Terrible Haircut and Worse Customer Service at Svelte Barbershop & Essential…read more AVOID! I had the worst haircut experience of my life at Svelte Barbershop & Essential in Manhattan Beach, and I am incredibly disappointed with the results and the owner's complete lack of accountability. The owner, Nicky, was my barber, and he totally butchered my haircut. As the pictures clearly show, he cut a literal hole in my hair above my ear, creating a completely uneven and unacceptable result. It's a shocking lack of skill for someone who owns a barbershop. This wasn't a minor mistake; it was a disaster that ruined my look. Zero Effort to Correct the Situation. Following this terrible experience, I sent the owner, Nicky, several emails asking how he planned to correct this situation, as the damage he did will take weeks to grow out. He has ignored every single one of my emails. This is not only terrible business practice but also shows a blatant disrespect for a customer whose hair he ruined. A professional should immediately try to rectify a mistake, but Svelte Barbershop, and Nicky specifically, have chosen to hide instead. If you are looking for a skilled barber and a shop with even basic customer service, do not go to Svelte Barbershop & Essential. The owner, Nicky, is clearly unskilled and unwilling to take responsibility for his terrible work. This was the worst haircut I have ever received, coupled with the worst customer service. Save your money and your hair, go somewhere else! I've attached photos from the horrible cut about a week or so after being butchered and now a new haircut at a different barber, where he attempted to even it out. You can still see the chunk that was taken out but at least the haircut actually flows now and is not a total dumpster fire.

Champion Vibes Barbershop delivered an exceptional experience on my first visit! Manny worked wonders on my hair, nailing the cut exactly as I envisioned. And let's talk about the beard trim - it left my girlfriend impressed and declaring it the best my beard has ever looked! Looks like Manny has earned a loyal customer in me. The early morning visit paid off, as the shop wasn't bustling yet, but within 30 minutes, every barber was in action. With 8-12 chairs and each barber engaged, it's evident they know how to keep their clients happy and coming back for more. Parking is a breeze, with convenient options available, making the overall experience at Champion Vibes Barbershop a cut above the rest. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

The champion Vibes took me as a "walk in " on a evening weekday. I don't normally go out to get a haircut but I was surprised how good the haircut came out. Everyone I interacted with was very helpful and as soon as a chair was open I was able to be up next for the hair cut. I waited less than 10 minutes which was good. They seem to have a lot of customers and overall it was a good experience. read more
