Just had a haircut and facial with Ryan at the Tonsorial Parlor. I am 76 years old and I have never had a haircut as good as that anywhere. I've never had a facial in my entire life and it was fantastic. If you want a great haircut and a very relaxing facial, Ryan is the guy to see. Amazing ! read more

I have to retract a previous altogether negative review because, upon learning of my situation, the proprietor, Dale, did everything to make it absolutely right! no contest! also, dude offers a mean haircut. would absolutely recommend! read more

I was curious about this place for a while and finally wandered in. They don't really take walk-ins and I was recommended a stylist named Lisa. I set up an appointment with her directly. The place is set in old west style, and the stylists that I saw on the day of my appointment were very friendly and accommodating. Lisa was very personable and gave me an excellent cut at a very good price. I definitely will be back for regular trims read more

Shout-out to John, thanks for the amazing cut! Big talent, great experience, definitely coming back! read more

Maegan is fabulous! My previous hair person left town during Covid so I was on the lookout for someone new. Hit the jackpot with Maegan. She had great ideas to deal with my grays (sparkles, as she calls them, which sounds much better!) and keep me the right color blonde. Couldn't be happier with my color! Meagan has a plan and I like it!! Highly recommend. read more

I have been going there for over 20 years, Kathy is an amazing person. Everybody that works there is so nice and welcoming.

Dale is the best! I drive by this place all the time and decided to give it a shot. The haircut was exactly what I wanted and Dale was just a really friendly and interesting person. I'm excited to have found my new guy! read more

Maegan is amazing! She's an expert with color and knew exactly how to deal with my coarse and frizzy hair. She recommended the Lasio Keratin Smoothing Treatment and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER ! I travel for work and I'm in different climates all the time . My hair stays perfect.... It doesn't matter if it's humid or dry . And, she's super sweet ! read more

Kathy is the BEST!! She transformed my old outdated hair into a fresh, soft complimentary look. I am so happy and feel 10 years younger! Thank you for making me feel pampered and fresh!! Highly recommend Kathy!! read more

Maegan is The Best! I just got an amazing haircut and we had so much fun talking! I highly recommend Maegan. She listens and gives you exactly what you want!!! read more

Haircuts have always been nothing short of great! It took me 30+ years to find a consistently great haircut and Dale does just this. He moved his El Porto location to El Segundo a few years back and found even more talented hair cutters to add to his team. Even if you don't need a haircut, just stop by to enjoy the old western interior design that makes me smile every time and great conversation. Highly recommend! read more

I've been getting my haircut by Dale since I moved to Manhattan Beach back in 2000. Although I miss the convenience of walking to the original Tonsorial the new location is great and there is plenty of parking. The Tonsorial has a unique old Western charm that instantly puts everyone in a relaxed mood. If you're looking to escape the typical pretentious hair salon attitude the Tonsorial is the perfect answer. Check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed. read more

The old place was cool...but the new location is awesome! Way to go Dale! More space, smooth old western parlor style, a touch of Tombstone with a beach breeze. This is a solid place with great value for a guys haircut. read more

DALE is the man, friendly, skilled, a great conversationalist and a very interesting guy with cool eclectic taste. The cowboy theme of the place is wonderful and have been nothing but pleased with every cut I've received. New store is in a great area of El Segundo with lots to do if you're early or want to catch lunch afterwards and much easier to get to and park than the MB location which is a huge plus unless you're a fan of parking tickets. Will be my Barber as long as I'm in LA no question. read more

This is the coolest hair salon in the South Bay. It has moved from its old location in Manhattan beach thankfully to the laid back historic section of beautiful downtown El Segundo. The owner Dale has turned a once defunct old brick bldg. into a western themed "Tonsorial Parlor" it's worth checking out even if you don't get a haircut. The staff is professional and friendly. Dales been cutting my hair twenty years and is awesome and a good banjo player as well. Stop in check it out you'll want to get a cut. One last bit of history the movie "Blow" with Johnny Depp was about Dales original salon in Manhattan beach back in the day he also had a part in the movie as well. read more

