Debonair Barber & Shave Parlor

Great spot for haircut or shave, been going for awhile and I’ve had every barber there and they are all excellent, my favorite part is no wait since they are all great! Super chill atmosphere, I’ll be going here for years thanks guys

If you like places where everyone knows your name, Debonair is like the Cheers of barber shops. Mark is the man I go to but all the guys are super talented and passionate about their profession. What’s more is the free beer and pool table…’nuff said, check ‘em out!

Never, ever, happened before. My haircut was a shame. The haircut was easy to do but yet even a 3 yo child would have done a better job.

#GOAT L. A’s hidden Best barbershop Hollywood/​West Hollywood has to offer. COOL VIBES, Jams for days, and A1 Barbers!!! Im from the south Houston TX to be exact, and back home they know how to cut #catchthefade and for the longest I could never find a Barber in LA that cuts like what Im used to. And I be, I found a barber that cuts better than any barber Ive ever went to Anthony «Dretti» #lookatGOD. Check him out, just check the shop out all the barbers are FIY, If Im lyin I’m dyin, k. Moral of this paragraph, Debonair is the BEST Barbershop in LA, «Dretti» is the #GOAT drops mic…

The only shop in the city that could do last minute finger waves. They were great about getting me out on time and I learned how to do finger waves on short curly hair. All together a great shop.

Awesome place! Fantastic cuts, great vibe and location. What else can you ask for? Everyone is cool, Preki’s the best!

5 star treatment
5 star results!
loved this place, the barbers are very experienced, especially Ellis! Ellis is very attentive and detail oriented. She listens to what you want and she does everything so perfectly! She did a beard line up and haircut for me and I love it! she is very chill, even though I was so picky, she didn’t mind it at all because she is so passionate In what she does.
Here is a photo of the work she’s done for me:

Great vibe and great people over here. I get my cuts from Mark and he does an amazing job. He knows what looks good and gives some great tips on the styling. When I decide to switch up that hairstyle, I trust he’s going to make me look fresh.
Always a good time at the shop and get some great conversations going on too! Always looking forward for my cuts! I definitely recommended this spot.

A good barbershop is hard to find. It’s been even harder to find a barber to trust to do my undercut. Preki is my barber and one of the owners. He’s phenomenal. All of the boy barbers are great and they all do dope designs as well. They’ve become great friends since my first cut. Always very welcoming. There’s a pool table available while you wait and you’re offered a water or beer as well. Come here to get your haircut!

I’ve been going to Preki for about a year now. I’ve gone to a lot of shops in LA before and it feels amazing to know I finally have a barber who I can trust time and time again to get the job done right. Preki has a great eye and is the only barber who styles my hair and I never have to fix it afterwards. Highly recommended!

Super cool and friendly barbers. They serve beers to their patrons and they take their work seriously. I mainly go to the barber Mark Franco for my haircuts and the occasional designs but all the barbers are capable and got the art form down to a scienece. Would definitely recommend this shop!

Go see Mark «The Gift» Franco.
He does this thing with the smock where he flips it in the air just as you get in his chair that exudes confidence.
The small details on how he places his tools, the way he listens to how you want to get cut, that all adds up to create an experience.
I accidentally walked in to Debonair about 9-​months ago and I’ve been getting cut by him every-​week, ever since. I have literally only missed 2 times within a 9-​month period and that goes to show how it’s all about the relationship between barber and client.
He’s the first one there, he’s the last one to leave and you have to respect that!
I don’t just go in to get a fade, I go in to let him know how my week was. I go in to talk about the hustle, to talk about the grind, and to talk about making dreams into reality.
The rest of the squad works with the same intensity and passion and it’s something I come to expect week in and week out.
If you’re still reading this review then I’m sure you might be hesitant when choosing a new barber. It’s like any relationship. It takes work.
But when I’m in the chair, usually the first chair, everything just seems right and everything just works.
Talk to him, ask him about his vision, he’s not just cutting for a buck because anyone can do that. He cuts so he can master the craft and with that give back to the community. Real talk.

Definitely a great barber shop to go to! My girl had long beautiful hair, but felt it was damaged and wanted to re grow it out. So for the first time in her life she got a super short haircut. From Mark Franco! She loved it! Video and pictures!

