I have very thick but extremely fine hair, with cowlicks all over. I’ve tried growing it out three different times and have always struggled to find a barber who understands how to shape it in a way I actually like while also guiding me through the awkward grow-out phases.
I’d recommend Jake to any guy looking for a new barber, regardless of hair type or desired style. Before cutting anything, he takes the time to really listen to what you want, offers his perspective, and works with you based on what he’s seeing to find a style that both looks good and actually works for your hair. That’s hard to find.
Absolutely the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten. Jake Butler is clearly qualified, knowledgeable, and professional. Been cutting my hair with him for 2 years. Getting a haircut from Jake is a damn good boost of confidence. Highly recommend!
I went to a bunch of different barbers in Venice before I saw Jake—and now id never go anywhere else. No one else came close on the haircut quality, not to mention that Jake is professional, keeps a spotless chair, and is fun to talk to. I look forward to haircuts now for the first time in my life. Thanks Jake!
