Jerry’s Hair Designs

Great guy and great work. I live pretty close by and always walked by his shop but never went in. Decided to finally stop by, and I was glad I did. Small wait but worth it in my opinion.

I intentionally did not shave for 3 days. Knowing I was going to Jerry’s for a haircut, i decided to enhance the experience with an old fashioned barbershop shave.
Great! experience. Walked out looking good and feeling better. As usual, thanks Jerry.

I live a few blocks away from Jerry’s Hair Design and I’ve walked by many times without going in. I finally decided to go in. As I stood outside the door, I peeked in and saw his smiling face waving me in. He noticed my reluctance and immediately reassured me that I was welcome and that he knows how to cut a Black man’s hair.
Not only can he cut my hair, he has great attitude and reasonable prices. It was the best decision that I made all day. While I was there, I noticed a few of his regular customers would walk by and wave hello as they passed by his shop. To me, that is a sign of a dedicated professional that has made his mark in the neighborhood.
His shop is cozy with no frills. Just a flatscreen tv and good conversation with an experienced barber. Definitely worth a visit.

It’s all done by one person — Jerry!
he’s the best. He is like a father figure who is patient and very friendly.
He really takes his time to cut your hair the way you requested.
What made me his customer is his generosity and sincerity.
We always talk about movies, politics, sports, or anything that’s on his TV.
If I stay quiet, he takes the hint and doesn’t try to start a conversation.
He will not get offended if you tell him you’re tired and you don’t feel like talking.
He’s very laid back and understanding.
For haircuts, he is at a master level.
He cuts it very clean and organized. It’s all lined straight and perfect.
trust me, he really really takes his time and cut hairs swiftly. There isn’t a single hair that sticks out or is cut out of pattern.
If you want a cut, set up an appointment. Be there 10 mins early. It’s not fair for Jerry if you come 5 mins late and there’s a customer that is waiting. Don’t complain if your appointment gets pushed. Be there early or at least on time. It’s a one man’s business. Put yourself in his shoes and try to understand.

Jerry is awesome! I have taken my step-​son here 4 times now, and he has always done a great job. My step son has a lot of hair and it grows fast, and Jerry always makes sure he gets the cut right. He is so kind and truly a genuine person.
We have always been lucky and found a space to park in the front of the shop. Meter parking for those of you wondering.

Jerry himself is a VERY nice man and great to talk to… However…
WEIRD HOURS
Jerry opens & closes whenever he feels like it and doesn’t follow the hours posted on his window. I had to come back 2 – 3 hours later because he wasn’t open yet, and it was already 1 hour past his posted Open time.
LET ME SEE THE MIRROR!!!
The #1 thing that (really) irritates me about Jerry is that he NEVER, and I mean NEVER, has you facing the mirror. For a service-​oriented place like a barber shop, it is important to face the mirror DURING the haircut, NOT AFTER. Jerry will have you either facing the wall or the doorway and not ’till the end do you see the haircut (and if you’re not happy & want more work done, you look like the bad guy to everyone else waiting in line and hoping that you’ll shut up & get off the chair already).
HAIRCUTS ARE «HIT & MISS»
I really think Jerry shines the best when he’s doing more cosmetic work, because his haircuts for men are «hit & miss». He has tons of certifications on his wall, so I honestly think he makes more money off of that than the haircuts, so he isn’t as motivated to do a good job on your haircut.
NEVER HONORS «APPOINTMENTS»
I would always call before going, since I am a very busy person and don’t like waiting, and he would always say «You are next. I’ll hold the spot for you. Come over!». Then I would show up, and he’d tell me that someone else was there before me.
BOTTOM LINE
If you live in the neighborhood and are within walking distance, then come to Jerry’s since it doesn’t involve a long trip. But if you’re a busy person and/​or are very particular about your hair, then this place may not be for you. I came here 5 – 6 times altogether because Jerry is very likeable and every other haircut was a good one, but I stopped coming because of all of the above.

