Park Plaza Barber Shop

Best barber shop i have ever been to. These guys are the best. They usually have 8 barbers available all the time. I have gotten a haircut with each one of them. And have never had a complaint. They follow directions well. They also don’t talk to you. Which I like. I hate small convo. I hate haircuts the quicker I can get out of there the better.
Their prices can’t be beat. I mean $ 12 for a cut is perfect. I know many friends who go to the hip barber shops and pay $ 25 and up. I know that every time I get a cut I will get what I ask for. These dudes are masters of their craft. I highly recommend them.

Great shop, I been looking for a barber shop to do a design for me and I found the right place, Alvaro was my barber, I showed him the design from a picture and I’m happy with the results!!! I’ll be back for sure

This is the Best Dam Barber Shop in all of Los Angeles County and if you don’t think I know what I’m talking about then you don’t know this Professional US Army Pilot. I have been to them all from Fancy schmancy to hole in the walls and I have been coming here since 2005 and the Barber I work with is the best I have known in all my Professional Military career. I am a proud longtime customer who loves to get the best and Tipp my Barber for what he is worth. All the best is found here great cuts, beard work and a fantastic close shave. Keep going where you go and pay high prices for a mediocre experience I’LL STAY RIGHT HERE FOR 10 MORE YEARS. Thanks and all the best.

Not the best haircut ever but the price fits my current budget.

I think this place has a warm friendly vibe. I can tell that the barbers here are passionate about their work, and that they take your hair very seriously. I am happy with my haircut.

After coming here for my regular hair cuts for about 9 months, I figured a review was in order. However, my review isn’t as much based on my personal experience as it is upon my projected experience for anyone who is not me. Allow me to elaborate.
I doubt many women with hair needs as I have will be frequenting this establishment, otherwise, I’d give it a 2 star rating. Let’s get this bit out of the way. I am extremely, unbearably uncomfortable and filled with anxiety each time I visit here, which is likely the cause of my less than adequate frequency of hair maintenance. Any time I step foot in this place, I am stared at like a museum exhibit. Also, when my guy isn’t around and I need to ask a question, nobody ever addresses me or behaves as if I’m alive. I suppose directly acknowledging a female’s presence is considered unlawful in this small world.
HOWEVER, I will say that in other aspects, this is as good as it seems to get for the price point. And with Asian hair that grows like a chia pet, this starving artist can’t afford no $ 30 hair cut every two weeks.
When I do force myself out of my social anxiety enough to ask a question, the people are obliging. Also, Jose has been quite accommodating with my cut over the months and we’ve found a good understanding. And since I’ve learned to come at strategic times to avoid two-​hour long wait times, my hair cut day routine is pretty smooth.
A few tips: when meter parking, just put enough money in for a few minutes. Go inside and get your number and see how long the wait is before coming out as adding more money or going somewhere for an hour or so to wait out the time. Mid-​mornings are best, in the beginning of the week.
As for the actual hair cut itself, I am always quite satisfied and very pleased.
Until I find a friend with magic hair cutting skills, I don’t mind shelling out $ 12 every couple of weeks to make a visit here.

They hire drug addicts to sweep the store (extremely rude ones who get into arguments with the clients), & their employees are rude and disconnected to the customers.

I have a head full of hair and a face full of beard. There are many many barber shops all over town but this one has always been my go to spot. At times there is long waits but there’s more than a good enough reason for that. Since 1929, when the building it’s in first opened, this barber shop began servicing customers and setting up a reputation for itself. The atmosphere is great. It is mostly Hispanic babrbers but patrons of all races and walks of life frequent here. I will gladly recommend a $ 12 haircut from here to anyone.

If you’re black, stay away!
They crazy thing is I’m from Venezuela
And I speak perfect spanish but I pass for African American
But when I walked in they acted as if I was in the wrong place
My brothers, it’s not life and death, it’s just a hair cut.
Assist everyone with open arms and a smile.
I was planning on dropping 20 which is an 8 dollar tip but I ended up leaving 35 minutes in. You ain’t gettin my money racists.

