Vinny’s Barber Shop

Santiago lined me up and made me feel sexy. He spent extra time looking at my cowlicks and hair texture to give me the perfect classic cut.
This place has such a family vibe with all the barbers ragging on each other in a loving way of course. They also know what they’re doing.
Make an appointment. Get fresh.

This Place is gold! Drew hooked me up with a clean cut. 100% satisfied. Highly recommended this place to everyone!

Even us bald guys need our head shaved. It’s very hard to find a barbershop these days that have straight razor blade head shaves and even harder to find a shop that does it well. Vinny’s is the best there is for straight blade shaves! I really feel bad for guys with hair because they are missing out on one of life’s most relaxing activities– the hot towel treatment before and after the shave. I love the hot towel treatment at Vinny’s!!!

This is a great barbershop. Everyone is really professional. Angel is my barber and he always does a great job. The shop always looks clean and the staff is always quick to offer friendly service. The whiskey/​beer is a plus. The topper though: being able to book haircuts online!

The stylist who cut my boyfriend ’ hair did an awful job
Even I can tell his haircut is not symmetrical
He has left gaps in parts of the back
Just horrible
Will never go there again!

Went in was greeted right away. Made a appointment with Angel a few weeks ago. He did a awesome job! The staff was super friendly. Definitely making this my go to barber shop from now on!

I am relatively new to LA and have been struggling to find a solid barbershop that is lowkey and normal. I had been going to Floyd’s on Melrose but they could never really nail it when it came to my haircut.
I tried Vinny’s today and booked a spot with Arya. He was great. I told him what I wanted and he made it happen quickly and my hair turned out exactly as I was hoping. The parking is a rough situation but it’s definitely worth it.

My barber for the past 3 years retired for medical reasons so I was forced to find a new one. This is frustrating for me as I’m very particular about my hair and will be loyal to a barber that can do a great job. I got a recommendation for Vinny’s from a neighbor with nice hair and booked an appointment immediately.
The next available appointment was with Drew, so I took it. Entering, they’re very courteous and ask who you’re sitting with that day. I was offered a water/​beer and sat down. I showed Drew a couple photos and explained how I liked my hair. The cut was perfect, better than I asked for even. No meaningless chit chat, just real conversation, the way a barber shop should be.
The vibe is great and everyone is very no-​bullshit. It’s relaxed and chill but at the same time, they’re all there with a mission to make you look great when you walk out. I tipped $ 10 on a $ 25 cut because I knew right away I’d be establishing a relationship with this barber, and would be back.
I’ll likely never step foot in a Rudy’s or Floyd’s again.
Not only are they over-​priced for what they offer, but very few places have such a solid reputation as Vinny’s, and built in a very short time. If you want a barber shop that feels like home, go to Vinny’s.

Best Barbershop in L. A and maybe California I love it here it’s so good the barbers talk to you and have a nice talk and at end you you looking fly as fuck

Well… the reviews are true. The place is legit. Saw Arya yesterday for a haircut… gave him general direction and let him do his work. He did a great job all throughout holding a good conversation. Frankly, every time I get a haircut I expect some minor miracle to occur… but mother nature gave me soft wavy hair and that’s all I’m getting — I can only watch with envy as some of the guys next to me are getting kick-​ass undercuts. I have to live with what I have and Arya got to work with what I got. Not bad considering what he has to work with ;)
The vibe was also pretty nice. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted and offered a beverage. There’s free wi-​fi to keep you occupied as you wait. I got there around 1pm and the place was packed — 30 minutes later as lunchtime kicked in — I was there alone. Also — for those who give a hoot about stuff like that — there was a relatively well known actor getting his hair cut two chairs from me. I guess they don’t pay salaries in Hollywood like they used to — $ 25 haircut is good enough for them too.

One of the best barber experiences I’ve had. All the guys are accommodating, have interesting stories, and, most importantly, give a great cut based on how you want it. The electric shoulder massage at the end is legit. Place is kept super clean, and they stock a large number of pomades/​gels. Best way to book a time is through their online web app.

