Best Barber Shops In Santa Monica

“Amazing haircut, Jasu is extremely skilled with a scissors and gave an amazing haircut. One of the best haircuts I have gotten for medium to long length hair.“

“I’ve been getting my haircut from Alex for over 10 years, in those years I’ve changed my hair style numerous times, but the quality has stayed consistent. All the barbers there are also very experienced and commit to the same level of quality and professionalism, definitely worth a shot if you’re thinking about stopping by.“

“There’s usually no wait or just a few minutes. She’s quick, personable, and does a really good job. It’s expensive, but it’s on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. It doesn’t hurt that she is walking distance away from where I live.“

“This is a really cool, upscale, spot to get a nice haircut. Asa is awesome and great to chat with! She transformed my long mop into a stylish cowboy mullet.“

“Danny at Pico Barbershop is the best. I tried lots of barbershops when I moved here and all felt low quality compared to this place. Highly recommend.“

“My son got a haircut here and loved it the experience was amazing and his barber Louis was amazing as well. My son normally likes his hair long and in his face but Louis shortened it perfectly! Overall the vibe, service, and quality was amazing and my son is so happy and even asked me to write this review, we will definitely be back.“

“Fernando gave me my very first haircut when I was just 2 years old, and I’ve been going to him ever since—16 years and counting. He’s consistent, skilled, and genuinely cares about what he does. Every visit is a 5-star experience. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair.“

“Amazing!! I couldn’t say enough positive things, after 4 1/2 years of hunting down a colorist and stylist I have finally found my tribe. Linda, the owner absolutely gets customer service which again is so refreshing. It’s as though I’ve never experienced it before… Which is only because everyone else truly sucks at this these days. Lol despite that she is talented as our all of her stylist I’ve been to two of them so far I have zero complaints. The prices are not astronomical., her stylist are super friendly. They listen and aim to please, and everybody’s nice to everybody, not just to their own clients… for a second I thought perhaps I was on a reality show, but they really are just that nice and helpful and honest !! give him a go and tell him Misty referred you, for no other reason than to know that their hard work does pay off.
For the record Joe from New Zealand did a phenomenal job on my haircut and Jeanie, completely took me by surprise because she looks so young that has skills like a master colorist

I will not go to anyone else from this point going forward. I am not easy. Neither of them seem to care. ?.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Big thanks to Lincoln Barbers for the great service and clean cuts. The staff was professional, friendly, and really paid attention to detail. I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Thursday April 23rd 2026:
8 years later I'm back for another review. This Barber shop stands the test of time and the best people work here. Good ole Xavier is amazing!

I had an awesome experience! It reminded me of the good ole days. A barbershop that really is a genuine barbershop! I needed a haircut and as I was walking by the owner was giving a haircut and invited me right on in! Treated me like a real gentleman! My haircut is great and I will definitely go back.“

“Been here for me and my 2 teen boys a couple of times. Johnny did a great job cutting per boys request.“

“Brandon has been my barber for 10 years and he is THE BEST.
Perfect cut every time. Great vibe at the salon. Always a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!“

“Sotos barbershop is amazing, I have been going since they opened in 2018. Fernando and Consuela are both amazing, and always friendly. I have never been disappointed with one of their haircuts. I will always continue to comeback, and I have recommended Sotos to a couple of my friends.“

“Needed a last minute haircut for an event. Everywhere I looked was by appointment only. This shop accepted walk ins. David was phenomenal in cutting my hair. I have thinner hair on top, with his expertise he cut it to make it much fuller looking and gave tips on stylizing to help. Price was more than far 10/10 would recommend men with thinning hair to come here for a cut!“

“Tom, the proprietor is fast and friendly. If you want a great hair cut and great customer service, you have found the right place.“

“Mauricio has been my guy for almost 10 years. Love the flexibility and always finding time for me when I text last minute no matter how busy his saturdays are. Great guy and artist too!“

“Went to Danny today as my usual Barber moved. Booking via the website was quick and easy.

I’m particular about getting my haircut, like most people, but Danny made me feel at ease straight away. He was efficient and communicative throughout, double and triple checking I was happy before I walked out, offering make any alterations if I wanted. I’ve found my new barber.“

“Tina is remarkable. Her skill and technique are immaculate, and she's a chill awesome presence in the room. My husband and I both go, we have totally different hair types and personal vibes, and Tina always helps both of us look great. You're not going to find anyone better!“

“Mike is the best. I discovered him by chance about a year ago. I live in the neighborhood, and used to just let the first available barber at the shop cut my hair. That’s how I first met Mike, but ever since my first cut with him, I haven’t let anyone else cut it.

He’s super talented, executes exactly what I ask for, and is always a pleasure to chat with and makes me feel welcome. Additionally, the shop has a very cool old-school vibe, and the prices are quite reasonable.

I highly recommend Mike to anyone in the area. And even if you’re not in the area, he’s worth the drive!“

“Yamell is the best barber in LA! Always keeps his clients looking fresh. Never going anywhere else from now on!“

“Manny, the owner, is a local with a great barbershop that has an old-school vibe. He did a great job on my haircut. The shop is clean, comfortable, and chill. Best of all, his pricing is fair and affordable. Support a local business owner who values his customers and community. Highly recommended!“

“I just got a haircut from Jimmy and this is honestly the best haircut I’ve gotten in the past year. He gave me a perfect fade on the sides and back, he took out some density from my hair which was very needed and the best part was what he managed to do for my bangs. He gave me such a great fringe cut which is hard to do. Usually when I get a haircut they can’t do much to texturize the bangs, so I just have to do it with styling cream at home but Jimmy did such a good job that I don’t really need styling cream which really amazed me. Thank you for the great haircut!!“

“60 years I never had a barber treat me the way I have with Valerie it's above and beyond phenomenal and I mean phenomenal beyond words!
After Valerie takes care of me at a great haircut shave everything the whole works I feel blessed by the best and too blessed to be stressed thank you so much again Valerie for your passion +purpose=? especially your natural authenticity and gifted blessed by the best gifted Barber/ healer experience! Thank you so much Valerie!???️???????????“

“Great barbers, moved into the area recently and this place seemed like a safe bet and it definitely is & more. I’ve gotten cuts off Kevin & Zac and I’ve been super happy with both and I don’t have easy hair to deal with. Highly reccomend.“

“Moving to a new city makes it hard finding a stylist. You go through so many just to find the perfect one. Michale is a true seasoned professional. She corrected my oh-so-orange hair. Giving me what I originally wanted plus dimension. She’s become my new and only California stylist.“
