Belmont Shore Barber

The super sweet lady Jennifer L is referring to must be Lupe. Yes, super sweet lady but does an inadequate haircut. I had a similar experience as below. Instead of just giving me a great haircut, I kept getting, «I can cut more off… do you want more off on this side?». I just want it even. I did ask her to even out the sides since I could see in the mirror that I was lopsided but in the end, after a shower at home my hair is still very uneven with much thicker hair on one side than the other. Sorry, but can’t go back to this place.

Let me premise this with an excellent fade. I’m new to long beach and haven’t been able to find a reputable barbershop. I originally went to the, «barbershop» down the street. If you’re looking for an foo foo fluffy hipster barbershop go to the «vintage» place down the street, mind you they only do appointments… Wow. So I found this place and I had Jade skin razor fade me. The atmosphere was very inviting, and friendly. I was shy about letting a woman fade me, but damn she did an excellent job. She made sure I knew what I wanted and made sure I was happy with the outcome. Excellent job. They made a customer for sure.

Awesome place, the barbers really know how to give haircuts.

My boyfriend got his hair butchered here for about 30 minutes. He normally gets the $ 10 – 12 haircuts from the barber on Junipero, but decided he wanted a «real hair cut.» We came here because Floyd’s was intense and noted the $ 20 price. This always happens of course, the good barber is always too busy and is booked up, thus leaving the walk-​ins with the other barbers available who don’t have consistent clients. I can’t recall her name, and believe me, she was very nice and sweet, but she was not listening and paying attention at all to what my boyfriend wanted. He wanted a trim on the sides and for his longer hair on top to be trimmed. Rather than doing exactly this, she basically gave him the Silverlake haircut and shaved his sides entirely and didn’t bother to trim the top. She «finished» the cut about 5 times and each time would say «Now do you want me to trim the top, I can?» And each time she didn’t bother to get her scissors out but kept shaving his sides! It made no sense. Even both the other barbers had to intervene and critique her because she wasn’t evening giving it a 0 fade. Finally, after the blonde, busy barber told her what to do, it looked way more acceptable than what she thought was «done.» The blonde barber should have intervened and fixed it since she seemed more than capable and had her chair constantly full.
Alas, the shop is quaint and nostalgic, but unless you go with the blonde barber, don’t go to anyone else.

Jared is the man! I’ve been following him as he moves from shop to shop since 2009. Phenomenal Barber and a great guy. I won’t go anywhere else.

Go see Jarrod the barber. Realy good guy. Been doing my hair for a couple of years. He always works hard to ease. He take his time and does a proper cut.

Unfortunately I have to do this. Lupe and the other guy there I am sorry.
I just got the worst haircut EVER by Jade because she was not paying attention and kept telling me details about her love life and how she couldnt keep a man. She kept flirting instead of simply paying attention to my hair and what I wanted. She kept saying it would look better her way and she knows because shes a woman. After what seemed like an eternity in hell I just said «hey thats good thanks I gotta go so thanks and bye.» I gave her a 20 and ran across the street to get my hair fixed. Needless to say that I wont be coming back if this crazy lady is still working there.

They do the deal for me, I was looking for a place that was a barber not just a «stylist» and also for a barber means cutting hair, where every haircut is NOT a buzz cut for ex-​Marines just trying to re-​live the past glory days. They do an excellent job based on your hair, your head and your needs. It is real nice that does not try to fit every hair cut to one of five pictures on a wall, it that is all I need I could go to my uncle he had 5 bowls. Like any barber shop, you do need to be careful about the barber not just the shop, Laura is great and Lupe it top rate (although Laura is still better). Some of the others they have working their I would not trust. I don’t know but I follow the old adage «Don’t trust a barber that wears a hat».

Laura is the best! She has been cutting my hair for about 4 years now. I tried a few other places in the area before she became my regular barber and I have been extremely happy. She is very friendly and courteous to all. This place is very easy to find, it’s right on 2^nd St. next to Panama Joes. Laura always includes a straight edge shave and a shoulder massage to complete the package. Their pricing is very affordable to boot! Her regular days are Mon., Tues., Fri. And Sat.

Absolutely awful. Sloppy work on a basic haircut. I had to try to fix it at home.

Im a member of the military and Mike gives a great mid-​fade, taper, high and tight. The guy knows his way around a razor. Great cuts, great service. Cheap price.

The first barber shop I went to in Long Beach — and the best. Since first going there I’ve been on a monumental quest to find somewhere closer to home… with no luck.
Mike’s a genius and does an excellent job, but I don’t see him around much anymore. The ladies who are there give great cuts too — better than any of the other places I’ve been around town!
Looks like in the future I’m resigned to drive all the way across town to Belmont Shore Barber’s for my cuts.

Mike is awesome always great convo and a great cut. Then go to panama joes and watch a game while looking fly!

The cuts are spotty at best– overpriced and unsatisfying.
I want to like this shop but even with the *long* history I find this place lacking both on cut and service.
The Syndicate or even Dean Anthony are better choices.

After using some of the more popular salons on 2^nd Street, about 18 months ago I finally gave BS Barber a try. Wish I’d done so sooner. I’ve yet to get a bad cut and always enjoy the friendly banter. Unless you pop in on Friday at noon, you can usually get to the chair quickly.