My cousin introduced me to this spot and Mark cleaned me right up. My head is to what I think oddly shaped and when it comes to haircuts I only trust a few. Mark gave a clean taper and did exactly as I explained. Good vibes, dope music. Enough said.

My hair was blessed!!!
I was honestly so nervous to get my undercut considering I had never done anything so drastic to my locks before but my barber reassured me how good it would come out, and he was right. The shop in itself has such a great and welcoming atmosphere that you wouldn’t come back just for a haircut but for the company. I now make the 40 minute drive from the valley to Melrose every week since November for «Dretti» so I had to dedicate my first review to him (: @grimedretti on ig to see some of his work!

My boyfriend and I are in town and needed a haircut. We walked by the shop and liked the décor. We looked on Unilocal and judging by the reviews we decided to to get our hair cuts. My boyfriend wanted a fade and got a high and tight. I have a undercut on one side with the nape of my neck shaved. ALL I WANTED WAS IT CLEANED UP. I asked the girl how would it look if I got bangs and she said yeah that’ll look cute and with the clippers she shaved my hair and gave me bangs!!! It’s so short it’s now pixie bangs. She asked me if I wanted a design and I said yes I was thinking about it but needed a fade to clean it up for a wedding I’m going to this weekend. This girl touched my head with everything she has it seems like. I have now bald spots on the back of my head. Throughout my botch job she was taking pictures and snap chatting everything. I asked her if she always takes pictures of her clients without asking and she looked at me like I’m nuts. But I’m sorry if your going to take pictures and post it on social media you should ask your client first.
This place is beyond unprofessional and not worth your time and money. She charged me $ 65 for bangs that’s not straight nor the length I wanted and the back of my head with bald spots. I’m beyond distraught and at disbelief that someone would think what they did was ok and then charge for me for it. If I wasn’t with my boyfriend I would’ve refused to pay her anything because now I have to grow my hair out for months to get fixed.

Literally the Best Barbershop in L.A.
I moved to LA from Houston TX, like 2 years ago, This is the only shop where I can get a cut like back home, and in my opinion even better, Anthony «Dretti is my barber and I highly recommend him, check out his IG @grimedretti you will have a new barber for Life, He’s Fiy I’m heck a particular about my hair, and I don’t even have to wonder if my hair will be on point when I’m in Dretti’s chair. I will be going to Debonair for as long as I live in Southern Cali, basically forever!

My boyfriend was looking for a new barber & a good friend recommended him to come here.
Since we were in the area, I came with him to get his hair cut. As soon as you walk in you can feel the welcoming energy from all of the barbers. I didn’t feel out of place (which usually doesn’t happen for girls at barber shops).
They offered us both refreshments for free (which doesn’t even happen at salons)! They also have a professional pool table that you can play while you wait.
Prekie did such an excellent job with his hair I just had to show my appreciation. I don’t know much about men’s hair however, the detail, blending and sharpness was perfectly on point.
Such great vibes, I wouldn’t mind coming back and waiting for him to get cut again.

HAPPY BEARD!
I had started to look feral (every guy with a beard knows this feeling.
I had a last minute photo shoot and couldn’t go there looking like I’d stumbled in from the wild. So I checked out Unilocal and gave Debonair on Melrose a try.
I called MARK (note their new number) 383−780−6405 and he graciously offered to let me come in, first thing.
I got there and Mark was a super cool dude! Friendly – and talented! He offered me water (or a beer on tap), I sat down and he got started.
This guy’s got natural talent, and because he’s chill he puts you at ease. I told him I wanted my beard cleaned up, and he knew exactly what I needed. I also asked for a buzz on the head.
The head was easy. The beard requires clippers, scissors, and even a turn with a comb and straight razor.
When he showed me the results I was delighted. MY BEARD WAS HAPPY – EXACTLY the way I wanted it to look. Clean, even, simple – perfect!
Some of the other barbers arrived and they were equally laid back – a very comfortable atmosphere.
The cost of all this: $ 25.
Plus – this is a cool part of Melrose with lots of cool and reasonable stores.
You can book Mark directly online, too:
THANKS, MARK!

Very awful haircut I have ever received
I cannot even describe with words
I will never recommend this place to anybody
Seemed like person was high
