Called one night prior to get an appointment. Was given a vague, tentative commitment to an «walk in time» (whatever that is), and then showed up the next day to discover that I’d have to wait over an hour — not an awesome first experience. In an age of voice recognition technology and soon-​to-​be self-​driving cars, I’m a bit perplexed by a pen-​and-​paper appointment book and a resultant double-​booking. Will give them another shot, however, and update this posting.

Valerie gave my son the best haircut! She was able to do exactly what he wanted — and was done in record time.
What a great experience.

My barber left and I just wanted a decent hair cut. Unbeknownst to me, I would walk into the best hair cut I’ve ever had. NICK is an older gentleman that knows how to do a comb over and blended fade. I always get compliments after getting a hair cut from him.
The price is moderate. $ 25 for a cut and shampoo. Nick is worth more.
He also does a straight razor to clean up your edges.
Thanks, Nick!

Depends who you get here. Some are better than others. But overall a good choice at a good price. Men’s haircuts are awesome. Don’t try to get a blowout here. You won’t be happy. And the shoeshine is convenient and awesome.

Berkeley Barbers is great. Quick, easygoing, and quality haircuts. I was relocated to LA from NYC for six months, and was desperate for my old NY haircut place after striking out at the first and second LA barbershops I tried. Then I found Berkeley and I was much happier. Saw lots of other guys in the shop that looked like repeat customers, and I can see why. I’m back in NY now but would go back to Berkeley next time I need a haircut in the LA/​Santa Monica area.

Came here in October 2015 based on all the four and five star reviews and got a one star buzz cut. You know those times when you’re super dissatisfied but too timid to say something because you don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings? I seriously cringed when I tipped the guy. One of my new year’s resolution is to tell people when they’re doing a sh*t job when providing a service you’re paying for. I guess this place might be a hit or miss depending on who cuts your hair so I’ll give the other reviewers the benefit of the doubt.

This place is now Angelos Barbershop or one of the locations. I got a cut from Frank — it was great.
I think Tom also did good cuts, but I went with Frank for a first try here. Going to stick with him.

Got a haircut today from Keith and It was awesome. I was confused with the $ 23 price says It is for both a haircut and shampoo but I didn’t get any shampoo service. For that, I did it not give it the 5 out of 5 stars. Otherwise Keith gave me a great cut that I was happy with and I was happy that they were able to accommodate my last minute request for an appointment within the hour so that I could take care of it during my work lunch break.

I have been a fan for about 5 years now and have been with both Leslie and now currently Keith as my barbers and I have to give them my highest recommendation.
As Leslie is no longer available at Berkeley Barbers this review will mainly pertain to Kieth. First of all a standard haircut is only $ 23 dollars which is completely worth it if you consider the quality of the cut, personal conversation, shampoo washing, straight razor to the neck and sometimes if time even a massage! This place is a dream and Kieth is always friendly and entertaining. He is so down to earth and easy to schedule an appointment with. I don’t know if I can ever go anywhere else.
Every once in awhile though, I think I will track down Leslie who operates now in the valley somewhere. :)

I found this place by accident one day and am so glad I did! Valerie is the absolute best! She now cuts my sons and husband’s hair. My youngest son used to scream when he got his hair cut but she has such a calm way about her that he is happy to go and get his hair cut. She does an incredible job and is so nice to chat with! She has a son the same age as one of my boys and has given me such great advice. I adore her!

I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years and have been enjoying the great hair cuts that Tracy has been giving me. Every time I walk in with a huge head of hair because I’m lazy to get a consistent cut, but Tracy always gives me a consistent cut and great conversation to make the time pass by fast.
Free parking in the back, can’t ask for more than that in West LA.

Great spot! Since I just relocated to Santa Monica and in dire need of a barber, I was a little scared finding a new place. However, Tracy was totally spot on and gave me an awesome haircut, just like how my regular barber gave my cut back in NY. Very happy I found this place and I would definitely go back.

My favorite haircut place of all time. I am extremely picky about my haircuts and Frank gets it right EVERY SINGLE TIME. All the other barbers are friendly and awesome. Overall an absolutely fantastic place to get a haircut. Whats more the prices are under $ 25 for men. I don’t even want to tell you what I was spending on haircuts before… ask for Frank, he’s the man!

Been coming here off and (mostly) on since 1991 and I’ve never once had a bad experience. For the past five years I’ve had the pleasure to have Keith cut my hair and he gets it right every time. I walk in feeling like Chewbacca wearing a mohair sweater and I come out feeling like a Scot who’s jumped out of a plane wearing a kilt and no underwear (I’m guessing that’s a good feeling.)
Anyway, love it here, and Keith is always personable and skillful. Go already!

Decided to try a new barber today and booked an appointment with Val. She is amazing! Gave me the exact look I wanted (pompadour). Val cuts hair fast but she always makes sure you are getting exactly what you want. Highly recommend her!
Free parking in the back and street parking in the front!

$ 23 for a haircut… I had a great experience. I kinda dont want to give out the name of the barber cause I want it easy for me to get an appointment with her, but anyways it was Valarie. WIll start going here regularly for sure.

This review is strictly for Valerie as I have not tried the other barbers there, but I probably wont try after my experience with valerie.
I went in with no appointment and valerie was the only one available. So I read a few reviews on here about how good she was and was sort of excited.
So let me to you about my experience. The haircut lasted 5 mins. I always ask for a faux hawk with a one on the side. So valerie gave me a one on the side super fast. Then she use scissors to cut the top. The top was so choppy it was horrible. I mean if you are going be fast on a haircut I have no problem with, but at least look at the hair after you cut it.

I usually only go to the barber’s if I have no time to cut my own hair but sometimes it’s nice to get a proper cut from a professional. BB was within walking distance of my house so I decided to give it a shot.
The inside feels a lot bigger than it looks like from Santa Monica Blvd and there is a waiting area in the back, past the barber chairs. It was a Saturday and I actually got a seat faster than others who did have appointments (I guess since most of the guys there have a single barber they prefer).
I had a great experience working with Tracy B! It sounded like she was a newcomer to the shop but I really liked what she did for me (I brought in my tablet to show her a couple of sample pictures of what I wanted)! The pricing was fair at $ 21 for a haircut without tip so I walked out happy and looking better than I did walking in =).

Yep. This is my barber. I had been looking around for one in the area. I tried the Floyd’s, I tried the Tel’s, I tried just about every shop with a generic barber-​sounding guy’s name attached to it and finally I was like «Ugh…Berkeley.»
But I’ve had two great cuts here and I keep coming back. I tried Leslie, like a lot of people suggested, then accidentally tried Mike. Honestly, Mike was much better for my hair (I’m a dude, short inconceivably straight hair) and gave me a cut that looked good even 2 months down the road. I recommend him, but you have to get his number specifically because he’s too cool for the rest of the shop.
The place itself is nice, low-​key, nothing fancy. Exactly what I was looking for from a barbershop.

I was a bit nervous going to a barber shop to get a haircut, but my Unilocal buddies said Leslie was a-​ok. I had to make a drastic change and cut off my long locks for a new look. 11 inches and $ 35 later, I donated my hair and feel great.
Thank you, I shall return. And ladies, fear not! You will be treated well and not ripped off like sooo many other places I’ve been to in the past. Bad haircuts are the worst and I can’t imagine that happening with Leslie because she really listens to her customers.
