J Cut Barber

I’ve been going to jcut for a few years now and I can honestly say he cuts my hair better than all the other barbers I’ve been too. He doesn’t take appointments so I try to go on weekdays or be the first person on Saturday. Cool dude, good cut & price.

Came here only 2 times, once last year was completely satisfied but totally forgot about the place. came again today to get a fresh cut and it was perfect.
J really knows how to cut with precision. great price and great cut! #LoyalBarber

Great haircut for the price! My husband came to get a haircut and it was fast, and really good. He will definitely come back soon.

Place feels very welcoming. Lots of couches to wait comfortably on. You’re able to watch TV while waiting and during your haircut which is nice. When I visited this barbershop, I notice there’s only one barber. While it wasn’t busy and I didn’t wait long during the time I went, this might be a problem if you come in during a busy time .
The barber himself was a very nice guy. However, while I was actually getting my hair cut, he was very hard to communicate with. It became a little bit frustrating when he would begin to tell me what he thought would look better and would refuse to listen to my requests. The end result was far from what I was hoping for, but I don’t blame it all on him, since we were having a hard time communicating and reach a common ground for what I wanted and what he thought would look good for me .
What it comes down to is this. If I listened to him, I probably would’ve had a decent, ⁶⁄₁₀ haircut, not exactly what I was looking for, but it would’ve been okay .
Because I didn’t listen to him, and probably tried to do something that he wasn’t used to (1 fade on the sides with a slight combover), I ended up getting a ²⁄₁₀ haircut .
The haircut cost $ 13 mon-​thurs
$ 15 on weekends .
If you want a great haircut, and love getting that awesome feeling after a fresh haircut, this isn’t the place .
If you just need a simple haircut, and don’t care too much, this place could work.

I’ve been coming here since I can’t remember.
When the barber from H.K. (Greenland Market) left back to Korea, Jay has been u go to barber.
Great haircuts at a great price.

This is a good one.
I don’t usually write reviews but today I have to. I have been coming here intermittently and the service has been really funny every time.
Here’s today’s story:
It’s Wednesday morning, there’s nobody waiting inside, so I thought to myself okay cool this time it will be smooth, yeah, no.
I greeted him and he knotted his head acknowledging that I was there. He was with another customer so I sit down and start looking at the magazines thinking it won’t be long. After about 15 minutes I look up and NOBODY is here. Lol, none, zero.
Did he leave for lunch? Did the guy take him to the back like in Pulp Fiction? Did he leave for vacation in Korea? I don’t know.
I was gonna leave but I am curious of what is happening, may be he needs some sort of medical help? I started standing up and look around, inside and outside of the place, nobody.
30 minutes later he came back, with a calmest face I have ever seen, high pitched voice, saying that he went to the bank, to get some change. Lol that’s it. No apology, no smile, not a single fuck was given.
I was mad for 20 minutes because I needed a quick cut but now I can’t stop laughing.
If you’re looking for a cheap cut, and a fuck you mentality of service. This is it, this is the place.

Ive been coming here for about 5 – 6 years and cannot find any other barber better than the one found at J Cuts. The barber is very friendly and listens to your suggestions in how you want your hair done. Whether its from wanting a simple fade to even a comb over look, J Cuts can give you the look you want.
There is only 1 barber, however, he is very fast and efficient. If the wait is a problem, its no big deal as the place has a nice flat screen TV with a great sound system to help make the waiting swing by quickly.
I would recommend this place over any barber because of the cheap price, great experience, easy waiting time, and great location.

This was my go to Barber when I lived in Northridge. I moved away since but once in a while still come back my hairstyle is pretty simple and always comes out great so I’m always satisfied. They do get busy so you may have to wait since its only himself cutting. Come here if you want no frills simple to the point haircuts with TV to watch while you get a cut.

Exceptional barber and a professional individual. What I really like about this place is how I can get a haircut and watch tv at the same time. The tv was literally right infront of me. Most importantly, he cut my hair really well and I’ll definitely be his regular customer from now on. He is very meticulously and takes his time like a perfectionist.

this man has always been patient and dependable for my hair cuts. I dont know what the other people on here are talking about. if he messed your hair up, its probably a lack of communication. learn how to communicate and im sure hell hget you hair perfect next time. it sounds like you were just impatient and mean which got you the bad haircut. im sure you deserved the «cone head look» or «scruffed/​uneven beard» thats not even a beard… shave like a normal person if you cant grow one. this man is the best. just stop being impatient and rude.