I found my new hair stylist here. I have to admit I walked in the door because of the decor and stayed because of the price, but the haircut far exceeded my expectations and now it's my regular place. Ask for Meagan King -- she does a thoughtful job and she's a real sweetheart. read more

Honestly, 9/10 times I get my hair cut I have to correct it when I get home. But not today! Maegan did a great job and was very friendly. I recommend this fun, quirky spot to anyone and I'll be going back for my next haircut. read more

I've been coming here for over 15 years to see Dale...And I drive in from Pasadena. They moved a few years ago from Manhattan Beach to El Segundo. Less hub-bun and plenty of parking. You should make an appointment for sure. read more

Wow.. I believe an employee or owner left me a negative message cause of the review I left. Talk about harassment and unprofessionalism. Keep it classy! read more

Great vibe. Always a wonderful cut, pleasant conversation and a nice break from the stress of the daily grind. 'Been coming here for years! read more

Awesome place for a haircut. To be honest, only reason I went here was because of the movie "Blow".

When I moved out to the west coast a couple years ago I got my haircut at a couple pretty average places before I discovered Tonsorial Parlor. At the time it was in Manhattan Beach but now it's in El Segundo - much better parking. Anyhow - I love this place. Down to earth people who are nice, give good service and don't overcharge. No LA snobbery, pretentiousness and as a bonus, they play good music! Kathy cuts my hair and is the best but there doesn't seem to be a bad option. Enjoy. read more

Best place in town. Been to many different barbers over the years and finally found one that will become the regular go to for me and my son. Awesome environment. The barbers do a great job, very friendly and make the time fly when you are in the shop. read more

Kathy is great with cuts and color. She is real, honest and her prices are reasonable. Love the down to earth nature of the group of stylists. Can't go wrong with stopping in as a man or a woman. Kathy is also text friendly and offers a beverage while you are there, win win! read more

**This is a revised review.** I was a bit apprehensive about the new El Segundo incarnation of the Tonsorial Parlor, as I have been visiting the Manhattan Beach one since I was... well, for the past 20 years. When I stepped inside Grand Ave. for my thrice-yearly haircut with Linda, I was pleasantly surprised. It has all the charms of Highland while being larger and more inviting. From the high ceilings to the large window in the front, there is a lot more light and space. Dale did a nice job decorating. The only downside is that I have to drive (5 min) now whereas I walked to the other place. As for service, as I previously mentioned, I have trusted Linda with my hair for two decades now. Even though I am sure she gives me a big loyalty discount, I pay in a year what most women pay for a single cut. As I said, I only have my hair cut every four months so the cuts she gives me last. Give Tonsorial Parlor a try. Nice stylists and good prices in a unique setting. read more

Kathy has been doing my hair for near 15 years. She's the Best. They promised for a long time that they were coming to El Segundo. No one is happier than me that the parking is Totally better than MB. Kathy. Dawn both are wonderful at what they do. Never had Dale do my hair. I'm loyal to my Kathy. read more

Not a barbershop, it's a beauty salon. Name is misleading as well as the decorations inside. I'd forgo getting my haircut here again. I dont mind paying for quality, but this place just isnt worth it for a guy. read more

Before this place opened in El Segundo I didn't know what a true barber was- from remembering your preferred hairstyle to actually washing your hair (yeah I sound like a metro right now) this place is simply hands down the best barbershop I've ever visited. Dale is the man to go to if you ever want a REAL haircut and some great conversation. Highly recommended for guys. read more

Long time patron of the Tonsorial parlor and Dale. The new digs on Grand are very nice, and parking is much better then when the shop was on Highland. A great haircut, terrific atmosphere, and now easy parking... Who could ask for anything more? read more

I love this place! Dale does an amazing job every time I come in. He is very skilled and takes his time to get things right. He is also one of the coolest people you will ever meet. I would never go anywhere else to get my hair cut! read more

Kathy has been doing my hair for 4 years now and I cannot recommend her and Tonsorial enough. She has done natural looking balayage highlights and an all over bleach blonde look on me, all of which I have been extremely happy with. In both cases I brought pictures in and she executed the looks perfectly. The salon is quiet & mellow, the other stylists are lovely & warm too. Plenty of free street parking. I also like that I can book via text. read more

