Silverlake Barbershop — Local services in Los Angeles

Update almost 3 years later: I don’t like to write negative reviews and even after getting the worst haircut of my life here I left my one star rating with no notes and kept it pushing. But I’ve honestly thought about my experience here constantly since it happened and it bums me out still to this day.

I’m a gay guy who appreciates a good fade and often that means going to an old school dudes barbershop and sitting through all that experience entails. I’m used to barbers talking me up about women that I’m not interested in and I’ll quietly go along with it to be chill.

I had just moved to LA and this was the first shop I tried in town. My haircut was going fine until after multiple personal questions about dating and women I finally just told my barber I was gay to avoid any more of this conversation.

The vibe immediately went left and my haircut was ended less than ten minutes after this point. My dude freaked my hair all the way up quickly - made the front line super jagged and uneven, faded the back into patches, and sent me out the door with my hair fully soaked from the spray bottle. All this while going on a thinly veiled homophobic story I didn’t ask for.

I wish I was exaggerating but this has literally never happened to me before in my life. It left me depressed for weeks and totally killed my confidence when I was new in town. And I still tipped 25% because I’m not a weak punk! Unlike these guys. I wish I remembered his name because I’d drop it if I could.

Brethren, stay away. Not...

It’s always, always tough finding a barber + barbershop + decent pricing, but this spot is here to solve all your problems!

Everyone is the shop is talented and consistent! For the fun of it I gave a couple barbers a try; Santi, Franky, and Alex - all are great so you can’t go wrong with whoever you decided to go with!

I decided to make Alex as my dedicated barber - he’s extremely good at listening to your needs + wants and to bringing your visions to life! I get a high skin fade!

I’m always leaving the shop feeling confident and happy!

Highly recommend to everyone and anyone - no matter the type of cut you want -...

Highly recommend. Make the appointment online as this will be your best bet to getting a chair and a barber. Otherwise you maybe sitting on the bench outside for a long time. My barber was Santi, but I know his team are great as he only has the best barbers in this shop. It has a local feel, great music, respects social distancing and taking of temperature before you can continue with your hair cut. He is respectful of your mask and will have you keep it on while doing the cut, but will move it as he needs to make the cut right. Haircuts are $35 and worth it! Help keep this small business open. I know I will be coming...