After moving to LA I had not gone to a barber for several month due to the fact that I have had the same barber fro the past 6 years. I did my research on Unilocal and came across Jerry. This guy does a better job than anything I could have asked for. Old school vibe barber shop, a good dose a political convos and a haircut so clean it deserves its own holiday. I’m very pleased with how quickly he can work me into his schedule, some of these over-​priced hipster places tried to book me 2.5 weeks in advanced, which I think is beyond ridiculous. We’re talking about a haircut here, not a colonoscopy. Jerry keeps it real, is flexible with timing and treats my pre-​jerry, sometimes offensive hairdo like diamond in the rough.

Jerry’s the man. If you need a cut, then you’ll get a clean one here.
But for $ 20, I expect a little more than just a simple touch up. He really makes the haircut a true experience. I’m talking big screen TV, AC, leopard print capes, you name it — he has it. Every few weeks, I come in and we chat about various subjects, and he has a great view about living life.
Parking is usually easier to find weekdays, and usually you can get a spot right in front of the place. Make sure you put in a little extra time if y’all decide to talk more. Never been disappointed with a haircut, and I’ll be returning for sure in the future.

Really cool and humble place, I can tell you jerry has an artistic touch when it comes to hair, with 20+ years under his belt, he knows what he’s doing. After the haircut he breaks down what he did and techniques he used. Very educated in his line of work.
Thanks jerry

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. Jerry is amazing! Upon walking into Jerry’s humble yet welcoming barber shop I was happily greeted by Jerry himself. Unfortunately he was busy with another customer at the time but was quick to set up an appointment for me just 30 min later. While he took my info down the man in the chair also took the time to say hello and let me know that it was worth the wait and that Jerry was the best in town and that he had been going here for well over a decade! So after a short lunch I returned to Jerry’s and hopped right into the chair. He immediately started to analyze his canvas and even noticed my VERY troublesome cowlick. Jerry was very helpful in helping me decide exactly what haircut best suited my hair and my face. He was careful and took his time which is huge! Also during all this I was kept entertained my constant conversation. Jerry is the man and has a lot to talk about. In the end all I want to really say is Jerry is fantastic! Great haircuts by a great guy!
ps. He also does massages if you really want the full experience!

This old dudes a joke. Charges like 20 bucks for a pompadour with a line, I came out feeling ripped off and violated.
How dare this joker charge 20 bucks for a haircut was so uneven and my line so crooked that even a old ladies noticed it.
Idk how everybody thinks this guy cuts hair like ice cube but no, please don’t come here and pay 20 bucks for a a haircut my cousin Ginny can do for you and she just going to school right now.

I needed a haircut in pinch, I started to walk around K-​town to see what was available. Clearly by chance Jerry was available for and a shave. Jerry is a master of his craft, a true professional and all around good guy. It’s been over 5 years since my first cut and I make it a point to get a cut and shave every couple of weeks. Jerry is by far the best of the best! Thanks Jerry…

I came to get my hair tidied up. I was pleasantly surprised at Jerry with how accommodating and polite he is; he’s a pretty chill guy. I feel like he knows what he’s doing; he’s been around the business for a while. I told him what I think I wanted and he took what my idea and made it better, and that’s why I think he’s a great barber.

This is the ideal place for perfectionists. I’ve been cutting my own hair since I was 15 so I know exactly what works with my style. Then, I went to Jerry’s.
I can happily say I trust him with my hair and style. He is an artist who understands craftsmanship. Do not bother coming in when you have something else planned out. Set an appointment when you have extra time because he pays attention to details. I couldn’t stop staring at myself in the mirror with a smile that stretched from ear to ear.
Jerry is knowledgable and he utilizes professional techniques. It is a jewel when you meet someone who knows precisely what you are looking for AND who knows exactly what works best for you… And that’s why I will be returning here for my hair.
I don’t like the word «cut» because I am a person of «Style.» It is something personal and Jerry understands it well. The price might be on the higher side; however, after considering the service you get and the overall professionalism, it is all worth it.
I am looking forward my next hairstyle ideas. Cheers :)

Best barber I’ve ever had. He kept my appointment time and cut my hair nicer than I ever thought.
He even gave me some tip on maintaining my hair that worked. Coming back for my second cut today!

Rarely does one find a servicer in this city who blends great service, a great product, and exceptional conversation. Jerry is the very paragon of excellent service, his haircuts are second to none, and his conversational manner has convinced me that he actually cares about me, rather than just my business.
I seldom come across a barber who can handle my curly/​wavy white guy hair, but Jerry seems to understand the very genetics of my hair and scalp, providing less of a haircut and more of a concerto which flows from the snips of the overture gradually into the buzz and cut of the crescendo.

