Legends The Barbershop — Local services in Los Angeles

Intro: Cutting black peoples hair in California is like pulling teeth. Sit seems like this market focus on white and Latino hair, and being from Atlanta, this is a culture shock. Being in the hair Capital of the world, Atlanta can cut anybodies hair because they specialize in hair. I went to multiple barber shops and my hair cut was always a mess, until I met Reg the barber.

Price: The price he charged me for a hair cut is very good. Other barbers that are over charging people need to stop and go back to the drawing board. If your going to charge a Master Barber price, you better have skills like Reg the Barber.

Haircut: I was nervous when I came to the barbershop and the chair was empty. However, he schedules mostly by appointment and will take walk ins. He didn’t push back my hairline and he hasn’t cut up my face with sharp razors. Based on your face type, he can recommend multiple different styles. Reg takes a lot of care when cutting your hair. Also, my hair looks healthier since I have been going to Reg. I would recommend his service to anyone because you can’t have everyone in your head (true statement).

Personality: Reg is very professional and makes sure not to have you wait (which is a huge plus). Booking appointment is the best option because he will make sure to be courteous to your time.

Location: This barber shop is located in a very popular part of town and by a lot of shops. It’s going to be packed, so if you book an appointment with Reg, make sure to be earlier than normal to be able to park.

Overall: I recommend Reg the Barber to anyone, especially black people, needing a haircut in California. Again, you cannot have everyone in your head, however I recommend you go see Reg the Barber. I am a loyal...

I truly appreciated the work the Reg The Barber did on me. He saw me walking down the street and handed me his card and I thought to myself, “on my next cut I’ll come by and give him a try.” I came here and literally got the best haircut of my life. I appreciated his attention to detail and his ability to take direction. I work in a service industry and need to look the same all the time, as a part of my brand. He took my brand and enhanced it. My mom said I looked good, my partner said I looked good, my co-workers said I looked good and everyone said the same thing, “whoever you went to... keep going back.” When you see the title Master Barber it’s correct and an understatement. More like barber Jedi.

In terms of the in shop experience and ambiance, I will also say this: as a queer black man I’ve always been a little leery of barber shops. Growing up I’d get my hair cut in south LA; getting cut on Crenshaw all my life dealing with toxic masculinity and problematic language was par for the course. After a while, I just started going to the Korean barber shops. Here at legends; the discussion is woke, the conversations are uplifting, and I always come out of this shop feeling like a better version of myself. Come on by; ask for Reg. Really though, all of the barbers here...

You want a $1000 cut at a percentage of the price? Legends is where you need to be. You might not be a living legend but you will surely leave feeling like one. All the barbers have elite skills so a seat might be hard to come buy without a reserved appointment but even if you have to sit aside it’s definitely worth the wait. Vibes of the shop are on full tilt, so there’s never a dull moment. Don’t take my advice but I always book with Mike “Mizzel” Minter or as some would call him “The Hands Of God” lol. Homie cut my hair so good one time I caught the Holy Spirit. My girl saw the blend on my taper and started speaking in tongues, on god. Anything less than a 5 star review would be shameful. So book your appointment today! Disclaimer- No barbers or patrons were hurt writing this review. I was not paid or threatened to say any of these wonderful words.
