Supercuts

I have long thick hair with layers and come in for a trim every few months. I’ve had stylists take trims too far and even my layers out or cut my edges too bluntly making look like my mom cut it for my kinder picture. I’ve been to this location a couple times now and was very pleased with my cut. The first time Alfredo did my hair. This guy belongs somewhere high end for sure. He has amazing skill and attention to details. You can tell he is passionate about doing hair. He doesn’t belong in a chain that’s for sure. Maria did it this time and did an awesome job. My hair just felt awesome! This is my go to place.

Went last night to take my long hair to a bob and cannot be happier with the results! Monica did a great job with the cut (bangs included) and the color turned out great as well. Always have a good experience here.

I gave two stars because I have gone to this location several times for haircuts and everything was great! Then went in once for highlights and it was great, then went a second time for highlights and not so great. the lady who did my hair was in a hurry and very slopping and afterwards I thought everything was great until my hair dried and I saw lines going side (ways front to back and ear to ear) and I called to ask what to do they told me to come in. They took me in right away and since it was so bleached they had to dye all my hair one color which was aweful. I kept trying to like it and kept trying but it wasn’t even blond it was like stawberry, redish, orange and kind of reminded me of a at home color treatment when someone’s hair is black and they try to go blonde. The lady told me that it would lighten up after my scalp lightened since was irritated from the color. It didn’t happen…
I was and am very un happy and will NEVER go back! Waste of money and literally only went there because its close to my place and «who messes up highlights»? In and in all the years of getting my hair done that is pretty dang basic!

Went for a much needed cut today and had wonderful service. Yoko gave me some wonderful tips how to save my hair from getting so damaged. I really appreciate the guidance. The haircut looks great and she took off just enough to save my hair, but not too much to feel like a huge loss. I really appreciate her work and advice and will go back. My boyfriend also got his hair cut today and it looks amazing. Both of us loved our cuts. Thanks Supercuts!

Please see updated review:
UPDATED: I was contacted by the owner and offered free haircuts and an apology. My children had the haircuts yesterday. The same receptionist was there and she was very, very pleasant. We appreciate the apology and efforts made by the owners.
Original Review:
If I could leave zero stars I would. The absolute worst experience ever. I called ahead for a wait estimate and was told 30 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes later with my 2 boys. 50 minutes later we were still waiting. I asked for an estimate and was told 10 minutes. 20 minutes and no apology later I was told 15 more minutes. This place is horrible. If I could have walked out without paying I would have. I seriously cannot begin to expound upon how many ways I plan to express my opinion about how incredibly crappy my experience was and how many people I plan on telling. I will never, ever go back. Ever. Please save your time and your money and go somewhere else.

PJ’s 3-​Stop Guide to Meeting Single Guys in Culver City:
3) Tender Greens (on a Saturday morning to find health conscious locals)
2) Panda Express (on a Friday night to find dudes who can’t cook or don’t know that Unilocal will find them better Chinese food in LA)
1) Supercuts (on any weeknight during rush hour to find a guy who’s employed. This is located steps away from the Panda Express, so… jackpot)
Yes, forget hitting up the hip hotspots and watering holes around downtown Culver, these 3 stops will have you single ladies covered, as I realized tonight.
My regular salon up the street had closed early, so I walked into Supercuts to get an inexpensive haircut. During the 30 minutes I waited, reasonably attractive guys were coming in and out. Many had called in advance to take advantage of Supercuts’ check-​in system where you can get a spot in line without having to be physically in the salon. I didn’t know that’s the drill at Supercuts, but all these dudes were pros and knew how the system worked. They do not take regular appointments. Luckily, after she realized how long I was waiting while all these dudes were systematically filing in, the lady at the counter squeezed me into the lineup so I didn’t have to wait even longer.
Supercuts is open until 9pm on weekdays (extremely convenient) and has a flat haircut rate which varies by salon. This is great because then there are no hidden charges, such as for long hair or if you ask for a few layers in your cut. At this location the basic cut with no shampoo was $ 21.95, and with a shampoo would be four dollars more.
My cut turned out decent except the bang trim. I requested 1.5 blunt inches off the bottom and light feathering in the front, and my stylist did a good job with that. My bangs looked crooked from the first go, but the stylist showed me the hair was actually straight and that it only looked crooked because of my cowlick and partially wet hair. She fixed it a bit more and it still looked off but I didn’t want to mess with it more. When I got home and it dried it still looked crooked. Bangs** are hard to do, I get it, so if you have a style without them then you would probably have no complaints here… and how many guys do you know who wear bangs?
** Bangs are like moustaches for a woman’s forehead

Worst experience ever in my life the barber miss the number I said to use, never ever goto this shop

Got a great haircut at a great price. No hassle and a short 10 min wait as a walk-​in. I have waited longer in the past, but I never call ahead so that is on me :)
Anna did a great job and was super nice. She was quick as well and really knew her stuff. I have had Yoko cut my hair in the past and she was great as well, but she has lots of reviews here, but I did not see a review that mentioned Anna, so I thought I would put in a good word for her.

You’ll get an okay cut here every time but the whole thing is a bit impersonal. For some reason this is the only Supercuts in the west LA area that doesn’t allow for check-​ins from the Supercuts app.

Yoko is the best, she knows what is up!

Maria is awesome! I was a little hesitant on going to Supercuts as I have baby fine hair that seems to challenge even the most seasoned hairdressers but I didn’t have much of a choice that day… couldn’t get in with my regular and I had a photoshoot later so I had to go. I’m so glad I got Maria!!!
Been to her twice since then, she gave me such a great cut that now she’s trusted to do my highlights :)

I went in for a cut this morning had a new stylist I hadn’t seen before young long dark hair extremely slim guy who did a great cut for me. I am only sorry I did not get his name so I could post it here. Very nice, pleasant to chat with did a great job.