I asked for a «0″ on the side with a combover look on the top leaving it long so I could style it. And he said …“Okay»
And this is the outcome (see picture)… he almost totally shaved my head and shaped my hair in a shape of a cone head. WTF. He wasn’t apologetic for what he did to my hair and just said «use gel to style it». And now I have no other choice but to burden this look until my hair grows out.
I am DONE with J Cut.

WTF JUST HAPPENED TO ME. I have never felt this way after a haircut. It’s the equivalent of being rejected from a job that you wanted really bad. Just that gut wrenching, sick-​to-​your-​stomach feeling.
I sit down on the chair and he seems to be having trouble running a comb through my hair so I ask if I should go wash my hair (he has a sign that asks you to wash your hair if it’s tangled or thick which mine is neither). He tells me it’s too late to wash my hair and starts cutting with absolutely no water. I have NO idea what this senile man is telling me because of how thick his accent is. Anyway I convey to him I want a four on the sides and a trim on top. He uses a four on the clipper to cut my sides which is fine, then he just starts going YOLO at my hair on the top. He grabs the size nine clippers and goes at my head as if he’s mowing the lawn, no thought process just efficiency. Already I’m scared and regretting coming here. THEN HE GRABS THE SCISSORS AND STARTS CUTTING AT RANDOM. Total random. He doesn’t go for a certain length or anything, he’s just cutting in random places on my head. I swear I could have been more accurate at cutting my hair if I gave myself a haircut without a mirror and with my eyes closed. Then he asks about my sideburns. Oh the sideburns… I tell him to cut it very little, which he does. THEN HE STARTS SHAVING HALF MY BEARD. I had a scruff going and this guy just starts buzzing down half my beard. So I’m sitting here writing this review with a half-​scruff, half-​buzzed beard (which I will post a picture of) and I am furious. I get home and lo and behold my hair is completely uneven. Parts of my hair are half-​an-​inch longer than other parts some are half-​an-​inch shorter with no pattern whatsoever. This guy is trash. I have never in my life had a worse haircut. EVER. WTF DID HE DO TO ME! I HATE YOU!

I had my hair cut a few times in the past year at this establishment but something never seemed right it was just the reasonable price and dire need to get my hair cut that brought me there. He was agitated if you didn’t select the clippers for the entire cut and he usually did it in just a few minutes. I finally understood today because I went to a traditional barber shop and a lot of time was taken and my hair finally looks good because they know how to use scissors. He is nice at J Cut but I will not return.

I’m a travel nurse from June to October 2013 assigned to North Ridge and Simi Valley area. I went to J cut Barber thrice and I definitely like the service. The barber is knowledgeable about different men’s style and sometimes suggest things based on your hair growth and head formation. No complaints when I was there last year.
You all can try it for yourself and I’m sure you won’t regret it.

