Reviews
"The guy cutting my hair was in such a rush. Didn't give a very good cut and I asked him to fix it. He fixed it a little but I still wasn't ok with it. I just said it looked fine. I didn't want him hacking at my hair any longer. Went to another place that fixed what he messed up."
"There are lots of barbershops which do their best to look like they came out of the 50's or 60's but it's all pretty synthetic and staged once you look past the veneer. Fred's started in 1961 and the shop looks like, well, 1961 including the old style chairs and furnishings. Fred retired some time ago and the shop exchanged hands twice since then. Nevertheless, it earned a reputation of being one of the best barber shops in the Los Angeles area. The current owner, Damon, has genuinely held up that reputation along with the two other barbers he employs. You really get what you pay for here. Old school skills rendered with modern updated equipment. The work isn't just good. It's thoroughly finished down to the smallest polished details. You can't go wrong here. I posted this review which you just read, seven years ago. I understand that it's reached 1000 views. This compels me to correct myself. Since then, I've had the chance to visit several other barber shops in the Gardena and Hawthorne areas. Having educated myself through those experiences, I can say that Fred's Barbershop is far from being one of the best among them. Fred's is a case of you get what you pay for, a discount unfinished, unrefined haircut. Shops that are to going finish and polish a haircut the way it should be done, well, they just charge more for their labor and they're right to do so. If I had the opportunity to score Fred's again, at best it would be three stars and that's being very generous."
"Been getting my haircut with Jimmy for the past couple of years. Always makes an effort to accommodate the client's time schedule and ensure quality cuts. He's usually booked on the weekends so make sure to call about a week in advance to secure a time slot. Have only had my hair cut from Damon once but he's a really cool guy. Would highly recommend!"
"Jimmy is a fantastic barber. He is unique in his memory - he remembers how you like your hair cut and it looks the same every time, unless you ask for something different, which he is happy to accommodate. The service, the ability to schedule appointments, and the little details like his use of thinning shears and straight razor make him the best. Highly recommended."
"Jimmy (barber) is great. My girlfriend also compliments my haircut. Its very clean and crisp. It is a personalized style for each person and not a 'cookie cutter' haircut. Jimmy spends the extra time to trim up around the ears, gives clean lines to the temple area, and the back of the neck. 5 stars. Great price and perfect cut. I liked it so much I took the extra time to leave a positive review."
