I asked Rich for a high taper fade. One side actually looked solid, but the other side was straight-up uneven and honestly looked like trash. I don't know how you mess up symmetry on a fade that bad. For someone charging $40 (plus $10 extra for a beard and mustache trim), I expected way more attention to detail. If you're asking for premium prices, the cut should be consistent on both sides--period. Not hating, just keeping it real. Consistency is key. read more

Issac recently shaved my head and cleaned up my beard. Did a great job, definitely had me right for the wedding I attended

My son went in this morning for a tapered fade, and the barber didn't even try. It's so bad I have to take him to another barber tomorrow to fix it. My son showed a picture, and the barber said he could do ...but honestly, he should've been upfront if he couldn't. It's so frustrating, especially since my son won't complain. What a waste of money. read more

The only barbershop you should go to! I've tried all of the shops in Long Beach over the last 4 years and 911 Fades is by far the best! The welcoming atmosphere feels like home and every barber makes you feel like family. If you are looking for a fresh cut with a traditional Black barbershop feel, this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed in your results or the price you pay. All the barbers are highly talented and the cost is fair. Book your appointment today! read more

1st off 911 Fades responds very quickly to your messages and calls. Although they accept walk-ins, I appreciate it. They can make a firm appointment. I had an interview and I need a haircut really fast. I'll call 911 Fades at 7:30 AM, and Rich answer the phone and setup my appointment. Rich did a small interview with me to see what I like and then that was it. He took it from there. The cut was kold! But the shave and hot towel killed the game for me. I left 911 feeling and looking good. I thankful to Rich for getting in at the last moment and for really taking the time to understand what I wanted. The shave and hot towel was an unexpected treat. I am sure all of the barbers at 911 can cut, but I recommend RICH. Last chair to the right. read more

Booked an appointment with Brandin. He didn't even show up. Isaac called him for me and it turns out he was too hungover to come. Shame

The worst barbershop I ever been at in Long Beach they treat you like trash don't even ask you how the haircut is going please guys don't waste your money going here... read more

Amazing place! I'm new to the area and was skeptical trying to find a new barber. They took me on a walk in and Richard did a fantastic job making sure I got the cut I wanted, great vibes good people all the way read more

Great quality haircut for a fair price! The shop was clean and cozy. This is the second time I've been here and will continue coming back.

Aaron you wont go wrong just communicate with him how u want your hair done .very good vibe and very articulate

Definitely found my new barbershop. Walked in, Aaron took me after a couple clients, and I was very impressed. Only told him two things and he went to work and cut my hair exactly how I needed it. read more

Called last min, walked in for a cut for my son. Barber Andres' gave him a clean fade. Came back a week later and got a fade myself. Definitely coming back. Cool vibes. No crazy rap playing. read more

Because I met a client of theirs at a restaurant with a fresh haircut and I'm not on set today; I decided on Monday to take the 45 minute drive on down to Long Beach to try them out. Now I also checked their yelp page which say's "open till 7pm" before I left. Well....here I am; 12:14 pm standing outside the locked door that says, "we are open Tues. Through Saturday. It REALLY would have been nice for the owner to put that on their business page. Super disappointed. I also decided to phone them while in route realizing that a lot of times barbers can't pick up while their cutting. The number just rings and rings. Nobody even thought to leave a courtesy voice message for clients calling in?? Something with...days/hours of operation?? #wasteoftime read more

I came here in a pinch and I think it was Stephen who helped me. I had to wait for a couple people ahead of me, but I appreciated him accommodating me late on a Sunday. The cut came out great and was done faster than I expected. I got my money's worth for sure and will come here again. read more

Decent barbershop and prices. It is typically available for walk-ins. However, I no longer seek their services for my son and myself, since one of the barbers, no name recalled but he had braids w/ a beard, took pictures of my son without obtaining consent. Although it isn't illegal, it's weird and unprofessional. **Proceed with caution** read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Hours need to be updated . First as we're walking in the barber there is giving us a very unpleasant look that was problem #1. Number 2 he didn't greet us with any customer service , on the contrary went on to nod his head and say I'm closed even though time shows closing at 7pm . I wasn't going in there for a free cut I would've been a paying customer and probably would've come back we're new to the area and in need of a barber for my son. read more

So glad my roommate recommended this spot. Monk is my barber now! Great customer service, exquisite atmosphere and he got me right! This was my 3rd attempt finding a barber in Long Beach. So glad I found this place and it's a black barbershop too! read more

The barber Rich cut my sons hair. He was awesome and made my son look fresh.. We will be coming back to this shop

Finding a reliable barber is one of the hardest things to do, but this shop is great and checks all the boxes. My personal barber is Aaron and he's always on time, efficient, does a great job on my cuts, and is an overall good dude! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new barber! read more

I am so grateful to the young men in this shop. They are so kind to less fortunate. My son as he calls himself is mentally ill in a fixed income and looks homeless. He is welcomed and treated so kind and has never been turned away because of how he looks or Smells. Thank You so much many blessings to you all. read more

I just left and fresh tah def! Its a very welcoming environment with a cool vibe. It is super clean and in a popping area. Ask for Orin!!!!!! read more

Rich has become my barber for the past few cuts. He is attentive and gives a quality haircut. Rich is focused on giving good haircuts and highly recommended. Thank you read more

Richard is the best if you really want a good barber. He's a genuine good guy always gives the best haircuts. He's awesome dude.

