Wow. Where do I begin? Not sure where the 4 stars came from. Guess people just trying to support small businesses in this economy with no real merit. I came in for a simple haircut. A bit off the top and a high skin fade. Having had hundreds of haircuts done in the past I knew something was off. No neck strip, loose cape. I got so much hair under my shirt. Once the barber alleged the haircut was complete I got to take a look at it and saw the complete mess I already knew was happening. Lopsided fade lines. I wouldn't even call them fade lines. It was like looking at a border crossing. It did not blend at all. I asked that he correct it and went back to doing the exact thing he was doing before. So, I saw screw it. I had him just shave my entire hair off. There was no point on continuing to try. Over an hour for a simple cut just to end up having to shave off all of my hair. Worst haircut experience of my entire adult life. Never had to entirely shave my hair. Then still get charged $45 for something I didn't screw up. My recommendation? Stay away. Look elsewhere. I've been to a super cuts that did a less crappier job than at this place. Wow. Just wow. If you don't believe my review go and get your screwed up cut for yourself. read more

IF YOU WANT A FREE BUT F'd UP HAIRCUT. THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU!! One of the barbers definitely does not know what he is doing, I asked for a low fade and he chopped off most of my hair. I had to stop him mid cut and his buddy stepped in but there was no going back. Worst haircut I've ever got in my life. Nothing is even, they left patches & scratches. Never thought I'd experience something like this with a haircut. read more

This was a bruising and painful experience, quite literally. In addition, it was overpriced. The barber cut my face right above my mustache (very visible) and scratched the back of my neck with some God-awful blade. The buzzer wasn't very sharp and it pulled my hair several times. This "treatment" cost me $70!! I was charged an additional $10 for trimming my eyebrows. Unbelievable! Certainly not going back there. read more

We love Daniel. He's been cutting and coloring my hair for years. I always receive compliments on my hair when I see him. He's worth the drive for us so happy we found him. read more

I walked in on a Sunday afternoon, and I was greeted promptly. I had to wait while one of the barbers wrapped up with the person in his chair. Then he invited me to sit in his chair. Then we chatted about the photos I had brought in to guide the style for the shaved sides of my hair. He took the assignment very seriously and sketched out some options using a white eyeliner pencil so I could see what he was planning before we committed to it. He nailed it and only charged me $30. I was in and out within 30 minutes. It was an excellent experience and I'll be back. Do note, they only accept cash and debit cards - no credit. read more

Walked in today for an over due cut. I specifically asked for short and spiky on top and short on the sides. The barber was nice enough, I'm not going to review his personality. He was very polite. I did thought I was leaving with bruises on my head. A bit forceful. When I got home though, I realized I was almost bald on the sides and it looked like nothing was taken from the top. Never going back. Not going to recommend to anyone. He didn't listen. read more

2nd and last time coming to this barber shop. First time it was okay of a cut. But this second hair cut was pretty awful. I asked for a mid taper starting with a .5 and this is what I got. Not worth $55+ He also proceeded to educate me that next time ask for a fade.... Sir I'm 34 and I know what I want. I went to a barber down the street to fix it and had to pay again. read more

Bolt Barbers - This is their version of a .5 mid taper - Barbers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

45$ for 15 minute quick shave, with hairs still left on chin. Employees scoffed at taking me as a client. Customer service lacking.

In need of a quick haircut before my flight from LAX. My man Angio did a great job in providing a cut based on a photo I shared with him. A little pricey for a buzz cut but maybe this is what DTLA prices are ($50 excl tip). Great place to swing by if you need a quick fix. Just make sure you get a photo of what you are looking for. read more

This place is great. Stopped in for a straight razor shave and Desmond did a fantastic job. Cool place, nice vibe. Would definitely come back. read more

My barber Danilo is the best. We don't speak the same language so I always bring a photo of what I want and he does it exactly. Last time I let him be creative and this was what happened I get so many compliments and I can't wait to continue getting this cut. He's also not creepy like many other male barbers when they cut a pretty girls hair. read more

Luis Aranda hands down is one of the best barbers I've ever been cut by! I used to have a mohawk before and wanted to go really clean and simple, and just the amazing cut you can get for a simple haircut is PERFECT. I like my hair with a High black white contrast and I haven't met many who can do something so simple like this and look this clean. Thank you Luis for being so friendly and as well as the amazing haircuts. Cut to perfection! read more

Daniel at Bolt Barbers is great! My wife & I both get our haircuts here, & he nails it every time. Our styles are pretty simple, but somehow other places like Fantastic Sam's still manage to mess them up. Not Daniel--he's precise & consistent. Highly recommended. read more

While I was in LA with my husband, he needed a grooming and we were lucky enough to find Daniel at Bolt. Bolt is a funky, cool barber shop with old school vibes and up to the minute styling.