This place rules… always a line, but worth the wait!!! Its 10 to cut 10 to shave!!!

OG barber shop… Any style you want just ask and they will accommodate to your request… everyone is talented here I just tend to go to the first two from the door… Jose and Melvin…

These guys are very talented. The fades, lines and tapers are so clean and it’s for the best price in Mccarthur Park.
I’ve had each guy and they are very consistent in what you want. Quick buzz around, followed by a traditional barber shave to get that perfect edge.
By being one of the few women who gets there hair cut here. This is a great LA gem in my book.
Check these guys out! Shave and a hair cut for $ 12.

Haircuts are pretty good if you get it cut by the right person. I’ve only met one person who speaks English there so be prepared for that.
Wait times can be god awful. Typically you will have to wait at least 30 min to an hour. I’ve also witnessed people coming in and getting a number only to leave and come back with priority after their number has already been called. I’m not trying to pick a fight with my barber, but I feel like they don’t always treat people fairly, especially if you’re not Hispanic. They also do a poor job of maintaining queue order for the people who are present, so if you’re not vigilant the guy at the end of the row will quietly take the first guy who raises his hand and skip right over you instead of announcing «next please». I only go to one guy so I don’t really have this problem but I’ve seen it happen on numerous occasions.
In conclusion, Ive learned to go during super slow times at odd hours so I don’t wait long and I make sure I don’t get skipped over. $ 12 is a good deal but not if you have to spend an hour or more waiting.

These guys know how to cut hair. I was going here for quite some time, but I am on the search for a 5 star barber. Pointers, if you do not speak Spanish, this place may not be right for you. Reasons: When you walk in, on the left hand side you are to take a number. Sometimes people that come in after you are buds with a specific barber, so you might get caught waiting. I can’t say, wait a minute I’m first… So that puts me to the back of the line. I’ve waited an hour, and sometimes I was seated within 10 minutes. Overall, if you are in search for a cheap haircut this place is $ 11 – 12 bucks for a cut. Be prepared for a true hispanic barber shop where the guys know how to do a fade. If you are a Beverly Hills man, don’t walk through those doors.
Parking is metered around the corner. There is plenty at this park except when there’s a movie shoot. Once /​month

$ 12 quality cuts, old school… in fact oldest barber shop in LA, since 1929. Spanish and English spoken. Take a number at the door when you walk in.

Best barber place in town. Cheap and professional. Although no habla english. Just show the picture of what you wanted and they can do it.

Good place for the price but depends on who cuts your hair how good your haircut will turn out. They still clean you up with straight razors for a clean finish, i like that.

As a barber shop in its entirety, Its not that bad.
I give this place 1 star because of the barber in the first chair closest to the window.
‘You gotta be kidding me’, is exactly what I said right after I got my cut.
THIS GUY CANT CUT HAIR FOR S***!, dont trust this guy with your hair.
Not only did he mess up my hair, I have to tell him how to cut hair. so ridiculous.
Il give this place more stars once they fire this guy.

Don’t forget to grab a number when you first walk in. These people are fast! Good cut amazing price and the radio was jammin!

Time to brush up on my Espanol! Clientele and Barbers are all Latino. I was the only non-​Latino guy at this place. It’s definitely got a nice barber’s feel to it. Unfortunately, I was unable to talk to my Barber since instead of Spanish I chose to learn Japanese in high school…
Found this little gem on Unilocal and I was a bit skeptical at first but Im’ not gonna lie these dudes know how to give a great hair cut. It’s definitely got a barber shop feel to it.
Location: Right next to Macarthur park
Price: 10 bucks for a great haircut (CASH ONLY)
Parking: On the street. Metered
*The Barber’s English is very limited. Be prepared to use Hand Signals or show them pictures of what you want unless you speak Spanish or can have someone translate.
**The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that I specifically told the Barber to fix up my sideburns but not THIN them out. I ended looking like a LATIN Sensation or one of those brothers from another mother who likes to THIN out their facial hair…
**Overall I’d come back here again… I’ll just be sure to bring an EXACT photo of what I want.
Adiós Amigo!