Review for Drew!
My son has that half Black, half Asian hair. Beautiful, curly, coarse, strong, defiant — has a mind of it’s own — won’t do what you want — stubborn as hell hair. Lol.
I showed Drew a photo of the desired look and he cut it EXACTLY like the photo. A perfect replica. Impressive. Then throws in a shoulder and scalp massage with massage gloves. $ 15.
I’m a fan!

Angel really is an angel!
The first time my boyfriend visited him, Angel gave him an easy to manage yet very stylish cut. He just throws a little pomade in, gives it a quick comb through and that’s it.
He goes there all the time now and his fades always look perfect and the cuts always compliment his features. Every time he visits Vinny’s he always leaves feeling great. He always looks great too ;) I recommend this barbershop to any guy who’s trying to step up his game!

There’s a reason it’s still got a perfect Unilocal rating, this place is legit. Puttin out fresh cuts from every barber. I’ve only ever had Angel cut my hair and he keeps me looking fly. Cash only, great price. Friendly staff and service, super reliable, and you can schedule online. They book up fast so don’t wait

I’ve been going to this place for at least 4 months now and I’ve been having great haircuts and experiences. Recently, however, my barber, Fausto, seemed to be in some sort of mood. My haircut pretty much turned out less than average too. Cool place where you could get a good haircut most of the time. But, honestly, one screwup and it’s an automatic loss of a customer — that customer being myself. Onto a new barbershop.
Oh, and another thing, they have a sign that says no cell phones or talk of religion/​politics. I don’t know how serious they are about the latter, but either way, it’s a bit goofy, moronic.

I’m always weary about places that have only 5-​star rating with 150 reviews but Vinny’s Shop is legit. Manny has been cutting my man’s hair for the last two years and my man comes home looking FLY every time. Manny listens to what he wants and delivers spot on.
Vinny’s is closed on Sundays and appointments are made online rather than over the phone.

I was searching for a great barbershop in LA for my nephews (8 & 12). I was very disappointment with many places that would reject them due to their age. This place was and are very welcoming and I can’t say enough about their customer service. I found them through a referral from my hairstylist.
My nephews have been coming here for over 2 months and «Arya» is their go to man. He’s very attentive to what customers want and the fact that they are kids he still treats them like young men with such courtesy and even jokes with them by having funny conversations pertaining to school girlfriends. :) I love how he goes out of his way to have a conversations with 8 & 12 year olds. The boys enjoy the massage at the end then again what person doesn’t.
If you’re new to LA & looking for great customer service and talent with their cuts you have it all here. What barbershop do u go to that even offers you beer?! I’ve been offered both beer and coffee even though I don’t cut my hair here for obvious reasons :) but just the simple things like this leaves a lasting impression. They have many talented artists here. Haircut is a talent and they sure are genius craftsmen at their talent! Make the drive! If you think it’s out of your way any talented person and customer service is worth it!
My nephews love it! Be honest with the style/​cut u want and I guarantee u, you will find someone that fits your needs!

