Garoon

I found my new barbers. I had haircuts by both barbers and both are friendly and spend time on your hair and do great work.

I’ve been coming to Garoon since I moved to Los Angeles about three years ago. It’s a great no frills barbershop that has very reasonable prices. While there is a bit of a language barrier (I don’t speak Armenian) both barbers are friendly and I’m always able to effectively communicate how I want my hair cut. Both barbers do good work. This place is CASH ONLY.

CASH ONLY
I’ve been looking for a new barber since relocating. Although I have been in and around Glendale for some time now I always got my cuts in OC. And you know how much it really sucks to relocate, leave your established hair stylist, and start back from square one.
I called in advance to see if they accepted walk-​ins. Let’s just say that it doesn’t help when (a) there is a language barrier and (b) cell reception stinks where you are.
So I just went for it considering that they’re just a hop, skip, and jump from the Galleria. It’s a small lot but I must have been lucky for a weekday afternoon. Inside it’s your typical no-​frills barbershop. They have TVs running behind the chairs so that you can get your CNN fix (?) while your hair is being cut. There isn’t much dialog because unless you speak Armenian, you’re almost out of luck. Although I’m born here I don’t speak the language… yet there’s an unspoken understanding.*
Without being asked they took care of my eyebrows and other rogue hairs because like my fellow brethren we can be a bit on the hairy side. They also really took their time to get my receding line taken care of. The result? A clean fade that probably would have cost $ 15 but ended up being $ 10. Not bad.
This just may end up becoming my new barber. Stay tuned.
* Soapbox time. I’ve seen other reviews about barbershops around Glendale being «racist» or playing favorites. Guess what? Every ethnicity has its unspoken «language» or «favorites» so please don’t pretend that this doesn’t go on in other ethnic shops.

Needed a newBarber and came across this place in Glendale on Unilocal,very clean and classic barbershop design. I probably became a customer for life. Oh and did I mention it’s the best price around. Plain and simple quality and value !

Great haircuts at an incredible price. They take pride in their work and really take their time in giving me a good haircut. This is the only barber I go to now.

Communication was bad ended with a ok haircut not what I wanted older guy was extremely nice but need to work better in communicating!

Gentle, thoughtful and a good haircut for my son! And only $ 10! My son has found his barber finally! He hated getting his haircut before now.

This place is awesome! I’m a hip lady with long hair and the sides of my head shaved, let me tell you, they were wondering what i was doing there when I first walked in.
I got a bangin’ haircut for $ 10. TEN DOLLARS. I will never get the sides of my head shaved anywhere else, including mom. Sorry, Mom.

Wov! This place plays favorites. I waited for 30 mins and they took their friends and family before they serviced me even though they came later. Never going back again.

Best haircuts ever. This is the first place I have ever been where I like my hair immediately after walking out of the place. Every other time in my life that I have gotten a haircut, it’s taken a couple weeks to grow in and look decent. These guys really know what they’re doing and they use techniques I’ve never even seen before. Really logical techniques that make me wonder why no one else has ever done these. My hair is awesome every time. Mega cheap too! Go and tip well!

The ten dollar haircut that’s worth thirteen.
As someone who gets the «senior» buzz cut I can generally go to almost any barber shop and my hair will look as good as it ever will. What I liked about this place was attention to detail. The barber I saw had the chair further from the door (I didn’t catch his name). Unlike many places I’ve been to, he took care of those pesky hairs on the ears as well as clipped the rogue ones in my eyebrows, completely without being asked. He went over each area a few times to even everything out, and the hair line around the ears is very even and smooth. A great haircut. Most places charge $ 13 for a lesser job.
I would also add that there is easy parking and the area is very safe, unlike what you find around many of the less pricey barbershops.
I’ve only been this one time, but I highly recommend this place.

