    This is the reason I asked for cut to bottom of my ear. I know it flips up when it is mid ear.  The other side will do it when it get there.

    I got my hair cut by Cris a while back and he did a good job. He cut it to the bottom of my ears as I requested. He was not very friendly, but I wasn't there to make friends. A couple days ago it was time for another haircut so I went back to Cris (his spelling). Asked him to cut to the bottom of my ears again, same as last time. This time he cut the right side to the top of my ear and the left side to the middle of my ear! I didn't notice at first, I saw how short it was, mentioned that was MUCH shorter than I asked for, paid and left. When I got home I noticed the lengths on each side were different. I took time off work to get it fixed. While in the chair I started explaining why I like it to the bottom of my ears, just to make conversation, he took the robe off me and opened the register and handed me what I paid and most of the large tip I had given him and told me to leave. So I guess the bright spot is it only cost me a few $$ and time off work to have my hair screwed up! I have NEVER been treated so poorly by anyone cutting my hair in my 67 years on this planet! I will tell everyone I talk with to stay away from this place at all cost!!

    Moving down to L.a I was nervous about finding a new barber to cut my hair. I found Chris by chance, and have been seeing him regularly for a little over six months now. He is the best barber. He is so skilled and gives a very detailed cut. I have had numerous hairstyles from normal buzz cuts to fades and mohawks. Let's just say I'm kind of a perfectionist and he nails it every time. I always leave very happy and I am scared for anyone else to touch my hair.. he is that good. Chris is super down the earth and I always enjoy our conversations. The price for a cut is an incredible deal. Thank you Chris! P.S Please don't expect to just walk in and get service. Chris will be able to accommodate you if you pick up the phone and make an appointment!! If he has an opening you may be able to be seen that day or definitely the next.

    Been coming to Chris since he first took over the shop 6 years ago or so... Hands down best barber and barber shop on the Westside/Southbay. If you want a real deal professional barber experience come here. You'll realize there's no comparison. Best part is this is a traditional barber, not some gimmicky hipster "barbershop.."

    Santa needed a great haircut and beard trim to keep Mrs. Claus happy after a very busy Christmas holiday season when Santa doesn't have time to keep looking neat and trimmed. Santa's regular barber elf transferred to the North Pole Toy Workshop so Santa went searching for a new elf who could keep him looking great for all the kids around the world. He found his solution in Barber Elf Cris at "Santa's" Village Barbershop. Cris has earned his way onto Santa's NICE list after the fine job he did on Santa's hair and beard. Compare photos and you'll discover that you'll be in excellent hands with Elf Cris. If he can take care of Santa, he can make you look like a million bucks!!

    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.

    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.

    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

    Jonathan as always sets the tone for the day. First client of the day my son was ready to get…read moreright. Of course I had a drink while I wait. Their service is always top tier. My son feels pampered here and that keeps us coming back. Thank you Off Code for being the best shop in LA !
