Coronado’s Barbering Parlor

This is an honest 4 star shop. Jeff and Tony are great guys, and give solid cuts. Also they are the kind of guys who remember their customers very quickly, and that adds big points. They lack slightly on the finishing touches, but not completely. I’m dropping them to 3 stars because they are far to busy not to take appointments. Wait times can hit 3 or 4 hours, and sometimes they arrive late to work. Another concern is hours. They really do keep bankers hours. They only work Saturday, and I’ve arrived before they even opened and had to wait 3 hours (crazy). At the end of they day I would definitely give them a thumbs up, but I would advise non-​current customers to find a different shop unless you have lots of free time to hang around the shop waiting. Just a quick tip, bump the price $ 5 and take appointments, or at least let people put their name on a list and leave when the wait is 2 hours or more.

I’ve only been here once. They are very close to where I am now living, so it was convenient. Also, when I arrived (calling first) there wasn’t any wait. Your mileage may vary on that, of course. They don’t take appointments. There isn’t any AC, the sun was beating on the window when I was there in the afternoon and it got hot underneath the barber’s apron. Not super comfortable. Other places at the same price point have AC. Not a deal breaker. I got a very decent haircut. Not amazing, but certainly good enough. Competent, generic. The young barber said that he would cut my eyebrow and ear hair (s) but forgot to do so. I asked him after he said we were done and he did it, no problem. I also had to ask for a razor clean up of my neck and sideburns. I was told it is by request only. No hot shaving cream (the best part!) but it was done without any incident. So that was fine. Why only 3 starts then? Especially for a very reasonably priced cut ($ 15) — well, a couple of things. While I was there, the barber next to me (the owner) was having a very animated, extended Jesus conversation with his customer. I heard that «homosexuals are getting out of hand» as well as women and drugs. Not exactly sure what that meant, didn’t like the sound of it. Lots of other, to me, quite fundamentalist, Christian chat, not just with that particular customer but across the barber shop too. Not really my thing. Also, I have a hearing disorder — loud noises, especially near my ears are quite painful. I often have to leave restaurants because of this. At one point my barber was talking to a customer sitting across the room, in a fairly loud, powerful voice, but while standing very close to my right ear. It was painful and I asked him to hold his voice down. This did not seem to be understood and led to my barber asking his brother about it, for clarification. I was told that «things» (me) were going to be calm in the shop so the POLICE wouldn’t be called! Excuse me??? I asked in a reasonable fashion, in a polite manner and explained that I have a hearing disorder. It was extremely unpleasant and awkward! I thought about just walking out. To his credit the barber stopped using the hair dryer (as I asked) and was more quiet. So, I got a decent haircut at a decent price, but I’m not really sure if I will go back. There are quite a few other barbershops in the area to try — Praise the Lord! ;))

This place has all the love, respect, and only good things for you. Tony and his brother Jeff are amazing folks. I feel like a better man when I leave. Freshass cut and am uplifting of the heart. Salute.

If there is one thing to describe Tony, it’s FIERY and PASSIONATE. He really cares about his homies and like others have said, wants to build a personal relationship with his customers. He truly cares about the wellbeing of his customers and wants the best for them. Geoffrey is an aspiring barber and already has good knowledge and skill. I wish him the best of luck as he finishes up barber school. Keep it up guys! Would definitely support a mom and pop shop over any chain or mainstream place any day.

This is the spot to go. It’s busy there, your best bet is to go mid week and get there 20 min early. Tony and Jeffery never disappoint everyone I know that has a fade or taper goes here. Highly recommended!

Family run, amazing cuts, great company. Always a good laugh when I go. Love these guys and my girlfriend has commented over and over that my hair cuts have never looked so good! Expect to wait, there are no appointments and they are very popular but well worth waiting!

There is no sign inside or outside that says that they only accept cash. How is any new customer supposed to know that?
The man said to go use the ATM at the liquor store next door. Anyone with a brain knows that most banks charge $ 4 on top of the $ 2 ATM fee. No thanks. I went somewhere else to get my hair cut.
It’s 2015. Get with the times and accept all tender or inform people before they step foot in the door.

This is my go to barbershop! Tony and now his younger brother Geoffrey are usually the ones who cut my hair. There is also another gentleman named Manny who’s cliental comprise of older gentleman or as I like called them silver foxes!
Usually there is wait for Tony who is the owner and most sought out barber there, but Geoffrey who’s only 20 yrs old, did a great job cutting my hair and is most likely gonna succeed his brother Tony. But what keeps me coming here is not the price ($ 15) or the cuts, but its the customer service/​friendliness that Tony provides the second I walk in. He is very respectful and he takes time to get to know you and wants to give you not only the best haircut, but your friendship is most important to him.
With that said this place is a word of mouth spread joint, so if you are in the area stop by and give him a shot.
OH YEA ITS CASH ONLY!