I have been going to Vinny’s on Vergil for over year and I think its about time I give a proper review.
Lets start with a some backtracking on my search of the best barbershop. I’ve been through about 3 different barbershops for the past two years, and Vinny’s has been my best experience by far.
The past barbershops I have been to were Top Line on Santa Monica for a few months, which was really cheap for a haircut (around 15 dollars without tip), but the barbers I tried seemed to give me the opposite of what I usually asked. Nice guys but not really what I wanted. Plus their selection of hair products were lacking (they mosty carried gels).
My next barbershop visit was with Capsule barbershop on Melrose. I went when Vince was still the owner, sadly he and his crew no longer stay there and have moved to newer ventures. Anyway they gave superb cuts and even offered to wash your hair in the shop before making you look fresh. Unfortunately they charged a ridiculous amount for their haircuts, averaging from 35 minus tip and above. Yikes, thats almost like prices you’d get at a salon. I loved the cut I got, but I want a cheaper barbershop rate dammit!
My next cuts came from Goldrush Barbershop in Pasadena on Colorado. They offered great cuts for competitive prices, with haircuts for 20 without tip. However, I live Hollywood area and didn’t want to go all the way to Pasadena for a haircut.
After asking for recommendations and looking for barbers around my area, I discovered that a little shop called Vinny’s on Vergil existed in my area. Oh how I wish I found this place sooner.
When I called in the first time over a year ago, I asked for any barber. I was told that their barbers are quite skilled and competent, so I was somewhat at ease but still anxious and hoping that this barbershop will give me the service I’ve been looking for.
I was seated with Arya. Like any first visit to any barbershop, you kind of go through that phase where your first cut from any barber involves the barber observing your hair and asking which shop you’ve been to before. Arya really wants to know what kind of haircut I wanted and he even gave me some pointers on what kinds of pomades are good with my hair type. My first haircut with him was honestly just good since he didn’t give me the sharpest partline for my desired sidepart, but I gave him a pass like any first time visit I get with any barber since they are just learning on how my hair is and what kind of styles I desire. No big deal.
My next visit yielded better results and honestly he gave me one of the best sideparted pomp and taper I’ve ever had. None of the previous barbers I had cuts from come close. I even had many compliments on my hair after the haircut too. Yes, the ladies dig it.
Arya has been my go to barber ever since my first visit and always keeps me looking proper. I haven’t tried any of the other barbers, but they all seem to do stand up work for everyone since most of the customers I see after haircuts leave with a smile. I hear the owner Omar does amazing work too. All of their barbers get fully booked too so that already tells you how good this place is. All of these barbers are professional, and they’ll treat you with the best service. No question.
****Now for some quick tips if you don’t want to read any of the above.****
Heres the TL;DR for you:
–Pick any barber. Practically all of them give awesome haircuts. If you don’t know what haircuts you desire for your hair type and face shape, just simply ask. If you’re still unsure, bring a picture of your desired hairstyle and go from there.
–Book your cuts at least a few days earlier before your appointment date. Spots fill up quick (especially for Omar). You can call the shop but they also offer online booking now. They are CLOSED on SUNDAYS.
–Haircuts are CASH ONLY, $ 25 w/​o tip. Always remember that to avoid any awkward nonpayments. You can however use your credit card to buy hair products from them.
–Parking sucks in this area, so you might have to park a block away or have your significant other drop you off and find parking.
–They have a very large selection of pomades and carry most of the better pomades, and don’t be afraid to ask what kind of product you need for your hair. They’re very knowledgeable. They carry both water and oil-​based pomades.
–Walk-​ins are fine, but preferably you should make an appointment to avoid any frustration.
–Be sure to check in. The porter should spot you once you walk in to check you in and confirm that you have arrived for your appointment. If you are late or do not check in they may cancel your spot and put someone else.
–They serve refreshments while you wait on your appointment if you arrive early. Water or beer is usually what they offer. Go with the beer if you’re not driving and just want to chill. Its a mostly all men zone anyway, just hangout and relax.
–Go in for a haircut, relax, and leave feeling like a million bucks.

I got my haircut here twice and each time I walk out I feel like a million bucks.
Angel is a great barber.
They offer you a drink which is very nice and they finish your haircut with a shoulder massage.
Remember to make an appointment at least a day in advance.

Vinny’s sets a high bar for professionalism. I’ve been several times now, and Manny has done a great job each time.
They give good haircuts here. I went for an edgier look than my usual for my first visit, and I was very pleased. It’s the haircut in my (current) profile picture. I got it short on the sides and then Manny did a short fade into the longer top section. He didn’t miss sections or unevenly cut the sections. All in all, I really liked it. Since that first visit, I’ve resorted to more professional cuts, but I remain pleased with the results.
I had a frustrating mix-​up here once, but I was so impressed by the way they handled it, that I really can’t say anything bad about the place. Basically, I scheduled an appointment for a certain time, came out for a haircut, waited for a half hour, and then was told that I would have to come back in two hours or reschedule for another time. They apologized, but I walked out, angry that I had wasted over an hour driving out and then waiting for nothing.
Then I got a call from the owner about an hour or two later. The owner called on someone else’s phone just so he could call as soon as possible. He left a message personally apologizing. He then offered his cell phone for me to call about them doing a haircut on the house to make up for the mix-​up. I took him up on the offer and I came in two days later to get my haircut.
Again, I was very pleased with the results, and I was very pleased with the professionalism after they had messed up. I will definitely keep coming here.

Bonne ambiance, bon travail, cheap, et petit massage final! Tu sors de ce lieu tout beau tout neuf !
