Best Haircut experience in my life!!! Andy is a true professional and great person to speak with. I look forward to getting my haircut here until I'm bald. Thank you Andy read more

Michelle is awesome. She gives great cuts at a fair price and is super chill. The place is small with maritime vibes as the name suggests.

This place is THE place. Michelle is excellent! When my fiancé and I came back to the LA area - I was worried he would never find someone who would give him a decent haircut let alone a good cut. Well, Michelle gives more than just a good haircut. Her work is excellent! I think we are officially never leaving California again, because we've found the best of the best and what would be do? Also, the shop is adorable and is so calm. read more

Does this shop need another 5 star review? IDK. yeah? It is the best barber shop I have been to in Pasadena, and it is in my top 3 ever...since like 85. It is a bit harder to get a spot, so book in advance. It costs a few dollars more than the walk in spot 2 blocks away with the cross eyed barber giving $15 crooked line ups but it is worth it. The vibe is relaxed and the cuts are good. 100% solid. read more

Andy is the best barber I've ever had. Always gets my haircut exactly right. He's also a good conversationalist, not too quiet but also not so chatty you can't get a word in. Highly recommend! read more

Great experience, great haircut. Gorgeous spot with a nice environment. Would definitely go back.

Very cool place to get a haircut. Chill vibe, good cut, in the arcade in Lake. I'll be back.

I can't remember the last time I went to the same barber shop for two or more consecutive visits. It was probably during a time when Obama was still in office and no one knew what a smartwatch was. After doing a search for nearby barber shops and seeing a vast list, I was lucky enough to pick Boathouse. It's a classy little shop that aims for a laid back nostalgic feel and hits the mark. Absent are the row of 10 chairs and blaring music. It's a little two seat place with a cool owner named Andy who you'll take an immediate liking too. Most importantly, the haircuts are great. Michelle is my new go to barber. She takes her time and seems to take a few extra steps when cutting my hair that I really don't see from other barbers. It shows in the finished product. Like Andy, Michelle is very nice and doesn't seem to mind when I ask to take more off the top just when you think everything is finished. Another terrific aspect is the online booking. No more walking in and praying there isn't a line. You pick a time and get your haircut as soon as you walk in. Also, free beer (at least I think it's free - I declined to take one). tl;dr - Just an overall great experience where I can get a haircut my wife actually likes. read more

I just got my hair cut by Michelle and I love it! I've been trying out different barbers and could never find the right one until now. This shop is super clean, decorated in vintage boat parts and operated by friendly barbers. The whole time I was there, we had great conversations along with a free beer! I felt extremely comfortable the entire time I was there and will be going back many more times! read more

Boathouse Barbershop - My scissor cut hair by Michelle - Barbers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great barbershop. Two talented barbers, Michelle made my covid19 mop, look great. I was impressed by how well they did their work, with all of the additional pandemic required steps. Thank you read more

So glad I discovered this shop! Andy and Michelle are fantastic barbers and genuinely good people. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I'm so happy I walked past this Barbershop. I had booked an appointment for my 8 year old son elsewhere, but once we caught a glimpse of the shop we just had to go in and give it a try. The owner, Andy, was great with my son. My son absolutely hates haircuts and by the time we left he said "Thank you for the best haircut of my life!". We felt very welcome as a walk-in. The shop is so beautiful and clean. It was an absolute pleasure! read more

See all

Andy offers great old school gentleman's cuts at reasonable prices. His shop is a two chair affair that plays classic jazz and swing music and is one of the cleanest shops you'll find around. Stop in, have a beer and get to looking dapper. Free parking for 90 minutes in the parking lot (tons of parking spots). read more

Boathouse is super clean and beautifully designed with a modern take on an old-school barbershop. I've gone to both Andy & Michelle - though primarily Andy - and I receive excellent cuts consistently. The conversation is always fantastic, and the experience is always relaxing. Parking is easy & convenient, and there are shops nearby for a post-haircut snack or drink. The only criticism is that they fill up quickly, so you'll want to book online in advance using the online booking system, which is incredibly convenient & user-friendly. read more

this was the best haircut I've ever had. I did not have that 'freshly-shorn' look, but just looked good. I've my birthday party coming up soon, and I look just right. See you in a couple of weeks. Martin Weiss read more

