Diamond Cut

Saw good reviews on Unilocal,decided to try it… good spot, the husband cut my hair. :)

I am pretty tall so I get most of my haircuts from ceiling fans. But upon meeting Richard and Christie I found a place I plan on being a regular at for a long time. Not only are they personable, they remember where we left off our conversation every time. The best haircut for the price that i’ve found in Los Angeles.

I am not sure about all this 5 star reviews. If you want and old fashion hair cut then you will probably be ok coming to this place.
I asked for an specific hair cut where a blade is needed, and i was told «It was not needed, the trimmer is the same as blade»
For $ 8 i have gotten a lot better haircuts than this place.
I am not never coming back here. I do not recommend this place to anyone!

The best barber in Lincoln Heights
He really knows whats good for u
Ive been going here for 12 years already
Richard n Christie are the best prople slso very nice couple
I will recommend them to all my family n friends very very reasonable also

You simply can’t beat a haircut for 8 dollars, but also can’t beat the fact that this very polite married couple really does put in work and effort to really make sure you’re happy with you’re cut. Tried this place on the way to the airport one day and I honestly now get the same quality cut here that I was getting at any of my old $ 50 for 10 minute cut hipster salons. Highly recommended for saving money for a good quick cut :)

Been going here for the past 7 years.
Men’s cut is 8 bucks and I usually pay 2 dollars for tip.
I really hope they upgrade the interior as sitting on those wooden benches while waiting in line will make your butt numb.
My recommendation is to avoid going there between 11 am to 2 pm on Saturdays and Sundays to avoid a long wait. They are open until 6pm. Go late :-)

My husband and I went here on a Saturday and had a good experience. We both got our hair cut for $ 30 (and that includes a tip of over 20%). The couple who run the establishment are charming and we like that it is a family-​run business.

Been coming here for about five years and there is a reason why this is my go to place for a haircut. It is owned by a married couple and they are very nice people. The only thing about this business is that they closed on Tuesday.
The price for a regular haircut is $ 8.

I’ve been getting my hair done from this place since I was a teeny bopper. They are always updated w/​the styles and they know how to cut.

I’ve been coming to this place since it opened. They do everything from haircut to coloring and perms. So the owners have basically seen me grow up through the years. The shop is actually located in a small plaza across the street from Smart & Finals & Yoshinoya. I usually get a shampoo with my cut so it comes out to $ 12. Don’t like to have hair all over my neck and head after a hair cut. The plaza has about 6 parking spots for 4 – 5 businesses. So you can imagine how challenging it could get. There is street parking if you are lucky. Most of the cars parked on the streets are the residents of the neighborhood. Richard does a pretty consistent job with my hair about 95% of the time. All I can say is that they are very nice an accommodating. I usually only have time to go here after work on my way home. But I usually get off of work at 5:30 and they close at 6. So if you give them a call and say that you are coming, they will wait for you. It’s true that Richard always talks about the Lakers. I’m so glad that they have cable on that big 42″ screen that they got from Costco on black Friday. For the longest time, they only used an antenna, so the only time you can catch a Lakers game is when they are playing away. The one thing that I have a problem with about the shop is that since it’s located in a low income area, you would get some homeless or drunk people hanging out by the donut shop. Although they don’t bother you or anything, it’s still unsettling.

Background: Local hair cut parlor/​beauty salon/​barber shop. This place basically provides hair cut services. It’s operated by an old Asian couple, and unlike other beauty salons that I’ve been to, they are actually licensed to barber by the state.
Atmosphere: This place is located in a small plaza on Pasadena Ave, right next to a donut shop. Parking is kind of difficult, since the small lot usually has about 1 – 2 spots available and the adjacent streets are usually packed full of cars and are very tight to drive through. You can usually find a spot in the plaza lot though. When you enter, there will be a small waiting area to your left and the barber seats on your right, behind the counter, where they cut people’s hairs and whatnot. Along the walls of the shop are glamour shots of old school hairstyles (white men and women sporting wavy looking 80s style hair). Think old Paul Mitchell styles. The place does seem like it’ll need a bit of sprucing up, but everything feels in place for some reason.
Monetary value: I’ve been getting my hair cuts here for the past several months and I’ve been more than satisfied. A simple men’s cut costs about $ 9, which is a bit more than the $ 6 – 7 cuts in Monterey Park, but I don’t mind. I think it’s a pretty fair price, considering I come here every 2 months rather than the average 6 weeks for a typical man. I’ve been to cheaper and more expensive places that didn’t provide as much service or satisfaction.
Fun: Don’t know why I included this category for this type of business, but I am quite satisfied when I walk out of this shop. My hair feels better and ‘free’ once it’s shorter.
Service: The guy who does all the men’s cuts is pretty attentive and performs meticulously. I’m surprised he sort of remember me and my brother after having out last cut there several months before. He’s pretty nice and usually engages in small talk when you see him. He’ll ask how you want you hair to be cut, and if you wanted the same style as last time. Waiting time is around 15 – 20 minutes, give or take, per person in line on a typical day, but it goes by pretty fast since there usually isn’t a long line. Maybe 1 – 2 customers in the shop at any given time of the day.
OVERALL: This is my preferred to go to barber whenever I need to get a haircut. Great service at decent prices. I would highly recommend if you’re in the area and can’t be bothered to go to Monterey Park.