The older white guy with the beard has an attitude problem. Literally this guy is rude, passive aggressive, and argumentative. Please get rid of "Daniel" he's bad for busines. He claims he has 40 years behind the chair but with that attitude he sound like he just got out of beauty school. Seriously dude , why are you like this to clients . read more

I came in for a cut last night and the whole experience was pretty terrible. My barber seemed in a rush and could not be bothered to make very basic small talk. While trimming my neckline he applied the clippers directly to the back of my neck. It was startling, painful, and unlike any haircut I've ever received before. In reading through some of the other reviews I see that a few people have had identical experiences. When working through the top he made six quick hacks and was done. There was no attention given to following the previous cut, which is what I asked him to do. After about 12 minutes in the chair, he gave me a comb and told me to comb it myself (the f*ck?) and then sent me on my way. read more

Garbage barbers and sketchy people that think they can cut. Rather get cut in a backyard

Very classy barbershop. I have been cut by all barbers and they all do a great job but Vitaly's cut blew my mind. First time I went he knew exactly what cut I needed without me saying anything. He greeted me with a delicious beer and took me to the hair washing station to remove my hair product. At this point I have given him full control of my hair (which I never do. Its hard for me to trust anyone with my hair) I have been going to him and only him for 2 years. He will give you an amazing cut and will trim your beard. He can also fill your beard in!! read more

If the Legendary Al Bundy had to pick a DTLA barber shop, it would be BOLT! Great service w/ a great atmosphere where a man can be a man & drink a beer while getting a trim. I've tried 6 other spots that were ok to good at trimming & lining up my beard. But "Eric" this fuggin guy is AMAZING!! This young guy is a perfectionist & he took his time & did everything the way I requested in the most respectful manner. I opted for the hot towel razor shave, bread trim & line up. Nothing makes you feel more like a boss than getting pampered with the works by an expert like Eric in an old-school classic barber shop. When I walked outta there I felt like John Travolta strutting down the street in beginning of Saturday Night Fever ready to take on the world! If you're a high value man who values his appearance, this place is a must for keeping those lines tight & looking fresh. Lastly, if you're as happy as I was with the final result, don't forget to leave a fat tip. read more

Disappointing experience tonight. Had one cut from them in the past. Was excellent. Hoped this could be my main spot. Made appointment for 8pm on a Thursday with Mike Garcia(?). Showed up. AC is off. Muggy. Mike has someone in his chair, and tells me has another client afterwards. He didnt greet me. I had to approach him to find out. I would have to wait 40 minutes for him or wait for the other barber who also had one in the chair and one waiting (not sure if this person waiting had appt or not). No one attempted to make it right, so I left. Huge lack of respect for others' time. Terrible way to do business. Lost my business for good. Glad I didnt pay for parking, which is difficult to find in dtla. UPDATE 8/9/21: Business owner reached out to me and apologized. I appreciated it. She is offering to make things right by me, so I will have an update on this in a month or so when I go in for a haircut. UPDATE 9/24/21: Business owner set me up with a haircut with Vitaly. The appointment was on time, was pretty quick, and the haircut was good. Vitaly was nice and friendly. I appreciate the Business Owner's effort to make this right with me. read more

I recently went to Bolt Barbers while I was visiting LA for a wedding, and I'm now somewhat tempted to fly from SF to LA just for a haircut -- Gio did a phenomenal job! Great attention to detail for (especially given I had an event that night), perfect vision for how to cut my hair specifically (how the cut would fit the shape of my head, dealing w/ my cowlicks, how the cut would fall that night, and how it would grow out). Without exaggeration, it's the best haircut I've ever had. I immediately went home and took photos so I can show my barber here in SF what to do next time. Thanks Gio! read more

First of all, Bolt Barbers is the best barbershop I've ever been to, hands down. The prices are fair, there's never a long wait, everyone is very friendly, the atmosphere is hip and comfortable, and best of all, they give amazing haircuts. Vitaly has been my barber from the start, and I won't go to anyone else. He's a true craftsman and takes the aesthetic arts seriously. He has been cutting hair all around the world for many years, not out of necessity, but because it's his passion. I can see it in him because I'm an artist myself. Don't hesitate, call Bolt Barbers and ask for Vitaly. You won't be disappointed. read more

Vitaly did a great job with my husband's hair. He saw his hair and we expressed what we were thinking and he advised on what would work best for his hair. He is definitely a pro, knows what he is doing. He got the job done super quick and gave him a nice fresh cut with wash/blow dry included ! This place is open late and you can pop in with short notice which is really nice too. Thank you Vitaly! read more