Simple interior, quality service, great location WITH parking. I can find a chop-shop, turn-n-burn barbershop anywhere. I now have a barbershop with a quality barber in a premium location. Talking with Andy, listening to the pride he puts into his work and the pride he has in himself really put me at ease. It could be the beer that put me at ease, though. I'll be back again and looking forward to the same quality, same conversation, same good time. read more

Boathouse Barbershop - Self styled with light pomade. The blueprint that Andy laid down will allow this to grow out nicely. - Barbers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Andy is a great guy and always entertains. Nothing quite like a quality haircut with conversation to boot. Aside from providing the finest cut around, they are also taking appropriate precautions with temperature checks, stringent adherence to sanitation and occupancy, as well as disposable single-use capes for their customers. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Best haircut I've received, right before my wedding day!

$35 for a clean cut (and exactly what I asked for) is a steal in LA. Also, Michelle's possibly the best barber I've ever had!

When I moved to LA I spent the first year bouncing around to different barbers until I found Andy. Beyond being a great guy he is a fantastic barber and charges super reasonable rates (as compared to many barbers locally who charge up to double for the same services!). read more

My favorite barber, Michelle, recently moved to this location, and I have to say that I love it! Great cuts, easy parking, fair prices, and an excellent vibe! All around A+! read more

Simply amazing! I'm very pleased with my cut and will definitely be back. Very pleasant to talk to and the shop has a super cool vibe. Andy has done a great with the place. He took me in at short notice and I now consider myself a "Boathouse Barbershop" customer. Can't wait to be back for my next cut! read more

I first saw Andy some years ago when I was looking for a new barber. In that first visit I knew I found my guy. He's super friendly and knows his stuff. The service is always top notch and you'd be hard-pressed to find similar quality of work at a reasonable price. read more

This place has yet to open but when you discover how talented Andy is there will be lines out the door. I've been going to him for a while at the Parlour in Burbank and look forward to seeing his own place in Pasadena even though it's a further drive. Highly recommend the shave treatments he provides. read more

Thanks Andy! Great haircut and fun conversation, what more could you ask for? I'll be coming back for many more cuts to come.

Great haircuts and the shop is very relaxing and clean! Love the appointment only scheduling and highly recommend Andy!

For an extra $5, I get a considerably better haircut, a beer, great music, and I don't have to awkwardly pretend like I'm enjoying the jolt of a nuclear powered back massager? Sign me up. read more

I used to get my haircut from Andy when he worked at a barbershop in Burbank. I followed him when he opened up his own shop in Pasadena. He provides a great cut at a reasonable price. He pays a lot of attention to detail, and the set-up of his barbershop is great. Andy's the man. read more

haven't been to the new location but i used to get my hair cut by Andy at the parlor in burbank and i always left happy. sorry to see he's all the way in pasadena now, but happy he's got his own spot. hope to make it out there soon. read more

When traveling for work it is always hard to find a trustworthy barber. Glad I found this one. Andy was meticulous in his craft and Joy to talk to. Will definitely be returning! read more

Both me and my 10-year old son have been coming to see Andy for over a year now. It's our special dad-kid grooming time we like to do every 6 weeks or so. And Andy always makes it memorable, fun-loving and stylish! He's a talented barber and just an overall amazing person. Parking is super easy and the shop is tucked away in a quiet and charming row of boutiques and restaurants. Just look for the barber pole and listen to the sounds of classical jazz guitar wafting in the air! read more

Andy's the best! I've been getting my hair cut for years by him and I've never once had a bad cut! He's knows exactly what style is the best and never fails to deliver. read more

Was a frequent customer of Andy's when he cut near me at Parlour in Studio City. That I'm willing to make the hump to Pasadena should be all you need to know about his skills and lovely demeanor. read more

Since this business is not yet open I'll mention that it looks like a great place. A single chair barbershop in one of my favorite spots in Pasadena. If you have never been to The Arcade it's worth a trip. Free parking too! read more