I'll get straight to the point here. If you're white, DO NOT COME HERE. Worst haircut I've ever got in my life. I'd rather donate $30 to charity instead cuz that's basically what I did. read more

Long Beach did not let my dad "Big Dew" and me down today! I finally found my dad a new barber shop since moving to Huntington Beach last year after countless attempts to get my dad a hair cut. As a bonus, they told us where to go for great BBQ at BBQ Chef -Thanks Big Rose that brisket is unbelievable! And good looking out 911 Fades, you were right!!! read more

Mikey has been holding me down for about two years now! Most of the barbers I believe work on appointments however they do accept walkins if they can fit you in. read more

Wow some of these reviews man. LOL Ya'll really be bitter over overpaying for coming late or calling and not making an appointment. 1. Would you expect your boss to pay you overtime if he had asked you to stay late? Yes you would. So why is that any different that getting charged a bit more for coming right before they close. These barbers all have lives outside of the shop, and stand on their feet all day. The last thing they want to do is stay longer after a hot ass day. 2. I don't understand how people get upset that they can't attend to you if you're a walk in. I've been bringing my brother here for more than 2 years and we make appointments. These guys are all busy and have their clientele. Some of them have back to back appointments and can't attend walk ins. They do there best but be responsible and make an appointment before coming on here crying about petty issues. I still hold 100% true to my reviews. Mikey continues to be one of the best barbers in the shop. True to his craft and always humble. We will follow Mikey to the ends of the earth for a cut. Keep doing what your doing bro! read more

Do not go here. I went here and I asked the guy in the chair back right (don't know his name, it was my first time) to cut a "little off the top" and clean up the sides and he basically gave me a buzz cut when I never asked for that. Very unprofessional would not recommend coming here go somewhere else don't waste your money. Seriously!!! read more

Mikey the barber is flat-out amazing I came to this location to have my hair cut on Friday after cutting my dreads out he hooked me up I'm very happy with my haircut and I keep getting a lots of compliments I have a barber for Life thanks Mikey. read more

911 Fades - Haircut by Mikey I'm a happy camper. - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

This place is great! It has a much more newer barber shop feel. The barbers are all very cool and have their own unique style and expertise. I come here every 6 weeks to get my haircut and beard trimmed. Overall very cool. They have TV's with sports on at all times. They talk about sports constantly which is cool to sit in and listen to. The Barbers can be reached at independently and can give you an appointment or fit your schedule if you need to. Check it out! They are awesome! read more

Now this is the kind of barbershop I'm use to back home in Memphis and Chicago. I recently moved here from Memphis and needed a barber in the worst way. I looked up shops close to my home and came across this one. As soon as I walked in, classic barbershop convo was going on. Aaron was my barber and he is the man. Real cool guy and is a very skilled barber for sure. I highly recommend him not only for how good he is with the clippers but he's also a pretty cool down to earth guy with good conversation. I will definitely be back and will see Aaron when I do. read more

There are two things that I cannot switch back and forth with, and that is my church and my barber. Since moving to Long Beach from San Diego in 2007, I feared not being able to find a barber that could accommodate my style and creativity with my hair, but I was referred to 911 Fades and told that they would get the job done. When I walked into the building, I asked that dreadful first time customer question, "how many you got?" Aaron LeFlore was the first to respond and took me as his next client. I explained to him what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations tenfold! From that day on I have been rocking with Aaron. Not only is he a dope barber, but he has become a great friend. Hands down, 911 Fades is where you need to come if you want to enter a cool atmosphere, engage in diverse conversation and of course walk out feeling like a million bucks! Hit them up today! read more

So I've been coming to this barbershop for a couple of years now and I can say that its my favorite shop. They are friendly and real cool to talk to. They take their time in cutting hair which is a plus because you dont want someone rushing and not do a good job. If your looking for a good cut and looking to get your money's worth come to 911 fades! Never been disappointed here, they accept cash (obviously) and debit/credit. read more

BOOM. 5 stars for these guys. They did a great job on my fiancés hair cut. They took their time and were very nice the whole time. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get an excellent cut. read more

See all

Place is nice. Close to where I live. Did a great job on my hair. Only thing I don't like sometimes is how barbers get sidetrack with getting to your hair. They start doing something else when you are ready to get your hair done and go. Other than that. Friendly place and It will be a regular barber shop I go to. read more

911 Fades - This place is a life saver. Definitely coming back. - Barbers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Was very satisfied with my experience here.. when I got a hair cut here instantly upon walking out the shop and girl look at me and said "with yo fine a**" read more

I just walked in. Nobody there. And they just looked at me as if I was a ghost. I knew they couldn't fade a pale cats hair! Avoid it! It's a gimmick. read more

It's always hard to find a good barber, particularly Sunday's when everyone closes early. I was especially glad when I found 911 Fades on Yelp. Primarily because they are open until 7 pm. Kendall was very helpful, service oriented and did a really good job. Definitely coming back to see him. read more

I went there a couple of times and every time I went there they would let people they know go ahead of me even though I have been waiting for almost an hour. Absolutely disrespectful. read more

What a great spot! Amazing prices and the employees are a great bunch of friendly hard working guys and you can tell they love what they do. If you want a quick in and out trim this isn't the place for you because these men are perfectionists. Even though I adore my sons hair long, it was enjoyable to watch Stevo cut his thick curly unruly mop. The end result had my boy beaming and he asked me why I had never taken him to a barber before. Then he said, "I'm never going anywhere else, this is my spot." great jobs guys read more
