Legends Barber Shop

Thank you Eddie «The World’s Greatest» for another exquisite haircut! I must say that this barber really impresses me from his customer service to his consistent communication with his clients. Anytime I call or text to check his availability for an appointment, he promptly responds, which I can’t say for every other barber that I have experience here in Los Angeles. I’m trying to understand the dynamics of the barbershop because his station is all the way in the back of the shop. As a «Master Barber» one would think that he would be 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd chair, I digress. All in all, he is an extraordinary barber and a low key psychologist, counselor and expert on life experiences. Thanks again Eddie! God bless.

I’ve been going to Legends for a year and a half or two years now. I am openly gay and my husband and I both go there. I heard about a review on here of an experience a person had that they thought was associated with the shop. Although I can’t speak to what this person experienced as I was not there, I can speak from my own experiences over the last couple of years. I do want to say when something happens to make anyone feel uncomfortable or less than all they are, that is terrible. I don’t discredit anyone’s feelings… but do question their perception of what happened.
I first went to Legends out of convenience of location… passing down Fairfax. I’m white, gay and middle aged… certainly don’t fit some stereotypical demographic of what might be perceived as their client base. I don’t pick businesses, service professionals or friends based on demographics. Like I said I went there first because of location… I have kept going back all this time because of the quality of the haircuts I get from Tyhree. They are the best I have gotten in 15 – 20 years. No joke. Next, if I felt for one second I was not welcome, judged, or disapproved of I would take my money elsewhere. (I will add… I am pretty sensitive to negative energy along these lines having grown up in a small, repressive, southern town… and having had plenty of slurs hurled at me, written on my car and worse). NEVER have I felt anything but welcomed, a great vibe and have become what I consider friends with Tyhree. I personally know he has an openly gay brother and to top that I found out the shop owner was raised by a gay uncle. So again not to discount one’s feelings… but to double check their perception. I can’t believe, based on my experiences over time, that the instance mentioned in that review originated from this shop. MOST IMPORTANTLY… GREAT HAIRCUTS TYHREE!!! THANKS.

I LOVE this place & have been coming here for years. Goose/​owner is my barber, but Q & AL are both great as well. With such an eclectic group of diverse barbers, I’ve never felt uncomfortable and/​or disrespected at all. Certainly NOT a Homophobic vibe here (as previously mentioned) I would suggest you book ahead, as this place quickly fills up. Lots of unassuming celebs, from actors to hip hop artist frequent this spot, so if that’s your thing you’ll be pleasantly surprised. BOOK NOW

Finally found an amazing and consistent barber in LA! Tyree is amazing and will continue to come back!

This is the shop to go for the best cut in LA! To the two negative reviews I just read, I have to TOTALLY disagree!!! I am a gay man and I have never been disrespected any time I have been there. I am always welcome as well as are the many other gay people that I see go there to get their cut! They are not homophobic by any means! Please don’t let those two negative reviews keep you from going. You will not be disappointed with whatever cut/​fade/​style you are looking to get!!! I currently live in Atlanta, but just about every time I make it back to LA I have to go see Quan to hook my head up!

I’ve been a consistent customer of the shop for about a year now. Great atmosphere, located right in the fairfax district. I’ve gotten my haircut by a few barbers in the shop, but I specifically go to JJ now. She is an amazing barber and takes her time. I would recommend making an appointment because they tend to be pretty busy but Ik they accept walk in. Also, there is a parking lot about 3 doors down that you can pay like 5 to park in if there’s no street parking in front.

I have been going to Legends faithfully for over the past 3 years now. As an openly gay male I must say that my barber Tyrhee, the owner Goose, as well as the other staff have embraced the LGBT community with grace and dignity. This is a barbershop that is surrounded and represented by diversity. This is one of the best and interactive barbershops that I have ever been to and will continue to go to. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for an amazing haircut at a reasonable price by amazing staff. Legends will have you leaving the chair feeling like a brand new person. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

I just read a review from Thea N. Not only do I not agree with her, I know for a fact that Legends Barbershop is NOT homophobic. If what she says happened is true, she posted her review under the WRONG barbershop. My fiancé actually works there and we are a lesbian couple, a lot of the customers of Legends are among the LBGT community. There have also been plenty of events held at Legends that have been focused around someone of the LGBT community. That review that was left was completely a lie and it needs to be removed. In the future, if there is a so-​called «bad experience», Goose the shop owner is always available and he will go above and beyond to make things right. Some people are just too post happy

I’m a faithful client of Goose the Barber/​Legends the Barbershop. I am also openly gay. Goose nor the employees have ever made me feel uncomfortable about being gay. In fact, Goose and staff have always supported the GLBT population (clients and staffs). I recommend this shop for anyone who wants a fantastic haircut and a great experience.

