Cuttin Up

Great local barbershop. Friendly and attentive staff are very capable. $ 20 for a haircut and another $ 5 to add a beard trim.

This spot is exactly what I had been looking for! I work for a finance company on Wilshire, and I was driving all the way back to the hood just to get a hair cut, because I didn’t think there were any Black (Urban) shops in the SM area. This place is less that 5 min from the office and I was elated to find that the folks were super nice (Shanna is my girl) and the environment is very inviting. I would highly recommend this shop!

To summarize, the most shocking haircut experience I’ve ever had. I will give the long story, but the short story is that I walked into this place and the person who cut my hair was not licensed to cut hair. I call in during the evening and ask how much and how late they’re open. The man tells me to stop by, and I head over right away. I get there and it’s this older man, the guy on the phone, and he promises me the best cut I’ve ever gotten. So I sit in the chair and he starts cutting. I like to think I have a high tolerance for pain, but that didn’t matter. It was the most painful haircut of my life. My eyes watered every time he tugged and scraped against me with the machine. He even asked if I was doing alright, because he knew he had «heavy hand». I sucked it up and waited for him to finish, which shouldn’t have taken long since I only came in for a little bit off the sides. All the while this woman sits in the barber shop, on the phone talking to someone. In the middle of the cut she offered the man some help, which put up the first red flag. All of a sudden, a crowd of people roll out of a party bus. A boy walks in and tells the guy cutting my hair «you shouldn’t be cutting hair!!!». That’s when I started to really worry. A man walked in, and the two guys started babbling at each other. The second guy took the guys barber stuff and took over the cut. When he turned the chair, I was horrified. They started talking more while he «fixed» the cut. Not once did either of them apologize to me that night. They even charged me 20 bucks, and the man asked me to give it to the first guy. As I walked out the door, the first guy admitted he wasn’t even licensed to cut hair. I got out of there as fast as I could. In any other situation I would’ve complained, but the shock of everything just made me want to get out of there. Never come here

I just walked a mile in the blazing sun in a 3-​piece suit to get a haircut and they are CLOSED at 12 noon on a Wednesday when they’re supposed to be open…

I got a great haircut here
It’s very convenient
The service is quick and friendly

X is awesome. very warm place, very good barber. the phone number here is wrong but the address is right. just swing by !

The barber/​owner, Xavier, is the man! He’s really funny, always has a story to tell, and is awesome with the clippers. Any guy looking for a short cut definitely should check this place out, a haircut is $ 20 and totally worth it. I highly recommend this place.