Tony, Manny, and now Tony’s brother, Geoffrey are great guys. This barber shop is one of the things that I Love about my neighborhood. A little BS with a trim and barbers who are proud if what they do. If you’re in a hurry, go to Supercuts, but if you want to enjoy a comfortable chair with people who truly appreciate your business, go see these guys. Closed Mondays and for lunch.

Fantastic experience, superb barbers… Tony and his brother are the only two people I feel have ever given me a flawless haircut. Thus the only two people I have cut my hair, from now on! ** Highly recommended**, yet I’d almost be tempted to dis them on here in hopes of shorter wait times! (only common complaint). J/​k.
Keep up the great work guys!

Tony is an excellent barber. I was looking for a new place and a friend recommended me to him. He always gives excellent haircuts and makes sure they’re consistent. He’s very popular so the wait is sometimes a bit long, but it is definitely worth it. Highly recommend him!

I live in San Diego and I often delay getting a haircut just so I can go to Coronado’s. Tony always gives a clean cut with great attention to detail. He’s a hard working man and is always in a great mood. Highly recommended!!!

Came here for first time as walkin and it was great choice. Tony is excellent, he is very detailed cut my hair just like I like it. He has great customer skills and makes you feel welcomed. 15 dollars is well worth it and now I found a new spot for my cuts. Get here early other wise you will wait as I did but it was worth it.

I moved to Torrance 6 months ago and have been dying to find a good barber. Tony is a good, hardworking guy who you can tell wants the best for his customers. This place gets really busy quickly so I suggest if you come on your lunch break that you bring lunch with you. Tony works as fast as he can but he has a lot of people to get to and he honestly couldn’t work any faster.
He gave me the exact haircut that I wanted because he listens to his customers. He also recommended a good place for lunch called Chicken Maison. Thanks Tony and best of luck!

Tony is hands down one of the best barbers in the South Bay. Been trying out different barbers, being that I live in west LA but I don’t mind the commute because he does such a great job. I even bring my 5 year old son and he is patient with him not keeping still. I recomend him to everyone.

I grew my first beard and needed some help getting it trimmed up properly. Tony did a shave and gave some pointers on how to keep it looking good. I made a couple mistakes and he nicely explained how to do it better.
All nice guys in the shop very professional not much waiting and in and out quickly.
I’m not sure why there are not more reviews for them its a great old fashioned shop with great prices.
See you Wednesday Tony.

After paying around $ 40 at salons just to get my hair TRIMMED Coronado’s was basically the answer to my prayers. Tony and Heeber are awesome guys who never forget a face or a name. The chairs are old school and comfortable and the vibe is so friendly and welcoming that I’m ashamed to admit I just discovered them a couple months ago. I wish I would have gone here from the start! Tony trims my hair like a pro, just how I like it, and is consistent every time. Now I get a nice shave and an exceptional haircut for LESS than a hair trimming alone at a salon! Switching to Coronado’s was one of the best decisions I ever made. I just wish they were open later!

I love this place to death. When I can actually get there. The hours make it impossible for me. Sun /​Monday are my days off and I work 9 to 6.
If you can actually make it here when its open, they’re the best in the south bay. For me? I’ve sat in the parking lot 3 times looking at a closed shop in the past week. Gotta find a new spot.

I’ve been following Tony the owner of Coronado’s for about 13 years… The Reason? The man has a gift. Period! And his shop exemplifies that gift, everyone there is very professional, courteous, and they always keep the place spotless! So if you want the best haircut you have ever had, in an environment that is professional yet makes you feel like you’re hanging out with your family go to Coronado’s!!!

Best Barber Shop EVER!
I will put it like this. If I was rich and didn’t live in the area, I would fly in on my personal jet or helicopter to get to this joint. The owner Tony and his brother, along with Manny each make you feel like a million bucks. The place has a very old school, Italian, mafioso type vibe goin’ on. Its very welcoming and everyone is so polite and nice. You instantly feel like family and that’s just how these guys like it!
To be honest, I never went to a barber since I «simply shave my head». However ever since meeting these guys, I cant wait to go back. For me its MY 20 Minutes of pampering! Its not just a hair-​cut! My ears, eyebrows, nose hairs… everything is taken’ care of and when I go home my lady can’t keep her hands off me. I swear these guys make you look and smell amazing!
I’ve never once had a nick, scrach, tug, pull or 1 hair out of place the next day. Even with a simple shaved head, these guys do their best and with that they deserve the best review I could ever give on Unilocal!
This is THE spot for all ages! Young to old, these guys do it big and make you feel like a million bucks.