An amazing 5 star experience!
Don’t let the size of the barber shop fool you; there are 2 barber chairs and a hairwash station. However, what these guys lack in square footage they make up for in pizzaz, style, and great customer service!!!
The boy needed a haircut –bad. After an extremely lack luster service at a local Hollywood barber shop I decided to expand my radius and take a look for somewhere else that would be a million times better. The boy is one of those old timey traditional kind of guys, so I wanted to look for somewhere that screamed «old school traditional» and not «baller gangsta big screen plasma». A quick search lead me to Garoon, which is a short walk away from the Glendale Galleria.
We both walked in with no appointment, and we were both greeted accordingly. Siroush greeted him with a firm handshake and a welcome gesture towards an open chair and I was greeted (I believe by Garoon) with a kiss on the hand, and an offer of coffee (which I declined), and candy (which I accepted!). Siroush was even nice enough to change the TV station from some Armenian programming to an English version of «The View» for me. I didn’t ask for the station to be changed, but don’t think that went unnoticed.
The boy explained what he wanted done (short on the sides, longer on top, with a shave) and Siroush got to work. Garoon, who was finishing up with a client came to talk to me after he was done, and although there was a bit of a language barrier with both men — they are both HYSTERICAL! Siroush lightly buzzed Tylers hair before he really got to work with scissors. he cleaned up his neck line, ear line, and took care of the fuzzy mess that was my boyfriends hair. He also shaved his face with a straight razor, cleaned up his stache, and (HALLELUJAH!!!) took care of Tylers eyebrows which were in a bit of a grown out stage.
Now Tyler has baby baby skin (he’s going to love me putting that on the internet) so his skin — especially his neck did get a bit irritated with the straight razor. But Siroush took care of that by putting calming lotion, baby powder, after shave, and everything else you can throw at a mans skin that is so sensitive it is irritated by a feather. All in all he pampered Tyler as much as a manly man will let you pamper them. Tyler came out looking even more fantastic, and the haircut and a shave cost $ 20 pre-​tip.
You know a place is good when a picky picky picky man leaves and goes «I’ve found my new barber shop» and for this they deserve 5 stars!

Been goin to this place for years now
Always a joy walking in here and as you walk out more joy is given to you & should I add confidence ;).
This place has been around for over 30 years probably the oldest barber shop in town and was recently renovated with nice upgrades
They all do a great job with great prices a must try will definitely leave you with no choice but to return.
I promise

This place is awesome, ask for Siroush. This is a classic barber shop with some nice middle eastern touches, if you’ve been out towards that part of the world you understand that the barber shop is a great place for a man to visit — get your beard handled here. This is the place you go if you can get your hair-​cut done with a clipper or if you want a real full-​on shave. Very enjoyable razor sharp shave to my head and face costs $ 15, well worth it on a Sunday afternoon in particular. ..

wonderful.
I have been going to this shop for almost a year now. They are so professional, clean and friendly. The haircut that I get here is exactly what I ask for; way better than all the other local or chain shops that I used to go. And you get a great haircut here at about $ 10!
I also like the fact that the owner is a very nice and friendly man.
They have recently remodeled the shop and it is now a very clean and classy shop.
Highly recommended.

They fade great… When I walked in they offered me tea… where else can you get a tea & a fade???

First time i went to this barber in 1996 and was going there for 4 years, but after moving to new place decided to try new barber who was close to me. After going to the new place for about year i could see that i am still not geting what i used to get, not even close. So i decede to go back, even if i have to driver longer distance. Now i have been going there for another 10 years, though i now live even further away. I drive from Encino all the way to Glendale just to see him. Khachik is a great barber, very experienced and is only one that knows how to make it wright for me. He is also very nice, kind and a friendly man. He never rushes it like others who want to get rid of you in order to get the second customer, he makes sure that he finishes right and neat. Great barber!!!

Hands down, the best haircut I received all year, and with a smile and a hefty amount of cash still left in my wallet!

I spent years looking for a barber and/​or hair stylist that gave me exactly what I was looking for: a great haircut at a reasonable price. I spent a lot of bucks over the years going to fancy salons, but with my pocket book being stretched more than ever, I decided to look for a local «old-​school» barber shop. For $ 10 (and a generous tip), I have been getting a first-​class haircut that matches or exceeds any cut at a fancy salon. It’s just a short drive from my home in Los Feliz and well worth it!
