, and they use good products from the wash through the styling. The host is always so nice, everyone there is personable, and the music's great. One heads up: no parking lot. Street parking can be iffy if you catch a bad day, but there's usually at least one spot within a block. Go see Gianni!

I was really…read moreworried I wouldn't be able to find someone who knew what they were doing out here, but Luis exceeded all of my expectations. His care and attention to detail is better than any barber I've ever had, and I always look forward to cuts with him. Highly recommended. You'll never need anyone else.

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)

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.

Service: 9.5/10 - I had Kevin himself, and he was great to talk to, and phenomenal at cutting; I usually let my barber do whatever they feel is best for my looks, and kevin knew exactly what to pull off. The fade was clean and the trim on top was the perfect amount, and he did it super quick, under 30 minutes. - Would recommend here and would recommend a reservation.