Ed is the REAL MVP at Legends Barbershop!!!
My life was at its lowest point before I finally found Ed. I had gone through bad haircut after bad haircut, which put me in a very dark place. I was about to give up all hope until I luckily stumbled upon the Legends Barbershop website.
I knew that if there was any miracle out there, that I would probably find it at Legends. I called immediately and was able to book an appointment with Ed. I thought that no one would be able ro save my hair style, but like how Moses was delivered to free the slaves from Egypt, a higher being sent me Ed. Ed liberated me from the bad haircut cycle, giving me a fresh new look that me feel joy all over again.
My confidence was back and my swagger was at 100. Girls that were 10s started hitting on me, I started making more money, and I even gained more muscle mass. Ed not only is a great barber, but he also is great to talk to about life, etc.
He will always put a smile on your face and things into perspective. The real barbers are in the back of the shop, in what I like to call the «VIP» area. That is where you will find the real OGs chilling.
Take my word for it, go see Ed or else you’ll be living in regret & find yourself years later saying «what if I went to see Ed, would things be better now?» Yes, they will because Ed is a master barber.

I’ve been going to Legends for a few months and have to say that Darren is incredibly talented. I brought in a photo of a style that I saw on TV and he was able to execute the exact same look on me. He’s very knowledgeable and will explain what products will look the best on your hair. The fine details are very important to him, so you’ll leave with a style that you’ll be thrilled about.

This is my 4^th time at Legends since I started coming here 6 weeks ago. Before them I wasn’t even a weekly cut dude like that. Now, it’s a Sunday and I just got cut… fresh off the plane from NY. Let that sink in…
The first time I came, I made an online appointment with Goose (that alone is worthy of another star). I arrived and he walked me to the back to meet Edward. I didn’t know if it was the starter guy room or VIP room. Now, I don’t know what they call it, but it’s the VIP room for me. Edward is a hair ARTIST. This is not his job, it’s his CRAFT. Each time he’s cut me it’s been better and with more precision than the last (keep in mind the first cut was one of THE BEST I’ve gotten in LA and it was a new cut for me). He takes pride in what he does… cut, shave, razor line… it’s old school quality barbering.
When I first heard about Legends I thought it was all hype around 1 or 2 guys but I haven’t seen a bad cut come out of that back room, or anywhere else in the shop. And they cut everyone — men, women, kids, black, white, Asian, Latino, Jewish, Armenian, Persian… I’ve seen everybody come through there in my 4 visits.
They definitely have me as a client. I always see people standing in line for Supreme next door but if they knew what was going on at Legends, they’d be in line like that to get in there.

Being new to a state always brings up frustrations, having to find a good place for a haircut is difficult, especially since my fiancé has had the same
Barber for years! We stumbled upon this awesome place and couldn’t be happier! LAs best and most talented are located here! Stop by and give them a try you won’t be disappointed!

Moved here two years ago from Chicago and i love this barbershop. My barber JJ is a dope barber and she shows me so much love. Great family atmosphere filled with dope barbers!

I was a walk in about a month ago and came to Iman, great great great barber. My cut was very clean. And it’s surprising because usually when u go to a new barber they don’t know how to cut your hair the way u want it. But I just told him exactly what I wanted and he executed perfectly. I most definitely recommend Iman. Real nice dude too.

I have been fairly happy with my cuts from Legends so far (been going for the past 6 months or so), but what I got this weekend was easily the best haircut I’ve ever had. JOE took things to the next level! He’s cool, has a good eye and most important listened to what I wanted. So many times barbers made decisions for you, but he really takes the time to pay attention and cut your hair exactly how you want it. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and he’s made me a customer for life. Thank you.
Bonus points for JOE because as soon as I wanted in the door, wifey immediately said this is the best she has ever seen my hair look. Wish I could give 100 stars!

I had the pleasure of getting a haircut by the owner Mr. Goose. I made an appointment ahead of time and was seen on time. The atmosphere felt like an up scale lounge with current hiphop as the soundtrack. If you come early for your appointment I’d recommend taking the massage chair for a test drive.
I let Goose do what he saw fit for my haircut and I must admit I felt like I step of a GQ magazine when I stepped out. Positive vibes all around. I finally out a dope barber in LA.

Amazing barber shop!!! My barber John (@barberjalexander on IG) is the best, but I’ve been going there for a year and haven’t seen one person leave with a less than amazing cut. These are professional barbers with loyal clients like me that come on a weekly basis, so do yourself a favor and make an appointment unless you intend to wait. The atmosphere and location make the shop a place you look forward to going to, instead of another errand to get done. Took me a while to write this review because I’m selfish and didn’t want you all flooding the shop and making it hard for me to get a appointment. But, I must give credit where it’s due, and John promised to never give away my spot. You wont disappointed.

My boyfriend went in for dread locks and said the pricing was the best pricing He could find for the best quality job
The atmosphere was very modern and electrifying
And now they have a life time customer

Miss Eran cut my hair and the experience was awesome and I promised to write a review a long time ago and didn’t come back (due to the fact I’m going bald lol).
I wish I had hair left, I would be a weekly customer.
I do however still have a beard so I might come back in for special occasions anyways she’s great and a damn good barber who actually listened to what I wanted, she was attentive and didn’t stop to answer her cellphone or take a smoke break in the middle of my haircut. Make sure to make an appointment and tip her well.
