Victory Blvd, Valley Glen. Walk in or book online, 10am-8pm every day.
Book Your Chair Try a LookWalk-ins welcome · Open 7 days
Depends on what you want from a chair. A clipper buzz is $30 and 25 minutes; the Dapper Signature Haircut is $50 and 45 minutes; haircut, beard and shave together run $100. We're the right call if you want a barber who speaks your language – English, Russian or Armenian – and a proper cut that isn't rushed. Go elsewhere if all you need is the cheapest ten-minute cut on the boulevard. Walk-ins are welcome every day 10am–8pm; booking online guarantees your chair and your time.
Every visit includes a head wash and a hot towel. The men's spa most barbershops never bothered to be.

Forty-five minutes in the chair, no rush. Walk out sharper than you came in.

Steaming wrap before any blade touches your face. Pores open, beard softens, you exhale. The shave follows.