I decided to come here to get my haircut a couple of years ago, after seeing the high ratings for this place. I had been going to Salon Mila out in Reseda until it changed and became Cut Loose.
It has a men’s club kind of vibe, the place that screams, if you’re a guy, you belong here. Maybe its because I’ve usually just gone to a salon most of my life for a haircut, where’s you’re stuck looking at magazines in silence or the sounds a mother trying to restrain her kids and then get some stylist who doesn’t care to be there or would rather try to sell me useless products, but this was a nice change of pace for me.
As others have mentioned, there’s a large flat panel TV streaming whatever the owner usually has his Netflix account set to for the customers waiting, as well as a smaller one in front of the chair, so you can still see what’s going on while getting your hair cut. I guess the film selection varies depending on who’s actually waiting, as I’ve been there to see «The Dark Knight», «Transformers» or «Pirates of the Caribbean» playing and other times, there’s some children’s cartoon instead. There’s a couple of large couches you can sit on and watch the movie from any angle There’s also a gamer’s corner, which looks like its hooked up to a PS2 (and has a poster of Rurouni Kenshin)
Most of the customers here look like they’re either young men in college (as CSUN is pretty close to here) or young kids who are with their parents. I’d also say most of the customers that come in are Korean and you’ll definitely hear some Korean conversations going on, but there are also plenty of non-​Koreans there too.
The cost seems to have gone up slightly since I started, (from $ 10 to about $ 12 now), but its still not too bad and its cash only, but at least you can walk in without have to make an appointment.
Parking can be tricky at times, since its shares a parking lot with other popular businesses like Small Island, Bounce Boba Loft and others that try to attract the local CSUN students.
I’d say its a good idea to come early, because you might have to wait a little bit. On my first visit, I came here around 4:50pm, and I had to wait about 15 minutes, as there were a could of other Korean guys ahead of me. But the guy apologized for the wait, which he didn’t have to since there was a movie to watch instead of awkward silence/​muzak and a pile of magazines only women would appreciate. Typically there’s at least 2 – 4 people ahead of me when I come here in the afternoon, but recently I went on a Friday around 2:45pm and there was only one customer ahead of me, so the wait was very short.
Even with the wait, he’s usually quick with the haircut, which usually takes about 15 minutes and he then uses a vacuum to clean up the bits of hair on you, so you don’t have to shake and brush yourself off when you get home or scratch yourself on the ride home. He’ll usually ask how you want your haircut, and then tell you to remember the number or length you told him it for next time, but I’ve been going for a couple of years now, so he pretty much knows how I usually want my hair cut.
Overall, this is a great place for guys to get their hair cut. Keep in mind, this is a barber, so its pretty much about simple haircuts. If you want a fancy haircut with a scalp massage, lots of product for your hair and a chance to flirt with the stylist, all so you can look like some K-​Pop star, there are plenty of fancy salons that you can pay $ 40 or more. This place is more about getting a simple trim or haircut that doesn’t require a lot work and won’t cost you a lot money while enjoying some good movies on a big screen. I’d recommend this barber to any guy looking for a great haircut for cheap.

My go to barber in the valley.
I used to go out to Chinatown to get my hair cut but gas gets expensive and Chinatown gets too crowded. Glad I found J in Northridge. $ 12 is a little bit more expensive but I can live with that.
J is good as long as you don’t want anything too crazy with your hair. My haircut is pretty simple and he’s already remembered me after just a handful of visits. Between 5 – 10 mins and I’m out the door. I normally go in the morning before the other places in the plaza open to avoid traffic and parking situations.
He has a couple couches for you to wait in, couple magazines on a coffee table, a tv on the wall, the whole shingdig. If your hair is oily or styled up he has a sink and towels to wash your hair before the hair cut. Before he had a single seat but now he expanded and has 3 seats for hair cuts. Each seat is infront of a small tv that plays the same thing as the bigger TV. After the haircut he has a vacuum in the ceiling that hangs down to suck up all the clippings on your face and shirt.
Good place. Recommended as long as you know what you want (and numbers).

I like it here, the guy really listens when you tell him what kind of haircut you want. He DOES ask for what length you want the blades to be, so make sure you know what you want BEFORE you come in.
I only wish there was more than just one barber; it takes kinda long when it’s just him. With that in mind, don’t come here if you’re in a hurry.
Other than that though, I recommend this place :)

Been here 5 times.
5 times I’ve had my hair messed up.
This guy doesn’t listen. What’d you expect from a $ 12 hair cut though?

J Cut Barber is a barber shop located in Northridge in a strip mall filled with Asian restaurants.
5*****? Are you kidding me?
Well, I sit down in the chair, and the first thing the barber asks me is «What number do you want?»
Really?
What number?
You’re the barber, you tell me.
I don’t know what buzzer length my hair is. If I did, I wouldn’t be in here looking for a haircut. If the only thing you know how to use is a buzzer, what am I paying you for?
Haven’t you ever heard of scissors?
Unfortunately, I did not listen to the voice inside my head telling me to «get out!» I told the barber my hair gets a little curly, and I just wanted it cleaned up a bit. He didn’t seem to understand anything I said to him. As predicted by his opening question, he hardly used a scissors at all. The haircut wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t sharp or clean looking either. It definitely looked amateurish and frizzy.
If you get a scissors cut, you will notice that the hair is layered, and has nice sharp edges. It usually looks better for a lot longer. The buzzer, in contrast, looks sloppy. For $ 10, it looked ok for only a couple of days and was not worth it.
The Verdict: cheap, as in you get what you pay for. Well, less than, actually. Better pull out the «number 9» and buzz it yourself.

This guy is great. I have been to him a few times now and I have never seen another Caucasian in the establishment. He still does a great job of cutting my hair, and although he doesn’t speak very much English, he always gets the gist of what I ask for and seems like a pretty chill guy.
Only ten dollars for a haircut too.