So There I Was… playing barber roulette again on Unilocal,in search of that one barber that can give me that perfect cut or fade I want EVERY time. I pulled the trigger on Jerry’s and instead of shooting myself in the head again and being disappointed, I shot myself with a damn good haircut!
So far, Jerry has been a gift from God, giving me that perfect hair cut every time and after watching him at work, this guys a straight artist. It doesn’t matter if you’re Korean, English, Spanish, African-​American, Arabic, Russian, Polynesian, a dog, or speak Sign Language, he knows and understands exactly how you want your hair to look.
Another great thing about this place is that you get that «old school barbershop» vibe. Jerry provides an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere where people from all different generations can come and express opinions, share ideas, and even tell a dirty joke from time to time, all in a comfortable setting like the good ol’ days.
Simply put, this place is Definitely worth going to. You won’t be disappointed.

I don’t write Unilocal reviews frequently — usually only when a business moves me to an extreme (either happiness or anger). That said, it would be a crime if I didn’t give a review of Jerry’s Hair Designs.
First off, I am extremely finicky about my hair. I go through a ton of barbers until I find one that I can trust. I found Jerry over a year ago and have not been to another Barber since.
When you first walk into the door you are going to be greeted by Jerry, who is always friendly and always smiling. Rule #1 of business — if a customer feels welcome, they are much more likely to to return. And boy does Jerry make you feel welcome!
Personality aside, he is a genius when it comes to cutting hair. He just gets it. He knows what cuts go with what texture of hair, he feels around the head before cutting so that he can get an idea of the shape, and he is a MASTER at blending.
Simply put, if you are going to anyone else and you live in or around Koreatown, then you are screwing yourself out of a great haircut and a great experience.

Jerry is quite honestly the best barber I have ever been to. I used to live walking distance from his shop which made it easy to just call and say «Hey Jerry, you got some time for me in like 3 minutes?» «Oh, Sure Scott, come on over.»
However I moved away from that apartment and was concerned about finding another barber within walking distance. I tried a few places, but none of them worked out. Even though Jerry is no longer my neighborhood barber, I still make the trek to see him.
I can say for certain at this point even if I ever move out of the city, state or country, I will find a way to make it back to Jerry whenever I need a trim. «Hey Jerry, you got some time for me in like 3000 minutes?» «Oh, Sure Scott, come on over.»

Been wanting to try this place out for a while as I’m trying to take my hair to new, longer places. The faux-​hawk days and mom’s haircut days may be over.
During my time at USC the past few years, I’ve been frequenting a local barbershop which charges $ 8 bucks and gets you in and out in 15 minutes or so.
Had to wait a little for Jerry as he was on a break and the place was locked up but upon sitting in a chair, it was all that was advertised on Unilocal.He shook my hand and we introduced ourselves, a strong way to start a «close» relationship. /​pun
I told him what I wanted (a type of pompadour thing) and we discussed if my length of hair was suitable among other strategy. He then went to work and we discussed everything from Iron Man and Star Trek, to new Mayor Garcetti, and the current economic situation.
It was great conversation and he’s a funny and well-​spoken individual. He also discussed how he is proud of high Unilocal score and the care he places into each customer. He acts as if he’s the one in the chair and gives the most care and detailed work he possibly can. He says with his level of care and his reasonable prices (he doesn’t try to stiff people), he’s satisfied with his business.
Also, he’s the only one that does the cuts cause he can’t be sure the barbers he hires will give you the same level of detail and care. Talk to the guy and there’s no way you won’t like what he has to say about doing his job.
After about 35 – 40 minutes maybe and much detailed work, including mousse and shaving cream action, my cut was complete. I am very satisfied with it. I didn’t really know what I was going to say to the barber upon arrival but with Jerry’s help, I left with a cut I was very happy with. Felt good to give business and recognition to a good guy too.
As I walked out the door, he gave me one more joke for the road. He said «Wait! Watch for ladies being all over you once you step outside.»
Will do, Jerry. Will do.
