Eddie’s Barbershop

So, I’m not sure why I’ve been frequenting this place for the past few months. Probably the location. But I will NEVER go back. This is a very poorly run business. First, I just waited over an hour and half to get a haircut and had to walk out empty handed. The front desk people are so unprofessional. They were screaming about who is going to get new towels and no ever apologized to me about the wait. The only person who ever asked me if there was a problem… the guy flipping the sign out front. Seriously, avoid this place at all costs if you want any semblance of a good experience. There are many better options in the area!

This place sucks. Hubby once showed up for a cut 30 min after posted opening time and the doors were locked. They also don’t honor Appts (once made him an appt at 2pm and he didn’t get a cut at all after waiting until 3:30). What’s the point of offering Appts if you don’t actually pay any attention to them? I think it’s so they can charge more than some crappy chain like supercuts, but the hair styling and barbering is of equal crappy quality. Their customer service is awful and the employees look and act like they have no idea what’s going on. We gave it a shot because it’s convenient and supposedly fast and near our place, but would rather drive much farther and pay more to never have to deal with them again.

This place does not know how to cut a regular fade for charging me 26.00 $ the fade i requested was not worth the cut. I had to go to work right after my cut and was left with cuts all over my neck and to top it off she didnt even use a blade it was done with a machine. (My guess the machine was dirty) I would have given this place 2 stars but because jason reimbursed me without a problem they get 3 stars. Never going here again

I don’t ever do Unilocal reviews but I think my experience here is important for people to know. I’ve been going to this barber on and off when I’m home for vacation between semesters for about 6 – 8 months now. They used to have a guy named Rafael who was the man! He gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had. I would always call and make sure he was there before I would go in. As of the last three times I’ve gone he hasn’t been there, and I was told he quit. Ever since then my haircuts from this place have been worse and worse. The most recent time was awful. This lady «Jax» cut my hair terribly and was definitely high as a kite while doing it… It took forever and she didn’t take into consideration anything I was telling her. It was a major let down and I was super bummed. I’ll definitely be taking my business elsewhere…

After a bad experience, at Weho on Friday evening I drove by this location the following Saturday morning and there was no one in there. Got a good cut from this guy. Was a bit too chatty for my liking, but nice enough and did a good job.
Five weeks later (today) I thought I would try my luck again. I show up at 10:00 am music blaring and once again no one in there. «Jackpot,» I say to myself. After standing at the desk for about 30 seconds, i finally shout hello over the music startling the only girl in the place. I sarcastically say, «turn that music down.» Which she did. I was going to warn her about the dangers of being alone and unaware of what’s going on around her, but figured, meh.
I tell her I want a haircut and she looks at the computer screen for a few seconds looks up and around the empty shop and says, «well, we were supposed to have someone in at 9:00, but he never showed. I should have someone coming in about 15 minutes if you want to wait.»
I thanked her, but declined the offer. Judging from my previous experience (read my Weho review) I just imagined some showing up in 20 or 25 minutes, not the said 15 minutes. Upon arrival, she would have to set her stuff down, grab a coffee, get set up, etc. etc. which would last at least another 10 minutes. In all this time, I could have been in and out, so I figured it best to not even put myself thru this and press on.
It’s funny, this place was open at 9:00, but wouldn’t be able to provide ANY service til 10:30. That’s odd to me. No wonder it was empty at 10:00 am on Saturday morning.
So, I have no complaints about the haircuts, and from the reviews not many do. It’s just challenging to actually get a haircut at the barbershop.

Rita doesn’t even deserve this one star. If there was an option for zero stars this would be it… She completely f’d up my boyfriends beard, she made it patchy and fucked up the shape of his beard. My boyfriend gave her a reference picture and I think she might be BLIND because she destroyed his beard that he has been growing for MONTHS. He wanted the shape of the beard to elongate his face and instead she made it round! ZERO STARS! she not only fucked up his whole day but now it’s gonna take months to grow it all out so he can get a decent shape back. Would not recommend this place at all. YOUVE BEEN WARN D. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Let me start off by saying the manager was a cool guy. This review is for Rita only. If I could give zero stars I would. NEVER AGAIN!!! Don’t waste you’re money here. I went in for a beard trim after growing it out for months and RITA completely butchered it. Patchy, uneven, and not at all what I asked for. Even with a reference picture. A 3 year old could have done a better job with their eyes closed. I immediately went home to fix it the best I could. The lines are off and I have to completely start over. Extremely disappointed. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

This barbershop is shockingly superior to any other that I have visited. They are wildly accommodating thanks in part to the receptionist who serves more like a quarterback. Yes the hours are excellent, but that is not what makes this barbershop so much more.
In a word, what makes Eddie’s great is Rita. She provided me with greatest service I have ever had. I sat down and told her to cut it however she wanted. And she wanted to cut it flawlessly. God Bless Rita!

Clean, professional, affordable and the stylist, Rita that did my haircut took such care and craftsmanship in doing my hair. Will definitely become my new spot while I’m living in SM.

I have been to Eddie’s several times now and have always received an excellent haircut. The staff are very polite, and even offered my dog water on a hot day. I usually go with my son who has autism. Everyone consistently shows patience and sensitivity as he requires a lot of interaction.
On my last visit Rita gave both of us haircuts and did an excellent job. I highly recommend this shop.

Great spot, really glad I stopped by. Rita gave me great cut! I’ll definitely be back.

We stopped in for a back to school haircut. The employees were sitting on the floor & eating when we arrived. Since the shop wasn’t busy, I guess that was okay. But, on the floor? My 15 year old sat to have his haircut & immediately it was just clippers without care to the back of his head. He has indents and uneven bumps all over his head. I stepped in & had to tell her not to cut anymore. As he’s 15 (& couldn’t see the back of his head) he didn’t understand my frustration & told her to keep going. She was more attentive after I intervened. However, when I asked her to fix the bumps, she looked at me as if she didn’t know what I was talking about. To add insult to injury, the cost of this low quality haircut was more than supercuts! $ 30+ dollars
Save your money. Go to real barbers who charge $ 20 for detail and care or at the very least supercuts or fantastic Sam’s.

Raphael gave me a cut, very friendly and funny guy. The place is larger clean and interesting décor. Check it out!

Rita is Great at what she does, she has great shaving skills and makes you feel comfortable on the chair! Five Stars for her !!!

Raphael is seriously one of the best. I’ve spent $$$ on haircuts before working in «the industry» and I can tell you that he does a better job than most. Great attention to detail, and he won’t do anything that won’t look good.
Plus, he’s a great guy to boot. If you’re on the westside, this is the place, Raphael is your guy.

Supercuts — NO Fantastic Sam’s — NO Floyd’s 99 — NOPE. Sooo happy to have found Rita at Eddie’s Barbershop. Haircut woes are over! Love it and the attention to detail including a razor neck shave. All at a great price

Stumbled on eddies barbershop while passing by. This place is great. The barber was friendly and gave me an excellent haircut. It doesn’t hurt that the shop was nice and clean and they had a TV you can watch if you need to wait.

Damn, this place was AMAZING! Lucas gave me the best haircut ever, and I only gave him a few, vague descriptions.
Very quick haircut, but still carefully crafted to perfection. I’m excited to go back!

Just had a few minutes to get a haircut. Walked in and staff was friendly. Took me right away. Walked out with a great haircut thanks to Marissa.
Welcome to the neighborhood.

You know the name, and the place to get a great haircut now located in Santa Monica.
Twelve chairs are available by appointment or walk in. You’re always welcomed warmly upon entering and the openness of the shop gives is great without the claustrophobia you can get in other shops.

Great haircuts and great attention to detail.