Haircut is ok, but its way overpriced for what you get. I started going to a place close by that gives me a better haircut, shaves the back of my neck with a razor, and gives me a 1 – 2 min massage for a couple bucks more.
The price of supercuts has skyrocketed the past few years much more than it should.

Waited over an hour for a haircut on a Thursday afternoon. The receptionist could have been more pleasant. She let her frustration show when customers in person or over phone were upset with the wait time. They definitely needed another stylist to help with the flow.

If you don’t need a fancy haircut, this is a great spot. Consistent and stable, never had a bad cut.
Highly recommend Alfredo if you’re male. He’s been cutting my hair for the last year or so and is the best. I’d follow Alfredo wherever he went.
Michael is also good as well.

Supercuts. I know, I know. Was in Culver city for old friends reunion and as we had an hour before meet my man suggested he could do with a trim Fancifully I went for one too, maybe too keep him company. Actually the hairdresser was nice, polite and knew what she was doing. So was his by all accounts. Layered his hair too as well as a quick trim and sideburns. Unfortunately it was the service from the «host» that let things down and my review. Not polite, attitude, almost abrasive strange as she was an older lady. Next day. Bank account had been charged the amount twice ! When I called they refused to acknowledge their mistake and were rude about it. Had to call bank who verified Supercut had indeed charged twice. So be warned !!! …Supercuts…

I feel awful that I can’t remember the name of the nice lady who helped me… she has dye in her hair though!
I was a big fan of the wait but it’s inevitable. If you call in for an appointment, you can skip the wait. So I won’t take away a star for that, what do I expect for surprise visit?
The price is a bit high but that’s LA for you. Over all, I asked that my hair be thinned a little and shortened about half an inch. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve given this direction to hair salons and came out look like one inch has been lost!
In the end, she handled it very well. We made small talk and the experience overall was very laid back. She did very well and it ended exactly the way I wanted – almost identical to when we first started but shorter and less voluminous. Can’t take stars away from anything!!!

I’ve have been here on multiple occasions. I have had Oko, Alfredo and then one other person. Both Oko and Alfredo did a Great job! The other individual hadn’t been cutting hair very long and I wasn’t super pleased… BUT it’s hair and it grows back. This place does get a lot of crap, but for the price you pay, I can’t complain. The parking lot is a disaster so avoid it during rush hour. Definitely recommend Oko and Alfredo.

I wouldn’t say this branch of Supercuts is neither bad nor excellent. I’ve been coming to this one for the past 3 years since I moved here, and if I had to rate my haircuts, I’d say they vary between 3 and 4 stars (then again, I ‘m a guy and I don’t need anything… complicated).
What I DO wish to say after today’s visit, is that I really wish all hairstylists (at this branch and in existence) would realize that the experience of sitting in a chair for 15 – 20 minutes and being comfortable has everything to do with whether I will continue to come back or not.
I came in for a haircut today for a simple, once-​a-​month cut. So, I tell her what kind of cut I want, and she gets it immediately. Great! However, while she’s cutting, she’s not realizing that my hair bits are continually falling and covering my face and she’s not cleaning it off! Yes, I was uncomfortable– it was as if she had never experienced hair falling on her face before, and not being able to brush it off. I didn’t say anything because I wanted to see how far this would go before she realized my discomfort. It got so bad, that I wasn’t even able to keep my eyes open. When I did manage a peep, I got to see in the mirror, that my entire face was covered with bits of hair… GAH!
Noone who gets paid to cut hair should ever be trained to NOT cut hair before first spritzing it with water. It’s just neater, feels better to the «victim» and just keeps the experience from turning into a Guantanamo torture session.
Oh, I should probably mention the results. The cut looks good, but by the end of it, I had 15 minute’s-worth of cut hair all over my face, before she finally briefly blew it off with a hair dryer… not a wet towel. Man, please give this dog a bone!
Thanks for reading, I’m going to go get a shower now.

Terrible. We walked in to get a haircut for my boyfriend while he had a few hours before class. He wanted to get cleaned up to go out tonight for the holiday. My boyfriend specifically asked for a «Mohawk» to the «stylist». First word out of his mouth.
Let me preface this with saying he’s had the same fade-​up fauxhawk haircut for a year, which he’s gotten trimmed up at 3 or 4 shops across the US (as we travel a lot) and has never had a problem with a stylist understanding what that is. I guess it was just our lucky day. Or perhaps a Halloween prank. Or maybe just an incredibly unskilled and lazy «stylist».
Either way, first thing she does is buzz off all the growth 3″+! in a stripe down the middle of his head. He couldn’t believe it. She then continues to buzz his entire head, no fade at all, and doesn’t even fade into his beard or trim his hairline around his face.
The cut is now uneven, the OPPOSITE of what we asked for, and when we inquired at the register about a possible discount or an opportunity in the future to have it fixed when it grew in a bit, the «stylist» began aggressively arguing her case, which simply added attitude and insult to injury. She was truly unpleasant, and the thing we keep repeating to ourselves is– who works at a hair salon and doesn’t know what a mohawk is?
The manager was less than helpful, saying maybe next time he should bring in a picture. But– again– who hires someone at a HAIR SALON that doesn’t know what a mohawk is?
If we wanted a terrible buzz cut, we would have done it at home ourselves and saved the $ 20. TWENTY DOLLARS FOR A BAD BUZZCUT AND BAD SERVICE. Ugh. That’s what we get for choosing «Supercuts.» Never Again!