Dale is deserving of 6 stars at least! He's been cutting my hair for years and consistently does an amazing job and is just a great guy. He really poured his heart and soul into this new place in El Segundo and it really shows. Awesome new location, same great haircut! read more

Dale has been cutting my hair for a long time and I've always been a happy client. I've lived in different parts of the country a few times and had to use other salons but I've always looked forward reuniting with the Tonsorial Parlor when I moved back. Dale knows how to cut hair well and is a really interesting guy to chat with while you enjoy the old fashioned atmosphere. He hasn't canceled on me once and he's rarely more than 5 minutes behind. He's a solid dude. While I haven't tried any of the other stylists here, I always have fun joking around with them. You really can't go wrong. read more

Place has a good vibe, western parlor serving ice cold MGD is always a nice intro. Dawn is awesome, a no BS woman who can cut a mean hairdo and keep you entertained just about the whole time. Everyone seems to genuinely enjoy what they do and who they work with. Makes for a good time if you have to get a haircut! read more

The time had come to chop of my mop and decided to give ye olde Tonsorial Parlor a try! The place itself has a great classic salon feel with antique looking chairs, ornate fixtures, and bits of nostalgia strewn about. My mane of hair was tamed by the wonderfully blunt and hilarious Dawn, who did a fabulous job, despite me being hardly able to describe the cut I wanted. She was able to use an old picture and worked her magic on my locks. I was very pleased with the cut and will definitely return. If you want a quiet cut with little conversation, then don't visit the parlor, but if you want a great cut paired with some lively banter to spice up your day, you would be quite remiss if you pass up the Tonsorial Parlor. read more

While I'm at it, Just wanted to give a quick shout out to my girl Dawn, who has masterfully been taking care of my blonde color for yeeears! She is super loyal and treats her clients like family. Finding a good colorist, for blondes especially, can be very difficult so I was definitely glad to have been referred to her by a coworker 7 or 8 years ago now. Thank you Dawn for your great energy and amazing skills I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon! Xoxo -olivia c read more

A while back I had lost my Barber/Stylist for men due to changes in his hours which made it very difficult to visit his new shop. My son and I used him for quite some time and was very happy. since then we've been frequenting local Barbers but the quality of the work was quite honestly mediocre at best. We wanted a quality haircut form someone who focused on men's cuts, wasn't the run of the mill barber but wasn't fancy salon. Well based on all the Yelp reviews, I recently tried Dale at the Tonsorial Parlor. He's fantastic! He does great work at a reasonable price and provided friendly interesting conversation to boot. The environment is extremely comfortable--higher end from the local Barber but very down to earth. I walked in and was offered coffee, water, even a beer--it is always 5PM somewhere isn't it? Anyway I'm thrilled to have found Dale. His new shop (he recently moved from Manhattan Beach) is located in downtown El Segundo. Easy parking, quaint, low stress etc. a wonderful experience all around. He tells me it's Yelp policy once a business moves (even if one moves a shop a mile away and sets up the same exact business), they lose all they're old reviews. I encourage you to try his shop and if your satisfied--to take the time to review his shop on Yelp, even if you've reviewed it in the past. He definitely deserves the help! read more

My first hair cut was with Dale 1977! In El Porto. 10th grade highschool. Just walking by so went in to check out his cool salon. Did my hair for years. Over 10 until moved away to see and exp different places. Germany was one! Walking by in 2009 when moved back. Again just walking by. So thrilled to see him In ES. I looked for him when moving back. so delighted to see his new one in ES. He is a great stylist. Great to talk with. Super nice guy. I prob sent over 20 people to him back in El Porto. You must go see Dale. He and his colorists are great. The salons decor very cool. Don't have one bad thing to say about Dale and his salon. It was so great to stumble upon him once again when moved back to ES. Highly recommend Tonsorial Parlor read more

Dale and the ladies are the best in the South Bay! He has been written up in the local trades, always has a positive, fun attitude and is very quick to follow-up when setting appointments, either by phone or text. Solid cuts and the occasional coffee or beer as well! read more
