This is an old fashioned barber shop; and I mean that in a very complimentary way.

Pricing is good for the times - I think I paid $35 for a regular men's haircut. I was in and out quickly, and very satisfied with the experience. I'll definitely be going back.

Nicky hires the best barbers. Which is what you would expect from the best barber in town…read more Manhattan Beach is lucky to have Svelte. I also like that this barbershop feels like a barber shop. Comfy chairs, classy wood layout and the place is always pristine. I don't ever feel like the blades and cutters aren't cleaned and sanitized. These things matter to me! And of course, the best cut in town. My wife is always happy. Thank you Nicky!

Terrible Haircut and Worse Customer Service at Svelte Barbershop & Essential…read more AVOID! I had the worst haircut experience of my life at Svelte Barbershop & Essential in Manhattan Beach, and I am incredibly disappointed with the results and the owner's complete lack of accountability. The owner, Nicky, was my barber, and he totally butchered my haircut. As the pictures clearly show, he cut a literal hole in my hair above my ear, creating a completely uneven and unacceptable result. It's a shocking lack of skill for someone who owns a barbershop. This wasn't a minor mistake; it was a disaster that ruined my look. Zero Effort to Correct the Situation. Following this terrible experience, I sent the owner, Nicky, several emails asking how he planned to correct this situation, as the damage he did will take weeks to grow out. He has ignored every single one of my emails. This is not only terrible business practice but also shows a blatant disrespect for a customer whose hair he ruined. A professional should immediately try to rectify a mistake, but Svelte Barbershop, and Nicky specifically, have chosen to hide instead. If you are looking for a skilled barber and a shop with even basic customer service, do not go to Svelte Barbershop & Essential. The owner, Nicky, is clearly unskilled and unwilling to take responsibility for his terrible work. This was the worst haircut I have ever received, coupled with the worst customer service. Save your money and your hair, go somewhere else! I've attached photos from the horrible cut about a week or so after being butchered and now a new haircut at a different barber, where he attempted to even it out. You can still see the chunk that was taken out but at least the haircut actually flows now and is not a total dumpster fire.

I've been to this place plenty of times when I was younger, use to get my haircut by the YOUNGER…read moreguys strictly!!! Went this morning to get a line up (told the guy I just needed my neck shaved). He then demanded it would cost the price of a whole haircut. Which is outrageous for a 30 second task I normally pay $5-20 for. Avoid the old balding guy!! Might be a sign he can't take care of hair in the first place!! Guy looks like a mess!

Just got the worst haircut of my life here, it was basically a buzzcut. I told the barber I wanted…read morethe sides and back to be .5 inches in length, and to take 1 inch off the top. To him, this meant the top needs to be 1 inch. After I saw my long hair drop onto my lap, I immediately told him to stop and I wanted to confirm with him exactly what I wanted. I spent the next 5 minutes trying to explain to him that 1 inch off the top didn't mean I wanted it to be 1 inch, but for it to be whatever my current length is minus 1 inch. He insisted that I wanted it to be 1 inch. I gave up and let him finish the cut, and I obviously didn't tip him. I don't think he noticed since he apparently can't add or subtract. I'm going to an event that I've been waiting a year for and was hoping to look good for it, but words can't describe how bad this haircut makes me look. I'm never coming back here again, and I urge anyone who is reading this to just go somewhere else. Anywhere else, it really doesn't matter, it honestly can't get worse than this.

GUAPO CHOPS - I've been cutting at Off Code for a while…read morenow, and I can honestly say it's one of the best shops I've ever been a part of. From day one, I felt welcomed by a team that's talented, supportive, and genuinely wants to see everyone succeed. The atmosphere is professional but laid-back, making it a place where both barbers and clients enjoy spending their time. What really sets Off Code apart is the culture. Everyone pushes each other to improve, share techniques, and grow without any ego. The shop stays busy, the clientele is loyal, and management truly invests in the barbers. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the industry for years, you're given the opportunity to build your craft and your business. If you're a barber looking for a place that feels like a team instead of just another job, Off Code is where you want to be. It's a shop that values quality, consistency, and creating an environment where everyone wins. I'm proud to be part of it and look forward to coming to work every day. GUAPOCHOPS
